This comic is based on a Washington DC tradition that nothing, no building or otherwise, in the District of Columbia can be built higher than the statue of Freedom that sits at the top of the Capitol building. This represents that "nothing stands taller than Freedom".
Well, somebody thinks he does.
"Dubya" may have great intentions. He may honestly believe that he's a lone crusader doing the right thing for this country with or without the approval of the masses. I wonder what it's like to be so wrong and so clueless at the same time.
Lest I be accused of calling the kettle black, here is my shortlist for why Dubya is an agent of evil. Perhaps an unwitting (he sure has shown a lack of wits in his terms), but an agent of great harm none-the-less:
- The Patriot Act
- Guantanimo Bay
- Removing Habeas Corpus - Assumed innocence
- Domestic Spying
- Trying to enact laws to cover his butt after the fact
- Using the guise of "State Secrets" to cover his butt.
- Threatening and bullying anyone who would come forward with evidence of his wrong-doing
- Signing statements
- No Child Left Behind
- Using a false terminology ("War on Terror") to get and keep forever "wartime powers".
- The Deficit
- Silencing the Surgeon General
- Torture
- The Bushies
I can't figure out why I don't hate this man to the core, but I don't. I just want to see justice. His term is coming to an end and that's a great thing, but he can't be allowed to get away with all the harm he's done to Americans and the image of America among the nations of the world. He's a Criminal! Clinton go impeached for being a little sexually promiscuous. How can we keep this president around after all the damage he's done!?
Update!
There is a man who has put together a comprehensive list of Bush's scandals. Not just a bullet list, but a list and description of each. His intro includes this phrase:
What all this comes down to is that George Bush should never have become our President. He is not just a bad President but the worst one we could have had, the worst our country has ever seen. This is a judgment that many Americans have come to but which our political establishment and media, even after 6 years, have yet to acknowledge, accept, and act on. This is the tragedy and crime of our times.
Which was so beautifully put that it almost brought me to tears.

Jeremy!
Come join me on alt.politics.bush to talk about Bush’s past, the remaining months of his term, and his potential successors. I’d love to debate you about your views there. I’m continually looking for someone who can get beyond his hate of Bush and explain the issues without impulsively calling for impeachment.
(BTW, you’ve got some stale links above.)

Thanks for the info on the links, I’ve replaced a few and deleted one. I’ll see if I can find you in the group you suggested.
