The Virtues of Vitriol

Come on, Hugo. Bush is a terrible president, sure. But can we just scrap all the angel and devil and god talk for a minute?

It reminds me a little of bothering to hate someone you just merely don’t like. Someone who’s not worth the emotional expense of hatred.

I guess I’m just a little sick of Bush-bashing. True, I’m guilty of it from time to time. And it’s necessary to express our honest feelings and opinions.

I just don’t know how constructive it is to engage in name-calling, or to say Bush is dumb. I don’t think he’s dumb. I think his head is a little cloudy (guilty) and that his ideology is extreme. He actually believes what he says about bringing democracy to the Middle East, or that loggers have a right to keep cutting down trees, polluters can keep polluting.

But it’s truly time to start looking forward. It’s time to move beyond Bush.
