WHY THE LEAGUE OF LIBERALS SUCKS
Ok, so the League of Liberals, or, more specifically, a member thereof, was trying to game the Ecosystem to make himself look better. Now there's some controversy over some bloggers getting double-counted in the voting.
Although I can certainly see why people would be upset at the perception of unfairness, I don't think it's really all that important. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I honestly don't care which entry wins the New Blog Showcase. If it's the LoL pick of the week, fine. For me, the big thing is the SPONSORSHIP that matters. I just want to see the Alliance banner back on top of the Showcase page.
I'll be frank. I DETEST the League of Liberals, but NOT because of some possible voting chicanery. I find them repugnant because of who they are, what they stand for, and what they say. You want to know why the LoL needs beating? Because they spout garbage like this:
"George W. Bush's entire presidency is little more than an acting-out of his own unresolved Oedipal conflicts." Even if his desires to defeat his father and win his mother are subconscious to him, they are painfully obvious to many others.
If you peel away American susceptibility to phony "heroes" like Bush, you find lurking at a subconscious level some regressive, oppressive, even fearful memes about masculinity.
Looking at central and south America, it's hard to find a nation that the United States has not invaded, or overthrown it's government.
No American public figure since Sherman has left so much scorched earth to be revived and nurtured back to health as has this president. In virtually every area of foreign and domestic policy, the next president will find a deliberate ruin, a wasteland of debt, corporate pork, deceit, abrogated treaties, sabotaged negotiations, bribed and coerced officials, compromised "science", ignored and eviscerated regulations, starved regulatory bodies, extreme right wing religious influence in the judiciary and legislative branches, unsupportable tax laws, oppressive military spending, police state powers that threaten the legitimate government itself, and a public media owned and operated for the benefit of the wealthiest and most conservative forces in American society.
Bush sneaks in and out of Baghdad airport in 2 hours under cover of darkness unlike some Presidents we remember
Bush “loves” freedom like Michael Jackson “loves” children.
That kind of unadulterated pig excrement deserves NO honors, no matter how small. Not even their banner on the Showcase page.
That, and they pull the wings off butterflies for fun. Sick bastards.
