This website was originally designed to
help defeat Bush in 2000, and was then updated to help defeat him in 2004. I thought if I
could educate some potential voters about some key issues they would vote against Bush.
It turns
out that most people did vote against Bush, but some other factors, like fraud, turned the
tables against the voter's votes. As a result of these fraudulent elections we ended up
with Bush who will be in office until 2008.
Thus far Bush's performance in office has
been much worse than I ever imagined possible. Bush's horrible leadership has motivated me
to re-double my efforts to expose him, and the wealthy criminal thugs behind his totally
corrupt, non-conservative, un-democratic, anti-middle class, and immoral fascist ideology.
Since the
election in 2004 I have transformed this website in an attempt to make it more effective.
I did this by making the articles more of a combination of BLOG (web log) articles,
investigative articles, editorial opinion columns, political cartoons, and news reports.
Sometimes all these different writing styles occur in the same article, but it keeps it
interesting for me, and hopefully for my readers.
Due to the
fact that all the articles on this site are written by one journalist, me, who has no
formal training as a journalist, and no editors to help correct mistakes, the articles
often have spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and problems with circumlocution,
tangents, digressions, and transitions. However, I'm getting better at editing my own
writing, and some of my readers help me edit by offering suggestions and corrections that
are a big help.
Some of my
Republican visitors have accused me of Freudian projections. Which means that I take some
of my personal anger and frustrations from some things that are going on in my personal
life and I re-direct them onto an undeserving subject, in this case George W. Bush and the
GOP. And maybe it's true to some degree, but I believe that Bush and the GOP deserve
every ounce of my abuse, and a lot more.
I'm just a hobby journalist and sometimes
it shows, but I am doing the best I can with what brain power I have left after 46 years
of poisoning myself with chlorine, caffeine, alcohol, food preservatives, food colorings,
nicotine, PCB's, trihalomethanes, leaded gas, photo chemicals, inks, mosquito repellants,
animal fats, soft drinks, fake sugars, genetically modified foods, candle smoke, cleaning
products, fried foods, sitting to close to my computer's CRT, and a few other substances
that I'm better off not mentioning.
After
reviewing that list of toxins it's a minor miracle that I can still think well enough to
feed and dress myself. Reflecting on this list also helps me to understand why so many
people in America still support Bush; they probably have fewer brain cells left than I do.
My most
recent political columns focus on current events occurring in and around the Bush
administration. They are not designed to hurt George W. Bush, or to change the minds of
people who support Bush, but rather to entertain, educate, and motivate people who are
ready in agreement with me about the need for new political leadership. New leadership
that will lead in the opposite direction Bush has been leading. Away from Fascism and
towards the founder's vision of a dynamic progressive egalitarian democracy.
Unfortunately, George W. Bush and the
Republicans in Congress are dug into our government like a tick on a dog's back. They
control all three branches of our government and they are showing no signs of giving up
their powerful positions. And to make matters worse it appears they have rigged our
election system with the new voting computers that don't generate a paper audit trail.
Votes cannot be recounted and therefore the results of the elections cannot be questioned.
These voting computers are built by several large corporations, like Diebold, that have
shown favoritism towards the Republican party. As a result I believe it will be impossible
to vote these dirty clowns out of office.
If we want
to take our government back from the wealthy elite, and their corrupt whores in the GOP,
we need to take actions outside the voting booth. I recommend we start by boycotting
Bush's supporters and their businesses. (see Boycott List)
Bush's
tenacity, arrogance, and shameless lying wouldn't be so painful to watch if it weren't for
the fact that everything he has done has resulted in one huge disaster after another. And
the fact that he never admits error, accepts responsibility, or submits to accountability
is mind boggling.
But it's all the lies coming from Bush and
the Republicans in Congress that is so harmful to our democratic system of government.
Their lies are not lies about who they sleep with last night, but lies that cost people
their life savings, their jobs, and even their lives. They lie about stuff before it
happens, when it's happening, and after it happens. They even lie about their lies. Where
is their integrity? Where is their honor? Why are they playing us like were all just a
bunch of ignorant punk ass bitches?
Personally,
I'm not going to take this type of treatment from my government leaders, who are suppose
to be working for me, and neither should you. We need to get up off our knees and learn
how to live on our feet, otherwise they will continue to treat us like we are all just a
bunch of sheepish fools as they rob our government and undermine our democracy.

Information
My name is Chris Fick and I was born in
1959 in Kansas City, Missouri. I currently live and work in Frisco, Texas which is a small
but fast growing town just north of Dallas. I'm a mixture of German, Irish, Austrian, and
American Indian blood.
In 1964 my
father, who was an electrical engineer who worked on top secret military projects for
major corporations, got a job at Collins Radio in Dallas, Texas, and I have been living in
the Dallas area ever since.
I
graduated from NTSU and got a degree in business with a major in finance and minor in
accounting. I also took a couple graduate level finance and accounting classes at UTD.
Recently I have taken classes in art, computers, and golf at CCCC in Frisco and Plano.
I have
never been married and I don't have any children. I was engaged to a great girl for almost
two years, but things did not work out. I love children and luckily I have a bunch of
great nieces and nephews from two of my sister's families who I enjoy spending time
around.
My hobbies
include creating art using 3D computer graphics programs, creating music on my mixman,
writing computer programs, reading, and political journalism.
I was
raised in a family that regularly attended a Roman Catholic church, but I have always had
problems believing the bible. I now consider myself a religious independent who is leaning
towards Deism.
Deism is a
religion that believes in God, but does not rely on ancient writings or dead prophets for
answers or guidance. It's more about science, common sense, logic, and the search for
answers through the acquisitions of facts and human experiences.
I enjoy
visiting with family, meeting new people, watching C-SPAN, reading non-fiction, eating at
good restaurants, watching good movies, animals, computers, art projects, writing
articles, and exposing major injustices and the people behind them.
If I could
go back in time and change the way I have lived my life, knowing what I know now, I would.
I would have studied history and law rather than business. And rather than going into
business I would have gone into politics and become a Paul Wellstone liberal Democrat.
But,
unfortunately, time only allows us to travel though life in one direction, forwards, and
our time here on earth is limited, and God probably made it that way for a good reason.
Therefore, I will live with the choices I have made, and I will go forward knowing that
the only sure thing in life is change.
I have set
my sights on making some positive progressive changes in my life, and the lives of the
people around me. I hope some of my articles can help people realize some positive changes
in their lives by forcing our government to be more accountable and compassionate.
My
Motivations
In America we have the right to speak out
about an injustice when we see one, and especially when it is our government that is
committing the injustice.
The
Republican party and the Democratic party are both guilty of betraying the American people
by stealing, lying, looting, and who knows what else. But the Republican party has been
taken over by a bunch of evil greedy paranoid fascist pigs, and they are working overtime
trying to rob our government and undermine our democracy.
Bush and
his pals have been tripping over each other racing to see how fast they can rob our
government and turn our democracy in to a ruthless fascist aristocracy. By creating huge
budget deficits year after year they are pushing our government towards bankruptcy so that
their rich friends can buy up our government's assets for pennies on the dollar. Those
assets belong to us! They loot the Social Security trust fund so they give
their rich friends big tax cuts, corporate welfare, and pork barrel projects up the
ying-yang.
The GOP's
abundant generosity and killer business sense is squeezing the middle class, bankrupting
our government, and concentrating our country's wealth into the hands fewer and fewer
people. This is similar to what the Robber Barons were trying to do before our government
stopped them in 1913 with the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution and a highly
progressive income tax system, including an estate tax.
Unfortunately,
the Robber Barons are back with a vengeance. They learned from their previous mistakes and
this time they are playing for keeps. Therefore, it's up to all of us to get involved to
stop them. I don't think the current government leaders have the virtue to withstand the
highest bidder.
The war in
Iraq is a bloody can of worms Bush and his neocon pals opened up, and now they refuse to
get us out. The son and daughters of the wealthy elite are not fighting and dying in Iraq.
Our soldiers are mostly from lower income families. These young people did not join the
military to travel half way around the world to kill innocent people in a pointless
conflict in Iraq, or anywhere else. They weren't told that our government leaders would
hang targets on their backs and send them into hostile surroundings. These boys and girls
were just looking for a hand up, but instead they are finding themselves face down in the
desert of Iraq bleeding to death because our government has been taken over by a bunch of
liars and thieves.
This
website is designed to educate Americans about the evil people in the Bush administration,
the extremely corrupt Republicans in Congress, and the major issues that are important to
their lives. But it also about motivating Americans to take back their government. And to
teach them how to fight these right wing con-men and their financial backers in a way that
will generate positive results.
After we
take back our government we can bring our solders home, we can restore our progressive tax
laws, environmental regulations, tort laws, social safety nets, freedoms, and our
government's honor and respect throughout the world.
Otherwise,
how are you going to tell your children that you lost their democracy? And especially if
your living in a cardboard box under a bridge.
My
Politics
I currently consider myself an independent
voter, however, in the past I have voted for Republicans, Democrats, Reformers,
Libertarians, Greens, and Independents. I really like Ralph Nader and the Green Party's
platform, but I am a realist, and I don't want to waste my vote, so I usually vote for one
of the two major party candidates.
However, I
will never again vote for another Republican, they are noting but liars and corrupt money
whores; "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".
The
Libertarian Party has some good sounding ideas, but they are financial and economic
suicide for our country. The other political parties and independent candidates have
almost no chance of getting elected in our current system so I don't waste my time with
them.
In America
the government works for the people, at least in legal theory based on constitutional law,
and a big government can provide big benefits and valuable services for all it's people,
if it's run by good people. Good leadership is the key to our country's success and
clearly that is where things have gone wrong, and that is why I got involved, and that is
why you should get involved.
