A recent poll by CNN discovered that our illustrious VP Dick Cheney has gained the dubious honor of being the most disliked VP ever! The Midwest Voices out of Kansas City screams out the headline Good riddance to Dick Cheney. Pretty much that seems to be the general sentiment.
The question becomes, why is he so disliked? Well obviously his boss has something to do with it. George Bush’s legacy includes 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a melt down in our banking and mortgage system, and now the possibility that buying an American car may be something that our children will only be able to read about in history books.
Cheney may not have the public exposure that his boss has had, but make no mistake, Cheney has been without doubt an important tool in the Orwellination of America. George Orwell must be Cheney’s favorite author and mentor. 9/11 was a terrible day. Over 3000 innocent people lost their lives. Yet this proved to be the spring board that Cheney required.
A splendid description of our decay into George Orwells hideous world of 1984 is most eloquently documented in Terry Turchie and Kathleen Puckett’s 2008 book Homeland Insecurity. They open their chapter on Cheney with:
Vice President Dick Cheney could be the “Godfather” for secrecy in government.
Indeed his is exactly that. Warrantless wire taps, Homeland Security, the war in Iraq, these all have Cheney at their very roots. It likely will be many years before the FOIA permits us to peek into his exact involvement, but when those documents are released the historians will have a field day. His political career stretches back to 1969 and the Nixon era. With a mentor like that, I guess we should not be at all surprised as to how he has developed?
One can only hope that the incoming Obama government will reveal, and maybe more importantly repeal many of the Cheney changes.

WORLDWIDE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO SCANDALS:
(I) I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed atrocious, racist, hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention. Many people know what Bush did. And many people will know what Bush did—even until the end of the world. Bush was absolute evil. Bush is now like a fugitive from justice. In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
(II) It is opined that Bill Clinton committed terrifying, racist, hate crimes during his presidency, and I am not free to say anything further about it. ‘Be sure your sins will find you out’ (Numbers 32:23).
(III) What if basically all racial-minority people would subscribe to the interpretations that George Herbert Walker Bush committed monstrous, racist, hate crimes while he was the President of the United States? It will eventually come out: it is only a matter of time.
(IV) I know it may be hard to believe. However, Ronald Wilson Reagan committed horrible, racist, hate crimes during his presidency.
