Where Bush goes, trouble grows

Wasn't there a song in the '70s called "Where Bush Goes, Trouble Grows"? Or is that like "You Little Teethcoster"?

Today, Bush got a very negative reception on his visit to South Korea. Over 20,000 demonstrators protested the Decider's presence.

The South Korean government's reaction towards the demonstrators was about the same as the Bush regime's would've been if such a large group protested: Authorities unleashed water cannons and hoses against the protesters. (The water cannons were actually ink cannons: The water reportedly contained some sort of marking so the dissidents could be identified later.)

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak (pictured here with Bush) is a Far Right conservative and a strong Bush ally. He took power early this year following another election influenced by the American media, which is always eager to export Bushism (as it has in Canada, Italy, France, and so on). Lee is an unpopular authoritarian who has limited public assemblies, threatened to "get rid of" labor unions, and restricted movement of the citizenry.

In essence, he's the Bush of South Korea.

As an example of Lee Myung-bak's authoritarian rule, his administration detained participants in another event for holding an "illegal rally." What a pro-freedom phrase! (More sarcasm, folks!) This rally followed Lee's efforts to import more American beef. Importing American beef raised concerns in South Korea because the U.S. government had begun suing any farmer who stepped up testing of their cattle for mad cow disease.

It's unclear why the Bush regime sued farmers who were interested in ensuring safe beef, but the lawsuits led people in other countries to lose faith in American beef - which is something America can't afford. But Bush doesn't care.

One of the main goals of Bush's latest South Korean visit is to promote free trade - which is something else that's been a proven loser for Americans.

If something is bad for the country, count on Bush to support it.
