HOW TO BE A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN
22 07 2006If you want to be a law-abiding citizen, here are a few helpful tips:
1. Never talk ill, criticize or oppose the actions of President Arroyo. Praise her if need be.
2. Forget about Garci and the Garci tapes. He’s just a former Comelec official caught on tape having conversations with a woman whose voice sounded like that of Mrs. Arroyo. Nah, their discussions merely centered on how to manipulate the will of the electorate. No big deal. After all, everyone cheats during elections.
3. Be careful not to irritate the Justice Secretary unless you’re prepared to be suspected as a destabilizer.
4. Don’t get disgusted at the fertilizer funds scam. It’s just a meager 2.8 billion pesos allegedly used to reward politicians who supported the Administration in its bid to win in the elections at all cost. After all, Jocelyn Bolante is now in the U.S. enjoying his refuge at the San Pedro Detention Center in California.
5. Don’t support the personalities and groups out to challenge Mrs. Arroyo. Truth and accountability are no longer important these days. Besides, to borrow the words of Bong Austero, the opposition is merely a bunch of power hungry fools.
6. Don’t attend anti-Arroyo rallies or wear Patalsikin Na, Now Na! t-shirts or else Gen. Querol will not hesitate to arrest you for violating BP 880, unless of course you delight seeing yourself beaten black and blue by truncheon-wielding policemen.
7. Sign the People’s Initiative of the Sigaw ng Bayan (a.k.a. Bulong ng Malacañang). Visit their website and be counted as one of its 9 million visitors.
8. Don’t support the impeachment. It’s a waste of precious time for your Congressman. Better write a letter to Tita Cory and post it in your blog if you have one.
9. If you’re a Catholic Bishop, befriend the Palace. Don’t imitate Bishops Cruz, Iñiguez and Tobias. They’re too meddlesome. But next time, please don’t accept cash “gifts” below 20,000 pesos. They’re too small compared to the millions the Congressmen received in last year’s impeachment.
10. Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. Be indifferent and apathetic. Move on. Just imagine yourself living in Gloria’s enchanted kingdom.
re number 1: kung ano ang sinabi ng presidente, yun ang katotohanan. walang classroom shortage, period.
re number 6: don’t heckle gma. you will be sued by the police.
kapag mabuti kang citizen, hindi ka lang pupurihin, kukunin ka pang columnist sa isang broadsheet.
re number 1: haha, kaya ang laki ng galit nya kay fe hidalgo nang sabihin ng huli ang totoong sitwasyon. ayan tuloy, si jesli lapus ang na appoint.
re number 6: takot lang talaga sa mga mamamayan hindi nanalo sa eleksyon
oo nga, mag sulat lang ng animo’y “open” letter, naging columnist na.
ABOUT THE SONA AND ISRAEL’ SOVEREIGNTY
Glo Arroyo’s SONA last July 24 was merely a speech of lies. The Filipino people are tired of listening to lies from a president who still is hiding from her political immunity from suits regarding the huge accusations that she cheated the year 2004 presidential election. Even if I will do it alone in the streets, I would still peacefully and legally ask Glo Arroyo to resign from the presidency. Her presidency is nothing but a manipulation of the democratic institutions in the Philippines. I would rather act in a righteous way, that is peacefully and legally asking Mrs. Arroyo to resign from her illegal presidency, than let despostism reign with ease in my country without doing something about such tyranny. I would peacefully and lawfully struggle for real and moral democracy in the Philippines, so that future generations in the Philippines would have a truly stable and working democracy.
ABOUT ISRAEL’S SOVEREIGNTY
The problem that sparks Middle East conflicts is not Zionism. The problem is the despotic social system that dominates almost all of the Muslim countries in the Middle East region. Zionism is merely an expression of the Biblical, empirical and rational truth that Israel belongs to the descendants of the ancient Hebrews. The ancient Hebrews’ homeland was Israel. The ancient Hebrews contributed to the general global civilization that modern humanity have today. The descendants of the ancient Hebrews have a legitimate and valid claim to return to their ancestral homeland. Archaelogical evidences can prove that Israel was the original homeland of the ancient Hebrews before they migrated to Egypt. Israel was the Promised Land for the ancient Hebrews and their descendants. Israel’s right to exist as a nation is a valid one. The Middle East region needs peaceful and lawful democratization process. Israel, the U.S.A. and UK must support the peaceful and lawful democratization of the Middle East region. The Israeli nation should not be threatened by any form of aggression from despotic states in the Middle East region. The terrorist groups, which are manipulated and controlled by despotic regimes in the Middle East region, that are threatening to destroy Israel’s right to exist as a nation should all be arrested and disarmed by the United Nations’ Organization. Israel has the right to exist as a nation in this world. The U.N. Organization, the U.S.A. and the UK should uphold the right of Israel to exist as a nation.
Peacefully and legally campaign for real, global and moral democracy! Support political abrogationism now!
The Bystander,
I’m impressed with your rebuttal over at MLQ3’s blog.
Very judicious and highly effective too.
Congratulations. I wish there were more people like you among the anti-Gloria population.
Rummel,
I am one with you in your opposition to Gloria’s SONA. They are all pure lies.
As regards the Hezbollah-Israel conflict, while I recognize the right of Israel to exist as a nation, I equally recognize the right of Lebanon and its people to exist and leave peacefully in their sovereign territory. If the people of Israel continue to wreak havoc on innocent civilians, then they are no different from the Hezbollah terrorists they want to exterminate. This unlawful, illegal aggression into the territory of a sovereign country must stop. NOW.
Hillblogger/Ana,
Thank you.
While it is so easy for these people to take offense against us for strongly criticizing their favorite “Madam”, they do not seem to notice her clearly immoral and criminal acts. Just shows how hypocrite these people are. Sorry for the term.
Great counterpunching. That should teach those asslickers a thing or two. I enjoyed your interpellations. And we all thought you’re just a simple Bystander.
Haha.. Thanks for the compliment Schumey. In all humility, it should not only be me but all of us — you, Anna, MB, karl and many others — who seek the truth and demand accountability — should be commended.
Just add another:
Don’t do or try to catch little gloria’s attention. Then you will be a law-abiding citizen no matter what you actually do.
