RP: The End Is Coming

[CrackpotAmerica]

I posted this back in August: How is it holding up?

With Mrs. Sheehan on the steps at Versailles, Americans are quickly rallying to her cause (or against it.) Her message is clear, she wants answers and wants them now. It is unlikely that she will receive her answer. For, if she were to receive her long deserved reparations, the entire administration would be forced to uncover many truths to all of us, which is obviously an impossibility as it would cause the institutional and political demise of a large and powerful constituency; one that reaches the very nexus of the conservative political structure.

What we must realize is that Mrs. Sheehan has placed this administration in an inescapable situation. As each day passes, more and more people want answers. The answers they demand go beyond a moral issue of his "noble cause." They encroach on every tangible action that this President, his administration, and his party have taken. It is only a matter of time before we, in the greater public and of all parties, demand our representative government to investigate current issues and revisit past investigations, overturning every stone to discover any criminal acts, however great or small. It is an unavoidable problem for this administration and they are fully aware of it.

The second element of the "last throes" of this administration is the subdued, but not buried investigation into the Valerie Plame leak. Mr. Fitzgerald will return his case very soon. I am confident that there will be indictments, and they will reach high places, possibly the President himself.

And so, the end is drawing nearer as each moment passes. It is a factual inevitability. There is no single entity within the American structure that is immune to the rule of law. Mathematically, it is like a bell curve. There are statistical periods of success; but eventually, there will be a decay of the event until it ultimately reaches its collapse, thus beginning a new cycle.

Adversely, let us suppose for a moment that this opinion proves wrong. Suppose that Mrs. Sheehan is answered and satisfied with her answer. Suppose Mr. Fitzgerald returns no indictments. Suppose the House and Senate resist the request by their voters to investigate into perjuries and illegal deceit to their committees and bring no charges nor petitions for impeachment. Where will the President be? Will he claim victory? Will he be an effective leader? The answer is most assuredly no.

The President has lost already. There will be no act or measure for the duration of his Presidency that will be free of scrutiny or opposition. Both sides know this. For example, the President was sure to sign both the energy and transportation bill as quickly as he possibly could. Further, he has recess appointed the most contentious man ever to step foot into the United Nations since Khruschev. He may hold the office, but he is finished and everyone knows it.

Mr. Mehlman knows it. He has decided to ignore any current concerns on his GOP website, opting to fill his headlines with "in case you missed it," slants on members of the Democratic party. Further, he is more than likely busy pondering how he can justify his organization's decision to pay over $722,000 to help James Tobin's legal woes.

All of the above is swiftly binding up into a snowball that will lead to a great avalanche. As we can see, they are caught completely unprepared for it. Their only method is to scramble and adhere to the same tactics of murk and unbearable repetition that has brought them this far. Unfortunately, it is too late. Consequence is unavoidable. Reality cannot be ignored for more than just a little while.

So, where does that leave all of us? What plans should we draw? The Democratic Party has been criticized relentlessly for "having no message." Might I suggest that our message be to reverse every possible policy of this "dying king?" We must not wait to begin collecting our spoils. For, they are the very spoils that have been pillaged from us over the past six years. Let us all fight from this day forward to explore a universal and successful withdrawal from Iraq. Let us diligently pursue criminal indictments for all whom have served to perpetuate the lies that had placed these noble men and women there in the first place. Let us repeal the USA PATRIOT ACT and take the time to explore a beneficial plan that does not rob us of our civil rights (nor has to be distributed in the middle of the night to avoid debate.) Let us recapture our individual stake in our political structure. Let us prosecute all whom have taken action to defraud us from our vote.

Rest assured, my friends. The end is near for this President. Let us be ready.

4. pour a stiff antithesis

This opinion is the antidote to the doomsday scenario being layed out on another recent thread.
The moron president's "major speech" yesterday was a desperate rattle from a completely out-of-touch administration. Although the Daily Kos thread is entirely plausible - frighteningly so - we must have faith as Americans that sanity and justice will prevail. The alternative IS the doomsday scenario. Which did you prefer?

5. I read that post. . .

The only way I can maintain my sanity is by following these words:

With such sorrow and hopelessness, our only escape must be forged with optimism.

6. A cornered nutcase with nuclear footballs, is a fairly dangerous

animal. Thanks to the masses of ignorant voters in the USA and to the crooked self serving politicians from the grass roots level up to Washington, America MUST PAY NOW, in blood and money! That's why America is today bankrupt, in almost every possible sense of the word. We the people, have been doing ALL the PAYING, for the last five years, in EVERY sense of the word! The Haves and the Have Mores have stolen and drained democracy and freedom, until there is nothing left here in our country, of democracy and freedom, but empty shells. Bush has turned our Liberty, Freedom and Democracy, into nothing but empty, meaningless, words.

7. except and unless an

an exceptional event occurs and martial law is declared and posse comitatus is absent and the shit hits the fan.

I would love to believe an optimistic picture but simply cannot as of yet. And I do not believe a good number of dem are not corporatists themselves and it will be as Pink Floyd said:

In with the new boss..... same as the old boss.....
