Talk about tolerating the intolerable! |
|
If George Bush breaks the law with illegal wiretaps - we find out he has the "inherent" right of the Presidency to do this. If he lies baldfacedly about finding and firing leaker's and then we find out he has ordered and condoned the leaking, we are told "it's in the public interest". If Bush and/or Cheney lied to the prosecutor, I'm sure that will be to protect national security and will also be an inherent right of the Executive Branch. They also don't have to follow any established or written procedures to declassify information and they can also do it retroactively and rewrite history and law as they do so.
So, get it through your heads - we do NOT have the so-called Rule of Law, we do NOT have an enforceable Constitution, we do NOT have representation of the people in the Congress, we do NOT have a free and unfettered press that speaks the truth. In six short years Bush and Cheney along with the complicit lapdogs of the press and Congress have dismantled a democracy that had endured into it's third century.
We can look forward to more war, the further erosion of our civil rights, the further dispersal of our common treasure to the hands of a few, the disappearance of the middle-class, and the further strengthening of the Divine Right Of Kings. Get over it.

1. Exactly. Why get upset? It's just business. Nothing personal. |

3. I expect passion, conviction and courage from my representatives |

At this point, this is literally a fight to save our country as we know it. I think now that all this has come out about the leaking in the Plame case coming directing at the behest of the White House, censure is far too moderate.

6. We can look forward to... |

....another stolen election.
How did they get power, anyway? You have to ask yourself that. Do you think they honestly got themselves elected?
