Front group associated with Cheney calls for Bush to be dictator... for life...

Buckle up kiddies. I am cranky and this is not making things better:

Family Security Matters a neo-conservative based think tank has published an article advocating that George W. Bush should be a dictator for life. The organization has since taken the article down, but is still viewable via this cached link.

Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy: By Philip Atkinson

The article written by Philip Atkinson states that Bush would fail his country by becoming an ex-President or can achieve greatness by becoming President-for-Life Bush in order to bring sense to Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Atkinson is bluntly advocating that Bush should become dictator for life with these outrageously anti-American statements.

From the article:

President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.

Panicked and delusional...not a good mix.

10. thanks for that link

Looks to me like the internet may already be controlled by those wanting to controll everything. Why would anyone want to go to live in Iraq after so many depleated uranium bombs have been dropped there. Could the place ever be cleaned up?

4. Now even the cached version of the original article is gone

That was fast.

Even Google is co-opted now.

8. Dammit!

Well not having been allowed to read it myself.... (weird!!!!)

I must say that the general sentiment doesn't surprise me.

If his approval rating wasn't 20% I'd bet they'd try for it. Now I doubt it. If he was at 60% surely they would attempt a "dissolution of our wayward Congress", but now I think there would be revolt.

11. Egads. Neocons are a freaky breed.

Haven't changed since poppy's days though eh? Still hoping for their Nazi government I see. And using the Roman analogy just like the Nazis. How appropriate.

12. Oh, yeah, this is a swell idea.

If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege while terrifying American enemies.

He could then follow Caesar's example and use his newfound popularity with the military to wield military power to become the first permanent president of America, and end the civil chaos caused by the continually squabbling Congress and the out-of-control Supreme Court.

I propose that we send Philip Atkinson to Iraq right now. He's obviously got way too much time on his hands.
