I had meant to respond to Harvey Wasserman's May 5, 2004 "Put George W. Bush
in Prison!!!" column that day, but I would have just made most of the same
comments that follow with possibly a few other observations thrown in for
lagniappe. We will, IMNSHO, soon decide as a nation whether we the people
are to continue the noble experiment in freedom and liberty as our founders
foresaw, at least as they foresaw it for us white guys, whether this
government will hereinafter be of, by, and for the people, or whether this
once-Republic will drift into a corporatist, theological, totalitarian
police state. Going forward we the people will get the government we so
richly deserve unless we the people vote so overwhelmingly against this
regime, this cabal, in November for the election to again be stolen (of
course it's possible, if not likely, than an election will not take place).
Should there be an election, GWB will likely receive more than 40% of the
vote no matter should all the highly suspected high crimes and misdemeanors,
all the suspected unconstitutional and illegal acts, including an aggressive
war lacking UN sanction, and all the suspected breachs of oath of office
through failure to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States be laid out in full detail beyond any reasonable doubt to
every American of voting age and: if GWB does receive 40% of the vote, the
election can likely again be stolen. What is really sad is how sick, how
twisted, how ignorant and indifferent, how deluded, and how corrupt our
society has become in numbers far too large to imagine: whether this
generation of Americans even deserves the fruits of their heritage, the
fruits of a constitutional government in which liberty and freedom flourish,
considering what has happened in the last three-plus years, remains to be
seen. I speak as an 11th-generation person to these shores who wonders
whether or not his 14th-generation gggrandson will grow up in a Republic
with the full and original Bill of Rights still intact.
All this has all transpired, IMNSHO, because almost every Republican in the Congress and on the Supreme Court and almost every Republican who owns/controls major mainstream media outlets seem to feel that their Republican President should be handed a blank check to do what ever he wants, get whatever he asks for, no matter how unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, unjust, or inhumane; no matter how disastrous and ruinous to the environment, to international relationships, laws, and institutions, to the fiscal intergity of the Federal government, its willingness and ability to meet future commitments and obligations; no matter how much they must abrogate their sworn oaths of office, their duties otherwise; no matter how much they abrogate their constitutional perogatives and responsibilities for they surely seemingly love their far-hard-right ideology and PNAC vision far more than they love their country, our nation, this Republic, its Constitution. These are solely the opinions of the writer who hopes for the good of our nation that he is totally wrong in everthing not heretofore established in fact.
