Let’s be Clear About Something…
Posted by Mark under politics , rant , main stream media , Dick Cheney , President Bush , Alberto Gonzales , CongressMy frustration, anger and outrage over what I see our current Administration doing has led me to lash out. To do some name calling. Some lambasting. Some ranting and raving. Well, I’m through, finished. It isn’t working.
At this point in time I’m wanting only one thing from the President, Vice-President and Attorney General– their resignations. I want them to walk out of their offices, hat in hand.
I’m not willing anymore to hurt myself by concurrently harboring rage and hopelessness. Or subject my friends to being near me during a rant, alientaing them whilst they scratch their heads wondering what all the fuss is about.
Hating these people won’t help. Whether it be a very, very, bad acting executive branch, or a legislative branch frozen with deer-in-headlights fear that inhibits some “right” action. Name calling, accusations, counter-punches and innuendo do not move us toward a better tomorrow. No matter where these true evils come from or are directed at.
The truth is I don’t trust our media to provide accurate, uncensored information for me as a citizen to make sound judgements about the efficacy of our government’s actions, or to even be able to confirm the accuracy of world events or the veracity of public official’s statements.
The truth is I don’t trust the Bush Adminstration from top to bottom. Their lack of accountability through the use of executive privilege to avoid transparency, the politicization of nearly everything, the wire taps, fired attorneys, Iraq rationalizations, dismal katrina response, and continuous assertions about Hussein and Al Qaeda that evidence strongly refutes, leaves me wholly bankrupt of any faith in their integrity.
The truth is I don’t trust Congress anymore either. While they fiddle, Rome burns. They want to move carefully. They are being careful all right, trying to put out a raging fire with a squirt gun. Our country is burning. What shall they do to save it? Seek a Special Prosecutor to investigate Mr. Gonzales? Squirt.
So let’s be clear about something. I not willing to hate Mr. Bush or any of our government officials for one more second. However, I do want to stop them from bringing ruin to this country or at least long term damage to the Constitution of the United States. Impeachment is the only and rightful remedy for the Constitutional crisis that the Bush Administration has created.
We all agree– we want a secure country with access to lots and lots of cheap oil that enables our luxurious american lifestyle. But not like this. Not like this.
Will you act? Will you call Congress and tell them they are failing their Constitutional duty to enforce checks and balances by impeaching the President and Vice President?
I have, I do and I will.
