One Party System; one way or another


So... Tom Delay's gerrymandering in Texas, the Voting Machine company's CEO promising to deliver Ohio in 2004, and his daddy's appointed Supreme Court stopping the vote recount in Florida in 2002 wasn't enough. Even having Attorney General Gonzales fire all those U.S. Attorneys to replace them with politically loyal cronies who will accuse Democrats of vote tampering to guarantee a GOP win in 2008 wasn't enough... Now they're making sure that they can burn down the Reichstag so Bush can activate his version of Hitler's Enabling Act! He says that it is to "ensure constitutional government," but how often has he already violated, ignored, or circumvented the Constitution already?

I'm telling you- call me a nut or a crank if you want to, but what if more people like me would've spoke up in 1930's Germany? PLEASE, Republicans and Democrats alike- don't let this slip by. Write your Senators and Congressmen. Write your newspapers.

When fascism comes to America,
it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
~George. W. Bush (Dec. 18, 2000)

May 22, 2007 12:50pm The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007 declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, George W. Bush can become what is best described as "a dictator":

"The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government."

This directive, completely unnoticed by the media, and given no scrutiny by Congress, literally gives the White House unprecedented dictatorial power over the government and the country, bypassing the US Congress and obliterating the separation of powers. The directive also placed the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic “security”. Read Article

Meanwhile, Congress capitulates to Bush and offers to fund the war after all, U.S. amasses naval fleet in the Persian Gulf, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that if Israel repeats the mistakes made last summer in Lebanon, the region's nations will eradicate her.

I want to say "Come, Lord Jesus," but that's actually what some (heretical) right-wing Christian's think that the Bush foreign policy is intended to do- bring about Armageddon. As if you could force the hand of God! Will someone PLEASE impeach this imbecile!
