The US is in Serious Trouble - We Can't Ignore It

Today is the day that I take off my gloves and say what I have wanted to say for a long time, but haven’t because of some silly notion that I didn’t want to sink to the depths that other people have. I don’t care anymore. If you have delicate sensibilities, don’t read past this point. You might see something that will bother you, and I just wanted to say I warned you.

 

First of all, I have no respect for any of these politicians that say they believe that God created Adam and Eve and he created this world in seven days. If you are a politician that believes in the creationist theory, than you are either stupid, too stupid to hold office, or you are a liar, and you are lying to get stupid Christians that believe that to vote for you. In both cases, you are not qualified to hold political office. You should resign.

 

Anyone that believe that we are fighting them there so we won’t fight them here should also either go back to school and pay attention this time, or stop and think of what you are saying. Fighting them there had absolutely nothing to do with fighting them here. That entire line of reasoning is flawed. If they want to attack us here they can whether or not we fight them there. In fact, many people that want to attack us aren’t even “there”, they are somewhere else. That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard anyone say. If you believe that, then you are stupid too. Sorry, but someone has to give you the message.

 

Bush and Cheney don’t give a goddamn sh*t about this country or anyone in it except the people that pay them. I’m not talking about the lousy salary they get for being in office. I’m talking about all the money that is given to them under the table from Halliburton, Blackwater and the Oil Companies and all the others making a fortune off the death and destruction going on in Iraq. I guarantee that Bush and Cheney have never cared about bringing freedom to the Iraqi people. If you believe that, you should get a check-up from the neck-up.

 

I believe that anyone that is blocking the impeachment of the President and the Vice-President should be charged for obstruction of justice. When it gets to the point when political interests outweigh moral interests, then these people should no longer be holding public office. There shouldn’t even be an argument about holding impeachment proceedings against these people. I am going to put my money where my mouth is, stay tuned. Meanwhile I will now paste an excerpt from a commenter (Sabresong) from my blog liberalpro:

“anonymous said...
What I'd like someone to do is to verify, establish point blank, what crimes have been committed.”

“An excellent request. It's taken me some time to separate the proven crimes from the conspiracy theories, and I'm still working on it. I'll post it on my own blog at www.eledanthe.com/news once it's finished.

until then, the following list is taken directly from the proposed articles of impeachment, calling for the impeachment of G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney:

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.
