That is, America will continue to reproduce children of peoples who cannot even admit that the country is in a recession, let alone that their leaders have led them astray.

 

Until these supporters are isolated and made to atone for the sins or crimes they have supported, i.e. waging a war against the U.S. economy and waging a war on the previous good-face of American image overseas, America will not be able to move on.

 

In 2008, Americans need to clean both the House and Senate of such peoples and politicians.  (This is why I am running a humble on-line campaign against Republican Senator  Pat Roberts in Kansas). 

 

These people must turn from their ways or be pointed to the door—or taken to court for lying to their constituency and costing taxpayers their homes and tax moneys for so many years to come.

 

George W. Bush as “denier in chief” needs to be the first to be asked to resign from office.  At the same moment, Dick Cheney must do the same.  These two men held none of their underlings or themselves accountable for their crimes for far too long.  This fear of taking responsibility for ones crimes and misdeeds must be ended or America will continue its spin into mediocrity and productivity in the 21st Century.

 

Congressmen and Congress-women who have not sought to impeach or oust such leadership need to be kicked out.  We need to have the strength of the peoples of Indonesia and the Philippines who kicked out their corrupt leaders over the past two decades.  Moreover, we need to do better than they did in clearing the House and Senate of the cronies who supported such autocrats.

 

As well, as a Christian-oriented nation, we can ask them and their families of friends to admit their guilt and complicity in crimes and national disasters.

 

Finally, with Atonement somewhere out-there in the future, we can possibly prepare to  forgive these individuals and offer them  the chance to reincorporate themselves in our society more effectively in the coming decades.

 

However, unlike in Indonesia, where the rule-of-law has historically often fallen short, Americans need to expect some justice and reimbursement (or penal time) for those involved in misusing power and American tax monies for far too long.
