  • Impeach Bush: Our President is officially out of control.
    23 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    After considering his latest TV performance in defending his latest scandal, I write today to sound the alarm that our President is officially out of control. Though I had not considered it a serious possibility, after reflecting on it I agree with those who say it is time to get rolling with our impeachment option.
    This is not about Bush’s stalwart though factually weak defense of the truly out of control spying on Americans. This is about the "tact" that they decided to use and the fact (…)

  • Impeach the Liar-in-Chief
    23 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The generation of American leaders who fought the American Revolution and crafted the United States Constitution examined the most important issues of government. They considered (1) war and peace, (2 ) the limits to government power vs. individual liberties, (3) how officeholders should be controlled by the citizenry and (4) the raising and management of public money. That generation devised impeachment to remove tyrants and corrupt officeholders from positions of public power based on (…)

  • Bush’s abuse of power deserves impeachment

    Bush’s abuse of power deserves impeachment With latest outrages, Bush puts impeachment talk into the mainstream
    Recklessly and audaciously, George W. Bush is driving the nation whose laws he swore to uphold into a constitutional crisis. He has claimed the powers of a medieval monarch and defied the other two branches of government to deny him. Eventually, despite his party’s monopoly of power, he may force the nation to choose between his continuing degradation of basic national values and (…)

  • The 12 Days of Neocon Christmas
    23 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Since we’re well into holiday season, I thought it would be nice to remind all Americans what the great neocon administration of George Bush and his buddies are providing to Americans.
    I have to admit, this was an easy one, in that there are so many different areas in which to satirize the worst President and administration in American history.
    Here goes (the parts in parenthesis are not sung):
    On the first day of Christmas, my Neocon gave to me:
    A dictator in a sipder hole (Saddam (…)

    Is Bush using warrant-less spying as a pretext to monitor U.S. “enemies” list?
    WASHINGTON-December 22, 2005-TomFlocco.com-There is evidence that President Bush’s executive order authorizing eavesdropping on phone conversations of U.S. citizens, monitoring email and gaining access to private computers while failing to follow the law requiring court-ordered warrants may amount to criminal activity.

    As a Federal Judge Resigns to Protest Secret Bush Wiretaps, Leaders of Both Parties Express Serious Concerns Over Legality of President’s Covert Domestic Spying Program Date Published: December 22, 2005 Source: Newsinferno News Staff
    On December 15, after sitting on the story for a year, The New York Times published a report entitled, “Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts.” In a country founded upon such ideals as, “Give me liberty, or give me death,” the reaction was swift and (…)

    “Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.” - Cicero (1)
    The Roman masses finally figured out that their highly eccentric Emperor, Caligula, was a raving lunatic when it was revealed that he was having lavish dinner parties in honor of his favorite horse and that he had even considered making it a Consul! Caligula’s reported incestuous relationships with his sisters was bad enough for them to stomach; the “horse thing,” however, became the tipping point. (2) (…)

  • Bush’s Impeachable Offense
    22 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    On Tuesday, Dec. 20, Washington Post polling editor Richard Morin participated in an online chat with readers. The liberal blog MyDD urged its users to take part, and evidently they did. In previous days, legal experts had declared that Bush had committed a federal crime by authorizing the surveillance of American citizens without a court order, and Morin was grilled about the issue of impeachment.
    First, someone from Naperville, Ill., asked Morin why the Post hasn’t polled on public (…)

    Bush’s Slippery Slope Leads To A Police State, Plain And Simple
    (Dec. 21, 2005, Ed. Note: It is a sad state of affairs to have the President of the United States admit to the nation and to the world that he is spying on the citizens he is elected to safeguard.
    It is worse to have the President aggressively justify his “big brother” politics in the name of an ill-begotten, counter-productive war on terrorism (…)

  • George W. Bush’s Impeachable Offenses
    22 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Several recent presidents could have been impeached for selected unconstitutional or illegal actions during their presidencies. But the sitting president, George W. Bush, may win the prize for committing the most impeachable offenses of any recent president.
    Yet when one thinks of bad behavior leading down the road to possible impeachment, Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon come to mind first. Although Bill Clinton was impeached for having sex with an intern and then lying about it to a grand (…)
