Larisa Alexandrovna (Huffington Post): Tomorrow is Zero Hour

Tomorrow is Zero Hour
By Larisa Alexandrovna

The Bush cabal uses 911 so brazenly and so often to skirt oversight and play outside the boundaries of the law that one has to wonder if the tragedy holds any real meaning for them at all. Think about it, if your child died, would you play on that death to get a promotion at work?

Then how could roughly 3 thousand deaths be used for political shenanigans of the sort this administration indulges in? That, I suppose, is a moral question that cannot be answered by anyone on the outside and is probably never even considered by anyone on the inside of this administration.

For this brand of compassionate conservatives, humility, moral courage, and especially truth have no place. Power is the absolute and singular currency for the people who cavort in this tiny bubble of criminal privilege.

The Bush/Cheney cabal continues to build and enlarge their all-powerful, Soviet-like government - all built on the false premise that "911 changed everything." The heartless repetition of that slogan has enabled them to replace a Democracy with a near-authoritarian state in five short years while the rest of us were busy grieving.
