Undermining the Constitution: Bush is at it again
A. Alexander, July 29th, 2007

Mister Bush is at it again. That is to say, the man whose Attorney General perjures himself before Congress on a regular and ongoing basis; the man whose administration falsified the evidence so that he could invade Iraq; the man whose White House won't allow scientists to release lifesaving information that isn't in agreement with their ideology; the cabal that, in the event of another "terror attack" or natural disaster, has written a de facto plan to declare martial law and usurp total power and, regardless of the obviously dangerous implications of such a scheme, won't allow Congress to review that plan; the Commander in Chief, such as he is, who so easily sent nearly 4,000 members of the military to their senseless deaths, and sentenced an additional 26,000 to a lifetime of missing their arm, or leg, or hearing, or eyesight, or mental stability; the very same character that ordered the "Justice Department" to file false charges against Democrats, and fired every attorney who refused; the President who has, since the Twin Towers fell, illegally spied upon innocent U.S. citizens and made it legal for the FBI to enter homes without warrant or warning ... that man, Mister Bush, is pretending to be concerned about the wellbeing, safety, security, and "freedom and liberty" of the American people. That is to say, George W. Bush is demanding that Congress rewrite the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), so that the U.S. government can more easily spy, not on terrorists, but rather on innocent Americans.

Yes, Mister Twenty-Something-Percent Approval -- he, who so easily defies the Will of and stands in utter contempt of the American people -- is again, as always, practically promising a vicious and disastrous terror attack on every little boy and girl in America, unless Congress acquiesces and agrees to complete the destruction of the nation's Constitution. Perhaps, Mister Bush and his administration will forgive "We the People," for not wishing to surrender more of our rights and liberties and freedoms and dignity. Maybe the President and Dick Cheney will understand the reluctance on behalf of "We the People," to again place our trust in an administration that stands in blatant contempt of everything that the United States of America is supposed to represent.

However, whether or not Mister Bush and his cabal, especially Dick Cheney, are capable of empathizing with "We the People," it just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because, if these past six-plus years have taught "We the People" anything, it has taught us that America can survive terrorist attacks, but it can't long survive the threat posed by the extremist ideology espoused and practiced by the likes of the Bush administration and today's radicalized Republican Party.

So, yes, Mister Bush is at it again. He is using fear of terrorism as the means to further undermine the United States of America and Her Constitution. Let's hope that "We the People," refuse to surrender to him ... again.
