It isn't God Bless America anymore, but God Save Her...

...The new America is a land of powerful frauds who still know the language of democracy and the pull of patriotism but have long since stopped living their realities. Patriotism has become a tool rather than a creed. In a perverse inversion of the patriotism of JFK; these people don't sacrifice for their country, but rather sacrifice their country for their own gain. The list of national betrayal by America's elites grows longer by the day and who can deny it?

Corporate America talks social justice and practises the ethics of utter rapacity, from Ken Lay to Bernie Evers. Martha Stewart, America's jailbird, exudes family values but behaves like any other tawdry corporate insider when money is at stake.

Religious America purports to champion life, then ignores that absolute value everywhere else in the world, while denouncing the country's judiciary for fulfilling its constitutional obligations on behalf of a brain-damaged woman it found did not want that assistance on 21 separate occasions.

Strange as it may seem, Terri Schiavo's lasting legacy may be that she was the person who chronicled even better than the Iraq war the decline of the American Republic from the land of Bendix to the world of Bush. President Bush's emergency legislation to save Terri Schiavo was unconstitutional. As Bush appointee, Mr. Justice Stanley Birch of the 11th Circuit court in Atlanta put it, "the legislative and executive branches of our government ... have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people -- the Constitution."

But a thin glass shield borders her nation and ours and he should not throw stones.
The goverment corruption being uncovered in her country and he is worried about us?!
She has balls.

"the legislative and executive branches of our government ... have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people -- the Constitution."

It basically says, in a legal way, these people are traitors to the Constitution. And the press and media hardly mentioned it.

....mentality gripping America. Damn the Law! We want revenge!

Thank Gawd for the judiciary branch. The two other branches are occupied by amateur statesmen and political hacks; at least the judiciary, for now, has retained it's professional qualities.

this quote from the article - "Corporate America talks social justice and practises the ethics of utter rapacity, from Ken Lay to Bernie Evers." - resonates with me as of yesterday. I am more convinced that the Democratic Party is a charade. I think it is a part of the dis-reality of everything that is going on. Both parties are for the corporations. It is becoming as clear as a bell. We've been duped. No wonder they didn't do more to protect our vote. They don't care.

With all due respect to the few Dems who consistenly vote AMERICAN. All the other Dems VOTE CORPORATION. Voting CORPORATION, instead of AMERICAN, means AGAINST THE PEOPLE.

I don't think I need any more proof. We've been had.

What happened yesterday? The bankruptcy bill. What happened last week - a pass on Negroponte...what's going to happen next week - a pass on Bolton - what happened the week before - a set up Committee to look at WMD...the week before that...allowing people to get away with threats on Judges. How far back can we go? There is NO ONE representing the people. We pay to have them betray us.
