Impeachment?

Hey hey
Ho Ho.
Now’s the time,
For George Bush to go!

Say it with me now…

Hey hey
Ho Ho.
Now’s the time,
For George Bush to go!

When is enough enough?
When will the mainstream media finally say what needs to be said.

This administration has failed.
It has engaged in illegal activity.
It has betrayed the trust of those who supported it. (Yours truly was a very vocal supporter in 2000 and in 2004)

Hey hey
Ho Ho.
Now’s the time,
For George Bush to go!

The reason nobody wants to say it?
Because its hard.
It would take a lot of work to write an article, a credible article, that would adaquately detail why its time for impeachment.

But here’s a few places to start:

Yes, there is an election happening in two years.
Yes, George Bush et al will be gone..
However, an impeachment would be a potent political move.
First it would actually prove that the Democrats have something resembling hutzpah.

I mean, seriously… do democrats even exist? Frankly I’m not so sure anymore.

Secondly, it would say… Americans are not going to put up with this anymore.
We aren’t just going to sit by while our country is hijacked by a group of people with their own nefarious interests.

Thirdly, such a move would need tremendous popular support.
While very few Americans any longer support the Bush administration,
The leap to impeachment would surely be a hard, and unpopular sell.

But if a man can be impeached for a little worktime titillation,
Surely another man can be impeached for murder, extortion etc etc…

Write your congressman today.
Tell her your tired and sick of it all.
Tell her:

Hey hey
Ho Ho.
Now’s the time,
For George Bush to go!

Don’t even think of sending me your huddled masses..

I'm curious. What exactly is the National Guard going to do? Are they going to shoot and kill the poor Mexican who has just spent two days hiking through the desert, without food or water desperate to enter America? The man who has absolutely nothing, is willing to take his own life into his hands to come to a land of promise and opportunity. And then what?

Sounds a lot like East Germany, doesn't it?

The American economy is thriving.. Or at least that's what they keep telling us. In fact, the American economy absolutely depends on the work of illegal immigration. Nobody else is going to do the job the majority of these people do at the wage they do it.  Oh sure we want the low prices, we don't mind shopping at Wal-Mart, but just don't tell us why the production costs are so cheap.

The sense of entitlement the western world has is mind boggling.  I think it's particularly poignant in the States, but its a mindset that affects the entire Western World. If Americans appreciated America as much as these immigrants did, maybe it'd be a better place to live.  At least they're willing sacrifice something for it. 

How Bush Gets His Groove Back

*Lets take a trip to Fantasyland and imagine what could be…*

Imagine Bush gets on TV tomorrow. Your favorite primetime reality show is briefly interrupted for this important word from the Oval Office. The Camera pans in, and you watch as the familiar face of your American president comes into focus. At first, you sigh, getting ready to change the channel, when suddenly, you stop, something keeps you interested.. you notice a sincerity about him you haven't seen before.

And then he speaks. His tone confident, his eyes honest and his gaze unwavering. The President begins to share a part of himself with the American people. Not the scripted words of someone else removing every scrap of humanity from the man on the screen, but rather, the truth, spoken by a man, a leader seeking only the best for those he leads.

He begins to share his sincere beliefs in the build up to war.  He tells us of his honest convictions of the Iraqi threat and the need of American intervention.  And then, with a pause, he admits he was wrong.  He admits that diplomacy could have been a viable option.  He admits that Iraq never had the means, or even really the desire to inflict direct harm upon the American people. 

Tears begin to well up in the eyes of a man who truly fears God.  He pauses once more and shares his daily pain at the loss of both American and Iraqi life to which he feels directly responsible.  And yet, he also affirms his pride in every soldier, admitting that while war, perhaps, was not necessary, an evil dictator, a man responsible for genocide, and for mass murder has been vanquished and dethroned. For this alone, our soliders and their families can be proud.

This George Bush, a man willing to admit mistake, is also willing to lead and give direction.  He reveals his vision for Iraq and his plan for the future. However, he makes clear, the future of Iraq must be up to the Iraqis.  He begins to unveil a timetable.  A very specific account of continued American occupation and peacekeeping, and then steady disengagement.  If the Iraqi people do not want democracy, Bush tells us, America will not force it on them. It must be natural, he assures us, and enough lives have already been lost.

The camera pans out, and slowly the image of an honest and optimistic, yet somber President slowly fades to black.

*And now back to your regularly scheduled programming…*
