George Bush doesn't OWN Louisiana
Louisiana is NOT a Bush family business. Gov. Blanco works for the PEOPLE of Louisiana. She does NOT work for George W. Bush. He is NOT her boss. George Bush does NOT own the Louisana National Guard. They work for the Governor and the PEOPLE of Louisiana. He is not the Commander and Chief of ANYTHING that isn't under FEDERAL control.
Gov. Blanco is this Commander and Chief of the Louisana National Guard. They take orders from HER. George Bush seems to think he OWNS the United States. He doesn't. He doesn't own FEMA or Homeland Security EITHER. Bush just doesn't seem to understand this. Maybe we can get some BRAVE Democrat Senators to explain the limits of his power to him. ON TV! Howard Dean where are you?

4. I'm afraid, as Emperor of Amerika, he DOES own us
And what are we going to do about it?

Vote them out?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You want the ability to vote in Free Elections? Go to the Ukraine.

You want an endless One-Party State? Then Amerika or Saudi Arabia are the places for you.

They DO own us, and we have no recourse to stop them.

19. Because, Megan, I am an American...a FREE American
and in spite of the fact that I have no country anymore (just a pale shadow of what was), I WILL NOT be run off by these Second-Cousins of the Nazis.

No giving up here...I might be wrong. I will be out there in 2006 and 2008 as I was in 2002 and 2004.

Even though in all likelihood, those "elections" are already over.

The Busheviks won.

But I would rather end on my feet, than give up and grovel.

But I have no illusions about where I live now. I live behind the Televised Curtain of Lies that is Imperial Amerika. And I have the same rights to have my vote counted (in National Elections, anyway, I think they are still going to let us pick our own dogcatchers for awhile longer) as a Negro in 1948 Mississippi or as a Soviet Cizien in 1978.

At least the Busheviks haven't yet begun emulating those peoples in the areas of violence and brutality...yet.

Hooray.

But give up? NEVER!

11. Legal question:
Can state governors sue the feds for taking National Guard units to Iraq and leaving them vulnerable?

18. At the Chimperor
Obviously.

It's just all so transparently greed-driven. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?!?!

Are we all really SO STUPID? I mean, I thought it was just ignorance, but then wilfull ignorance is harder to justify, and stupidity in the face of overwhelming information is just - STUPIDITY.
