I just can't stop crying this morning.

I've been watching MSNBC and they're doing a program on the aftermath of Katrina. Earlier I had watched a forum on CSPAN abouth profiling with a clueless guy from DHS who doesn't get what is horrible about being detained and searched everytime you go somewhere. He told one questioner that he was "taking a cheap shot" when he refused to give his name. I've read several thread here about racism, nuclear threat, surviving the hurricaine, and civil rights violation. I feel helpless and hopeless right now. How could we have come to this? What has happened to goodness and decency in this nation? How did the people turn into shrill and shrieking fanatic cultists? Why do * and the Neocons not get hissed and booed out of the public arena and under the rocks where they belong?

5. Lets organize a People's Constitutional Convention

"When in the course of human events....."

Congress & the executive branch have failed the american people. The human events that have occurred over the past 4 years compell us to review our government and revive the revolutionary democratic principles our country was founded on.

Its the American thing to do.

3. The only thing bush had going for him.........

until Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath was that people in this country "felt safe" with bush at the helm. His John Wayne bravado, "steadfastness" and vengeful attitude toward the perpetrators of this national tragedy gave people a feeling of security. They even overlooked his decision to take this country into a war that was not favored by a majority of Americans. They figured he knew what he was doing and that in the end America WOULD be more safe because of it.
That was then. They now see that the bush bravado was nothing more than and act, just like John Wayne. They see that their feelings of safety were unfounded an baseless, that bush couldn't even handle a natural disaster much less one perpetrated by "evil doers" that could possibly cause much more harm to our country. They've seen through the smoke and mirrors that have been the trademark of the bush administration; all form and no substance.
Their end is near. The facade that kept people in line and moderately behind the neo-cons is peeling off faster than the rubber cover of the Superdome. They're finished, done. It's just a matter of time. This one WONT be glossed over. My only hope is that their total agenda is wiped out and not just the particular group of morons that implemented it.
It's always darkest before the dawn. Have faith in America. Lord knows they've given us enough reasons to lose faith in them several times over but the truth WILL prevail. Hang in there, we're all in this together.

I'm so sorry. I know how difficult it is to see it all--I cried all last week and well past the weekend. I honestly didn't think I would ever stop.

Just know you aren't alone in your feelings about all of this. Many here share your feelings.

7. Don't worry honey. We're gonna nail these cretins and here is why:

If you've been around DU for any length of time, you've surely seen the "drip drip" posts. You know the ones, where they state the latest transgression by the junta that should be eroding their support?

Well, we finally have enough drips in place. The "MSM" is actually doing their jobs for once, making the spin less effective, and rumor has it that Judy Miller may be cutting a deal. If what she has to say is damning, and you might think it was or she wouldn't be in jail right now, then there is a good chance Plamegate is moving forward again. And tied into Plamegate are the Downing Street Memos where we learned that the intel to go into Iraq was fixed around the policy of making war.

So we'll have the unfortunate disaster on the Gulf that awakened a whole lot of people, and then we'll have indictments being handed out left and right because it sounds like some folks perjured themselves when talking about the Plame situtation.

Now, the big issue here is, what will happen to ** and Cheney? Remember, they don't "testify under oath", they "visit" with grand juries. The big thing now is they are way down in the polls. We have got to drive them further down by revealing more of their atrocities until the American people are screaming for those people to put their hands on a Bible and take that oath and spill the beans. (Assuming, of course, they and the Bibles don't go up in smoke from touching each other.)
