1. Very nice rant.

I agree with everything in it.

The author's going to get a lot of grief though. The Wingnuts are going to be all over that.

2. Somebody's been paying attention

3. For the crystal ball impaired...

Thanks for the link...but generally, a lot of DUers simply won't click on a blind link, without some sort of clue as to why they're clicking. Good rant! Thanks...I've snipped a preview for others...

The real axis of evil that destroyed America

Five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the United States of America lies beaten, battered and defeated - not by an enemy of extremists who hide in caves in Afghanistan but by its own government and leaders who sold out their nation for power and politics.

The America that exists today is a far cry from the one that woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001. It is a rotting corpse of a nation, eaten out by a cancer of power, greed and corruption.

Osama bin Laden and his minions did not destroy America when hijacked airliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and an empty field. They simply provided the spark to ignite nothing less than a coup to take over the United States government, a coup staged by a group of traitorous men and women who swore to uphold the Constitution but, instead, set about to dismantle that hallowed document and destroy the freedoms that once defined a great nation.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice and those who control Congress and support Bush's actions serve as co-conspirators in this coup.

5. Isn't this exactly what they said would happen from day one?

Didn't Usama at one time essentially just laugh at us and say he didn't need to destroy America, because after this attack we'd destroy ourselves? How many times can it be said...it appears Usama is winning. Everything he predicted is happening. Nothing Bush predicted has turned out to be true. Time to face the facts!

4. Excellent rant! I agree with all of it!

K&R!

6. This is called "The Truth". Its light blinds us, yet enables us to see.

Five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the United States of America lies beaten, battered and defeated - not by an enemy of extremists who hide in caves in Afghanistan but by its own government and leaders who sold out their nation for power and politics.
The America that exists today is a far cry from the one that woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001. It is a rotting corpse of a nation, eaten out by a cancer of power, greed and corruption.

Osama bin Laden and his minions did not destroy America when hijacked airliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and an empty field.

The once-great United States of America is now despised around the world as an international bully, a threat to world peace far greater than Islamic militants or communist dictators...

George W. Bush is a liar, a war monger and a murderer - drenched in the blood of every American soldier and Iraqi civilian who has died in his war launched with falsified evidence and trumped up rationales.

It is George W. Bush who represents the real evil that threatens America. He is a vile, heartless man who deserves nothing but contempt and one who should be led from the White House in shackles and tried as a traitor. Then we should turn him over to the international court so he can be tried as the mass murderer he is, the greatest threat in modern times to freedom in this world.
And others complicit in the Bush cabal must be brought to justice as well - Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Rice, along with the leadership of Congress.
This is no longer simply a case of voting bad leaders out of office. These men and women are despots who have sold out their country and must face swift, brutal justice as traitors.

It is often asked how we can honor those men and women who died on September 11, 2001. We can do so by restoring the country that died along with them. We can do it by restoring honor to a nation that has lost it because of a duplicitous, traitorous government that abandoned its principles, its morality and its values.
We can do it by restoring the real America and punishing those who are ultimately responsible - a corrupt Presidential administration and a Congress of co-conspirators who used a national nightmare for political benefit and a way to seize absolute control of a shell-shocked nation.

7. Truly! A good rant, made even better by the truth of it, from top to

bottom.

This asshole has done more damage to this country than 100 Osamas. He's caused us to turn on ourselves. WE are doing all the heavy lifting and the dirty work for al Qaeda. All they had to do is get the party started and then sit back and watch us do the rest.

When ANYBODY tells you "but - but - but - 9/11 CHANGED EVERYTHING!!!!!" the only proper response is - "well, then, you're admitting that the terrorists WON."

8. excellent summary of "what's wrong with America" . . .

if only some of our representatives and senators had enough balls to speak as clearly and succinctly, they might actually be able to rouse the American public from their "Survivor-induced" stupor long enough to demand impeachment . . .
