And they don't like it. They have nowhere to go. The wheels of justice are rolling slowly, deliberately, directly at them, and they're beginning to see that the end for them is marching toward them.
We will see some desperate things now. As they attempt to distract, deceive, manipulate, intimidate, and conquer.
I believe at first it was all about the money for them. Stuffing the bank accounts of their friends and families by looting the American people. Then when they got away with it, their heads got big, and the desire for more and more power overcame them. At this point, it was no longer about the money, they have all they need. It is about the power. The power to do whatever they want to do. The power to force their agenda and beliefs on all, regardless of what must be done to make this happen.
Now they realize that there are people who are on to them. At first, these people are disregarded as lunatics, or conspiracy theory wackos, and are largely ignored. But day by day, more and more people start to wonder if there's any truth to what they're hearing. This is enforced when Bush says one thing and does another. It is enforced when Americans discover that our country is being sold to foreign governments, and the administration that has promised to protect us is actually putting us in greater danger.
We begin to suspect things aren't right when we are told to support our troops, yet our troops are not supported by our government. They do not have armour. They ride through Iraq in vehicles that are not safe. They drink unsafe drinking water. And they die. Why? Americans discover the reasons we were given for going to war were all lies. And our flippant administration won't even answer us when we ask why.
Then we discover our President is changing our laws. He is circumventing the legal process by adding signing statements to laws duly passed by our governing bodies. He doesn't like them, so he just changes them. And he doesn't care if we like it or not. Our President no longer works for us, we are now servants to him.
Our Vice President shoots someone on a hunting outing, and it is concealed from the authorities and media. Why? What were they covering up? Then, in a surrealistic moment, the person who was shot apologizes to the person who shot him! No, Virginia, you aren't having a dream. It's real.
There are experts who question the official accounting of the terrorist act of September 11, 2001. What we have been told doesn't add up. More and more people are beginning to wonder if there isn't more to it than we know.
In spite of being told by our President that surveillance of Americans requires a court issued warrant, we discover this is not the case. We are being spied on without warrants, without court knowledge. This alone goes against the very fundamental values on which our country was founded.
Our President's family and friends are getting hyper-wealthy due to the special attention their companies receive from government no-bid contracts. And despite the conflict of interest issues these actions should raise, no one seems to care.
We discover lobbyists representing big corporations have literally been wining and dining our legislators and their staffs, so that new laws the lobbyists have written, to the benefit of the wealthy corporations they represent, will be put into effect. Abuses like the new bankruptcy law, which benefits no one except the credit companies, are forced upon Americans without concern. Whatever happened to our representation? Where are the people who are supposed to be looking out for our interests?
We are being choked to death by staggering deficits, which will cripple us for many years to come. America's middle class is being exterminated, all for the benefit of the select few upper crust Americans who don't really need the money anyway. They can do anything they want now, but that's not good enough for them. No-bid contracts are issued, and despite huge waste and lack of any accounting of the expenses, our government continues to do business with these same companies, and refuses to investigate the waste, all because these companies are part of the "good ole boy" group of Republican Party sponsors.
Our President is totally out of touch with reality. He's never had a real job, never been held accountable for anything during his life, and has continued his bad habits - lying, stealing, drug abuse, and drinking, right into the Oval Office.
We are expected to believe our President is a born again Christian, yet he has not done one thing of a Christian nature since he took office. In fact, his actions would indicate he is not a Christian at all, yet the religious community, largely responsible for his initial popularity, stands behind him instead of denouncing his actions.
And there is more. So much more. Election fraud. Scandals among Republican representatives. Libby. Cunningham. DeLay. Frist. Harris. Ney. Let's not forget their good friend Abramoff.
They are getting backed into the corner, and they are getting desperate. Yet they continue to reject any and all inquiries into their actions. Any investigations done are on their terms, by members of their party, so there is no system of checks and balances in place. We are expected to trust them. Ask no questions, accept and support. If we do not, we are labeled as anti-American or in support of the terrorists.
Wouldn't you think if this administration were operating within the boundaries of the laws, and in the best interests of the people, that they would welcome an investigation? A real investigation? That would put all the naysayers in their place. Proof positive that everything has been legal, moral, ethical, and Christian.
What are they hiding? Likely a lot. There is likely so much hiding and lurking in the dark, dank, recesses of the Republican cellar that they are more afraid of the truth than anything else.
And yet they see the truth marching at them every day. Slowly, surely, one dark secret at a time, the truth is coming closer and closer. And the Republicans know that their options are becoming fewer and fewer. The next few months should be very interesting. Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
