to take this den of warmongers out of the White House but they slither away every damn time. How can this be, what super power do they have that we aren't aware of, how do they do it? I can't find the answers and I've looked high and low but its been all for naught. wtf

1. Bottom line: They'll never have to answer for anything unless they are IMPEACHED
That's how they're going to slither away. Not enough people in Congress have the guts to stand up to their overlords in the White House. So they're going to get away with it.

Sorry.

his replacement, not another one of them

2. We have to totally clean house with investigations, impeachments
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 11:23 AM by ShortnFiery
and criminal prosecutions. Otherwise, you're right, the now younger blood sucker neo-conservatives will slither out of the cracks to reign hell on earth again come thirty years down the road.

Let's do the job right this time? No Slack - No Mercy. PROSECUTE!

Henry Waxman's investigations are A GOOD START. :thumbsup:

24. You know it. They live again because Bill Clinton made sure they could.
http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0511-29.htm

And they are setting up the Clinton2 to do the exact same for Bush2 and his crew.

8. But IF we are able to educate the masses to this great deception
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 11:34 AM by ShortnFiery
of fear mongering, hate nurturing, and in general fermenting ENDLESS WAR, they will rise up and say "NO!"

We have to try and hope there are enough representatives that don't worship "money" as their "GOD." :shrug:

Oh, On Edit: I'm a member of that Commie Pinko Godless Organization :sarcasm: whose member is speaking now at the March, Pax Christi. http://www.paxchristiusa.org/ ;) :grouphug:

23. Even Big Brother in 1984 didn't try to educate the masses
he just monitored them, gave them enough "entertainment" to keep them docile.

The masses don't want education. They want American Idol and someone to hate.

7. I used to think that too
but year after year and lie after lie and media-cover after media-cover I realized that the coop was not in the process, but actually finished. Bush claims he is the decider, because he does not believe we have a democracy anymore. No one told us that we were invaded and our government overturned and we lost to PNAC and the crazy Texans.

9. Pay close attention to the trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby...
Karl Rove and Dan Bartlett have just been subpoenaed to testify - by the defense, no less. The White House is really worried now.

10. Read the myth of Sisyphus - and don't get discouraged.
Be proud that you have committed yourself to a lifelong pursuit of humanity.

Myth of Sisyphus


It is during that return, that pause, that Sisyphus interests me. A face that toils so close to stones is already stone itself! I see that man going back down with a heavy yet measured step toward the torment of which he will never know the end. That hour like a breathing-space which returns as surely as his suffering, that is the hour of consciousness. At each of those moments when he leaves the heights and gradually sinks toward the lairs of the gods, he is superior to his fate. He is stronger than his rock.

If this myth is tragic, that is because its hero is conscious. Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him? The workman of today works everyday in his life at the same tasks, and his fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious. Sisyphus, proletarian of the gods, powerless and rebellious, knows the whole extent of his wretched condition: it is what he thinks of during his descent. The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that can not be surmounted by scorn.

11. What super power? The power of the presidency of the United States.
It's a pretty damn powerful power.

But we know have the power of the US Congress, and better, we are starting to gain the power of the American people. Keep fighting, they are starting to give way. Hopefully it will be fast, but if not, we will just have to fight longer and harder.

14. I so hope that is true
I'm getting older and as I look back it seems we have had to fight for what is right my whole life. Just about the time I think it might let up something new crops up. Today all I really want to see is Justice done with this *cabal

16. It's just amazing when you think of what they did to Clinton for sex lie.
Just FUCKING AMAZING.

Lesson learned? You can kill soldiers for moot cause, but don't lie about sex.
