Charge a President with Murder
Charge a President with Murder

...On Thursday, dkos user Stranded Wind and I were invited to meet some major players at the heart of the Bush/Cheney Accountability Movement, including NYTimes best selling authors Naomi Wolf and legendary prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, as well as Charlotte Dennett, whose new Book "The People v. Bush: One Lawyer's Campaign to Bring the President to Justice and the Nationwide Grassroots Movement She's Encountered Along the Way" http://peoplevbush.com/ was just released this month.

The Accountability Movement will NOT "look forward" not until we have justice...

...These words can NOT become official American policy:

"If the president does it, that means it's not illegal."

~ President Richard Nixon


If the current administration fails to hold the previous one accountable for the war crimes that are the Iraq war, the torture of human beings and the subversion of the rule of law, they will have unleashed upon America a new feudal age, one where all laws are meaningless. There can NOT be two systems of justice, one for the rich and powerful and one for everyone else. At that point, American Democracy will cease to exist in everything but name. At that point King George will have won two hundred years later than expected.

Without accountability there is no justice, no hope, no peace. Without the rule of law applied equally to all there are no rules, there are no laws, except the law of the jungle, and that would undo everything our founding fathers stood for. We will have traded the divine rights of kings for the protective aegis of the office of the President, and that power which is above the law will trickle down to every other office and position of power until we have a system of tyranny by consent. Without equality there can be no justice, and if one man is above the law all other men are beneath it. That is when America ends, and that is what I will fight until my last breath escapes me...

My question to you, fellow patriots, is this . . . .

If Accountability is off the table, is not Democracy off the table as well?

The businessmen of 2010 fear no accountability. The politicians of 2010 fear no accountability. If this is not addressed immediately, the common citizen will soon live in fear of them.

If the President is above the law he is not a Public servant, he is a king, and you are less than an equal citizen of America with equal rights. If the President is a king, than it is the citizen who is a servant.

If the President can get away with murder without even a trial he might as well be a king, and if Barack Obama's Administration does not seek justice they will have failed in such a way that history will never, ever forgive us.

I hope and pray that such a day never comes, and I will fight until my last breath to see that that day shall never come.

Will you fight?

1. The only problem with the reasoning utilized in the arguments of that
Article - in a fascist state, there really and truly can be two separate laws and two separate styles of Justice.

In a fascist state, you pronounce the word "Just Us" and then the real meaning is clear.

It took them some twenty five to thirty years to get to this point, countless assassinations, and almost total control of the media, but we now are truly inside the Belly of the
Feudal/Fascist Beast!
