There are few patriots serving in our government today.

I am not so sure about our President and most members of Congress...they are not acting much like patriots, preferring to trade liberty away, one piece at a time.

We, The People deserve better. We deserve patriots in office.

Rev Wright Was a Patriot

Applause to Paul Kruger for taking action by writing this article.

Paul Kruger is correct that some Presidents and some (most?) members of Congress have made a mockery of our Constitution.  It is extremely sad that the American people do not rise against the government.  The media have aided some members of Congress or the President to ignore stories or slant them in a way that affect emotion rather than logical reasoning.  The affect of the media has increased substantial with the growth of cable and the Internet.

If Obama voted against FISA, the media would have constantly replayed the McCain charges of Obama does not care about your safety.  He was in a no win situation.  I am more interested in prosecuting government officials that ordered illegal wiretaps; however, anyone in Congress that would propose actions against Bush would have a difficult time.  The Republicans and MSM would play on the fears of 9/11.

Rep. John Conyers announced today that he would hold Judiciary Committee hearings next week on the "imperial" Bush presidency.  Impeachment was not in his wording, but it was a step forward.  Searching the Internet only results in a few sites with the information.  I did not find any mainstream media sites.

 Rev Wright preached about the atrocities the United States has committed throughout the world.  For people that never took the time to listen to his entire sermons or attempt to understand what he was say have branded Rev Wright as not being patriotic, being a racists, and many other derogatory comments. 

It took great courage to preach sermons about social injustices.  It took great courage to not back down on his "G** Damn" American sermon.  Most people do not realize he was condemning the Bush administration, not the American people.

Top Methodist leader wants Bush - a Methodist - impeached - May 30, 2006.

Jim Winkler, General Secretary, United Methodist Board of Church and Society has been "very" vocal in his opposition to the war in Iraq.

"These are actions far more serious than a failed land deal on the White River or a sexual indiscretion with a White House intern," Winkler said, comparing Bush to Clinton, whose impeachment was never urged by Winkler's agency. Had the Iraq war been led by John Kerry or Al Gore, Winkler surmised, the "Limbaughs and Gingriches of the world would be screaming for their impeachment."

Patriot

Dennis Kucinich is the only patriot left in Congress. Everyone else bows down to Big Business and Israel. I'm sick of the Obama apologists always saying if he voted the right way the media would bash him for it. So what the hell does that matter. Real patriots don't give a damn if the media criticizes them. Real patriots defend the US Constitution and the people of this country. Real patriots do what's right because it's right not because its popular with the media or the political establishment. Dennis Kucinich doesn't give a sh*t what the media says and obviously neither do the people of his district since they continue to reelect Dennis Kucinich to Congress. His district is not a liberal district either. The previous congressman from his district was a Republican.
