The Democrats, Led by Nancy Pelosi, Have Betrayed America

This is the most frightening piece I’ve read some time, along with Justin Raimondo’s latest column on antiwar.com that draws upon it. Raimondo citing a recent CNN interview with Seymour Hersh links Cheney and Deputy National Security Advisor Elliott Abrams (the most powerful neocon presently in the administration) to U.S. support for the Sunni Fatah al Islam militia in Lebanon as a means to weaken Hizbollah. “George W. Bush,” he declares, “is totally out of the loop” in what Raimondo calls “the Cheney administration.” MORE

Speaker Pelosi, you are betraying the trust of the American people, and even worse than that, the trust of those who are actually fighting this war and are donating to the Democrats instead of the Republicans - which is the only way the troops have of showing their discontent with Bush and Cheney. When you explain “why” impeachment is off the table, please include a synopsis of how you and fellow Democrats will “hold this administration accountable…” Don’t tell us here, but send a message to the troops who are protesting this war in the only way they can, plus the resignation of some of our best Generals (Which seems to have been in vain…) - who you and the rest of Congress are ignoring, as well as the oath you took to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States!

Yesterday, Daniel Ellsberg wrote an article titled: ‘A Coup Has Occurred’ It’s a sobering glimpse into what has already happened and awaits us if our cowardly Congress doesn’t act immediately to impeach or indict Bush and Cheney, but it won’t happen as long as we have people like Pelosi and Reid guiding the Democratic Party; for all practical purposes, our system of checks and balances is dead and stinking - rotting away with the rest of our freedoms and liberty. It’s a sad day when the bulk of our Congress are nothing more than con-artists who will say and do anything to get elected - and then betray all of those who trusted them with our future.

Let’s face it, the Democrats have betrayed America - and I don’t believe we will ever see an election in 2008. It’s time to heed the President’s declaration of September being “National Preparedness Month” - but how do you prepare for the death of democracy?
