This was never supposed to happen here, that a biological father and former president would one day endorse and support the presidential crimes of his "lying, cheating, murdering" son, whose penchant for "ignoring treaties, breaking law after law, overthrowing the Constitution, and waging illegal war after illegal war"1 has reverted this beloved land to something far more backward than anyone thought it would ever be possible to happen here-but it has.
It has happened here that this blue blooded son of the House of Bush with a penchant for power and control has committed said crimes against the Constitution of the United States, and against the people of the world, and that his wimpish and equally criminally dishonest father has stated, referring to his son, "I support him with every fiber of my being."
So there you have it, a president supporting another president, a father supporting his son in the commission of many crimes against humanity, against the people of the world and the U.S. and against the very Constitution which has been the bedrock of our American democracy.
All of the above stated crimes against the principles set forth by the Founding Fathers in the American Constitution and by the Geneva Accords and against the essence of the meaning of America and Americans, coming forth from the House of Bush, a dynasty more concerned with Power for the sake of power getting, self promotion, self enrichment and self advancement than with the use of Power for the benefit of mankind.
And there you have it, too. Like a string of beads from the House of Bush served upon America, the lies and advancements of a son who, like his father before him, and the father's father before him are wheeler-dealers enamored with power, and with seeking to advance themselves politically, no matter by what means.
Two men of amoral character who like the traveling salesmen of the old west, lie, cheat and connive to promote their power grab, make the money and advance themselves-no matter what, have, almost sequentially advanced themselves to the power of the white house making it a fortified garret rather than the house of wisdom and freedom it should be.
This was never supposed to happen here. Not like this.
Not since King George declared that he was the only one who had the power to make laws-but it has.
Not since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence signed by the fifty-six Representatives of the United States of America in the second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776 and the subsequent celebratory mood all over the land back in 1976 commemorating 200 years of Independence Day.
This was never supposed to happen here-not since I read the Diary of Ann Frank and Auschwitz at my uncle Lindsay's house where, in contrast to the stories narrated in both books, the smell of home cooked meals wetted the appetite and alerted you to the fact that for aunt Bevelyn, a housewife concerned with feeding her man in a land of freedom, opportunity and plenty for many, there was never any fear that she, nor he, nor any of us would ever be carted off, taken away to some prison camp or gulag, disappeared, and never be heard from, ever, again.
This was never supposed to happen here. Not since those early fall nights of baseball games on the high school grounds en route to Vicksburg where half the town rooted for one team and the other half rooted for the other team.
Not ever since those days when the screen door on aunt's Florence Mae farm house squeaked every time you went out to milk the cows or came back in from gathering eggs in the chicken coup, to the sitting on the grey wooden steps the night my mother died. This was never supposed to happen here.
But it has.
The Constitution, having been betrayed on October 17, 2006 by this man named George from the House of Bush ... is in great distress. The Constitution is dying.
This was not supposed to happen here that in America the Constitution should die from wounds inflicted to it by one of its own. This was not supposed to happen here that a man named George from the House of Bush should endeavor to suppress freedom of speech, or that Supreme Court Judges should choose to make ideology over the rule of law the dictum of the land.
This was also never supposed to happen here that an Attorney General so void of any self would one day serve as an arm-jerk rubber-stamper for sanctioning the crimes the House of Bush.

Answer: People who are very much like the Bushes themselves.
People in love with greed, power and control. i.e., people like Tom Delay, Mark Foley, and so many others, including the lady with whom i once sat at the same table and when the conversation turned to politics, she said, "isn't it horrible what Bill Clinton did?"--when I realized that she was talking about Monica Lewinsky and Clinton's blow job, I said, "What? Do you think that is bad? What do you think about the killing of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilian, and hundreds of American soldiers in an invasion and an occupation which should have never been?"--the woman shut up and said nothing else after that. Well, she said nothing to me, after that.

It happened here because no one was brave enough to step up and stop it. Not that there weren't those that wanted to, there just weren't enough of them. Yet, as I read blog after blog and even post my own blog on the matter, all I hear is the grumblings of the people. And more and more people are making grumblings about the so called leader of the free world. The Bushwacker has made us the most hated nation in the world and it won't be long before they rise up against us as a unified entity. It scares the bejabbers out of me when I think of the world that my grandchildren will inherit. Now this crazed, power hungry idiot wants to attack Iran? What is he thinking. All I can say is this: Tell the MFer NO MORE! You can't have my kids or my grandkids, my brothers or their kids. If he wants to fight a war put him in a room with their leader and have the stupid dolts go at it. The winner gets to go home the loser goes to hell. War has never in the Earth's history ever solved anything. As long as there are people dumb enough to follow along the dictates of a crazed leader we will always have war. Maybe we should utilize DNA testing to wean out the ones prone to violence before they are born. That just leaves the ones already here. Put THEM on an island all to themselves and let them decide who gets to be top dog. As for the Bushwacker...impeach his ass before he has a chance to do any more damage and lets not forget Chenney. Down with Despots.

I did raise my voice at the Early Voting place on Sunday.
You might want to read, "Showdown at the Early Voting Place." It felt really good to speak up and speak out. Though the people inside that room froze when I started to speak up and out. Some people are afraid. Others are just like the Bush Family.
