What did Bush have to fear if the official conspiracy theory involving a conspiracy of middle eastern terrorists was correct? Since when are crimes not investigated?

In the next several weeks, possibly months, when Articles of Impeachment are drawn up, specific charges against Bush will be made public. Bush's crimes will prove to be not merely political, they will include charges of a criminal nature.

Bush will be impeached because he made of us a fascist nation. He is, at his hollow core, an anti-American "President" who despises Democracy and prefers a dictatorship. Real Americans find this notion repugant, hateful and despicable. Clearly, Bush did not come to power because he understood the people. Rather, he was appointed by an elite cabal with intricate connections to the Military/Industrial complex warned of by President Dwight Eisenhower.

Following are some of the characterisitics of a fascist state:
  • The truth is revealed once and only once.

    Bush would have us believe that he was appointed by God. It doesn't matter whether Bush sincerely believed himself on a divine mission. I could not worship any "God" who would appoint Bush his messenger.

  • Parliamentary democracy is by definition rotten because it doesn't represent the voice of the people, which is that of the sublime leader.

    This is related to the above characteristic of fascism. A fascist leader, a "Fuhrer", does not merely enforce the laws, der Fuhrer is the source of law. This is repugnant to American values which derive from a sovereign named in the Constitution itself. The people.

  • Doctrine outpoints reason, and science is always suspect.

    The Bush regime is notoriously anti-science with regard to climate change, stem cell research, ecology, and education.

  • Critical thought is the province of degenerate intellectuals, who betray the culture and subvert traditional values.

    The Third Reich defined itself with its crackdown on intellectuals and not only becuase many of them were Jews. Historian Richard Hofstadter identified in America a virulent resentment of intellectuals and traced its origin to the early, colonial churches. More recently, the troglodytes found in Bush, a fuhrer.

  • The national identity is provided by the nation's enemies.

    This is the role played by the war on terrorism, a page out of Hermann Goring's playbook. Every tyrant has sought to rally his subjects by exploiting fear, hate, and prejudice.

  • Argument is tantamount to treason.

    Silencing dissent makes Der Fuhrer all-powerful but only initially. In the end, it deprives the tyrant of crucial information. The fascist state oftens falls by virtue of its own ignorance. Bush, for example, has ignored his commanders. Reality will overtake delusion. His would-be dictatorship will fall.

  • Perpetually at war, the state must govern with the instruments of fear. Citizens do not act; they play the supporting role of "the people" in the grand opera that is the state.
