I'LL HAVE A SIDE OF KARMA WITH THAT

Another thing I recently noticed along I-55 is just one more sign of how much we've lost in this great Nation. I was passing a car with Pennsylvania registration, and what we read on the plate disgusted my Son, Pete, and me. I'm certain it has William Penn whirling in his grave, as well.

Our country's earliest history, yea, its very independence, can be traced back to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, here in the 21st Century, in the era of the RoveBush Fascist Regime, does the license plate of that Commonwealth proudly portray the Liberty Bell, or shine with the red, white and blue? Is there any indication whatsoever of its heritage as the Seat of Liberty?

Not at all. Their new plate is made up of some drab, non-descript color combination, and simply says Pennsylvania across the top with the official website at the bottom. How utterly depressing.

Lest there be any more finality to the death knell of our beloved Liberty Bell?

Well, here in Illinois, despite all those Neo-cons (the gay president) and neo-Nazis (the bum that emancipated the slaves) who would demonize his memory, we are still damned proud of Abraham Lincoln! He's on each and every vehicle, don'cha know.

Okay, let it all go to hell. I'm sure nobody has any children or grandchildren they care about.

Like I asked one of my two best friends, Ken, when he was defending the neverending war scenario: What are you going to be saying in six or seven years and your then 18-year-old son is part of the mandatory conscription?

You don't really think Herr Ubermeister Karl Rove has any plans of ever leaving the West Wing, do you? Why else would Rove, Cheney and Rummy have all purchased multi-million dollar homes in or near the D.C. area?

We got ourselves in unison and brought some of the good Karma back to the U.S.A. when Nixon left, but lost it again midway during the Reagan years. Let's work together and bring it on home to stay.

As American citizens we must recognize and admit how the Rehnquist Supreme Court illegally allowed this illegitimate takeover of our Government by the RoveBushCheney Fascists. If we don't impeach the entire cabal now, we may never get rid of them.
