Don't Let Bush Rewrite History

We forget the lessons of our past. Even worse, those in power rewrite the history to suit their own needs and agendas.

There was much discussion around 1763 concerning the methodical, step by step, usurping of liberty and rights of the people by those in power. So much so that John Dickenson said in 1768 “These unspeakable calamities come not from dust, come not causeless.” And furthers asks “Ought not the people therefore to watch? to observe facts? to search into causes? to investigate designs?"

Concerning these things, Gordon S. Wood wrote in his book Creation of the American Republic, “And as their search into the causes for what was happening proceeded, the otherwise inexplicable series of events increasingly seemed to be but pieces of a grand design, nothing less than, in Jefferson’s Words, ‘a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery’.”

I am certain that nothing less than absolute proof will convince us that the Administrative Branch of our current government has slowly, methodically, step by step, has begun and continues the process of exchanging the rule of law to the rule of big business.

Let us look at the facts as are publicly known:

The actions Administration has been plotting, methodical and hidden from the people, the Congress, and the Judiciary, until the actions become public and policy. There is no oversight being conducted.

• Case in point – the creation of the Energy Policy by Dick Cheney with the help of his friends in Energy Big Business. It has been said that the Energy Lobbyist wrote the bill themselves.
• Proven to be injurious to the US and the world.
• Case in point – Denying Global warming as a scientific fact.
• Proven to be wrong. Proven to be injurious to the US and the world.
• Case in point – The decision to invade Iraq made prior to 9/11.
• Proven to be bad foreign policy.
• Case in point – After 9/11, blaming Iraq with ties to Al Qaeda and involvement in 9/11.
• Proven not only to be wrong, but fabricated by the Bush/Cheney Administration in an effort to convince the American people to go to war.
• Case in point – Declaring that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and posed an imminent threat to the United States of America.
• Proven not only to be wrong, but fabricated by the Bush/Cheney Administration in an effort to convince the American people to go to war.
• Case in point – Announcing the sale of yellow cake uranium to Iraq by Niger.
• Proven to be fabricated, and knowingly used in the State of the Union Address by Bush to further his call to war.
• Case in point – After Joe Wilson wrote an OpEd piece exposing the lie about yellow cake uranium, his wife, CIA Operative Valerie Plame, was maliciously exposed by the White House in an effort to punish Joe Wilson.
• Proven to be true and exposes the length to which this administration is willing to go in order to silence and punish those who stand against it, even in truth. It was the motivation for this malicious act and the Bush/Cheney involvement that Scooter Libby was hiding when he committed purjury and obstructed justice, not his involvment in exposing Valerie Plame.
• Case in point – Using the fear they created (Bush, Cheney, et al) demanded the creation of laws that violate our rights as Americans
• Proven – Bush can declare anyone an enemy combatant and deny that person’s right to a fair, speedy trial by their peers.
• Proven – Any individual can be sent to a "secret internment camp" for enemy combatants with no hope of speaking to legal counsel and no hope of release, even though no “formal charges” are ever brought against you.
• Proven – The definition of torture has been changed so that as long as the interrogator does not cause permanent damage to organs, anything goes.
• Case in point – Creating new programs for positive press, but never intending to fund them. Proven – No child Left Behind. They even stole the name from someone else.
• Case in point – Snooping and spying on the American People
• Proven – The CIA, FBI and NSA have all acknowledged they have illegally spied on the American people.
• Case in point - Stay lowal to Bush/Cheney and they will protect you.
• Proven - Gonzales lied and obstructed his way through hearings concerning the politization of the hirings and firings of US Attorneys and, so far, nothing has happened to him. Scooter took the fall concerning the Valerie Plame incident and Bush commutted his sentence, reducing jail time to be served to zero days. Since Bush did not outright pardon Libby, Scooter can claim the "Fifth" during future trials and congressional hearings because his case is still before the court. Hmmm.

This list goes on ad infinitum.

The Administration believes as long as it moves in small, hidden and unseen steps they can move the entire country into the new and illegal system they are creating. It will no longer be a country for the People, but for the rich. Yhey concieve and carry out their deceitful deeds with out over sight claiming Executive Privilege.

When will it have gone too far? Who will look out for the poor and politically weak when we have let them get away with it?

When are the American people going to call for an end to this regime of neo-con capitalist pigs that care not for the people? but only the almighty dollar. And a last note, thanks to the efforts of the New Republican Party, the dollar is no longer as Almighty as it once was.

How sad we have let come this far.
