Bush With Congressman Doolittle's Help

Bush with Doolittle’s help has turned the US into a nation of war criminals and committers of crimes against humanity. Bush with Doolittle’s help has made us, We the People, and our nation a lawless nation, a universal pariah, a nation with only one functioning imperial executive branch with Bush as the emperor, a nation universally disliked. We have become a nation with a leader who is either a Texas National Guard AWOLer or Chimpy McFlightsuit, either a disgrace or a joke. What our government does is what we allow it to do. What we allow it to do, we are responsible for. What we have allowed our nation to become we will answer for and continue to answer to the world until we alter it.

Any act our government commits is committed in the name of its people. Any atrocity that our armed services commit, they commit in our name, individual Americans. Our government is simply the vehicle that represents each of us as individuals. If it is not, it is broken and must be fixed. If a citizen is unhappy with his government, then he has a moral responsibility to do whatever is necessary to effect a change in that government until it directly and honestly reflects his will.

How long will be sit by with the daily Iraqi body count numbering to a hundred? Our Founding Fathers effected the change from a despot and laid out the blueprint for all subsequent changes from despots. In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote, “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness), it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” Bush with Doolittle’s help has so twisted our nation that it is hardly recognizable.

The people have had their power and good name wrested from them, and it is their moral duty to take it back. What we do to others we ultimately do to ourselves. John Donne in his “Meditation 17,” in Devotions on Emergent Occasions, wrote the well-known words,

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were. Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee…”

What he meant is that anyone’s death lessens the life of all the living because part of them dies with that death. Mindless, indiscriminate death makes us all less human.

Short of impeachment we cannot remove Bush from office. Impeachment becomes a more likely reality when the makeup of Congress, especially the House, is removed from Bush’s control.

What we can do here in the Fourth Congressional District to achieve that end, most of us are already doing. Just keep doing it, only more so. Dumping Doolittle will be one small step toward the giant step of taking our government back from our oppressors. One small step toward taking back our government can be achieved by taking back control of our Congressional District.

Nothing is impossible unless we say it is. Nothing is possible until we say it is. Freedom begin with a state of mind. Freedom begins with dumping Doolittle.
