Bush's Attack on the Rule of Law

Bush’s attack on our moral system is most pointedly an attack on our common law. When morality and truthfulness disappear as they have under Bush, people turn to law for protection and that is where they come into direct conflict with Bush. When law falters in the absence of morality, culture and society waver on the brink of chaos. Sir Thomas More, in conflict with another tyrant, Henry VIII, said, “God made the angels to show Him splendor – as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind.” A society based on immorality and deception is a society headed toward Armageddon. People must look inward to find courage, act on it and re-establish the basic framework of society. People must find what is right by searching their own minds. When people’s minds tell them that authority (Bush) is wrong, they must then rely on what they know to be true in their own minds to live morally. People must take the responsibility for their own truth and act courageously. People must return morality and law to our nation by living by what we know is right, by rejecting the tyrant and his doctrine of corruption.
