The Greatest Enemy of the United States is the Republican Party

As long as the Republican Party is the Party of No, the Party of Against, and as long as it is willing to allow publicity seeking attack dogs like Rush and Glen to become the spokesmen for the Party and, as long as the party has no internal leadership to steer it away from the unethical and the criminal, the Republican Party will continue to put the party before the country, and we will have aberrant behavior like that directed at President Obama, simply because he is not a Republican.

Many Americans believe that the Republican Party not Al Quaida or the Taliban is the greatest enemy of the United States because it undermines, smears and vilifies the normal, the American, for its own benefit. The Party was once a party of conservatives and now it is, at best, a party of radicals, and at worst a party of terrorists. It is a party so out of control it cannot even control itself. It is capitalizing on the general frustration and anger and diminished world standing foisted on the United States by the Bush Administration and that frustration and outrage is being harnessed into this radical and terrorist leaning party. The Republican Party is really scary because it is so out of control, so willing to go to any extreme to gain that nebulous something that MAY give it some legitimacy in its own eyes. It is consuming itself by its own lack of leadership, its radicalism and willingness to go to any extreme to once again achieve some legitimacy in its own eyes.
If the Republican Party was not so dangerous, it would simply be pathetic.

ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN HOLD BUSH AND CHENEY ACCOUNTABLE

President Obama was elected to be President of the United States, and has a moral and legal obligation to uphold the law of the land, but he has so much to do that HE alone cannot hold the criminal Bush Administration accountable as well as clean up the catastrophic mess they left us.

The people, not the Obama Administration, must find a way to bring charges against the Bushites before the United Nations International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, and try them on a world stage. If they are innocent, then they will be so proven in a court of law. Many citizens of the world believe they are guilty and a trial will convict them or lift the cloud of suspicion. All meaningful change in government starts with the people so the people must begin this movement at the grassroots level.

If the rule of common law is to remain supreme, all people must be treated equally. The Bushites – Cheney, Rumsfeldt, Addington, Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft, Wu and the rest of the Neocons - are guilty of multiple felonies and crimes against humanity, torture, lied us into a war by manipulating intelligence resulting in the deaths of four thousand plus Americans and over two million dark-skinned people in the Arab world. They lied, orchestrated cover-ups, politicized government agencies, fired federal prosecutors who would not politicize their offices, outed CIA agents, violated basic civilized conventions and disregarded the Geneva Convention - the list of their crimes is endless - and behaved like a defiant mafia. A person who sells crack can possibly be sent to jail for his entire life. These elected officials are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity and must be adjudicated in a court of law. President Obama must oversee the bringing to justice of these people; the people, acting judiciously and within the confines of common law, must see that justice is served.

The Charter of the International Commission of Inquiry on the Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration, A Project of Not in Our Name Statement of Conscience states:

"When the possibility of far-reaching war crimes and crimes against humanity exists, people of conscience have a solemn responsibility to inquire into the nature and scope of these acts and to determine if they do in fact rise to the level of war crimes ."


Unless these politicians are tried in a court of law, then the US is no longer a nation of laws and the criminal element has destroyed our system of common law and assaulted the US Constitution. Only the people using the power of a free society can purify our system of government.

TOP FIVE HEALTH CARE LIES AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM.

Lie #1: President Obama wants to euthanize your grandma!!!
The truth: These accusations—of "death panels" and forced euthanasia—are, of course, flatly untrue. As an article from the Associated Press puts it: "No 'death panel' in health care bill."1 What's the real deal? Reform legislation includes a provision, supported by the AARP, to offer senior citizens access to a professional medical counselor who will provide them with information on preparing a living will and other issues facing older Americans.2
If you'd like to read the actual section of the legislation that spawned these outrageous claims (Section 1233 of H.R. 3200) for yourself, here it is. It's pretty boring stuff, which is why the accusations that it creates "death panels" is so absurd. But don't take our word for it, read it yourself.

Lie #2: Democrats are going to outlaw private insurance and force you into a government plan!!!
The truth: With reform, choices will increase, not decrease. Obama's reform plans will create a health insurance exchange, a one-stop shopping marketplace for affordable, high-quality insurance options.3 Included in the exchange is the public health insurance option—a nationwide plan with a broad network of providers—that will operate alongside private insurance companies, injecting competition into the market to drive quality up and costs down.4 If you're happy with your coverage and doctors, you can keep them.5 But the new public plan will expand choices to millions of businesses or individuals who choose to opt into it, including many who simply can't afford health care now.

Lie #3: President Obama wants to implement Soviet-style rationing!!!
The truth: Health care reform will expand access to high-quality health insurance, and give individuals, families, and businesses more choices for coverage. Right now, big corporations decide whether to give you coverage, what doctors you get to see, and whether a particular procedure or medicine is covered—that is rationed care. And a big part of reform is to stop that.

Health care reform will do away with some of the most nefarious aspects of this rationing: discrimination for pre-existing conditions, insurers that cancel coverage when you get sick, gender discrimination, and lifetime and yearly limits on coverage.6 And outside of that, as noted above, reform will increase insurance options, not force anyone into a rationed situation.

Lie #4: Obama is secretly plotting to cut senior citizens' Medicare benefits!!!
The truth: Health care reform plans will not reduce Medicare benefits.7 Reform includes savings from Medicare that are unrelated to patient care—in fact, the savings comes from cutting billions of dollars in overpayments to insurance companies and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.8

Lie #5: Obama's health care plan will bankrupt America!!!
The truth: We need health care reform now in order to prevent bankruptcy—to control spiraling costs that affect individuals, families, small businesses, and the American economy. Right now, we spend more than $2 trillion dollars a year on health care.9 The average family premium is projected to rise to over $22,000 in the next decade10—and each year, nearly a million people face bankruptcy because of medical expenses.11 Reform, with an affordable, high-quality public option that can spur competition, is necessary to bring down skyrocketing costs. Also, President Obama's reform plans would be fully paid for over 10 years and not add a penny to the deficit.12

The Southern Strategy Used by the Right Is An Attack on Obama

The Southern Strategy being used by the Republican Party to blatantly attacking President Obama’s Blackness is manifesting itself in many ways. Saying at demonstrations at Town Meetings, “Give us back our country” is an Atwaterism that really says give us back our country from a Black President. The despicability factor of the Republican fringes indeed has no lower limit.

The issue is that the entire Republican Party’s attack on President Obama is really an attack on the American people because he is trying to pass a health reform passage that benefits all Americans, stabilize our economy which was disabilized in large part by the Bush Administration appointing insiders to oversight committees and agencies which allowed Wall Street to pick the US Treasury and the people clean, and he is trying to re-establish the position of the United States in the world as a world partner not the neocons view that the United States has a responsibility to lead the world at any cost to any nation.

Most people can see clearly the self-serving, obstructionist behavior and further marginalize a GOP that is almost already over the horizon.

The GOP fringe behavior further weakens the effectiveness of our government because we need a strong, ethical GOP as the voice of the loyal opposition; the GOP obviously cares more about the party than it does about the country and its people.
