IMPEACH BUSH!!!!

Written by: John Patterson on Mar 20, 2007 7:48 PM EDT

We have no alternative, he is UTTERLY beneath the law, and made that choice quite publicly, TODAY, by claiming this inquiry into the attorney firings is partisan politics. And for obvious reasons, we need to impeach Cheney right along with Bush.

I'm one of those who has always considered Bush a hand-puppet, and like Rush Limbaugh, just an impotent player in a game managed by smarter people who feed them their lines. And I have little doubt that Rove is and always has been the author of both those puppet's lines.

But this latest escapade is so shameful, it proves Bush cares nothing for the rule of law, especially any law that applies to him and limitations to his power. Bush, or ANY president for that matter, is just a man, an elected official, nothing mre than a glorified a public servant, and not the royal ruler his delusions of grandeur and his minions apparently have convinced him of.

Bush forgot long ago that "The President" is just a man, not a king, who should realize that in our nation of equal members, honor and glory are earned, not inherited. It is given to those who stand forth and do what is right, regardless of the consequences. That is the meaning of nobility in this age of reason, freedom, and equality. If the man behind the office were a truly noble person, none of this would have ever happened in the first place, so he is not only a failure as a president, he has proven today he is, at best, a mediocre person, totally bereft of the real "excellency" of truth and honor. His nobility is imaginery, and vain.

His loyalties are to his cronies, not the taxpayers OR the voters.

It is time to hang the impeachment sword over his head, and give him an historic asterisk as big as his arrogance. It is time to start the process to hold him accountable for his hubris and defference.

All I have is my keyboard, a computer and a list of people who seem to tolerate my vociferous political emails. And a bunch of blogs I inhabit now and then. It may not be much, compared to the apparent power and wealth of our adversaries, but it might well be enough, if there are many of us who will make the same commitment. Call it the liberal blogosphere, call it grassroots, call it a popular groundswell, whatever label it takes, it is really a new revolution.

We do not need to resort to violence or insurrection. In this age of intant messages, our guns are keyboards and our bullets are words of truth, that can not be denied without another big, obvious lie. If we will just seek and nurture a resurrection of our democratic spirit, we can and will effect an historic change, simply by our mutual will.

I hope many of you will join me in making a pledge to redouble the effort to eject this infection on our highest office, well before the next election. The speech I just watched made me ashamed of our government, and that shame has turned to slow, deliberate rage.. the kind that keeps me up at nights, searching the news for one more tiny piece of evidence that might be used to topple these arrogant rogues.

So I'm making this personal commitment, as John Brown did when he stood forth and made his pledge to free the slaves. So, in the name of Voltaire, Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy and King, and for the sake of my children and grandchildren, I am committed to peacefully casting these dark angels out of our highest office, before their time is due, as a lesson to future dishonorable despots-in-Republican clothing, who would assume their no-bid, book-cooking ways can go on forever, at the expense of our free and equal nation, "the last, best hope of mankind on Earth."
