DUMPING THE CONSTITUTION AND RULING BY PROXY INSTEAD
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
With Bush’s latest move as a lame-duck President, this man has effectively sealed our fate as a nation governed by rule of law and democracy.
The rules regarding FISA have been tossed out and warrantless spying on the American public is in.
I’m so excited by this prospect of having an outlaw government run one of the world’s largest superpowers, I just don’t know who to thank for providing the needed inspiration: Richard M. Nixon or Adolph Hitler!
Naturally, Bush is claiming that this has to be done in order to protect the American public, but the truth is, is that Bush just wants to know what each and every one of us are doing every waking moment.
And that includes his party opposition as well.
Why do you think he went out of his way to shield telecom companies from breaking the law–as they have for the last 6 years?
Whether it’s by product or design, the fundamental declarations made in our Constitution have made it clear that our rights will not be violated, nor will they be infringed upon!
But–as you can see–even the US Constitution is finally no match for a man who has taken it upon himself to declare himself god and king of one of the most powerful nations on Earth.
Nixon tried to–as President–to get above the law precipice; to show to the American public back then that he wasn’t held accountable for his criminal acts.
But Congress reigned him in, slapped him down with impeachment proceedings, and almost had him removed from office–had he not resigned.
However, Bush is one step above that and on the level of what Hitler managed to accomplish as supreme dictator of Nazi Germany.
Hitler turned that once proud nation into a despotic horror show by stripping their citizens of their rights, jailing or executing the opposition, and making it so that the Nazi Party wasn’t challenged or held accountable by its actions.
Much like the Republican Party has done already.
Bush had just simply taken a page from ol’ Uncle Adolph and stripped us of our Constitution and settled on ruling by proxy instead.
And it is all perfectly legal.
And Congress’s reaction to all this?
Nothing.
They just do what Bush forces them to do–without question.
Just like good little soldiers.
