Political Whispers: A Look Into Today's World of Dark Politics

DOES HOLLYWOOD THINK ITS ABOVE THE LAW?

By Schuyler Thorpe

Back in 1997, I was living at a men’s mission–and classified as being “technically homeless”–after having some living arrangement problems of my own.

At one point, I had missed the curfew time of the mission and was facing a cold night out on the street.

So–as dumb as I was–I decided that for survival’s sake, I would break into the storage place I had my stuff in, and grab a blanket for the night.

To make a long story short, I got busted for breaking and entering. I spent a week at the jail, then paid my fine and moved on.

But it seems odd don’t you think? In the last 10 years or so, the Hollywood elite seems to think that it is above the law–and so they go out of their way to break those laws–and then whine about it when they get caught.

None of these retards ever serve any serious jail time for the crimes they’ve committed in society!

What? Do they think it’s just some big joke? That their money, wealth, and fame, can save them from spending a few months in jail to more than 20 years in prison for the shit they‘ve pulled?

So why is Paris Hilton so highly rated that she can escape spending 45 days behind bars?!

Take a cue from society, you spoiled bitch: You do the crime, you do the time!!!

And that goes for the rest of you Hollywood throwbacks! Stop treating the crimes you commit as being ‘no big deal’! If you want people to start looking up to you and idolizing you–then you had better start playing by the rules of law and pay a penance to society when you get caught!

You’re not doing yourselves any favors by playing the role of the innocent and expecting leniency when any of you break the law!

This is not the kind of role model my kids should have!

CONGRESS HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY; BUSH DOESN’T

By Schuyler Thorpe

Regardless of what some people think about who has what in our branches of government, our President may be Commander-in-Chief, but Congress still calls the shots on whether they should continue funding this sad debacle of a war.

By attaching language, Congress is living up to the people’s demands that this war end, and end soon: Not by some open-ended conflict with no end in sight.

That’s what the people of the United States of America wants. That’s what Congress is delivering. What Bush wants is more money from his rubberstamping Congress–with absolute no regards to where the money comes from–just so long as he gets what he wants without regard to Congress or the people.

Why do you think Chuck Hagel called for Bush’s impeachment if he doesn’t listen to the wishes of the people he’s supposed to represent or Congress?

This is one of the things that our Founding Fathers implemented in the creation of our country’s Constitution: They saw the inherent problems one person ruling over one country would present, without one or two more branches to keep him in check!

And while the Constitution does keep separate the powers of both the executive branch and Congress separate, it doesn’t give Bush unlimited power to do with what he pleases–while completely ignoring the people and Congress all at the same time.

This is not how our democracy was built upon.

Calling Bush on this critical matter means reigning in an out-of-control President who has so far had a complete disregard for procedure, law, and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Not to mention the 300 million people inhabiting it.

If Bush doesn’t like being called on matters of state, he shouldn’t have run for President, now should he?
