King George Must Go

I'm disgusted and saddened by the state of American politics. Instead of being the bastion of Liberty and Freedom, the once proud USA is in the clutches of a fascist president who was appointed by the Supreme Court. With control of both houses of Congress, the GOP has shamefully refused to hold their king accountable, despite the fact that there's been alarmingly many pieces of evidence.

During our last president's term, Bill Clinton was dogged by an independent prosecutor who essentially found no real illegal acts. Digging through dirty laundry, quite literally, Ken Starr finally was able to drum up charges of perjury through a semen-stained dress. Incredulously, the world watched as a partisan House of Representatives voted to impeach the President over consensual, albeit extramarital, sexual contact. Those same Republicans calling for impeachment were screaming about the Rule of Law violated by the Commander-in-Chief.

How quick we as a Nation have forgotten those clarion calls. Compare to King George, a man who admitted to wiretapping his own citizens, lead us disingenuously into a war that has killed or maimed tens of thousands of our young Americans, and whose administration illegally leaked the name of a covert CIA agent. Rather than citing the Rule of Law, Bush's apologists insist that we have more to fear from Terror than unchecked power.

Unacceptable. To the members of Congress: stand up for the Constitution and for our Republic. Have courage and punish this executive branch for their absolute corruption and cronyism. Impeach and indict the President and his minions for their Crimes against America. Such an act would restore America's credibility and give citizens faith that the Constitution, and not fear mongering, is our guide to governance.
