I know it’s not politically correct at this critical time in our country’s economic crisis to look back at the last eight dark years of Constitutional crimes but Treason cannot be ignored. With the release of the secret Bush Administration Justice Department legal decrees it should be apparent to even right-wing sycophants that “w” violated the very Constitution he swore to uphold. He knowingly chose to circumvent the basic tenants of the U.S. Constitution by committing crimes of violating the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments. He put in place the authority of the military to imprison U.S. citizens for years without any charges or evidence being brought against them and habeas corpus was viewed as a trivial inconvenience. Now we know why even the very conservative John Ashcroft threatened to resign and expose the extreme Constitutional violations that were taking place under the “w” administration.

In essence “w” and Dick Cheney secretly put in place a dictatorship that was not accountable to any other branch of the government or law. Knowing that the next administration would stop the illegal activities when they were exposed, in October of 2008 the presidents’ legal counsel (Chief Stephen Bradbury) abruptly issued a memo withdrawing the legal opinions. They had put in place unlimited presidential power and the Bill of Rights was suspended even on American soil. If you don’t believe me just read it yourself. It is out for public viewing thanks to our present Justice Department public servants. These actions are known as TREASON.

The media was and still is complicit in covering up these crimes but thanks to the ACLU the requests for the documents were shown the light of day. Obama does not want to pursue justice for these crimes because his plate is full trying to undue all the endless messes the last administration left for him but hopefully an independent counsel will be allowed to pursue charges against these criminals.

I remember when 911 happened and all the right-wing politicians and evangelists were claiming it was a result of our country’s sinfulness. Well maybe they should make the same claim today by saying our present dilemma and problems are a result of the past administration’s sins and crimes against the Constitution and American citizens. Endless lies and denials, needless wars, turning surpluses into huge deficits, hundreds of thousands of dead civilians, no oversight or regulation of Wall St, Enron and the Bernie Maddoffs of America; I guess Rev Wright was right on target when he said, “the chickens have come home to roost.” It’s a good thing we didn’t privatize Social Security eh? To top it all off Rush (the head of the Republican Party) and his ditto-heads think the public should ignore these facts and blame it all on President Obama after one month in office.

These same Rush followers practice revisionist history and ignore historical facts by claiming FDR caused the great depression to continue with his actions. To just scream “Socialism” and wish for Obama’s failure then whine about using the same old ineffective trickle-down tax cut voodoo for the wealthiest and false capitalism infallibility claims that got us into this situation, will not solve anything. You know Obama is now our “War-time President.” Can you imagine a large public figure wishing for “w’s” failure after one month in office? You couldn’t even question the last administration’s actions without being called unpatriotic.

Surely American’s have wised up to the lies, theatrics and tactics of right-wingers during the last eight years of incompetence. The drug-addicted, blow-hard Rush is an infection the Republicans must deal with before his vial disease of endless one-sided propagandizing spreads and they lose all credibility with regular working people. He is a multi-millionaire accountable to no one. He lies from one day to the next on his show and gets away with it because he controls the message and the microphone three hours a day. Countless politicians he has supported over the years have failed for numerous reasons. What does he do? He just turns on them (w) and claims they weren’t real Conservatives anyway then goes on to the next ambitious republican sucker he can manipulate and cower into submission and public apology like the head of the RNC (Michael Steele). You can never please a know-it-all opportunist like that. He has no real friends because he will sacrifice anyone to make himself appear correct and a winner. It’s all about him and his ego and there is no room for anyone else or opinion in his world.

Rush calls people who have lost their jobs or homes “losers” that need to be weeded out by those who have money because they are weak. It is the natural order of life to the wealthy. He and his ilk believe in social Darwinism and have no concern for the least of these in our society that are suffering under our present conditions. That is the kind of cowardly con-artist that is running the Republican Party. What a joke he is and they are for humoring him.

I too am suffering with a crippled 401K but I just don’t have any sympathy for all the corrupt CEO’s and bankers that have given Capitalism a bad name. They deserve what is happening to them but average honest working Americans don’t. Wall Street needs a good enema! Then hopefully they will put honorable people in place to run the institutions the way they need to be run; with responsibility, accountability to the law and integrity. It won’t happen overnight but anything worth doing right is worth taking time on. The age of overnight get rich quick scams are over. Do it right this time by the law and under the Constitution. That is what has made America great and we will be stronger for it. Give the President and our representatives your prayers and support.
