Impeach George Bush
Evolution of a Nation
Just some thoughts. Maybe worthless, but still, just thinking. 200 plus years ago, every "nation" on earth was a dictatorship. A monarchy to be sure, but no one voted for those monarchs. Still other places on earth weren't nations at all, and had no "Heads of State."

They were ruled by councils, Chiefs, Medicine Men, Shamen...and assorted Czars, Kings, Queens and Emperors.
Then, in an isolated continent, some foreign invaders, believing they had some sort of "manifest destiny" to take and rule a continent that didn't belong to them, they took the land. They enslaved another people, harnessed their slave labor for their own benefit, then took the profits...they hit a single, stole two bases and came home on a foul. And they called it Capitalism.
None of the Founding Fathers would ever have dreamed of invading a foreign country to impose on them their "Democracy." Those men wanted to keep to themselves and build their fortunes without foreign entanglements.
Overtime, those monarchies evolved into some form of parliamentary, represented governments. And they evolved from Capitalism to Socialism. One rather large country revolutionized to Communism and it was determined to exports its government. The Russian Revolution didn't work, however. Nor did the Facistic Revolution of Germany.
Fifty years ago, some Americans believed they could impose our way of life on Viet Nam. Viet Nam proved intransigent. The lesson should have been learned. Apparently, it wasn't.
Today, for some reason, George W. Bush believes it is a good idea to export our American Democracy and violently and forcefully impose it on other nations. Beginning with Iraq, Bush arrogantly proclaimed his intention to remake the map of the Middle East in his image.
Like Stalin and Hitler before him, Bush will not prevail. In the meantime, however, hundreds of thousands of lives will be lost, millions disrupted.
Maybe its time for the US to evolve a little more. Maybe it will take a swift kick in the butt.

getting the frogs in a
wheelbarrow
jim hightower once said that
getting liberals organized was like carrying frogs
in a wheelbarrow. the time has come to do just
that. newt gingrich set the conservative wheels
rolling when he engineered their takeover of
congress, and the neo-cons and the military
industrial complex united to steal the presidency.
if we do not organize a united front we are all
going to be lining up to take a shower.
it
is the year 2005 and the rightists are winning.
every victory that they gain pushes them further
to the right and at the far end of this political
spectrum is the same fascism that that led to
world war two. the democratic party, like the
republican party, has been financed by the
corporations for many years. drilling in the
alaska game preserve opens the doors to the
corporations to despoil all of our natural
wonders. ballooning the national debt is an attack
on the united states. ending social security and
all other entitlements is an attack on the
american people. corporation control of the media
and the universities is an -ssault on humanity.
the bush administration is rapidly losing
the support of the american people. they can only
go so far before, like all fascists, they tip
their hand and show themselves for the bastards
they are. but they are organized and they have the
power of the corporations behind them. we on the
other hand are all shaking our own trees. every
progressive american’s mailbox is stuffed with
pleas for money for a hundred causes. we are on
the defensive and the republicans are on the
offensive. how can we take the offensive? before
we can do that we are going to have to get all of
the frogs in one wheelbarrow. amnesty, the aclu,
the sierra club, progressive democrats, the black
caucus, the labor unions, the naacp, the socialist
party, the nature conservancy, george soros,
michael moore, jesse jackson and yes--jim
hightower with his wheelbarrow.
what issues
are we going to concentrate on? for starters: the
presidential appointments of people who advocate
torture. we must insist that the perpetrators of
abu graib be punished—not just the grunts, but
all the way up to the president. we must insist
that our signature on the geneva convention be
honored. we must raise a hue and cry about every
lie that has been told to the american people. how
in hell is anyone going to save the whale when
there has been a bill of impeachment sitting on
senator conyers desk written by one of the best
lawyers in the country (francis boyle), without a
single senatorial signature. not from kucinich,
not from kerry, and not from that great liberal
senator kennedy.
first things first
amigos!

new yorker: at least that's what we had four years
ago. since then, our economy is in the dumpster,
our neighbors are less and less friendly, and our
workforce is less inclined to do a days work for a
minutes wages.
the military is clearly
overstretched and the national guard, conscripted
to pick up the slack, is unable to fill its
quotas.
any pride in being an american
is gone as american tourists abroad are now
pretending to be canadians or mexicans in order ot
avoid identification.
all of that to
cover up the fact that our american way of life is
anethema to world peace.

it's like that board game "risk". the final goal
is world domination. these people should just
relax. this country has plenty. we have hard
workers, a good economy, a strong military,
friendly neighbors to our north and south. what
are we trying to accomplish?
