How is it that the country tried to impeach Clinton for his perjury concerning his sex scandal...
But our current president, who has pretty much blatantly disregarded laws, responsibilities, and restrictions concerning his office, still sits smiling dumb and pretty in his white house?
How is it that we let these corrupt billionaires take control of our country... OUR country... And how can we expect a respectable government to be run by unrespectable men?
Why do we allow ourselves to be lied to over and over again? Even when we learn that we have been violated by this administration, we do nothing. Even when we learn that justice and freedom have been forsaken, we do not react.
How is it that we have allowed this man to rule us? We are supposed to be a democracy. WE are supposed to make the decisions... And yet, even the beginnings of this regime, the usurpation of power was suspect, with underhanded tactics and scandals quietly ignored by the majority?
We sit quietly. Are we complacent? Do we not care?
Or have we forgotten that it is our responsibility to shout down the overambitious ruler?
Have we fallen to trusting our representatives, who buffer us from the responsibility of true democracy?
Or have we (and I fall in this last category) given up hope of influencing these men who speak for us in the larger houses of the government?
It does not seem like it should matter... Whatever the cause of our silence, the real question is this: How do we find our voice again? How do we speak out and make a difference?
Bush has over 530 days left in office. That's a year and a half-- more than a third of his final term. I don't think he should be trusted with that much time, and that much power. Imagine the damage that could be done. Think of how many more men will die face down in the sand, how many billions of dollars will be thrown away because we let aman who has consistently shown a lack of intelligence, conscience, and responsibility in the management of this country.
Any other man would be in jail... We tried to prosecute Clinton for lying about cheating on his wife. Bush took us to war. WAR, people! Guns and bombs and body parts.
Why the fuck is this country still asleep?
It is time for us to start pushing the senators to bring down Caeser.

Is it bad that I am honestly frightened of retaliation, should I fill out this form?
