You would think that there would be a popular uprising by now. After
all,
in The American Revolution, if G. Washington, B. Franklin, T. Jefferson
et al.
had not won, they would have been executed as traitors. They had had
enough,
and overthrew the king. Many of them were comfortable already,
financially.
But they were not satisfied. They craved independence.
Many who support (or did support) Bush and Cheyney know that they have
lied and
misled their people. However, they are still comfortable, no obvious
break-points have been
reached, and as long as things can limp along a while longer, they ARE
satisfied.
Independence? Who cares?
Indifference and complacency rule,  as they did in ancient Cambodia, as
they did in the
corrupt days at the end of the Roman Empire, as they did in Czarist
Russia, and
many other times and places.
All an intelligent person can do is to sound the alarm, keep sounding
it, and point out
workable alternatives.
Many legislators are working right now to slow down and mitigate the
damage that this administration is doing. Right now this admin. is
trying to change basic
Senate rules to turn the Senate into a rubber stamp, and, along with
radical judicial
appointments, completely undermine the basic constitutional premise of
"checks and
balances" meant to keep each branch of the Fed. Gov't independent, and
to prevent a dictatorship.
Support the Senators doing this, like Sen. Leahy, Sen. Biden, Sen.
Kennedy, and others.
The radicals are going for the gold, intending to forever subvert the
basic legal foundations
of our government.
Or the Capitol will be Ankor Wat.
