Bush Monkeys

It was my intention not to blog this week and to take off and try to rejuvenate but things just aren’t working out. We went over 2,300 soldiers killed in action this week and we are well over 16,600 wounded. The numbers depress me but what is more depressing is the fact that the administration continues to parade their Bush Monkeys onto the talk shows to pump up the audience. They played the organ for General Pace this past weekend and it made me sick to see a Marine up there dancing to this administration’s ridiculous tune. You know the old things are “going well” tune. It made me want to cry to see such a sad sight. Well General Pace sir you need to peddle your snake oil to someone who’s willing to swallow it because I don’t think Americans are so willing anymore. At least another Marine was willing to tell the truth and Congressman (Reserve Marine Colonel) Jack Murtha came out to tell the truth and balance things out a little.

What really ticks me off is that as our young soldiers are fighting and dying for their country these slimy vandals of the Bush administration keep taking away our civil liberties and Congress doesn’t just keep going along for the ride but actually serves the vital function of performing as his enablers. No one on the hill will call this administration on their illegal spying and subversion of the FISA law. No one on the hill is willing to stand up and say that the “Patriot Act” is a flagrant violation of our right to privacy and is just another Bush power grab. No one on the hill appears willing to do their constitutional duty and put some checks and balances on this administration. They just keep playing along.

Let me ask you this Senators and Congressmen and Women. What the hell are our young soldiers dying for? Is it so you can sit back and let George W. Bush become a dictator? At just what point do you intend to begin to do your jobs? This whole story line is beginning to sound all too familiar. Are we, the United States of America, to become another Reich? Do you Senators and Congressmen and Women intend to just let things roll along until it’s too late?

It appears that Congress does not have the moral courage to stand up and say enough is enough and perform their constitutionally mandated duty of oversight by initiating investigations into the illegal activities of this administration. I believe it is fairly apparent to many if not most Americans that what this president is doing is illegal not to mention unethical and the bunch of ne’er do wells in Washington D.C. are sitting on their laurels and doing nothing at best and supporting an out of control executive at worst. Actually now it looks like Congress is trying to do something. They would seem to be attempting to make legal, after the fact, what was and is blatantly illegal. George W. Bush violated and continues to violate the FISA law and in my opinion it is not Congresses job to simply rubber stamp the illegal activities of the executive branch. I believe it is their responsibility to conduct oversight and review and, by the way having a subcommittee made up of the majority party monitoring a domestic spying program is not my idea of oversight but simple partisan politics.

Maybe Jack Abramoff Should have used bananas.

Those Are The Sergeant Majors Thoughts On That.
