Still trying to understand why bush can ignore the law, but we can't.

[Philosoraptor]

I'm still trying to wrap my little mind around the fact that bush can stand up there and piss on the constitution and laws of the land and get away with it, while we the serfs out here are imprisoned over the slightest infraction.

I'm still trying to understand how this man and his handlers are not being brought up on charges of all types, war profiteering, lying us into wars, hiding the truth about nine eleven, robbing the treasury blind right in front of our eyes and engaging in just about every illegal activity one can imagine, and we are sitting here whining about it.

I want to break some laws too, do I have to get into politics?

1. Well, politicians do seem to have an edge in lawbreaking

in my opinion, but you must recall that * is the "decider". So it's just part of that job. It's tough trying to remember what all those signing statements said and that Constitution, well that really just is a suggestion, isn't it?

2. Why?

Because God speaks directly to him, not us and because we're the unwashed heathens. That's why.

3. Pres. Karr: "what's a guy gotta do to get arrested around here"?

bush is like john 'i killed jonbenet' karr, he confesses to all sorts of horrors but no one will take him seriously and arrest him.

5. Nowadays, the difference between a criminal who gets away with it

...and a criminal who doesn't IS their politics.

6. Here it is-

The rule of law is a liberal concept.

We live in a liberal democracy--the definition of a democratic republic.

The rule of law is the second essential ingredient, free, fair and open elections being the first, of a liberal democracy.

Neoclowns want nothing to do with anything that smacks of the dreaded "liberal" tag, so they hate the country we live in, the reality we live by, the laws we institute to preserve order, and the whole idea that we are all responsible for ourselves AND everyone else. (Shudder--what a liberal concept!)

Because of all that, the criminal cabal do not feel that they belong here, that they are subject to our laws, or that they are actually responsible or accountable for anything. The only way they actually could belong here is if they totally change "here" and make it into their own idea of a utopia: a dystopia for us. Their utopia has them owning everything and responsible for nothing; above the law.

Because they do fear that we might overpower them and hold them responsible, they do go through some motions and try to find all the excuses and tricks they can to cheat, delay, throw us of the track, put a thumb on the scales, etc.

It'll take a while to nail 'em, but nail them we will, unless they die before we manage to put them in prison.

7. Because he's the decider.

8. Because Congress Will Let Him?

Our "Neville Chamberlain" Congress has the right and the duty to deal with this by impeachment.

"He had a choice between war and dishonor; he chose dishonor, and got war." - Winston Churchill, referring to Neville Chamberlain

9. Who says we can't?

I break laws all the time and so do you. It's built into the system. Laws are passed every fucking day that are designed to criminalize entire swaths of society, and we all break them without thinking about it. I say fuck the entire quaint notion of "Law" and just do the right thing. Kinda like what the Bush Crime Family is doing, except they've chosen to do the wrong thing. It's OK, because we'll get them in the end...
