The Hyper-Powered Hatter and his Obedient Tea Party
Categorized under Gobierno , Iraq the Casbah , Política Estados Unidos | Tags: Imperialism
CALL ME FRINGE, CALL ME RADICAL, say I see no hope in American Government and watch how (not) upset it gets me. But here is another crumb on a trail to the clearing in the path where the eyes get pried open by the imploding sun of entrenched neoliberalism and the way America do. Democrats may change some things. But they cannot excise the rot at the core of this apple. It runs too deep, and the fermentation, to those in power, is an integral layering twisting round the Sweet.
No, Mister Amato. She's not nuts. She's a politican. Same thing, but instead of a possessing an inability to perceive Right and Wrong, she brandishes a refusal to act on it when that would demand standing on principle at a risk to further personal gain.
I mean after all: why stop a war that was launched in error and has claimed over half a million lives? Why stand in the way of such a glorious thing?
Cynical? I leave it to you to play with adjectives. You can have my belief in this system when, say, these talkers actually unify, kill all funding for the war, and apply that cash to things that will help us here and the world, entire. Like peace.

She gets an F in civics, though. Congress decides about war. At least according to the framers.

Sad thing is she is a Democrat who was endorsed by Veterans' Alliance for Security and Democracy, a group who has spoken out against the Bush Administration.
And worse, she is married to a Marine Corps veteran. If we are to take her argument that the American people "should have thought about that before they voted for President Bush not once, but twice." I think we should remind her that half the country did not vote for him.
We are going to run out of troops and the only thing that is left to do is a D.R.A.F.T

the sad thing is i am not surprised by her sudden "inconsistency." it's part and parcel of a hypocrisy that will always be in place to maintain the American Style of Demokracy-Installation.
dont ya love the implication that voting for a president automatically endorses anything that person does for the next four years?
this is EXACTLY why people must understand that voting is NOT "doing something" to help their world, as thoreau made clear. it is but a symbol of what they wish to happen. onus is still on each of us to DO what we feel is right.

Pelosi's the one really pissing me off: 'Yea, my constituents have elected me so many times to Congress that I got the top-dowg job now w/ teh seniority, so I don't need to pay any attention to their desires, as I have LARGER political considerations (of the party) to deal w/ now . . .'
uggh

yup. that's the very same thing that i speak of. the people get played for the symbol of "voting them in" and then those in power figure out how to get more and keep it. what is actually and truly Right does not really figure in. or at least not enough.
