Prejudged George

'After a highly publicized trial, involving calm legal analysis in the courtroom (but vicious vilification outside), Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice," Snow writes in the op-ed. "In reviewing the case, the president chose to rectify an excessive punishment, and at the same time, the president made clear that he would not second-guess the jury that found Libby guilty. He believes it is important to respect the jury's work. The concept of judgment by a jury of peers forms the backbone of our judicial system. So the president left intact the felony convictions and two of the major punishments — the fine and probation.'"Tony Snow, explaining how great Bush's judge-crushing pseudo-pardon was
NOTE THE STRESS [my emphasis] on the jury part. Bush respects the jury. Bush hates judges because they represent a greater power than he, and bratty-boy bush longs to be the Supreme Lord Dictator Over All. Justices of the peace represent the Judicial branch of government, a designed check on Presidential power. And specifically to Bush, they must always represent the true reason he sits at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue at all. Not the will of the people. Not due process. Not elected. Not empowered.
A judge reached down and picked up the tiny man that will always be george "dubya" bush and plopped him down into someone else's stolen shoes. And no matter how many judges Bush defies or overrules, unless he steps down and abdicates the Presidential powers of his own accord—admitting that they are not rightfully his—his power can never grow larger than that of the Judicial. His power will always rest on a lie, and one not even empowered by himself. What power is this? His mantle hangs not, even, on the crook of a brave thief, but from the wispy, shameful threads of a loaned obfuscation. It is no wonder he thrashes about so. He has no confidence in such bonds.

I was watching a marathon about the American Revolution on the History channel and the parallels with what is happening today are uncanny to say the least. Leaders drunk with power, arrogant and misguided military leadership, bloody massacres, propaganda, the works.

George W. Bush is filth. He is by any reasonable analysis the very worst president this country has ever had. He certainly makes his father look good by comparison.
I read someplace in the news today or yesterday that the light has finally gone over the heads of the GOP. They managed to get a feckless, dry-drunk, AWOL simpleton into the Oval Office, in large part by energizing the Godbesotted religious right. Now, it appears that those same folks that they invited onto the tour bus are hijacking it. People I know, who have voted republican all their lives (meanwhile decrying my stance on voting democratic) are now telling me that they simply can't stomach any more of this insanity. Would that they had a better gag reflex.

George W. Bush is FILTH. This piece of scum will be worse than Adolf Hitler when he really gets started.
Bush is COMPLETE scum. A killer, a sociopath, and a LOWLIFE. There is nothing but human garbage in the White House. Bush is human scum of the worst kind.
America has been handed over to evil. Wait and see how many people are rounded up and killed.
It is important to remember that martial law in the US will be enforced by the THREE MILLION foreign troops that have brought into the USA under the guise of United Natons training programs. These foreign troops have no hesitation in shooting Americans. Many of them cannot wait for Martial Law to begin…so you can forget about Blackwater. Blackwater is the “Revolutionary Guard” of the top players in all of this. They are the REAL Secret Service.
The question of whether Dubya will and his neocon filth brigade will contrive to see the 2008 elections cancelled should be approached from that of Dubya’s own self-interest. In other words, what would YOU do, if you were Dubya? Would you really just stand down, and give up all that power you have deliberately accumulated, to somebody else? Would you step down, and risk all forms of prosecutions for everything from illegal wiretapping, war profiteering, abuse of power, and a host of offenses against the United States Constitution?
