Clowntime is Over: The Last Stand of the American Republic
Wed. 28 December 2005

“…fat, sneering coward, Dick Cheney, who has crawled out of his luxurious hidey-holes to re-animate the rotting husk of Richard Nixon and send it tottering back onto the national stage. Through the facade of Cheney's pig-squint and peevish snarl, we can see the long-dead Nixonian visage, his grave-green, worm-filled jowls muttering once more the lunatic mantra he brought to the Oval Office: "If the president does it, it can't be illegal." This is what we've come to, this is American leadership today: ugly, stupid men mouthing the witless drivel of failed, dead, discredited, would-be petty tyrants...."

I printed the above just because I really really like his discription of Cheney, "...fat, sneering coward...Cheney's pig-squint and peevish snarl...." Great WRITING!

And it goes on....

"...It has long been evident, however, that Bush and Cheney do believe their clique should by all rights rule the country -- and that anyone who opposes their unrestrained dominion is automatically "anti-American," an enemy of the state. For them, there is no "loyal opposition," or even political opponents in any traditional understanding of the term; there are only enemies to be destroyed, and herd-like masses to be manipulated. They believe that their dominion is more important than democracy, which they despise as a brake and hindrance to the arbitrary leadership of an all-wise elite -- i.e., them. They are the state; a police state..."

Now here he is saying something that makes real sense to me:

“For let's be clear about this: only the Establishment -- the institutional powers-that-be -- can break an outlaw president. (emphasis mine) Millions marched in the street against Nixon and the system; whole city quadrants went up in flames in those days; but none of this was decisive in the corridors of power. (Nor to much of the American public, to be frank; after Kent State, after My Lai, after Cambodia, Nixon was still re-elected in a landslide.) It was his insult to the institutions -- the Watergate break-in of Democratic headquarters, the subsequent cover-up and subversion of the legal system, the defiance of Congress -- that led to his downfall. He pushed too far, tried to grab too much -- and the Establishment pulled him short…”

More recently than Nixonian times, witness the Million Man March, and the prolific anti-war marches across the nation, thousands of Americans protesting and demanding change. What came of these noble efforts? Nothing. So, this answers the question, "How Can We Stop Bush?"

The answer is, "We Can't". Short of armed revolution which ain't gonna happen, there is nothing you and I can do to get rid of these Imperialist Thugs. The Establishment itself, comprised of the Others who have some modicum of power to defend, some vital personal issues to protect, must stand up and defeat Bush.

The best that you and I can do is write our letters, our blogs, shout our outrage at any who will listen, and vote for those politicians who have the self-sacrificing willingness to go up against Bush and his Ilk.

Oh yeah, we might trying praying... a lot.
