Escalate Impeachment
Rusty
Progressives believe in moral leadership. Moral leadership inspired the patriots who took a stand against tyranny on Bunker Hill and Concord Bridge and Lexington Green. The moral leadership of our Founding Fathers forged democracy in America and endures in every line of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The moral leadership of Abraham Lincoln sustained Americans through the fire and fury of a fratricidal Civil War. The moral leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt guided Americans through the dark years of the Great Depression and the Second World War.
American democracy was built upon the firm foundation of moral leadership. But that foundation is crumbling under the weight of this criminal president’s pervasive lawlessness and deceit. That foundation will collapse, and America’s future will collapse along with it if moral leadership in Washington is not restored by the House of Representatives and the Senate through the investigation, Impeachment and conviction of this lunatic who calls himself The Decider.
We need moral leadership now more than ever before. In the days to come, we expect moral leadership from Democrats. They were given the 110th Congress to get our weary soldiers out of Iraq and to hold Bush accountable for his abuses of power and endless deceit. Taking Impeachment off the table is not moral leadership, it is moral cowardice. Offering non-binding resolutions against escalation is not moral strength, it is moral weakness. Criticizing this criminal president in press statements is useless, passing laws he will ignore is futile, removing him from office is the only option left to us.
Moral leadership is based upon seeking the truth, telling the truth, and acting upon the truth. This president is a criminal. That truth has been proven, that truth must be told, and that truth must be acted upon. If this president’s crimes go unpunished our Constitution will be rendered meaningless and our laws will become empty words, to be ignored by any powerful politician who chooses to violate them.
The articles in our Constitution and amendments in our Bill of Rights are not suggestions that can be accepted or rejected by that delusional son of a bitch in the White House. They were written and debated and ratified by the finest political minds in America over the span of two centuries, and are not subject to his whims.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that this president has violated our Constitution and our laws, that he has exploited the tragedy of 9/11 to expand his power, that he has unleashed a neocon war in violation of international law, that he has subverted our elections, corrupted our government, alienated our allies, betrayed our soldiers, bankrupted our Treasury, lied to us, spied on us, and degraded us.
Impeachment is the only way to restore the integrity of our political system and the faith of our citizens in their leaders and in our representative form of government. Impeachment hearings must not remain off the table because partisanship and hypocrisy and cynicism are so pervasive, they must begin because partisanship and hypocrisy and cynicism are so pervasive, for that is when the truth and the courage to proclaim it and act upon it are needed the most.
Progressives have been patient through years of adversity, but there is a limit to our patience. We have been tolerant of the failure of Democrats to defend our Constitution, but there is a limit to our tolerance. We have pleaded for Democrats to exhibit moral leadership, but moral leadership has been taken off the table in the name of political expediency.
We will bear the shameful burden of political expediency no longer. We must see decisive moral leadership from Democrats. We will not be placated by 100 hours of legislation, it is no solution to 2000 days of Bush White House lawlessness, subversion, corruption, calculated deceit, and dangerous delusion. Bush is not waging a war on terror, he is waging a war on reality, and his next target is Iran. The only way to prevent a catastrophic regional war in the Middle East, the only way to avoid more carnage and degradation, the only way to end our national ordeal is to escalate Impeachment and remove Bush from office.
Comment # 1 ~ TruthInAction ~ 11/14/2006 11:04 GMT Tahoe and Alma,
Thanks for that link and plea for Reed and family. Reed has brought so much information and insight to Soapbox and JCB. We truly do not know what we would do without him.
Reed-Buddy, my heart goes out to you and your family, and my prayer is that your situation will soon reverse itself.
Comment # 2 ~ Patriot ~ 11/14/2006 11:14 GMT TIA, I agree wholeheartely with your comment. Reed, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Comment # 3 ~ Reed31463 ~ 11/14/2006 12:31 GMT My family and I are deeply moved by your loyalty, caring, and concern. The fact that you have both gone out of your way to do this is overwhelming and shows us just how grand both of you truly are.
For a year and half, we have tried to find solutions for our personal situation and we have left no stones unturned. Along the way, we would find an oasis in the desert, only to be unexpectedly waterboarded time and time again. But alas, we have now run out of time. We no longer have any answers or solutions to our family's fate and we are near the end of our rope.
My landlord, who has been a saint, has allowed us to continue living here while owing back rent since August. However, we understand that he too has bills to pay and cannot continue supporting us as "dependants". In light of this, he has given us until Friday to make some remuneration before he initiates any action. For this, we do not blame him in the least.
There is a ray of hope on the horizon. I have one last interview on my schedule. It is today. It seems someone wrote the job description and requirements for this one while reviewing my qualifications. When I get hired today, (positive thinking), the problem of Friday will still loom in front of us. It is a gap we cannot close.
Flattered by your solace,
Reed & Family
