The House Of Cards Comes Tumbling Down

There is a new PM in the British house. This man of politics may not include courage in his repertoire of virtues but he does know a bad shtick when he sees it and he's getting out of Iraq. This will cripple the American occupation a thousand ways from yesterday and the beauty and irony of it is that Blair, through his own ignorance and blind faith in President Bush has managed to destroy his own party politically.

Do you know what a dog is? A dog is a thing that barks at it's master's command. It sits at his feet and picks up the scraps that fall from the table. Mr.Blair had been a dog to the acknowledged worst President in the history of the American super-culture.

We live in a more conservative time. All over the world, fundamentalists have taken a front row seat but by leaps and bounds they are being unseated, prosecuted, and placed in positions where they can harm no-one. If George Bush believes he can replace Paul Wolfowitz with Tony Blair as head of the World Bank then he has another thing coming. The UN is in a state of disarray right now but the nightly news is getting less and less positive to report on and are being forced now to show the real crimes of this nation. In 10 years when the information is released in it's complete form and the old bastards in their 70s who remember the 'glory days' of Reaganism will be a shade knocking at the door. The crony culture is a snake in a den of mongoose all waiting to snap it's head off.

George Walker Bush is a piss poor creature watching his political clout drying up one man at a time. There is no hope for his Presidency. Another terrorist attack will simply send him into another tailspin, burying his rhetoric even further. Many things are forgivable to the American nation. Corruption, torture, violence, hate...they can forgive all these things. Publicly displayed incompetence is not easily forgiven and the war in Iraq is beyond public at this point. It has reached a place where no PR spin job can make the American people like it and the attacks on it's opponents have been getting progressively more desperate.

Jerry Falwell founded the Moral Majority, the largest Christian evangelical conservative political action group in the country. He advocated banning abortion, pornography, and stripping gays of their rights to marry, to adopt, to have protection under the law against discrimination, and promoted a return to the days of public bans on homosexual meeting places. His family initiatives helped create the 'abstinence only' curriculum which is promoted in American schools and has led us to one of the highest rates of unplanned pregnancy in the world. He advocated banning condoms and STD tests, declaring AIDS to be God's way of punishing the impure. He was the leading force in the rise of religion in politics in this country.

Today the man is dead. I cannot help, in my own small way, but cheer and dance in circles. His life was lived creating horror, fear, and hate. In death I hope he learns the real meaning of those words.

What can be said?

I am not sure what there is to say at this point. It has been months since my last post. Lick balls.

I have had this unpleasant thought. Who is there to enforce the law on the President of the United States? What governing body is there that is designed specifically to place the handcuffs on a kicking, screaming, spitting, biting President and place him in the back of a pig rig?

Congress is bought and paid for. The Senate and House share a pathos against physical action because those people elected by the people fear the loss of power, even if the power that they currently wield is only the illusory silliness of quiet manipulation of an unchanging system. So, the question becomes 'If the President and his staff break the law who is there to put the cuffs on them?' Now in a democracy there is a secondary judiciary. It maintains a basic set of principles which the primary judiciary cannot alter. While flexibility is the key to any government there are elements which must be outside of the function of government itself. Our country is no democracy though. We are a republic. Democracy is an ideal, not a practical or intelligent system of government.

The current collapse is making itself seen on television every day. Children cannot find food. We will accept this situation because the alternative is violence. Not necessarily violence against the government or any particular group. I would like to define violence. I mean that a person places themselves in a position where it is possible they might catch a nightstick in the teeth. Violence is motion of any sort. Violence is peaceful demonstration but it must be motion and it must be en mass if it is to have any effect. Americans are not prepared to act with violence in their souls and peace in their minds. This is the character of the American coward.

The violence in the American public is spurred, in this day, by fear. Activism is a dead art else the President would already be on trial. That his Vice President can get away with ordering escorts, falsifying intelligence, committing open treason by revealing identities of CIA agents, and burying documents is stunning. So who slaps the wristlets on them? There can be no dignity for these men if they are prosecuted. A jail cell would kill them for it's sheer constriction.
