Tomorrow marks 400 Days of potential mischief left for the Bush/Cheney team to instigate
What's so special about the number 400? Well, it's the number of days left of President Bush and Vice President Cheney in office. On January 20th at precisely Noon, our next President will take the oath of office. The thing that is most scary is that this is still a lot of time for this president to mess things up in the world beyond repair. This Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza, let's all pray that the damage is minimal, not for our sake, but for the world's sake. And may we as a society all take responsibility for the fact that as a Nation we elected this incompetent, arrogant and dishonest leader, who condones the use of torture in our fight against terrorism, authorizes illegal wiretaps on us and keeps people in Guantanamo without rights for 6 years in some cases, to hear their crimes and be represented by an attorney to hear the evidence against them. These so called leaders do not lead by example but rather by fear and tyranny. They have done more to violate the Constitution of these United States and the Geneva Convention than any other leader of this country, including Benedict Arnold, who actually was found guilty of treason.
May history be precise and unyielding when it is written about this President and his equally dishonest Vice President for generations of students to read about in their history classes.

Hi Charles, thank you for all the information you are sharing on your blog. I have been trying to figure out for most of my life why the world (society) is so disfuntional and recently have been getting some more pieces of the puzzle.
It seems that our freedoms have been a comodity, bought and sold for centuries. Even now, a person born and registered with a birth certificate, is legally a ward of the state. We don't actually "own" our real estae, cars etc. unless we have the time, money and energy to follow the tedious procedures to becoming sovereign again.
As a teenager I battled with a way to be at peace with the unjust world around me and felt helpless to do anything about it. Luckily, I found an inner path, a way for me to find peace that I could then share through my contact with the world on an individual level.
I join you in your prayer that things do not get any worse than they are right now with our current "leaders" and thanks again for keeping me posted!
They leave office in 400 days?
But surely, Totalitarian Nazis won't go quietly into the night will they?
"They have done more to violate the Constitution of these United States and the Geneva Convention than any other leader of this country, including Benedict Arnold, who actually was found guilty of treason."
Tell me, where do you think the US constitution stands on the the mass suspension of Habeus Corpus (Lincoln)? Or widespread wartime censorship? rounding up tens of thousands of American citizens for the duration of wars (Roosevelt)? How about the first "Red Scare" in the early 1920s?
And where do the Geneva conventions stand on incinerating entire cities or unrestricted submarine warfare? (Roosevelt?) Burning down others? (Lincoln) There were few buildings above aground in Pyong'yang by 1951. (Truman) Blockading and starving entire countries, as in the Central Powers during World War I and Japan in World War II? (Wilson and Roosevelt) "We the People" did it to our own people in 1861 and called it the "Anaconda Plan". Mistreating prisoners, how about we take a look at what happened when U.S. troops took the Dauchau concentration camp. Press didn't focus too much on that one, did they.
I could go on and on, actually. From war to war, time to time.
The world's a tough place. We, of course, have and have had it better than most other persons could dream, even if we're often too spoiled to realize it.
Hrmmm. I don't remember 'comment moderation' last time I posted here.
Surely you haven't gone totalitarian, have you? That'd be too ironic, doncha think? (And, honestly, a little bit depressing I must say.)
They don't just deserve to be judged by history. They deserve to be judged in courts of US and international criminal law.
It seems that those that allow us to post Blogs which would include Google have added the feature of deciding whether we post a comment or not. I have always posted all comments except thos that use vulgur language. That practice will contine. So thanks for bringing it up here0, Suaron.
