THE BUSH REGIME
In the early years of the Bush regime as he schemed and dreamed of creating a dictatorial one party power those who compared him with the evil leaders of the past were blasted as unpatriotic, idiotic and a bit psychotic. How could we possibly see any similarity between King George the First and the masters of the master race?
They were neither right nor wrong, depending on their point of view, and what they knew to be true. But let's be fair. To compare George to Adolph is a little off the wall. After all, Hitler was a bitter man who hung on till all his chips ran out. There's not a similarity between that kraut and a Texas good old boy. Or is there?
Hitler lacked the facts when he attacked. He lied and ruthlessly twisted truth. He defied all critics, committed crimes and ignored all laws that interfered with his cause just because he was who he was. His leadership was illogical, but then he, like others of his ilk, was a pathological, diabolical egotist. Need I continue the list? In a nutshell, that's what history tells about not just Hitler but all dictators or dictator wannabees.
Now take a look at the White House crook, itemized in prose, not rhyme:
BUSH asserted the right not to comply with 750 laws passed by Congress because they contradict his "interpretation" of the Constitution.
BUSH has never vetoed a bill which would give Congress the right to override. He signs them into law, then nullifies their power by filing a "signing statement" which is buried in the federal register which is seldom read. This president has virtually vetoed the veto.
BUSH reserves the right to ignore rights for humane treatment of detainees under the Geneva Convention.
BUSH claims the right to nullify laws assuring federal employee whistle blowers job protection,
BUSH has violated various federal laws approved by Congress long before his election. One deals with his domestic spying program which violates a surveillance law passed more than 30 years before he was elected.
BUSH actions call into question the validity of whether there is a "rule of law " and threatens to overturn the concept of constitutional law.
BUSH, as commander in chief, has stripped Congress of its Constitutional powers regarding the military an has rendered these powers unto himself.
BUSH has virtually robbed Congress and the courts of their rights and responsibilities. The final result could be a government where the president and only the president become a court of last resort.
This bit of Bush logic sums up the dictatorial attitudes and possible intent of the present precedent-setting president: "I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel I owe anybody an explanation."
P.S.: Getting rid of Bush and Republican rule will not repair the damage already done by a potentially democracy turned dictatorial land of the free and home of the brave. (For a complete history of the BUSH POWER GRAB just "Ask Google.")
