Let's face it, the Constitution is dead. And nobody seems to really give a shit.
I mean, we have a President who, when he can't get his dirty minions to successfully pull off a dirty trick to get a critically ill man to sign a piece of paper to allow him to do something unconstutitional, just goes ahead and does the unconstitutional thing anyway, and what is the reaction?
Nothing. No reaction at all. In fact, we have elected representatitives who have sworn an oath to protect and uphold the Constutition instead screaming in our faces about how communist-style spying on our own citizens is necessary (even though it's utterly unconstitutional).
Now we have the same president appoint a "war czar". Completely unconstutitional. Does anyone bring this up? Does anyone of these jackoffs who have taken an oath to uphold and protect the constitution bother to say, out loud, "Hey! This is unconstitutional?"
No.
The Bush presidency has shown the world that the American Constitution doesn't mean jack shit. You can use it to clean out your asscrack if you want, nobody will care. Nobody will say a word.
These same elected officials who took an oath where they swore to uphold and defend the Constitution instead passed a law that completely got rid of Habeus Corpus (and I don't really give a shit if I spelled that wrong) and then screamed in our faces that it was necessary to "protect us".
And nobody said a goddamn word. I mean, we did. We who scream at our keyboards daily and nightly at the travesties that occur every goddamn day that this administration has been throwing kerosene no this country and setting it on fire.
And finally when one of us figures it all out, connects all the dots, and shows the world what these people are really up to, what is the result? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Silence.
In a country with a Constitution, there would be an UPROAR like you've never heard before over the testimony that Gonzales and Card went to that hospital room. That's all anybody would be talking about, and Gonzlalles and Card would be in disguise somewhere, hidden on a fucking barge, trying to escape the country and go into exile somewhere.
Instead, what do we have? Nothing. A bill that tries to defund fucking ongoing WAR CRIMES -- an illegal war of aggression -- can't even pass the Senate! Gonzales is still drawing a paycheck, having had a goddamn PROMOTION since the hospital-room event took place, and will resign if he goddamn feels like it. Or not.
I am ashamed of my country today. I have been ashamed of my country since Bush stole the election and the media fucking LET HIM DO IT.
I hope I do not live the rest of my days being ashamed of my country.
A "WAR CZAR?" A "WAR CZAR?" Why the FUCK isn't everybody up in arms about this, at the very least pointing out that this is UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Where the Fuck is the Congress? Where the Fuck is the Senate? Where the Fuck is the Supreme Fucking Court?
Can you just wipe your ass on the Constitution now, and it's okay? Or what?
I mean what's next? Bush decides to dissolve Congress? Who the fuck would stop him?
