When are the war criminals and treasonous perpetrators of
false wars going to trial? The millions of lives lost, the trillions from the
treasury, the loss of national prestige, and economic collapse brought to us by
these thieves … Where’s justice?
Meanwhile echoing in the hallowed halls of the sacred Reagan
Library, Republicans applaud deafeningly the execution of innocents and guilty
alike in Perry’s gallows. Yet the true Texas crooks go free – George W., Turdblossom Rove, and Halliburton’s Cheney.
Cheney will never face justice, at least not in this life.
He'll die first of a bad heart, literally and figuratively. A stable national image means more to
the White House for all time than serving justice to any of their elite. [Is
that also true of Tony Blair’s Britain?]
How did Cheney avoid justice? Firstly, rightwingers are combative defenders of their own. Secondly, leftwingers will never pursue justice against high-profile opponents, much less defend
their own successfully against barbs from the hateful right. They
have no guts. Thus, America is caught in a vice between the brainless and the balless. Washington's gridlock is a manifestation of a
deeper schism in this nation. The historic fault lines are in motion again, and
we are all feeling the tremors. Gridlock’s victims are ‘We the People.’
The right is successful only because they are determined.
Like a rock. Plus they're full of religion, albeit the hateful derivative, which
fuels the movement.
The left is a failure only because it is undetermined and
indecisive. Like a wet noodle. Plus it has no set moral charity to
give its politics authority. The left has no religion, per se, just
an ambiguous acceptance, a situational ethical standard never certain.
The other side is a false cult. They base decisions on myths
set by skewed tradition and corrupt corporate influence. But fallacy is no
factor; perseverance overcomes defective product. It's proven over 4 decades of
American politics. Rove knows it; why don’t Democrats?
One side is based on facts and logic. But truth is no
guarantee to success in today's climate. Lack of tenacity defeats good
intentions. If only we had a Truman, Rogers, or Roosevelt leading the charge.
But we don't. Our leaders capitulate and wave the white flag before
the actual battle begins. There is no voice of strong reason, no one to
speak truth to power. (Anthony Weiner did but got caught playing with his. Democratic
leaders capitulated; rightwingers celebrated.)
We’re stuck betwixt meanies &
wienies.
We waited and waited for our Knight in Shining Armor to
rescue us from the Evil Empire of the Right.... only to be sorely disappointed
when that Knight turned on us in quest of acceptance from enemies determined to
destroy him (and us). We've been thrown under the bus for the sake
of an attempt.... an attempt to persuade the Right of its evil ways and
appeal to their better angels (which they have none) to come to the table in
good faith and compromise to achieve solutions. We told our Knight over
& over it wouldn't work. But he refused to listen. Now we're in pickle.
Justice denied will lead America further down the path to
decline. Failure to counteract the Bush era’s errors will certainly lead to
Depression, followed by fascism leading to civil unrest and a Third World
America. One evil begets another if not corrected along its stream. Obama has refused to correct; so, America proceeds down
that path.
