Heil Bushler!

I’m very sorry to say this Dr. Einstein, but there are indeed things that can travel faster than light. One of them is illustrated by the transition from “I don’t trust the government” to “we should always trust the government” when that government became George W. Bush.

George ran on a platform of opposition not to big government alone, but to government itself. Anti government and anti executive sentiment had been whipped up for years when the executive was a Democrat, but the song of the day is sung once again by former Attorney General John Ashcroft. The man who gave us “Let the Eagle Soar” is telling us to let the buzzard soar. President George W. Bush should be trusted not to abuse new powers granted to him by congress says he. As of today, we are officially a government of Bush and not of law.

Those powers of course consist of the sort of power only arrogated by tyrants and absolute monarchs; powers that wielded by an earlier monarch named George, resulted in the American Revolution. George the Bastard, as I’m fond of calling him and not for reasons of parentage, now has the power to declare anyone an outlaw and subject him to any treatment he deems fitting and all without reference to any principle of justice other than the divine right of George.

Fortunately we live in a country that recognizes the regular need for revolution and allows us the power to rid ourselves of those who occupy the Executive and legislative branches. With any luck we will have this last chance to avoid the imminent downfall of our grand experiment in Democracy, but we will need luck as the process of electing replacements is subject to manipulation. Only if we manage to thwart George the Bastard in his ascent to the throne by taking away the legislature from his control, do we have any chance at all of remaining the land of the free. There really remains no restraint on the Texas Tyrant other than his own twisted conscience. He has the power to silence all opposition and we just gave it to him in the name of freedom.

Tattood farm boys with W stickers on their trucks, blue haired ladies from Kansas, little children in pastel clothes and neatly trimmed hair, serious men of high sentence and TV opinion shouters with too much make up – to all the millions of smug and smiling people who support the demise of the American dream: damn you all and may the eagle soar up your noses and build nests in your empty skulls.

To the rest of you please vote as though your lives depended on ridding ourselves or the Republicans because it’s the only hope we have.
