Common Sense

"If the Congress chooses to pass bills that are simply political statements, they will have chosen stalemate. If a different approach is taken, the next two years can be fruitful ones for our nation."

-George W. Bush-

Seems George is more than a clown – he’s a comedy writer too.  So what did the Republican congress have in mind when pushing the flag burning amendment?  George’s attempt in his Wall Street Journal op-ed piece, to appear as a wise, circumspect statesman is a real stomach turner.  The different approach of course, is a continuation of the Rubber Stamp function of the legislature; an approach about as different as his likely escalation of troop levels in Iraq.  

A continuation of Borrow and Spend, a continuation of optimistic economic prediction and continuing to press for more executive power – that’s the plan. Destroying the institutions and infrastructure and livelihood and the internal security of a country and plunging it into civil war?  Well we just define it as a common sense approach because :

“when America is willing to use her influence abroad, the American people are safer and the world is more secure.”

If the new congress really wishes to take a new approach, it really has only one choice and that is impeachment – and quickly – before George W. Bush’s common sense destroys the world.
