So if I am reading the prior posts correctly, among other things:
#1 We are not a nation of laws,but of men.
#2 We are a nation of but one political party, the capitalism party.
#3 #1 and #2 are true, therefore the United States is a totalitarian,fascist dictatorship.
#4 Dick Cheney recently verified that the American public's will and desires are no longer being considered and are essentially worthless.
#5 Having "manipulated" two consecutive national elections, voting is an exercise in futility. If the election process is a fraud, then democracy is a fraud as well.
#6 Iraq is one more example of the United States' documented history of taking what it needs,killing anyone in it's path and wrapping the genocide in the Stars and Stripes calling it freedom on the march.
#7 Since #1-#7 are true, America is a fascist nation, having the so called laws written and implemented by corporations. Having legalized bribery and extortion and calling it the U.S. Government and forcing the American public to pay for this form of governance or be jailed, the idea of freedom is no longer applicable. The correct name of this country should be the United Gulag of America.(And yes,the "detention centers" have been built waiting for the unpatriotic liberals. )
#8 Having declared torture legal and implemented torture as an acceptable and useful tool in maintaining said gulag, John Yoo should be appointed the Director of Gulag and Torture Operations and given a Hallibuton built office at Gitmo, complete with close circuit video to observe his approved techniques as well as his own button to deliver electric shocks to the gonads of 14 year old enemy combatants. As an added treat,Yoo will have a harem of American blondes to mistreat,rape and lock in Halliburton cages,link below.
#9 The American public, having willfully abdicated any responsibility for or participation in the democratic process and demonstrating only the greediest and selfish character, absolutely deserve the dictatorship they have and the coming economic disaster they willfully participated in creating.
#10 Having declared themselves powerless to do anything that might involve individual sacrifice or action to regain the ideals and dreams of the original 13 colonies, having by default not demanded the impeachment of Goofy George and Shotgun Cheney, completely deserve their current predicament. I stand guilty and complicit in aforementioned indictment. Our shame is a collective shame. The necessity of revolution is obvious, yet our hearts are asleep in the dim blue light of the televised hologram that has destroyed our minds and glorified the greed that has killed our spirit.

Oh my Eliott, thanks for cementing the image of politicians as stupid, self centered power mongers who screw everyone except their wives. Can we now expect Republican Senator David Vitter to resign as well for the exact same indiscretion? Or how about Senator "Wide Stance" Larry Craig but for the fact he likes to screw men in bathrooms? I thought so. Hippocrates are us, one and all. FauxNews should be fair and balanced about this...

Mark; excellent observation, after watching Alberto Gonzales absolutely wear out the word "consensus" during his mendacious and contemptable appearance, under oath, before the Senate Judiciary Comm., the word is gaining new meaning. The unfolding picture of the gross politicization, reaching to unheard of and unknown crevices everywhere Conyers and Waxman look within our government, is staggering. The hubris being uncovered is betraying new depths of greed, hateful deceit and narcissism within the Republican party. And it was all going perfectly until Americans finally woke up in November. We must all continue to press this fight.

Etzioni's comments reminded me of Professor Fouad Ajamis' recent appearance on Lou Dobbs. Ajami, parroting both John McCain and Dick Cheney, insisted that the surge was working and Iraq was improving by the day. Like Etzioni, both men comment with absolute disregard for political reality and how real world processes actually work.
