After Reading the Key West Citizen

I Vote To Impeach

Yes, it is late in the second term of President G.W. Bush, so why not just let him go peaceful into history? Let him and his puppet master Lord Vice President Cheney end their despicable terms and be done with them.

Why not? Why let a pack of jackals loose on the animal kingdom and not regret the carnage they do?

It is a little something called justice. Justice for us. We Americans have had to shiver in the dark as one after another freedom was taken away from us in the name of ultimate security. Security from what? The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the American Dream?

We watched as an effective President was called to impeachment because he lied about getting a blow job. We watch as an ineffective President takes us to war with an invisible enemy and lets thousands die in his name. Lets billions be squandered and sloughed to his cronies. Yet we don’t act.

No longer are we the envy of the world. We are the pariah. Every where we go we bring death. We are concerned only with our own survival. We will harm anyone to defend ourselves against the slightest imagined insult. We will aid not one, no matter how needy, that doesn’t meet our prerequisite for our own national security.

If we continue down this road of selfish nationalism, we will no longer be the leader of the free world. Rightfully so, we may be the embarrassment of the world. To squander so much, to hurt so many, in the name of so few is a disgrace.

In eight short years we have allowed ourselves to be led by the nose as pigs to slaughter of the fattened. Don’t let this continue. I don’t know if it is too late. I can only hope that the return of America to a nation of laws and freedom and peace can restore our souls and once again make us whole with the world.
