The outlaw President on a roll

Our outlaw President aided and abetted by the Congress just continues to roll. News reports continue to report consideration of bills to legalize the NSC monitoring of domestic telephone and internet communication. What a shame. One more example of a Congress acting as a doormat for a domineering President too drunk on power for the country’s good.

So many examples of blatantly illegal activity have been admitted to by President Bush in recent times. Yet every admission is greeted by a ho-hum attitude from the Congress instead of the impeachment proceedings that are so well deserved. When will Congress find its backbone again?

I truly fear for the future of our country. So much damage has been done to our standing both internally and in the world community in the past few years. Generations of real effort will be necessary to reverse this downward spiral. The sooner we get to work the better for me.

Ours is a country founded on principles of freedom and justice for all, not just for the wealthy and the heck with the poor. Our freedoms are being taken away in wholesale quantities by the Patriot Act and various illegal spying activities. The internet is under attack and in real danger of becoming another commercial venture in which freedom of thought and expression once again may be subverted.
Where will all this end? What do we do other than sit around and worry? We take action, that is what. We cannot afford to sit quietly in our comfortable homes and let this happen around us. We have a societal obligation to work for the benefit of the country more than to the benefit of the wealthy and powerful few.
