Doug Seems Really Pissed Off!

Over at Capital Hill Blue I sense a little outrage. Now, I know a lot of folks out there dismiss CHB as being fringe. In fact they are so fringe that they alerted us to the NSA domestic spying over a year before the MSM, i.e. the NYT’s, did but that is just one of many stories for another day.

That said, Doug Thompson has a way of really putting the story into a coherent and concise narrative. And in the Bush Co. years that ability alone explains why he is on the No-Fly List.

Here is a bit of what he has to say:

Sadly, the President of the United States is a criminal. In fact, he should be arrested, tried and sentenced to life in prison as a repeat offender.

He is a war criminal who led this nation into an illegal conflict based on lies. His criminal conduct in the invasion of Iraq has led to the deaths of more than 2,000 American military men and women and countless thousands of Iraqi civilians.

He ripped the Constitution to shreds, ordering the National Security Agency, the Pentagon and other government agencies to spy on American citizens.

His administration trampled basic American freedoms, creating a police state through the Gestapo tactics of the Department of Homeland Security and the rights-robbing USA Patriot Act.

He lied to the American people about his close relationship with corrupt GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, claiming he didn’t know the man who raised more than $100,000 for his campaign and visited the White House more than 200 times in his first year in office as well as trips to the ranch in Crawford, Texas.

He ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to withhold information about dangerous toxins dumped into the air over Manhattan when terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center.

His vice president met secretly with the CEOs of America’s top energy companies, cutting deals that gave those companies record profits while ripping off consumers at the gas pump.

Bush’s crimes against the Constitution and the American people began the day he took office and continue today. Each day brings new revelations of abuse of power, evasion of the law and disregard for basic rights of privacy.

Under Bush’s watch, the fears of George Orwell became all too real. The NSA routinely monitors phone calls of American citizens. The Defense Advance Research Projects Agency tracks routine travel and financial activities of Americans. The Pentagon sends infiltrators to spy on groups whose only crime is disagreement with the Iraq war or the other Draconian actions of the Bush administration.

Now, Doug is really pissed off here. So are a very large number of U.S. Citizens. But as we all know: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are not going to be impeached. The House and Senate are GOP captives.

Exhibit A: We currently have a Senate that is so enthralled by this Administration that they are going to put Samuel Alito, who believes in the Unitary Executive Theory, on the Supreme Court. These Senators know that in doing this they are handing over their Constitutionally delegated powers to the Executive. This is a clear violation of their Oath of Office to defend the Constitution and the checks and balances our Founding Fathers so carefully crafted in our premiere legal document. And yet, they are going to do it.

There is obviously something in the Kool-Aid in Washington, D.C. and the President isn’t the only one drinking it.

I am with Doug here and I am, like him, REALLY, REALLY PISSED.

Now, go and read the whole thing.
