Bush to Nation: I AM the Law

"The democracy we love and cherish is at grave risk", is how BuzzFlash ends their commentary today, with deep concern for the Bush administration's total usurpation of power from a neutered Congress. Bush and his cronies are independently running the country as they wish, without opposition, chastising and prosecuting those who "leak" about their illegal activities, or challenge them in any way. In essence Bush says, "I AM the law".

Read all of today's headlines at BuzzFlash.

" Over the New Year's weekend, the Busheviks tried another rope-a-dope to get them off the mat. This time they brazenly decided leaks were once again harmful to the United States.

It's odd, because the Bush White House leaks all the time. That's why the Washington Post and New York Times are always quoting anonymous sources in the Bush Administration.

And Bush certainly didn't think his closest aides outing a CIA operative specializing in tracking the illicit sales of WMDs was important. He's still defending those leakers.

But if you leak information to the press that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Bush broke the law, then you are a leaker who needs to be summarily investigated and prosecuted. So, it's not the president who violates the law who is to be investigated and charged; it's a witness to the crime!

And we have to tragically laugh when Bush tosses out the totally fallacious notion (at the urging of Mr. Rove) that whoever leaked the story about the illegal NSA wiretaps was alerting the enemy and assisting them. This is so post-9/11 fear mongering redux. How does he get away with it?

Because the Dems in Congress, with few exceptions, don't know how to voice sustained outrage and demand the rule of law apply to Bush. When we say demand, we don't mean to politely ask the radical mob enforcers, Frist and DeLay, to investigate the crime. It's like putting Al Capone in charge of seeing who committed a mob hit.

But back to the blatant absurdity of Bush's public relations lie. Does one really think that Al-Qaeda members would not assume that the Busheviks would try and listen into their conversations? After all, the Busheviks had the right to eavesdrop under the FISA Court; all they had to do was ask. Al-Qaeda members knew this; Americans knew this; everyone knew this.

So, there is no truth whatsover to the leak about Bush's lawbreaking endangering the national security.

The only people it endangered were Bush, Andrew Card, and Alberto Gonazles -- the latter two who went to John Ashcroft's hospital bed to get him to agree to the illegal wiretapping, after the number two person in the Department of Justice balked because he knew that Bush was engaging in illegal activity.

So, now, Gonzales, who was an accomplice to the crime, is in charge of finding out who ratted on him.

And they call this justice!

It's a shameful violation of the Constitution and degrading to America to have such thugs running the nation. They believe they can commit crimes with impunity and intimidate the witnesses.

Just ask Joe Wilson and countless others.

This has happened so many times before, it's a bit tiring to see the Mafia dons still running the town and shooting down witnesses to their crimes.

But, in the absence of a sustained and unrelenting "push back" on behalf of the truth, justice, and accountability from the Democratic leadership, many -- if not most -- Americans will believe the Bush lies that they hear blaring from their television sets.

It's that simple. He may get away with breaking the law, again.

The democracy we love and cherish is at grave risk."

The Bushevik Liars Exposed Yet Again. It's a Daily Revelation of Betrayal, Deception, Law Breaking and Incompetence. Now We Learn, "The Bush administration does not intend to seek any new funds for Iraq reconstruction in the budget request going before Congress in February." And It Wasted Much of the Billions of Dollars in Taxpayer Money That Was Previously Spent on Allegedly "Recontructing Iraq."

Bush to Nation (and Especially Democrats in Congress): I AM the Law. Make My Day if You Think You Have Constitutional Rights. You Don't. The Founding Fathers were Radical Revolutionaries Who Overthrew a King Protecting Their National Security. I am the King. I am the Law.

Jonathan Schell: "If Congress accepts his usurpation of its legislative power, they will be no Congress and might as well stop meeting. Either the President must uphold the laws of the United States, which are Congress's laws, or he must leave office." 1/2
