Impeach the Decider

I've tried to hold off saying it. Mostly because, in this land of freedom and democracy, I am concerned about the lack of privacy on the Internet and the censure of those who express their heartfelt opinions. But I can't stay quiet any longer.

"The Decider," as he called himself at a press conference today, has to go. Along with the rest of his gang. It's time to restore some measure of dignity to the White House.

I'm tired of having a president who can't speak English. Past presidents have often been corrupt, but at least they were eloquent. If the White House is going to rob the poor to give to the rich, the least they owe us is a well-spoken leader. Not a college frat boy who sounds like he's coming off a weekend of heavy partying.

I'm tired of having a president who sees everything in black and white. With us or against us. What happened to a new frontier? What happened to nothing to fear but fear itself? What happened to of the people, by the people, for the people? I am so sick of having a foreign policy which resembles the old Batman TV series. The hero rushing to a crisis--when he's not playing the guitar or reading about goats--and the familiar cast of villains who, day after day, are thwarted in their attempts to gain control. Maybe if our president could speak English, or any other language, fluently, he would understand the nuances of life and government.

I'm also tired of a media which is enslaved to the White House. What happened to the balance of power, which is the whole secret behind the success of the U.S. experiment in democracy? The White House, Congress, Supreme Court and mainstream media are all beholden to the same master. Not one elected by the people.

Now they're beating the drums for war against Iran. It's Iran's fault, they say, that we're paying nearly $3/gallon for gas. Never mind that the U.S. has not purchased oil from Iran since the Shah was overthrown in 1979. Iran is an evil empire. Never mind that their president was democratically elected. They have no right to develop nuclear weapons. Never mind that the reason they're enriching uranium is for energy use, not war. And if they did want nuclear weapons, why can India and Israel have them but not Iran? All Muslims know the answer to that one.

This used to be a decent country. Some would say great. Now it is being run into the ground. Do the patriotic thing and push for impeachment.
