To all my wonderful readers, I am providing a handy guide for reading my articles.
First, for the English challenged, I use a spell check, in WORD, on the postings, not the comments. All commas, quotes, and exclamation marks, despite their frequency, are correct.
Second, for the Neo Con disabled, the following definitions are provided:
Invade(er)- To enter for conquest or plunder
To encroach upon: infringe
To spread over or into as if invading: permeate.
To trespass.
Patriot- one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests.
Authority- a: grounds-warrant
Terrorism - the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
Freedom Fighter- is a relativistic local term for those engaged in rebellion against an established government that is held to be oppressive and illegitimate. Historically these people tend to be called assassins, rebels, or terrorists by their foes.
So, I hope that this little English lesson has been helpful to supporters and critics, as well.
And, by the way, I am not a Patriot, as long as the likes of the Bush administration, are in office. And as a sidebar, I am also a Registered Republican. Just check my shorts.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY
This is not your ordinary Memorial Day Greeting. This is not to thank the many people who have given their lives to have kept our country free, although that is the point of the holiday.
It is also not to thank the leaders of our country.
It is to remind us that despite the glorious and victorious battles that have been fought, and won, in the name of freedom, in the past, we can no longer celebrate that, whose death has no point, no glory, or any foreseeable end.
There are approximately 2730 men and woman, on this day that have given their lives, as INVADERS, making them no better than Germany, going into Poland. They gave their lives for a LIE that was perpetrated by greed, and family business interests. Their deaths mean nothing. No parade, no medals, no sense, NOTHING!
If you’re angry at this, you should direct your anger at those who supported this government in their exploitation of those who have died. If you supported it, after hearing the protesters, after reading the web articles, and after voting Republican, then you are as much at fault, as the government. After all, no political party or idea can survive, without their supporters.
YOU listened to the lies by Colin Powell. YOU listened to the lies by Don Rumsfeld. And, YOU listened to the lies told by George Bush. YOU not only believed them then, but YOU still do, despite no WMD’s, despite no threat from Saddam, and despite the thousands of articles that tell the truth, as opposed to CNN, FOX, and all the rest.
And now? You believe that we couldn’t torture prisoners, despite pictures and interviews. You believe that a Religious Book couldn’t be defaced, in a prison. You also believe that all the problems, in the Middle East are going to be solved by dumping Billions of dollars into a country, where the American contractors are looting the budgets.
So, lets all celebrate Memorial Day this year, by realizing these mistakes, correcting them with a unilateral withdrawal from ALL countries, and by impeaching the pResident of the United States. You have the power, as the Constitution states in Article 2, Section 4. “The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
So, go watch you’re parades, flower the graves, and get drunk as usual. Someday, we may even in an honorable position to celebrate the holiday, as it was meant to be.
Everyday, more and more Americans become dissatisfied with their government. It seems to be one thing after another. A war we have no business being in. Another war on the horizon to distract us from the current one. Crooked politicians, the numbers that even by Watergates Standards are phenomenal, over priced fuel, from over profitable corporations and on and on. Republican, Democrat…..they’re all the same.
But there is hope. Our own constitution gives you and me the power to take back the government. Keep in mind that this was written when Pitch Forks and Shovels were popular tools to resolve differences. The means we would use now is why the NRA is barely holding on.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
What this doesn’t say is go to the polls and vote another group of liars and thieves into office.
We must take our lives into our own hands and do it now. 2008 won’t make any difference as the way things are going, there may not be an election that year.
I’m sory that DamSpots World has been running a little thin lately. I am having problems with my health and the doctors can’t seem to agree what the problem is, even though it is well within their field of expertise. So between the misdiagnoses, the tons of pills I am taking and the fact that I am becoming more depressed everyday, I have chosen to sit back from writing for a short while.
I promise I’ll be back.
