Mark this day and mark it well; the Republic of the United States died today. It was murdered in it' sleep by those tasked with protecting it. Yes our beloved Republic was murdered by her caretakers.

The vote to impeach Cheney has failed, and it has failed on the heels of the revelations of the findings of Daniel Levin regarding torture. We are now ruled by collaborationists and torturers.

Let us look below the fold for what is going to be the rest of a rather short diary

Having been dropped off VERY early Tuesday by the Road2DC crew, I am once more home in Omaha.

And as nice as it is to sleep in my own bed and being able to spark up a cigarette along with my Exxon Valdez sized mug of strong coffee and sit back and enjoy a reliable cup of bandwidth and scratch the dog behind his ears; I feel somehow smaller and discontented.

With the drone of EWTN on my Grandmother' television in the background and my dog licking my ankles I sit here and try and put my experiences and thoughts in order on what by rights should be a large event in a persons life. I apologize ahead of time if this meanders or bounces between the overly intimate and the coldly analytical; but the only way that I know how to do this at present is to just crack open the door and let my consciousness stream out.

Join me after the jump if you will and I think I will cross post this docudharma, and on Road2DC to help flesh out our little travelogue.

Mind the furniture as we take a walk around the inside of my mind.

This started as a response to Senator Feingold' diary... and it just grew into something that I think he and others really needs to read.

Follow me after the jump if you will.

In response to Agnostics fine diary here. I stand ready to do possibly the single most insane thing that a person can do on a blog:

Affix my real name to a virtual document. And I ask others to do the same if they too are unwilling to be afraid any longer of this Presidents version of our government!

I ask you to join me in a small, peaceful and revolutionary act fraught with potential perils in part to show our elected members of congress how exactly it is done.

EDIT: With Agnostic' permission I have amended the diary to include the body of his original.

to save the world.

Or a response to Cindy Sheehan' diary that was so long that it may as well be a diary unto itself.....

I am posting this in response to this diary: here. Please catch me after the flip. And I do apologize before hand as my style of writing tends to get a bit old fashioned in spots.

I am in a lot of ways a man a century out of time.

How I just can't sit back and let somethings pass like a nice boy.

I have been trying to put together a diary for the last couple of weeks, but have had no luck getting it to come together in my head. And that is one of my greatest problems: I am better in somethings reactively rather then proactively. Whatever "muse" that some may think that I have is definitely one that is a "don't call me, I'll call you" sort.

And so it was that I was reading OPOL diary here, when the phone rang.

I will include the unattributed post that elicited the call to start this off. I do this for a couple of reasons: 1. So that my diary makes sense. And 2. So as not to be accused of "calling" someone out, since I am most definitely NOT doing that and am only using the argument made by them as a general "laundry list" to reply to.

The action after the jump

This started out as a reply to Elise in the Lewis Lapham on Impeachment diary after it had started spinning out of control.

The diary can be found here: http://www.dailykos.com/... don't mind the carnage just chalk it up to people keeping their skills sharp and twitchy reflexes on their flame guns. I know that is what I do. But there are some very deep feeling on this matter that perhaps would be best served by approaching it anew and just a bit more openly on both sides. I have omitted Elise's initial post since I did not ask her permission to use it, which was kind of stupid on my part so there is some context missing...and I have done a little editing to cull the most glaring of spelling and grammar errors and neatened up a thought or three.

The stuff people actually like is closer to the end BTW.

Catch you after the flip.

This is my first diary, and I will apologize up front because I am probably going to be a bit sloppy on the grammar and spelling seeing as it is 6 am my time and I have about 3 hours sleep; I do beg your indulgence.

What compelled me to finally take the leap into diary-dom was this diary detailing the impending investigation and likely trial of Rumsfield in of all places Germany http://www.dailykos.com/...
