Yesterday the full weight of the GOP came out attacing "Liberal Democrats" who have an "agenda" to go after Rove. These very same people claimed that Clinton's sex life was a danger to our nation, rising to the level of impeachment, and now they claim that Rove's outing of a CIA agent was nonintentional, was only to keep reporters from publishing the story and so on.
So, when did sex become a bigger threat to our nation then treason?

There are moments in one's life that wake them up to what is going on in the world around them, for me it was the Clinton Impeachment. Though I had followed and been involved with politics before the impeachment, watching the whole thing unfold before me woke me up to the fact that those who were driving the impeachment were nothing less then evil.
Who can forget the day the "House Managers" stomped lock step into the impeachment hearings? Oh, they looked so somber, so dedicated, but what struck me was who they represented: an attempted takeover of our nation. These white men took their duty seriously, wanting to make sure our "government" was protected from the personal sex life of a president, they wanted to get to the bottom of a lie that had nothing to do with how our government was being run, rather it had everything to do with their hate of the anything that didn't follow their ideology in the same lockstep.
There was no doubt in my mind that those who were behind the Clinton impeachment were dangerous to our democracy, that those who shouted so loudly at the "rule of law" sought to destroy that law and instead impose thier will upon those of us who saw them for what they were.
And today? Today we hear these same people calling foul over the outing of a CIA agent who was involved with national security, a person who worked to make sure our Democracy was protected from that which might seek to destroy us. These crys of "foul" are indeed "foul" themselves, they reek as rotting garbage does, festering in a pool of power gone so bad that the smell of it is putrid.
Instead of protecting our nation, those in charge are standing firm by a man who has put his own self interests ahead of that of our nation. We see in Rove a man so taken with power that not even the truth deters him, no, rather he is assured that his president will stand by him as he continues to destroy our nation, our very foundation of what we are.
There is little question in anyone's mind that were this a Democratic President there would be investigations, hearings and yes, an Impeachment. Yet, over and over we have seen that this Congress, this administration cares not for truth, not for honor, no, they care only for themselves and those "like them."
Clinton survived the attempt on his presidency, our nation will survive this admnistration, yet in so many ways this administration has proven to be more corrupt, more dangerous to who we are then the Nixon Administration could have ever imagined.
There is something so basically wrong right now it is hard to even express the extent of what resides within our halls of government. More then ever we are divided by ideology, not fact. Those who support this president do so by convincing themselves of falsehoods beyond reason, they can do so because they are so blinded by the lies and deception of that which they believe. These people care not for fact or truth, no rather they wish to remain bound to an ideology which increasingly seeks to keep Americans divided enough such that the lies will continue to fog the reality of truth.
Our nation was founded by men who had seen what unchecked power and control led to, and today the GOP has become that which our founding fathers feared the most and sought to avoid.
If there was ever a danger to our libery, freedom and democracy, this is perhaps one of those moments. When those who tried to remove a sitting president because of personal issues now stand beside a man who has put our nation in danger, the very soul of our nation is at risk.
