With one stroke of his pen, President George W. Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, thus ending over 200 years of American history.
According to the law, the CIA will continue to use interrogation techniques, just as long as they don't cause, which is deemed, "serious or mental pain." It also allows the President to pick and choose which parts of the Geneva Conventions to obey. By far, the most chilling aspect to this new law, is the elimination, the liquidation of Habeas Corpus.
Allowing for either George Bush or Donald Rumsfeld to declare anyone, a U.S. Citizen or not, an enemy combantant. Locking 'said' individual and throwing away the key without any chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. Everything that our founding fathers fought for and died for has been revoked under the guise of the phony "war on terror."
This new law clearly defines President Bush as King George.
And, the sad thing is, the only hope we have to escape the possiblity of being sent to a hellhole like Gitmo, is the honesty and sanity of President Bush.
Honesty and President Bush? Yeah, okay, sure. When pigs find their wings.
Sanity? Let me give you the comedy stylings of George Bush and something added special.
"There was a young man named Green
Who invented a jack-off machine
On the twenty-third stroke
The damn thing broke
And churned his nuts into cream"
This joke was a favorite of young Prince George who, according to a former classmate at Yale, burnt him with a red-hot poker.
So, the man who revoked 200 years of American history likes dirty jokes and torturing people? My, I'm feeling confident now that I won't be shipped to Gitmo after all.
The 109th Congress, the most corrupt in our nation's great history, essentially gave President George W. Bush powers befittting of an Emperor. We now have to rely on his good graces, kind heart, and positive mood.
Now, tell those to the people who were trapped in shit and piss during Hurricane Katrina's aftermath. They'll paint a portrait of a President who is completely, unaware of what's going on around him.
The distressing part about this, is the silence. The silence was like thunder.
Silence. Especially from the Democratic Party.
The only 3 who stood up and had the guts to speak out on George Bush's new shame were Senators, Kennedy, Leahy, and Feingold.
Where was Hilary?
Where was Bill?
Where was Pelosi?
Where was Howard Dean?
Where was the chosen one, Barack Obama? Oh, I forgot, he was in Chicago, peddling his new book, my mistake. You can't forget something like your new book. Screw 200 years of American history, I'm going on Queen Oprah's show to promote my new book. I'm sure she won't ask me about Habeas Corpus.
The Democratic Party, if they're to be the great alternative to the GOP, they must stop this silence and pandering to moderates, or else they'll never, ever win an election, nor win the trust of Americans who need a better choice than the crooked Republican party.
Furthermore, with this new law, everything that our brave men and women have done for this great country over the years, was now done in vain.
The troops in Iraq who were dying to make President Bush an honest man are now dying to ensure that their fellow Americans are being sent to jail without any chance to prove their innocence.
They're not dying for a commander-in-chief, but for the first American dictator in our history.
I've said before that Mr. Bush doesn't give a damn about the troops.
If he did, there would be no signing of this law, and of course, no sending them to Iraq for oil.
Mr. Bush, I can't ask question if you have any shame at all, cause clearly you don't.
History will look at you as the worse President ever. But, importantly, in my book, you should go down as the biggest stain in our country's history.
Today's is America's greatest shame. We're all under surviellance by King George, and pretty soon the powers that be will come knocking on our door and ship us to that wonderful place we call "Gitmo."
See you soon.
