Congratulations to all of us. We have won control of the house, and it seems as if we have a good chance of winning the senate as well. The question becomes, what now? The answer: It is never too early to begin thinking about some
long overdue justice.
Impeachment is the end game. A way for us to seek justice, a way for us to bring our country back from the precipice of a cliff from which we can AND MUST return.
Let's put aside for a moment the technical aspects of how we will begin this process. We all know that investigations must be started, evidence gathered, and so on. We all can and should be an intregal part of the process. However, we need to think beyond all that. We need to set the terms of the debate early: Impeachment, and only impeachment, is the remedy, our only remedy and our final solution to take back our country.
Make no mistake, we are fighting a war here at home. We are soldiers on the front lines in a battle. The battle to save our country. Ours is a war to prevent illegal and unneccassary wars based on lies, illegal wiretapping of our own citizens, torture, the gutting of our constitution, and so much more from ever, ever happening again.
For those of you who would question the political expediency of impeachment, for those of you who would claim that we must deal with "more important issues" while we have a chance, and ESPECIALLY for those of you who would say that impeachment is simply not a realistic goal, I say this: What sort of example would NOT impeaching set for the future direction of this, our great country? To tacitly permit crime after crime, lie after lie, the murder and torturing of people by the stroke of a pen, the gutting of our freedoms and rights, the shredding of our constitution, and setting our country on the brink of totaltarianism. I don't know about you, but to me impeachment is not one issue among many issues, it is THE ISSUE.
Can you imagine George Bush, Dick Cheney, and all the other lying murdering theives and scoundrels among them simply walking away in 2008 and retiring in places like Crawford, Texas? It makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it. It is, in fact, simply UNthinkable. We must never, ever allow their crimes to stand. We must take a stand here and now. We will never, ever allow this to happen again. Not in our country. Not now. Not Ever.
We are the ones who must now prosecute this war at home. And what we must seek is simple: Justice. For the sake of our nation and the future of our country, we must impeach.
