While it's nice that
some people are waking up to the fact, the GOP hasn't just "become" the party of treason.
Ever since the party was invaded by those (mainly from the souuth) who looked back with nostalgia at the racist theo-fascism of slavery, they've done little else but try to thwart the core values of the (former) US Constitution; those of democracy, justice, equality, opportunity, and meritocracy.
Let's review:
1968 - Nixon (using Anna Chenault) sabotages the Vietnam peace talks to deny the Dems the "success" that would surely have lost the election for the neo-fascists. Result -- 25K additional dead US soldiers.
1972 - Watergate crimes reveal the lengths the GOP is willing to go to retain and assert (abuse) the gov't power entrusted to them.
1980 - (deja vu) Reagan (using Lawrence Silberman) sabotages resolution of the Iran hostage crisis to deny the Dems the "success" that would surely have lost the election for the neo-fascists.
1982-1986 - Iran/Contra Arms for Hostages scandal reveal the lenghts the GOP is willing to go to implement their ideology in direct contradiction of the expressed will of the American People -- engaging in an illegal war in Nicaragua, funding by the proceeds from arming our enemies.
1992 - Poppy Bush illegally pardons his co-conspirators in the Iran/Contra criminal enterprise.
1994-1998 - GOP engages in multiple abuses of Congressional, prosecutorial, and judicial power in a failed attempt to depose a US President who actually garnered and retained the "consent of the governed."
2000 - (deja vu) GOP NeoCons (using Richard Perle) sabotage Camp David peace talks to deny the Dems the "success" that would surely have lost the election for the neo-fascists. Result -- replay of Vietnam in the Mid-East, over 2K dead and 30K maimed US soldiers with no end in sight.
2000 - Stolen Election I is perpetrated against the (former) American People with GOP minions at local, state, and high court level acting to thwart the well-known Will of the People of FL (by simple uncounted ballot extrapolation), and therefore the (once-great) Nation (by nearly 50 Electoral Votes - approx. 7 or 8 "red states").
2003 - GOP engages in the Most Heinous Act of Terrorism in history by threatening the (former) American People (falsely) with "mushroom clouds, in 45 minutes, from African yellow cake" should they not support an illegal war in Iraq and serial violations of the Geneva Convention Treaty.
2004 - Stolen Election II is perpetrated against the (former) American People with GOP minions at local and state level acting to thwart the well-known Will of the People of OH (reflected in exit polls), and therefore the (once-great) Nation (by nearly 50 Electoral Votes - approx. 7 or 8 "red states").
Betraying your country, wartime or not, for personal gain IS NORMAL for these thugs.
And unless and until the rest of us, through our so-called leaders, manage to ACCUSE, CONVICT, and PUNISH these Acts of Treason, the noble experiment called the United States of America will continue to slide swiftly into the dust-bin of historical infamy.
