When in the Course of Daily Kos it becomes necessary to post another diary, to stagger to my computer through the fog of chronic insomnia, and to assume among the ranks of Kossacks the mutual and equal station to which my addiction to mojo consigns me, respect for the reading skills of 93 percent of my fellow Kossacks requires that I should declare the causes which impel me to clutter up the recent diary list with this thing:
My keyboard and I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Kossacks are created seriously pissed off, that we are endowed by Kos the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Diaries, thread comments, and the pursuit of Acclaim.
That to secure these Rights, Screen Names have been instituted among us, deriving their power from the consent of Recommenders, -- That whenever any Diary becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of Kossacks to flame it into smoldering ruin or ignore it into oblivion, and to institute new Diaries, composed on such principles and dispensing insights of such excellence, as to us shall seem most likely to get some well-deserved and long-warranted attention.
But all too often, Reality dictates that we get 3 recommends, 8 comments, and a fast ride down the recent diary list . . .
Reality's friend Prudence dictates that Democrats should not be criticized for light and transient causes; but recent experience hath shown that Democrats are more disposed to bleat like sheep and suffer, while evils are interminably sufferable, than to right themselves by giving Impeachment some well-deserved and long-warranted attention.
So when long years of Democratic bleating noises, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a strategery to lay down and bleat like sheep whenever King George tells them to lay down and bleat like sheep, it is our right, it is our duty, to smack them upside their bleating heads until they wake the fuck up.
Such has been the patient sufferance of Kossacks; and such is now the necessity which compels me to pound on a sheep skull or two for the edification of the rest of the flock:
The history of Democrats since 1994 has been a history of repeated injuries and self-inflicted wounds, all having in direct consequence the establishment of an absolute right wing Tyranny over America. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world:
Blue Dog and Cheney Democrats have refused their Assent to withdrawal timelines, even though it is most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Nancy Pelosi has forbidden John Conyers to hold Impeachment hearings on matters of immediate and pressing importance, condemning him to issue meek and futile subpeonas.
Steny Hoyer has refused to support Laws for the accommodation of the citizens of this country, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only, because he's too busy kissing the asses of K-Street lobbyists.
Joe Biden has called together fellow Democrats at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from eyewitnesses, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into supporting his pathetic presidential candidacy.
Rahm Emmanuel has lectured us repeatedly about his brilliance, despite opposing with pig-headed idiocy Howard Dean's 50 state strategy.
Jay Rockefeller still doesn't know what the Senate Intelligence Committee is for; the country remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of Dick Cheney's Iran attack plots.
He has endeavoured to fall asleep frequently; delaying the public exposure of pre-Iraq war lies; while remaining oblivious to the consequences of these naps.
Democrats from every state delegation have obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing their Assent to Censure and Impeachment resolutions.
They have rejected Impeachment on their Will alone, for the sake of their bleating careers, while pocketing that blood money they call a congressional salary.
They have erected gerrymandered districts and send hither glossy campaign brochures to confuse the people they claim to represent into thinking they actually give a shit about them.
They have kept among them, in their Capitol Hill offices, Standing Consultants who haven't been right about anything since 1974.
They have been paralyzed by fear while Republicans subject us to seven years of BushCo lawlessness, and have been complicit in this Tyranny by giving their bleating Assent to outrage after outrage.
They stand condemned:
For tolerating the establishment and expansion of NSA spying on Americans:
For protecting these spies, through craven submission to Bush, from punishment for any felonies which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For aiding and abetting Bush as he plunged us into Shame in all parts of the world:
For watching in silence while Bush deprived us of the benefit of fair elections:
For complicity in the transporting of Muslims beyond the Seas to be tortured for pretended offenses:
For tolerating the abolishment through signing statements of American Laws nationwide, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for securing this atrocity called Unitary Executive Authority.
For issuing useless press statements while our Bill of Rights get torched, thereby abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For issuing further useless press statements while Bush declares himself invested with absolute power to be The Decider for us in all cases whatsoever:
For recycling their useless press statements while George Walker Bush abdicates all Reason and makes a mockery of what used to be the United States of America:
He has plundered our Treasury, ravaged our democracy, shredded our Constitution, and destroyed the lives of 3,444 of our soldiers:
He is praising the works of death, desolation, and madness in Iraq, unleashed in circumstances of Treachery and Deceit unparalleled in American history and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation:
He has constrained the Bleater of the House from even whispering about Impeachment, so his rampage of a presidency can continue to torment our friends and Brethren:
He has hired the mercenaries of Blackwater to murder in our name:
He has empowered Halliburton to rob us blind:
He has protected the insidious traitors who plotted and carried out the destruction of a covert CIA operative and her network:
He has empowered multitudes of Christianist nitwits to subvert the entire Executive Branch and turn it into the Commander Guy's Ministry of Commissars:
He has decimated the Department of Justice, which is still being presided over by the rotting corpse of Alberto Gonzalez:
Through every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned Democrats for Redress in the most humble terms, but Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by trembling bleating, a few hearings, and a couple of subpeonas.
This travesty of a president, this pathological Liar, whose character has been stained by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit for office, unfit for citizenship, and unfit to remain in this country he has shit on for seven years.
We, therefore, the Impeachment Kossacks of Daily Kos, on our Homepage Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name of, and by Authority of the good People of America, solemnly publish and declare that America, of Right ought to be Free and Independent of George Walker Bush; that he should be frog-marched out of the Oval Office he has desecrated, and be forthwith Impeached, Convicted, and Renditioned to some distant Solar System.
DEMOCRATS, Tell the TRUTH about this criminal!
Do that, and you'll GET the votes to Impeach.
KOSSACKS, CALL this woman.
Tell her to put moral courage BACK ON THE TABLE.
If Democrats won't lead, we'll have to.
We have a country to save.
Let's SAVE it.
