According to a gloating son of a bitch anti-Impeacher whom I will not identify yet by mentioning his pissing on a fire hydrant screen name in this intro, Impeachment advocates write Impeachment diaries so we can feel "warm and fuzzy" and savor our "self-righteousness." This isn't the only mockery Impeachment opponents have been indulging in lately, but it was the last fucking straw for this Impeachment advocate.
I don't give a damn if I get banned for taking civility OFF THE TABLE in this diary, if Democrats don't Impeach Bush he is going to attack Iran and we're all going to have a lot more to worry about than civility on Daily Kos.
Impeachment opponents here and in Congress know damn well America is being gang-raped by these Bush/Cheney thugs. But hey, looking the other way while an entire nation is gang-raped is a sure fire way for Democrats to WIN BIG in 2008! So just keep bending over, America! Just don't forget to be suitably grateful to Democrats on Election Day 2008.
Am I pissed off? You're fucking right I'm pissed off. Being called "warm and fuzzy" and "self-righteous" by YellowDogBlue for wanting to enforce the Constitution of the United States against these Bush White House WAR CRIMINALS is one fucking taunt too many.
You are one sick son of a bitch, YellowDogBlue.
Gloating Impeachment opponents here who mock Impeachment advocates for demanding JUSTICE need to take a long look in the mirror, they'll see a progressive without a shred of self-respect staring back at them.
These pompous asses lecture Impeachment advocates about facing reality. Well here is some REALITY they need to have pounded into their thick skulls. The Constitution is REAL. The authority of the House of Representatives to initiate Impeachment proceedings is REAL. The pervasive and ongoing crimes of Bush and Cheney are REAL. The massive death and destruction they have inflicted are REAL. The majorities Democrats have on the House Judiciary Committee and in the House of Representatives are REAL. The oaths of office they all took to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution are REAL. The moral obligation they have to honor their oaths of office is REAL.
You like reality, anti-Impeachers? Good. I just gave you a big plateful of reality to chew on. Swallow every bite. Try not to choke. And don't even bother bringing your "building a strong Democratic majority" bullshit into this diary thread. I have better things to do than refute "arguments" over and over again from damn fools who think Democrats are going to WIN BIG in 2008 by bending over and grabbing their ankles for the next 500 days.
The realities I just emphasized are the realities that MATTER. They are the realities Democrats in Congress need to act upon. The mindless anti-reality these right wing extremists have concocted and spread throughout the Beltway in order to immunize their war criminal president and vice-president from Impeachment isn't worth pissing on, much less accommodating, as Impeachment opponents and most Democrats in Congress would have us do.
I am advocating Impeachment because it would not only be defending the Constitution, it would be defending reality itself. Both have been under assault by right wing extremists for more than a decade. They seized power by distorting reality, they're maintaining their power by distorting reality, and they will never stop distorting reality throughout our government and media until their crimes are exposed, proven, and prosecuted through Impeachment.
Impeachment hearings and debate in the House of Representatives would be highly publicized, the evidence presented would compel national attention. Republicans in Congress would no longer be able to hide behind slogans like "support the troops" or "fight the terrorists", they'd have to vote either for or against enforcing our laws and our Constitution.
Impeachment would be a WAKE UP call on issue after issue after issue to a nation that needs to WAKE THE HELL UP before it's too late. Democrats may never again have an opportunity like this. They need to seize this opportunity to demonstrate political courage, strength, and decisive leadership, or be damned once and for all by tens of millions of Americans as craven politicians who will never take a stand.
Opposing Impeachment is unconscionable and irrational. The "intelligent arguments" Impeachment opponents and Congressional Democrats claim to be making all rest upon ACCEPTING AND BEING RESTRAINED BY the surreal and irrational political conditions imposed upon them by a pack of strutting right wing lunatics with the blood of half a million innocent people on their hands.
From a moral perspective, it is glaring hypocrisy to oppose Impeachment while claiming to be a progressive who cares about justice.
From an activist perspective, if progressive bloggers, here on Daily Kos and other Netroots sites, do not keep the pressure on Democrats to do what's right and Impeach, who will?
Their D.C. consultants?
Rahm Emanuel?
Joe Lieberman?
Nancy Boyda?
From an historical perspective, when is the last time Democrats took a stand for what's right and did not back down? People here who accuse me of being an attention-seeking Democrat-basher need to answer that. I've supported Democrats for forty years, I've put up with enough craven posturing from them to last me a hundred lifetimes, so you can all STFU about "Democrat-bashing".
From a legislative perspective, if there is no Impeachment, Bush and Republicans are going to veto and block bills for the next 15 months, slander the 110th as a do-nothing Democratic Congress, and will have a real chance of regaining a Republican majority in 2008.
It's time for a confrontation, Democrats. It's time for a showdown. It's time for Impeachment hearings.
I've posted Impeachment diaries here because I believe Impeachment advocates are the conscience of the Democratic Party. I believe that American democracy will be beyond redemption if this criminal president and vice president are not held responsible in Impeachment proceedings for the horrific and pervasive damage they have inflicted on our nation and the world.
If Bush and Cheney are not Impeached, a fatal precedent will have been set, unlimited executive branch power will be beyond challenge, and our last chance to restore government of the people, by the people, and for the people to America will have been squandered.
Stand up and fight for justice, Impeachment advocates. Post Impeachment diaries here every fucking day! I may not be able to, I may be banned for being uncivil. Well God dammit, there isn't anything civil about half a million dead human beings in Iraq. If Democrats do not Impeach the WAR CRIMINALS responsible for the deaths of all of these innocent men, women, and children, they won't deserve the support of ANYONE, this year, next year, or ever again for the rest of their craven, chickenshit careers.
