A real patriot.
"So what does he hope to achieve by advocating for impeachment? A new president? A Democrat in 2008? DeWalt laughs long and low.
'If we get a Democrat, so what? If we get Hillary Clinton she'll increase troop strength. We have been somnambulant as a people probably since the 50s. War World II is over, everyone breathes a great sigh of relief and goes shopping; 9/11 comes and Bush says go shopping. My hope is not electing some Democrats, my hope is in the people finally going, 'Oh my god, while I've been shopping everything has been falling apart around me. I need to do something.' Luckily, our politicians are spineless enough that if the people really spoke with one voice, they'd listen. So I really have my hope in the population of the United States taking a moral stand on what's right and what's wrong.' "
From an interview of Dan DeWalt, selectman in Newfane, Vermont and author of a town meeting resolution, which Newfane voters passed 121-29, calling for the impeachment of Bush, in part because he "used falsehoods to lead our nation to war."
Mr. DeWalt is correct. The only hope for meaningful, and radical, change lies with the people.
If Bush is not impeached, then future Presidents can confidently break the law with impunity. If Bush is not impeached, the despicable tradition of U.S. Presidents lying this country into war will be burnished beyond redemption. If Bush is not impeached, then think: what direct action can I take against a federal government that is lawless, despotic and destructive beyond belief? that literally throws away trillions of dollars while ignoring the huge problems that confront us and if not addressed will undo us? The rule of Bush has convinced me that the Freemen have got it right. |
