I have a dream
11/08/06 09:49
My dream
is that the Democrats take their newly-recaptured
congressional majority and
do something with it.
First things first, they have to force preznit
dumber-than-dirt to start moving our troops out of
harm’s way and ultimately bring them home. Then they
can go to work on reducing the deficit, shoring up
social security, limiting executive power, restoring
the constitution and repairing our international
reputation.
As much as I hate to say it, tax increases are a must. Over the past 6 years, dubya and his backers have deliberately inflicted tremendous damage on our federal government and it’s ability to provide essential programs and services to the American people. They basically gave away the largest revenue surplus in history and the only way I can see to begin repairing the government is to recoup some of that revenue.
But the real dream, my own personal wet dream, is to see some investigations into, and punitive action against, the neo-con assholes at PNAC who got us into Iraq in the first place. I want to see newly-minted Speaker of the House Pelosi marching down Pennsylvania Avenue with a fistful of subpoenas. I want to see some people go to jail for lying us into a war of choice for no real reason other than securing corporate economic gain. I want every lie from every right-wing ideologue exposed for the ignorant, selfish arrogance that it is. I want a very public airing of everything that led up to the invasion so the American public can see it and own it and learn from it and hopefully make sure it never happens again.
Oh, and the guy who said “Every now and then the US needs to take some shitty little country and throw it up against the wall just to show we mean business.” I want to kick that guy in the nuts so bad....
