Call Out the Instigator
\nCindy Sheehan<\/p>\n
Call out the Instigator
\nBecause there\u2019s something in the air
\nWe got to get together sooner or later
\nBecause the revolution\u2019s here
\nYou know it\u2019s right!
\nThunderclap Newman<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not backing off. I tried to remove myself from the
\npolitical realm of the US, what BushCo is turning into
\nan Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George
\ncommuting Scooter\u2019s sentence (he\u2019s not ruling out a
\nfull pardon —and you know he will) has dragged me
\nkicking and screaming back in. I can\u2019t sit back and
\nlet this BushCo drag our country further down into the
\nmurky quagmire of Fascism and violence, taking the
\nrest of the world with them!<\/p>\n
I have sat quietly back these past five weeks as the
\nslaughter in Iraq sorrowfully surges along with
\nGeorge\u2019s bloody escalation—and as the philosophical
\nopposition to the war has soared to almost four out of
\nevery five Americans. I have remained silent when
\nSenator Barack Obama said that impeachment is only
\nreserved for \u201cgrave, grave\u201d breeches! Well, BushCo has
\ncreated hundreds of thousands of graves dug by their
\nlies and greed. For cripes\u2019 sake, George admitted to
\nbreaking the FISA Act (which is a felony) that also
\nbreeched the 4th Amendment to our Constitution that
\nalready prohibited illegal search and seizure. How was
\nBill Clinton\u2019s offense graver than George’s, Dick’s,
\nor Scooter’s? Did we ever think that the criminality
\nand arrogance of the Nixon White House would be
\neclipsed in our time with nary a \u201cbaaaah\u201d from the
\nSheeple in Congress?<\/p>\n
George has said that America doesn\u2019t \u201cdo torture\u201d when
\nwe have all seen the images of torture from Abu Ghraib
\n(don\u2019t believe your lyin\u2019 eyes) and know that hundreds
\nof people sold to the US Army for an immoral bounty
\nare incarcerated within the inhumane confines of
\nGuantanamo Prison which is right in our own back yard.<\/p>\n
I have had to bite my tongue—HARD—as the George
\nand Dick crime cabal, (formerly known has the
\nexecutive branch) have claimed that their offices are
\nnot to be held up to the same standards of
\naccountability and control as any other entity in the
\nhuman race, governmental or private.<\/p>\n
It has been recently reported that Nancy Pelosi said
\nthat impeachment is not \u201cworth it.\u201d Her faulty
\nreasoning is that impeachment would take too much time
\nbecause they don\u2019t have the votes. If they could
\n\u201cwhip\u201d their own Democratic caucus into shape to
\ndefend and protect our Constitution and the people of
\nIraq and our soldiers as they whupped, cajoled,
\nthreatened and browbeat the caucus into attaching
\n\u201cnon-binding\u201d time lines onto the last war funding
\nbill, then impeachment would not only be possible, but
\nlikely.<\/p>\n
The recent commutation of I. Scooter Libby\u2019s sentence,
\nhowever, was the straw that broke my camel\u2019s back of
\nexhausted ennui. Patrick Fitzgerald is a thoughtful
\nand thorough prosecutor who did a heroic job of
\nbringing at least one of the Bush Crime Mob to
\njustice. Even though we were all very pleased, we knew
\nthat it was not enough and that Mr. Fitzgerald would
\ndelve deeper into the feces infested executive branch.
\nThe lawlessness of the Bush Administration has reached
\nwild west proportions and the inmates definitely have
\ncontrol of the US(A)sylum.<\/p>\n
A very dear friend of mine, Rev. Lennox Yearwood of
\nthe Hip Hop Caucus, is being harassed by the Air Force
\nfor \u201cConduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman\u201d
\nbecause \u201cThe Rev\u201d fulfills his duty as an Officer and
\na Gentleman honorably by protesting Iraq and the
\nFascist Bush Regime almost constantly. The Rev is
\nstill in Individual Ready Reserve so the Air Force
\nbelieves it is within its parameters to pursue the
\ncharges, although every \u201cOfficer and Gentleman(woman)\u201d
\nshould be protesting the atrocious mistakes in the
\nMiddle East. After The Rev\u2019s hearing on July 12th, (in
\nMacon, GA) he is going to begin a \u201csymbolic\u201d walk from
\nthe Reverend Martin Luther King\u2019s grave (Atlanta, GA)
\nto DC—I am going to be there for him and to begin
\nthe march, but I am not going to make it symbolic.<\/p>\n
We are going to walk from Atlanta, GA to Congress
\nbeginning July 13th and ending up in DC on July 23rd
\nto send the mis-leaders back home to face the music of
\njustice in their own districts.<\/p>\n
It is about time us \u201cpeasants\u201d (in the eyes of the
\nFascist Ruling Elite) march on DC with our
\n\u201cpitchforks\u201d of righteous anger and our \u201ctorches\u201d of
\ntruth to demand the ouster of BushCo. I have a dream
\nof the detention centers that George has built and
\nfilled being instead filled with Orange Clad neo-cons
\nand neo-connettes.<\/p>\n
If Congress won\u2019t dig BushCo\u2019s political grave, it is
\nthe People\u2019s job to do so. Thomas Jefferson said that
\nwe need a Revolution every 20 years, or so, to keep
\nour Republic honest. Over 225 years have passed since
\nour last Revolution (if you don’t count the War
\nBetween the States) and we are long overdue for one.
\nTurn off your TVs, kiss your pets goodbye, bring the
\nkids and flock to the federal seat of corruption, or
\njoin us on our walk there, for a People’s
\nAccountability Movement to be in the face of the
\nCriminal BushCo and the Complicit Congress for the
\nlast week of session before they go on their
\nundeserved vacations (why do they get vacations when
\nthe Iraqi parliamentarians don\u2019t?)<\/p>\n
On the eve of our first revolution: You know it\u2019s
\nright!<\/p>\n
Author\u2019s note: Please, I already see \u201cAttention Whore
\nBack.\u201d If anyone thinks that I am going to walk
\nhundreds of miles in the Deep South during July for
\nattention, then please join us! We will be publishing
\nour route and plans for Accountability events along
\nthe way, within the next few days. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
