Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: a granny speaks her mind To Senator Reid Submitted by DTouse on Sun, 08/05/2007 - 7:22pm. [for what it's worth] --------------- Dear Senator Reid, You will have to forgive my lack of tact and civility. There are simply no words available that can adequately express my utter DISGUST...CONTEMPT...RAGE for the COWARDS who call themselves Democrats and what pathetically passes for leadership. Time and time again you have had the opportunity to stand up to the tyranny of George W Bush and his Senate Thugs who crow throughout the senate like castrated roosters...yet still intimidate the Chicken Little democrats who at every confrontation - cower and walk away stating how valiantly they fought...and will do even better... the Next time. America has seen more Democratic next times than they have turned corners of success in Bush's Baghdad! Time and time again we have tried to rationalize:...at least they are trying! No more... This time YOU SOLD OUT AMERICA ...FOR WHAT ??? Millions of Americans fought hard to vote in a Democratic majority - confident with a majority they would at least find enough collective courage to simply say NO! We spent more money and more time than we had to spend because we love our country and truly fear for its survival as a democracy rooted in the Rule of Law. Foolishly we assumed whomever we fought to elect would actually represent OUR expressed interests. But yet again you VOTED to make Bush's RULE become LAW! You have become even sorry excuses for QUISLINGS! There is little doubt the List of Cowards will soon be published on the net. Those who are up for re-election will...and Should - be targeted for replacement. Failing any viable primary challenge, hopefully America will turn to credible Green Party or other third party candidates who can at minimum present an image of Integrity! I would highly recommend the Senate spend their recess time "In Search Of"... COURAGE! I would further suggest when the caucus returns in September you hire an Assertiveness Training consultant. Failing that, consider contracting a team of Orthopedic Surgeons to implant Senate Spines. In the sad event you still don't "get it".... AMERICA HAS HAD ENOUGH! STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR AMERICA! IMPEACH GONZALES IMPEACH CHENEY IMPEACH BUSH REPEAL TAX CUTS AND REBUILD AMERICA END THE DAMN WAR How I wish there was some positive way to conclude this message. I am sorry...there simply is not. We in the homes of America will continue to fight for what we cherish...because we have no choice! Perhaps if you look real hard, you can find some easy way to support SEVENTY+ PERCENT of the American People! By way of a personal note, I turned on my computer today to shop for belated birthday gifts for my grandchildren who will be able to visit for one day this month while my son is on a short leave from his naval assignment in Italy. Both he and his wife served three tours each of the Persian Gulf prior to the attack on Iraq. You remember that - the second time the Senate Democrats caved to Bush intimidation... But then I saw the headines that Senate Democrats again threw in the towel on FISA...THE 4th Amendment...the Constitution. NOTHING is more important to me than my family. Like most American parents since 1776, I had little to pass on to my heirs beyond a glorious America that was just a little bit better...a bit more noble...more just. For the first time in history that is no longer possible. They are forced to live in a nation that surrendered the right of Habeas Corpus... foolishly thinking that made them more secure. They live in a nation that has now institutionalized "cruel and unusual punishment" in the form of torture as acceptable. My grandchildrens' most private communications and records are now the province of an unseen unknown government. Their friends, neighbors, relatives - even ol' Gramps - can be whisked off in the dark of night without cause...without charge...without counsel...without trial...without a single Human Right. Those whom my grandchildren depended on in turn placed their good faith and trust in representatives who swore an oath to preserve and protect those rights. And Every time those rights were challenged.. the Defenders turned their backs! In so doing they enabled an illegal, immoral war... financed entirely on foreign credit and tax Gifts for the wealthiest in the Land. They allowed the national economy to be hollowed out to a point where it is totally sustained on credit and debt - devoid of the capacity to produce...anything of substance. Without intervention, they are condemned to economic surfdom...and targets of world hatred for decades to come. So Senator...I will shop hopefully later. I have only words to leave behind...with stories and government reports that add context to those words. They will know at least someone tried. And if the words remain for their grandchildren, they will learn in history of the abysmal era of G W Bush and his disastrous legacy and wonder what manner of men...seeing all this unfold before their eyes, and hearing millions of Gramps and Grannies, and the very government itself cry out for help, could simply refuse to stand. That Senator Reid will become the legacy of the current Democratic Congress, every bit as complicit...inept...and treasoness as Bush. There is yet time to change. Can you ? Will you ? God Help You...or Forgive You! With Deep Regret... Posted by progressivegrannie at 10:20 AM

Can you ? Will you ? Dear Progressive Grannie, Answer to can you question = yes. Answer to the will you question = no. The why can be discovered if you re-visit the word "treasonous"-ponder that word closely. Sincerely, Someone who has seen the light before you have
Those who are up for re-election will...and Should – and Must be targeted for replacement. If we could only deliver that part to our craven representatives so they would finally realize their precious jobs are on the line!
Great idea because the government needs more money!
Another moron now has access to the internet. Every armchair brainiac geriatric thinks that because they're old, they know more than everyone else. WRONG. This communist simply needs to take her meds and shut the hell up, because it was HER generation, who didn't act, didn't do a damned thing except take her government hand out. Old people are the bane of human existence more often than not, because it is the old that send the young to die on their behalf, and because they are old, apparently their opinions count more than someone who is young. If you want an end to war, The Treason we see every day, poverty, outsourcing, illegal alien issues, and just about every other problem, there's someone over the age of 55 who's behind it all. Young people fortunately don't ascend to positions of high office, or influence because the old people of the world are so fucking fearful of youth and intelligence, that they can't bear the notion of letting go. There are some decent people who do good things who happen to be senior citizens, but I assure you that they aren't any of the ruling elite. I'd rather we put every geriatric who's running a corporation, or working in government on a slow boat to an isolated island, where they can pull their own version of Lord Of The Flies. It's time for change, and the simple change that will fix a lot of this country's problems, is getting every moron over the age of 50 out of government.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
