Indictment of a leader

[cmr164]

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right
of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them
and formidable to tyrants only.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for
that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and
raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms
of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior
to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign
to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws.

For protecting mercenaries from punishment for any Murders which they
should commit on the Inhabitants:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For declaring himself invested with power to legislate for us in
all cases whatsoever.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, and destroyed the
lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries
to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already
begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a
civilized nation.

You have a way with cryptic posts.

Aside from some deletions I only actually changed 2 words from the original

[cmr164]

I guess no one reads the 'Declaration of Independence' these days. I was struck with how well it fit both Georges, old and new.

Or it could be that your lame attempt at trying to make some political point flopped. Please, humor me and show me where the similarities are. I can't find them. ;)

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good. Seeing as "assent to laws" is the equivalent to "signing into law" here in the States, please show me where he has refused to sign the vast majority of laws into being? And please explain to me why the ones he has vetoed, makes him any different from any other president who vetoed a bill he didn't agree with?

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them. Where has GWB told any Governors they can't pass laws, unless he approves them?

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right
of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them
and formidable to tyrants only. Where are people being denied representation in legislature?

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for
that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and
raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.If nothing else, he hasn't done enough to enforce our LAWS of immigration, and has really done nothing to stem the tide of illegals.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. Seeing as the Judiciary Powers have already been established...

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. Oh yeah, that's why they just gave terrorists rights under our civilian legal system.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms
of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. I thought that was the liberals who want to raise our taxes again.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior
to the Civil Power. Really? Proof, please...

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign
to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws. Okay, I agree, I'd like to see us out of the UN personally...

For protecting mercenaries from punishment for any Murders which they
should commit on the Inhabitants: Where do we have mercenaries working for us, against our own citizens in the US?

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: LOL!! That's GW to a "T"!!

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: My tax rate went down with GW.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: ]Name one US citizen who has lost any right to trial by jury?

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: That is why GW fought to keep our military forces to be kept out of the World Court.

For declaring himself invested with power to legislate for us in
all cases whatsoever. Maybe that's why the current Congress...led by the Dems...hasn't done anything, and has single digit approval ratings for the first time in history

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, and destroyed the
lives of our people. Is that why we can't drill off our own coasts?

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries
to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already
begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a
civilized nation. So where are all the foreign mercs in our land, causing death and desolation on US citizens?

Initiatives forced on the states include the 'one child left behind', the pharmaceutical enrichment bill, and the latest ID card fiasco.

More than 50% of our forces in Iraq are contractors/mercenaries.

US citizens have been picked up in the US and then transported overseas, held without charge or access to any of the rights that a US citizen should have.

You may try to blame "liberals" but the fact is that any true conservative sees GWB as a stumbling/mumbling disaster.

It is the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT. There are other "acts" by previous presidents. Shall I list them?

So far there is no ID card fiasco that I know of. I am not required to get an "ID" card.

Name ONE (1) citizen that was "picked" up within the United States and taken abroad?

If there are "contractors" in Iraq then they are NOT U.S. forces. They are contractors, get it? Learn the distinction. And by the way we do not employ mercenaries. That would be the French Foreign Legion. Learn the distinction.

Get off the internet buddy it is killing those brain cells.

By the way I consider myself a conservative but I have yet to meet a "true conservative". I am not sure if you can define it. I dont think GW is a bumbling anything. I think GW is a big spending Republican that acted very aggressively to international conflict. Overly aggressive? History will make that "distinction", not you.

[Narco]

Yeah, you might wanna watch your mouth before coming here and trash talking my President. I can tell you that no matter how messed up YOU think it is here I won't be buying a plane ticket to the Philippines anytime soon.

[ChrisF202]

What difference does it make to you? Your not even living in the US, in case you have forgotten the Philippines became independent in 1946.

Its actually kinda funny, you make Bush out to be an evil dictator on par with Hitler and Stalin when your president has almost dictatorial powers at his/her whim.

[cmr164]

I am a US citizen, disabled US Army veteran and anyone above the level of bozo can figure out that "contractors" who carry guns are mercenaries. That a US citizen arrested in the midwest and held in Guantanamo shouldn't have been there. If a US citizen commits a crime and is 'arrested' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Padilla_(prisoner)) by the US government then he ought to be charged with a crime and tried not smuggled out of the country and held. As for the ID Card Fiasco. (http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1200062053842.shtm)

[Monkeybomb]

ID card fiasco? My state was compliant already. Nothing changed on ours. I'm willing to bet most states were already as well. There are a few states that when I first saw the DL iIthought this was the worst fake ID I had ever seen until I looked it up and realized it wasn't a joke. So there were a few places that needed an upgrade. Don't confuse this with a national ID card which doesn't exist at this time.
