A Declaration of Independence

    “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. ??? Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”
    It worked once. Maybe it can work again.
    The anger and disgust expressed by Keith Olbermann, below, pretty much mirrors what I’m feeling as I try to celebrate the birthday of this once great nation…    It’s no longer enough for those incompetent assholes to be impeached. They need to be imprisoned. Hell, the whole administration needs to be annulled. To quote from The Ten Commandments, let the names of Bush and Cheney be stricken from every pillar and obelisk. Too bad that can’t bring back the thousands whose deaths they caused, but at least it might start the end of this goddamned nightmare. And America might resemble once again the country of justice and liberty and greatness we celebrate today.
