Fellow Travelers

Although it is not completely certain as yet what Democrats may do with the Alito nomination, it is a pretty good bet they are going to do nothing. Supposedly they will meet this coming week to discuss their strategy but at the moment filibuster does not seem one of the options. If they do not filibuster and allow Alito to be confirmed they will be saying they basically are in favor of an Imperial Presidency - a virtual dictatorship. If this happens it will be all over for dissenters, those treasonous souls who are aiding and abetting the enemy by criticizing Bush's insane foreign policy and the "war" in Iraq. In short, they will be "Fellow Travelers," the label we formerly applied to communist sympathizers. Never mind Roe vs Wade, Republicans, for the most part, are no more interested in overturning Roe vs Wade, than Democrats. The danger is an Imperial Presidency and Alito has made it clear he subscribes to such a situation. As it perfectly obvious this is what the Republicans are trying to bring about, we should have no doubt whatsoever about opposing Alito's confirmation. Alito's credentials be damned, he is obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing and we know exactly what he has in mind. If the spineless Democrats don't stop this now it will quite likely be too late.

Of course it might already be too late. Bush/Cheney have already come dangerously close to destroying our country completely. We will soon be bankrupt if the Chinese, Japanese, and Europeans decide to "cash in their chips" and turn to Euros instead of dollars. And we are already persona non grata in virtually the whole world with respect to our foreign policy. Rumsfeld, that totally incompetent if not senile old man has just about destroyed our military. Cheney the Evil has managed to completely destroy any moral standing or good will we might have had. South America is in active rebellion against our rapacious "free market economy" that has kept them in poverty for so long. Iran is rightfully thumbing their nose at us, Iraq is a total disaster about to accelerate the already existing civil war, a majority of U.S. citizens have turned against Bush/Cheney but so far have been helpless to do anything, the Democratic "leadership" is no more than a bad joke. There is increasing sentiment for impeachment at the grass roots level which the MSM is ignoring, the scandals which exist everywhere there are Republicans are as usual being ignored, hoping like others in the past will just go away. We desperately need someone from "The Planet Krypton" to arrive and save us from ourselves. Probably the closest thing to it will be Al Gore, our honestly elected and illegally denied officeholder. Be sure to tune in to his speech tomorrow. And continue to hope for miracles, it's all we have left.
