So what?

A bipartisan committee of the American Bar Association has determined that Bush's out of control signing statements are threatening the very basis of our form of government, eliminating the checks and balances that are supposed to exist, and usurping all power to the executive branch. This is an egregious attack on the constitution. So what? We've known this all along but nothing happens to stop it. This kind of thing has happened repeatedly under the Bush/Cheney administration: a known homosexual prostitute has free run of the White House - so what? Bush is engaged in illegal wiretapping - so what? The elections in 2000 and 2004 were flagrantly stolen - so what? We're torturing captives all around the world - so what? The pre-emptive attack on Iraq is recognized as a terrible war crime - so what? Our present encouragement of Israeli aggresson against Palestinians and Lebanese is another war crime - so what? Karl Rove is obviously guilty of helping to out Valerie Plame, a CIA operative - so what? Bush made an utter fool of himself (and us) at the recent G8 meetings - so what? So they lied to start a "war" and have never stopped lying - so what? The Israelis (our allies) have bombed a United Nations headquarters, perhaps on purpose - so what? It appears that nothing Bush/Cheney do, no matter how illegal, immoral, unconstitutional, sickeningly disgusting, or whatever, makes any difference. Nothing happens. They just continue to do whatever they wish. It is as if everyone in the world has just given up. And apparently we might as well have because it just goes on and on completely unchecked by anyone. And it continues even though apparently fully two-thirds of American citizens disapprove. So what the hell is going on? Would someone kindly explain this to me. This is a situation totally unrelated to my enculturation. I feel I am adrift in a sea of surrealism from which I cannot free myself, a nightmare world unprecedented in my lifetime, an inferno beyond the imagination even of Dante. I said previously I was now ashamed to be an American. That is irrelevant - there is no America anymore. Bush/Cheney have managed to destroy our country. Do not look forward to the future. The future is now and it is fantastically unpleasant.

Dennis Kusinich (remember him), probably the only decent Congressman still extant, is still out there baying at the moon. He wants a cease fire and peace. How silly of him. Doesn't he realize he is totally out of touch in a world gone completely mad with greed, hatred, and idiocy. Someone explain to me again the concept of intelligent design. I just don't get it.
