Reflections on the "New American" Revolution
Saturday, November 08, 2003
Congress rolls over for Bush: "'You get, in effect, the equivalent of a French poodle that occasionally yaps at its master and bares its teeth, but if there's something of consequence to the administration, particularly when it comes to international affairs, it's going to back down,' said Norman Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute."
Read this story! Bush got his way by losing his temper with Republican Senators. They were intimidated, and rolled over. Abdicating their role as an independent arm of government, appeasing Bush's intemperate policies. It's one shame layered on top of another after another with this crowd.
It makes me wonder what happened to America. What happened to the system of government that the founding fathers wrought?
What happened to the system of checks and balances that was meant to protect us from a tyrannical government? Well, thanks to some extremely clever and persistant GOP politicking, it's dying in front of us--justified in the name of "Defehnding Freedom in Amuhrica" (sic).
