What disheartens me the most is that Democrats don't seem to be doing anything about these assaults on our Constitution!
But I doubt America will survive. The axe is already in motion, the next war is as good as underway, and the situation is about to become much, much worse.It saddens me to hear you sound so pessimistic, but I have to admit that it has become harder and harder to stay positive... I think what disheartens me the most is that Democrats in Congress don't seem to be doing anything about these assaults on our Constitution! • Why do most of them sound so d*mn wishy-washy about ending this occupation of Iraq? • Why are they not screaming about these "Executive Orders"? • Why do they say "Impeachment is off the table"? • Why are they letting Gonzo get by with perjury? • Why did they not send the Sargent at Arms out to bring in Harriet Miers I realize that, now that the Democrats have the power to do so, they have started a number of investigations I have to wonder: Do the Dems really worry that they "don't have enough votes in the Senate" to do what needs to be done, as they claim? Or... Are they too cowardly to stand up to these guys? I heard caller to a talk show compare the Dems to parents that repeatedly tell their children "if you do that one more time...". And the kids have learned not to take them seriously because other than an angry look and a couple of harsh words, there really are no consequences for their actions. Or... Are they in the "back pockets" of the same Lobbyists as the Repugs are? Or... If unchallenged, this Executive Branch power-grab Bush has made will become precedent. Are the Dems confident of winning the presidency in 2008 and like the idea of "their guy" (or gal) having that power? Meanwhile, while folks like you are trying to "fight the good fight", it seems far too many Americans don't appear concerned with the fact that we are on the brink of losing our democracy
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication. When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever. We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong. You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>. But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else. Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want. If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread. If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address). |
