It seems recently that the
Impeachophobic blather eminating from Pelosi, Reid, and other Dems among the DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy has settled a bit on the empty concepts of "fear of divisiveness" and "need for bipartisanship."
Further, it now looks like this control mantra has "gone operational" with Hillary's recent embrace of Colin Powell (?!?) and Kucinich's comments on Ron Paul. As is typical with DC "conventional wisdom," they've gotten the wrong end of the stick and seem hell bent on bashing themselves (and us all) over the head with it.
The truth is that Only Impeachment Can Unify Our Once-Great Nation
The latest ARG poll has exposed a stunning reality that many of us in the Pro-Impeachment Camp (not the "Anti-War," or "far left" camp) worried would not occur unless and until the DC Dem "leaders" found the political will to live up to their oaths of office. Seems like we underestimated the American People a bit.
A nearly surreal 70 PERCENT of Americans now think the Bushcheney Regime is corrupt -- that they have "abused power." This includes 40% of Republicans and 75% of Independents.
Take it in. 70 Percent.And that's entirely on their own -- in the face of direct, active suppression by the DC Dem "opposition leaders" to impeachment/objection/accountability. And still, 70% will not be fooled again.
And what of the "other" 30% -- of which so many inside the DC beltway are so concerned about? Certainly that group can't be the most informed among us and many are simply unaware of what they vast majority knows. It's also extremely likely that many among that cohort are simply lying -- that they know full well this regime should be impeached, but they fear the more general repercussions for their own interests.
Do those thing really matter? They do when you consider just who impeachment would be "dividing" with its "divisive, polarizing divisiveness" (whatever those euphemisms actually mean, if anything at all). It seems that the 30% may well shrink a good bit as the impeachment process demonstrates to the uninformed just what the majority already knows. And a good chunk of the "lying cohort" could well "support" impeachment by simply standing silent. By opting not to make matters worse with a ridiculous, futile defense of the indefensible.
Imagine if a political party simply acted on this reality. Simply acknowledged what "everybody knows" and discharged their oath-bound duty to DO SOMETHING about it -- finally recognizing that impeachment is the only Constitutional power left to them, and the only way to discharge our treaty obligations.
Imagine if -- instead of demanding that we bury our heads in the next horserace; that we accept the pretense that all is well enough; that we push our problems and responsibilities from our minds just a little longer -- they just asked us to join them in Redeeming Our National Soul.
Imagine if, as their reason for acting, they described a vision of a New Camelot in American -- one that denounced torture and war crimes, one that promised to restore our nation and people as cooperative, respected players on the world stage. One that recommitted ourselves to the core principles on which we were founded. One not based on paranoia, self-inflicted terror, and cowardice.
Imagine having a reason to be hopeful about the future, instead of just wishful rhetoric.
Might that not unify the nation around something positive, something courageous, even noble?
Does anything else even hold out the prospect such unity?
Can we really live with not even trying?
(
A note to the Impeachophobes. The numbers are only growing among us of those refusing to "get over it." No one has "gotten over" the Stolen Elections of 2000 and 2004 and none will be "getting over" the failure to impeach war criminals. This "division" you claim you fear is only getting worse -- much worse.)
Remember,
Only Impeachment will do.
It IS our positive agenda.
It is our ONLY moral, patriotic, (and legal, legislative, electoral, diplomatic...) option.
We need to get on with it.
