The Fall or our Nation since bush took office and dragged the world to war. A short Video using Pinks song "Dear Mr President"

President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation
January 17, 1961
Good evening, my fellow Americans: First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for   more...the opportunity they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation. My special thanks go to them for the opportunity of addressing you this evening.
Three days from now, after a half century of service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor.

This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on questions of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the nation.

My own relations with Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post-war period, and finally to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years.

In this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the nation well rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the nation should go forward. So my official relationship with Congress ends in a feeling on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together.

We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite these holocausts America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.

Throughout America's adventure in free government, such basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations.

To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people.

Any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us a grievous hurt, both at home and abroad.

Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily the danger it poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it successfully, there is called for, not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis, but rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely, and without complaint the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle – with liberty the stake. Only thus shall we remain, despite every provocation, on our charted course toward permanent peace and human betterment.

Crises there will continue to be. In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic, great or small, there is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties. A huge increase in the newer elements of our defenses; development of unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture; a dramatic expansion in basic and applied research – these and many other possibilities, each possibly promising in itself,  less

President Bush Opens his mouth and firmly implants both feet, over and over. He made statements at the Virginia Tech Convocation that upset the grieving family members and students. His administration   more...lies and covers up the truth as they march us toward their fascist dictatorship/theocracy. The coup de grace occurred when he gave away our troop positions in Baghdad in a televised joint press conference, what a MORON!  less

A video response to HellaChella's "I Wanna Be Eviiiil" (ON YOUTUBE )video where she ask's people to tell a lie or as many lies as they can in 2 minutes. I didn't see the 2 minute limit until   more...after I made this video.
HellaChella is not on LiveVideo. Hopefully the above explaination puts this video into enough context to understand my intent.

I of course know a nuclear disaster could not happen so easily. This is more a metaphor for how easy it *HAS* been for one man to screw up the world on an unimaginable level of magnitude.  less

How many more laws does President Bush and his minions have to break, before the Republicans in this country realize that he's a crook? Wake up Republicans, while you were sleeping we became a fascist   more...country.  less

False Standard-bearer

I’ll carry her with you to the tallest of spires
above that great   more...city that came under fire,
to honor each hero who took to those stairs
without benefit of a rocket’s red glare.

I’ll pause as she waves from a ship’s highest spar,
sailing in defense of those fifty white stars.
If it means ending terror and future lives saved,
then carry her into the deep Afghan caves.

But always remember past political follies
when subjecting our troops to the enemy’s volleys.
Her last days in Saigon epitomized shame:
fifty-eight thousand lost and countless more maimed.

Yet, now we’re entrenched in a deadly quagmire,
sent by the “truths” of a certified liar.
This false standard-bearer would have us believe
our nation’s downfall would ensue if we leave.

For the sake of every mother’s daughter and son
who is paying the price for this war you’ve begun,
admit you were wrong, George, and bring our flag back
from the horrible mess that you’ve made in Iraq.

I can't stand this President. I hate his policies, I hate his idiotic sense of humor, I hate what he's done to my country, I hate his stupid face, I hate Bush!

Call your representatives in Washington D.C. and tell them to oppose this insane President! Don't Invade Iran!

We're ruining this world over money and religion...people seem to have no idea about the bigger scheme of things and if you carry on the way we are going it won't matter any more anyway.

A good dozen reasons to impeach both President Bush and Vice-President Cheney for their War OF Terrorism.

How does one do it? Stay tuned!

The laundry list of impeachable crimes by the Bush-Cheney co-presidency regime is too long to do justice in a short video. But, the books "Worse Than Watergate" by John W. Dean and "Articles   more...of Impeachment Against George W. Bush" by the Center For Constitutional Rights are good places to begin that list.

2nd October 2006

YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging 2nd October 2006

YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging   more...a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

YOUR GOVERNMENT suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

YOUR GOVERNMENT enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler - and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.

There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.

There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.

But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn - or be forced - to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.

And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.

Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.

This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.

The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten  less
