Gonzales Resignation -

from the "vote to impeach" webiste:

At the very moment that people from around the country are preparing to descend on Washington DC for a massive march for peace and impeachment, Alberto Gonzales announced today that he is joining Karl Rove in the mad dash to flee Bush's sinking ship.

Gonzales, like Rove, is under scrutiny for lying to Congress. Under direction from Bush and Cheney, Gonzales will be remembered in history as the infamous guardian and legal “justifier” for a regime of torture, massive secret spying of the American people and the suspension of Due Process and other cherished rights.

The crumbling of Bush’s inner circle is a sure sign that those who participated in the criminal acts of the administration are seeking to avoid the hard glare of a country that has turned against the Iraq war and the administration itself.

I don't know that I agree with all the hoopla surrounding impeachment, but the case for impeachment is very strong. Perhaps if people would follow the law instead of their ministers, the country would be more christian and law-abiding at the same time.

I guess my biggest complaint is that people have had their blinders on for so long now. It's like the last 20 years have been sheep following a (not always ethical) sheepherder. Nobody questioning anything except for us out here in the wilderness.

I know that folks like Michael Moore have been pointing fingers and going around making a lot of noise - and there have been others - but that kind of noise and finger-pointing does no good. Every time you point a finger out, there are 3 pointing back at you...

So, if I point at the government for illegally manipulating laws and power grabbing, I have to look at myself and see where I allowed it to happen. For one, I didn't open my mouth sooner. I just yelled at the radio/tv until I was blue in the face!

That's the point of this blog, after all - to get it out in the open instead of behind closed doors. The Nazi party kept the people behind closed doors and even made them wary of discussing these issues behind closed doors lest their teenager (another easily led and manipulated mind) turn them in for not "going with the flow" of popular opinion.

Who makes opinion popular, anyway?? Isn't that supposed to be the majority? What if there is a very strong minority???

Our country is being torn apart because the minority is being ignored, and majority rules. We need to re-think that approach and negotiate a more fair outcome to disputed issues.

Compromise may not be a palatable idea, but it's certainly better than ignoring half the population. That behavior leads to coup. And impeachment of a sitting president and vice president is getting pretty close to a coup.
