A Declaration of Independence from President BushTue, 07/11/2006 - 4:58pm

Everybody knows about the Declaration of Independence; at least they know that there was one, which is a start. The Declaration of Independence was for the most part written by Thomas Jefferson in the early summer of 1776 at the behest of the Continental Congress. Its purpose was to unequivocally declare to Great Britain, the mother country, and to the world, that the people of America were free to govern themselves. But these were reasonable gentlemen with property interests, not prone to such “liberal” thinking and action, and they wished to make themselves understood to other like gentlemen of the world. The Declaration of Independence explained not only why the colonies should be free, but gave a damning list of the infractions heaped on them by George III. Anyway, it’s a lovely piece of writing, and I steal from it unashamedly. Here is my abridged Declaration of Independence for the forthcoming elections, written for and about our own George II. The history of the present President of the United States is a history of repeated poorly held and executed decisions based on preconceived notions, much to the detriment of the country as a whole, and often to the benefit of a privileged few. It is a history of divisiveness used as a wedge to continue in power. It is a history of unnecessary war and occupation; of irrational, wasteful, dangerous spending; of ever decreasing protections for privacy and personal freedom; of destructive foreign policies; of cynical, abusive handling of the electorate and their attachment to this country. “To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.” He has held meetings behind closed doors concerning national energy policy, relying on the advice of those most likely to profit from that energy policy. He has failed to protect the sacred borders of these United States by ignoring warnings from the very people appointed to monitor and warn of such impending actions. He has abused the good will and patriotism of the people by invading and occupying a foreign and sovereign nation under erroneous pretenses. He has caused the unnecessary deaths of over 2,500 of our citizens by invading and occupying a foreign and sovereign nation under erroneous pretenses. He has wasted a significant portion of the military power and budget of this government by invading and occupying a foreign and sovereign nation, under erroneous pretenses. He has squandered the nation’s treasure by invading and occupying a foreign and sovereign nation, under erroneous pretenses. He has failed to direct sufficient force against the very enemy responsible for the attack on this nation by invading and occupying a nation that was not involved in the attack on this country. He has authorized the detention of citizens of this country in violation of habeas corpus and the Constitution. He has authorized the warrantless surveillance of citizens of this country in violation of their privacy rights under the Constitution. He has driven the treasury to the brink of insolvency with frivolous and profligate spending, while bequeathing huge tax breaks to influential donors and the wealthiest and most powerful among us. He has engaged in the petty defamation of citizens and exposure of classified material to disgrace citizens who loudly disagree with his policies. He has squandered our good will among the nations by invading and occupying a foreign and sovereign nation under erroneous pretenses. He has allowed the treasury to borrow huge sums from a future military competitor which may someday pose a threat to this nation’s sovereignty. He has presided over the destruction of manufacturing in this country, the very basis of our past, present, and future power while allowing multinational manufacturers to transfer this capacity to a future threat, and affording unlimited access to our markets. He has ignored the threat to our borders and way of life posed by economic migrants from Latin America in order to allow the continued import of cheap labor and consequent pressure on menial labor wages. He has failed to safeguard the country’s future energy sources by encouraging the wasteful use of energy, and failing to provide leadership in husbanding that which we possess. He continues to cynically use the invasion and occupation of a foreign country for his own political purposes. “In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A (president) whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a (base, manipulative, lazy, and altogether foolish) tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” As this pathetic sycophantic traitorous Congress is unlikely to impeach him, we see no recourse but to vote his pathetic sycophantic traitorous (Republican) party out of power, and deal with him afterward. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm belief in the systems and traditions of our forefathers, and the spirit of our Constitution, I remain: Timothy J. Parker
