The Bush White House Was Deaf To 9/11 Warnings
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
That fact alone casts suspicion on Obama's good intentions after his failure to investigate and prosecute, and his continuing Bush's 'unitary executive' practices (and expanding them, with 'indefinite preventive detention' of American citizens and Obama's doctrine that presidents have the right to kill American citizens with no due process, no oversight, and his push for and no transparency of anything a president asserts should be his secret). It is pure Kafka. Most of Obama's supporters believe that Obama ended the torture practices of the BushCheney regime and closed down the CIA black sites, but apparently that's not true: Obama's continuing to torture and has decriminalized it, along with creating all new black sites (Prison Ships, Ghost Prisoners and Obama's Interrogation Program).
There was a coup d'etat in this nation, a bloodless one, but a coup nonetheless. And both parties are in on it and we're 'flying without a net' (Constitution).
The US can only survive by everyone (not just the liberals) wanting to get along with each other. You've got to want the country to work more than you want your way over other Americans getting their way. Or some of their way. You've got to be willing to compromise. But 'compromising' isn't 'capitulating'. 'Compromise' requires getting something you want in return, and Democratic voters aren't getting that with the deals that Obama makes with Republicans.
Bush wasn't into compromising, and got everything he wanted from Congress. And when he didn't get what he wanted, when members of Congress learned they had been lied to, tricked, Congress didn't challenge him in the third branch of government, the judiciary. Bush created one Constitutional crisis after another. There's been real concern that if the judiciary ruled against him, he wouldn't abide. Then what? Nobody can force him. Three co-equal branches of government.
So Congress turned the other cheek. And the incoming administration "looks forward, not back." So that future administrations know they have nothing to fear, no one to harness and restrain them from imperial ambitions. From 'Unitary Executive'. From becoming King.
