Progressive Minds

You know things are bad for Idiot Son (see George W. Bush, President of the United States) when he's been called a threat to the rule of law, by a former member of the Reagan administration!

Bruce Fein, who served as a Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan, says that George W. Bush is a threat to America.  In the December 20 edition of Rev. Moon's neo-con Washington Times newspaper, Fein wrote: "President Bush presents a clear and present danger to the rule of law.  He cannot be trusted to conduct the war against global terrorism with a decent respect for civil liberties and checks against executive abuses. Congress should swiftly enact a code that would require Mr. Bush to obtain legislative consent for every counterterrorism measure that would materially impair individual freedoms."

Fein's concern over Idiot Son is on two levels: 1) That he broke the law and 2) he has shown no respect for the separation of powers (read: Idiot Son believes he is King).

A right-winger actually making sense, and taking Bush to task?  I have one question: What took so long?

Bush's impeachable offense

Kristen Breitweiser, whose husband was killed on 9/11, has written a wonderful article for Common Dreams.org, called The King's Red Herring--definitely required reading for today.

In a very articulate (and most importantly, FACTUAL way) she takes the Bush Crime Team to task for using 9/11 as an excuse for domestic wiretapping, when in fact the government had received plenty of intelligence on the hijackers.

I know the neo-con, Rethug Bush apologists are salivating at the mouth, just waiting for the opportunity to call Kristen Breitweiser a radical liberal who's aiding and abbeding the enemy. 

Not so fast, though!  You should know that she voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 Presidential election.  But after 9/11, Kristen turned her grief into action, advocating for the creation of the 9/11 Commission, and said that George W. Bush "thrawted our attempts at every turn."
