Why does Bush hate the Constitution?
Since George W. Bush took office, in 2001, he and his Administration have launched an assault on the U.S. Constitution unlike any since the one-two punch of the Great Depression and World War II. There is a big difference though, the War in Iraq is not World War II, and the economic meltdown hasn’t reached the epic proportions of the meltdown in 1929 and into the 1930’s, at least, not yet. While the war in Europe was raging and Hitler was busy “annexing”, we were reluctant to offer more than secret support because we were still going through an isolationist mood after World War I, and then Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. That signaled the beginning for the U.S. to get involved in a worldwide struggle for democracy and peace with the United States tipping the hand in favor of democracy. The attack on September 11th took more lives than the initial attack on Pearl Harbor, but they in 2001, they were civilian lives, and not a military target as in 1941. It shouldn’t make a difference, but it did. Unlike World War II we were attacked by individuals from an organization, not a clear-cut enemy with land and borders. Still attacking Iraq in 2003 in response to 9/11, would have been like attacking China a year after Pearl Harbor, because they were Asian neighbors, and both had cultures we didn’t understand. After the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil in history, George W. Bush pushed his contentious Patriot Act by invoking fear, and in the name of national security, he challenged every citizen’s right to privacy. Many of us accepted the moves based on the need for protection from people who fight dirty and non-conventional war. We accepted less freedom in trade for safety, but has the trade-off been equitable? Are we really that much safer than we were seven years ago? Maybe on airplanes we are somewhat, but in other sectors of life, that’s debatable. Bush then pushed his War in Iraq, and billed as a response to Al Qaeda the perpetrators of 9/11. U.S. troops succeeded in toppling Sadam Hussein, but in the process destabilized the region enough to invite Al Qaeda in to establish terrorist strongholds in the civil war torn country. This week, the Bush Administration claims we are ready to fall over the economic cliff, if Congress doesn’t accept the economic bailout package that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have proposed. At first Congress was lining up in support of helping America, but after they got over the initial fear tactic of reliving the Great Depression, they read the proposal, and found another typical Bush Administration document which gives Paulson unprecedented, unaccountable powers that would have had even the most self-interested members of the original Constitutional Convention scratching their heads. An excerpt from the proposal reads: "Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency." Paulson is essentially asking for $700 billion dollars of taxpayer money, with which he can do whatever he wants, and no one can question what he’s doing, no one can review what he’s done, and after all is said and done, no one can challenge what he’s done in any U.S. Court of Law. You would think under such grave circumstances, just once, the Bush Administration would truly have the country’s best interest at heart without political ideological motive. Instead, the Bush Administration keeps to its standard game plan, which is to act too late, react insufficiently, and then employ fear tactics in attempt to gain public approval to circumvent the protections of the United States Constitution. There may be risks in delaying applying the U.S. Treasury Band-aid to the gushing artery of our economy, but we cannot risk having Congress get hood-winked into another fear inspired snap decision. Not again. In the words of Barack Obama, “Enough is enough!” So why does George Bush hate the Constitution so much? Because it keeps him and his rich special interest buddies from doing what they really want to do, which is to get richer, and control you and me even more. William S. James, Checks-and-balancer |

Impeachment is long way over due. If this thing happened say just 25 years ago there would be demonstrations all over the place. I just can't figure out why people are not up in arms over this and doing something about it. Our constitution is valuable to us as a people and without it we have no rights.
Control is the game and enough is enough. We need to take back our control.
