So last night's Schadenfreude meeting sucked. We just argued about Iraq. I lost. All truth is first conspiracy. Nobody knows the truth. The burden of proof is on me, Bush is assumed innocent, my thoughts on deliberate wrongdoing is conspiracy. I can't prove any of it.
Nobody argues anymore whether George Bush lied us into war, we now argue whether it was justified that we be lied to. Until it can be proven that George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, and Colin Powell invaded Iraq for anything other than altruistic purposes, they are, by default, telling the truth.
All I know is I believe in human weakness. There are weak humans. This is a fact. Greedy humans have existed. Humans have sought power to the exception of accepted social standards. Domination and Power are intoxicating to a certain demographic. Humans have existed of flawed perception and defective judgement whether in nature or nurture. Therefore the acknoledgement that such weakness exists allows for possibility that the above mentioned people have those flaws.
So fuck them and fuck Alito. Call your Sentator. 888-355-3588 or 888-818-6641. Tell them to vote for no cloture (filibuster) on Alito. Durbin and Obama may vote No on Alito and Yes on Cloture. We can't have this.
For extra credit call Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Russ Feingold, or John Kerry - and tell them to either LEAD THE FILIBUSTER or FORGET ABOUT YOUR SUPPORT for their 2008 Presidential Bid. You can also send that message to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (202-224-2447) and the Democratic National Committee (202-863-8000). Do it.
It's time to bring all the facets of this slowly revealed ideology brought to the stage for debate, quit hiding it. Tell the citizens of the US what you stand for and quit hiding behind blatant lies, obfuscation of debate, tricky reframing of discourse, and marginalization of opposition opinion in what is supposed to be the standard-bearer of Democracy. Enough. There has to be a turning point, it's time for the Dems to declare this is where they finally stand their ground or fuck them too. If this isn't a turning point I don't know what is. Which road does the country go down?
I can't prove that Alito will trade objective judgement for loyalty to a democratically unpopular ideology. But I allow for the fact that such a flaw may exist in this man.
