IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, FER SHURE
How would one define an 'oligarchy'? It is rule by a priviledged class... one class that is above the law, one class that is persecuted by the law... one class that can not be touched by the law, one class that can not escape prosecution by the law.
Why do I write: IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, STUPID!?
Because, for example, the Clinton's were both proved to have broken the law, yet neither were prosecuted and tried. Darling Billy was fined by a federal judge for perjury and obstruction of justice... but the prosecutor chose not to pursue the matter by trial. His lovely wife Medusa was found by prosecutor David Ray to have violated the law, and he said, ''The overwhelming evidence establishes that she played a role in the decision to fire the [travel office] employees and provided input into that decision. Thus, her statement to the contrary under oath was factually false.'' Yet the prosecutor chose not to pursue the matter.
Subsequent Chairman of the DNC, Terry Mcauliffe, was reportedly found to have laundered Teamster Union funds through Democrap channels... but nothing ever came of it.
For that matter, the Clintooon Administration sold U.S. nuclear secrets to China for campaign contributions - which would have been treason at some earlier time - but that passed by without even a whimper.
======================================================
Now we find prosecutor Fitzgerald prosecuting the Vice President's office for an offense with no apparent underlying crime.
IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, STUPID!
Do you think this is not enough evidence? How about the trashing of the White House offices by the outgoing Clintonistas? No one prosecuted... the taxpayers footed the bill. How about Sandy Berger pilfering classified documents - documents that may still be pertinent to ongoing investigations? Slap on the wrist.
Of course I could go on.
======================================================
Shall I mention the prosecution of Tom Delay? ...the threat of prosecution of Senate leader Frist?
Everyone who doesn't think the end of this current indictment is aimed at the Vice President's seat and the President's seat, please raise your hands.
The Democraps realized over 50 years ago that their agenda could not be advanced by legislatures so they plotted to use the federal courts to impose their perverted values on the nation.
Now even that unassailable seat of power is at risk for them. Now is the hour for them to use their priviledged class-position to cement their power over this country.
Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up.
Make no mistake about Fitzgerald's prosecutive case: it is trumped up - which the case against Hillary would NOT have been... which the case against Bill Clinton would NOT have been.
======================================================
IS THERE ANY REASON TO VOTE ANY LONGER? Does our vote make any difference in the political course of events in this country any longer?
Well, hope springs eternal... but certainly these are perilous times for those who actually believe in the Constitution, in liberty, in free enterprise, in capitalism.
ping for later
That is just a dog-and-pony show... the Dems always get what they want... although there are plenty of scaliwags on the Repubbie side also.
The Dems rule through the courts and the media... and voter apathy!
Can I vote against
VANITIES?! Especially
blue font VANITIES?!
The triumph of the mob is just as evil a thing as the triumph of the plutocracy, and to have escaped one danger avails nothing whatever if we succumb to the other. In the end the honest man, whether rich or poor, who earns his own living and tries to deal justly by his fellows, has as much to fear from the insincere and unworthy demagog, promising much and performing nothing, or else performing nothing but evil, who would set on the mob to plunder the rich, as from the crafty corruptionist, who, for his own ends, would permit the common people to be exploited by the very wealthy. If we ever let this Government fall into the hands of men of either of these two classes, we shall show ourselves false to America's past. Moreover, the demagog and the corruptionist often work hand in hand. There are at this moment wealthy reactionaries of such obtuse morality that they regard the public servant who prosecutes them when they violate the law, or who seeks to make them bear their proper share of the public burdens, as being even more objectionable than the violent agitator who hounds on the mob to plunder the rich. There is nothing to choose between such a reactionary and such an agitator; fundamentally they are alike in their selfish disregard of the rights of others; and it is natural that they should join in opposition to any movement of which the aim is fearlessly to do exact and even justice to all.
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 6th Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1906
You're right Bob. I know it, you know it but what difference will it make? None! Our guys had the power to stop this but instead acted like a bunch of geldings. They had the opportunity to put the country on the right track but chose the easy, cowardly option.
Well, I agree with the dirt part at any rate...
No! Our only hope

Read up there between the double-lines... Howdy! :-)
...but they joined the oligarchy?
I believe it just as much now as I did when I wrote it for Teddy! ;-D
Bullmoose forever!!
I think it's time to descend on the capital with pitchforks..
Shooting the messenger for that makes you look very small...Perhaps that's why you are named Junior.
Yes, our votes are literally driving the socialists in the press clinically insane.
A few more years of this and this oligarchy will collapse from within due to their own insanity.
...or ascend to the castle with...? ;-) Hi!
ROFL - Can you imagine the top of the hour headlines?
Vicious, Evil Right Wingers descend on the Capitol carrying pointy objects which many folks have been working tirelessly with congress to get banned because of their danger to society. We demand that they be arrested immediately for thought crimes as freedom and liberty are more than likely on these extremists minds.
Good afternoon Bob Ireland:
A great essay topic, unfortunately, this is like a bad dream.
Sandy Burglar destroys evidence concerning the 9/11 investigation, and gets a slap on the wrist. A firing squad is the appropriate punishment for this treasonous crime.
John F’n Kerry, treasonous ba$tard-MA, outs a CIA operative, and nothing happens. Once, again, even twenty-five years ago, a firing squad was an appropriate punishment.
Joe Wilson lies on behalf of the Oil for Food plunders, slanders our Nation. And Wilson outs his wife as a CIA operative. Again, a firing squad is the appropriate punishment for the crime. Yet Libby, who exposes CIA involvement in fraud, gets punished. Where's the whistle blower protection?
Interesting take... Hello! [...also good catch on Kerry {What ever happened to the Minutemen and Paul Revere in Massachusetts...? Now they are all freedom-hating amoral Marxists!}]
The real oligarchy? Liberal activist judges ruling by fiat.
Yes... as stated in #22 above. Thomas Jefferson warned that the federal courts could end up becoming an oligarchy... they are certainly a critical part of this oligarchic coup.
Hey Bob!
You're on fire tonight!
Time to cut down your fiber intake!
FRegards!
