on this postHere is my commentary on the Impeachment Hearings (see action alert on right sidebar –you are most welcome to post your own commentary here after you take action):
As compliant and accommodating to central power as the American public often seems to be, there is something about being deceived and lied to that should raise hackles at least. I can never forget the sadness I felt when I tried to discuss the fact that there was no connection between 911 and Iraq with a co-worker soon after this lie was being promulgated. She listened to Rush. I was naive, she told me, the threat was real. Fear is like a contagion. Propagandists understand this well. We have been violated, used, and now what fills the void? Will it be outrage, bitterness, or cynicism? We do have a chance to make a positive change right now by demanding real impeachment hearings, rather than sham hearings that are little more than posturing without meaningful action against Bush and Cheney. Can we make a difference? Impeachment hearings would have never gotten this far had not a lot of folks made a lot of noise. We must not stop here. We must hold our politicians accountable to defend the Constitution in a real way by going forward with the impeachment hearings in a serious manner with real consequences. –Cris
