The S**T Slingin' Monkey Stands Accused

President Bush's tactics prove crude. He marked his terrority in Iraq by urine washing the sand, monkey style. He wiped his ass with our constitution and waves his accomplishments in the air alongside that organ grinder, Dick Cheney. And now he must have decided to go full force with the monkey functions by spewing his diarrhea of the mouth to convince millions of Americans that despite the wishes of Congress, it is his duty to send those 21,000 troops to Iraq BY GOD. (Hey, I'm a southerner; I can get away with the phrase because I don't sound nasal.) Anyway, today I felt such disgust with the state of my country that I thought about what it would be like to put President Bush and his fellow upset tummy tree dwellers on trial for war attrocities and financial crimes.

This subject provokes a lot of ire. I figure I am past the point of worrying about ruffling a few feathers. I mean, that attitude helped Bush gain eight years in office. So let's get real and talk about what you think he should be tried for and why. And if you don't agree he should be put on trial, why not?

And by trial, I don't mean impeachment. That may be the first step, but I hope not the last. I mean on criminal trial here in the States for both charges. I think that is a stronger statement; I have yet to witness an impeachment that impressed me. I realize he could be tried by the International Criminal Court, but they usually only intervene when a country is unable to hold the trial itself. However, doing it internationally might send a meaningful message.

Finally, the big question is: If they were found guilty, what should be their punishment? Does it vary?

Now, what did you say? Speak up, kiddies; I can't hear you.

Good diary!

Can we hold a military court with the soldiers wounded in battle in his illegal war in Iraq as judge and jury?

this might work for the war,

this might work for the war, but not the financial crimes. we'll have to do both. i recommend that the editorial team of culturekitchen rounded out by a few of our writers act as judge and jury for that.

seriously, it's going to kill me if he doesn't have to answer for his crimes.

i think the fear of being accused of treason keeps people from talking about this. but i feel he is a murderer and a thief; his position does not excuse that. our country was based on fresh dissent; it is the tagline of this website for a good reason. yet this man and the rest of those fake patriots are reading our mail, tapping our phones, monitoring our interactions on Google for fuck's sake while in one breath claiming that our disagreement with those actions damages the country; in the next breath, they claim to share the same goals as the founders of this country. so i guess dissent was ok in the Revolutionary War times, but it is a modern day no-no.

WITHOUT DISSENT,THIS COUNTRY WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.

and i believe it is treason to try to outlaw it---that is what all of these violations of our basic liberties amounts to: a smackdown on dissent.

it's no different than what you find in a communist society.

Treason

One of the founding moments of our nation was accompanied by the line, "If this be treason, make the most of it."

America's founding fathers would be at risk of being thrown into Guantanamo Bay by Bush and the anti-American Republican right wing.

Bravo

Impeach, remove, try, jail, as the saying goes; and might I use this opportunity to whorishly promote my related diary on Daily Gotham.

Yes, whorish. Fitting with the times.

Words to live by

"I could not do otherwise without transcending the limits prescribed by the Constitution for the President and without feeling that I might in some degree disturb the security which religion nowadays enjoys in this country in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government."


— -- Andrew Jackson, 1832, statement refusing to proclaim a national day of fasting and prayer, Correspondence 4:447
