Impeachment: Will Congress Grant the Desires of “We the People?” : AZ IMC

“Why are we beginning to tread on our Constitutional Rights?” Major General Albert Stubblebine, Two Star General US Army, Retired

It has been a month since Representative Dennis Kucinich re-introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Richard Cheney. It’s been nearly a year since Former Representative Cynthia McKinney presented Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Cheney, along with President George Bush and Condoleezza Rice. Yet the nation still awaits justice.

Let’s face it, our Congress, along with the current administration, has failed us. With the Democratic take-over of Congress this year, citizens and groups for impeachment were hoping for major results. Last years statement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “impeachment was not on the table,” is, unfortunately, still a piercing sound in our ears. The desire of the masses has not waned, however, it has only increased. People want change. The current Republican administration is a power thirsty bunch and the Democratic Congress is obviously powerless to stop them.

Ms. McKinney and Representative Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment are very similar. Violation of oaths of office, the manipulation of intelligence and deception of US citizens in justifying our illegal war with Iraq; it’s enough to warrant a Judicial investigation. McKinney also sited Rice for her role in misleading Congress by “…repeating and propagating false statements concerning Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction…”. McKinney sited President Bush with misdemeanors because of his “…neglect…to hold members of the Executive Branch responsible for their negligence or violations of law…”

“By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of Fascism, Nazism, and Totalitarianism and they will follow that path all the way to where it ends, in histories unmarked grave of discarded lies.” George W Bush, President of the United States of America

These are horribly egregious acts on the part of the Bush Administration. And the Administration should be held accountable for them. There is another branch of government that should be held accountable for letting us get dragged into this illegal war with Iraq, and possibly with Iran. Congress needs to legislate and keep the Administration in line. They have passed bills to fund this “war” that they did not declare. Is Congress unaware if its duties to the US people?

McKinney brought to light President Bush’s blatant disregard for our fourth amendment rights when he granted, in early 2002, authorization to the National Security Agency to spy on US citizens without warrants. This is a much earlier, yet very clear, violation of his oath of office to uphold the Constitution. This act, alone, is worthy of a full-scale inquiry, as he has clearly been in violation of rights granted every US citizen by the Bill of Rights.

“Somewhere along the way, someone forgot the fact that it’s not our government that gives us our freedoms. They are inalienable rights and they cannot be taken away.” William Lewis, Filmmaker, Civil Rights Advocate

How can we put up with a sitting President that will not respect the will of the people, or Congress? In an interview from January 2007, President Bush of Congress, “I fully understand they can try and stop me…But I’ve made my decision, and we’re going forward.”

Representative John Conyers, Jr., an on-again-off-again proponent of impeachment, told an audience in Pontiac, Michigan in August 2007, in a bold change of direction, that impeachment may not be on Speaker Pelosi’s table, but he still has it on his. That is good news, since Rep. Conyers is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Will justice win out?

The Democrats, according to Deputy Democratic Whip Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, have decided to “tough out the next twelve months” because the voters “…did not ask us to spend any time on the impeachment…” Since when is seeking Justice for the US citizens a waste of time? Further, isn’t Congress sending a horrible message to present and future presidents, that they can do what they want, because they will not be held accountable?

Rep. Schultz, and the “Democratic leadership” may find impeachment a waste of time, but they better check with the constituency, again, since a poll taken by the American Research Group in July 2007, just seven months after the Democratic take-over of Congress, says forty-five percent of the population is in favor of a Bush impeachment and forty-six percent are in favor of a Cheney impeachment.

“Why we are letting them get away with what they are, why we’re not marching in the streets, why we are not actually down there, physically extracting them from their offices and firing them?” Dr Sherri Tenpenny, Author: Fowl: Bird Flu-It’s Not What You Think

Congress should also pay close attention to the October 2007 Washington Post/ABC poll which shows President Bush’s approval rating at just thirty-three percent while Congress’ approval rating is a mere 29 percent since the Democrats took office. According to the poll, this is the lowest it has been in twelve years.

A November MSNBC poll has slightly differing figures, but what is more interesting is the question “…do you feel that your representative deserves to be reelected, or do you think that it is time to give a new person a chance?” Of those registered to vote, fifty-one percent said they would give someone new a chance. I think the constituency is speaking loud and clear. Congress is just doing whatever the heck it wants, just as is the Administration!

Several cities and states around the country are tired of waiting for Congress to do their job. Twelve States, twenty-three political committees and eighty-eight cities and towns across our nation have introduced Impeachment Resolutions against the Bush Administration. Of the twelve states, Vermont has passed their resolution, with a decision pending in Maine, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. Eighty-seven cities have passed their resolutions, leaving only one pending the decision.

Congress and the Judiciary committee should take a lesson from these local governments. Cities and states across our nation are willing to take matters into their own hands. We the People are fed up, we really do want impeachment and something needs to be done.

If the “priorities of the voters” are truly the concern of Rep. Schultz and her Democratic Congress, then what are they waiting for? Why don’t they pursue the will of the voters? Impeach this out-of-control administration. Stop funding this illegal war. Bring our troops home. Give us back our privacy. Stop wasting time and money and let us pursue happiness, according to our Constitutional rights.

“This government is supposed to be of, by and for the people. This government is supposed to be following the guidelines or the rulebook, which is called the United States Constitution.” Dave vonKleist, Talk Radio Host “The Power Hour”/ Producer “911 In Plane Site”

The time has come to step up and fight for what you want. Contact your representatives and let them know how you feel. It’s their job to listen; after all, it’s you they represent. They work for YOU! Contact Representative John Conyers, as well as Speaker Pelosi, and tell them it’s time to move forward with impeachment. Let’s all get involved with our future, today!

If it wasn't morons like mckinney and kuchinich bringing them forward, maybe something would be done. But you see, they are just progressive political hacks trying to pander to the moonbats by trying to give them their wet dream. Only problem, THEY DON'T HAVE A viable REASON for impeachment. Now I know that that just makes you stomp your foot and cry with impotence, but that's just the true fact debbie ole girl. Have a nice day :)

Each other! LOL!
They make a perfect little couple, two coward draft dodging chickenhawk bitches!

My stomach hurts from laughing soooo hard!
LOL

Perhaps it's from swallowing too much terrorist jizz?

Looks like somebody got their panties in a wad! LMFAO!
This coming from someone who's sister raped 'em with a strap-on!
LOL!
Here's your shitthole n' chief, suckah

January 2008: Palestinian terrorists tried to murder Lior Ben-Shimon, age 5, an Israeli child.
She was wounded when Palestinians fired a rocket that hit her neighbor's home in the Israeli town of Sderot

Over 250,000 Israelis now live under the threat of the kassam missiles”- Head of Israeli Military Intelligence to the Israel Knesset Parliament Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee, Jan.1st, 2008 Since the first day of January until today, January 20th, over 430 Kassam missiles and mortars were launched towards Sderot, the Western Negev and Ashkelon , according to the IDF spokesman.

In 2007, over 2300 missiles and mortars were launched towards Israel from Gaza . [...] Officially 20,000 residents, of a normal population of close to 24,000, are left in Sderot, although there are those who say that it is probably less than 17,000 residents. Each and every resident has experienced an explosion of a rocketmissile in the past few years… this is Sderot reality

Why Zionism Is Racism

Zionism is a racist and irredeemable movement, like Bolshevism, Nazism, and Apartheid.

(Note: This article is a direct response, using the same format, on a line by line basis, to an editorial that appeared in the Montreal Gazette on April 26, 2001, written by Gil Troy, a Professor of History at McGill University.)

On this, the 53rd anniversary of the Nakbe' (the Catastrophe of the Palestinian people), it is all too tempting for friend and foe alike to define Israel, and zionism, solely by the Americans' proclamations of its enlightened democracy. To do so is to miss the normal atrocities that occur in Israel daily, the millions who are under curfew and blockade, starving and brutalized, in the Middle East's only colonized state. To do so is to feign the reality of zionism, a racist and irredeemable movement, that survived the twentieth centuries' other genocidal and seemingly passing revolutions such as Bolshevism, Nazism, and Apartheid.

A century ago, zionism extended Western colonialism to Palestine.

The sad truth is that over a century after its founding, zionism seems to be grander and more honorable than its reality. Arabs have suffered from Zionism's belligerence and exclusivity, and many have blamed the United States, and the West, for this because of their unshakeable support of zionism. Israeli aggression over the past seven months has finally renewed international recognition that zionism is racism.

On this anniversary of the Nabke', it is now up to all Jews to follow in the footsteps of the brave few, and denounce the racist and separatist nature of zionism, while the world should encourage them to do so. The world should not allow the torchbearers of zionism to silence and quell the idealism of these few. No nationalism is pure, no movement is perfect, no state is ideal, but today, Zionism persists as a menace, a militaristic and dictatory movement to me and to most Palestinians. A century ago, zionism extended Western colonialism to Palestine; today, as in the rest of the world, colonialism must be ideologically purged from Palestine.

I believe that zionism is racism, because 53 years after being exiled from their homeland, in defiance of the four Geneva Conventions, UN Resolutions 181, 194, 242, 338, and others, and other multilateral and international human rights conventions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the disinherited refugees of Palestine, continue to endure merciless punishment from the Zionist entity, most recently in the bulldozing of makeshift homes in the Khan Younis refugee camp in Gaza.

I believe that zionism is racism, because I am a Palestinian, and without recognizing the colonialist component in zionism, I cannot explain its racist character, a western movement uprooting the native peoples of Palestine, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Samaritan alike, a people bound to their land, through centuries of raising orange groves, and herding sheep, lending grace to the Hills of God, historically, religiously and culturally.

I believe that zionism is racism, because it fails to appreciate or acknowledge the Palestinians' ties to their homeland, their love for their historical capital, Jerusalem, and the 53-yar plight they have endured as refugees worldwide, in Europe, in North America, in camps Dheishe, Shatila, Wehdaat and others, never giving up hope or struggle in yearning to return home.

I believe that zionism is racism, because it fails to admit the reality that the minority indigenous Jewish community in Palestine, that lived there for the last two thousand years, was an undistinguishable people from its Christian and Muslim Palestinian brethren, and that the leader of the Jewish community of the Jewish quarter of Old Jerusalem, Rabbi Lamram Blau, stood on the side of his Palestinian brothers and sisters being exiled in 1948.

I believe that zionism is racism because in modern times, the promise of liberal democracy and justice is a double-edged sword, preached by the Western powers, yet only paid lip-service to in the case of Israel, where Palestinian are continuously expelled, ethnically cleansed, and subjugated, and in the cases where they are assimilated, they are granted, limited, if any, civil rights.

I believe that zionism is racism, because in establishing the racially exclusive state of Israel, in 1948, and expelling the indigenous Palestinians from the land, the zionists severed a relationship that people had to the land for over 4,000 years, uninterrupted, since before Abraham.

I believe that zionism is racism, because in building Israel, the zionists were revising history, embracing the notion of racial superiority, an ideology that has empowered them to discriminate, with all of its associated social ills, injustices, and moral bankruptcy.

I believe that zionism is racism because it fails to distinguish between the nationalism of the American, based on multi-cultural harmony, and the racial exclusivity, separatism, ethnic cleansing, and brutality of zionism, that stands in clear violation of the most basic elements of international law and human rights practices, as most recently highlighted by reports issued by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

I believe that zionism is racism because in our world of post-modern identities, I know that we do not have to be "either-ors", we can be "ands and buts" – a zionist and a settler, an American citizen of Polish heritage but a soldier in the Israeli army.

I believe that zionism is racism because it self-propagates itself as a democratic movement. However, a democracy, cannot, by definition, only be representative of one community in a bi-national and tri-religious contiguous geographic area. A democracy cannot exist for one people and not for another. This as called Apartheid in South Africa, and is now called zionism in Palestine.

I believe that zionism is racism, because it espouses an independent and sovereign Jewish state, in a land where there is no Jewish majority. It espouses that such a sovereign state be at peace and harmony with its neighbors without allowing the Palestinian refugees dwelling within their borders, who were expelled from their homes in Palestine by zionist militias, as is clearly documented by numerous sources including the memoirs of David-Ben Gurion himself, to return to their homes, which is a basic human right guaranteed by Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

I believe that zionism is racism because it is presented by its champions, from Gil Troy to Elie Wiesel, as a romantic movement, which allowed zionists to reclaim the desert and build a model nation-state. This is racism at its most acute, since there was no desert in Palestine, other than the Negev in the South. This is simply a myth that has been propagated by racists who have supported Israel for the last 53 years, and economic data on agricultural exports to Europe from Palestine dating to medieval times easily rejects and exposes this as a blasphemous claim.

Yes, it sounds far-fetched today. But as Vladamir Jabotinsky, father of revisionist zionism said in a racist boast in 1923, "There can be no discussion of a voluntary reconciliation between us and the Arabs… Any native people…view their country as their national home… They will not voluntarily allow, not only a new master, but even a new partner… Colonization can have only one goal. For the Palestinian Arabs this goal is inadmissible. This is in the nature of things. To change that nature is impossible… colonization can, therefore, continue and develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local population - an iron wall which the native population cannot break through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate it any other way would only be hypocrisy."

And thus, Gil Troy and zionists abound are exposed as nothing more than unabashed racists.

That was a really racist post. When did Arizona indymedia become a soap box for Arab racism against Jews?

An even better question would be when did the indymedia as a whole become a mouthpiece for terrorists?

Why has Arizona Indyjmedia permited itself to be an outlet for the above type of racism?
