An Unlikely Conversation With

The Cowards in Congress

*Contributing Editor - TvNews**LIES**.org*

 

*Suppose you were an idiot... And suppose you were a member

of Congress...*

*But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain*

 

*THE DIALOGUE*

 

What shameful toads you are! Yes you, our elected

lawmakers. Yes you, the

folks we sent to Washington in our names. Yes you, the

most spineless,

cowardly and craven Congress people in history. Yes you,

the most bullied,

gutless and shameful herd of legislators ever elected. And

you know

exactly who you are.

 

Where in hell is your integrity? Where in hell is your

self-respect?

You've been led by your submissive noses to do the bidding

of liars and

warmongers. You've been suckered into applauding some of

the most

egregious crimes ever committed by a US government

<http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/the_smoking_gun_white_house_.html>.

You've

become such a pitiful collection of sniveling sycophants.

And you know

damn well who you are.

 

What's that? You want to know what you've done? Of what

odious crimes are

you guilty to evoke such striking condemnation? Is that

what you're

asking? Is that what you really want to know? You're

joking, right? Do

you want the American people to believe have no idea what

this is all

about? What nonsense that is.

 

But, for the sake of discourse, let's accept your ignorance

for the

moment. For starters, let's take a look at two provisions

in that

forgotten document, the Constitution of the United States.

Perhaps their

significance will ring a bell somewhere in your pathetic

and paralyzed

minds.

 

We can begin with Article 1, Section 8. Here, the

Constitution clearly

states that *you, and only you, have the right to declare

war. Did you get

that?* Only Congress can take on the *awesome

responsibility* of causing

death and mayhem when there is a need to go to war. Only

the Congress of

the United States has the Constitutional power do that.

Keep that in mind

as we go on.

 

Next, let's do a replay of an Article you knew only too

well a few years

ago: Article II, Section 4. It says that the President,

Vice President and

all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed

from office on

impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or

other high crimes

and misdemeanors. Remember that one?

 

Do you remember how you fell over one another to speak at

the podia of

your respective Houses to condemn Bill Clinton's private

affair with

Monica Lewinsky? You came out from under every piece of

woodwork in the

Capitol with such pompous indignation. You came from both

political

parties to wail to your constituents about the sexual

indiscretions of a

sitting President. And then you impeached him.

 

Yes, you were divided, but you crossed party lines to

demand a trial for

perjury and obstruction of justice. Keep that in mind, too.

 

You still don't understand, do you? Of course, you don't.

You still want

to know what it is you've allegedly done. You have no clue

at all. You

cannot see that your guilt has nothing at all to do with

anything you have

done. Rather, your collective culpability lies in your

*INACTION*, your

*SILENCE*, your *ACQUIESCENCE* and your docile *SURRENDER*

to the

administration of PNAC

<http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/pnac.html> as

fronted by George W. Bush. Your cowardice is reflected in

your complicity

in his crimes against this nation and the world, and your

refusal to stand

up and denounce the secrecy, the duplicity, and the blatant

lies that have

brought the United States to this terrible moment in its

history.

 

You forfeited whatever integrity you might have had as you

timidly allowed

a curtain of fear and intimidation to fall over Washington

and the nation.

You knew that, but you probably don't want to deal with it.

Denial is

salvation for some, and you probably needed to feel

self-righteous about

your role in Congress and your loyalty to your voters.

Some joke. In

fact, you are little more than cheap imitations of true

public servants.

And you know without any doubt at all who you are.

 

You still don't have a clue as to what this is all about,

do you? That,

too, is nonsense. You do know, you really do, but feigning

ignorance is

clever and effective. So let's lay it out for you in

simple terms that

even you can understand Maybe, when you take a close look,

at the facts,

you will look in the mirror with a little more skepticism.

Maybe, just

maybe, you will see yourselves as the lemmings you are. And

maybe, just

maybe, a few among you will reach back to see if your

backbones have any

chance of regeneration.
