Call out the Instigator
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
You know it's right!
- Thunderclap Newman
I'm not backing off. I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the US, which BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter's sentence (he's not ruling out a full pardon - and you know he will) has dragged me kicking and screaming back in. I can't sit back and let this BushCo drag our country further down into the murky quagmire of Fascism and violence, taking the rest of the world with them!
I have sat quietly back these past five weeks as the slaughter in Iraq sorrowfully surges along with George's bloody escalation - and as the philosophical opposition to the war has soared to almost four out of every five Americans. I have remained silent when Senator Barack Obama said that impeachment is only reserved for "grave, grave" breeches! Well, BushCo has created hundreds of thousands of graves dug by their lies and greed. For cripes' sake, George admitted to breaking the FISA Act (which is a felony) that also breeched the 4th Amendment to our Constitution that already prohibited illegal search and seizure. How was Bill Clinton's offense graver than George's, Dick's, or Scooter's? Did we ever think that the criminality and arrogance of the Nixon White House would be eclipsed in our time with nary a "baaaah" from the Sheeple in Congress?
George has said that America doesn't "do torture" when we have all seen the images of torture from Abu Ghraib (don't believe your lyin' eyes) and know that hundreds of people sold to the US Army for an immoral bounty are incarcerated within the inhumane confines of Guantanamo Prison which is right in our own back yard.
I have had to bite my tongue - HARD - as the George and Dick crime cabal, (formerly known has the executive branch) have claimed that their offices are not to be held up to the same standards of accountability and control as any other entity in the human race - governmental or private.
It has been recently reported that Nancy Pelosi said that impeachment is not "worth it." Her faulty reasoning is that impeachment would take too much time because they don't have the votes. If they could "whip" their own Democratic caucus into shape to defend and protect our Constitution and the people of Iraq and our soldiers as they whupped, cajoled, threatened and browbeat the caucus into attaching "non-binding" time lines onto the last war funding bill, then impeachment would not only be possible, but likely.
The recent commutation of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's sentence, however, was the straw that broke my camel's back of exhausted ennui. Patrick Fitzgerald is a thoughtful and thorough prosecutor who did a heroic job of bringing at least one of the Bush Crime Mob to justice. Even though we were all very pleased, we knew that it was not enough and that Mr. Fitzgerald would delve deeper into the feces-infested executive branch. The lawlessness of the Bush administration has reached Wild West proportions and the inmates definitely have control of the US(A)sylum.
A very dear friend of mine, Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, is being harassed by the Air Force for "Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman" because "The Rev" fulfills his duty as an Officer and a Gentleman honorably by protesting Iraq and the Fascist Bush Regime almost constantly. The Rev is still in the Individual Ready Reserve, so the Air Force believes it is within its parameters to pursue the charges, although every "Officer and Gentleman(woman)" should be protesting the atrocious mistakes in the Middle East. After The Rev's hearing on July 12, (in Macon, Georgia) he is going to begin a "symbolic" walk from the Reverend Martin Luther King's grave (Atlanta, Georgia) to DC - I am going to be there for him and to begin the march, but I am not going to make it symbolic.
We are going to walk from Atlanta, Georgia, to Congress beginning July 13 and ending up in DC on July 23 to send the mis-leaders back home to face the music of justice in their own districts.
It is about time us "peasants" (in the eyes of the Fascist Ruling Elite) march on DC with our "pitchforks" of righteous anger and our "torches" of truth to demand the ouster of BushCo. I have a dream of the detention centers that George has built and filled being instead filled with Orange Clad neocons and neoconnettes.
If Congress won't dig BushCo's political grave, it is the People's job to do so. Thomas Jefferson said that we need a Revolution every 20 years or so, to keep our Republic honest. Over 225 years have passed since our last Revolution (if you don't count the War Between the States) and we are long overdue for one. Turn off your TVs, kiss your pets goodbye, bring the kids and flock to the federal seat of corruption, or join us on our walk there, for a People's Accountability Movement to be in the face of the Criminal BushCo and the Complicit Congress for the last week of session before they go on their undeserved vacations (why do they get vacations when the Iraqi parliamentarians don't?)
On the eve of our first revolution: You know it's right!
Author's note: Please, I already see "Attention Whore Back." If anyone thinks that I am going to walk hundreds of miles in the Deep South during July for attention, then please join us! We will be publishing our route and plans for Accountability events along the way, within the next few days. Stay tuned.
Actually I think she ran out of money, perhaps Soros is funding her again.
BWAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaa, she still sucks. Cindy part doux...or however you spell it in french...
Meadow Muffin
Enjoy
Cindy couldn’t overthrow her lunch.
Sounds like treason to me.
I thought this “Attention Whore Back.” promised she was going away. I guess she’s like a STD that just wont go away.
Uh...Cindy who? Never heard of her...
Umm, well, yeah, actually, I'm pretty sure that's the clincher there, oh ditch witch - if you're going to walk hundreds of pointless miles in the deep south, it is only because you're an attention whore.
Good grief - the woman’s stark raving mad!
Does that mean somebody will finally be able to put her down?
scyco-cindy....have fun!!!!!
Yeah, I’m in revolt against left-wing nuts.
She owns the franchise. A new investor just showed up, or actually an old investor with $30 million in fresh campaign donations last month.
Took the words right out of my mouth. They will have sit ins and human chains.LOL
If you think that what you saw at Abu Ghraib is torture Cindy, I’d like to introduce you to an Islamisist for a little after school instruction for slow learners.
“Al Qaida...is on the run.”
Where have I heard that before? I think they have to be a little more than “on the run” before I’ll start cheering.
She's just a dried up old hippie with too much time on her hands. Let her run around hugging Castro or whoever... no one takes her opinions seriously.
Just ignore it, it’ll go away!

Cindy is going away Barbra Streisand-style: she's NOT.Every "goodbye" will be a ploy for just the opposite -- more attention.
A year from now, she will have more interviews than ever. Every year she will come back to re-state "Why I left the peace movement..."
Geez louise, can’t her family or someone do an intervention on her, for her own good. This has got to be embarassing for them. Cindy herself is too shameless or too incoherent to realize what the heck she’s doing and what she sounds like to people.
“Cindy part doux...or however you spell it in french...”
Can you spell “douche?” That would be close enough :)
“Rev. Lennox Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus”, “Thunderclap Newman”; Folks, you can’t make this sh*t up! Does she realize what a laughingstock and pathetic thing she’s become? The dems want nothing more to do with her; they’ve squeezed her dry and discarded her...

Hey Cindy — here is just a little piece of history for your empty, feeble, mind. Ever hear of a guy named Bill Clinton...??
::::: A little review....
Clinton issued 140 pardons as well as several commutations on his last day of office (January 20, 2001). When a sentence is commuted, the conviction remains intact, but the sentence can be altered in a number of ways. Some controversial actions include the following:
Carlos A. Vignali had his sentence for cocaine trafficking commuted, after serving 6 of 15 years in federal prison.
Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his mail fraud and perjury convictions, even while a federal investigation was underway regarding additional money laundering and tax evasion charges.
Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton’s brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public. Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.
Marc Rich, a fugitive, was pardoned of tax evasion, after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, among many other international luminaries. Denise Rich, Marc’s former wife, was a close friend of the Clintons and had made substantial donations to both Clinton’s library and Hillary’s Senate campaign. Clinton agreed to a pardon that required Marc Rich to pay a $100,000,000 fine before he could return to the United States. According to Paul Volcker’s independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels of oil.
Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal; McDougal had served 18 months on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton’s role.
Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman convicted in the Congressional Post Office Scandal. Rostenkowski had served his entire sentence.
Melvin J. Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, who was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography had his sentence commuted on the bank fraud charged and was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a half way house. He had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.
Roger Clinton, the president’s half-brother, on drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade before. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon.[15] He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others.
Remember now, Cindy???
Somebody...please unplug this unit.
Honest question:
Has a President, until now, ever commuted/pardoned a former member of his own administration who was convicted of a felony?
Many people here predicted the moth would dive back into the flame.
A real-life blonde joke.
Dear Cindy,
“Attention whore” is not what I call you..... “psychotic moron” seems like the most accurate expression for you.
The woman has a Borderline Personality Disorder with Histrionic features. The only reason to pay attention to her is if you like watching car crashes.
I expect a suicide attempt in the next 5 years, especially if the Dems get the White House and the media ignore her.
LOL, I like yours better....

Finally, the 21st century "I Have A Dream" speech.
This exposes the true objective of the wacko left. To imprison and silence all opposition.
Who voted this hag to represent us? No one? Then butt out Cindy!
Cindy,
How can we miss you if you won’t go away?
How about doux doux?
This is just “Cindy II: The Bitch is Back.”
Nothing but an attempt to leave the spotlight and return with more “buzz.”
A regular ole George Washington.
Welcome to FR. You seem to be a bit critical without making your own views known. I've read your brief history of posting.
This may be a good opportunity for you to 'introduce' yourself to the leading conservative website. As a start, please provide your views on what exactly "we" have been working on for the last 30 years?
“so the Air Force believes it is within its parameters to pursue the charges” Do you mean following the UCMJ Cindy?
Henry Cisneros....Clinton....he was Cabinet Sec...HUD?
I will always remember one Sheehan,this one.
Especially so tomorrow.
You have a great Independence Day,thanks for all you do.
Has a President, until now, ever commuted/pardoned a former member of his own administration who was convicted of a felony?
:::::
The question should really be: Has a President ever allowed the investigation, and wrongful and deliberate prosecution, of a former member of his own administration who had not committed a crime, until tripped-up into purgery during the investigation itself, that resulted in a federal prison sentence where no crime had even been committed to begin with??
Cindy is returning, and she hasn’t changed: she’s still stupid and ugly.
If you’reinterested in pardons you may enjoy this posting.

'cept it's been more like 'every week'.
LLS
No doubt about it, Cindy certainly is revolting.
...did I mention a savior complex?
...or is it just a well-paid but dutiful, unfulfilling typical lobbying job with perks like Soros Nutty Fringe ice cream during fasts?
