| About Bush Rage | |||||
| Before the damage days of bush, Sharon E. Streeter was a good citizen, friend, and family member. She got her hackles up when bush "won" Florida, but started venting her real frustration in March 2002 against a president beating the drums of an ill-conceived war. She hasn't stopped. The only thing that has changed for her is that she now writes more songs than poems, and has launched her "campaign" to end capitalization for the names of all White House liars and crooks. Is anyone listening? Protest marches receive no media coverage. bush and cheney shift the agenda as it suits them, and they get away with it. They lie, they spy, and they are allowed to sleep at night. It's time to impeach them, or better yet, arrest them and let them spend some time without habeas corpus at Guantanamo Bay. It's time for rage to become a fuel for action towards a better world. During his October 2005, three-day junket to China, then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld cited the U.S. Constitution in calling out to "We the People." He actually said that ". . . .it is the people that tell our government what it can do." Here, here, Rummy. | |||||
