THE CASE FOR TREASON
Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason. (OED under "Treason") 
 
The act of betraying; betrayal of the trust undertaken by or reposed in anyone; breach of faith.....  (OED under "Treason")(And see below)
 
ASK the parents of children left behind.  Ask the environmentalists.   Ask the 
signatories to the World Health Organization. Ask the people on Medicare. Ask our former allies. Ask the signatories to the Anti-Nuclear Proliferation Treaty.  Ask those out of work. Ask Ron Reagan.
 
To stand Mute in High-Treason is all one as to Confess the Fact. (Gibbon 1782)  ibid. 
 
ASK Robert Novak. Ask Joe Wilson. Ask General Taguba. Ask General Zinni. Ask Colin Powell.
 
..... treason seldom dwells with courage. (Scott 1825)  ibid.
 
ASK Robert Reich. Ask Richard Clarke. Ask Cofer Black. Ask Bob Woodward. Ask Paul O'Neill.
 
One who betrays any person that trusts him, or any duty entrusted to him.........  (OED under "Traitor")
 
One who is false to his allegiance to ...... the government of his country.  ibid.
 
QUESTION:  If Bush didn't and doesn't know what's going on, how can you accuse him of treason?
 
ANSWER:  Probably you can't. It's hard to argue, when someone, legally elected, is not competent to be President, that he has betrayed the country.  And we haven't called the President himself a traitor, we've called his administration traitorous, and the only way to get rid of the actual traitors is to get rid of the President.        
 

MISSION QUIXOTIC

Let's not shrink from the shameful truth. Name-calling is not always a last resort: in this case truthful but dramatic name-calling is the first admission of the fact that we have failed the world by electing this fool. If we do what we have to do to make sure that Bush, or his like, is never again elected to the American presidency, we can begin to regain the respect of the world. Name-calling may not be dignified, even when truthful, but it may tip the electoral scales --  a necessary first step to regaining America's place of honor among nations.

GEORGE BUSH IS AN ALL-AMERICAN SHAME
HELP US CIRCULATE PUBLIC DOMAIN WORDS AGAINST BUSH -- THE MAN HIMSELF.
 
BUSH HUMILIATES ME. BUSH HUMILIATES AMERICA AND AMERICANS BEFORE THE WORLD. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT HIM SPEAKING TO KNOW HE IS AN INCOMPETENT SCHOOLBOY.

THIS IS A FREE CLEARING HOUSE FOR OUR WORDS OF OUTRAGE.  (YOURS AND MINE AND ALL WHO VALUE OUR NATIONAL PRIDE)

To the Editor:
 
Well, the Iraqis are nominally sovereign and maybe things will not fall apart before an American administration capable of  understanding the mess we have made, and willing to cooperate in cleaning it up, is elected in November.
 
Sadaam and major cronies are in the hands of their victims! It is suggested that American troops are at the beck and call of  the temporary interim Iraqi government as they struggle to stave off disaster, and no one knows how that will succeed. At least now, with American neocons not doing the long range planning, there is the possibility of a functioning society emerging.
 
If "Fahrenheit 9/11" continues to sell well until the elections, the world will owe Michael Moore for a life-saving dose of  reality. If it peters out, and the Schoolboy President is returned to office, Americans will still owe Moore thanks for trying, even though they are impervious to facts, their collective "mind" having been made up in our failed educational system.
 
See how we all can see for ourselves what a disaster George W. is at www.schoolboybush.com  and www.bushwah.info.
And also:
 
Three cheers for Nancy Pelosi for proclaiming the incompetence of George Bush! May her courage inspire us all!
     In the April 28 Boston Globe comics "Boondocks" cartoonist Aaron McGruder found the perfect words for the distress I feel every time Bush speaks without a script:
     "...the press knows he's staggeringly dim-witted and everyone just pretends that he's not. It's like the presidency has become the Special Olympics and everyone wants to give him an award just for trying."
     Now (in the May 18 Globe op-ed) Thomas Oliphant decries Bush's "...know-it-all-ism...failed leadership...styles of imperious rejection...[there is] no way to overstate the [European] rejection of Bush's leadership." The Europeans can see the obvious.
     You don't have to be any sort of expert, or of any particular political persuasion, to know with your own eyes and ears that he doesn't know what's going on and can barely think. It's staggeringly obvious. And his disability, unlike Roosevelt's paralysis or Kennedy's Addison's disease, makes him unfit for public office, yet the media ignore the humiliation as if it were a physical embarrassment. Will Americans go on pretending that the President of the United States is not mentally handicapped until the media begin to report the truth,  not op-ed, but ipso facies, as proper news?

Topic A: SCHOOLBOY GEORGE -- THE EMPEROR WITH NO BRAINS

Is the president with no brains like the emperor with no clothes? Many people who can see the obvious don't mention it. Why? Because it is so improbable? Perhaps, on the grounds that half the people still think he thinks, they think there must be something wrong with their own perceptions. What seems so obvious cannot really be the case! 
 
Well, that's what everybody thought when they looked at the emperor, and they were all wrong.  So are we who may have doubted our senses. Even Condoleezza Rice's artful dodging and creative spinning for the 9/11 commission could not obscure the fact that we actually have a profoundly stupid man of studied ignorance and stubbornness trying to run the show. That of course is just fine with the thieves and jingoists telling him what to do and say. America hasn't had this problem since Teapot Dome, if ever before, and in order to make sure we never have it again we should send Boy George back to that school where all the children got left behind. 
 
Some Republicans who can see the obvious defend his being President on the grounds that he is really not like that in private, that he is perfectly intelligent, as well as friendly and funny, in small gatherings.  They always recur so quickly to the "friendly and funny" part that you tend to doubt their seriousness about the "intelligent" part.  In any case, it doesn't matter: the presidency is a public job if there ever was one; he, not Condi Rice, should be answering for the events of his administration; the fact that he is appallingly incapable of doing it, as proved in many prior public appearances, is not mentioned by Republicans -- yet.
 
So what can we do?  We can in all our e-mail communications express our personal dismay and embarrassment at the nature of this man, and our fears for the future of America and the World if he is returned to power in November.  Especially if you have Republican friends, put a "cry from the heart" in each e-mail to them (See sidebar item) and refer them to www.bushwah.info (this site).
 

Topic B:  A TWO-PART PROPOSITION

 
1) IT WON'T TAKE MANY REPUBLICANS SWITCHING OVER, OR STAYING HOME ON ELECTION DAY, TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!  We are a significant number (read "winning margin") of voters, who harbor a suppressed but powerful visceral aversion to George W. Bush in his own person, we are morally obliged to say clearly how we feel, using words strong enough to signal to each other that this aversion is inevitable and proper, and to remind the rest of the world that not all Americans are like Bush.

2) Our clearly expressed and proudly shared aversion can ENCOURAGE A WIDESPREAD RECOGNITION OF THE AVERSION IN THE HEARTS OF OTHERS and so precipitate Bush's decisive rebuff in November. By using the new instrument of BLOGS, and by repeating language that we offer to each other in the public domain, we can reassure each other that it is ALL RIGHT, indeed, healthy and intelligent, to feel so stricken, to see and hear him as a schoolboy president playing with war, as an illiterate bully who makes us cringe and who humiliates America and Americans before the world.
 
In accordance with these propositions, and as a first offering to the public domain of corrective-language politics, we submit for your use and elaboration this starter package of language ad Bush. May it be fruitful and multiply! Don't just cringe and hold back. Speak your heart. You must share your feelings for the good of America and the world!

Topic C: A BIG IDEA --MAKE IT EASY FOR THE LITTLE GUYS TO CONTRIBUTE!

I was just looking over Carvilles's latest U.S. Postal appeal for funds for the DNC and realized I ought to be able to send it over the web the way I pay many other bills. So I sent it to the South Capitol St. address. If I had thought of this when I first got an appeal from Terry McAuliffe, I would have sent one then, too.

Then it struck me: $10 or $25 is not the problem, it's the nuisance. People who pay on line (young voters?) (liberal voters?) would be much more likely to contribute small amounts on line if it were only in their consciousness to do it. On line banking and PayPal could get our country back.

SO SUGGEST IT IN THE APPEALS!

Then it really clobbered me:

SUGGEST THAT DEMOCRATS HIT THE KEYBOARD WITH A SMALL CONTRIBUTION AFTER EVERY OFFENSIVE REPUBLICAN TV AD.

Run some TV spots devoted to the idea and footnote it in all direct mail. Talk it up on CNN and NPR.

Maybe bigger contributions for a nauseatingly offensive TV ad. I leave it for you to total up the consequences. Here is a start:

1) Every time the RNC spends money on a TV ad, the DNC gets a flood of small contributions. Instant feedback.

2) Republican ads stimulate Democratic contributions to the DNC. The more disgusting the ad, the more and bigger the contributions. It would tie the bastards in knots!

3) The pain of the long campaign would be spread over small installments. With monthly payments you don't have to be rich to afford a fancy vacuum cleaner. Ordinary Democrats are used to this -- in their millions.

4) It makes it possible for the little guy, full of outrage after a sleazy ad, to vent immediately at the keyboard -- giving it right back to the RRRR. (That's "Radical Religious Republican Right)

Points to Tack to Your e-Mails

  • "The most fairest way to give tax relief is to give everybody tax relief." (GWB 7/2/04) 
    Also (same talk) "If you build a lousy boat and charge too much for it, nobody is going to buy them."

  • SIMPLE  GEORGIE   5/15/04

    Thin courage hot,
    Thin courage cold,
    Simple Georgie on the spot
    Nine years old.
     
  • 5/05  Blame the Boots for the Abuse?  The reason this abuse of prisoners has festered is the same mindset that leads the administration to say about additional troops and money, "The people on the ground know what they need. If they ask for it they will get it." In Bush's America the buck passes down. 
  • 4/21  Bush at the Omni Shorham Hotel in DC: I don't know how long he's going to talk. He's answering questions again, and proving incontrovertably again that he is totally unqualified for his job. He says nothing new to the accelerating storm in Iraq. "At least I'm answering it" he says about some question. "God bless" he says at the end. I say, "God save us from the flustered blustering schoolboy!"
  • 4/16  Are the Republicans crazy?  (Joint Blair/Bush press conference)
    Letting Bush speak alternately with Blair at a joint press conference? They should have let Blair stand alone.
  • Schoolboy Bush tried a joke about submitting questions in writing when a reporter asked if he'd made any presidential mistakes. That didn't work, so the schoolboy gave a strangled denial that he'd ever made a mistake. Not ever, Dubya? 
  • Bush's shamefully tiny intellect is starkly revealed when he speaks in turn with an intelligent man. His firmness in stating the obvious makes it clear how new the obvious is to him. He knows that Sept 11 comes before Sept 15 but he's not sure what he said then.
  • Richard Clarke: A new American Patriot speaks truth to a lying administration.
  • The New American Patriot tells the liars the truth.
  • If Richard Perle "had no idea" (by his own declaration on CNN 3/28/04) that, when the second plane hit, it was Bin Laden, it's no wonder America is in profound trouble.
  • Compare schoolboy Bush to Richard Clarke, our New American Hero.
  • If Condi Rice comes clean, she will go down in history as a brave American patriot.
  • RRRR -- the Radical Republican Religious Right.
  • If you think Bush isn't a parrot, check out his beak.
  • Any fool, except maybe a diehard RRRR fool, can tell that Richard Clarke, unlike Bush, cares about being truthful and honorable.
  • When Clarke is asked a question, he gives an answer intended to be precise and complete; when Bush is asked a question he gives a response that is the closest canned answer his maundering brain can find.
  • The RRRR, thinking we are all as stupid as they are, call it "flip-flopping" when someone is able to see two sides to an argument, or perceive a change in the state of the world.
  • "A foolish consistency is the hobgobolin of [Bush-like] little minds."

If you have any strong words, phrases, anecdotes or other illumination of the Puppet-In-Chief,  please send them to me. The world may be forever grateful.  (That's a zero after bushwah.)
