Tirade
What does Dick Cheney have to do before the Department of Justice will
prosecute him? Aren't any of these illegal activities Cheney directed
enough to warrant at least an investigation of him and his team of
operatives at the highest levels of government in the Department of
Justice, Department of Defense, CIA, and the White House?
* torture
* murder
* war profiteering
* lying to the nation, Congress and the United Nations about
"intelligence" proving an Iraq-Al Qaeda connection in order to
convince the United States to attack, invade and occupy Iraq
* threatening the sovereign nation of Iran
* ordering the CIA to keep one of its programs secret from
Congress
* setting secret energy policy
* destroying records of meetings and emails
* exposing the identity of a covert CIA agent
* wiretapping
* elimination of habeas corpus
* allowing the tragedy of September 11, 2001 to occur, resulting
in the deaths and injuries of thousands of people, traumatizing the
nation, and destroying our economy and civil liberties
Cheney may also be involved with the anthrax incidents, the election
irregularities of 2000 and 2004, and the deaths of a number of people
critical of his activities or with incriminating knowledge. We may get
the truth with a robust prosecution, and must convince Eric Holder
that prosecution is essential for the survival of our republic.
The CHENEY SLOGAN CONTEST
The challenge is to come up with a slogan that resonates with the vast
majority of citizens who suspect Cheney of illegal acts and want him
held accountable, and that inspires people to take action, such as to
call and email Eric Holder to ask him to order an investigation and
prosecution of Cheney and his nefarious colleagues to numerous to
list.
The slogan has to be serious but catchy, and not just humorous. It has
to encompass the guilt, lawbreaking and far-reaching criminal
activities of Cheney while suggesting a remedy.
I will ask George Lakoff to judge the entries (I'm meeting him
tomorrow night at an event). I submitted a couple of entries so I
can't judge it myself.
