“Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.� The Declaration of Independence July 1776

For a government to be construed as “good�, that government must exercise “just power� and that “just power� is derived from the “consent of the governed.� ‘We the people’ give American government it’s mojo. No ‘we the people’ and no legitimate American government. Simple as that. Have you ever stopped to wonder what happened to American government? You know, that ‘we the people’ sort of stuff.

Congress, and by that I mean the Imperial Senate and the House of Reprehensible, has certainly fled the entire notion of ‘we the people’. America’s political lords and political ladies of leisure, have taken on a certain air of expected nobility. Darn expectation thingy can be such a drag. Our senators and representatives seem worlds of unaffected by, well, us. You, me, and that ‘we the people’ rabble thing.

American government governs these days by the consent of silence. Ergo we have the Bush junta. Fascist is as Republicans gut our Constitution. Democrats in Congress seem spineless, quivering, simpering appeasers, and play nice with the fascists simply to keep the special interest money spigots unclogged. There’s just not a lot of difference between say Sen. Joe Lieberman and Rep. Duncan Hunter. One Republican, one Democrat and I leave it to the reader to try and figure out which is which. Both are warmongering maniacs hell bent on killing Muslim children and American soldiers, male and female, are expendable. Expedient?

Should any thinking American consider “extraordinary rendition� to be a “just� exercise of American government’s power? Should Americans consider Guantanamo and the illegally detained detainees as a just exercise of government power? They’re not damn it. Rendition and detention are the work of a junta. Torture is what a junta would do to anyone that the aforementioned junta is wont to torture. The Bush junta is torturing Muslim men, women, children, and ‘we the people’ have John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales to thank for that disgrace. Oh yeah and ‘cattle prod’ Rummy.

A preemptive war of naked aggression is the work of a junta. Spun rationales and propaganda to continually prop up a preemptive war is the work of a junta. The Iraq war lacks moral foundation or any sane reason. Oh where oh where could those wmd’s be?

Why wasn’t the 9/11/01 tragedy handed over to New York City Detectives? Why did the Secret Service leave George Bush sitting in a classroom on 9/11/01? America was allegedly under attack. Why did the Bush junta wax genocidal on Iraq? What purpose does the execution of Saddam Hussein serve? Are Iraqis better off now under the Bush junta than when they were oppressed by Hussein? Would homegrown oppression be worse than say, an occupation oppression? With so much malfeasance in the Bush junta, why are the American people silent? Not all Americans, just most it would seem. Is the death of New Orleans a national disgrace? Is bigotry against Mexican migrants not a national disgrace? Has America grown completely heartless? Hmmm, given the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children mercilessly killed in Bush‘s war, I guess that’s sort of a moot question. Silence from ‘we the people’ is the consent to be governed by the Bush junta. Not all Americans are silent, just the ones that have the media access and political clout. Well and the special interest corporate money. Ah the money. Any junta knows full well that the money is the key to everything. Genocide, tyranny, oppression, and the death of democracy. Did you know that Republicans have a new branch of fascism in their ranks? Yup, it’s true. They’re called ‘Lou Dobbs Republicans’ and they hate Mexican migrants. Actually, they hate just about anyone that doesn’t think as they do. The Democrats haven’t issued any statements about Mexican migrants or hate. The migrants can’t vote.
