Quote by: sdbest  Counter Punch: Impeach Now or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy
Personally, I harbor great fear that Bush and Cheney, with the support of the Pentagon, the "military/industrial complex", and the right-wing media will impose a police state or military dictatorship in America in the name of national security.
As a Canadian I can't do much about it, but my American friends on this site can. Urge--by personal meeting, telephone, mail, and e-mail--your Congressional representatives in the House and Senate to impeach, try, and convict the President and Vice-President before it's too late.
America and the world can only fear an American theocratic military dictatorship or police state. What's happening in America today is eerily parallel to what happened in mid to late 1930s Germany and Italy that gave rise to Nazism, Fascism, and WWII.
To my Conservative and Libertarian opponents on this site, this is no longer an academic debate, it's the real thing.

There is nothing eerie about it. The US adopted the German model of bureaucracy and this is a huge shift of power from citizens to the government. It replaced its liberal education with the German model of education for technology military and industry. We built government new research and media links that enables government to control media, again using the German model. With these new links, Reagan scapegoated the poor to slash domestic budgets and pour money into military spending as the Germans did only they used the Jews for this shift in control and spending. Like hello, when you use the recipe for chicken soup, you get chicken soup.
Focusing on Bush and Cheney is a huge mistake. They come late on the scene and are only front men. The danger is much greater than them starting a war, which I doubt that congress will allow another war. The greater danger is Bush and Cheney are not controlled by laws, and this opens the door for following presidents to do as they please, without the control of law. The Bush and Cheney must be corrected by impeachment and this is the very reason we have impeachment law. If we fail to do so, we will have no control of the excutive branch. the checks and balances of our government will be destroyed. And thanks to the change in public education, the Christian Right without liberal education might make the destruction of our democracy happen.
