Washington still doesn't get it! America isn't for Sale!

Our current President, Barrack Hussein Obama is a likable guy. Well educated, articulate, and compassionate. However he does not understand that to get what one wants in Washington, one must be willing to fight for convictions that are true to one's heart, and not by capitulations to the worst of the other side.  Of course he knows this, but he does not put actions into his deeds. The President has the Bully pulpit but does not know what to do with it. Giving more speeches to Republicans and hoping that somehow they will see his point has been an utter failure for this administration, yet the President continues down the path of no return.

In my lifetime I have only seen this road to destruction only increase to a point where it will be most futile to think that America will be anything other than a Kingdom with serfs, as slaves in the modern World, enabled by self serving greedy politicians who have used the Military and Police forces to rob the citizens of their own country.
Listening to our President begging republicans to agree with his point of view is very sad indeed, because they know all too well that they will vote against anything he is trying to accomplish. Their stated goal is to see this President fail miserably, and so far this game plan has worked very well.
How can America change for the better  and progress into the 21st Century when both the republicans and the President think that the best course of action, is no action?
Folks, this is war.
It is us against them!
Greed against the ethical!
People vs. Corporations!
When I voted for this President back in November of 2008, and  I thought that maybe, just for once, something really far reaching had occurred, but I was wrong.
Instead we get the "Change" advertising, but then  basically do the same as the last two Presidents.
This Peace prize President has now ratcheted up the war in Afghanistan, and pushing an even higher Military budget through, almost like G.W. Bush, "the incompetent"?
Where is the difference?
Where is the "Change"?
Where is the Hope?
Where is the real Leadership?

The use of Prisoner Torture . under ex- President G.W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney

What is the difference of the "Good Guys" and the "Bad Guys" in life?

One group of people, the Good Guys  use "Human" ethics and morality to make choices of every kind, and the second group of people, the Bad Guys use whatever means is necessary to accomplish their task.

Ethics or no ethics. Morality or no morality.

The end justifies the means to this second group.

Normally we call this second group Criminals.

I am not talking religious ethics and morality because then we get into torturing women for clothing choices, witch burning, stoning women to death for any reasons, degradation of females for the benefit of males justified by the use of a fictional God, and for that subject I will tear religion a new asshole in another piece!

In America we stand behind the notion that fairness, compassion, tolerance, sympathy, empathy, kindness, discipline, strength, courage, sportsmanship, leadership are the ultimate qualities of a Human being. That these qualities we would want our children to learn and practice throughout their lives as well, because this shows that we have evolved above and beyond simple animal nature.

What does it say then that the President, and Vice President of the previous administration, G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney believed that in order to accomplish their goal of protecting the citizens of the USA that they would condone the use of torture? That even though the USA and other countries around the World had signed a Geneva convention agreement  60 + years ago not to use torture for any reason, that these two men G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney thought that they would throw away this bilateral agreement and instead make their own unilateral agreement that only they would vote for, and not the rest of the citizens of America, standing 300 Million strong?

These same two men that never went to war. These same two cowardly men that did not have or want anything to do with "protecting" American interests during the Vietnam war. These same two men that created fictional reasons to invade Iraq where 100,000's of Iraqi citizens have died, and over 5,000 US servicemen and  women gave their lives for absolutely no reason other than being used as pawns to protect the interests of Corporate Oil companies, Halliburton, and the Military Industrial Complex of America.

That these same two men decided that torture is the only way to get information from prisoners whom the USA was and is responsible for to this very minute and whereas  the CIA interrogators and the CIA itself has repeatedly stated that it is much better to use alternative methods for recovering information without torture. That these two men, G.W.Bush and Dick Cheney each being married, and having children, Mothers and Fathers, felt that the only way to get information was to torture other human beings, and in many cases condone killing these prisoners in our care would also be the same men that say that they receive their marching orders from God?
It is way past time to prosecute these two war criminals G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney to the fullest extent of the law so that the US of A can set an example to ourselves and to the World that when people in the service of their country, in leadership positions in the highest offices of American politics, commit heinous crimes of morality, they will be held accountable, and punished.
