It Makes You Wonder
Imagine that this is what you think:
These are the opinions of the moonbat BushHitler crowd, the unhinged who suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Except they're not. Retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson was Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell between 2002 and 2005. His opinion appears in the Baltimore Sun.
It is fair to ask whether it is honorable -- or even honest -- to hold such views and yet to pretend to work to implement them as the policy of the elected Government of the United States. Only a truly astonishing level of hypocritical dishonesty, or a disabling mental condition, could permit such a thing. Did Secretary Powell, to all appearances himself an honest and honorable man, know that the most senior member of his staff believed that Mr. Powell's superior, the Constitutional official at whose pleasure he served, was responsible for putting America on the radical path to ruin?
What -- exactly -- is going on here?
[UPDATE] And, by the way, the quotation from de Tocqueville is phony (but common). See HERE.
As Alexis de Tocqueville once said: "America is great because she is good. If America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."You are entitled to your opinion, of course, however feverish the terms in which you determine to express it. But what might such opinions lead you to do with your life?
In January 2001, with the inauguration of George W. Bush as president, America set on a path to cease being good; America became a revolutionary nation, a radical republic. If our country continues on this path, it will cease to be great - as happened to all great powers before it, without exception.
From the Kyoto accords to the International Criminal Court, from torture and cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners to rendition of innocent civilians, from illegal domestic surveillance to lies about leaking, from energy ineptitude to denial of global warming, from cherry-picking intelligence to appointing a martinet and a tyrant to run the Defense Department, the Bush administration, in the name of fighting terrorism, has put America on the radical path to ruin.
