What Is A Patriot?
"A patriot is a person who loves his or her country ... Let no one deny we are patriots. We love our country, we hold dear the values upon which our nation was founded, and we are distressed at what our President, his administration, and our Congress are doing to, and in the name of, our great nation.

Blind faith in bad leaders is not patriotism.

A patriot does not tell people who are intensely concerned about their country to just sit down and be quiet; to refrain from speaking out in the name of politeness or for the sake of being a good host; to show slavish, blind obedience and deference to a dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights-violating president."

Laying it Out Step by Step

An incredible timeline/database of Bush Admin lies by the folks at Mother Jones. "The first drafts of history are fragmentary. Important revelations arrive late, and out of order. In this timeline, we’ve assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them?

And one more timeline/database link that focuses on Bush and Blair.

Olberman On Rumsfeld And Fascism In The USA
"That about which Mr. Rumsfeld is confused simply this: this is a democracy - STILL. ... to date this government has proved little except its own arrogance and its own hubris ... from Iraq to Katrina to flu vaccine shortages to the entire fog of fear which continues to envelop our nation, he, Mr. Bush & Mr. Cheney and their cronies have profited and benefitted, both personally and politically ... the confusion is about whether this Sescretary of Defense and this Administration are in fact now accomplishing what they claim the terrorists seek - the destruction of our freedoms ...This country faces a new type of fascism, indeed."

Let The Hearings Begin
"'...this President and his Administration must be held accountable for their misdeeds. If we in the House of Representatives, as the body charged with oversight of the executive branch, do not hold him accountable, then we have no legitimate claim to governing this country.' --Bob Barr (R-GA), 11/5/97

... So: Lights...camera...action. Let the hearings begin. Subpoena witnesses, put them under oath; and see how many of them are willing to commit perjury to protect George W. Bush and his merry band of outlaws. Then, if there is any justice in the world, George W. Bush will be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, convicted by the U.S. Senate, stripped of the Presidency, and turned over to the proper authorities to stand trial for war crimes. There is no better way for America to demonstrate to the world that it is still a nation of laws, which honors its treaties, and respects the human rights of all peoples."

Nixon Impeachment Committee Rides Again - Targets Shrub
"Back in 1973, hundreds gathered in Washington to have President Richard Nixon impeached. Now, remnants of the same group are in Norman (Oklahoma) with a similar cause ... The group, 'Committee to Impeach the President,' has traveled through Washington D.C., Virginia, Texas and Oklahoma so far ... Inside the tour bus, which has many American flags, has pictures of the original Committee to Impeach the President group, which worked against Nixon. 'Who would have ever thought we’d go through this again?' Goodnow asks. 'This is Deja vu.'"
