Is there no end to the neocon capacity to lie? The sheer number of crimes Bush and his coterie of criminal clowns commits and the equally outrageous lies served up by his managerie of catering sous chefs to shore up those crimes is absolutely phenomenal, and even laughable! Let's examine a recent bowel movement from frequent fibber MosesKnows, a rising star amongst the PT neocon papmeisters, and just one of the many White House lackeys unable to extract his head from Bush's rectum.
MosesKnows can sound very convincing. He doesn't share that shrill school-girl voice that Dr. Vic Ferrari, BS, MBS, PhBS, LLBS, JDBS, MDBS has, and he generally doesn't speak using condescending language; but my friends, in the greatest tradition of Richard Nixon, he is one prolific raconteur. MosesKnows has a red-phone direct line to the Rush Limbaugh Spin-a-Lie and Pharmacy service. And his latest delicacy is sure to please even the most discerning neocon palate.
The topic on everyone's mind these days is, of course, the "snoopgate" fiasco starring Dim Son and his favorite lap-dog, Condi Rice of NSA fame. Dim doesn't think he violated any law, and of course MosesKnows is right there to scoop up the Presidential poo-poo, but not before the stench permeates the neighborhood! Moses proffers that during a time of war, the President, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, enjoys plenary powers and has full authority to kick any law to the curb in the name of national security. He cites the Japanese-American concentration camps and the secret searches and seizures of German-Americans' properties during World War II as the rationale for Bush to conduct illegal wiretaps on American citizens during the war on "terra." MosesKnows suggested that a "mature" interpretation of the Constitution leaves no alternative but to ignore the law as a matter of practice and supplant the law with actions expressly forbidden by law if necessary - with no oversight, to boot. "This thing has to run its course," he lowed, "then we can sort it all out when its all done." MosesDoesntKnow that the legal issues surrounding Bush's latest liberty with liberty are the FISA and the Patriot Act, NOT Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution - Moses wants you to think the 18 September 2001 Congressional Authorization to Use Force as agreed to somehow amended the FISA and magically activated some dormant presidential extraordinary powers clause to authorized warrantless wiretapping of American citizens. I would caution Moses to question any opinion coming from an Alberto Gonzales Justice Department - after all, it was HE who advised Bush that torture was not only legal, but desireable! But MosesKnows is too much the Repuke hack to consider good advice.
My initial reaction to MosesKnows' commentary was "What a f-----g idgit!" Now that I've had several hours to ponder MosesKnows' proposal, my response to the hyperbole is "What a f-----g idgit!" The man does not know the value of his own Constitutional rights. He doesn't know much about the Constitution either! It is difficult to remain patient with neocons who defend George W. Bush regardless of the quantity and scope of his crimes.
The problem with Moses' ridiculously flawed interpretation of the Constitution is that he thinks this issue is about George Bush, when in reality it's about We the People. It doesn't matter to Moses and his neocon camaraderie that George Bush has no compunction about breaching the public trust -- a trust that is the very essence of democratic government. MosesKnows purports a recipe for fanatical Fascism in America. And when you ask people like Moses legitimate questions like "do you think the President has any other law enforcement/national security actions in progress or planned that fly in the face of the law," you get the typical neocon non sequitur about Bill Clinton, or you get some half-baked nitwit notional that we should trust Bush and his motives and his friends and his word and everything about him -- implicitly -- because he is a good, honest, hardworking, Christian American (I have to remind Moses to add white, Anglo-Saxon prostestant to the Bush credentials). Moses surmises that Bush will not be impeached, not because he is innocent of the high crime he admitted to, but because he is the President and the President can do as he damn well pleases because he is the President--talk about the circular logic fallacy of begging the question!
One last note: Bush's wiretapping revelation reminds me of his 18 December 2000 "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier just as long as I'm the dictator" comment. Perhaps the former Texas Governor was trying to tell us something after all--maybe we didn't take him as seriously as we should have! Of course history makes some of us all the wiser to the totalitarian motives of the George Bushs and Dick Cheneys of this world, and some of us (like MosesKnows) become so enthralled in party politics, we forget that history is replete with bad men, who, like someone who is suicidal, often make vague references as to their ill intentions that wind up being missed, second-guessed, spun or ignored by the very people they can hurt the most. MosesKnows is oblivous; oblivious to the fact that George Bush is trampling on his rights as an American citizen, and more importantly, he is oblivious to that green leafy foliage sprouting at the end of his rapidly elongating snout. MosesKnows? MosesKnows nada, nothing, ne rien! MosesKnows how to lie like a rug.
