Yesterday I responded to a blog by someone called Kelsey (myspace.com/OldManKLC) and I was censoredAlthough he claimed the left would not respond to reason, he refused a response from a middle of the roader like me because it made him look ignorant. He then e-mailed me an told me it was because my use of Thomas Jefferson disgusted him and I had no right. He said he would only allow direct quotes from Jefferson, none from me.

With that in mind, and to get this off my chest, I have put together the following information which I hope explains my feelings on many things the ultra right believes.

In reference to the commuting of Libby's sentence:

"The laws of our country... in offenses within their cognizance, compel those who have knowledge of a fact to declare it for the purposes of justice and of the general good and safety of society. And certainly, where wrong has been done, he who knows and conceals the doer of it makes himself an accomplice, and justly censurable as such."

Although I agree that Clinton may have committed crimes, he did face impeachment and was acquitted. This may have been a poor decision, but it was a decision made after being presented in court and should be considered as final. The rule of law must always be followed, and it was with the Libby case. President Bush has the power to commute the sentence, and even pardon him completely. I personally have never contested that. In my opinion it has been a series of poor and unfavorable decisions which have turned the majority against the president. Now it is time for him (the president) to stand trial, just as Clinton did.

"A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering."

The continued lies and midleading of the citizens by this administration has the majority of Americans outraged. They are opening their eyes to the atrocities and demanding change and accountability.

"Our fellow citizens have been led hoodwinked from their principles by a most extraordinary combination of circumstances. But the band is removed, and they now see for themselves."

The American people want the truth, and as long as this administration continues its game of conspiracy and cover up, the truth will be buried. The most important part of the Libby situation is that the cover up remains and those responsible for the most heinous crimes are being protected.

"Follow truth as the only safe guide, and... eschew error, which bewilders us in one false consequence after another."

I personally do not blame Bush for any of this. I don't believe he is capable of this kind of corruption. I voted for him knowing full well that he was not a strong leader, unaware of the turmoil we would face early in his presidency. I was also unaware of just how devious and evil Cheney really is. I believe Bush is being forced into difficult situations which ultimately benefit corporate America and Dick Cheney. Someone has coerced this passive man into doing things he doesn't understand and cannot control. With very little time left in this administration, expect even more deception and lies. The difficult times have distracted the American people from much of this through a very real threat of terrorism, which may or may not have been sensationalized by this administration as a means of leverage. But finally people are seeing the big picture, and they are not at all happy. They are educating themselves on the issues and demanding answers. Soon those responsible for the corruption and lies will be held accountable.

"The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of [their] war [for independence, a nation begins] going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of [that] war will remain on [them] long, will be made heavier and heavier, till [their] rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion."

If you support this administration, you should pay very close attention to the people in the very near future. When the majority finally speaks change will come and people will be held accountable for their actions. When change comes, and the crimes are finally exposed, will you change your opinion or be stubborn and closed minded still? Will you then be considered the radical extremist whacko? Or will you use your good sense to analyze the facts and make a reasonable decision?

"It is rare that the public sentiment decides immorally or unwisely, and the individual who differs from it ought to distrust and examine well his own opinion."

We are all in this together America. Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike. The control of our government is in the hands of the wealthy and the corporations. Our politicians are corrupted by lobbyists and we are not properly represented. Change must start at the top if we are to send a message.

Please consider the outrage you are feeling as justified and join my campaign to

IMPEACH BUSH. Read my blog: Representation, It's Your Right, at: http://blog.myspace.com/angryforefather. Then Pass it On to as many people as you can. We The People can make a difference, but we must act now.

All Power To The People!

Sincerely,

Thomas Jefferson
