Russ Feingold of Wisconsin has called for a resolution to censure President Bush for his NSA wiretapping crimes. I believe Bush should be impeached over this. One section of our Constitution stands above the rest and it is the Bill of Rights. I believe the Bush Boy is violating both the fourth and first amendments.
Think there is no connection? Well these amendments have been connected from the very start. William Penn told his religion to all who would listen. Zenger wrote a paper for people to read. But I am not referring to these guys. I want you to think about Algernon Sidney.
Algernon Sidney wrote something that contained his thoughts that all political power should reside with the parliament or the people. Years after he wrote it, the king's men broke into his house and ransacked it until they found the manuscript. For this writing, Algernon was beheaded. For a half century after the American "Declaration of Independence" writers in support of liberty in the U.S. signed their letters with the name of Algernon Sidney.
Our feckless Congress will fail to take responsible action. Instead I have already heard a person in Feingold's own Party (Senator Joseph Isador LIEberman) denounce Russ for his correct and
brave position. The cowards in Congress will set a fine example for the common folk showing them how to "know your place."
Most papers in this country are socialist much like Mr. Feingold. But will they support him? I would say very few. But as Mr. Sidney's case demonstrates, once the fourth amendment is violated, can the first be far behind. Indeed, the reincarnation of Abe Lincoln stalks this land in the name of W. Bush. How short are the memories of those who run the press?
