Elections - What Elections?: Part 1

The Bush Administration is a direct and systematic challenge to the Framers of this country. It is the embodiment of the resurgence of the despotic terror the Framers set out to frustrate when they designed this country.

The Bush Administration is on a course of full frontal and vicious attacks against the Framers' vision. It is an attack on the Framers' legacy of strength through freedom. It is a strategic assault on the protection of our liberties through constitutional design and that design's vigilant application against the rise of the tyranny of consolidated power that will always, and guilefully, promise safety from manufactured foes both domestic and foreign at the price of our freedoms - and at the price of destroying the very constitutional framework designed to enable the protection and defence of our primal desires for freedom from the monstrosities of despotic systems and men.

The Administration’s onslaught on the founding fathers’ ideals of Enlightenment, and their constitutional designs so crafted to frustrate the rise of what this Administration represents and bulwark against power’s inherent propensity to destroy freedom and liberty, is exactly what these Framers never wanted to happen in America.

They knew however that it very well could happen – and would happen once we were lulled into a false myth of being immune through some God-ordained destiny from the growth of tyranny from within.

The Framers of America worried near exclusively about an assault on freedom by powers from within rather than from beyond and they worried for good reason for they were well versed per intimate experience and scholarly study of the history of man and her despotic rulers.

The Bush Administration excels at the manufacture and sales of visions of terrifying ghostly foes from afar as it seeks to justify the destruction of all freedoms within to gain penultimate power. Make no mistake whatsoever - this is the exact tyranny the Framers so feared. This is why the designs of the Framers are being systematically shredded one Patriot Act, Signing Letter, and Supreme Court nomination after the other. Power does not want to be bridled. The beast wants free reign and you and your few remaining freedoms are the enemy. A few Al-Qaida thugs could never touch that.

The noble design of America is being destroyed by counterdesign from within. The good news is that we haven’t seen anything yet.

The bad news is that we obviously haven’t seen anything yet.
