Did You Know...
Mar. 5th, 2005 12:47 pmRumsfeld was Secretary of Defense for the end of the Vietnam war? That Dick Cheney was his aide?
All of these assholes have been in the White House or in the wings for DECADES. The same old white men pulling the same shit over and over again. Putting puppets in power while they pull the strings. Making the same mistakes!
The problem is that we have no sense of history. The media has no memory. Why is it that I have to learn on a Frontline documentary about Donald Rumsfeld's past *after* he has been installed to power?
WHY do we have non-elected officials with so much power in control for so long?? There is no accountability, there is no democracy. We have been the dupes of the same crypto-fascists for forty years! Why isn't there a process in place to control any aspect of cabinet decisions - like term limits! Something that would prevent a person involved with the debacle of Vietnam from coming back to power to repeat history in Iraq??
And people wonder why so many are jaded with the election process. Electing a new president doesn't mean shit when the same cabinet controls the country again and again.
