Censure the president

If the Founding Fathers had thought dissent were unpatriotic, we'd still be singing 'God Save the Queen'

President George W. Bush has:

-authorized an almost certainly illegal domestic spying program

-repeatedly defended the Guatanamo Bay camp where kidnapees are kept indefinitely without trial, accusation or either (which constitutes, in and of itself, a form of torture)

-launched a hideous, unprovoked war of aggression against Iraq

-insisted we 'stay in the course' in Iraq (whatever that means) despite overwhelming evidence that our continued presence is doing more harm than good both for Iraqi security and our own.

There's quite a bit more malfeasance I'm omitting.

So naturally, the far right believes the president should be censured.

Oops, my bad. They want the president censured, just not the sitting president.

Then again, the president they want censured has won a Nobel Peace Prize, something the current president has no chance in heck of being nominated for. Maybe if Jimmy Carter had launched an assault on civil liberties and an unprovoked war of aggression, the far right might think more favorably of him.
