OH MY GOD!!! I need to vent about something for a minute. I can't believe there is an actual debate going on in our country about Mark Felt (Deepthroat). There are actually people out there who feel he is a traitor to this country. ?!?!?!?!!!!! Are you fucking kidding me?!! Since when is telling the truth about corruption going on within our own government (and at the highest level!) being a traitor. What he did was for the BENEFIT of our country! Nixon was corrupt, and shady and he got called out on it. Let's see if I can think of a more recent example.....hmm....let's see.....oh yeah! I know. How about President Clinton! First let me say that I love me some Clinton. He was one of our greatest Presidents, and I don't for one minute GIVE A SHIT WHO HE GETS A BJ FROM!! That has nothing to do with the actual business of politics, whereas what Nixon was doing was in everyway related to his job of politics. However, many people feel that what President Clinton did does reflect on his role as President, so for arguments sake, let's go with it. Did anyone, for one minute, call Linda Tripp a traitor to this country?! NO!! Why? Because she exposed questionable behavior and lies that our President was involved in. .......WTF.... So, how is it that Mark Felt is a traitor! People throw that term around too much anymore. Jane Fonda was a traitor. Mark Felt, not a traitor. It is not acting against our country and it's people to expose law breaking in government, it's YOUR CIVIC DUTY!!! Of course the Republicans feel he is a traitor because they lost one of their crooked Presidents and they looked like shit! Well, you know what, DEAL WITH IT!! HE WAS A CRIMINAL, A LIAR, AND A CHEAT AND HE DESERVED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO HIM!! YOU SHOULD
WANT PEOPLE TO FIGHT FOR TRUTH IN GOVERNMENT...
NOT CONDEMN IT!!! Fuck...it pisses me off! On Bill O'Reilly's website there is a poll about this very subject. It reads:
"Is Mark Felt (Deepthroat):
- a hero
- a villain
- too hard to say"
A "villain"?! Really? Osama Bin Laden is a "villain". Ursala the sea witch is a "villain". And, "too hard to say". Oh fuck! Take a stand on the issue. People piss me off. ::sigh:: Just needed to get that off my chest.
Anyhoo....
I wanted to share with you all an email I received today from Move On PAC regarding the "Downing Street Memo." I encourage everyone to read this, especially Dubya supporters. More importantly, you need to sign this petition.
'Last month, the Times of London printed "smoking gun" evidence that long before the invasion of Iraq the Bush administration was determined to go to war, intentionally distorting intelligence, and lying to the American people.
The proof comes from the classified minutes of a British cabinet meeting, referred to as the "Downing Street Memo." So far President Bush has refused to explain or directly respond to the memo, but pressure is mounting daily from Congress and the public. This week Tony Blair visited Washington and the press finally started asking the obvious questions—creating a critical opportunity to turn up the heat.
One Congressman, John Conyers of Michigan, has started a citizens petition—demanding that Bush directly respond to the evidence of deception contained in the Downing Street Memo. When half a million Americans sign, Rep. Conyers will personally deliver the signatures to the gates of the White House.
If we can reach 500,000 signatures today we can bring this scandal to light while the story is still hot. Please add your voice today:
