(1) United States Constitution, Article II (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articleii.html#section1)
(2) United States Constitution, Article VI (http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articlevi.html)
(3) The God Option (Hindustan Times) (http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_304594,00120001.htm)

A very simple argument.

The oath of office taken by the President of the United States, including George W. Bush, reads: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." (1)The status of the Constitution in the United States is as follows: This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. (2) The Hindustan Times quotes George W. Bush: Even as this ghastly nautanki unfolds in the subcontinent, George ‘Mad Dog’ Bush actually comes out with the real reason why he invaded Iraq. Bush’s exact words, speaking to Palestinian leader Abu Mazen, as quoted by the Israeli daily Ha’aretz: “God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me, I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.” (3)So ... if Bush has agreed to "preserve, protect, and defend" the "Supreme Law of the Land", and yet appeals to a higher power of God in order to justify acts which do seem to be deceptive at best, illegal and murderous at worst ... has George W. Bush failed to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution by proxy of making it subordinate to a higher power?

One cannot cite Bush's freedom of religion. Why? Review the boldfaced section from Article VI of the US Constitution.

As far as lies and greed are concerned, Bush can tie up the system until judgment day as long as he holds congressional sway. In the meantime, there is something that is clear-cut, and that is that George Bush has apparently transcended the Constitution in order to justify his actions as President.

This is an impeachable offense.

A note for Fukushi: This, incidentally, is what happens when I don't smoke "enough" pot. Trust me, you prefer my brain when it's not running in its highest gear. Just thought I'd mention it since (A) you mentioned it recently, and (B) it's a pretty silly topic anyway.

:m:,
Tiassa :cool:

Interesting. This would be an excellent distraction during the election campaign.

Our President talks to God and is pretending to be the extended hand of the almighty.
…Well, if he is getting direct instructions from God, how can anyone bit that?

I think that if our most famous cowboy is hearing voices (CIA new technology), the best way to impeach him irreversibly it’s to have him mentally evaluated. He’ll come out “mentally retarded” with flying colors.

But in all fairness, all those senators that have fanatically followed this mad dog should be included in a cleansing operation. I guess we are too deep in the shit to fantasize anything, so we just shut up and continue paying the bills. Our foolish culture is also responsible.
:rolleyes:

I think Bush has narcissistic personality disorder, and while he may or may not be mentally ill, my concern is that he seems to be totally untreated, unaware and does at least act like an alcoholic or dry drunk. And, of course he's the President, with all the related power, and is surrounded by sociopathic-acting people who add to his own delusions.

Combined with a tendency to arrogance, delusion, violence, paranoia, megalomania, and the greatest office of power in the world, it's truly frightening. I don't think he has the ability to look inside himself and think about what he's doing, or to understand the many reasonable and concerned objections to what he does. He can't even take criticism or dissent; his press conferences are a joke.

The Congress needs to get off of its collective ass and bring pressure about to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment and remove him from office. By a majority vote of the cabinet and the Vice President, transmitted in writing to both the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the President may be declared "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."

:m: Peace.

You won't believe
whats in Washington DC
home of the red white and blue
There are no angels or devils
or liars with shovels
its just people like me or you.
There are men with agendas
like the brothers Menendez
with vendettas as dark as a whore.
But presented with wealth
and luck of good health
they are just kids in a candy store.
If you had their money
dipped in tax honey
you'd do the same and more.
First thing you need
is to satisfy greed
Its the power and cash you adore.
So you give some to friends
who you hope in the end
won't try to steal back whats yours.
Your friends need their favors
in green dollar flavors
or armies to capture yet more.
Right now they're all spoiled
with all of that oil
You've seen their glee on TV
So lets all take a pause

and forgive them because

they're not killing you or me

goofy is correct in his diagnosis.

I recall I was on a TV talk show nearly 30 ago and claimed that I saw evidence of organic brain disease in the behavior of Ronald Reagan. There was a clamor and much guffawing but these many years later I am proven correct.

I hope you live to see the day when goofy is proven correct.

Some words muttered by Bush over a year ago:

"Actually, I -- this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I'm talking about -- when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me."
--President George W. Bush, Hardball, MSNBC, May 31, 2000

How very interesting. Let's not forget about his opinions on atheists. Or how there ought to be limits to freedom.

Maybe Bush is the anti-christ?

Yup he's got interesting opinions about non Christians. None of which are reassuring.
