The Briar Patch

We live in prickly times.

Sex, Lies, and True Justice!

Well, Elliott Spitzer has hit the dust! Personally, I'm very irritated that some rich guy can afford high class prostitutes when I can't even afford a new pair of glasses.

If you hire a prostitute, you can lose your political job immediately (especially if you are a Democrat). However, you can be the leaders of a country, and you can start a horrendous, unacceptable war based on lies. You can kill thousands and thousands of people and hurt and maim many more. Do you pay for your crimes? You should be tried and hanged, but it seems you are above the law.

Having said that, I would like to know when President Bush and Vice-President Cheney will be handed the justice that their heinous crimes so richly deserve! They have given us the lies, the war, and an approaching economic depression. They have allowed corporations to run rampant over us. They are taking away our rights a law at a time.

Recently Bush vetoed a bill that stopped the practice of waterboarding. He vetoed it! This is a man who claims to be a Christian! Bush, who would Jesus torture?

Who is holding them accountable? Certainly not the Democrats! How many illicit photos and tapes do they have on you people? Is there anyone in Congress that is not blackmail bait? When are you going to arrest these people and march them out of the White House in chains? Do you have no spine?

Someone recently told me that these people would get their justice on their judgment day. I said I would only believe it if I saw it. There is no true justice unless the people who have been victims of these tyrants see the justice meted out. Otherwise, there really is no justice!

Bringing this back to the prostitute thing, what about Jeff Gannon? Do you remember Jeff Gannon? He frequented the White House until he was outed. What was that all about? Is a male prostitute in the White House more acceptable than Spitzer's high class call girls? Were his visits about prostitution, or was he there with sex, lies, and videotape that could be used against the Democrats? Then when a Democratic Senator or Representative don't want to vote for your bill, you just whip out the photos!

What have we become, that we allow this to continue?

re "What have we become, that we allow this to continue?"
What indeed? Sigh.sad

I realize your entire post is not about Iraq, but I infer that when you also wrote " They have given us the lies, the war,.." you were alluding to Iraq. In this regard, please visit my page, if you wish to, and see the "war poems" I have written about such things - the links on my sidebar there will show you a category - see
POEMS: PHILOSOPHY: WAR

Best wishes.

Thank you for your response, Lokutus Prime! I read your sad and haunting but beautifully written poems. I didn't find a place to comment, so I hope you see this. Blessings!
