Note to Dems: While you're dickering

yeah, yeah, yeah... i'm still banging this drum... fortunately, there are people like maccabee at daily kos who tend to agree with me...
While you are dickering over whether to pass legislation with teeth or to pass legislation that won’t work at all, the United States is detaining and torturing thousands of people in gulags around the world

While we want you to shut down this kleptocracy, while we want you to change course in bankruptcy law and we want you to start fixing public education and while we want you to bring the troops home, keep something in mind.

There is something we cannot wait another two years for. It is the single biggest mistake we have ever made and if we cannot fix it, then this country doesn’t deserve to survive.

Stop.

The.

Torture.


As a matter of fact Congressmen, turn on your computer, click on Google. Then type into the little window "US + torture". You will get 22,100,000 entries.

There shouldn’t be even one of these.

While you’re out there in Beltway Land letting the Republicans filibuster you on every single item, US officials or surrogates are waterboarding people. We beating them. Keeping them from their families. Not allowing them to be represented or have a trial.

While you put all your attentions on stopping this madman, his henchmen are breaking every principle of civilization, every law in the Constitution and in fact, every law of God.

the occupants of the white house and many of the departments and agencies of the executive branch are criminals, criminals who are intent on destroying the very fabric of the united states, and they will continue to do so unless and until we band together and show them the door... of this you can be sure, it won't stop otherwise...
