It's hard to believe that one would think of George Bush, Samuel Alito and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the same moment. Let's face it, their dreams for America and the world by all accounts, actions and professed beliefs are markedly different. However, after listening to the useless and futile questioning of Alito at the Senate hearings last week, as well as the pundits on all the Sunday shows, it is astounding that such bright, intelligent people have again been hoodwinked, duped, deceived and diverted from the real truth that glares from this nomination of BUSH Supreme Court Nominee.
The the failing here is in fact about GEORGE BUSH's leadership...again. Why hasn't anyone noticed? There is no question that Samuel Alito is qualified for the position and that he is notably the conservative nominee for the Supreme Court the far right has longed for. However, what has seemed to slip our attention is the BUSH Regime's well-orchestrated move to put still another one over on us quite by design I suppose.
When Rosa Parks died, I could see the writing on the walls and wrote about it. Now on the eve of the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King's birth with the news assuring us Alito will be confirmed, the TRUTH confronts us. How can it be in 2006 that we are satisfied with the performance and leadership of a president who chooses to ignore our racially diverse country with 293,655,404 people with 31 ethnic groups and 50.9% women in the United States. Why is it that we are so willing to allow the court's make-up to be set back decades by accepting that the best BUSH could do in finding a nominee was to choose not one, but two white male candidates and Harriet Myers. How did those serving our country miss this critical decision point in their examination???
One might think this doesn't matter, but as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. told us "It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality." So, the crime is not in whether Democrats asked the wrong questions or Republicans had a fit about it. It is the inescapable implications of this far-reaching decision that will play out in the years ahead that was allowed to slip through because we missed the point.
What do you think???
