Wexler urges hearings on Cheney trial
By GEORGE BENNETT
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
What do higher fuel-efficiency standards, expanded children’s health care and improved relations with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono have in common?
According to U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Delray Beach, those are just a few of the benefits America can reap if Congress holds hearings on the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.
Wexler, who represents an ultra-Democratic Palm Beach-Broward district, recently took an e-mail poll of about 3,000 constituents and found 61 percent in favor of impeaching Cheney and removing him from office. Wexler insists he hasn’t prejudged the matter but wants hearings to probe whether Cheney manipulated intelligence to bamboozle the U.S. into war with Iraq, which Wexler voted to authorize in 2002.
At last week’s Palm Beach County Democratic Executive Committee meeting, Wexler took issue with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s declaration that impeachment should be “off the table.” And Wexler disputed the notion that impeachment hearings would be a distraction, asserting instead that they would help the Democrats’ domestic agenda and lift America’s status abroad.

Neo-Conservative Evangelism. The Traders conned you all to gain Executive Office, selling spin and family values, even while investing your money in oil war futures. Every body knows. The boot licking golden parachute crowd keeps making money and encouraging our addictions to expensive energy as long as our oil is in the hands of suicidal faithful Muslim bomb retards.
They conned worthy men of God about what you’re so afraid of (“the world’s so sinful!”). They spooked you about gays and blowjobs to get Executive Power, then they tangled with the faithful crazies in the other hemisphere over oil money. They don’t even bother to hide their heresy, treason, and war crimes, as long as simple denial works.
There will always be another war, for a future economic cycle, over some thing God said. They’ve almost got it mastered, and they play it to us like angels’ harps; like the Muezzin singing from their towers. It’s the greatest Oil commercial ever:
Through the wonders of modern technology, when I turn my ignition key, a car bomb goes off somewhere else. The Muslim world, as a whole, has history’s long training and every human motivation, and also good reasons, to make our good Christian need as expensive as possible to get.
The very definition of this expense is that people in high places get paid mints.
As long as we consume this product and pay them, the bloodier the conflict – the more profitable, for their war lords and ours. Peace means losing money all around. Why do you think all those Energy Cabinet meetings were so secret? They all got real sweet paying gigs.
Our war lords wear expensive suits, jack. We shoot from great distance and insulation, and ours have the best war toys. You elected them because you believed them, or because they claimed to believe as you do?
The other side’s poor bastards didn’t even get to elect their war lords.
Democracy triumphs!
Either way, they all said there would come a Great Deceiver. Both good and peaceful religions are being duped by an insider trading campaign. Lets just call that a conspiracy theory. It’s so obvious. Big Oil and the Arab aristocracy have no interest at all in stopping this war. Globalization rolls on.
Both sides at this war profit by selling you steel, oil, and blood. Amen! Conservatism is not their motive. God is only on their lips. They don’t intend to conserve anything.
Stop buying foreign energy. Stop financing their DYI bomb spree. Stop every payment. Send their ambassadors home. Bring our troops home. Boycott and strike. Make them police up and control their own crazy people!
Domestic only oil will get so expensive George can go home and flood all those ‘dry holes’ he drilled in Texas. He will tell the conservatives to kiss his ass. The whole ex cabinet will have golfing privileges. We will drill Alaska and the coastline to give good jobs to returning GIs!
Gotta fly to pay for three tons of steel and a lifetime of full tanks. Sorry you can’t afford health insurance.
That’s what those brave soldiers are dying for. The people behind these ugly scenes have all the ‘fuck you’ money they need, and they will continue to make more war and more money at your expense. They don’t care.
It’s not that these insider trading war profiteers really want to kill off their profit base. It’s merely that death is the side effect of consuming their products. Death actually makes the products more profitable. The planet gets real hot to raise kids on, too, unless nuclear winter cures global warming.
The only alternative is . . . ready? . . . Stop consuming petroleum. Get back on a bike. Conserve like the illegals already do. Burn vegetable oil. Yeah, right! I bet your un-athletic thighs don’t wanna do that, Martha. You’re stuck! The infrastructure’s already built. Nothing in your life would be the same if we all stopped using energy.
These solutions are too much to ask. It can’t be allowed to happen. You can’t conceive of it! Slave. It won’t happen. Without fuel, there’s really nowhere you can go.
We’ll all be using less energy when there are fewer of us. There are men at work making sure there will be fewer of us. This is how the power of man has always moved. Should we let them continue?
If the energy delivery infrastructure is threatened, we go to war for it. That’s our simple national subconscious self-defense in action. Petroleum is not required to sustain human life, but they’ve got you convinced you need it to live. You just need it to live comfortably. Does dependency on a poisonous product make us the slightest bit uncomfortable?
It’s a profound and serious crime for a man to say, “If I want my stuff, I’ve got to kill a guy to get it.”
This whole country made that decision without a second thought. The bastards had our full support. They had to get our votes, after all. Do you feel as guilty as I do when you turn an ignition key or run the air conditioner? Most of the rest of the world’s people can’t imagine what that means to us.
The only good that can come from this war might be that throwing these con artist insider traders in prison will make Democracy look honest to the world again, but we now have a mad foreign enemy to kill as well. The crazy bastards over there will make us kill them now. I gotta be somewhere else. I gotta drive there.
It’s too late.
Options run out. I warn you that if you wish to consume so much energy in peace and freedom, the only other solutions are: Bottle good clean thermo-fusion, and/or kill every last mother fucking one of them. There will be no choice. Let’s not drag it out.
This long term commitment of tax funded royalties to the military/industrial corporate affiliation is exactly their strategy. The commitment to defend against the insane, explosive, bearded angry men is absolutely required for our survival now, and still all pays very handsomely in high places.
President Bush wasn’t saying ‘Mission Accomplished’ to us about winning the war on that carrier deck. He was telling his cronies in Wall St.he’d successfully started a war to secure their product under military intervention indefinitely, and everyone who played ball would make box cars of bricks of money.
No one can seriously believe even their best spinning denial. They really don’t care about that either. The situation is securely profitable as long as spoiled Americans are afraid of random slaughter, and since we need the stuff badly enough to kill for it, anyway. ‘Don’t speak truth to the real power, or you get your security pass yanked,’ has been unspoken law in Washington for decades, and the Constitution just a piece of paper.
The robber barons and fascists will win, because we bought the ‘with us or against us’ bluff. They’ve only been sneaking up Wall St. upon us since WWII, since we thought we defeated fascism! We’ll really have to finish the thing, and it will take a long, expensive time, so buy stock in it. The daughters of the wealthy will jet from city to city laughing at our poor ignorant asses. It could be worse.
In some places, they tell young people about paradise, then give them explosives and grow hatred and poppies, and that is all they will ever know. Ignorant jihadis play into their enemy’s hands like they’re on the same side.
Tell the smelly Holy martyrs, ‘it will be everywhere, soon, and by your own hand, not God’s.’
‘Now that it’s down to either you or us, it naturally has to be us. Please explode yourselves in greater numbers, and we’ll get right on exploding you, too. We’ll get around to each of you directly. Be impatient.’
