Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has embarked on an ambitious agenda for "Cleaning the U.S. House" once she assumes control.
There is, of course, the unfinished business of the November 7 elections to consider, but Congresswoman Pelosi regards the election itself to be a minor detail, unworthy of undue distraction.
To Americans still on the fence about the election, please think about the likely agenda that Pelosi would pursue:
* Impeachment of George W. Bush:
Pelosi and her supporters have all but guaranteed to impeach the president if elected. Pelosi is likely to make "swearing at George W. Bush" her first item of business after the obligatory "swearing in" of the new congress.
* Withdrawal of Troops From Iraq:
Once President Bush has been dealt with, Pelosi will move for the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq. Pelosi will ask that the 130,000 troops in Iraq be placed on "stand by" for assignment to Haiti or other location where there is absolutely no legitimate American interest at stake.
Congresswoman Pelosi will also ask that American military force be available to seize any Wal-Mart store that refuses to cover 100% of employee health care costs, or to pay a minimum wage of $25 an hour.
* Apology for "Ugly American" Behavior:
Democrats would like nothing better than to issue a blanket apology to the world for America's wrongheaded policies while Republicans controlled the White House and or either chamber of congress. Such a declaration would specifically apologize to all Muslims, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il, leaders of the former USSR, and assorted other nice guys for the boorish, America first, behavior of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and both U.S. presidents answering to the moniker George Bush.
* Forgiveness of Terrorists:
If Speaker Pelosi were to have her way, the United States would issue a formal statement of forgiveness to Osama bin Laden and the original 19 hijackers of 9/11 notoriety. The Pelosi statement would declare that, all things considered, America probably deserved 9/11.
The statement would include a thank-you message to bin Laden for delaying the World Trade Center attack until Bill Clinton was safely out of office, thereby allowing Democrats to blame George W. Bush for 9/11.
Pelosi would also make it a federal "hate crime" to draw derisive cartoons, speak in a disparaging manner, or otherwise offend Islam, the prophet, Allah, the Koran, or Osama bin Laden.
* Free Pilot Training:
In the name of acceptance and to demonstrate that real Americans do not hold grudges, Ms. Pelosi would propose to provide free training and licenses to young Middle-Eastern men from terrorist-sponsoring nations who speak Arabic and who have always dreamed of flying jumbo jets. This program would not cover plane landings.
