I mean it's our patriotic duty. Consider these:
When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will ... become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." - Thomas Jefferson
"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect."
- Adlai Stevenson
"We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls."
- Robert J. McCracken
"When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring

When we get rid of the Bush administration, we need to clean house of the government. Its ridiculous how much the federal government helps big corporations. The Securities and Exchange Commission messed up the stock markets, which were created for startup businesses in the first place, by requiring paperwork that costs over a million dollars to do. The regulations serve as barriers to entry, keeping people from getting into a market. We should get rid of the military, so that we can shut down the Halliburtons that run us into unnecessary wars (the National Guard and Border Patrol could defend our country adequately if they weren't being shipped to Iraq). We need to put guns into the hands of airplane pilots so that they can shoot people trying to hijack planes (the 9/11 terrorists had knives, so armed pilots would have saved the lives of everybody who died that day except the terrorists). We need to get rid of the gas taxes and refinery regulations that make gas cost so much.
Why just stop at repealing everything awful that Bush has done (and there's a lot of it)? Why not repeal all the bad policies of the last century?
The original intent of the Constitution worked pretty well when it was in force. Why not revert the Federal Government back to that small size? We could pay for the entire thing with a tax rate below 5%. We need a Supreme Court that is willing to support the original intent and strike down unconstitutional things such as the Federal Reserve, Patriot Act, Torture Legalization, Wars without a Declaration of War, and the rest of the mess.
I think our best choice in the 2008 election would be Ron Paul, because he sincerely wants to clean up the mess (look at his record, he's a 10-term Congressman off-and-on since the 70s who has never flip-flopped on anything; he's always been for the original intent).

It should have been done years ago, but we had a rubber stamp Congress that allowed him to run amok. They were as much of the problem as he was. Now we see he has less than 2 years and by the time there was a trial, considering there are still many Republicans in the Senate that support him, it would not really accomplish anything. Besides the more scandals due to corruption and incompetence we see the better it is for the Democrats to throw at the Republicans in next year's election. It looks like we may see a Democratic landslide like1964 when Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater by a landslide and ushered more Democrats into seats in both chambers of Congress.

all your factors are maximum appropriate. the present administration replaced into adamant approximately invading Iraq because of the fact the 1st Gulf conflict. an identical proponents of ousting Saddam have been disgruntled while Bush 40-one stopped at its borders. 9/eleven gave those fowl hawks bogus motives for the Iraq conflict, and that they often reported the conflict could be fast and espresso-priced. definite, Saddam replaced into an evil thug and ruthless dictator, yet as you reported, there are a lot of international locations international huge whose leaders could in advantageous condition that description. Oil, oil, oil and the build-up of the militia business complicated have been the underlying reasons of Bush's conflict.

Considering that corporations, with the Bush Crime Family as a front, have taken over America, stealing 2 elections, plundering the national treasury, making war for profit our official foreign policy......
I believe patriots have long neglected our duty to overthrow this Corporate Reich....and reestablish a democracy...of, by and for the people.
When that movement starts.......I'm in
(not Move-On, or some other sell-out movement...but a real movement to take back our country)

Gee, I hope what you libs say about the Patriot Act is true and they're monitoring this right now. You should expect a knock on the door soon.
Our patriotic duty is to support the President the WE elected.

You are a fool if you think you are going to overthrow a government that took over 250 years to create.
