On Executive Orders

A belated Happy Memorial Day to the dead both here and abroad fighting for our country's freedoms, and the living while praying they all come home alive and safe.

Also, I'd like to apologize for not posting for five days.

I was online yesterday, when I read about an interesting Executive Order on Countdown w/Keith Olbermann's blog. Known with the exceedingly long title of, National Security Presidential Directive 51, it is, what I like to call the "Buzz Windrip" theory.

If anyone has read Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, you understand what I mean. If not, here's the gist on this unlawful and unconstitutional Executive Decision:

• This President can, in the instance of "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions,"
• Make himself the leader of all three branches of government,
• while making the judicial and legislative branches advisory positions.
• Finally, the President has the jurisdiction as to what is considered an incident in those bounds, be it a bad day on Wall St., at OPEC, and even an election in which a Democrat will win(like, say, the '08 presidential election).

In summary, the President is destroying the concept of the Constitution, which was written to prevent a king to be crowned after declaring and winning its independence; the Magna Carta, which lessened the powers of an incompetent leader; the Warsaw Pact, which formed NATO, which tried to ally themselves against the Soviet Union empire, and even more documents. Apparently, Mr. Bush has taken all too seriously his sardonic nickname, "King George the W."

Of course, when you try to look for it on the link provided, you get a 404 error on the White House website; probably because the White House purposely corrupted it. In other words, they don't want anyone to know about this.

Mr. Bush is trying to pull the wool over our eyes, playing pretend that he is Mussolini, creating his own little fascist government in a country known as the "land of the free." Mr. Bush is trying to use the mathematical proposition of the Reflexive Postulate, that the President=the President=the President when it comes to balance of power. And he is mistaken in its use; it is used in math, not in politics. He is not the decider, he is not a king. But he will succeed, because he is already doing what he wants in the executive order-by being able to create this executive order.
