Bush declares himself Supreme Ruler of America!

[OregonBi]

Oh my freaking god!!!
Bush signed an executive order giving himself supreme power OVER Congress!
I just could never believe I would see this in my lifetime. If I knew how to use a gun I would have bought one by now. I can't now since Bush and his cronies will use that to jail me. What's next, my partner are forced to wear a yellow star or pink triangle on our clothes?

"President Bush has signed an executive order granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.

The order was signed May 9 without any announcement, says Jerome R. Corsi in a WND column.

Titled, "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," it was issued with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive."

1. Where's the outrage?

How much more of this must we take before somebody does something?

Oh, and welcome to DU.

4. Thank you!

I haven't posted for quite a while - been moving my S.O. from S.F. to Portland. I am just really worried that the next thin we will see is army tanks rolling down main street!

3. Bush does realize that Cheney has shot people, right?

I hope we do realize that W isn't the greatest threat.

5. You make a very good point!

I am afraid what we have thought before, that Cheney is the real evil in the Whitehouse, is now the truth!

I'm going to drink 1/2 a bottle of vodka, eat two Valium, and go to bed. Worst part of all this is my S.O. is out of town on business and I can't reach him for some reason. He is very active in Democratic politics and volunteers in several organizations including Sierra Club, PETA, and People for the American Way. I just have dire thoughts that he has been targeted by the evil hate filled machine in the Whitehouse. I'll probably have a heart attack if the phone rings unexpectedly.

6. So Congress has just been made obsolete.

And we hear...nothing.

Silence.

So dies America.

Pathetic.
