The price of empire is America's soul and that price is too high

Legion

Enveloped in a sentiment,
a sound that rushes over me.



Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.



Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.



Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
of those I yearn to be.



Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.



Anachronistic and impulsive.



And what will happen?
Will I dream?



I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.



None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.



I am too scared to close my eyes.

3. What soul?

We've been cheering for this for decades...I've learned more in the last 7 years about how hollow our rhetoric has been for more than 50 years now than I ever wanted to know.

We're currently living off of dreamstuff- things we BELIEVED about our gov't, not the actuality.

I honor the desire to live the dream, but don't trample on the graves of everyone we've wronged in the past few generations. I'm sure those victims sleep lightly, and would be happy to pull us down with them.

4. Neologism : Iraqicide

Write your own definition.

I'll use it in a sentence: We will iraqicide Iran to quell Cheney's insane lust for power, money and distraction.

7. "Money trumps peace, sometimes."

BUSH: It’s an interesting question. One of the problems, not specifically on this issue, just in general, that -- let’s put it this way: Money trumps peace, sometimes.

10. Thank you shance

I'm just now learning how to use photobucket so maybe I'll improve somewhat

12. These photos have inspired me to repeat a statement that I

made to a post about Dem's going after Cindy because she was embarrassing Pelosi. Cindy is being courages to speak out against the surge that is perpetuating this atrocity. But it seems to be more about protecting the party than the Constitution and liefs of other innocent people unfortunate enough to find themselves in the firing line of a take over.
