Only Impeachment...

...can even begin to set America back on the path of truth and light. We all know it's true.

And even that must be followed by "harder things" -- like consensus about the reality of the 2 Stolen Elections, full prosecution of any and all war criminals and crimes, reversal of every act and appointment of the never-elected, never-legitimate regime possible, making public amends and reparations for non-reversible acts.

Anything less is simply shuffling along in dishonesty and disgrace -- sweeping ever more dirt under the same, now tattered, rug -- refusing to take the first of the "12 Steps" to recovery and possible redemption.

Only Impeachment can be our first step on the path back to honesty.

It is far easier to defend a great nation from those who would attack it than it is to rescue a once-great nation from a pit of its own creation -- especially while it insists on continuing to dig. Yes it is a dark pit -- but it only gets deeper and darker with each passing day.

I see the best of my fellows refusing to even put our core problems on the table -- obsessing over tip sheets for the next horserace in '08 -- elbowing each other for the opportunity to have their laundry list of wishes be the wallpaper that merely covers the cracks in our foundation.

Only Impeachment can reawaken the nation to the reality of the here and now.

Our Euphemedia has given up describing reality for the more lucrative and leisurely profession of covering political celebrities. Gossip passes for narrative, speculation passes for analysis, and complaint/argument passes for reasoned debate. No wonder the chattering class has been dumbed down far below the public -- who at least has the word-of-mouth of the internet to embrace. No wonder they're continually surprised by poll results.

Only Impeachment can return media attention to substantive acts by substantive actors.

America is now literally a War Criminal Nation and one that spies on its own citizens -- citizens who have had their sovereign power set aside by "Stalinist Elections." We are now worse than either Nazi Germany or The Evil Empire because we have combined the worst elements of both. What did our "Greatest Generation" fight and die for then? Or our Founders for that matter?

Only Impeachment can restore the Legacy of Virtue of which we are mere stewards.

As stewards we cannot escape the hard work necessary. There are no half measures, or back doors, or easy access strategies for coming to terms with what must be done. We must be strict with ourselves and our fellows in banishing even a modicum of pretense, inattention, and non-productive endeavor.

Because sadly, those types of failures are the hallmarks of our current national character. They are the proximate causes of our current condition. They have led to a state of affairs where The American People can be held morally liable. They can be reasonably charged with arrogance, with subjugation, with depraved indifference.

Only Impeachment can get the American People off the hook for that which they never gave consent.

This is not a dream, nor is a time for dreamers. We cannot save, feed, or grant peace to the World -- nor is that our duty. We can only put our own house back in order. Then hope to be forgiven and allowed to resume our role as a force for good. Someday.

I don't know if America -- the idea of it -- can survive this condition. I hope it can. And I hope enough of us still have hope.

Only Impeachment can restore that hope in those who have lost it.

But hope is useless without action. And only Impeachment is a word of action. Investigation of is a word of of uncertainty. Strategy is a word of thought. Persuation is a word of manipulation. Only Impeachment Acts.

Only Impeachment.
