Amendment I

Congress shall separate Church and State, and ensure that no public agency ever acknowledge the existence of religion. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, except for such speech as is spoken by white males regarding women or minorities. Religion shall be defined as subjective belief systems with no basis in fact that involve rituals in a church or equivalent sacred area.

A National Guard and public Law Enforcement Agencies, to be established at a yet-to-be-determined time within the next two centuries, being necessary to the security of a police state, the right of certain government employees to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
_____

Amendment III

No woman shall, in time of pregnancy, be barred from killing her child at will, regardless of medical necessity, at any point between conception and delivery. Should a woman kill her children after delivery, while it may be considered a criminal act, it shall be seen as an unfortunate consequence of mental anguish caused by dwelling in a male-dominated society, rather than a heinous crime. Fathers are considered to have no connection to the child, and to be irrelevant to its care, outside of monetary support.
_____

Amendment IV

The right of the people to pretend to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unwarranted and imagined fears, shall be absolute.

Amendment V

Economic concerns shall be subjugated to environmental concerns, the validity of which shall be determined by emotional and spiritual divinations, rather than scientific endeavor.

The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights is flexible, and shall be denied to the people at governmental whim as “times change” and basic human rights become “outdated”.
_____

The powers not explicitly delegated to the Federal Government by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are assumed to be delegated to the Federal Government anyway.
_____

Amendment XI

In order to avoid the appearance of “arrogance”, and as the concept of the people deciding their own fate reeks of provincial tribalism, the national interests of the country shall not be decided by its elected representatives, but rather by an organization of unelected representatives of foreign nations.
_____

Amendment XII

The concept of patriotism or otherwise acting in the interest of the nation shall be considered abhorrent and primitive, although this shall not construed as a lack of patriotism on the part of this constitution’s adherents.

Citizens have the right to pay large portions of their income to provide for the medical care of complete strangers, medical professionals shall undergo years of difficult and intense training in order to have the right to have their work offered to anyone at a price determined by the State, and patients shall have the right to have substandard healthcare rationed out to them at the State’s whim.
_____

Amendment XIV

Racial discrimination shall form the basis of all educational and hiring requirements, as long as races discriminated against are “white” and “asian”. As this amendment implies that non-asian minorities are incapable of competing with whites and asians in intellectual arenas, and is therefore racist, this amendment is now pending prosecution for hate speech crimes.
_____

Amendment XV

“Human Rights” shall be defined as only those benefits provided by the State, such as may be funded by taxation. The term “rights” shall not be construed to provide actual rights, such as might exist independent of government control.

"The Buck Stops Here”

Though Bush was not at the prison, and though Rumsfeld wasn’t either, they are the people at the top of the chain of command, and are the ones that have to take the final responsibility. 

Are they guilty?  No...if my daughter, as a teenager, commits a crime, and is prosecuted criminally, she would be the one that would do the time, not I.  However, you don’t think that I wouldn’t want to say something to the affected party?  If my daughter stole from someone, and went to jail, I would make an effort to apologize to the people that she harmed. 

Why?  Because she is part of my family, and even though she may have known what she was doing was wrong, she made my family look bad.  Therefore, I have a reason to make an effort to make amends.  It’s my family.  I am the patriarch, and she is my daughter.  What she does reflects on me, because she is one of mine. 

Because I think this way, I expect that others will do the same.  Do they?  No...they don’t.  But I have a higher standard, and I know that my family is good, and wholesome, and that my daughters behavior was not indicative of the family as a whole.  Therefore, no matter what others do, I need to stand on MY principles, not theirs. 

Now, in this case, I realize, fully, that the Leftists in Congress are asstards that wouldn’t press a Democrat to apologize.  However, I don’t think that Bush apologized because of the idiots in the Senate.  He has shown, over and over, that he has standards that are much higher than those of JFK and his sycophantic lapdogs in the government and the press.  Personally, he is bothered by the actions of these fools at the prison, and he has voiced as much. 

Again, another parallel, I would not try to keep my child from paying her debt, to society and to the people she had harmed, and Bush is going to make sure that these retard prison guards get punished.  He isn’t going to protect them, like the Democrats protected their favorite Presidential lawbreaker, because he is a just man.  In my opinion, he is much more apt to do what he thinks is right than what is politically expedient.  It’s not that he doesn’t care about winning the election, but I think he cares more about doing what he believes to be right.  And, seeing what the man has done over the last 3 years, this is exactly what I thought he would do. 

Now, Rumsfeld is also taking responsibility, and he should, even more so than the President.  Rumsfeld knew about this, and didn’t tell Bush about it, and that is pretty bad for him.  He needs to do everything that he can to make sure that these guards are fully punished as far as the law allows.  However, he will stay on, because he is doing things that need to be done in the military (streamlining, raising the technological bar) that weren’t done during the last Adnimistration.  He is better than this, and he is showing both his determination to do his job, and his dedication to the President and his mission, by taking the hit for this. 

One last thing.....replacing the SoD at this time would be very counter-productive.  It would create a power vacuum at the Pentagon that we really don’t need.  Rumsfeld has performed superbly to this point, in my honest opinion, and needs to be kept on. 

Another point...Iraqis are taking this a lot better than we would believe.  The pro-islamofascist networks there (al-Jazeera) are trying to blow this up, but the Iraqis aren’t as upset as Iranians, Syrians, and al Sadr-ites are.  Iraqis want these insurgents PUNISHED and EXECUTED.  What the US guards did was humiliating, and the Iraqis don’t necessarily mind it.  Also, remember that they are used to torturers being promoted, not prosecuted.  That also makes them feel better about it. 

We have to prosecute, and assure that this isn’t what America is all about.  Part of that is a recognition that what happened was wrong.  Saying “I am sorry for what they did..” isn’t a mark of weakness, but a show of moral strength, and is proof that our President is the right man, at the right time, for our Nation. 

No Nazi would do this, nor would a terrorist, fascist, or communist.  However, we would.  It is proof of our greatness.
