Bush: lying about his authority to conduct warrantless wiretaps...

Looks like the constitutional republic is finally being realized as the empire that it has become over the last hundred or so years. Even establishment press figures, such as the Washingon Post, are delving into this once forbidden area of intrigue. Are we being prepared for something?

The following is a short video which gives a summary of the recent Bush lies regarding his powers. The page also contains a link for a video (7 minutes long) which shows other related questions as well as some congressional reactions.

What we have in this society is an executive with unchecked powers; an individual who implements executive orders, both secret and overt, which defy the very foundation of the American republic.

I wonder how long it took the Romans to realize that they were no longer in a republic. How much longer will the Americans continue to pretend that voting and elected officials really matter? Are we going to do anything about it or will we allow our children to be enslaved?
