I know I've always called Geo Bush a NeoCon fascist dictator, but with all joking aside....He really is! Geo Bush truly believes that he is over Congress. Of course we knew this when he signed the Patriot Act into effect and set up Homeland Security, but I always thought Cheney and the boys were the brains behind that. I didn't actually think that Bush had an opinion, or for that matter, even understood what was going on. But now I wonder, because lately BushyBones is revealing his mindset, the core of how he believes….and Bush believes he can by-pass Congress.
In this video clip Bush is talking about the Iraq spending bill that he vetoed because it included a timeline for our troops to withdraw. “The question is, ‘Who ought to make that decision, the Congress or the commanders?’’ Mr. Bush said. “As you know, my position is clear – I’m the commander guy.”

Apparently after that, the “Commander Guy” granted himself some extra powers!
Is it my imagination, but does Bush have no eyes? LOLOL

LAW OF THE LAND Bush grants presidency extraordinary powers Directive for emergencies apparently gives authority without congressional oversight

President Bush | President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" was signed May 9, notes Jerome R. Corsi in a WND column.
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.
The directive establishes under the office of the president a new national continuity coordinator whose job is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.
"Catastrophic emergency" is loosely defined as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."
Corsi says the president can assume the power to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.
The directive says the assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, currently Frances Fragos Townsend, would be designated as the national continuity coordinator.
Corsi says the directive makes no attempt to reconcile the powers created for the national continuity coordinator with the National Emergency Act, which requires that such proclamation "shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register."
A Congressional Research Service study notes the National Emergency Act sets up Congress as a balance empowered to "modify, rescind, or render dormant" such emergency authority if Congress believes the president has acted inappropriately.
But the new directive appears to supersede the National Emergency Act by creating the new position of national continuity coordinator without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position, Corsi says.
The directive also makes no reference to Congress and its language appears to negate any requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists.
It suggests instead that the powers of the directive can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke affirmed to Corsi the Homeland Security Department would implement the requirements of the order under Townsend's direction.
The White House declined to comment on the directive.

He might be getting everything set up to work in his favor, but I don't think the public is going to allow Bush and his thugs to go to the extreme Bush might be planning. At some point the people are gonna say whoa buddy, enough is enough. The only thing that creeps me out is if Bush, out of desprate mesasures, would make some sort of bizzare alliance against us, like with China. That would freak me out.
I loved this picture you sent me!

The problem is, they are running out of time to do that. They are too much concerned about all the distractions (gas prices, sports, TV,etc.,etc.) that have been staged for them to even begin to understand what is going on and what is at stake here. It is no wonder the Illuminutty consider the masses "cattle". The best hope comes from those in the military and intelligence community who aren't compromised and still love this country and what it used to stand for. Are there enough of them and are they in position(s) to do something positive before it really is too late to save Amerika and perhaps the rest of humanity from eternal slavery and worse? One can only hope so. Time is SHORT for them to act.
