"I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers." --House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay responded:
"Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric. She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk." (Source: CNN)
That's right, folks, it's now official: criticize our president and you are endangering American lives.
But a better president than G.W. Bush said this:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." --Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
Everyone who is so inclined, write down that Roosevelt quote on a postcard (or order a packet from eleri's Cafe Press store) and send it to the House Majority Leader at either of the following addresses:
The Hon. Tom DeLay
242 Cannon HOB
Washington, DC 20515
The Hon. Tom DeLay
Office of the House Majority Leader
H-107 The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515
And send an "attagirl" to Rep. Pelosi at:
Rayburn House Office Building
Room # 2371
Washington, D.C. 20515
Then post this info in your journal and see if we can generate a big, fat reminder that dissent and criticism are not treason.
