The Maintenance of Freedom

by Ronnie LoBello
The impeachment or censuring of George Bush will make a very little difference on the way the way the US bullies third world countries throughout the world. There are many other Neocon wing nuts in our government driven by corporate greed and religious fanaticism. How ever it is a start. Like a forest, cutting one tree does not get rid of the forest but to get rid of the forest you must start with a tree. Not that I advocate getting rid of forest but you know what I mean. There are a lot of trees in the proverbial forest of Neocons and right wing religious mad men creating a dysfunctional world to fit their illusions. We must be vigilant and proactive or these people I talk about will slowly take the freedom we all enjoy away. To get America on course to the ideals of freedom and liberty the "American dream" will take work, America has never realized the full potential of these ideas but we have tasted it. The freedoms we take for granted such as free speech right to religion of choice did not come without a struggle. To get to the freedoms we do have came from clear thinking citizens who wanted a better world. They saw that the reasons for poverty and oppression where politically driven. And the people in power werenÂ’t about to give in to the peopleÂ’s demands without a fight. So the struggle still continues today. ItÂ’s a continuous maintenance program and improvement is always needed Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that.
