Our Founding Fathers would surely be confounded today by the way the democratic system upon which they founded this country is running out of steam.

"Look, pal, we've always known-the Framers knew-that liberty is a fragile thing." Just how fragile? Think about all the sophisticated forms of governments and empires whose histories have proven America's to be infantile in comparison. When our liberties are limited to protect liberty itself, and self-destructing paradox begins.

There is no remedy short of impeachment to protect us from this President, whose ability to cause damage in the next two years is enormous. If we do not act, we send a terrible message of impunity to future Presidents and mark a clear path to despotism and tyranny. Succeeding generations will suffer for our failure to protect our democracy.

Stop him before he kills again. That is the judgment of the American people, and indeed of the entire world, as to the performance of our president. No State of the Union address can erase that dismal verdict. President Bush has accomplished what Osama bin Laden only dreamed of by disgracing the model of American democracy in the eyes of the world.

In a word? Nothing! There is almost a religious fervor in some people when they talk about the democratic process. I don't get it. Those who vote in the minority are stuck with what those in the majority choose. In other words, democracy is that system of political governance in which the ayes have it and the nays get it.
