NANCY PELOSI: Our Nation’s Shame

Word leaked out Monday on FOX News that, by all rights, should have Americans incensed at how our Washington politicians are conducting themselves.According to Karl Rove, Pelosi rules her roost like the Gestapo. She dictates how her fellow Democrats in the House will vote, by threatening to keep them from getting what they need in their states, by intimidating them with promises to remove them from their various committee assignments, by bribing them with taxpayer funds, and by any other means available to her. You can almost visualize her in her black, knee-high shiny leather stiletto boots with a whip in one hand and a sword in the other, barking orders and daring anyone to defy her.

Our nation was built on what we have assumed to be a rock-solid foundation of freedom of expression and the right to vote your conscience. To hear that someone in a position of high power, second in line for ascension to the Presidency, is actively controlling votes and stifling freedom of expression is beyond concerning. This is no less a matter of fascism than is rolling out the tanks and sending the storm troopers onto the streets. 

What’s even worse is that no one has the guts to stand up to her. 

Pelosi has already proven herself to the public to be an avid psychopathic liar. This latest revelation is repugnant to any sense of democratic values. The allegation needs to be promptly investigated and, if found to be true, she needs to be removed from her post immediately and from her elected office in November. It is no defense that these things have happened in the Senate as well, and in both Houses over a period of time. It is not the proper or fit way to conduct the business of our nation. 

There’s Charles Rangel, in a sea of ethics violations and past tax abuses and Nancy Pelosi is trying to rescue him. Once again, we hear that if Charlie should be removed, practically everyone in Congress should be removed, all of which goes to show that Pelosi’s House of Representatives is corrupt. 

It is indeed our fault that we have allowed these things to happen, and we will certainly be to blame unless we put a stop to it now. 

Nancy Pelosi needs to be investigated, charged and removed.
