While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President George W. Bush commutes the decade-long prison sentences given to Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, former Border Patrol guards, for shooting Osvaldo Aldrete Davila.

       Question: If this was the right thing to do, why did he pardon them on his last day in office?  Why not pardon them back in 2005 when they were originally sentenced?

       Eisenhower II ends: Republican President George W. Bush turns the presidency over to Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto senator Barrack Hussein Obama II (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, Jr.)  of illinois (either a natural born subject of the British enclave of Kenya or the republic of Hawaii).  Bush is giving to Obama a (publicly held portion of the) national debt that has expanded from 5,800,000,000,000 to 11,900,000,00,000 “dollars,” going from 55 to 82% of the Gross National Product, and from 20,000 to 39,000 “dollars” per person.

NOTES:

  • The nation is still paying for the Panics of 1837 and 1857; the War of Federal Aggression; the Great War (World War I); the pre-New Deal; the Reagan Reverie; the Savings and Loan Bailout; the Persian Gulf War; and now the Afghan- & Iraqi-American Wars, the Great Recession; and the Billionaire Bailout; through unlawful Direct (income) taxes placed upon United States subject/enemy/citizens. 
  • As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Obama was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
  • Bush has become the first Republican president since Eisenhower not to eliminate — let alone promise to eliminate — a single Federal program;
  • Domestic spending increased by 27%;
  • Bush brought the number of Federal employees (French for government workers”) to its highest level since the end of the Cold War;
  • Bush signed onto the largest new healthcare entitlement program in four decades that could increase the national debt by another 11,200,000,000,000 “dollars”;
  • Bush significantly enlarged Federal control of local schools, and increased Federal education spending by over 60%;
  • Bush Federalized airport security and created the largest cabinet-level bureaucracy in half a century;
  • Bush added nearly 7,000 pages to the Code of Federal Regulations, imposing 1,100,000,000,000 “dollars” of mandated compliance spending on businesses;
  • Bush administered a 1,500,000,000 “dollar” initiative to promote Federal interference in the religious institution of marriage; and
  • During the first five years of Bush’s tenure, Federal spending increased at an annual rate of nine percent, whereas under his two immediate predecessors spending rose at annualized rates of six and four percent respectively;
  • So much for conservative Republicans!
  • The Democratic and Republican (status quo) parties have now maintained a 112-year duopoly on political power.
