It's time for a revolution

That's it. I can't stand it anymore. The crassness and cravenness of our elected officials is staggering. The Republican's defense of William Jefferson is appalling. The basis of this country is that every man is equal before the law, not some more equal (to steal from Orwell). This bloated, entitlement ridden, fat-cat, free-loading, holy-than-thou, opportunistic, fraudulent, thieving, cynical, complacent, privilege seeking, law shirking, lying class of politicos that have infested Washington DC need to all go (with the exception of very few). How dare they claim that they cannot be investigated by the FBI. Apparently, one could rape a nun while smoking a blunt and shooting a baby if one were a member of the government. It's sickening and it has to end.
I know about the separation of powers, but that does not imply diplomatic immunity or that the branches of government have no oversite over the other. The clause was put in there to avoid the capricious arrest of a rival governmental body, not to provide our representatives with privileges that no citizen can claim. We are on the steps to an oligarchy, and, if ancient Rome is to prove an example, tyranny or revolt are the only consequences.
I am not advocating violence, but rather a revolution of the mind and of our system. That is, that we go back to limited government so that capricious, grasping moral midgets such as those on the capital cannot wield power enough to enrich themselves and burden the average man. We need ethical people in power and checks upon the power of the government. Without those, the Visigoths will surely be at the gates soon enough.
