Excessive Exercise of Exeutive Power

Here's Toby's Political Diary, 'Let it Begin Here', with a layman's view of what we might be reading in the national news in the not too distant future, based upon the Bush Administration's "unbridled" exercise of what it perceives to be its rightful executive power. We won't spoil it, as it's quite creative (and, to us, conceivable) but we will quote Toby's conclusion:
It is probably a cliché, but rights and freedoms atrophy and die unless they are strongly defended and supported. Look what is happening to affirmative action, which came into being through the civil rights movement to remedy vicious legalized discrimination, but is now dying. We have leaders who represent a throwback to a militaristic, southern aristocracy, with contempt for democratic and egalitarian values. If we don't want to live on the plantation, we had better call in the Union cavalry.
