An observation I have made here is that whenever people post political stuff here, particularly those who post Democratic or Pro-Kerry arguments, many here insist upon citations, otherwise categorically dismissing a Democrat's claim as liberal lies and propoganda. Then, they merrily go about there ways posting the most Pro-Bush stuff without any citations, but the stuff is accepted without question. I came across this article this evening, complete with citations, that lists 100 FACTS t...

I have used the term "short-sighted" numerous times in my observations of our illustrious republican and conservative administration. One of the most short-sighted and selfish agendas pushed through by them is their whacking away at the environment in general, using political pundits to edit scientific reports to further their agendas, and selling out our environment to a very self-serving and greedy industrial and corporate constituency. Not only will Americans suffer for these short-sight...

School Vouchers: Fact and Fiction The idea of school vouchers was created as a method of improving the educational process. Parents were upset that they were trapped in an inferior school district, but they did not have the financial ability to send their children to a private school. Vouchers will give parents a predetermined amount of money (between $2,000 and $4,000 is typical) to help them pay for private schools for their children. The following analyzes some fiction and the sur...

Received in my email today............................. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Exodus of Liberals The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among left leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border far...

WORLD HISTORY 101 MID-TERM EXAM This test consists of one (1) multiple-choice question (so you better get it right!) Here's a list of the countries that the U.S. has bombed since the end of World War II, compiled by historian William Blum: China: 1945-46 Korea: 1950-53 China: 1950-53 Guatemala: 1954 Indonesia: 1958 Cuba: 1959-60 Guatemala: 1960 Congo: 1964 Peru: 1965 Laos: 1964-73 Vietnam: 1961-73 Cambodia: 1969-70 Guatemala: 1967-69 Grena...

This is an article from ABC News. If this is what the righties wanted when they voted for bush, this country is in deep shit. Even if you righties don't support this kind of evangelical stuff, you voted for the candidate who will implement it. These are going to be some really tough times for this country for the next four years, particularly for non christians. The separation of the christian church and the united states is blurring............... As the evangelical in this article sai...

This is an interesting website. Link There are six web pages of questions about where you would tend to stand on a presented issue. When you finish the test, an explanation of the compass is given, and you are compared to a few world leaders as to where you might stand. Needless to say, I pointed toward the liberal, and the leader I would likely follow is Gandhi. Give it a try. It may provide some interesting discussions.

Yesterday,s New York Times editorial was about the GOP leadership looking to cut, and possibly eliminate the Pell Grants that enable poor and worthy people to get a higher education Link . Now that the election is over, all holds previously barred are unbarred, including these massive strikes in Iraq, and the raping of our society here. The massive rout in Iraq was necessary, I suppose, given that we allowed the insurgents to run off with all the weapons, and then had to go find them to ...

The following is an exerpt from an article that has interpreted both Patriot Acts I and II. Although it mentions the following two points of being "glaring" areas of concern, I think that there are more sections that are downright scary, like SECTION 103, which allows the Federal government to use wartime martial law powers domestically and internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists. There are two glaring areas that need to be looked at concerning this new legis...

I just posted this to a rather stupid dipshit's blog, who had nothing to say, other than comment on how I was eating my eleven children, born out of wedlock. What a fucking moron. I am reposting this because that moron is blacklisted from my blog, and I wanted this to stand on its own, without his useless and stupid commentary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starving children in third world countries, including USA, and those who are in the final episode of life, due to illness...

We, as a nation, have embarked down the very slippery slope of fascism. It starts rather insidiously as flag-waving patriotism, and before we know it, crosses the line to fascism. The surveilance, manipulation of the press, our country being run by corporate interests, investigations of library cards and book check-outs, censorship of the media, The list goes on...... Unfortunately, this country has its collective head up its collective ass, which is indicative of how good a job the Republica...

Do you guys actually support this criminal, Tom DeLay? Do you really support a leadership that will go to whatever lengths to win? Do you actually align yourself with this scumbag? Do you really believe the means justifies the ends? 1) Delay’s Political Action Committee is under criminal investigation for using corporate monies to finance political campaigns. 2) Delay tried to bribe another congressman to vote for the Medicare Bill. He earned a public admonishment from th...

The Republican leadership has given me yet another reason to HATE those SOB's. What a f*cking waste. The amount of oil gained from drilling this pristene wilderness will not make any difference in the big scheme of things. Oil may start flowing in ten years, maybe, and maybe enough for about 6 months reserves. But, the cost is so high. And we Americans are paying through the nose. And the oil industry will be laughing all the way to the bank. Freakin' pigs. Following is an excerpt f...

This is a repost, because I deleted my previous article. Apparently there is a bug in the featured articles that allows sickos like mod and dr to pollute others posts. Sorry that I also deleted all the replies, but such if life. (Please, draginol, do not feature any of my artilces until that bug is fixed. Thank you in advance.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Much to my surprise, and for reasons I just don't understand, I was able to post to moderateman's blog. I was reponding to his hyp...

Imagine the media explosion if a male escort had been discovered operating as a correspondent in the Clinton White House. Imagine that he was paid by an outfit owned by Arkansas Democrats and had been trained in journalism by James Carville. Imagine that this gentleman had been cultivated and called upon by Mike McCurry or Joe Lockhart—or by President Clinton himself. Imagine that this "journalist" had smeared a Republican Presidential candidate and had previously claimed access to classified...
