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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Tonight at 8:00 pm ET on PAX TV they are airing this award-winning 1989 Oliver Stone film. If you have not previously seen it, it's a great movie. If you do not get cable TV, then I recommend that you rent it. There have been many parallels drawn between Viet Nam and Iraq, that I think this is a very relevant movie today. Interesting that it's PAX that is airing it. Tom Cruise, in what I consider to be his masterpiece performance, plays Ron Kovic, a disabled Viet Nam veteran who become...

A Reputation in Tatters George W. Bush and his gang of neocon warmongers have destroyed America’s reputation. It is likely to stay destroyed, because at this point the only way to restore America’s reputation would be to impeach and convict President Bush for intentionally deceiving Congress and the American people in order to start a war of aggression against a country that posed no threat to the United States. America can redeem itself only by holding Bush accountable. As intent as...

I did not write this article. I will not say who did yet, because I want people to read it with an open mind. The content, after all, is what is so important here. It's about health care in this country, or lack thereof. It's about how this nation can get royally screwed when Congress allows corporate interests to write legislation. Please read on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was a brief flurry of outrage when Congress passed the 2003 Medicare bill. The news media repo...

The bolded emphases are mine. Did Bush really cook the books? What's missing here, of course, is why was Bush so hell-bent on invading Iraq if the legal requirements for such invasion were as thin as this memo stated? Why did Britain go along with this folly? So many questions, and no anwers.......................... I don't believe we will get any until Bush and Co. are no longer in power. Why do I say that? Because they don't want us to have the answers because they are less than fla...

I'm not going to mention the blog site, because I don't want most of you righties going there to pollute it. So, I'm just reiterating the sentiment here for all our edifications: F*ck You George Bush.......... ....for preaching the Culture of Life while you kill innocent children. ....for bringing George Orwell's 1984 to life. ....for taking vacations when the system was blinking red...ie...52 warnings. ....single handedly halting tolerance in our society. ....for revelin...

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...
