Another great quote....

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. " ~ Thomas Jefferson

 

Found this picture of Karl "Turdblossom" Rove today on Google...


Is it really him or is this just another pasty white neocon Bush supporter with feminine fingers that happens to look like him? I don't know but either one is so gross to me!!!!!!!!! Note the sign behind him, it reads, "No Turn On Red"! Let's hope the nation does!!!!

Quote of the day....

“America wasn’t founded as a theocracy,” he said. “America was founded by people trying to escape theocracies. Never in history have we had a Christian theocracy where it wasn’t bloody and barbaric. That’s why our Constitution wisely put in a separation of church and state." ~ Evangelical Reverend Gregory A. Boyd remark on why he wouldn't give his church parishoners his blessing to push politics by backing George Bush's agenda and by backing the republican party's stance on the social issues in our country.

 

Saddam Hussein has written a letter to the American people....

...and it's a doozy. I'm not sure if he wrote the whole letter himself because there are times when he refers to himself in the 3rd person, but it could be the way he talks. I'm really not sure. Most of what he says is pretty much what most Americans have been saying about Bush's illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq for years now: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and the occupation of that country never should have happened, but it did because 9/11 was used as a reason to get in there by the PNAC crowd in the White House! The Iraq invasion is just a cover for the Bush Cabal's Evil Agenda to take over the Middle East to capture the oil and to then hoard the oil to put the planet in peril.
I'll probably be deemed an 'enemy combatant' by the neocons for posting this letter and I really don't care. Just as Saddam Hussein pointed out in his letter, if Iraq is supposed to be a democracy now, then why the hell can't his words be heard around the world in defense of himself and his nation? Isn't that what a democracy is all about?
Saddam Hussein is not an innocent person and does have an atrocious history, however, I agree with him that he posed no threat to the American people like the Bush Cartel wanted us to believe a few years ago and I also agree with him that we Americans were lied to and deceived by our own government to back an illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation!
So, I'll take the chance that I'll be called a traitor to America for posting this letter. There are always two sides of every story and this is one story that both sides need to be heard!

 

Who will the Fascists detain when Martial Law sets in?

Right after 9/11, the Patriot Act was voted on and became law. I always thought it was interesting that this 300+ page document could be hashed out so quickly by a nation who was still horrified by the images of 9/11/01. Well, since that time I've come to believe that the Patriot Act was created during the 1990's by the PNACers, many of which are in our current government! So, with that in mind, I've been stating for years now online that this Act gives way too much power to our government. It allows government officials to label ANYONE an 'enemy combatant' and it is a dangerous slippery slope if you ask me. Why? Because this is an Administration who has redefined the Constitution and the laws of this country in the most inappropriate way! Even the word 'torture' didn't get a definition from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (he basically said that as long as the torture technique doesn't cause organ failure anything goes!).
Who will be an 'enemy combatant' to the Bush Cartel? Will it be anyone who speaks out against Bush which gives the impression that the speaker is on the side of the terrorists for doing so? Will it be the guy whose neighbor called the FBI out of retaliation for him whistling at his wife or for not paying back the money that is owed to him? Will it be the couple who is on the phone while the government is listening in who say to one another, "Can you pick up the yellow cake at the bakery for the wedding this Saturday?", and the government thinks the couple is planning an attack because of the words 'yellow cake' and 'wedding' (two of the hijackers before 9/11 were heard by Michael Hayden of the CIA saying that the 'big wedding is tomorrow') were used? Huh?
We can't trust the government to identify Americans as 'enemy combatants' because they've proven to us over and over that they can't be trusted to do even the simplest things, such as respecting the laws in our country. With over 750 signing statements issued by Bush to ignore the laws of our country, how can we trust these assholes to carefully determine who is a TRUE enemy combatant and who is not? I can't. When Martial Law sets in before the 2008 election to continue Bush's Evil Agenda to destroy America (the repukes in the Congress have tried for years to make it legal for him and all future presidents to have a 3rd term and this is how they'll do it!), Bush will use this years new "Terror Detainee Bill" to achieve it. This Bill is very similiar to what the Patriot Act provides: the government can come into your home to do a sneak and peek, they can then kidnap you from your home and bring you to a secret location where they can torture you, where you will have absolutely no legal action against this and where you will be unable to contact your attorney to protect yourself! The government after they've labeled you an 'enemy combatant' can also then hold you indefinately for years and years and years. Your family in some cases will have no idea where you've disappeared to either.
Does this sound like the America we grew up with? Or is this truly our country changing before our eyes for the worse?

 

All they want is a ceasefire Condi!

What the hell is wrong with Condi Rice and the Brownshirts back home? All the Lebanese people want is a REAL ceasefire, but no, Condi Rice is over there in Israel talking with the very aggressors of the current situation in the Middle East and is not telling the Israelis to stop their madness. As she is talking with them, Bush is telling the UN to help stopp the fighting and violence on the Lebanese/Israel border while sending large amounts of high-tech precision guided missiles filled with white phosophorus to be used by Israel against the Lebanese and Hezbollah! Jesus, no wonder the Lebanese government told Condi to not come to their country today because they're feeling like the US is playing games with the lives of the people in their country.
This morning, over 50 people were killed in Lebanon....37 of them were children. Killing children is not making peace in this situation and will at some point band the Lebanese behind Hezbollah! As usual, Bush and Israel are causing MORE TERRORISTS TO GROW IN NUMBERS. It's not surprising. This is how terrorism flourishes and ever since Bush illegally invaded Iraq, terrorism has increased significantly in the Middle East and beyond! Now that Bush is backing Israel without hesitation, peace will never ever be achieved!
I, for one, am on the side of peace and I don't care who the country is or who is the aggressor: KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS NOT THE ANSWER IF PEACE IS THE QUESTION. When will Bush, Blair, and Israel understand that concept? Maybe this is their whole plan anyways. The PNACers of the 1990's sure want this kind of chaos in the Middle East to achieve their plan of domination of the region to capture the oil and then use the area to them dominate the planet by putting the planet at the mercy of their new found oil! Because other than that, I can't figure out the life of me why these three assholes do what they do! If it's not greed and a secret plan, then what the hell is it? I don't know the answer.

 

Vile republicans working on behalf of 18 wealthy families against the poor

It's not surprising that the vile republicans are working hard to put more money in the pockets of the uberwealthy in this country. Hell, it's their base and why wouldn't they? They hate the fact that the poor is making $5.15/hr. and don't like the idea of raising it to $7.25/hr over the next two years because that could further hurt the very deep pockets of their corporate whores! Of course, they're forgetting that these large companies are already sending a good portion of their work overseas to avoid paying American taxes, oh, but that won't stop the vile republicans to continue catering to them! Even after death, the republicans in the Congress feel that the uberwealthy should keep their money and not have to pay taxes on it. Meanwhile, the poor of our country is trying to get by on $5.15/hr to pay their bills. Gas prices are at $3.00/gallon, so therefore, should the poor need to fill their 10-gallon gas tank, they have to work six hours to do it! So, the vile republicans have added the Estate Tax repeal to a bill that would also increase minimum wage for the poor. In the eyes of the republicans, this is a fair trade off. Pretty sneaky if you ask me, but then again, when did these 'good Christians' ever do anything to help the poor in this country anyways? They could care less about them! They say that our country spends too much money on the poor and the needy, but yet, they forget to point out that 51% of our budget goes to defense every year and the social programs of our country are lucky to receive even 13% of it and they are also forgetting that many of our soldiers and their families are living on these wages too! Shameful. Outrageous.
If the Senate democrats don't filibuster the Estate Tax repeal being included in this bill, then I am going to scream!!!!!!!!!!! Fifty democrats did vote in favor of this bill, but let's hope they did that so they could filibuster the Estate Tax part of it to show Americans what it is that makes the hearts of republicans bleed with greed. We're counting again on the democrats to stop the madness.

 

Just me and my piano...


Here is Condoleeza Rice tackling the death and destruction in the Middle East. Playing her piano has been crutial in ignoring what is happening over there. Yup, it's her foreign policy! While Lebanese children are being blown to smitherreens, Condi sits at her piano and talks with the Israelis. She tells them that everything will be fine because they're killing Lebanese babies. As she performs tearfully through Bach, she suddenly grins because her cell phone is ringing and she sees that it is the Lebanese government. They tell her not to come to their country to talk because her meer presence in their country would cause more death and destruction. They don't trust her. Throwing her head back in glee and knowing that she can play her piano some more, she whips through a Michael Bolten tune and exclaims to the Israeli government who have now gathered around her piano like flies on shit, "Launch more bombs at Lebanon because we want a ceasefire, we want peace and please do tell where the best place to buy expensive shoes is at!".
Aren't we lucky that we have a Secretary of State who plays piano while ignoring the reality of the situation in the Middle East. Hell, she's just like her Georgie, now isn't she?

 

Al-Qaida operative paid money and given US legal status

When I was first reading this article, I figured it was an FBI guy posing as an al-Qaida informant to catch people in our country who were planning to do harm. I was thrilled, because this is exactly the type of 'terrorist catching' that John Kerry pointed out when he was running for president that catching terrorists in our country would be a better way to do it instead of bombing the crap out of a country to kill and find the terrorists. Kerry felt that our government should be setting up stings like we do for drug dealers: hang the carrot and see who comes. But I'm not sure this is what the FBI was doing this time. Yes, they held the 'carrot' out, but the man who was being used as an al-Qaida informant was not an American citizen. It appears he was from Yemen (think USS Cole and Osama's birthplace before the family moved to Saudi Arabia) He and another guy were paid by our government $56,000 for their services and were also given US legal status as well! That doesn't seem right to me! You mean to tell me that our government is allowing those who are associated with terrorism and connected to known terrorist groups are being used as informants in exchange for American citizenship? Is that productive? No!!! These men right now may seem innocent enough because they're helping us out, but that doesn't mean six months down the road they won't change!
I'm cringing at the thought.

 

"Midwife from Hell"

Condoleezza Rice: "Midwife From Hell"
By Matthew Rothschild
The Progressive
Friday 28 July 2006

After being one of the most inept national security advisers in the nation's history, Condoleezza Rice is now earning the same grade as secretary of state.

Her description of the conflagration in Lebanon as the "birthpangs of a new Middle East" was about as callous as it gets, matched only by Bush's remark that the conflict represents "a moment of opportunity." The 400 Lebanese who have died, an overwhelming number of them civilian and many of them children, were not feeling any birthpangs. They were feeling deathpangs.

Nor were families of the Israeli victims (about 50 so far, and most of them soldiers) cheering the new day, either.

Rice's cruel opposition to an immediate cease-fire has left the whole world outside of Israel (and Tony Blair's kennel) aghast.

And U.N. Ambassador John Bolton's sneering about a cease-fire not being "the alpha and omega" only reinforced the arrogance.

More than half a million people in Lebanon have been turned into refugees in just a matter of weeks.

Israelis are bunkered in bomb shelters.

And all Rice can do is issue hollow words of concern and then sabotage any immediate cease-fire?

The expediting of U.S. bombs to Israel at the same time sent an all too obvious message. Did they fly in carriage on the same plane that took Rice to the region? Is she bringing another load with her this time?

As Rice did in the lead up to the Iraq War, so she is doing now: She's drinking her own propaganda.

The Iraq War was going to redraw the map of the Middle East.

Now the Lebanon War is going to do the trick?

The Iraqi people were going to welcome the Americans with open arms.

Now the Lebanese people are going to rise up and somehow defeat Hezbollah when Israel can't even do the job?

Politically naïve, Rice also appears woefully jejune about human nature.

When people are being attacked by a foreign power, they rarely rally to that foreign power's side.

And when a group in their midst fights back against the invaders, that group doesn't lose support, it gains support.

The United States and Israel have succeeded only in making heroes of Hezbollah thugs.

Rice's green light for Olmert's spilling of red blood has managed only to further enrage the Arab and Muslim world and isolate the United States among its allies (except, of course, for Tony Blair, who is still wagging his tail and licking Bush's face).

It is not in the interests of the United States, and it is not in Israel's interests either, to show the international community utter disdain. And the war crimes of Israel, and Rice's blessing of them, will long be remembered.

Where was Condoleezza Rice when Israel bombed the only power plant in Gaza, bringing about a humanitarian crisis?

Where was Condoleezza Rice, when Israel inflicted collective punishment on the sovereign people of Lebanon?

Where was Condoleezza Rice, when Israel was killing more than 100 Lebanese children?

Condoleezza Rice was in Israel's corner.

For five and a half years, Rice did nothing about the most serious problem in the Middle East, and now she's done worse than nothing.

Rice believes in is the diplomacy of the F-16.

And that style of diplomacy is crashing and burning.

Howard Dean lambastes Katherine Harris!

I love it! Katherine Harris was secretary of state in Florida during the 2000 presidential election and her actions were unethical and fraudulent behavior was instrumental in manipulating the race in Bush's favor. Many cannot forget what she did. She's currently running for the US Senate seat for Florida and she is lagging in the polls because no one wants her around or trusts her! So, it warms my heart that Howard Dean, who is Chairman of the DNC, compared Harris to Stalin. He wasn't insinuating that she murdered thousands of people (though she did murder thousands of votes, however). He was saying is she carried herself in a way that was more like a dictator (controlling the votes) rather than a person who understands the way elections are supposed to work! Harris is demanding an apology. Let's hope she DOESN'T get one. She doesn't deserve it and should have taken herself out of the race a long time ago, because even something like this isn't going to make her popular or create sympathy for her. She's finished and I couldn't be happier!

 

Having sex in public is a republican moral

Well, what do you know! The right wingers of this nation go on and on and on about how gays are immoral because of the sex they have (which is no different than what the heterosexuals do except the two people involved are of the same sex!), but yet, Senator Norm Coleman's dad, who is 81 years old was caught having sex in public with a 38 year old woman! What do you want to bet the woman was a prostitute? I bet she was. The republican party is full of slimeballs and Norm's father is one more to add to the long list of them!

Yup, this is pretty much what we're seeing right now....


 

Ann Coulter to start writing columns using smoke signals

At this point, I'm afraid the number of newspapers across the country KEEPING Ann Coulter's column in it would be easier to count and keep up with! No one wants her to write down her hateful banter. Isn't that fantastic? I think so!
I find it so intriguing, however, that these right wing newspapers are running from her. With all the spewing the right wingers have done for years against the liberals and others that don't agree with them, you'd think that ole Ann would be their queen, but it's not happening. Awwwww...she embarrasses them. Saying that the 9/11 widows are enjoying the deaths of their husbands sent these right wingers and the nation right over the top. It's shocking that it has, because the crap that has been spewed by all right wing papers and online forums in the past 6 years has been disgusting. I, myself, have been on the butt end of their death threats, their immature banter, and their name calling. They're a pathetic bunch, so it is ironic that they are cancelling her column.
Of course, one paper has gone from 'absolutely horrifying Ann' to head scratching:
"We will be replacing her with William F. Buckley, one of the foremost voices for the conservative and libertarian movements and a very smart man who has worked as a CIA spook, run for mayor of New York City, reportedly been a member
of Skull and Bones while at Yale, founded a magazine (National Review) and a TV show ("Firing Line") and authored the quote, 'One must bear in mind that the expansion of federal activity is a form of eating for politicians."
Is this paper aware that William F. Buckley recently stated, "There will be no legacy for Mr. Bush....his legacy is indecipherable."He also went on to say that the war in Iraq is a failure. Oh boy. I see the Father of Conservatism being fired next.



 

Israel ignored the UN's pleas to not bomb near their facility

Well, of course Israel ignored them because who is backing Israel right now during their temper tantrum and is sending precision guided missiles loaded with white phosophorus and is yelling, "Go Israel go!"? The Bush Cartel! When has Bush ever (ever!) listened to anyone besides his minions standing directly next to him during the last 6 years? He hasn't listened to anyone who doesn't believe what he believes. So, it is not surprising to me to read that the UN official's office in Lebanon were begging Israel to not bomb around that area and Israel did it anyways.....deliberately. Shameful.
Here's something interesting too:
Who has stated on many occasions that the UN is a useless group and if the top ten floors of the UN were to be taken away it wouldn't make a lick of difference? John Bolton did. Now, isn't it interesting that Dick Cheney has been behind the scenes for months now talking with Israel and Israel is now on a 'crusade' in the 'war on terror', but we then find out that the UN in Lebanon was attacked even after the UN begged Israel not to? Hmmmm. Doesn't it seem a little frightening that John Bolton, who was slipped into his position at the last minute as the US Ambassador to the UN when the Congress recessed and he also despises the UN, and Dick Cheney is behind the scenes telling Israel to push ahead with their massacre? I think so. It wouldn't surprise me if Dick and John told Israel to get rid of the UN in Lebanon. Something stinks and it smells like Cheney, Cod, Bolton, Flounder, Bush, Tuna, Israel, and Haddock! What I'm trying to say is that the Bush Cartel has an agenda and it has nothing to do with spreading peace and democracy. They came into office with their own Agenda...separate from America. Their desire is to dominate the Middle East (a "WWIII" over there would wipe out much of it and will be easily controlled after that) and from there...global domination! This is their plan and they want to do everything unilaterally without the advice or opinion of others. Getting rid of the UN as a whole or one office at a time would definately be part of their Evil Plan.

Sen. Arlen Spector getting ready to sue Bush...

...yup, you heard it. Spector is getting legislation together to sue the pants off Bush for breaking the laws of this country by consistently ignoring them! Here's what Spector said yesterday on the floor of the Senate:
"We will submit legislation to the United States Senate which will...authorize the Congress to undertake judicial review of those signing statements with the view to having the president's acts declared unconstitutional..."
Part of the legislation should include verbage that forces Bush to create a report for each signing statement that he issues explaining the lawful reason behind it. That was kicked around yesterday, so let's hope the Congress gets it's act together in creating legislation that is forceful against the most corrupt and criminal administration our country has ever seen!

Shocking! Bush has been using our Constitution as toilet paper

I watched the live press conference today of the American Bar Association (ABA) pointing out that Bush's signing statements (over 750 of them I may add!) he has used over the last 6 years is un-Constitutional. Well, no shit. Finally, a group of individuals has said it out loud and on t.v. live with the cameras rolling to record the moment forever! Jees.
To me, Bush has acted like a spoiled rotten brat from Connecticut ever since he took the Oath of office in January 2001. Why? Because he has done everything opposite of what his father's and Clinton's Administrations have done or he has decided that he can pick and choose the powers of these presidents or other president and take those powers to the max! Clinton, during his tenure as president, used @ 130 signing statements. (To be honest, I think the priviledge of signing statements should be taken away from all presidents!) Apparently Bush and his Brownshirts said to themselves at some point, "Hey, if Clinton can do it....we can do it more!", and so he did.
Bush has pretty much ignored every bill and law that has come across his desk because of these non-public signing statements. Oh, he's signed them all (except for the one on stem cell research, which he vetoed because he thinks that is murder and he would much rather that Americans kill when the human being is well established by living, breathing, and eating!), but with a stroke of a pen....he has ignored them all.
Lunkhead feels that he is the Unitary Executive and he doesn't give a flying rat's ass what other presidents did. He feels he has the right and power to do what he wants. This is why it was so important for the ABA to come out today and demand an inquiry from Congress! Of course, the president of the ABA said tongue in cheek that Bush, after Congress passes a new bill stating that the president cannot abuse this power, will sign the bill but will then use a signing statement to ignore it, so to prevent that, he is asking the republicans in Congress to get off their asses and do something about it! One avenue the republican controlled Congress can use? They can sue Bush. Oh how I would love that! They won't but Americans are steaming mad and having the ABA down the throats of the republicans on this issue might be exactly what our country needs!

The Bush Cartel is not involved in the current Israeli conflict (WINK, WINK)

Here's what Wayne Madsen is reporting on his site about the latest Israeli conflict:
July 22/23, 2006 -- The Israeli invasion of Lebanon was planned between top Israeli officials and members of the Bush administration. On June 17 and 18, former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Likud Knesset member Natan Sharansky met with Vice President Dick Cheney at the American Enterprise Institute conference in Beaver Creek, Colorado. There, the impending Israeli invasions of both Gaza and Lebanon were discussed. After receiving Cheney's full backing for the invasion of Gaza and Lebanon, Netanyahu flew back to Israel and participated in a special "Ex-Prime Ministers" meeting, in which he conveyed the Bush administration's support for the carrying out of the "Clean Break" policy -- the trashing of all past Middle East peace accords, including Oslo. Present at the meeting, in addition to Netanyahu, were current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Prime Ministers Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres. Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir is very old and suffers from dementia and Ariel Sharon remains in a coma after a series of strokes.

Three Enron bankers are being treated like dogs

And isn't that they way they all should be treated who were connected to the Enron scandal in any capacity? I think so. Not only do these three bankers from Britain, who are currently living in Houston, Texas, have to stay in our country, they also have to sell their homes to make their bail payments, and have to wear satellite ankle bracelets! Woohoo! I think the judge should force them to live amongst the 'common people'. That would scare them senseless!
Here's what Judge Smith had to say:
When Michael Sommer, representing Giles Darby, said that there was no “real world” motive for any of the Britons to flee bail, Judge Smith snapped: “What about the fact they’re facing 30 years in prison?”
He said: “This court has never released a defendant
to travel outside the United States. The defence has articulated substantial concerns. I’m not unsympathetic, but unfortunately this is something that always happens. The defendants will be contained in the US and their families can come and visit them in this country.”
The three bankers are charged with wire fraud in connection with the collapse of Enron. Bastards.

 

AT&T lawsuit to go forth despite Bush trying to invoke his "priviledges"

Finally, a judge with an understanding of the laws of this country! Here's what Judge Walker said about the case against AT&T and about the Bush Administration:
"While the court recognizes and respects the executive's constitutional duty to protect the nation from threats, the court also takes seriously its constitutional duty to adjudicate the disputes that come before it," Walker wrote in his ruling. "The compromise between liberty and security remains a
difficult one. But dismissing this case at the outset would sacrifice liberty for no apparent enhancement of security."

 

Let's take a moment to honor those soldiers who...


...have given their life for the Bush Cartel's financial transaction/occupation called the Iraq War. It's not surprising that the republicans were furious recently when the democratic party aired an advertisement that included pictures of our soldier's flag-draped coffins, because the republicans want Americans to think that fake wars are fun, are for making money, and death is not a part of it. Yeah, yeah, they want us to continue shopping, continue paying $3.00/gallon for gas, and act like everything is peachy keen and that war is fun and doesn't contain any blood or morbid images....and they don't want us to complain about a thing because.....they're "protecting us". Well, America needs to mourn our dead. We shouldn't just do it once a year on Veterans or Memorial day. We need to cry for those who have sacrificed, because if we don't, then many Americans will forget we're at war. Wait! That's why the republicans forced the democrats to take their advertisement off the air recently: THEY WANT AMERICANS TO FORGET WE'RE AT WAR. How nice of them. Makes you wonder how the families of the fallen feel when their government gives that impression to the nation....while their loved ones are being delivered to the United States in the cargo area of a commercial airliner!
Take a minute to remember our fallen and to remember why we are all so angry with the current government. Speak loudly too about how it's an abomination that ANYONE would force an advertisement off the air because of flag-draped coffins.

 

A summation of Bush's ego....

The following is an email to me from John (my new Patriot friend online), who is expressing his observations of Bush's ego and why Bush does what he does! I thought it was brilliant:

Kay

I can see a movie title: "The Eyes of Putin". I hate to see the insecure, sociopathic, mentally challenged Bush around anyone of consequence. Invariably he'll either feel up a world leader or get behind a mike to declare he eyeballed someone's soul.

It all says one thing to me. Bush has never wanted anything more for his fragile ego than to be seen as a powerful world leader and great commander-in-chief of the military. I'm no psycologist, Kay, but what he does, the way he responds, his temper, his foul mouth, his impatience.....all point to a classic case of 'something or another'. (I said I was no psycologist)

There were GW Bush's in my class in every grade of school while growing up and later in almost every job where I worked. I was pretty shy and low key in the 9th grade when the "school bully", Freddie Martin, road by me while I was walking and flipped me off for no apparent reason. I returned the greeting, knowing he would come back. I never liked him and I always thought it was silly for guys to back down when he yelled boo.

Freddie circled back, got off his bike, and asked me what the finger was for, right before I popped him in the mouth. He then began removing his cowboy belt with the huge buckle as he was getting up (I assume to instill fear and dread), talked a little more, then warned me we would meet again as he rode off.

My point is....this is George Bush. He was born with a chip on his shoulder and determined to make everyone pay. Acting tough is not a virtue, like Bush and many other Texans seem to think. Acting tough is simply a revelation of Bush's insecurity as a man and as a leader. Hell, Bar is more of a man than Jr. is.

The BS about looking into Putin's eyes to me indicates Bush wants to be seen in the same light as world leaders like Vladimir, which is troubling itself. An American President, by definition, shouldn't need validating when it comes to being seen as strong and, at a minimum, on a level with any leader in the world.

I've never forgotten Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s.....her unpretentious charm, her grace, her sense of style and beauty. It was easy for me to understand why Nancy Reagan hated her so much. Nancy just never understood what it was that caused the world public to rave about everything 'Jacquelin', yet sniff at Nancy's very expensive sense of taste.

She never understood that the dresses and hairstyles didn't make Jackie popular. The charm and mystic Jackie possessed made them popular and in much demand simply by wearing them. I distinctly remember a report from the '60s that said Jackie Kennedy had been wearing very housewifeish dresses with large polka dots. That was considered terribly gaudy at the time, until Jackie slipped one on. Why did she wear something like that? Hell, she liked it! She didn't give a crap what other people thought if she was wearing something she liked personally. Guess what the next American rage in dress styles soon became?

This is George's dilemma. His biggest problem as a world leader is that he's consciously trying to be seen as one. It don't work that way.

In all seriousness, I believe the President needs therapy. His brain is scarred from years of being, well.....a Bush. He probably grew up thinking Bar was his dad and dad was his mother. An understandable mistake, but the point is he needs help. And when he gets help, the world gets help.

If he continues on in life thinking all is well with him and that the rest of us are the ones off track, well...time will tell how his life ultimately plays out.

As for Freddie Martin, we became friends of sorts soon after our incident, but I could see he was still unsettled for some reason. Sadly, he later took his own life.

I know! We'll have an intervention for GW at your house! How does that sound?

Later,

John

The Bush Cartel is protecting their own still

I find it hysterical that the Bush Cartel doesn't like 'those Commies', but they have no problem with telling the Congress to stop their investigation into China's labor violations! My, my, my....how this Bunch of Fascists love cheap labor and don't care if Commies are providing it. I, suppose, when you give a dog a bone, one could get bit, but if you say sweet-nothings to it and don't scold it for raping the dog next door, well, one may find the dog will be nice and the relationship will blossom!

 

Is the government listening to us via satellite technology?

A few months ago on AMERICAblog, one of the contributors posted a picture of an AT&T envelope which had the words on the front that stated this:
"We finally did something you probably never thought the phone company would do. We listened."
Well, we all know now that AT&T was helping the government listen in to our phone calls, so these words have an interesting and ambiguous meaning, but that is what advertising does. It uses words and phrases hoping that the person reading or watching will take the meaning to be the most logical and the least hurtful. In the case of the AT&T envelope, the above use of words was intended to mean that AT&T never listens to their customers but they finally did. Well, for those of us who don't trust AT&T now, we took the words to mean that AT&T was in effect telling it's customers in a nonchalant way that they TRULY have been listening to us, but in an illegal way!
This brings me to my point of this post. A week or so ago, I received a mailing from DirecTV. I've been a customer for at least two years now. On the outside of the envelope were the words: "We heard you!" and then the sentence below it explained how they have changed the look of their bills. Uh huh. Well, here's an interesting point: Russell Tice, who is an NSA whistleblower and who has for months now tried to get our government TO LISTEN TO HIM about what OTHER SURVIELLANCE ACTIVITIES our government is participating in. He hasn't actually said what it is....but he has hinted in not so many words that our government is listening to us through SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY! Oh boy. Is it possible that the government is able to listen to us through our satellite cable boxes and that is what DirecTV was saying to it's customers on the outside of their mailing envelope? Or is our government listening to our personal conversations inside our cars that are equiped with On Star or other GPS tracking systems?
I don't know, but I'm wondering aloud again!! What a creepy time we are living in and it is no surprise to me that corrupt men (and a few women) are running the whole government and this kind of crap is happening! Good grief.

Still no word yet from Bush if....

...he's going to re-appoint Patrick Fitzgerald as Special Prosecutor! Interesting....makes you wonder what is taking him so long....hmmm....could it be the cases that Fitzgerald has been tackling? Could be.
Will Bush re-appoint him or will he put in a crony? I think we all know the answer to that question and it just disgusts me that we, Americans, don't have the option right now to appoint someone else to the presidency!!!

 

Bush spoke to the NAACP today....

...right before the worst part of the hurricane season! Though, throughout most of his speech he was greeted with polite applause and with only a few hecklers, he did say that he wanted to mend the relationship between blacks Americans and the republican party, but time will tell in the next few months if Bush will be true to his words. The fiercest hurricanes are yet to come to our nation and after the lack of reaction and response coming from Bush and his Brownshirts after Hurricane Katrina hit last year (where many blacks drowned in their attics and where many were taken out of state), he had better be prepared or his party's approval rating will go down from 10% to 1%!
The people of the Katrina ravaged areas are still suffering today. It makes my heart ache when I see the pictures from those first few days after the hurricane and it still upsets me when I see whole neighborhoods demolished with no reconstruction going on or hear that another dead body has been found after all this time. What an American tragedy that day was. Watching our fellow Americans suffering needlessly while our president stood on a stage playing guitar with college students was just too much to bear. Finding out that Condi Rice was in New York City buying expensive shoes and was oblivious as to what was happening to the people of the Gulf Coast and only left the store when an American citizen yelled at her to leave and do her freaking job!!!!
Bush said today in his speech to the NAACIP that he is well aware that racism still exists in our country. Did it ever occur to him that he has contributed to it, as well as, his family? His mother's response to the underpriviledged after Katrina hit was atrocious! Between Bush and his mother, we understand now why the phrase, "Shit runs downhill", was created!!! This is a family that is too over-priviledged to the point that they have no idea how the "little people" in this country survive each day. To them, living in a sporting complex after Katrina ripped their homes apart was much better than living where they were living before their lives were destroyed. They're arrogant and as far as I'm concerned.......they're useless to our nation.
So, time will tell if Bush meant every word he said today. I hope he comes through for the black Americans in our nation, but history has proven that he, his Administration, and his family aren't up for the task and don't care.
We'll have to wait and see unfortunately.

 

Wow! Santorum isn't backing a war with Iran...interesting

Awwwwww, poor Rick Santorum. He's really trying to be a good boy nowadays. He weally, weally, weally wants to stay in the Senate, so he's weally, weally, weally trying to stop rubbing his genitals in public about his undying loyalty to Bush's wars. But, it appears that ole Santorum is understanding that it is his undying loyalty to Bush and the Iraq war that has made his constituents in Pennsylvania despise him. So, to make up for it and to appear as if he's not a Nationalist Loyalist Fascist, Santorum does not want to back military action by the US against Iran, even though he says constantly that the 'war on terror' is a must in the 21st Century! He's been all for illegally invading and occupying a soveriegn nation to kill it's people for the sake of lining the pockets of Bush and his corporate Swines, but now that there is a TOUGH war on the horizon, suddenly, The Sanitoriam doesn't want to be a part of it! Will this help him get votes? Nope! Americans in PA have had with the whole republican ideology and agenda. Just like the Decider, there is nothing that Santorum can do or say at this point that will change the mood of the people. We've had it with all of them.

Guess how much the Bush wars are costing?

I don't know and neither does the Government Accountability Office! Great, just great. But we already knew that didn't we? Not only is Bush's buddies stealing our money to DO NOTHING over there, but any Iraqi money that has been found.......has also disappeared. Sadly, the money that has been dished out to Bush's corporate whores could have gone to securing our borders, our coastlines, our harbors, and our transportation agencies (and the poor, elderly, and disabled people of our country too!) all these years. But no. Bush had to start an illegal and immoral war (occupation) to make his friends and family rich. I hate him.

 

Only 17% are representing Bush on stem cell debate

Here is a poll result from AOL that appears on the above linked article:

Should federal aid be expanded for embryonic stem cell research?
Yes 83%
No 17%
Total Votes: 17,886


So, Bush again is only speaking for the BACKWASH of the country, you know, the left over slimey fluid left at the bottom of the glass that no one wants to drink! He doesn't speak for the rational, intelligent, and human-caring side of our country. He speaks for the dolts.

I'm with ya Baby! I'm with ya!


 

Today's quote...

“The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth”~Bill Clinton

 

Newt Gingrich wants republicans to win in November...

...so he's screaming from the rooftops that all republicans in the Congress need to start equating everything that is happening in the Middle East by "connecting all the dots" to prove to Americans that World War III is beginning to get the votes they need! What the hell. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That the only way the republicans can win in November is to get ready for the Rapture?!!!! Oh my Cat, I cannot believe what this man is doing. He's completely flipped his lid. But then again, it's all about fear with the republicans, though, isn't it? That's what they've always run on: Fear! that gays are going to convert your children to their lifestyle!; Fear! that abortions are murder but killing Iraqi children is not and is good for our safety!; Fear! that stem cells are alive and can burp and can have their diapers changed!; Fear! that the al-Qaida Boogeyman is hiding in our basements and behind every tree and flea market!; Fear! that the Rapture is coming because we are going to make it come by dropping big bad nuclear bombs on the countries of our choosing because we want votes...lots of votes, so pack your bags!
It never ends with the fear-mongers.
If you read the article linked above, make sure you pay close attention to what Newt is really saying. In my eyes, he's giving the Rapture Plan to the Congress and is telling them to act accordingly and to carry out the Plan. I got to thinking....is it possible that Newt Gingrich has formed his own PNAC (Project for the New American Century)? Because it was the PNAC back in the 1990's who was a right wing think tank that sat on the sidelines of the Clinton Administration and they fervently tried to apply their ideologies to the republican controlled Congress to meet their needs. Of course, most of the whackos of this group are now working in the current Bush Cartel, so Newt's stance makes me think that he is doing the same thing. Yes, he wants to run for president in 2008, but I am wondering if he isn't on the sidelines barking at the Congress just like his predecessors did to him. Hmmmm....could very well be. Nothing surprises me with these right wing, righteous-wannabee, neocons.

 

Our 'Dear Leader' said the word 's**t' today

Okay, I'm no angel. I use that word frequently and I do it when I'm talking about the Bush Cartel's policies quite frequently, but hearing our 'Dear Leader' say it today when he didn't know the microphone was on, well, I have to say...it was an eye opener! Why? Because Bush touted to Americans when he was campaigning for the presidency in 1999 & 2000 that he wanted to bring back civility, morality, and values back to the White House. Wow! Maybe he was thinking back then too that future presidents would accomplish that and not him! The man is walking irony.
Anyways, today when he was sitting at a table on the last day of the G8 in Russia, he sat there chomping on his food and started talking with Tony Blair of England. What did Americans learn from this candid exchange between the two warmongers? We learned that Bush sounds disgusting when he is eating food while talking. We learned that Bush & Blair are devious and make plans behind the backs of their citizens to fake out the masses (check the Condi conversation below where they're talking about using her and setting it up etc.). And...we learned that Bush & Blair thinks Putin is 'sweet' and is 'honey' (I don't know for a fact if that is who they were referring too but as I read down through the conversation....it seemed to make perfect sense. I took it to mean, 'he's easy', but I could be wrong. For all I know, some guy could have walked by them and they were merely reflecting on his physique!).
Here's what the two warmongers said to each other today when they thought no one was listening:

Bush: Yo, Blair. How are you doin’?
Blair: I’m just . . .
Bush: You’re leaving?
Blair: No, no, no not yet. On this trade thingy . . .(inaudible)
Bush: Yeah, I told that to the man. Thanks for (inaudible) it’s awfully thoughtful of you.
Blair: It’s a pleasure.
Bush: I know you picked it out yourself.
Blair: Absolutely (inaudible).
Bush: What about Kofi? (inaudible) His attitude to ceasefire and everything else . . . happens.
Blair: Yeah, no I think the (inaudible) is really difficult. We can’t stop this unless you get this international business agreed.
Bush: Yeah.
Blair: I don’t know what you guys have talked about, but as I say I am perfectly happy to try and see what the lie of the land is, but you need that done quickly because otherwise it will spiral.
Bush: I think Condi is going to go pretty soon.
Blair: But that’s, that’s, that’s all that matters. But if you . . . you see it will take some time to get that together.
Bush: Yeah, yeah.
Blair: But at least it gives people . . .
Bush: It’s a process, I agree. I told her your offer to . . .
Blair Well, it’s only if, I mean, you know. If she’s got a, or if she needs the ground prepared, as it were. Because obviously if she goes out, she’s got to succeed, if it were, whereas I can go out and just talk.
Bush: You see, the thing is, what they need to do is to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over. (inaudible)
Blair: Syria.
Bush: Why? Blair Because I think this is all part of the same thing.
Bush: Yeah.
Blair: What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if we get a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way . . .
Bush: Yeah, yeah, he is sweet.
Blair: He is honey. And that’s what the whole thing is about. It’s the same with Iraq.
Bush: I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Assad and make something happen.
Blair: Yeah.
Bush: We are not blaming the Lebanese Government.
Blair: Is this . . .? (he taps the microphone in front of him and the sound is cut.)

Wow. I still can't get over that Bush uses the slang term, "yo"! What is he...16 years old or something!?! How embarrassing the man is to our country!!

This woman is the true definition of a 'freedom fighter'


Would you believe me if I told you that this woman with the gray hair has spent almost her whole life fighting for the rights of those who can't? Well, she has! My friend Miriam online who spends a great deal of time in Israel just got back from there and sent me a bunch of pictures of her trip. (She noted to me that she has been in the 'fetal position' for a few weeks now because of the violence that has erupted over there) Here's what she said about Hava Keller...the extraordinary woman in the picture:


"She escaped the Nazis when she was 9, joined an armed, underground Jewish militia when a teen, fought in Israel's War of Independence, and have been fighting
for a Palestinian State in the West Bank, and Gaza, ever since.
Three years ago, she was shot in the arm and leg, by the IDF, with 'concussion' grenades."


Pretty incredible, huh? More on her life is linked above in the title of this thread.

 

One result of the Iraq occupation by US forces....


...and as a mother, I cannot bear to look into the eyes of this Iraqi child knowing that the leaders of my country WANTED this war, so they could line the pockets of their corporate Swines. Who is protecting the Iraqi children? Who! And how the hell can a woman in this country who calls herself a republican or a democrat look at this child's face and eyes and say, "You deserved it!". How?!!? How is it possible that after years of being a compassionnate country (who would come to the aid of others across this beautiful planet) our nation is now filled with people who can look at a child suffering and be proud of it? It is so incredibly infuriating and sad.

 

Here's what our Dear Leader said back in 1989...

"I will never apologize for the United States of America – I don't care what the facts are."– George Bush, Newsweek, August 15, 1989 (Commenting on the shooting down of an Iranian airliner by the U.S. warship Vincennes, killing 290 civilian passengers.)

Well, now we know why Bush does what he does and never ever takes responsibility for his own actions! Clearly, he believes our country can do whatever it wants, wherever it wants, and when it wants...and doesn't have to apologize even if the actions are illegal, immoral, and needing an apology.

Smackdown: Bush v. Putin

Oh my Jelly Sandwich. Today in Germany was not a good day for our Decider at all. Here's what Putin said to Bush after Bush went on and on and on about how wonderful Iraq's democracy is doing and how Russia should also choose that same path:

Putin, in a barbed reply, said:
"We certainly would not want to
have the same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, I will tell you quite honestly."
(the audienced laughed)
Bush's face reddened as he tried to
laugh off the remark. "Just wait," Bush replied about Iraq.
What does he mean, 'just wait'? Does he mean that eventually (maybe 50 years from now?) Iraq will be a budding democracy? Is that the kind of message you want to give Putin....that he'll have to wait a long time after years of chaos, death, and carnage to achieve a democracy? Or is Bush implying that he truly believes that Iraq is a wonderful place to be and is going great? I don't know, but I am so embarrassed by his actions over there in Germany. He's a fool. He is such an abomination to America's reputation. How could 59 million people be so stupid in the 2004 election!!!! (well, that is if you believe that all votes were counted and the final tally was honest and correct)

 

Think no one died when Valerie Plame's identity was revealed?

Well, then check out the CIA Memorial at the link above! The CIA has a stone dedication Memorial for their agents and operatives who have died in the line of duty. In some cases, the agent or operative was working on a highly classified mission when he or she died and the CIA cannot release the name of the individual to the public, so instead, they insert a star in its place. In March of 2003, Bush illegally bombed and invaded Iraq. Shortly thereafter, Joe Wilson wrote his op-ed piece entitled, "What I didn't find in Iraq" and the rest is history. (Valerie's identity as a CIA operative was divulged to the public from the White House to Robert Novak, who in turn published the information. This was revenge on her and her husband Joe.) Now, if you look at the picture below the CIA Memorial, you'll notice the list of names and ONE STAR in 2003 that reflects the deaths. Is the star a representation of one of the Brewster Jennings operatives who was part of Valerie's group that was in Iran spying on the Iranian's nuclear activity and who was killed as a result of her outing? Many think so. The Bush Cartel likes to say that identifying Valerie was no big deal and didn't hurt anyone at Brewster Jennings and did not hurt our national security. Well, can you imagine what the scene looked like when this Brewster Jenning's operative was sitting in an office in Iran talking to them about their secrets and someone barges in to say that they just read about Brewster Jennings is a spy company for the CIA in the US?!!! Can you imagine how frighten the operative must have felt when that happened? And then to be dragged off to be killed? Oh boy. I don't like to think about it. Iran knew at that moment that America had infiltrated their country's secrets.
Of course, all of this leads to what is going on today, because we have no idea what Iran is doing in the nuclear area, and we can only speculate because we no longer have spies to find out for us. It's so shameful.

 

Proud to be a liberal

"What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."

John F. Kennedy, September 14, 1960, at his acceptance of the New York Liberal Party Nomination.

 

NYTimes finds envelope with suspicious powder in it

Well, here we go again! Remember after 9/11 democrat Senators and 'liberal' leaning newspapers and newspeople received Anthrax laced envelopes? Now, who in our country hates democrat Senators, 'liberal' newspapers, and the media in general? Hmmmmmm....which political party would that be? (I'll give you a few moments to think about that but here's a hint: the political party starts with the letter 'R') I find it veeeerrrryyyy interesting that the NYTimes has now found an envelope with suspicious powder in it! Just in time too, because the NYTimes has been lambasted by the Evil Administration in the People's House recently for their role in "outing" Bush's surveillance programs (programs that he even issued Executive Orders back in September 2001 but you're not supposed to remember that! He likes a dumb America.), so it seems obvious to me that this Admin whose political affiliation starts with the letter 'R' is creating their fear again! Let's not forget that the Anthrax that was used right after 9/11 was Army-grade Anthrax. Now, who at the time controlled all levels of government including the military? Hmmmm....I think you know. And wasn't it interesting that the powder was sent to everyone who was either a democrat or had liberal leanings? I find it very intriguing to say the least! Of course, this scare at the NY Time will probably end up being nothing (and I hope that is the case too) but I find it so weird that an envelope with suspicious powder would be found at this time. My, my, my.....our Dear Leader and his Men sure do have impeccable timing. They suuuurrrreeeee do! Like I've been saying for years now, everything this Admin has done since January 2001 has been INTENTIONAL.....everything. They are a virus on our nation and Americans need to protect themselves from them!

 

Rick Santorum is waaaayyyyyy behind his opponent....

...but ole Ricky thinks he's going to win anyways because he has lots of money in his campaign chest. Uh huh. Well, according to the polls in Pennsylvania, he is 30 percentage points behind his opponent right now. Gee, do you think maybe he's behind because he continues to lie to the voters in Pennsylvania on where he ACTUALLY lives? (Virginia....Tom Delay has also made Virginia his home state now, which tells me this is where all the corrupt republicans in our country go to live!) Or maybe it has something to do with Rick Santorum standing on the floor of the Senate raving about the wmd found in Iraq while rubbing his genitals against the podium because he was so delighted with the news? (only to find out that the report was old and the sarin gas that was found was from 1988 and wouldn't even give a mouse a headache let alone a human being! So, it was non-news and he made himself look like a complete ass!!!) Or maybe it just because Santorum loves our Dear Leader and is willing to go the extra mile for him by putting the gay issue and the flag burning issue on the end of the political fishing line and the voters in Pennsylvania are on to his Evil Ways? Honestly, I think Rick Santorum is sinking because of all of the above. Americans are tired of these right wing whackos.
Americans are in CLEAN-UP MODE right now. Come November, I'm hoping for massive change in our government. If the democrats take back one house...excellent. If they take back both houses...awesome! But if they balance out both houses....we can still have an advantage as well! Americans are wanting change and people like Rick Santorum are going to be swept under the rug by America's big ole broom.

 

An update on one Bush family friend...

Ahhhhhh dissent.....


"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."~ Harry S. Truman

Dennis Hastert hospitalized for skin infection....


....now how do you suppose he got that? Maybe he needs to start moving his leg to the side when he is crapping on the Constitution and the citizens of this country! Who am I kidding. He'll just take some anti-biotics and continue doing what he's been doing all these years. Expect more leg infections on Dennis.

 

Darth Cheney is getting his arse sued by Valerie Plame

Good. And not only is Valerie suing Cheney, she's suing as part of this law suit...Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and 10 other unnamed officials connected to the most treasonous administration to walk the hallways in the People's House! Won't it be delicious to see all of these criminals put under Oath in a courtroom? I think so. Of course, there is the chance that the Cabal will 'suicide' Valerie, so I hope Valerie is protecting herself.

 

Interesting, Ken Lay 'dies' and then an Enron witness is...


...found dead in a park in London. Huh. Here's the burning question: wonder why that is? It appears that quite a few Enron witnesses have died from 'suicide'. Huh. Burning question again: wonder why that is? I'm wondering if these 'suicides' are the same type of 'suicides' like the microbiologists right after the Anthrax attacks on our country after9/11. Hmmmm....could be.
Neocons, any thoughts on this? You're the 'expert' on Bush and his corrupt buddies, so any insight you may have on why these Enron witnesses' bodies are piling up would be greatly appreciated.

Israel needs to back off or they will be blamed for world destruction

Let me start off by saying that I am not a Jew hater. I lived for many years in Falmouth, Maine and had Jewish neighbors whom I adored. We all shared the same values in our lives: healthy children, clean environment, and peace on Earth (which to us was the 'Love Thy Neighbor as Yourself' attitude). But, I have to say our support of Israel is creating horror for our country.
Within the last two weeks, Palestinians took hostage of two Israeli soldiers. I can see why Israel would be upset by that, but to retaliate the way they have been is way over the top! Two hostages taken equals bombing the hell out of the Palestinian infrastructure which has now put innocent Palestianians in peril? And then constantly bombing and killing Palestinian's on the border? Jees. At one point, Israel decided to go over the border into Lebanon and the Lebanese fought back and killed some of the Israeli soldiers and took TWO MORE HOSTAGES from the Israeli Army. Israel is now claiming that what Lebanon did was an act of war! And now........Syria is involved. For the love of Steak Bomb Sandwiches.....guess who backs Syria and Lebanon? Iran. Guess who thinks the Holocaust never happened and wants Israel to be gone? Iran. Guess who will have to come to the defense of Israel if all hell breaks lose? The United States! Do you see where I'm going with this? This is bad shit for our country. If you're one that believes that Osama attacked our country on 9/11 because of our support of Israel and because of our aggressions against Muslims across the planet for years, well, as soon as we come to the defense of Israel we are going to get lambasted from all directions (by air and sea I suspect) and our actions (Israel and ours) will prove to all the 'Osamas' of the world that we are the world's terrorists!
Israel needs to back off. If they want to have peace they need to carry themselves as peacemakers, otherwise, it will be the end as we know it.
The above linked article is about Syria's role in all of this. I couldn't help but to think back to last year when the ex-Lebonese Prime Minister was assassinated and Bush came out immediately and held a press conference (Rose Garden press conference? I can't remember right now) to CONDEMN SYRIA FOR THE MURDER. Huh? I remember thinking that the whole thing was well planned just to blame Syria. As you read the article, keep that in the back of your mind.

 

And now a word from our ChickenHawk in Thief...


"Bgawk! Bgawk! War! Bgawk! Corruption Bgawk! Bgawk! Bgawk! I'm the Decider, Bgawk! I'll leave the Iraq war for future presidents to handle! Bgawk, bgawk, bgawk!!!!!!!!!!! Rove is staying and is innocent, Bgawk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Me and 'Anonymous' conversation with an idiotic neocon

The only reason why I'm posting this conversation is because MTI (or Cepan) is a coward neocon who is commenting only on a previous post, which is waaaaaayyyyyyyy down near the bottom of this page. Why won't he comment on others posts or at least continue his conversation with us near the top so it is easier for everyone? Because MTI is a coward! Yes! He's a neocon, Bush supporting, coward. He knows he's an imbecile and doesn't want anyone new coming to my blog to read what he has been writing to us and to figure that out for themselves! At one point, he told me that he is coming to my blog to teach me a lesson. LOL This neocon Bush supporter is completely insane and he's proven his insanity on Americablog too. So 'enjoy' reading our conversation! (understand that this conversation has taken place over the last few days) (also....I've posted a link to MTI's blog on the sidebar under "Favorite American Taliban Links"! Go check it out! The man is insane!!!!

 

End of cowboy diplomacy? Really?



Has it really ended? Because just yesterday Bush was talking to the press in a Texas cowboy accent about how 'well' his economy is doing! He does that all the time. When he wants to fake out the masses (his 'great economy' is only temporary), he uses his Texan drawl to make his point. It's so irritating and so noticeable that it's pathetic. And when has Bush ever used diplomacy since being given the office of the presidency by the US Supreme Court in 2000?
Here's what REAL diplomacy means:
Main Entry: di·plo·ma·cy
Function: noun
Pronunciation: d&-'plO-m&-se
1 : the art and practice of conducting negotiations between nations
2 : skill in handling affairs without arousing hostility : TACT

And guess what? Everything the man has done has created hostility against us! It doesn't matter if he is using 'cowboy diplomacy', 'cute little kitten diplomacy', or 'God diplomacy', because the man cannot...I repeat...cannot create anything positive because he does not have the ability to do so! He does not know what the definition of diplomacy really is and it shows. Just like ignoring our Constitution and making up laws as he goes along, he just decides what his definition of diplomacy is and runs with it! Maybe if he spent less time hugging and looking into the eyes of dictators to their souls and spent more time with people who are full of love and reap peace from their eyes, our nation wouldn't be so hated and despised right now! Good grief.

 

I'm voting for Jean Hay Bright against Olympia Snowe this November. Here's a few words from Jean I just received via email:

"Dueling protests in Blue Hill"
On Monday, July 3, I went to my old home town of Blue Hill in support of the 24-hour Bring the Troops Home Fast that was being conducted there and in towns across the nation. I joined old friends, members of Peninsula Peace and Justice and Veterans for Peace and others on the steps of the Blue Hill Town Hall.
Meanwhile, across the street, a contingent of pro-war protesters set up shop, serving hot dogs and drinks to their group.
The pro-war group had tried the previous week to get the Fast moved off the town hall property, contending that protests against the government were not appropriate on government property. Thankfully, the Blue Hill Selectmen cited the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech, the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, all of which applied in this case.
The contrast between the two groups was stunning. The fasters were serious, somber, and resolute, focused on the war, and determined to do what they could to bring our good military men and women home from that war as soon as possible. The pro-war group was an angry bunch, mad at their neighbors on the town hall steps simply for not towing the pro-war line.
At one point I decided to talk to the pro-war group. It was an interesting discussion. Captain Tom Kelly (Ret.) of Blue Hill, wanted to ignore the reasoning (or lack thereof) that got us into the war. He just wanted the Fasters to know that their actions were demoralizing to the troops, all of whom, Kelly contended, were happy to be serving in Iraq. Others insisted Iraq was central to the attacks on 9/11, and seemed stunned when I informed them that George W. Bush himself had admitted, belatedly, that Saddam Hussein had not been involved. And so it went.
Anyway, I hear I was on Channel 7 News in Bangor. And an article appeared in the Weekly Packet, Blue Hill's hometown paper.

 

Homeland Security has released their list of terror targets today...

...and they've listed flea markets, popcorn factories, and "a beach at the end of street" in Indiana as al-Qaida's #1 targets! Oh for the love of the Bologna Hoagie Sandwich......what are these morons thinking! Are they children with an imagination so great that even a kindergarden teacher would be impressed? Stunning. Is the Empire State Building on the list? Nope. Is the Sears tower on the list? Nope. Is the NY subway system on the list? Nope. But freaking Amish flea markets are!!!!!!
Feeling safe now knowing the Bush's imbeciles are working hard on faking out the masses? Well, you shouldn't!
Surprisingly, lemonade stands, bowling alleys, and knitting groups were not on the list! What were they thinking to not include those targets, huh? Hey, if they're going to be delusional with such granduer, they might as well go all the way. Yeah, I think it would have been more affective if they had added in cemetaries where all the dead people hang out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but of course they did include morturaries on the list so they were on the right trail! Oh for the love of the Quarter Pounder With Cheese....
All I'm going to say is I believe 'al-Qaida' is a Bush family created death squad (kind of like John Negroponte's death squads under Reagan/Bush Sr.). If you notice al-Qaida always seems to be there to help them meet their goals for their Evil Agenda. 9/11? Yep, that helped them. Chaos in Iraq? Yup, al-Qaida is there to keep the chaos going so American troops can stay to protect American corporate interests (which is all they've been protecting since Bush illegally invaded and occupied Iraq in March 2003). Creating a joke list of al-Qaida targets? Yup, it keeps the fear going especially if one put non-targets on the list to convince dumb Americans in small town America that they too could get bit by the al-Qaida Boogeyman!
Anyways, here's how I see it. Bush Sr. trained Osama bin Laden during the late 1980's through our CIA to train him to fight the Russians when Osama first went to Afghanistan. Bush Sr. relied on him and I believe he does to this day too. The interesting part is that al-Qaida was born shortly after this training and al-Qaida seems to follow the Bushes around especially when they need an Agenda completed! Notice how Bush Sr. during the 4 years of his presidency never mentioned Osama and al-Qaida as being a threat to our nation. His tenure ends and he is outraged that Clinton got in and a month later al-Qaida operatives attack the 1993 WTC (in which Clinton tracked down and jailed which I'm sure made Bush Sr. and his al-Qaida thugs very mad). From that moment on Clinton was watching Osama and his Thugs but there was never a comment from Bush Sr. (about what he knew etc.) during those eight years. Fast forward to 2000 and Baby Bush IGNORES all the PDBs (Presidential Daily Briefings) that were coming across his lawn chair as he vacationed that said al-Qaida was getting ready to attack again. Why would he do that? Oh yeah! I know! Osama is the Bush family's private death squad who carry out missions for them to disrupt world markets or to keep chaos going across the globe (which affects oil prices!), so it made sense that the Baby would ignore these warnings because 9/11 was something that he and his PNAC Cabal were waiting for! Osama to the rescue again.
Homeland Security is a joke, but then again, if al-Qaida is really working for your president's family and friends, well, then it's not so funny when they release a list of targets and you know deep down they are laughing their asses off as they release it, because they know damn well that the Bush family gives out the real targets! So, they make up shit just to make it look good.
We were duped on 9/11 and have been duped by the Bush family and all the thugs who work for this family for years. Time to end it. This family no matter how bad they want it.........is not a dynasty. They're traitors to our country and will always be known as that.

 

Yup, Asshole is still drunk with power....


...and he won't put down the bottle either. Would someone please tackle this man and rip his power out of his hands!!!!!!!!!!

 

Condi Rice can kiss my American-loving ass...

I've had it with this woman. What has she done since 2001? Nothing. She, like her boss, has turned her back on the security of our nation. She and her boss would rather vacation than handle the tough countries across the planet who hate our guts and hate our leadership. Iraq was a cinchy country to overtake and Rice and Bush knew that and that is why they were gallantly making up bullshit about Iraq to get the American people to band with them in illegally attacking, invading, and occupying this sovereign nation. It was so cinchy to do! But there were other countries in the 'Axis of Evil' that Condi and her boss have ignored for years! It's maddening to me that they have allowed these country's leaders to stew in their hatred against us, but here we are. We have North Korea breathing down our necks and we have Iran giving us the finger. Condi says she is 'disappointed' that talks with Iran may not happen. She's disappointed? She's done nothing for years and now she's acting like she has some kind of force over Iran! They're not listening to her and her boss because they know Condi & Bush don't care what happens! Hell, we could have known exactly what Iran was doing all these years if the Bush Cabal hadn't exposed the CIA front company Brewster Jennings when they revealed Valerie Plame's identity! As soon as that happened, their spying and investigation on this country stopped. We have no idea now what is going on, but to the Bush Cabal, that appears to be a good thing. Why? Because now they can make up shit like they did with Iraq to get what they want. In the meantime, our country is less powerful now because we have people running it who don't give a shit about us or our security, because they know that they will be safe no matter what happens. I spit on all of them.

 

Karl Rove was a leaker....

...and the asshole got away with it! This is the most criminal and most corrupt administration ever in the history of our nation. Thought a blow job was bad during the 1990's? Nothing compares to what the Bush Cabal has done to the integrity of the Oval office and the integrity of our nation! They're thugs, plain and simple. Of course, right before the news broke, Bush decided to give everyone in his office a raise in which Karl Rove got one too. Disgusting. Who wants to bet that Karl Rove will get the highest honor in the land now for a US citizen: the Medal of Freedom. It wouldn't surprise me. Criminals always pat the back of other criminals.

From my new friend & Patriot, John Conley....enjoy!

FORGIVE US (U.S.) OUR TRESPASSES

John Conley, former United States Marine.

DO we show as much care for casualties in Iraq as for our space travellers? Astronauts truly have to possess an extraordinary amount of courage and commitment on the road to performing their duties in space. While the mission itself may be exciting and even necessary in expanding our knowledge of the universe in which we live, it seems, rightfully so, that nothing is spared to ensure the safe return of our fellow Americans. This is always priority number one and as a nation we expect nothing less if the shuttle program is expected to continue. We’ve collectively mourned the loss of what seems like too many lives in our quest for knowledge of space and we’ve discovered our threshold for suffering the loss of astronauts to be very near. As a matter of fact, space agency NASA has made it known unequivocally that should another disaster happen for any reason the shuttle program would be ended.

I feel a sense of wonder at our universe in general and the space shuttle program in particular. Listening recently to Wayne Hale, shuttle project manager, reporting on the success and progress of the Independence Day shuttle launch, I paused and attempted to grasp the enormity of just what’s required to lift a shuttle from its launch pad, send it into space, and return it safely to earth.

Hale was understandably excited with the current progress of the mission, but in response to a question was nonetheless quick to answer such an undertaking can never be risk-free. Indeed, consider for a moment the numbers googled from NASA and other authoritative sites.

To lift a total gross weight of 8.77 million pounds off the launch pad to a speed of 17,000 miles per hour in 8.5 minutes requires the rocket engines produce 15 million horsepower of thrust. During this time the speed of the gases exiting each of the Solid Rocket Booster motors is 6,000 mph, three times the speed of a high-powered rifle.

It’s not difficult to imagine the nervousness an astronaut must feel sitting within and preparing to ride this mindlessly powerful mechanical monster, especially considering the existence of innumerable possibilities for malfunctions and disaster. For example, the two solid rocket booster engines cannot be shut down once they are ignited at lift off. Talk about ‘point of no return’! Consider also the vast array of complex electrical components and computers to go with 230 miles of electrical wiring in just the orbiter alone. I suspect it might be difficult to get Murphy’s Law (if anything can go wrong it will) out of your head at Take-off minus five seconds.

Now, let’s imagine the brass at NASA arguing for an early launch to Mars citing sketchy and fabricated intelligence that Martians actually exist and are committed to destroying Earth lest we act quickly. Because of the extreme and predictable danger to our astronauts, mission specialists and safety engineers plead for caution before a launch is even considered, yet they are ignored, ridiculed, threatened and even fired by the bosses for speaking out.

Now imagine this incompetence results in 325 consecutive launch failures, each one claiming the lives of eight Americans whose only sin was simple dedication to his or her country. In time we learn the Martians weren’t actually going to attack us at all and, as a matter of fact, they didn’t even possess the means to harm us if they wanted to. Then we notice the drumbeat to ‘attack lest we be attacked’ has somehow morphed seamlessly into a mission to colonise Mars and, while we’re at it, take the Martians’ gold for ourselves - ‘ourselves’ being myriad corporate entities with obvious connections to the NASA bosses.

Is it not a shame that, as a nation, we apparently do not have the same regard for the lives of our brave men and women being killed daily in Iraq as we have for our astronauts? In our hypothetical, eight Americans killed in each of 325 launches because of the inability of NASA bosses to admit they’ve committed one incompetent blunder after another would result in a total loss of 2,600 astronauts. Which is close to the number of Americans killed in Iraq since President George W. Bush and his Secretary of State made dire warnings of imminent ‘mushroom clouds’ hovering over America. As we know now, this singular, ominous motive has been replaced by another, now billed as original, to ‘spread democracy’ to the Middle East.

Besides the American and Coalition casualties, how do we calculate the ‘collateral’ loss of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians killed as a result of crossfire and some, more tragically, by our own hands?

Do we Americans have no shame? Have we completely lost our sense of right and wrong as a civil society? Do we not deserve God’s wrath for the destruction wrought and tolerated under the ‘leadership’ of George W. Bush?

It’s a terrible and tragic irony that on Independence Day 2006 we wring our hands at the very thought of another disaster taking the lives of Americans travelling in space, yet yawn at headlines of another young marine or soldier killed - killed sacrificially - while fighting on our behalf in an American pre-emptive war, a war planned months or years prior to September 11, 2001, based on lies and for the enrichment of corporate America.

God forgive us.

Bush wants to get 'jiggy with it' with Putin


Yup, Bush wants to be nice to Putin now...you know...he doesn't want to upset other dictators like he has in North Korea, so he is going to kiss the ass of Putin while at the G8 Summit. He could resort to kissing Putin's tummy like Putin did recently to a little Russian boy. Ewwwwwww....dictator love is nasty...ewwwwwww!

Katherine Harris is resorting to....lying about her opponent

Gee, isn't that surprising. It does prove, however, that she is a tried and true republican, because when the going gets tough.......lie, lie, lie your ass off by accusing your opponent, who you'll be running against in the upcoming US Senate election in November, of things that you've done but make it seem like your opponent is just as bad as you!
Yup, she's a republican alright. Here are the first three paragraphs from the article above:
"LAKELAND — U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris said Friday that her political opponent, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, has done the same thing she has in accepting illegal campaign contributions.

The difference, Harris said, was that she later contributed the money to charity, and Nelson did not.


Nelson's spokesman, Dan McLaughlin, said the difference is that Harris' acceptance of illegal contributions has been mentioned twice in federal grand jury investigations."

Well, there you have it. I wonder if Katherine Harris admitting to this will help in the federal grand jury investigations in the future. Who knows but I'm dying to find out! I would laugh my ass off if she just sealed her future by shooting herself in the foot while trying to shoot her opponent. Oh how I love the "Republican Horror Picture Show"!

 

Secrecy is the name of the game for the most corrupt Admin to walk the halls of the People's House

Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michegan is finding that out! Well, you'd think that ole Peter would have by now started asking serious questions to this Administration, but he hasn't, because apparently, when one is head of the House Permanent Select Committe on Intelligence, you ask those questions when it's too late!
Makes me angry. The Bush Regime has violated the laws of this country for years and they started doing it back in February 2001 when they decided to start listening in on AMERICAN's phone calls. Had 9/11 happened at that point? No!!!! For crying out loud, Bush and Cheney should be impeached just for that. Hoekstra is now realizing that there are other secret surveillance programs that the Regime has embarked on and hasn't told the Congress about it. Is it just me or is it scary to think that there could be a lot more than just one or two additional secret programs going on behind the backs of Americans? Do you have a loved one who despises the Bush Regime and that person is missing? Well, you might want to point the finger at our government because who the hell knows what the hell they are doing!
(The Patriot Act, which passed right after 9/11, has many of us thinking that it was written during the 1990's by the PNAC whackos in our current government (Cheney, Rummy, Negroponte, John Bolton etc.) because it is over 300 pages long. It is a major part of their Evil plan and when it passed.......AMERICAN'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WENT OUT THE DOOR! The Patriot Act allows the government to come into your home and look around without a warrant. If they find something they like, they can take it (hard drives etc.), and,.......they can come for you at a later date. They'll bring you to a secret location and they have a "right" to torture you and the whole time you are in their custody.....you can't talk to your family or your lawyer. Your family would not know where you are for God's sake. And? They can keep you indefinately just like we've witnessed at the GITMO prison in Cuba. Yup, we have Hitler's NeoNazi Regime running our country right now.)
So, if Rep. Peter Hoekstra is SERIOUS about demanding answers from this Administration.......he had better act quickly and decisively because our Constitutional rights are teetering on the edge of collapse. If he doesn't act at all, then he will be on the long list of traitors who allowed the Bush Regime to turn our country into a dictatorship. We will blame him too.

 

And now...a word from our republican fascists....

The shit never ends. It never ends!

 

"The US forces cannot protect the Iraqis"...


....and the Iraqi officials are now calling on peacekeepers from the United Nations to help out! Wow, haven't we all been saying that our mere presence in Iraq is causing turmoil? Could the Iraqis be sick of the NeoNazis (or Skinheads) who have joined our military because they are reeking havoc over there? Are they starting to understand that American forces are doing worse things than the insurgency? I think so.
It's time to redeploy our troops to Kuwait to let the Iraqis run their own country.
While the republicans in our Congress brought fake war resolutions to the floor recently to 'stay the course', because they feel this is the best plan, well, it appears that us liberals were correct when we said that even the Iraqis are asking for us to set a DEFINATE timetable to get the hell out, so 'staying the course' is a bad idea! This could be an easy out for the republicans who started this war, but they will never take advantage of it, why? MONEY....LOTS OF MONEY....TO BE MADE IN IRAQ! The American corporations will use our soldiers to defend them like they have been for years now against the 'evil enemy' and won't be forced out without a fight. The American businesses (or Bush's buddies) are there for the long term.
This past weekend many Iraqis were slaughtered. What will the Bush Regimes plan now that the Iraqis are wanting UN peacekeepers to come in? Who wants to be that the Prime Minister or other high officials will be assassinated now? It will be interesting how this will proceed.

Our 'Dear Leader' taught us a lot this week...

Our 'Dear Leader', Bushitler, admitted this week that he's has been friends with Ken Lay and mourns his death, that he is God because the Intelligence community updates him Monday-Saturday on what the terrorists are doing but not on Sundays (hey, God rested on the 7th day so why wouldn't our God?!!?), that he has no idea that North Korea has increased their nuclear capacity even though the Intelligence community has said so and doesn't want to hear that from anyone (it was probably a Sunday when that info came through), and that he is looking for Osama every day, thinks about it every day, dreams about capturing him every day, but when Larry King asked him if he's obsessed about Osama after all that he had said, he said...'no'.
We also learned this week that Bush is treating North Korea differently because it is different from Iraq. Yeah, it's different alright: North Korea has known nuclear weapons, North Korea has a huge military, North Korea has submarines, North Korea isn't afraid of the world and of Bush himself, North Korea is being led by a madman and North Korea is stating that they will attack pre-emptively.
On the other hand, Iraq: had no military to speak of, had no wmd and the only 'evidence' that proved 'they did' was fake/forged evidence, had a leader that liked American culture for the most part, had a leader that has always trusted the Bush family but is always back stabbed by them, was a sovereign nation because it was not declaring war on a country, but it had oil! Yup, the big factor and difference is that Iraq has oil and North Korea doesn't.
We also learned from Laura Braun, our Bushitler's wife, that she doesn't listen to the polls because every where she travels, the people love her and her husband, so she doesn't understand what the polls are talking about. She neglected, however, to tell the American people that those that oppose her and her husband are pulled away and knocked unconscience and wake up on a cement floor the next day, while those that love her and her husband are invited to their sides for their signatures, which has everything to do with why she thinks everyone loves them and the polls are wrong!
We also learned (again!) that we can't trust Bush's Intelligence agencies to protect us. A 'terror plot' was foiled recently in NYC but there were no weapons found, no surveillance found that was done on prospective targets by the 'terrorists', and the FBI couldn't understand which tunnel the 'terrorists' were talking about. And how did they learn that these 'terrorists' were scheming to attack NYC? By listening to their telephone conversations and reading what they were writing on the Internet. This story proves once again that we cannot trust the government to interpret what we are doing and what our intentions are.
I get death threats all the time by neocons online but if I was to call the police or call the FBI everytime, they would think I was a lunatic, especially when nothing happens. This is what the government is doing. They're crying wolf all the time and Americans are tired of it!
So, it was quite a week this week and we learned a lot about our Fuehrer. The bottomline? He's a warmongering, lying, stinking, imbecile.

 

Bush finally told the truth last night...

...he appeared on Larry King Live last night with his empty-headed wife and admitted he's known Ken Lay for years and admitted they were good friends! Larry King started the conversation about Ken Lay with this remark, "You're good friends with Ken Lay...", to which Bush nodded his head deeply. Bush said he mourned Ken Lay's death and will be writing Linda Lay a letter to reflect that. He also went on to say that he first met Lay when Bush was campaigning for Governor of Texas. The most interesting thing is that since Enron collapsed, Bush has denied that he was friends with Ken Lay. He distanced himself from Lay just like Bush has distanced himself from Jack Abramoff. This should be front page news for God's sake. It's just more proof that we have a liar in the White House and more proof that our president is connected to the most corrupted deviant people in our nation and in his own party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The American corporate slave-trade is hoping for a...

...Calderon win in Mexico! By the looks of it, their wish may come true. Obrador, who is the leftist candidate running against Calderon, is a Mexican hopeful. His desire is to make his country a profitable place for all Mexicans to live and he wants to make it so his fellow citizens won't have to go to America to find work. It appears Calderon may have won it but Obrador is contesting and is not conceding right now. Who will win? The corporate whores or the poor? We'll have to wait and see. It's going to be a very interesting few months in Mexico for sure. Huge protests in the streets? Yup, there will be lots of them.
