Rush Limbaugh confesses he has no confidence in his beliefs
(10 comments) Rush Limbaugh says that he will not give up until every American agrees with him. He's known all along that his hard-right, conservative ideology is not founded on the truth, the facts, logic, reason or evidence. His fear is that of all ideologues, that just one dissent containing truth, reason and evidence will expose him and destroy his whole foundationless empire of unreason.

The interests of justice require that we postpone the 2008 election
(1 comments) The interests of justice require that we impeach, remove from office, indict, charge, try, convict and hang George Bush and Dick Cheney for their crimes while they are in office. They must be made to suffer the humiliation of being removed from office and hung, according to law. Six months ain't gonna do it.

Appeals court introduces the word feared by George Bush

Looking, Hoping, Wishing for an Advantage
The Republican McCain campaign, using a deniable stalking horse, has let it be known that another terrorist attack before the election would be to McCain's advantage. Since we're always grateful to those who give us an advantage, who will McCain be grateful to should he realize his delusion that another terrorist attack is to his advantage?

Reciprocating SOFAs, or the logic of Iraqi troops in the US
(1 comments) George Bush says that Iraq is a sovereign, free and democratic country, just like the United States. Yet, he will only deal with the newest and one of the smallest countries in the world, The country of The Green Zone, located, of all places, in the middle of Baghdad, Iraq.

Are you tired of being called "liberal" by Republicans when they mean "sonofabitch"?
(29 comments) Rob Kall published a GOP diatribe here on June 4, where the Republicans say that liberals elected Obama. As Dick Cheney so eloquently put it, "So?" Rob presciently predicts that, "The GOP will be calling him liberal and vilifying his supporters." How come it is that Republicans equate the word "liberal" with the most vile obscenities, but liberals refrain from attaching that connotation to the word, "conservative"?

Drafting as a way to avoid getting psychopaths like Bush
(4 comments) The June 2 article by Dr. Kevin Barrett and Silvia Cattori, Is George Bush A Psychopath? explains a lot more than just the answer to that question. It explains how we have allowed psychopaths to take over our government. The prevention of that will require some very drastic changes.

Is Scotty's book another false flag operation?
The White House had a month to look over Scotty's book about Bush's transgressions and let it go forward. They saw no threat there, and, saw an opportunity. Scotty's book has created a quite different effect than presumed. An effect so obvious no one has noticed it. It's an effect expressed by Oscar Wilde: "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

How do you like having your intelligence insulted by Scott McClellan?
(15 comments) I'm so goddam mad I could bite a nail in two. Scott McClellan's belated epiphany about the manipulation and distortion of the truth and the outright lies about the reasons for Bush's Iraq war is an insult to the intelligence of those who read and write for OEN. Scotty, in his ignorance of the fact that we knew all the while everything that he has just now figured out, presumes to preach to us about what we alrady knew.

When the talk of assassination becomes acceptable, can the act of assassination be far behind?
(2 comments) Hillary Clinton's remarks about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy in June as a reason to stay in the race until then is a passive reference to the possibility of an assassination eliminating her competition. Liz Trotta's remarks aabout Obama is an active statement that she, literally, would if she could, assassinate Obama. Clinton's remarks are in extremely bad taste. Trotta's are criminally actionable.

Obama's perceived inexperience is his best qualification.

May this house be safe from tigers
I have an engraved sign on my mantle I had made that says, "May this house be safe from tigers." Its message is the operating principle of the political and religious leaders of the world. Three examples of that principle in operation are George Bush and the preachers Hagee and Wright. It works as well for me as it does for them. I've never been bothered by tigers and they've never been bothered by ethics, morals or doubt.

If you're reading this, George Bush has reserved a bunk for you in one of his detention camps.

The way to hit back even harder
(9 comments) Rob Kall, in his article, Time to Hit Back Harder, makes the point that we must do everything possible to refute the right-wing, Republican propaganda, by making the counter argument of the truth. There's a way to hit them even harder, by pointing out the truth about the right-wing Republicans, themselves, instead of the falsehood of their propaganda.

Textbook descriptions of George Bush reveal psychopathy, and much worse.
(6 comments) The research of Dr. Hervey Cleckley and Dr. Robert Hare exploring the personality and character traits of psychopaths, when applied to George Bush, shows that Bush fits exactly the profile they developed for the psychopath. Demographics show that Republicanism is much worse than psychopathy.

This is outrageous! A Supreme Court judge actively advocating violating the law.
(1 comments) We've come to a sorry state of affairs when a Supreme Court judge knows less about the law than us plain, ordinary folks. Scalia's approval of torture, for any reason, is in violation of the Geneva Convention, which the United States is a signatory to and is the law of the land.

A three in three chance for another Bush
(3 comments) At the very heart of the matter and the cause of our country's failure with George Bush and his Iraq war is the fact that he illegally assumed the position of commander in chief and his power to declare war. Both assumptions are unconstitutional. All three candidates are doing exactly the same thing George Bush did, and they're not even president, yet.

What it takes to be president
(5 comments) Leonard Pitts wrote an article in the Miami Herald with the same title I've used for this article. It turns out that all it takes to be president is the ability to read at the 11th grad vocabulary level.

Using jargon to deceive, for fun and profit
Two excellent articles in the New York Times about the responsibiity of the guys in the financial markets who ruined their companies bring to light the jargon they used to deceive and to obscure their greed. They used jargon to try to turn a cow patty into a bold brick.

It can't happen here? Its happening here right now.
The question raised and the points made in William Cormier's article will not get the attention it deserves. It should be read by everyone in the United States.

Five years too late, Congress remembers the Constitution.
(3 comments) Do you remember this headline from March of 2003? Bush Plan for Iraq Would Be a First. No OK From Congress Seen; Constitutional Issues Raised. No? Don't remember that? That's because its dated Friday, January 25, 2008, from the Boston Globe.

The origin of the phenomenon of Conservatism/libertarianism.
(8 comments) Rob Kall's article, Bio-Politics; Nature vs Globalism, Conservatism and Libertarianism, makes the point that biological organisms live in an interconnected, interdependent world, and, asks if there are any laws of nature or biology we can think of, presumably to account for the inhuman phenomenon of Conservatism/libertarism. There is a law of nature that accounts for this. Its a genetic throwback called deviancy.

Jane Harman's bill provides that we can be investigated for demonstrating in support of the Constitution.

We're dealing with the bloody entrails instead of the bomber.
(1 comments) When everything that the Bush/Republicans do is completely, totally outrageous, we're left with nowhere to grab hold of anything more outrageous than anything else. When everything is outrageous is anything outrageous? We neet to give up dealing with the acts and focus on the actor.

Contempt of Congress.
(2 comments) John Conyers sent me an email explaining how important it is for the House of Representatives to cite the White House with a contempt of Congress resolution. Conyers is unaware that, even if he could, which is doubtful, passing a contempt resolution has exactly the same effect as doing nothing at all.

Due diligence.
George Bush's Department of Defense says that the reason that seven months after it was revealed that they have done little or nothing to end the nightmare conditions for wounded veterans of the Iraq war is that they are exercising "due diligence." Had the Pentagon actually exercised due diligence, there would be no dead or wounded veterans.

If George Bush had to get a warrant, would it make any difference?
George Bush got permission from Congress to listen in on our conversations without a warrant. He can listen to exactly the same conversations with a warrant. So, what's the difference? Just what protection does a warrant provide us? As it turns out by reading the Fourth Amendment, none at all.

Exploiting ignorance for fun and profit.
There's a great hue and cry that the Wall Street Journal will be perverted to reflect Rupert Murdoch's brand of slimy, sleazy, right-wing ideology. Nothing will change. The WSJ is already a perverted, slimy, sleazy, right-wing spin machine, always has been. Murdoch's ideology isn't focused on the joys of being right-wing; it's focused on making money by exploiting ignorance for profit. The same as the Wall Street Journal.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Bush
George Bush has set the all time, world record, standard for hypocrisy. While being adamantly opposed to "government-run health care," he at the same time benefits by using the very same government-run health care for himself that he says he so despises and wants to prevent us from having.

Why is Nancy Pelosi afraid to take on George Bush?

From Nazism to Neo-cons to Bushism
(1 comments) Nazism has not only survived but has flourished in the Neo-con think tanks. Brought directly to the United States from the glory days of Nazism in Germany by a student of the Nazi philosophers. A quite revolution has taken place, encouraged by the media. Bushism/Nazism has taken hold of our government and is gaining strength with the defiant, mindless support of Bush by about one-fourth of the population.

The truth is the toughest talk.
(4 comments) We need more tough talking speakers on the left. Our toughest talk is telling nothing but the truth. The truth about Bush and his administration is so appallingly outrageous that we're left with nowhere else to turn for anything more outrageous. There is nothing more outrageous than the truth about the Bush administration. Absolutely nothing.

Republicans aren't the only reason we have the inexplicable phenomenon of the George Bush presidency.
(12 comments) There are reasons other than Republicans for why George Bush is the all-time, worst and most hated President in US history. They are ennui, boredom, lack of interest.

Do we really have a democracy?
(5 comments) From looking at the evidence, we no longer have a democracy... I will not allow a Republican in my presence. When confronted with lying, spinning Republicans who support Bush's crimes, I naturally become livid with rage and go into a bug-eyed, purple-faced, spit-spattering, screaming fit, pounding on the table and yelling and hollering until they're out of sight.

Placing George Bush on the ten worst presidents list is a mistake
(1 comments) Saying that George Bush is the number one worst president, ever, gives him way too much credit. It implies that he is, somehow, presidential, which he has demonstrated he is not. It elevates him to a category he does not deserve by comparing him to others who actually were presidents.
