Thursday, March 1, 2007 Support Our Troops and Our Country: March on the Pentagon March 17th (1 comments)
We can send letters, send emails and make phone calls, but this is not nearly enough. As I write, brave citizens who recognize this reality are occupying congressional offices around the country, demanding an end to the war in Iraq, but this is only part of the strategy. We must also gather in unprecedented numbers on March 17th to give the cowards a daunting visual reminder of the order we gave them in November.
Monday, February 5, 2007 The Real Traitors (1 comments)
These are not the genuine claims of selfless patriots. They're the shameful tactics of desperate warmongers who don't seem to understand that no matter how many times a lie is told, it will never become the truth. What truly comforts the enemy is the callous willingness of leaders who have never known battle to send our fellow citizens into hell on earth, to serve as little more than human targets in their imperial shell game.
Friday, February 2, 2007 Democrats: A Paralyzed Majority (9 comments)
The new majority may not be silent, but what they're saying so far is dangerously worthless. Please - Spare me all the "politics takes time" bullshit. There is far too much at stake.
Monday, November 13, 2006 Cheney's Revenge (4 comments)
"Iran is still very much on the table just as America is still in danger of deteriorating into a militarized police state. Cheney's dream of global hegemony and absolute rule continues to move forward regardless of the elections' results. He remains committed to his original plan whatever the cost to the country in terms of blood and treasure. Do not underestimate Dick Cheney. He will stop at nothing..."
Sunday, November 12, 2006 The Bush Administration's Torture of U.S. Citizen Jose Padilla (3 comments)
Sickening details of the torture of Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen, on U.S. soil, in U.S. custody, under the direction of the President of the United States. Any member of our congress who condones this activity must be put up for Impeachment and criminal prosecution right along side the Bush crime family.
Wednesday, October 18, 2006 Will the mainstream media actually do their homework or continue to phone it in? (3 comments)
"If the study's findings are flawed, then its critics should demonstrate how and why. But no one should dismiss these shocking numbers without fully examining them. No one should want to."...but many seem to be doing just that. The same John Hopkins group had asked for an independent study of its similar survey in 2004, which also came in with a death toll well above other estimates. It never happened.
Sunday, October 15, 2006 Padilla Update: Bush Has Been Torturing American Citizens Since 2002 (3 comments)
The Padilla case proves that Bush was planning to overturn habeas corpus and institute a de-facto dictatorship from the very beginning...The government has no case and they know it. Padilla is merely the unwitting victim of a plan to discard the Bill of Rights and establish the supreme power of the presidency.
Sunday, October 15, 2006 New York Times/CBS Poll: Only 16% Believe "Official Story" of 9/11 (3 comments)
The next step is to use the majority opinion as leverage towards officially changing the record of what happened on 9/11, forcing the mainstream media into addressing the issue, not as a quirky news item, but as a serious re-defining of the state of the nation and the world today.
Saturday, October 7, 2006 Al Qaeda Tapes Lead Straight to the Pentagon (3 comments)
The origin of the latest video has been swept under the carpet by the mainstream media who bizarrely admit that the government has had the tape since late 2001 but still suggest it is a new release by Al Qaeda.
...in an NBC article, they admit that before receiving the "exclusive US analysis" of the London Sunday Times' tape, they had filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the same tape earlier this year.
Sunday, October 1, 2006 Bush's War on America (3 comments)
Because Bush can no longer reasonably depend on winning hearts and minds through persuasion, he's forced to take action against activities that threaten the tolerance and uncritical acceptance at home that his neoconservative foreign policy goals require. He must take action against people who spread dissent or watch helplessly as the entire house of cards implodes.
Thursday, September 21, 2006 STAND FIRM AGAINST TORTURE (3 comments)
The Pretender-in-Chief wants Congress to pass legislation that would authorize indefinite detention, unfair trials, and immunity for torture and cruel treatment. If we do not stand firm against this barbaric Bush regime, demanding no compromise whatsoever, we will be ringing the death knell for democracy. Is that okay with you?
Sunday, September 17, 2006 MUST WATCH VIDEO: Story of tortured innocents (3 comments)
"You are in a country with no laws. Do you know what this means? We can lock you up here for 20 years, or bury you, nobody would know."
If our Pretender-in-Chief does not condone torture, as you will hear him say in this video, WHY IS HE TRYING TO RETROACTIVELY LEGALIZE IT?! Please, all good and decent people of the world, we need to wake up, stand as one and act decisively NOW.
Sunday, August 27, 2006 New 9/11 Pics Add to WTC 7 Mystery (3 comments)
They say every picture tells a story. In the case of 9/11, there are many pictures; both moving and still, that also raise very troubling questions, especially for anybody who insists on clinging to the most wild of conspiracy theories that is the "official story" of that tragic day.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Republican leader Boehner rejects guest worker plan (3 comments)
House of Representatives Majority Leader John Boehner on Sunday rejected efforts to establish a guest worker program in the United States, despite calls from Bush to make provisions for millions of current illegal immigrants.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Croatia not told of US rendition flights: president (3 comments)
The United States, accused by Amnesty International of twice using Croatia as a stopover point for terrorism suspects, never informed the government about such landings, Croatia's president said on Saturday. "We wish to know why our territory is used, if it is used," Croatian President Stjepan Mesic told Reuters during a visit to San Francisco.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 John Dean: The President and Vice President Are Not In the Clear Yet (3 comments)
At a minimum, the filing indicates that the President and Vice President departed radically, and disturbingly, from long-set procedures with respect to classified documents - and that the Vice President, in particular, exceeded his declassification authority. And it may indicate that they, too, ought to be targets of the grand jury.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Bill Moyers: A CULTURE OF CORRUPTION (3 comments)
Money is choking our democracy to death. Our elections are bought out from under us and our public officials are doing the bidding of mercenaries. So powerful is the hold of wealth on politics that we cannot say America is working for all Americans. The majority may support such broad social goals as affordable medical coverage for all, decent wages for working people, safe working conditions, a secure retirement, and clean air and water, but there is no government "of, by, and for the people" to deliver on those aspirations.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Plenty of Opportunities to Impeach Bush (3 comments)
Paper says that during the month of March alone, Bush violated enough other laws to make impeachment proceedings possible. The piece says that, "to avoid writing a book," it was necessary to omit any violations of law committed before March 1, 2006, violations of humanitarian laws and negligence, and some of the prior laws to which there had not been additional information added.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 ItÂ’s time, actually well past time for Congress and the American people to say NO to the president and his latest poodle (3 comments)
NO, we wonÂ’t stand for any more lies or excuses for assuming powers not in constitutional evidence. And NO it is not acceptable to listen in on domestic phone calls or read domestic e-mails whenever you feel like it. Besides, the notion that commander-in-chiefdom bestows extraordinary, unrestricted, un-challengeable power on the president is unacceptable on its face.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Dowd: Royal Bushes (3 comments)
So the aide turns out to have been loyally following his leader's dictates, rather than going around the boss's back to peddle secret information.
Scooter is a "good Judas," as it turns out, just as Judas himself was, according to a 1,700-year-old Christian manuscript found in the Egyptian desert that asserts that Jesus wanted Judas to betray him, so he entrusted his disciple with special intelligence.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 The Danger of Hugo Chávez's Successful Socialism (3 comments)
Eighty-two percent of Venezuelans think Chávez is doing a good job. That's more than twice the approval rating by Americans of Bush. He roundly defeated an attempt to recall him. So why is Washington lecturing Caracas?
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Bush GOP Drug Plan's Side Effect Is Severe (3 comments)
As a result of the new Medicare drug program, thousands of people who take pills to fight cancer have suddenly found themselves with new bills to pay for their essential medicines
Sunday, April 9, 2006 A Liberal is a Conservative Who Got a Foreclosure Notice (3 comments)
Remember the old law-and-order political sally: A conservative is a liberal who got mugged. Maybe there will be a new version. At least one conservative business analyst is warning his political compatriots that their middle class base may melt away when homeowners begin to experience the coming housing crash. Andrew LaPerriere sounds the alarm in the most recent Weekly Standard, telling conservatives to get some answers ready for the people who are going to lose their homes.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 George Bush: A Slam Dunk Liar (3 comments)
Up to this point the Bush apologists tried to argue he did not lie, but was simply reporting what the intelligence community was telling him. Now we know--HE LIED. The White House and Republican National Committee spin has been exposed now as a bald face lie.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Bald Eagle Tends to Nest As Single Dad (3 comments)
Within earshot of traffic roaring along the Capital Beltway, a suddenly single dad is waging a quiet struggle to save his offspring — a nest of bald eagle eggs on the verge of hatching.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Republican woes in Congress boost Democratic hopes (3 comments)
Collapse of vital budget legislation and a big setback on an immigration overhaul have played into Democrats' election-year plans to paint Republicans as too incompetent to run the U.S. Congress. Amen.

Sunday, April 9, 2006 Video Flashback: Leaker-In-Chief Condemns Leaks (3 comments)
Bush – publicly and repeatedly – condemned the leaking of classified information. He also pretended to have no idea who might be responsible for leaking classified information to discredit Joe Wilson. Watch the video from October 2003: Lying pig!!!!
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Greg Palast: Gangster Government -- A Leaky President Runs Afoul of "Little Rico" (3 comments)
OK, let's accept the White House alibi that releasing Plame's identity was no crime. But if that's true, they've committed a bigger crime: Bush and Cheney knowingly withheld vital information from a grand jury investigation, a multimillion dollar inquiry the perps themselves authorized. That's akin to calling in a false fire alarm or calling the cops for a burglary that never happened -- but far, far worse. Let's not forget that in the hunt for the perpetrator of this non-crime, reporter Judith Miller went to jail.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 Mental patient charged with threatening to cut Bush's penis off (3 comments)
A federal grand jury this week indicted Nijmeh, 26, of 1000 Royal Heights Road, Apt. 5, on two counts of threatening the president, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years.
Legal experts said authorities may have trouble making the charges stick, though.
Sunday, April 9, 2006 NASCAR Furious With NBC Over 'Dateline' Segment (3 comments)
American stock car racing's governing body called a network television news magazine "outrageous" on Wednesday, saying it tried to provoke anti-Muslim reactions from spectators at last week's race for a story about growing U.S. sentiment against Islam.
Monday, February 27, 2006 Where Are the Good Americans? (3 comments)
When the day comes for America to be judged for its war on terror and the human rights crimes that have been done in the name of its citizens, who can say they stood up and said no?
