The Battle Hymn of the New Liberal Media: A Good Business Plan by Thom Hartmann OpEdNews.Com  A vast national right-wing echo chamber across the AM dial has propelled conservative Republican candidates into office, led us into two wars in two years, and succeeded in burying the high crimes and misdemeanors of the Bush administration while continuing to blame all things bad on Bill Clinton.

So Rush Just Wanted A “Rush”; Mainstream Media Fail to Challenge Limbaugh Spin On Illegal Drug Buys And Use by James Boyne OpEdNews.Com
The unfortunate poor, uneducated, ghetto drug addicts get 25 years in “real jail”. People in real, chronic, severe pain that are tormented for life are in their own “society imposed jail” with no way to escape. And Rush Limbaugh gets to become a celebrity for getting caught, and turning his high powered Public Relations lawyers loose with the proper spin on Rush’s pitiful dilemma.

Hey, Republicans!  Had Enough?  by Allen Snyder OpEdNews.Com

Shadow Boxing by Christopher Scott OpEdNews.com .  In boxing, it is said that, to beat the champ, you have to knock him out.  Democrats, independents, Greens, Libertarians, and Republicans with even a sliver of common sense and decency would do well to heed this adage.  Most importantly, they must recognize the need to take the absolute opposite approach in 2004, if they want to stand a chance.  To even lay a glove on the current titleholder is a costly mistake.

Rush Limbaugh May Teach Conservatives A Lesson by Thom Hartmann OpEdNews.Com

ARNOLD UNPLUGGED It's hasta la vista to $9 billion if the Governator is selected  by Greg Palast OpEdNews.com It's not what Arnold Schwarzenegger did to the girls a decade back that should raise an eyebrow.  According to a series of memoranda our office obtained today, it's his dalliance with the boys in a hotel room just two years ago that's the real scandal.

Republicans and Brits Will Count California's Recall Votes  by Lynn Landes  OpEdNews.com
The Face of the Enemy, The Face of my Friend by Patricia Ernest (Pissed Off Patricia) OpEdNews.Com "I knew that recently CBS had been accompanying some of our Florida National Guard who are serving in Iraq as they taped this segment and I also knew there was a slim possibility that I might get to see, within the program, my friend who has been away and serving in Iraq since January".
This Republican scheme won’t help fix our public schools Voucher Rip-Off in D.C. By Michele Bollinger, WTU OpEdNews.Com 
Moveon.org's Investigate the White House Petition tell Ashcroft to recuse himself for conflict of interest and appoint an independent prosecutor. Anything less would prove his lack of integrity.
Say no to the California recall and Schwarzenegger the Liar by Jackson Thoreau OpEdNews.Com Schwarzenegger said in his announcement on Jay Leno’s show that he would not accept special interest money and would be beholden to no one but “the people.” Then he turned around and raised millions from special business interests for his campaign, including from at least one company that violated environmental laws. He is just another lying, hypocritical Republican.
 
 
"Shallow Throat" Tells How Bush Can Be Defeated in 2004 -- And Who Can Do It By Bernard Weiner OpEdNews.Com

-- Teddy Roosevelt, 1918

Gandhi's Seven Root Causes
An East-West Dialectic Synthesis
Dr. Gerry Lower OpEdNews.Com In the Mosaic Decalogue, established to help the people maintain the societal status quo, there is not one word about how we ought behave, in the interest of justice and fairness or in the interest of spiritual maturation. That door has been left closed to allow the rich and powerful to hide and do unto others as they damned well pleased. The result of this approach has been to put control in the hands of the religious rich, at the expense of the people, a fact which motivated the American Revolution against the European church-states employing religious coercion to exploit the American colonies.

Frantically Spinning, Blind Whitehouse

The Little White Rooster Patricia Ernest, opednews.com Once upon a time there was a little white rooster who lived on a farm.  One day he gathered all the other animals around him and told them about a far away corn field that was run by a very nasty red rooster .  The little white rooster told the animals that he knew for a fact that the nasty red rooster was about to, at any minute, fly over the farm yard and drop all sorts of dangerous things that would harm all the animals.  Will you join with me and my flock of white pullets as we go to the corn field and kill the red rooster to prevent this tragedy?......

Political Deflection: The War in West Virginia Kellie Bean On the StairMaster at my local gym, a friend and I watch a gleaming bank of televisions, each tuned to a different station, all displaying identical images of Operation Iraqi Freedom: The Occupation. We live in a small, conservative university town in West Virginia, where I am often accused of being a feminazi, or, worse still, a liberal feminist. Still, I risk a comment on the cynicism of American foreign policy. My friend, a beautiful, hyper-fit, married mother of three scolds me: Its for our freedom…. Then, channeling Fox News, she repeats the familiar anesthetizing sound bite: the U.S. has liberated the Iraqi people from tyranny. The power of political deflection at work; we sweat in the amber glow of the latest Terrorism Alert.
