Ed Martin is an ordinary person who is recovering from being badly over-educated. Born in the middle of the Great Depression, he is not affiliated with nor a member of any political, social or religious organization. He is especially interested in the phenomenon of those who view the glaringly obvious with total incomprehension, in other words, out political, social and religious leaders.
SHARE Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Whether it's McCain or Obama, it's a win-win for Republicans
Considering the natural hypocrisy of the Republicans, it doesn't matter to them who wins the presidential election. With their ability to distort everything as being good for Republicans, an Obama win can be made into the best thing that ever happened to them, just as a McCain win will be.

Just think how different things would be if George Bush had gotten a blowjob. Let's compare mass murder to blowjobs as seen from the viewpoint of the Republicans and the viewpoint of the rest of us.

A group of candidates for office have proposed A Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq. The plan proposes, unnecessarily, Restoring our Constitution instead of prosecuting the criminals who have violated it.
SHARE Friday, September 28, 2007 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.

You hear all the time that prices are going to change, they're going to go up or down, or that they have already done so. I looked into it. Prices don't change. They don't go up or down. Here's the proof.
SHARE Tuesday, July 1, 2008 Appeals court introduces the word feared by George Bush
The word we've all been waiting for and expecting to be applied to the Bush administration as the bare minimum to use as the basis for making decisions to kill a whole bunch of innocent people has been introduced by a court of justice, the word dreaded, feared and ignored by George Bush: EVIDENCE.

It's ironic that we could actually have another Judgment at Nuremberg with the roles reversed. This time, it would be the Germans sitting in judgment on the United States judges and lawyers who are aiding and abetting creeping Bushism.
(1 comments) SHARE Monday, October 8, 2007 We're dealing with the bloody entrails instead of the bomber.
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.
SHARE Friday, June 27, 2008 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?

SHARE Friday, July 11, 2008 When Crime is Presented as "Victory"
Two newspapers portray George Bush's getting approval from Congress to continue his ongoing criminal enterprise as a "Victory." Even though Congress' approval of Bush's crimes does not prevent them from being crimes, the danger is that people who read these papers will think that when the crimes are presented as victory, they are not crimes.

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.
