From Bush Wars to World War 3

I had been meaning to do this pretty much since I made this blog. Sometimes you just don't get around to all the things you mean to. This one I finally did. It only took me a shade over a year to get around to it but traffic is low anyway so a rush wasn't really needed. I forgot to mention the 1 year anniversary of this blog in my last post (I can tend to get wordy ...). Speaking of wordy time to spit this out and get on with it! I finally got around to making an email account for the site. I can now be reached at:

dontreadthiscrap@gmail.com

Feel free to send anything you want (sigh yes even hate mail but only if you can reed and rite gude inglish).

Now on to what I really wanted to point out. Did anyone happen to notice Herr Bush mention WWIII today? Of course, it was a fear mongering tactic and not an honest admission of his agenda apparent. It won't be Iran who starts WWIII. I fear what Bush might do next, Iran not so much.

Another point I have been wondering to myself lately is will there be ANY Republican incumbents left by election day? Not that I'm going to miss a single one of their corrupt personages I must add. It is interesting though how many are retiring this year. It's almost like they know they killed the golden goose. They have had their run at the treasury and gave it their all. This doesn't mean there won't be another class of corrupt conservatives following right behind them. Just that it will be harder now to steal so much so fast. Some day we will reach the point where we won't have anything left to steal. Some people serve their country these "people" served their country up - to the highest bidders.

Keep writing! Editorials, your Federal, State and Local government, commenting online, blogging, whatever you can do to make more see the truth. Inaction is doing exactly what they want you to!

Good ole hypocrisy

There's nothing quite like the unabashed hypocrisy of the politicos today - most notably within the Republican party but certainly not absent within the Dems.

I just popped on today in the midst of my studies to post a couple links that you may be interested in.

The first is a heaping dose of hypocrisy:

http://www.therealdemocratstory.com/blog/comment.cfm?entry_id=225

The above link is to the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee). These lousy excuses for human beings are "Rush"ing to the aid of one of their prophets. I can only hope that the more these parasites show themselves for what they are the more their supporters will wake the fuck up.

On that note comes my next link(s) - this link I found through RRMB http://forums.therandirhodesshow.com/index.php and is quite humorous. It is the blog for some recovering republicans and the post itself is an analysis of what is happening to the Republican Party.
Of course they think that the party is sliding due to King George and dream of a return to Reagan. Maybe someday they will see the slide from a more enlightened position. That the party has been "sliding" towards their fascist ideology for much longer. It has reared it's head in every Republican administration since Nixon and probably for far longer. Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr, and the whole slew of their operatives have been bringing us to where we are now - intentionally. This has long been the goal of Republican party - domination by any means of all political enemies. Anyway here's the link :

http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=8799

And finally, I would like to put up a link for a blog that I have been enjoying for a few months now. It is published by a man with a keen sense for the bullshit of America today and a "mouth" that may even make Dr. Ruth blush. I have given up many sites since August due to giving my education my full attention - but this one I still frequent. It was through this blog that I found the NRCC site... :

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

Finally, I apologize for the lack of activity here on my blog. I have recently returned to school and this semester is brutal (CCNA YAY!). I have found precious little time for much else besides a little activism and a little fishing. Further, some of the topics that I feel haven't in the past been getting the exposure they need are finding their way to the MSM - like the recent Blackwater fiasco. The others issues that aren't getting the exposure will have to suffice with what I have already posted.

Hope to see ya all soon!

America is #1 ... in being a Police State

The U.S. Police State

According to the Bureau of Justice http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/prisons.htm

“On June 30, 2006--
-- 2,245,189 prisoners were held in Federal or State prisons or in local jails -- an increase of 2.8% from midyear 2005, less than the average annual growth of 3.4% since yearend 1995.
-- there were an estimated 497 prison inmates per 100,000 U.S. residents -- up from 411 at yearend 1995. “


While we are at it lets make a point about making facts lie -
this was published about June 30, 2006. If we are to believe the Bureau's number of 497 inmates per 100,000 our population at the time would be almost 452 Million.

X = Prison Population
Y = U.S. Population
Z = Percent of Population in Prison

X / Y = Z

2,245,189 / Y = 0.00497 [497 per 100,000]

2,245,189 = 0.00497 x Z [0.00497z]

Z = 451,748,289

However, The U.S. Census Bureau made this release on October 12, 2006 claiming only 300 Million.

http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/population/007616.html

In reality we come out FAR worse than their stat suggests.

2,245,189 / 300,000,000 = 0.00748 [748 per 100,000]

Yes, we have nearly 1% of our population in prison. That doesn’t include people on probation or parole. That number was a striking 7 million in the U.S. at the end of 2005 according to the Justice Department [via The Washington Post]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/30/AR2006113000912.html

Let’s take a look at the numbers according to The International Centre for Prison Studies.

http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/rel/icps/worldbrief/highest_to_lowest_rates.php

This study works with populations in prison as of December 2005.

China had 1,548,498 – 2,500,000 depending on what you include as prison. Let’s take the whole ball of wax and say 2.5M. That puts China at 189 per 100,000 people incarcerated.

At that time we had 2,193,798 prisoners. This put us at 737 per 100,000 people. Meaning per capita we have over 4 times more prisoners.

I think it is time we start a little reality based reality in this nation. Pull our heads out of our asses and look around us. This is not the America of our forefathers. This is America in the grasp of an insidious fascist revolution.

Our forefathers saw this as a possible outcome and gave us the means to fight back.

Will we?

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you...

I have posted a link to this blog before. This piece is a candid, raw look at what American tax dollars are buying, what the Bush misadministration is peddling, and what American disinterest is supporting.

What will it take to get some action out of the masses?

Hey America Is It Enough Yet?

When is enough going to be enough? Apparently we won't step up to the plate until it's our ass on it.

So is impeachment "a waste of time" for small cabal in Washington upholding the atrocities done in our name?

How can this be justified to the members of congress opposed to impeachment (most of them)? Does it take them on the waterboard?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20430153/

Men and women like these deserve to be forcibly moved to a nice neighborhood in Falluja - sans weapons, guards, money, food, water, or clothes. What possible punishment could fit their crimes? Certainly none we allow here. Yet we torture those who are part of the solution rather than punish those who are the problem.

America - Lord of the Flies on a really big island.

B

Free Money!

Well it looks as if Bush has brought the American Dream to reality for some. Namely the contractors, corruptors, and cronies.

The Bush Wars, as I have stated before, are more about redistribution of national wealth than stealing oil, spreading "Democracy", or liberation of oppressed peoples. True Iraq has trillions of $ worth of oil reserves but this isn't going to make hand picked individuals nearly as rich as billions of unwatched dollars flowing freely on the banks of the Euphrates. See the oil requires we build infrastructure, protect it, and sell it - then of course those pesky Iraqis will want some of their money. Further this would most likely fall under some sort of oversight - where as contracting can be literally "money for nothin" with noone watching. Also, Bush would be unable to control who got their filthy hands on the bloody Iraqi oil funds - not so with contracting - these he hand picks. This is a way to empty the U.S. treasury for decades to come and hand it all to a few Bush/Neocon/Republican faithfuls.

Another point this article brings up is - of all the media in the nation isn't it telling that the alternative media are the folks actually discussing the real issues? Rolling Stone, The Colbert Report, John Stewart, blogs, independent websites, etc. Has this nation entirely flipped it's lid? The air waves belong to the nation not the channels. We should take em back if they are not used as intended - and if this is as intended we need to retool the FCC rules. Revoke all of Fox's air wave access and let them "fair and balanced" all they want online or in print. The same goes for all other propaganda organizations. Why is there no standard for facts anymore? Why is there no way to hold T.V. News to a standard based on factual reporting? [I won't even get into why are Americans so fucking stupid to watch this shit and believe it.]

Anyway I digress, here is an article outlining some of the parts of Grand Theft: National Treasury.

Petitions for Censure and Ending the Iraq War

Well, I know that petitions have a fairly negligible effect on the political landscape of today. That said though these are extremely easy and will take a couple minutes with the added bonus that they are actually petitions started by the politicos (so at least a couple want to know). If your interested here are the links to Progressive Patriot Fund's website:

Censure (ya it's not impeachment and it most certainly isn't what they deserve - is there such a punishment available?):

http://ga1.org/campaign/censure07?source=web_censure07

Ending Funding for the Iraq Debacle

http://ga1.org/campaign/iraq0407/

If there is no start how can there be an end? If we keep trying to bring sanity to the foreground we may eventually find that "start" so we can finally end this drive to fascism and the control by the fewer and fewer. I could never have imagined this nation falling so complacently into what it has become so swiftly. Perhaps this will be the greatest test faced yet by this nation and the ideals it used to hold dear. Time will tell as it always does.


B

Doing the Right Thing? Propaganda continues...

Now I'm not sure if you all know who Oliver North is. Well he has been many things. He illegally sold arms to terrorists (real hostage taking, plane blowing up, Hezbollah linked terrorists). He was implicated in drug dealings. He did his damnedest to overthrow a sovereign government. He gave material funds to the Nicaraguan Contras (themselves a quasi terrorist organization).

Well this scumbag who has somehow evaded a just punishment (that NEVER happens in Washington) now writes to tell us how to do the right thing? Here is a link to his article on townhall (propaganda central).

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/OliverNorth/2007/08/10/doing_the_right_thing?page=full&comments=true

His assertations are ridiculous in the extreme. He doesn't mess around either his very first sentance tells us what we are in for.

"For three years, politicians and pundits have been challenging the president's policy of spreading democracy around the world."

There's objective reporting for ya. It doesn't get better. Funny that a guy who tried to overthrow an elected government himself is now championing Bush's drive for "Democracy". This guy is a Death Squad Democracy proponent...Democracy at the business end of M-16 (and nevermind the reasoning just do it!).

Also, if the MSM is so "Liberal" how does a scumbag like Ollie get a job within it?

Hey Ollie "Do the Right Thing" and admit your crimes against the Nation, turn yourself in, serve your time, and face the music.

The New Preamble of the Constitution

We, the creditors of The Corporate States of the Americas, in order to form a more perfect Corporation, establish Profit, insure Corporate Sustainability, provide for the Consumers Demands, promote the general Economy, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to the CEOs and their Posteriors, do ordain and establish this Incorporation of the The Corporate States of the Americas.


I fear we are undone.

We have allowed far to much to happen behind closed doors, by people who should most likely be Federal detainees rather than Federal employees.

We have allowed private industry to infiltrate our government through appointments. The more these appointments became normal, even praised the more we allowed to infiltrate. Inevitably infiltration unchecked becomes saturation. All that remains after saturation is allowing private industry to outright supplant our government. This is happening now at break neck speed - the pretty shiny term for this... privatization. What cannot be privatized is neutralized - or worse saturated. From the Supreme Court to Election Officials to Presidential Advisors (Cabinet) to the VP himself. Saturated. A conflict of interest to these people means a conflict with THEIR interests.

I fear there is no way to reclaim that which has been stolen, raped, pillaged, destroyed, polluted, or otherwise lost.
Not to say there is NO way but more so that the way will not be followed.

The people of this nation will NEVER reclaim their government without revolution. I have watched as politicos come and go, promising, lying, grandstanding, and worse. None of this has had any impact on the implementation of the fascism in the Americas. Expecting any change in this trend is silly at best. Further, I do not see any sort of revolution fomenting within the populations of this land. [Before I'm labeled as a nutcase, commie, libtard, gun nut, or worse a criminal let me clarify something. Revolution (despite the word being used to describe one of those wars some teacher droned on about when you were growing up) does not always need to be violent.]

Make no mistake a revolution is coming. Though I fear it will be a fascist one, the fascist roots are already entrenched. One in which mercenary armies will enjoy a natural legitimization. Where their use will be widespread and above accountability. Where workforces are further enslaved, rights are non-existant for the masses, ruthless enforcement in the name of security is commonplace, further media control leads to even more engineered infotainment, speech is curtailed, and far far worse - war is constant. Sounds pretty close to what we have now but this is but a taste.

We MUST turn back immediately. We must reign in our government, enforce the rule of law, strengthen the laws, fix the Constitution, reestablish effective control over industry, end the war on drugs, find ways to control immigration, outlaw mercenaries, kill privatization, kill self-regulation, make the new government as transparent as is possible, re-establish our military, establish corporate accountability, remove religion from government, end lobbyism, establish a far stronger state government policy while reducing Federal powers, establish a strong Federal system of referenda, establish accountability in government, balance the budgets, end the Federal Reserve, in short bring sanity to the nation. Daunting task. Are we as American's up to it?

Perhaps, corporate fuedalism will be fully realized in our lifetimes. Or worse yet corporate war lords? Maybe even a form of corporate communism. Don't laugh I could see the implementation of any of these. Corporations are very near communism in their economics and almost identical to fuedal or war lords in absolute power(within their organizations). All seem pretty bleak to me. They are all pretty much shades of each other. Allowing the wealth of an individual to eclipse the wealth of entire segments of the population or corporate economies to dwarf many national economies can lead nowhere healthy for a population of people as a whole.

For far to long individual rights to wealth have been illogical at best - grotesque more honestly. Whereas taxes could be used to curtail these problems this nation does the opposite and taxes everyone but the wealthy get the breaks. Then to further support the wealthy the government enacts insane legislation to basically redistribute the wealth of the nation....upwards. This is achieved through all sorts of lovely scams. Subsidies, contractors, privatization, foreign aid, issuing currency, military and intel budgets, and the list goes on.

Will we become The Corporate States of the Americas? Are we already? Your welcome to post your opinions in the comments section.

Well, enough rant for this morning. Have a good one!

4th of July - Anti-Federalist Cato 5

Well, I have been waiting to post this for a lil while now. I felt today the perfect day to do so. I had originally started out emboldening the passages I found to be most interesting -- I soon found that I would have to embolden the whole piece so I removed my edits entirely.

This is one of the "Anti-Federalist Papers". Written by "Cato" who most speculate was actually George Clinton the Gov. of NY at the time. For those of you who are not familiar with the Anti-Federalists Papers and the Federalist Papers they were articles written either pro or con(anti-fed) regarding the newly proposed Constitution. I find both sets to be very enlightening with regards to the reasoning behind the Constitution -- and the arguments against. This particular paper is very persuassive when viewed under the light of the current state of our Federal government.
So much so, it is nearly prophetic.

So...here is my tribute to liberty.

[quoted in entirety from: http://www.constitution.org/afp/cato_05.htm ]

"Cato"

Letter V

The New-York Journal, November 22, 1787

To the Citizens of the State of New York.

In my last number I endeavored to prove that the language of the article relative to the establishment of the executive of this new government was vague and inexplicit, that the great powers of the President, connected with his duration in office would lead to oppression and ruin. That he would be governed by favorites and flatterers, or that a dangerous council would be collected from the great officers of state, -- that the ten miles square, if the remarks of one of the wisest men, drawn from the experience of mankind, may be credited, would be the asylum of the base, idle, avaricious and ambitious, and that the court would possess a language and manners different from yours; that a vice president is as unnecessary, as he is dangerous in his influence -- that the president cannot represent you because he is not of your own immediate choice, that if you adopt this government, you will incline to an arbitrary and odious aristocracy or monarchy the that the president possessed of the power, given him by this frame of government differs but very immaterially from the establishment of monarchy in Great Britain, and I warned you to beware of the fallacious resemblance that is held out to you by the advocates of this new system between it and your own state governments.

And here I cannot help remarking, that inexplicitness seems to pervade this whole political fabric: certainty in political compacts, which Mr. Coke calls the mother and nurse of repose and quietness, the want of which induced men to engage in political society, has ever been held by a wise and free people as essential to their security; as, on the one hand it fixes barriers which the ambitious and tyrannically disposed magistrate dare not overleap, and on the other, becomes a wall of safety to the community -- otherwise stipulations between the governors and governed are nugatory; and you might as well deposit the important powers of legislation and execution in one or a few and permit them to govern according to their disposition and will; but the world is too full of examples, which prove that to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery. Before the existence of express political compacts it was reasonably implied that the magistrate should govern with wisdom and Justice, but mere implication was too feeble to restrain the unbridled ambition of a bad man, or afford security against negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind. It is alledged that the opinions and manners of the people of America, are capable to resist and prevent an extension of prerogative or oppression; but you must recollect that opinion and manners are mutable, and may not always be a permanent obstruction against the encroachments of government; that the progress of a commercial society begets luxury, the parent of inequality, the foe to virtue, and the enemy to restraint; and that ambition and voluptuousness aided by flattery, will teach magistrates, where limits are not explicitly fixed to have separate and distinct interests from the people, besides it will not be denied that government assimilates the manners and opinions of the community to it. Therefore, a general presumption that rulers will govern well is not a sufficient security. -- You are then under a sacred obligation to provide for the safety of your posterity, and would you now basely desert their interests, when by a small share of prudence you may transmit to them a beautiful political patrimony, that will prevent the necessity of their travelling through seas of blood to obtain that, which your wisdom might have secured: -- It is a duty you owe likewise to your own reputation, for you have a great name to lose; you are characterised as cautious, prudent and jealous in politics; whence is it therefore, that you are about to precipitate yourselves into a sea of uncertainty, and adopt a system so vague, and which has discarded so many of your valuable rights. -- Is it because you do not believe that an American can be a tyrant? If this be the case you rest on a weak basis; Americans are like other men in similar situations, when the manners and opinions of the community are changed by the causes I mentioned before, and your political compact inexplicit, your posterity will find that great power connected with ambition, luxury, and flattery, will as readily produce a Caesar, Caligula, Nero, and Domitian in America, as the same causes did in the Roman empire.

But the next thing to be considered in conformity to my plan, is the first article of this new government, which comprises the erection of the house of representatives and senate, and prescribes their various powers and objects of legislation. The most general objections to the first article, are that biennial elections for representatives are a departure from the safe democratical principles- of annual ones -- that the number of representatives are too few; that the apportionment and principles of increase are unjust; that no attention has been paid to either the numbers or property in each state in forming the senate; that the mode in which they are appointed and their duration, will lead to the establishment of an aristocracy; that the senate and president are improperly connected, both as to appointments, and the making of treaties, which are to become the supreme law of the land; that the judicial in some measure, to-wit, as to the trial of impeachments, is placed in the senate, a branch of the legislative, and some times a branch of the executive: that Congress have the improper power of making or altering the regulations prescribed by the different legislatures, respecting the time, place, and manner of holding elections for representatives, and the time and manner of choosing senators; that standing armies may be established, and appropriation of money made for their support for two years; that the militia of the most remote state may be marched into those states situated at the opposite extreme of this continent; that the slave trade is, to all intents and purposes permanently established; and a slavish capitation, or poll-tax, may at any time be levied -- these are some of the many evils that will attend the adoption of this government.

But with respect to the first objection, it may be remarked that a well digested democracy has this advantage over all others, to wit, that it affords to many the opportunity to be advanced to the supreme command, and the honors they thereby enjoy fill them with a desire of rendering themselves worthy of them; hence this desire becomes part of their education, is matured m manhood, and produces an ardent affection for their country, and it is the opinion of the great Sidney, and Montesquieu that this is in a great measure produced by annual election of magistrates.

If annual elections were to exist in this government, and learning and information to become more prevalent, you never will want men to execute whatever you could design -- Sidney observes "that a well governed state is as fruitful to all good purposes as the seven headed serpent is said to have been in evil; when one head is cut off, many rise up in the place of it." He remarks further, that "it was also thought, that free cities by frequent elections of magistrates became nurseries of great and able men, every man endeavoring to excel others, that he might be advanced to the honor he had no other title to, than what might arise from his merit, or reputation," but the framers of this perfect government, as it is called, have departed from this democratical principle, and established bi-ennial elections for the house of representatives, who are to be chosen by the people, and sextennial for the senate, who are to be chosen by the legislatures of the different states, and have given to the executive the unprecedented power of making temporary senators, in case of vacancies, by resignation or otherwise, and so far forth establishing a precedent for virtual representation (though in fact their original appointment is virtual) thereby influencing the choice of the legislatures, or if they should not be so complaisant as to conform to his appointment -- offence will be given to the executive and the temporary members will appear ridiculous by rejection; this temporary member, during his time of appointment, will of course act by a power derived from the executive, and for, and under his immediate influence.

It is a very important objection to this government, that the representation consists of so few; too few to resist the influence of corruption, and the temptation to treachery, against which all governments ought to take precautions -- how guarded you have been on this head, in your own state constitution, and yet the number of senators and representatives proposed for this vast continent, does not equal those of your own state; how great the disparity, if you compare them with the aggregate numbers in the United States. The history of representation in England, from which we have taken our model of legislation, is briefly this: before the institution of legislating by deputies, the whole free part of the community usually met for that purpose; when this became impossible by the increase of numbers the community was divided into districts, from each of which was sent such a number of deputies as was a complete representation of the various numbers and orders of citizens within them; but can it be asserted with truth, that six men can be a complete and full representation of the numbers and various orders of the people in this state? Another thing [that] may be suggested against the small number of representatives is, that but few of you will have the chance of sharing even in this branch of the legislature; and that the choice will be confined to a very few; the more complete it is, the better will your interests be preserved, and the greater the opportunity you will have to participate in government, one of the principal securities of a free people; but this subject has been so ably and fully treated by a writer under the signature of Brutus, that I shall content myself with referring you to him thereon, reserving further observations on the other objections I have mentioned, for my future numbers.

For instance...Impeachment Letter to Reps

"Good day Mr. Petri. I am contacting you today on the eve of our July 4th holiday to ask you to remember the constitution. Remember the rule of law - for without it government is nothing more than organized crime. Remember the sacrifices of our armed service members today and through out our history.

You see, the Founding Fathers were fairly advanced politically for their time. They understood the ramifications of the actions they set into motion all those decades ago. They foresaw a future when the government would no longer remember the rule of law. No longer value the sacrifices of patriots. And worst of all, no longer value the rights of the citizens or the basic human rights of man. They foresaw a future when the executive branch would overreach their constitutional boundaries. A future when the constitution itself would come under attack.
To protect the nation, the power of impeachment was bestowed on Congress. The House to indict and the Senate to try.

It is high time sir, the people of the nation demand justice. The rule of law demands justice. The constitution gives YOU the tools to bring justice.

If this nation is to continue as a nation of laws they must not be undermined by the very legislatures that create them, courts that interpret them, or the executives who are meant to enforce them.

There are many issues that must be attended to in very short order. Justice for crimes of the HIGHEST order must be sought. Investigations must be carried out. Followed by impeachments and criminal prosecutions.

We ask not for scapegoats, toothless measures, rhetoric to affect prestige, or partisan antics. We ask for honest, transparent investigations into all of the scope of this administrations actions. That appointees across the spectrum be removed as possible. Lobbyists have NO place in the offices they formerly lobbied. Bush's Supreme Court appointees need scrutiny. Bush, Cheney, Gonzales need to be impeached, tried, and then tried as common criminals - removing ANY and ALL chances of pardons. Justice must be served.

Your constituents, the people I talk to everyday - are constantly talking about impeachment. They wonder why justice is perceived to be "a waste of time" by those same people who make the laws.

Thank you for your time,
B"

Contacting YOUR Representatives for July 4th

Here are some links for the patriotic among you to get in touch with your congress critters or possibly even a White House fixture. What better way to "celebrate" July 4th? Tell them what you think of when you think freedom, rights, their voting record, how they should vote in the future, what issues you feel are not getting the attention they require, or those that are non-issues comparatively. Whatever, just get in touch.

House of Reps. - the ones who do the actual impeaching

Senate -

Anyway have a safe 4th.


B

Oh say can you see?....

Hiya all,

Well the 4th of July is upon us. I don't really feel like celebrating. There is nothing to celebrate.

http://arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/

her article

http://arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/2007/07/free-ruined-lives.html

is an absolute must read.

Shall we celebrate?
While our soldier's are risking their lives trying to uphold a constitution that the powers that be do not.

While our government pursues personal fortunes with patriotic lives, federal funds, and military misadventure?

While our government continues to commit genocide on a growing basis?

How shall we celebrate?
Drive to a mini vacation somewhere? Visit family? Drive? Fly?

Blow stuff up? Wave flags? Party?

Shop?


This is how we should celebrate...

Support the troops - bring em home.

Find a third party nation to help Iraq with the humanitarian disaster we have wrought - and truly rebuild Iraq.

Impeach - screw "It's a waste of time". Since when is seeking justice a waste of time? If that is the case disband the legislature, Supreme Court, and the executive branch and let's get on with our lives.

Begin reclaiming our nation, our rights, and the basic human rights we should be promoting rather than genocide and mayhem.

This is just a start...when we accomplish these I'll celebrate.

B

No raises for congress!

So the critters want more pay.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070628/ap_on_go_co/congress_pay_raise

$170k per year, with insurance. No wonder they think the U.S. is doing so well.

As I read one comment in a forum say, Congress should lose their insurance until all American's have there own.
I'd like to take that a bit further. They should also link their pay to Wal-Mart employee pay (not management the stockers, cashiers, etc). Maybe then we can get some fairness in pay legislation. As it stands we are all economic slaves (unless we happen to be the business owner...).

In other news Warren Buffet today released a statement against the tax gap in this nation. To make his point he used himself and his receptionist as examples. He made $46 Million in taxable income and paid 17.7% while she paid 30%. The American Dream baby! Slavery without buying slaves, feeding, or supporting them. AND a perpetual system to keep it that way.

Hums to self....Amazing Grace how sweet the sound to save a wretch like me.....oh...sorry masta.

Bong Hits for Freedom of Speech Zones

http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/06pdf/06-278.pdf

The above link is for the actual 60 page decision.

And this link is more for a little perspective (with a touch of hypocracy):

http://www.populistamerica.com/liberty_whiskey_and_hemp

While this may seem uncharacteristic for me, I must say that I agree with this decision. I have in my life spent many hours in schools (both primary and secondary) where far to much of my time was wasted by someone else's "free speech". It is not the time or the place for this.

All of this being said though, I also disagree with this ruling. You see, noone stops all of the other folks from their free speech in school. I shouldn't have to hear about abortion rights/right to life at school either (unless it is part of a curiculum of the class I am in attendace to). Or oil company rape of the nation, or freedom of religion fights, or .....any of the other acceptable forms of free speech. My right to an education that I am paying for (through taxes or tuition) should be every bit as inalienable as someone else's right to free speech. This isn't a matter of rights as much so as timing. Should I go to the legislature to learn? (I would be a moron in no time) Should I go to a hospital emergency room to exercise my free speech? How about the dentist's office? Your lawyers office? It is no different because a school is a public entity (in the case of public education). Do you go interrupt trials to hold up banners unrelated to the trial? Do you go to the prison yard to give your speech? Freedom of speech does not and should not give anyone the right to trample any one else's rights.

My point distills to this...you can not claim freedom of speech if some speech is allowed and others not. If you deem it necessary to curtail speech in school (which I agree with -- on the point of disruption only) then even enforcement is the ONLY way to maintain claims of freedom of speech. Meaning that unobtrusive speech that is not violating or disrupting anyone else's rights should be our right. Innappropriate speech in inappropriate situations should not.
Now I am aware that arguments of any curtailing of the 1st Amendment will eventually lead to the total loss of the right to free speech. Sadly, this right is already mostly gone. While this case has made its way to SCOTUS a much more malignant curtailment has been unveiled - "Freedom of Speech Zones" which are kinda like temporary internment camps for the purpose of speaking our free speech. These are truly offenses to our freedom of speech yet noone is really even talking about these let alone SCOTUS.

My first exposure to FoSZ was while reading a book by Jim Hightower where he gives an account of the FoSZ and "Jackboots" that enforced them in Florida a few years ago. Since then I have seen sparse mention of some cases of FoSZ here in Wisconsin (my neck of the woods). These atrocities against the Bill of Rights should be stood down by the population IMMEDIATELY however all I hear are crickets....

Republican Party Census Document/Questionnaire

Well I'm not sure how I got on the RNC mailing list. Yesterday I received a letter from the RNC asking me to fill out their questionnaire. As I read the questions, visions of misdirected poll data, very general questions allowing any interpretations, and another couple of years of skewed public announcements based on these horrible questions. As all this ran through my head I was also thinking of how much "liberal" writers and commentators like to spew how the Republican's are distancing themselves from the GWB neocons. Looks like Fascism as usual to me...

Here are the questionnaire questions: [All questions share the same generic answers : Yes, No, Undecided]

Homeland Security Issues:

1. If Democrats try to gut the USA Patriot Act and other important laws that promote the safety and security of all Americans, should the Republicans fight back?

2. Should we stop the Democrats from cutting funding for our intelligence agencies or bring back Clinton-era restrictions on inter-agency communications?

3. Do you support the use of air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on America?

4. Should we do everything we can to stop Democrats from repealing critical border and port security legislation?

5. Should our homeland defense forces use profiling to protect our nation?


Economic Issues:

1. Should we continue working to permanently repeal the Inheritance or “Death Tax”?

2. Should President Bush’s successful income and capital gains tax cuts be made permanent?

3. Should Republicans renew the fight for a Balanced Budget Amendment?

4. Should Republicans unite to keep our pro-growth achievements from the past six years intact by blocking new federal government bureaucracy and red tape?

5. Should Republicans in Congress oppose the new wasteful government spending programs proposed by the Democrats and their leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?


Domestic Issues:

1. Do you agree that we must stop illegal immigration?

2. Should we continue working for serious tort reform to protect individuals and small businesses from predatory lawsuits?

3. Should we make sure President Bush’s judicial nominees receive fair hearings and up or down votes in the Senate even when Democrats threaten a filibuster?

4. Should Republicans in Congress protect American’s private property rights from eminent domain?

Social Issues:

1. Do you think Congress should pass the Federal Marriage Amendment?

2. Do you want us to defend the recently-passed partial birth abortion ban from attacks by the Democrat majority?

3. Do you support President Bush’s initiative to allow religious and charitable groups to do more to help those in need?


Defense Issues:

1. Do you think U.S. troops should have to serve under United Nations commanders?

2. Do you agree that our top military priority should be fighting terrorists?

3. Should we fight Democrat efforts to impose Clinton-era cuts in the Pentagon’s budget?

4. Should Republicans continue to support the State of Israel?

5. Do you support economic sanctions against North Korea and Iran to stop their nuclear weapons programs?

6. Do you agree that sowing seeds of Democracy and freedom in the Middle East is a worthy goal?


Republican Party:

1. Do you support the election of Republican candidates across the country and the rebuilding of our majorities over the next ten years?

2. a. Did you vote in the year 2002?
b. Did you vote in the year 2004?
c. Did you vote in the year 2006?

3. Will you join the Republican National Committee by making a contribution today?
a. Yes, I support the RNC and am enclosing my most generous contribution of:
b. Yes, I support the RNC, but I am unable to participate at this time. However, I have enclosed $11 to cover the cost of tabulating my survey.
c. No. I favor electing liberal Democrats over the next ten years.


Special Question for RNC members only:

Which issues will be most important to you (rank the top three) as you vote in the Primary and General Elections next year?

Abortion—Education--Federal Budget—Gun Control—Homeland Security—Illegal Immigration—Social Security—War on Terror—Other:





Well if that doesn’t give you a clear picture of the Republican party I don’t know what will. Most of these questions are utterly worthless due to extreme generality. The rest seem to be aimed at revisionist shifts to popular opinion or political smears. Not what I call leadership. I had a lot more to say on this but typing all of that in took longer than expected so I am out of time so...

note: well blogger is certainly no word. It seems to have eaten my word file but it is functional so...

Department of Dysfunction to be renamed!

Every Aspect of the U.S. Federal Government is Broken

The departments of our federal government have gone beyond dysfunctional and now rest squarely in farcical.

Immigration – do we stop ANYONE who doesn’t have drugs on them at the borders anymore (and the DEA isn’t very good at this either – the CIA is too crafty for em…)? We can’t stop infected lawyers that are ON the watch list, “terrorists” either, or illegal immigrants flooding our borders from the land, sea, and air. So what DO these guys do?

State – do I even have to say anything here? Ok, the basis of the future Miniluv.

Edukashun – HAH! Herein will be the basis of the future Minitrue. We are stupid. We are getting worse.

Defense – I feel safer already! Couldn’t take down slow ass jumbo jets with hours of notice, always seems to be ineffectual in wielding our world class military, feels their greatest enemy is one of domestic origin while outwardly hawkish against the flavor of the day nation. Meet the future Minipax.

Agriculture – lessee tainted beef, infected produce scares every few months, less and less actual regulation, and even fewer inspectors. Will be one of the components of Miniplenty.

Justice – merges with state to make Miniluv! This department is more about covering crime than it is about fighting it. Political control is the currency within these halls.

Energy – the chain that binds us to fossil fuels.

Treasury – soon to be renamed the Chinese savings and loan. Wonder how AIPAC is gonna feel about that…

Labor – we have plenty of people looking for WORTHWHILE work! Not 28 hours at Wal-Mart for 8.35 an hour without any benefits except the phone number for welfare. Don’t “Gasp!” it is true.

Interior – kinda like ebay for industry to rape our natural resources.

There are many more departments but I can only stomach thinking about so many of them at once!

B

Now that's stickin it to em!

Though this is obviously not going to make it to far...I truly hope it does though!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070604/ap_on_re_us/vermont_secession_1

I remember reading about gun/succession laws in some states several- maybe many years ago ---laws triggering succession if the Right to Bear Arms was ever lost. I think states should put trigger laws in about immigration. If the federal government can't protect our borders---perhaps states need to be allowed their own means to do so. If that were to diminish the powers of the federal government - so be it.

The Hatfields and McCoys STILL at it....

Here is a story about the VFW supporting Sgt. Kokesh and the other 2 marines being hounded by the Marine Corps...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/01/AR2007060102421.html



Here's a lil followup on the jackass with tb

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/conditions/06/01/tb.flight/index.html



"Speaker said he had been told before the beginning of his trip that in order to fight his illness, "I had one shot, and that was going to be in Denver," at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, which specializes in treating drug-resistant forms of TB. If he was somewhere else and was not given the exact right mixture of drugs, he said, "That was it, they blew my last shot.""

I'm sorry Mr. Poor Me Lawyer but YOU blew it. If you knew (and you did for a year) that you were so sick....guess what. STAY HOME! Or better yet...go to that clinic you need so badly. Noone blew it but you. You made the choice to continue on with your life as if uninfected. You made the choice to expose people on an international level to a disease that is most often fatal. {and in this case I certainly hope that it is...}

Mr Speaker you are one of THE lowest forms of life there is. If by chance you should live you should be locked up for life. People like you make me sick.

Beating a dead horse....

When I awoke yesterday there wasn't any conscious decision to change the "topic" of my site to bashing lawyers...

Like I said yesterday though...the legal profession just can't stop screwing us so...here is yet another ethical lil creature found within said profession.

http://www.gregpalast.com/rove-pick-for-us-attorney-resigns-following-conyers%e2%80%99-request-for-bbc-documents/

I was actually looking for a story about a good lawyer somewhere to kinda make a point about my earlier generalizations I spoke of--- but this one needed posting too...

Then I came across this story...

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/06/01/the-antiwar-activist-that-the-right-wing-dare-not-smear/

At first I was kinda pissed about Sgt. Kokesh having his status changed. Actually, I still am. However, I must say that this brings up a good point.

If you just read that blurb you would be misled to think that the military was taking action against him for his speaking out {as an official reason anyway}. What that blurb doesn't tell ya is the reason given. It also doesn't tell you why that reason is important.

The reason given is because he wore his uniform in the fake militay patrol. This is a very long standing taboo. Our military is supposed to be apolitical. This is one of the manifestations of this policy. The uniform is not to be used as a symbol for any politcal cause. [I'm curious if he went out and bought some look alike camo that wasn't his actual uniform?] Now, before the flames consume us all...

While I do agree with the military logic on this, I find the hypocritical nature of the enforcement to be the real issue. All the presidents I have ever seen on tv [since Reagan at least] have used the military as a political backdrop. For instance, the well known "Mission:Accomplished" propaganda release from BushCo, used an aircraft carrier and her crew as a backdrop [and a rather over the top one at that] for a political end. The entire crew was NOT dishonorably discharged. That means it is ok to support a political action in uniform ONLY if it is in line with the official political power of the moment. That is not apolitical.

So the points in all this?
1. Sgt. Kokesh should be asked to continue his actions - speaking his mind, exercising his rights --out of uniform. He should also retain his status as honorably discharged.

2. The military itself should either hold itself to it's own standard or abolish it. Uneven enforcement is what corruption is all about. {The military has been a loyal Republicanesque "Conservative" institution for a long time so it is really only apolitical in theory} Remember this...banana republic dictatorships usually spring up out of their "conservative" military apparati.

3. Read deeper than the surface. Writers write themselves into what they write. If not in content then in lack there of. If they didn't who would need a writer? My post could have said this and been done with it:

Put Libby in the can!

Well, while we are on the subject of our ethical legal professionals here in the U.S., we may as well bring this up to!

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0531072libby1.html

Probation....for four felonies. The maximum sentence for his four Federal Felonies add up to $1 Million and 30 years in prison. Sounds about right to me. That's about as close to treason as it gets. This man should never see the light of day again. What else are the prisons we keep building for? Oh yeah...drug offenders. Most of em a danger only to themselves.

It will be interesting to see what happens... I'm sure it won't be what he deserves though. I Lewis Libby jr. - scumbag lawyer - yet another in a long line of upstanding legal professionals.

Yes, yes, I know generalizations are idiotic. Really though, how much damage should we allow one profession? Or a legal system that upholds the very corruption it is designed to eliminate?

This doesn't even touch on my personal experiences with lawyers... These experiences have not altered my opinions in any way. My lawyer for my mother's estate told me we would not be able to claim any funds in IRA accounts-- that the government gets to keep them. I told him he was insane, proved it to him, and STILL had to do ALL the work to claim the accounts. That was but one of his MAJOR errors that I am still dealing with 3 years later. Let's see then there are the lawyers who wouldn't touch the estate once he was involved or even discuss litigation against a fellow lawyers practice. They still charged me though for the phone consultations. It goes on but that would just be me bitchin...

So, ya this generalization doesn't bother me to much. I'm not off the mark to much when I say lawyers are scumbags.

More later I'm sure...they just can't seem to stop being scumbags.


B

As if you needed proof lawyers are indeed scum....

What profession has as much slime as that of the legal profession? I can't think of any. Some of ya might be tempted to say politicians...but that's the trick most politicians are....lawyers! Even the health industry has a slightly better reputation.

If any of you missed this story of utter selfishness please take the time to read it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070601/ap_on_re_us/tuberculosis_infection_114


Apparently this guy felt his personal life was more important than any of the lives of those around him. He "covered" his ass but that doesn't show me any desire to protect others. If anything it shows intent. It shows that he knew what he was planning was wrong. (The tape recording proves it.)

This just shows exactly whats wrong with this world and more specifically our country.

People with money feeling that they have more right to everything (including life) than anyone else around them and the money to do as they choose.

Personally I think this guy broke some serious laws. He knew he was a risk. He had known for a year. He didn't plan differently for his wedding despite having a year to do so. That screams to me ...entitlement. He didn't feel he should inconvenience himself in order to not expose others to a deadly disease with no treatment options. Even more damning is his route home. He had been ordered not to fly, not to return. What's he do? He got on an international flight to Canada, rented a car, and drove back to the U.S. where we failed to stop him.

This guy needs to be held in criminal quarantine until he is cured (if), then transferred to a nasty federal penitentiary where he should remain for the remainder of his life. He was willing to take the risk of handing a life sentance to any person he came in contact with.

This guy doesn't deserve to be a free citizen. He has shown this with his actions...forget his revisionist apologies after the fact when he is facing the repercussions of his actions. His apology rings hollow. It's a sound byte and a lie.

The sad truth - Cindy Sheehan hits the nail on the head

I don't watch television. Certainly not propaganda stations. Which about sums up television so...

No, I'm no "dirty hippie". I'm not a leftist vegan either.

Yes, they are mostly propagandist and biased outlets that spend as much time distracting as they do misleading. This may or may not have been the case when the "dirty hippies" claimed it to be so (I was shittin me diapers around the time they pulled the guys off of the embassy rooftop in Saigon). It is most certainly the case now.

Anyway...the point is- I don't know a lot about Cindy Sheehan besides her Crawford Camp and Anti-War stance. I did come across this today though and she hits it right on the head.

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/5/28/12530/1525

It's tough to even cut her post up for quotes...

"However, when I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the "left" started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used. I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of "right or left", but "right and wrong.""

Now, I'm not an entirely anti-war type. There are some definite world problems that just don't go away to a polite request or a childish refusal to trade with them officially while allowing business as usual[plus increased corruption!] through loopholes and shell companies. However, war is the last resort not a tool of revenge and greed.
She hit the nail on the head about the partisan nature of the nation - attack the wrongs of the party that one opposes and ignore the wrongs of the party that one supports. Then she drives it home.

"It amazes me that people who are sharp on the issues and can zero in like a laser beam on lies, misrepresentations, and political expediency when it comes to one party refuse to recognize it in their own party. Blind party loyalty is dangerous whatever side it occurs on. People of the world look on us Americans as jokes because we allow our political leaders so much murderous latitude and if we don’t find alternatives to this corrupt "two" party system our Representative Republic will die and be replaced with what we are rapidly descending into with nary a check or balance: a fascist corporate wasteland."

Ding! Except...we are already there. It's just tightening now. This fascism has been growing here for a long time. It's machinations have been found in every corner of government of the land. From village to town to city to county to state and of course the national - corporatist fascism (which is redundant I'm aware) has been growing stronger and stronger. Where once the worker held some sway, illegal/quasi-legal immigration, corporate flight to cheap foreign labor, free trade (wealth consolidations), the Red Scare, corporatist chipping, and rampant corruption have drastically changed all that.

I can't touch the rest you should read it - sad but true...

Bush Wars III

Well, just a few things today. Here's a little something to see how your senators voted on the Bush Wars bill.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Senate-RollCall-US-Iraq.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Looks like the sequel Bush Wars III will be funded...I sure hope he doesn't take this weakness from congress as a sign to start yet another foolish war - maybe into Iran or Syria this time. In my case one voted each way... at least Feingold is good for his word.

Send out some letters folks! Email your sens. Let em know that you are watching them. Let them know how you feel about how they voted (on this and other important legislation). Let them know that you are an informed voter. You watch, read, and remember when it comes time to vote. It takes a few mins literally to do so. I try to write my reps and sens often. It gives them a heads up and a little direction (particularly when it is their constituent telling them about particular bills and how they should vote). More importantly their response or lack there of will tell you how you(the constituent) stand in their view. That should give ya a BIG hint as to who to vote for on election day.
I know who I will and won't already.

If we do nothing, we will soon have just that.

Jerry Falwell coming home!

BRIMSTONE TIMES

HELL- Today, one of our most esteemed visionaries is coming home to us. This following a 73 year assignment among the living. His was a task of utmost importance to the work set forward to us by the Flaming Master himself. Don't take my word for it. Let his own words show you the incredible work he had to do.

HATE

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, "You helped this happen.""

-- Rev Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, quoted from John F Harris, "God Gave US 'What We Deserve,' Falwell Says," The Washington Post (September 14, 2001) { http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/foulwell.htm }

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."


-- { http://thinkexist.com/quotes/jerry_falwell/ }



LOVE

"I believe that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God"

-- { http://thinkexist.com/quotes/jerry_falwell/ }

"Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them"

-- { http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/foulwell.htm }


Hell, no pun intended, with that level of deceit, hate and lies we can all see why he is so close to the PoD {Prince of Darkness}.

As we all know here in the Brimstone capital actions speak louder than words though. What greater actions could one have performed for the forces of darkness? Not only did he do his best to recruit others to our duties, he recruited recruiters and trainers! All of these underlings he collected together to form... oh I know your gonna love this... Liberty University! Here we can recruit, train, and infiltrate til the souls come home so to speak. This institution will exponentially increase the rapidity of decline we all work SO hard for. Making Jerry's time away an investment that pays off for generations to come!

So come one come all! Welcome the soul in anguish of the hour home from a long assignment! The parade begins at three o'hell party at 5!

Byline: Mick Jagger {yes, amazingly his body STILL continues on without him }
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I didn't wanna just come out and cheer when someone died...even if it was someone as evil as Falwell. Yes, in case you didn't notice that was a little satire...I'm not really Mick Jagger's soul bound in Hell.

I guess all we can hope for came from his own mouth in a way...."But thank God this vile and satanic system will one day be utterly annihilated and there'll be a celebration in heaven." Revoke Liberty University's (and don't forget Regent!) accreditization and close em down! The last thing our government needs is more hypocritical blowhards. Close down every campus of Hypocritical Blowhard University! Oh yeah, retroactively...all degrees void. All of Bush's (and others) army of highly appointed Blowhard U zombies....fired.

One final note :

"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"

-- Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom { positive atheism as well }

Aww shucks...to bad.

Have a good day and remember the world is now a slightly better place...

Fascism in America Today

I'm not sure if I have posted this before but it is a great piece about Fascism then and now that I think everyone should read. The parallels are sickening.

Justice? Oxycontin doesn't feel the pain!

Just another big issue being ignored.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070510/ap_on_bi_ge/oxycontin_plea_2

This company developed and produced one of the most addictive substances ever. In my belief, they did this intentionally from the begining. This confirms it. They knowingly created it for its addictive qualities, hid those qualities, and simultaneously encouraged doctors to overprescribe it.

Let's see....

Addiction + Lies + Availability + Trust = BILLIONS of $ in Profits

Now let's look at the Justice is served point...

Billions - 645 Million = Still Billions (Justice?)

These men should be brought up on criminal charges. They deserve no special rights just because they are officers of a corporation. This corporation should lose its licenses. It's shareholders should lose their investments. It's held patents should be forfeit and open to use freely world-wide (if they have any worth a shit). A lesson should be taught to all these corporate criminals. What kind of drug war are we fighting? These guys aren't kingpins?

We need to get control back of our government.

We won't pass imported (Canadian) prescription drug bills for concerns over safety. But killing the USDA and allowing more food contaminations than ever before is cool.

We are in wars noone but the president, his administration, and his cronies feel the need to fight. Not that we don't feel there aren't wars we need to be fighting per se. We ALL feel those responsible for 9-11 should pay. Most of us feel that they haven't. A few of us believe that in fact they arent' paying but are getting paid. Regardless of who do it they must pay!

We allow the corporations to dictate to the market. We have no free markets. [Not that I think free markets are all that great. That's another post though.]

We allow religions to dictate our morals. Though these organizations themselves have been shown again and again to be without said morals.

We have allowed our rights to be revoked. We allow our government to torture. We allow our goverment to commit atrocities in our name, on soil both foreign and domestic. We allow our government to lie to us, poison us, control us, surveil us, steal from us, manipulate us, ignore us, and tax us to pay for it all!!

We allow our nation to be privatized right out from under us. Since business has proven itself so efficient, effective, non-discriminatory, free of corruption, and mindful of our rights we will now let business run government (American Fascism...hmm).

We need to regain our government.

Speak up, speak out, for fuck sake SPEAK!
What is it going to take?

Bush's America

Hello all :)

I am truly sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have many excuses, but that's what they are...just excuses. Let's just say it is hard to follow the decline of my country and have so little I can really do about it.

That being said, I am trying to make a better effort to come post my thoughts and findings. I have recently begun a new program at school and am still unsure of the amount of time I'm looking at spending on that aspect of my life atm.

Beyond that, there hasn't been much to comment on at all in the news lately (what with celebrity bimbos dying and sports talk personalities illustrating that they are unintelligent leeches on society). However, while all that was un-happening (that's really what these things are un-happenings) some real shit was going down. Bush appointed his latest list of crimi...lobbyi...frien...suppo.... umm people to Federal jobs. We got a shiny new ambassador to Belgium! Just goes to show what money can buy....a few well timed lies on national tv and BAM Belgium here I come! That's not all we got though is it? Nope we got an anti-social security "activist" placed as social security deputy commisioner too WOOHOO!

Bush is consistant to say the least. He has appointed lobbyists to the offices they formerly lobbied. He appoints financial supporters. He appoints polluters to EPA, oil cronies to Dept. of energy, corporate ag to USDA, and now an antisocsec to socsec.

That's just his appointments, not to mention his record against human rights and our citizen rights.

I am amazed people can STILL support Bush.

The only reasons I can come up with are complicity (making money off this circus) or idiocy (there may be an argument for lunacy but I don't want to slander any lunatics unfairly).

This should not even be a political discussion any longer. This should have become an issue of patriotism long ago. My grandfather and father both fought for this country. They enlisted to protect the American ideals - our freedoms, our rights, and our way of life. They would both be appalled by what has become of this country. Not so surprised about what the politicians have made of the country as they would be surprised that the people have let it come to this.

I believe those rights and freedoms to be the KEY to our way of life. Without the key all of us are locked out of our country. All of us.

In Bush's America ONLY the president and his financial supporters are protected from the law. Your legal protections have all been denied.

In Bush's America ONLY the president has the right to free speech...and his is absolute freedom. No one is allowed to question his word.

In Bush's America ONLY the president is allowed to have his personal communications exempted from oversight. The government can and does go through the personal private communications of the citizenry without any protections afforded the citizen. However, the president's communications - even when in direct conflict with the law - must always be privileged.

This is just the tip of the iceberg too...
Sounds like a GREAT place to live....if you’re the president.

It's time American's fought for their country back. We have left the thieves in charge of the treasury for far to long. American's need to stop being so lazy and complacant. We need to speak out, write letters, boycott products and companies, stop watching and supporting un-american propaganda channels, get together in LARGE numbers and refuse the freedom of speech zones, support alternative media outlets, get involved, write to your reps and senators for both state and federal, write to judges hearing important cases, write to advertisers of inappropriate programming (Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Pat Robertson, etc.) THEN follow through and boycott if they continue to support said programming THEN follow through with that and write back to the boycottee illustrating the moneys they lost. MONEY TALKS! These are only a handful of ways to help. Find ways you can help to make this country the place it should be.

Happy New Year !

Howdy guys and gals,

I figured it was about time I posted again. I haven't totally ignored this site over the holiday season. However, most of the time I put into it was answering emails and killing auto-advertising that was hitting my comments area.

My posts may look like crap that is easy to churn out but most of the time involved is spent reading, tracking stories, and researching. The research and reading is what I really try to continue when time permits. This site wasn't intended to be a daily blog for me to rant. Partly, it was intended to be an outlet for me to try to bring things to more people's attention. However, this seems so much easier to do in comment sections of other sites (more traffic). This doesn't entirely cover the bases though. Therefore, I try to use this blog for when I feel certain items need more coverage, more analysis, or to be brought back out into the discourse.

Perhaps, I could do a little commenting on current events on a daily basis ....but aren't there enough of those sites?

Also, I was hoping that my comments section would actually be an arena for discourse. This seems to be wishful thinking for most blogs including this one.

Anyhow I hope you all had a nice holiday season and life finds ya happy and healthy.
