"I don't want her rights taken away, but she needs to
  be respectful for what our country stands for."
     -- Bill Johnson, Yellow Rose gift shop owner in Crawford, on Cindy Sheehan,   Link
 

Bill, I can't speak for Cindy, but I think her point is that, under Bush, America now stands for
rape, torture, murders, invasions, man-piles, plundering, more torture, rendering etc etc etc.

The last thing Bush's America stands for is free speech.

Biblical Pacifism to the Crusades
   by Nat Parry

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
Though the Crusades date back almost a millennium, they continue to color events in
today's Middle East, as many Muslims view U.S. intervention through that ancient prism.
But the Crusades also marked a shift in Christianity away from the pacifism taught by
Jesus to the self-righteous use of violence espoused by Bush and many modern Christians.

GOP: Wage hike for tax cuts
 For every dime, they get $100,000

 Yahoo News

 Excerpt:
Fascist Republican leaders are willing to allow the first minimum wage increase in a decade
but only if it's coupled with a cut in inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates.

A package GOP leaders planned to bring to a vote Friday or Saturday in the House also
would renew several popular tax breaks, including a research and development credit for
businesses, and deductions for college tuition and state sales taxes, said a spokesman for
House Majority Leader John Boner, R-Ohio.
 

Doesn't it figure?
Why do the super-rich need more money so badly?

Did the Democrats get played again?
Are they going to "settle" on giving the GOP everything they want?

Is the GOP so afraid of losing control of congress this November
that they gotta steal everything that isn't nailed down right now?

Quotes

"And in the general hardening of outlook that set in . . . practices which had been
  long abandoned - imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves,
  public executions, torture to extract confessions . . . and the deportation of whole
  populations - not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended
  by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive."
   -- Orwell's 1984

Subject: soldiers families

The PR departments of EVERY division or other sub-unit use tax-payer money to
'brainwash' the dependents and loved ones of every soldier by sending out their unit's
slick little brochure (actually, a small magazine) to the 'home-front every month.

I know...I get one from the division to which my grandson is assigned.

These 'propaganda' pieces would never criticize the C-in-C, and those at home are
led to believe that yhings are 'hunky-dory' in Iraq...never is there an article exposing
the evil and criminal ineptitude of the entire enterprise.

You are 100 percent correct...the families should be raising hell.
It's real mean to say, but makes one wonder if some of them do not
secretly hope to collect the $400.000.00.

Another way to put the cost of blood on the poorest of our population.

Sleazy: Midwife From Hell

 truthout.org

 Excerpt:
After being one of the most inept national security advisers in the nation's history,
Condoleezza Rice is now earning the same grade as secretary of state.

Her description of the conflagration in Lebanon as the "birthpangs of a new Middle East"
was about as callous as it gets, matched only by Bush's remark that the conflict represents
"a moment of opportunity." The 400 Lebanese who have died, an overwhelming number
of them civilian and many of them children, were not feeling any birthpangs.

They were feeling deathpangs.

Nor were families of the Israeli victims (about 50 so far, and most of them soldiers) cheering
the new day, either.  Rice's cruel opposition to an immediate cease-fire has left the whole world
outside of Israel (and Tony Blair's kennel) aghast.  And Bolton's sneering about a cease-fire
not being "the alpha and omega" only reinforced the arrogance.

Stryker team stuck in Iraq
 Rummy goes back on his word

 Anchoragedailynews

 Excerpt:
He was in Iraq when she found out she was pregnant, and still there when the baby first kicked.
But Staff Sgt. Rick Glanz was supposed to be home Saturday, well in time for the November birth.

But not now, thanks to Rumsfeld, Glanz's brigade which deployed to Iraq a year ago is now being
called on for its experience and combat smarts.

"I'm very upset. I'm very disappointed. I'm ready for him to come home. It's been a long year,"
said Celeste Glanz, who last saw her husband in February when he was home on leave.

The Stryker troops were all expected home in the next few weeks.
Now weddings and vacations and all other family plans are up in the air.
The brigade commander says that the extended tour is open-ended...
 

We have at least two kinds of soldiers in Iraq.
The newbie kids who aren't trained and aren't equipt
and the do-I-need-ro-shoot-myself-to-get home, been-there-forevers.

Gee, it's almost a recipe for disaster.

Subject: Did Jesus exist?

Bart,

Sometimes I get annoyed, but not angry, with a lot of the atheistic comments expressed on your site
but I can deal with it.  If people want to believe there is no spiritual world and that love, beauty, art
and music are just enzymes going crazy in their brain they have that right.

What?
You seem to be linking the nuttiest of notions to those who reject the silly ghost idea.
What do love and music have to do with rejecting religious superstitions?
 

However, as a progressive Christian I must comment when someone says Jesus did not exist
because there were no writings by early Christians.  There are many writings by early Christians
that were written long before the bible.  Why would all of these writings exist if there were no
Jesus in the first place?  Why would so many common people make so much up about nothing?
Whether there was a virgin birth, is the rapture real, will a physical Jesus actually return, and
whether the Bible is written metaphorically are all valid issues to contemplate.

I'm sorry the subject came up because I couldn't care less.
I'd rather read about Paris Hilton's day than someone's opinions about Jesus,
assuming there's no imminent invasion and genocide planned in His name..
 

Here is a link
Google "early Christians" and you will get plenty of things to study.

MSGOP: Should Der Monkey be Impeached?

 Yes, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
 87%

 No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
 4.3%

 No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.

Subject: You are sane, Israel is Not

Come on Bart.
If you are sane, then publish the simple truth.

Me?
Publish the truth?
It takes courage to publish the truth.
 

Israel, or rather the Jewish state, tried to take over Arab lands about 50 or 60 years ago.

They tried?
 

Problem is, the Arab world is not North America.
The Arabs and Muslims are not going to go the way of the North American Indian.

I didn't ask them to...
 

You, I guess a white fuck living on Indian land in Oklyyhomaa,
are part of the race that committed genocide against the native peoples.

I confess, I killed them with my bare hands.
BTW, do you know BC Johnny?
He uses words similar to yours.
 

Do you think that 300 to 400 Arab Muslims are going to allow 5 or 6 million
religiously insane Jews to take over any part of their world, like Palestine?

So ...Israel hasn't taken over any Palestinian land?
I thought you said, ...nevermind.
 

Come on, Bart.
If the Jews keep Palestine, I will move to Oklyyhomaa to retire.

Bob
 

Dude, you better hope Israel keeps "Palestine" because they have nukes
and they're not going to go down without using them first - trust me.

I don't know anything about Gray Davis, but apparently he refused to fight back when
they accused him of causing the blackouts and we found out later it was all Kennyboy

California turned all "Okie" and thought it'd be "cute" to have a Bush-brained,
tiddy-grabbing, musclehead/terminator for a governor.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself, California?

President No Clue

 Link

 Excerpt:
Anyone who has access to a television knows that the whole world is in chaos. And, anyone
also knows that the American president's idea of winning a propaganda war is blowing up the
Arab TV station, Al Jazeera, on account of the fact that he disapproves of its messages!
Intelligent international analysts have long since concluded that it's impossible to reason with
anybody who habitually volunteers suggestions as asinine as that! I spent a minute engaged
in lateral thinking. My conclusion was that we urgently needed to find a character who could
speak the American president's own moronic language!

Subject: Is Bush behind Israel's Invasion of Lebanon?

People are wondering if Bush is behind Israel's invasion of Lebanon.
Why would people wonder that? Perhaps it's their plan.

Israel is going to bomb Lebanon into loving Israel. Kind of sounds like Bush's plan
for Iraq where victory is defined as defeating the people who we are there to liberate.
When you see a country with a really bad idea looking for any excuse to start a war
and everything about it is wrong and dishonest, that's the Bush style of making decisions.
I think Bush was trying to use Israel to start a proxy war with Iran and Syria and has
failed to do it. All it's doing is making America and Israel weaker.

Birth Pangs

 commonwonders.com

 Excerpt:
I  think Condi's right. As Israel wreaks biblical vengeance on Lebanon, we may well be
witnessing, as she put it, "the birth pangs of a new Middle East." But the devil baby that
crawls out of the wreckage will be one that makes even her boss pause mid-swagger.
God help us. The reckless cynics are in control.

Just like that -  hundreds dead, half a million refugees, a nation's infrastructure shattered.
The perpetrators beat their chests and reload. The U.S. delivers of bombs to Israel,
which is driving Lebanon "to the gates of hell and madness," as Prime Minister Siniora said.

For once we agree.

Anyone that thinks Gore and Bush or Gore and ******
(won't say name so you won't dredge up your daily, boring rant on him)

Do you mean Kerry?
I admit, I often comment when someone brings up his name.
 

But now how are Democrats fighting.  Everyone is fixated on Lamont.
Now I think Lieberman is a waste.   But why so much energy attacking a Democrat.
(Yeah, I know, DINO, blah, blah)

Losing Kissyface might send a signal to the other pink tutus that if you get so close
to Der Monkey that he kisses you at the State of the Union, you might as well cash in
and go home because you'll never win again - at least not as a Democrat.
 

Democrats, and I mean us, are the problem.
We bitch and moan and don't do squat, not me of course.

What?
 

Democrats will destroy our Party's nomination, day and night.

So you're pro-her?
 

Do you believe Gore once ate a bagel with Lieberman?

Yeah, I could be talked into believing that...
 

I'm voting for Nader.

No, you're voting for Bush.
 

We, and you, are the problem.

You're not making any sense at all.
First you whine that the Democrats are about to fuck up,
then you announce you're voting for Bush,
now you want to include me in the people to blame?

Rage in the GOP

 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
I first became aware of the spreading discontent on the right in visiting with people in the
church social hall after the funeral this spring for Lyn Nofziger, Reagan's press spokesman.
The comments about the Bush White House people -- who were notable by their absence
at the service -- startled me. But since then I have heard the refrain over and over:
They never reached out to us. They never thought they needed our help. Now they're in trouble.
To hell with them. Whether or not the complaints are justified, they are epidemic. They are often
accompanied, as they were in the case of my weekend visitor, by the comment that everything
the White House does seems to be aimed at pleasing only one section of the Republican coalition
-- the religious right. That is why there was so much high-fiving on e-mails and phone calls among
other Republicans over the defeat last week of Ralph Reed, the one-time driving force of Pat
Robertson's religious-political movement who lost the nomination for lieutenant governor of
Georgia because of his links to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Mel Gibson hates Jews
 Claims he owns Malibu, too

        "F-ing Jews!"

 tmz.com

 Excerpt:
The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you."
The report also says "Gibson almost continually threatened me, saying he 'owns Malibu'
and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."

Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews...
The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked him, "Are you a Jew?"

Gibson noticed a female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"

Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report,
leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct.

Subject: stuck in Iraq

Bart,

I'm actually in that unit you mentioned. I was sent home a month early to help get everything ready
for the people coming back in main body.  When we found out, it was a madhouse around here.
We had just gotten one load of soldiers back from Iraq, and we were expecting another one the next day.
Supposedly the second flight got turned around after it had taken off. Good times.

Who are the families supposed to go to, Bart? You think the Representatives are going to do anything?
I mean with one hand you ask "What would evil men do to keep power?" and the next thing you're asking
"Why aren't they doing anything?"

They'll nod and say "So sad, indeed," and do what the fuck they wanted to anyway while using words like
"battle hardened veterans who want to go to Baghdad". Bullshit, everyone just wants to go home.

I'm stop lossed, Bart. I've been in the Army for over four years now. I was supposed to get out
last month, but here I still am, and now they're telling me I might not get out until next year.
My Senator is Biden, what the fuck do you think he's going to do for me?

(withheld)
 

I don't expect the soldiers to speak up and get in trouble.
Do they punish the soldiers if the family speaks out?
What about the families of the dead?
I'm real tired of hearing, "He died doing something he loved."

Sorry to hear you're stuck in Bush's quagmire.
What if you suddenly remember you're gay?
