Hypocrisy:
Thy Name Is Bush
by
Robert Parry
Excerpt:
If Bush hates the perpetrators, they are locked
up indefinitely without charge and, at his discretion, can be
subjected to "alternative interrogation techniques,"
what most of the world considers torture. The rule of law
is out the window. Wild West hangin' justice
is in. Even the ancient fair trial right of habeas corpus is discarded.
However, when the killers of civilians are on
Bush's side, they get the full panoply of legal protections - and every
benefit of the doubt. Under this Bush double
standard, therefore, right-wing Cuban terrorists Luis Posada Carriles
and Orlando Bosch, though implicated in a string
of murderous attacks on civilians, get the see-no-evil treatment.
On April 19, the 79-year-old Posada was released
on bail from federal custody for an immigration violation and
allowed to fly to Miami where he will live at
home while his case winds its way through the U.S. courts. Bosch, too,
has been allowed to live out his golden years
in south Florida with the help and protection of the Bush family.

The Party of Brownshirts
Excerpt:
Neocons have turned the Republican Party into
a Brownshirt Party. Look at the evidence. While real patriots
flee the party, the remaining supporters cling
to power by asserting dictatorial dominance for President Bush.
Gonzales denies that the U.S. Constitution provides
habeas corpus protection to American citizens. Giuliani and
Romney believe the president has the power to
imprison U.S. citizens indefinitely without warrants or trials.
The "conservative" Federalist Society favors
concentrating more power in the executive. Neocon ideologues
claim the right to impose American hegemony over
all others - especially over Muslims. All of these Republican
tyrants and budding tyrants claim to be protecting
liberty and democracy.

Subject: God & guns
Isn't it ironic that the same people who believe
in the power of prayer to an invisible
cloud being are often the same people who need
guns to protect themselves?
Why don't they believe that their ICB can protect
them?
Ed
I think most/all "religious" people realize they're lying to themselves.
If people really believed in God, they wouldn't be sad when somebody
dies and
they would be decent, moral people who don't steal, lose their temper,
cheat etc.
If you really thought every dead relative was watching, you'd never
have sex.
And since God is watching all the time, why would anybody ever sin?
I think people know it's all crap, but they mindlessly run thru the
routine of
going to church probably to keep up appearances so their neighbors
don't talk.
..and they own guns because they know their God is powerless to protect
them.

Where are all those Missing Babies?
Excerpt:
If Limbo doesn't exist, what happened to all
those missing babies?
The fate of unbaptized babies has confounded Catholic
scholars for centuries. According to church teachings,
babies that haven't been splashed with holy water
bear the original sin, which makes them ineligible for joining
God in heaven. At the same time, as innocent
beings, they surely don't deserve eternal torment.
The truth is - the Church got caught telling a stupid story that doesn't
hold up.
Everyone who's not in their specific club will burn until the end of
time? Perfect.
Nothing proves the love of an all-forgiving God like torturing newborn
babies forever.
If the Catholics would give me $1000, I'd give them a much more logical
story.
It wouldn't be any more true than theirs, but fewer questions would
be asked.

"The first lesson about decision-making is,
if you're short on a subject, ask for help. I wasn't afraid
to admit I wasn't sure how to design a rug,
so I called Laura. I said, 'They've asked me to design a rug
in the Oval Office; I don't know anything
about rug designing; will you help me?' She said, 'Of course.'
But I said, 'I want it to say something' --
the president has got to be a strategic thinker -- and I said to her,
'Make sure the rug says 'optimistic person
comes to work.' Because you can't make decisions unless
you're optimistic that the decisions you make
will lead to a better tomorrow."
"The goal for Iraq is a country that is stable
enough for the government to work, that can defend itself
and serve as an ally in this war on terror,
that won't be a safe haven, that will deny the extremists and

be an additional dividend when we succeed -- remember the rug?
I'm optimistic we can succeed."

Special Counsel after Karl Rove
Excerpt:
The Office of Special Counsel is preparing to
jump into one of the most sensitive and potentially explosive issues
in Washington, launching a broad investigation
into key elements of the White House political operations that for
more than six years have been headed by chief
strategist Karl Rove.
The new investigation, which will examine the
firing of at least one U.S. attorney, missing White House e-mails,
and White House efforts to keep presidential
appointees attuned to Republican political priorities, could create
a substantial new problem for the Bush White
House.
First, the inquiry comes from inside the administration,
not from Democrats in Congress. Second, unlike the
splintered inquiries being pressed on Capitol
Hill, it is expected to be a unified investigation covering many
facets of the political operation in which Rove
played a leading part.
Thank Koresh that Lee Hamilton isn't in charge of this one.

Bart, you said:
> And why is it a sin to terminate a pregnancy when they admit "it" has no soul?
That's not what they are saying.
Sure they are.
Abortion is a sin and a baby has no soul until
it's baptized.
Rather than assigning unbaptized infants a lesser
afterlife, they're saying that they believe God's mercy
will suffice for them since the babies are innocent
and shouldn't suffer the consequences of someone
else's spiritual neglect.
Why should the innocence of the baby even be in
question?
Do you accept the absurdity of Original Sin?
That's a glaring mistake in a religion filled
with glaring mistakes.
And I think that's the right call, even if it's
way too late.
The church leaders were trying to cover their
asses regarding the critical importance
they placed on baptism vs. the repugnance of
the idea of God sending babies to hell.
Keep hammering,

Besides giving Michael Corleone an alibi, what good is baptism anyway?
Isn't its primary function to begin to entrap a child's mind before

Subject: Obama
BART!
Although I think Hillary is the strongest choice,
I like Obama, too.
He's ten times more qualified to be President
than Bush is right now after holding the office for six years.
Being President requires a big brain and a cool
demeanor. Obama has BOTH. Bush has neither.
Last week, after Obama said, "No Democrat wants
to play chicken with the lives of our troops..."
FOX News ran his pic with the caption, "...wants
to play chicken with the lives of our troops."
Now, that's the kind of shit we're up against.
Another story went along the lines of:
"Hillary: Can America endure another four
years of scandals due to Bill Clinton's libido?"
The answer is this: Yes, we can!
Bill Clinton may have screwed an intern, (actually,
he didn't)
but he NEVER screwed our country. George W. Bush
has done the polar opposite of that. HOO-YA!
In the words of the great Mike Malloy, "Have I mention yet today how much I hate these people?"

Hail the deserter-in-chief
Excerpt:
Bill Clinton spent two terms of his presidency
on the defensive because he had, in typical Clintonian fashion,
prevaricated between his ethics and his political
future on whether or not to register for the draft during Vietnam.
In the end, he registered but was not called
up.
It is interesting that people like the newly recess-appointed
US Ambassador to Belgium, Sam Fox, spent so much
time and money examining the military careers
of people like Kerry, but are so uninterested in the eloquent lack of
a military career for George Bush. But he won
his ambassadorship the same way that Bush won his exemption

Subject: A Note to Bush's Conservative Christian Base
Excerpt:
By now, most Americans have seen the light and
disapprove of Bush and his war. But, his conservative
Christian base is still hanging on. In the Bible,
Jesus prophesized that one day there would be those who say
that 'I am Christ but will reject my teachings'.
This prophecy is being fulfilled here. Each conservative Christian
needs to consult his conscious and compare Bush's
actions with the Ten Commandments and the teachings of
Jesus Christ and reconsider his support.
Rock bottom poll numbers should prompt a pullout from Iraq.

Death of
a Lion
by Michael Hammerschlag in Moscow
Excerpt:
I never saw the remote doddering sickly man he
became, but Boris in his prime in 1991-94 was vibrant, lusty,
fearless, brazen, and decisive. He was simply
a great man- and his failings were in many ways - the failings of
Russians themselves: the scheming, the flakiness,
the imperiousness, the corruption. He was a man of the people,
and the most honest and decent leader I've seen.
When he spoke into the camera on TV he connected in a deep
visceral way with people who had never had any
leader connect at all, just recite Communist homilies and stiff
gibberish. Even his drinking, so unfairly lampooned
in the foreign press, was a source of strength- Russians loved
to drink and he was one of them.

Car bomb
kills 9 U.S. troops in Iraq
I forget - why are they dying 9,000 miles from home?
Excerpt:
An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web statement
Tuesday claiming responsibility for a suicide car bombing
that killed nine and wounded 20 in the worst
attack on American ground forces in Iraq in more than a year.
The Islamic State of Iraq, a handjob offshoot
of al-Qaida in Iraq, said it was behind Monday's attack.
The victims were all members of the Army's 82nd
Airborne Division, said a spokesman.
It was the highest number of casualties for the
division since the war began.
And it's a record that could be broken again tomorrow.

Cheney's War Smirk
Excerpt:
Never before have I felt such irk from a Cheney

to vote to fund the war without including serious restrictions.
Cheney referred approvingly to the fact that "Carl
Levin, who's chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
has indicated that they definitely do want to
pass funding for the troops."
Cheney expressed confidence that the Democrats
will "not leave America's fighting forces in harm's way without
the resources they need to defend themselves."
And yes, the Vice President went on to reassure viewers, against
all evidence to the contrary: "We are making
progress."

We had to say goodbye to Goldie the cat.
It was tough - the four of us had been a family for 14 years.
In you heard BCR Show 100, you know how we spent months and thousands
of dollars, including
exploratory surgery, trying to get her to eat - did you know animal
intensive care is $150 a day?
That eventually worked (thanks to God's flowers, not the doctors) but
she started having painful
seizures so the decision was made for us. This happened during the
ice storm in January but I
put off writing about it until now. Lots of people mention the cats
when they write.
She was nine pounds of pure personality who was always performing.
She literally lived on Mrs Bart. If she was in her chair watching
TV, Goldie would be in her lap.
When she went to bed, Goldie slept on her feet.
But in the silver lining department, Goldie's brother Bart slowly began
creeping onto Mrs. Bart's lap.
Now he's there most of the time - that makes things a little brighter.
I'm doing BCR 115 tomorrow - see you Thursday.
