Quotes
"There's a fight in is this country over civilization.
Some of us believe in science, analytical thought, personal freedoms,
rule of law and a common morality that does
not discriminate against those who are outside our group. We don't like
violence,
even if we believe that war is sometimes necessary.
Our opponents who don't believe in these things are basically barbarians.
They hate science, love fundamentalist religon,
disdain the rule of law and see no problem with changing standards of morality
for those seen as others - whether it's torturing
Muslims or denying marriage to gay couples. They actually like war, and
don't
like diplomacy. There are a lot of these people."
-- G Powell, listing the facts, Link
If Democrats could learn the English language AND have the guts
to use it
we likely wouldn't lose another election - but they are so afraid
of everything.

Sleazy Rice:
Bush Stayed Legal
Link
Excerpt:
Former hooker Condoleezza Rice defended Bush's
torture policies Sunday, saying he would not have authorized anything illegal.
"He was also very clear that we would do nothing
-- nothing -- that was against the law or against our obligations internationally,"
Rice lied.
A Senate Intelligence Committee report released
in April showed Rice was among top Bush advisers who approved illegal torture
on helpless suspects in its custody. Recently
released Bush memos showed Justice Department officials argued that torture
did not
violate U.S. laws against torture.
If Bush did nothing wrong, why did he lie about it?

Not all Bush bastards were into Torture
Excerpt:
The proclamation that Bush issued on June 26,
2003, to mark the United Nations International Day in Support of
Victims of Torture seemed innocuous, one of dozens
of high-minded statements published and duly ignored each year.
The United States is "committed to the worldwide
elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example," Bush
lied,
vowing to prosecute torture and to prevent “other
cruel and unusual punishment."
But inside the CIA, the statement set off alarms.
The agency’s top lawyer, Scott Muller, called the White House to complain.
The Bush bastards reaffirmed their support for
torture, but the exchange was a harbinger of the conflict between the torturers
and the United States’ historical stance against
torture that would deeply divide the Bush bastards and ultimately undo
the program...
Most news accounts of the C.I.A. program have
focused on how it was approved and operated. This is the story of its unraveling,
based on interviews with more than a dozen former
Bush bastards. They insisted on anonymity because they feared being enmeshed
in future investigations or public controversy,
but they shed new light on the battle about the CIA methods in Bush’s second
term.

In THE THIN WHITE LINE, author Craig DiLouie presents
a terrifying vision about how

you have

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Rush Limbaugh
Excerpt:
Rush Limbaugh. The name itself is spoken by many
as if referring to some form of nasty venereal disease.
It is a name associated with what many deem to
be the worst of the worst of sensational right wing reporting.
Our friends over at Bartcop have even stopped
using the name entirely, preferring to refer to him as “Pigboy”.
He currently is looking at a potential landslide
victory in our political poll asking readers which American
political pundit they would eat first if their
plane crashed in the mountains of Argentina.
Love him or hate him, Rush Limbaugh is a cultural
icon and a fixture in US politics, falsely claiming 20 million listeners
a week,
clearly someone out there either agrees with
Limbaugh. But what do we really know about the man who Ronald Reagan once
called “The number 1 voice of conservatism” in
the United States? Here are: Five things that you didn’t know about Rush
Limbaugh.

Subject: some things i don't understand-
Bartcop, can you answer these Qs?
1) why does Obama need to consult with Hatch
and other GOPers about picking a new SCOTUS robed member?
I don't recall Bush ever consulting with the
Dems about his Supreme decisions!
Democrats want to be fair.
The Republicans laugh at how stupid and naive
we are.
Most Republicans are Cheney - most Demopcrats
are Leahy.
2) why are Dems so worried about Repug threat
of Filibuster?
Let those morons do it. would be fun to see them
stand up in the halls of congress talking 24/7 with no breaks for bathroom
urgencies etc.
Why does Reid collapse whenever the GOP "threatens
filibuster"?
Let them try and carry out that threat, the USA
wll see what a truly laughing stock they are!
Reid is a worthless dishrag.
but the dems, as usual, have no cojones.
You have learned well, grasshoppa.
3) what happened to the congressional subpoena
of Karl Rove?
Will he ever appear there UNDER OATH and answer
Qs?
Or does he have some Get Free card that ordinary
americans do not have?
As long as Leahy chairs the Judicial committee,
the Rethugs will tell Democrats to go fuck themselves
and Leahy will just stand there and take it because
he's the most spineless slug on our team.
please, someone, try to answer these Qs,
thanks!

Get knocked out at the Political "Punch"
Quotes
"Discussing the Jeb and RomneyRepublican listening
tour, Rush Limbaugh said they are "embarrassed" by Sarah Palin.
Limbaugh said the underlying issue of these
speaking engagements is that Bush and Romney "hate" and "despise" McCain's
swimsuit model. Limbaugh defended
Palin and heralded her as the "most prominent and articulate voice" for
conservatism.'"

Weinerboy Banned in Britain
Excerpt:
The Brit government published a blacklist on
Tuesday of people recently banned from the country including a Hamas
lawmaker and a Jewish extremist, as well as anti-gay
protestors and a statue-molesting far-right US talk show host.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said she decided to
publish the "name and shame" list -- which identifies 16 people
banned since last October -- for the first time
to clarify what behaviour Britain will not tolerate.
"I think it's important that people understand
the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact
that it's a privilege to come and the sort of
things that mean you won't be welcome in this country," she said
Hamas MP Yunis Al-Astal, Jewish extremist Mike
Guzovsky, former Ku Klux Klan leader Stephen Donald Black
and neo-Nazi Erich Gliebe are also on the list,
as is Nazi-boy Michael Weiner, also known as Michael Savage.
There was no mention why the vulgar Pigboy was
not also banned.

molest wax statues - got any?"

Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74
Excerpt:
In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active
chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice.
But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed
its results, which were never replicated -- until now.
The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new
meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced
they had destroyed incurable brain tumors in
rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.
The Madrid study marks only the second time that
THC has been administered to tumor-bearing animals; the first was
a Virginia investigation 26 years ago. In both
studies, the THC shrank or destroyed tumors in a majority of the test subjects.
I have a good friend who smoked his way out of Stage Four lung cancer.
Why do the religiously insane hate marijuana so much when it helps people?

Subject: The Obama Bull Market
Bart,
After President Obama was only in office about
a week or two, Faux News and the "liberal" MSM struck upon the meme
that it was now the Obama bear market, when it
was just a continuation of the Bush bear market. I mean, who seriously
believes after being in office a few weeks he
could stop and reverse the train wreck of the prior eight years?
Well, now that the Bush bear market bottomed out
about 2 months ago, the 3 major indexes are way up from those lows,
the DJIA is up 28%, the S&P 500 is up 34%
and NASDAQ is up 39%. My question is, when is the liberal MSM
going to start trumpeting the Obama Bull Market?
RJ, nomadic pillar

Not only that, but Obama contained that swine flu pretty well.
You know those Bush bastards would've stayed on vacation the whole
time
while their whore allies say, "He has a fax nachine with him so he
can work."
Yeak, like Bush ever did any work when he was president.

Napolitano Cancels Cinco de Mayo
Excerpt:
It promises to be the worst Cinco de Mayo in
memory.
Many Mexicans all over the United States will
not be able to party on the fifth of May.
The swine flu epidemic and the daily drug violence
that are wreaking havoc in the already fragile
Mexican economy took caused the holiday to be
canceled by Janet Napolitano of Homeland Security.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the defeat of powerful
French invading forces by a Mexican army at the
Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This battle
was important because it would be "the last time that an army
from another continent invaded the Americas.
Mexicans are furious that the United States is ignoring their holiday.

FOX News "Selective Factivity"
Excerpt:
Reacting to recent criticism of their editing
practices which tend to delete segments of news clips and soundbites
which may distort or completely transpose the
reality of the clip, Fox News has issued a terse response.
"It is not now, nor has it ever been our intention
to deceive the viewer," said Fox auper-whore, Roger Ailes
"In fact it is due to our respect of the viewer
that we do not force them to watch newsmakers drone on and on
about extemporaneous elements of a story that
many times just cause confusion. It's not editing, it's 'Selective Factivity'."
Remember when Obama weas in Europe?
He said something like, "America has been
arrogant and you bastards have been, too."
FOX cut off the last half of that and said, "Obama
is bad-mouthing America."
I blame the Democrats for not listing the facts but also - where is
the rest of the whore media?
Why don't they treat FOX like the liars they are? Besides Jon Stewart,
Colbert and some web sites,
nobody will say the facts out loud: FOX is a joke and that
fact needs to be said more often.

Subject: Church and Torture
Bart, I am saddened to hear about people who support
torture claiming to be Christian.
When people start to use their religion as a
way to sell their political views, it means their religion is empty.
It means they do not understand the promises
of God.
It could also mean that God is going to give
their country the same treatment
he gave Sodom, Gomorrah, Nineveh, Rome, Persia,
etc...
Remember, I said: "could".

I wonder how many "religious" people really believe what they claim
they believe.
Even Mother Teresa said she thought religion was crap.

"Much of what happened in the last election
revolved around the fact that the economy fell apart at the time
we were holding the hot potato.
And the economy came crashing down while our party was holding the hot
potato. "
-- Captain Magic Underpants, Link
The economy did "fall apart" and it did not "crash."
The Bush bastards and the super-rich Republicans robbed every
bank in America.
When John Dillinger robbed a bank, did anyone say, "The bank crashed?"
Did anyone say, "The bank fell apart?"
No, so why are they saying that now?
The super-rich sold $200K houses for $600K and they sold $1M houses
for $3M
and they did that tens of thousands of times and they
still have that money.

Quotes
"There is no evidence more visible that the
American people are already rebelling against the far-left agenda
than Senator Arlen Specter switching
parties to become a Democrat. He did this for one reason, and that is his
advisers told him he couldn’t retain
his Senate seat as a Republican. In other words, the same people who supported
Senator Specter six years ago have
soundly rejected him today. That, my friends, sounds like 1994. The extreme
liberal agenda is not sellable to the
American people. Just wait and see."
-- Jim Inhofe, making no sense as usual,

Hey Pissquik, Specter was down 21 points as a Rethug.
Now
he's ahead by 20 points and you say that's proof the country
rejects Democrats?
