The War to Terrorize, a political talking point and tragedy of Biblical proportions
If BOOsh's Reign of Terror were a Movie, it would be called (as I recently stated in a Yahoo Answer that was awarded "Best Answer"): "Raising George: The Story of How an Entire Nation was Forced to Endure the Pains of Collectively Raising a Toddler in the White House"
Many Repugs claim that the thwarted terror plot empowers BOOsh’s unconstitutional spy programs. But, as one columnist has so eloquently put it, the
Polls show that BOOsh is back at 33% approval rating. So his so-called “boost” received by Zarqawi’s death was very short lived. Why are “democrats” in Congress still afraid to bring up charges against him?
For those of you that think Lieberman is an honest democrat that cares for our country…think again. He’s merely parroting Repug rhetoric, and is only concerned with retaining his own power to get off on his ego trip. Remove him from every Democratic Club and Committee, and urge him to join the Repugs if he wishes to act like one!!
The Right Wingers are – indeed – Fascists. Proven by their rhetoric and actions everyday. Many of them are even going to the extremes of calling liberals/leftists “apologists” for those that commit terrorist acts!! They claim that we support Hezbollah’s actions and want our country to lose the “War to Terrorize”. I never said I wanted our country to lose any way, I never said I was an apologist for terrorism, and have never supported Hezbollah’s evil actions. I oppose warfare no matter who wages it!! It’s not a matter of wanting my country to fail in military operations, it’s a matter of wanting my leaders to use their brains and utilize military action as a LAST RESORT!!!!
Meanwhile, other Repugs claim that the recent movement to “purge” Lieberman from the Democratic Party is because we hate his “Pro-American” stance as opposed to our “Anti-American” position. Such bullsh*t!! If anything, we are Pro-American because we stand up for the United States Constitution, our American laws, and our country’s image as received by our neighbors and allies throughout the globe.
I’m deeply saddened to see that the great cable monopoly of Time Warner Broadcasting has taken over Adelphia here in
There are people in our government that want to loosen restrictions on testing new medications on prison inmates. As far as I’m concerned, these people are already being punished and are serving their time; this is nothing less than the Unconstitutional Act of “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”. Testing drugs on prisoners is the ethical and moral equivalent of testing products on helpless animals or even Nazi Experimentation on babies during the Holocaust!!
Right Wing Judges have said that BOOsh’s unconstitutional signature on a bill that was not identical in both houses of Congress is “ok”. Once again, failure to punish criminals that violate the constitution now sets a precedent for the future, act now or lose this power forever!!
Hey, I have a special little update for the “License to Kill” supporters out there (that includes you too PrideofRalston) who thinks that these “Stand your ground/Shoot First” laws are going to improve our nation’s security and crime situation: How does it do our nation any good for one man to gun down another over a trash can placement dispute (just to justify it with this new law)? I may defend people’s right to carry a concealed weapon as long as they are proven competent and have been awarded a license to carry one, but incidents like the one that I have cited here are the reason why I am edgy about this whole debacle.
Are you aware of the FACT that BOOsh knew about the terror plots in Britain for SIX DAYS without doing anything to warn the American people or even to bolster our nation’s defenses against such an attack?!! How is this supposed to encourage Americans? How is this supposed to reinforce the thought that BOOsh doesn’t want another catastrophic event to occur in the
Our government plans on creating an Electronic Passport that will carry all of the basic information that is on the paper passports, and will allow customs to “speed” through the process. Sounds cool and all, except for three other electronic identification methods that have been approved: VeriChip, Credit Cards and the National ID. Does this concern anyone else as much as it does me? Maybe I’m overreacting, but I just get nervous when I hear about any effort to put massive amounts of private information on a chip.
Repug Senator Rick Santorum claims that people who leaked and published information about the illegal Domestic Surveillance Programs are traitors. He advocated that the government should “aggressively pursue” these “traitors” and punish them for their deeds. Suppression of free speech and free press; usual movements of a fascist state, as history teaches us. His justification for this tough talk was the recently unveiled information about the terror plot in
To be honest, the real traitor is the one who would (as Ben Franklin once put it) “sacrifice essential liberties for temporary security”; thus giving our “enemies” a victory over democracy. The constitution defines a traitor as anyone who: (Article III, Section 3) “adher(es) to (our) Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The people that disclosed the illegal programs are doing their duty to protect the people and constitution of this great country, but you – Mr. Santorum – are aiding them in their efforts to destroy the
Neo-Con Radio Host Glenn Beck expresses a “sincere” warning to all Muslims as our planet sits on the “brink of World War Three”:
“All you Muslims who have sat on your frickin' hands the whole time and have not been marching in the streets and have not been saying, "Hey, you know what? There are good Muslims and bad Muslims. We need to be the first ones in the recruitment office lining up to shoot the bad Muslims in the head." I'm telling you, with God as my witness…human beings are not strong enough, unfortunately, to restrain themselves from putting up razor wire and putting you on one side of it. When…people become hungry, when people see that their way of life is on the edge of being over, they will put razor wire up and just based on the way you look or just based on your religion, they will round you up. Is that wrong? Oh my gosh, it is Nazi, World War II wrong, but society has proved it time and time again: It will happen.”
Regardless of whether or not you or I see this as a true possibility, it is an alarming message to a community that our society is already having trouble impressing. How’s this supposed to prevent Muslims from joining organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda? How is it supposed to give these people encouragement that Americans and the rest of the western world looks out for their best interest? It doesn’t help at all. If anything, this could be used as fuel by the “enemy” to make more “enemies”. If anything, I’d say that Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution applies here as well!!
The British Terror plot has many similarities to an Asian Terror plot that was foiled over a decade ago. Both were to happen on U.S. Bound flights and both were to deal with “liquid” explosives. As a fellow intellectual once asked, if it was so easy to foil both plots that are so similar, then why was it so difficult – after an incredible number of warnings – to prevent the 9/11 Hijackings? Wrap your brain around that one.
After Democratic Congressman John Murtha talked about the crimes committed by troops in
“You can quote anything I've said back to me and ask me if I have reservations, if I would have done it differently, if I would have said it differently -- do I have any regrets? The answer is no.” After she was asked if she was encouraging someone to “off” Murtha, she replied: “It is what it is.” She would later state that: “if (Murtha) did get fragged, he'd finally deserve one of those Purple Hearts.” Honestly, how does this woman get so much airtime?
RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman openly cites old retracted information to attack war heroes like Murtha when he says: “Rep. John Murtha…claims
Some Repug talking heads still suggest that calling for withdrawal of our troops and supporting our troops can’t come out of the same sentence. These people are single-minded fools that can’t ever comprehend or even consider the ability to use brainpower for multi-tasking. Hell, you really don’t have to multi-task to support our troops by demanding their safe return home or PROPER USE OF SERVICES. I’m tired of constantly explaining how both are synonymous; it’s like explaining a bad “blonde joke” to a room full of blondes. Note: I am a blonde, so it is not intended to offend my blonde-haired readers, just for comparison…lol.
BOOsh and his Regime have been giving blank checks to certain corporate interests that have government contracts. One company has received nearly $100 Million more than they were originally supposed to get. The lack of true congressional oversight has permitted many to get away with robbing the American Taxpayers blind!!
As I have noted before, our strong ties with
Pray for sanity, I beg of you.
Tonight's Conclusion
Who else suggests that we return this bad movie to the store and demand a refund? If only it were that easy.

Hey Daniel, I moved in to Ball State today, my dorm sucks really bad. I hate it, and I'm probably going to quit college.
LOL, sorry to hear that man. Please don't quit college, I think you've worked too hard for this just to give it all up because your "dorm sucks".

You still don't get it.
Is that seriously the best that you can come up with? No evidence to support your theory that I "don't get it". I'm done arguing with you if you aren't willing to back your case up.
