Our Congress must do it's job, or Checks and Balances will be forever lost
Do your patriotic duty and demand accountability NOW!!
Definite wake up call; Home sales have plummeted in 28 states!! Yeah, the so-called “healthy economy” is causing a regurgitation of sorts…hey, here’s a clue; Healthy Job Creation (you know, jobs in the MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, NOT SERVICES) leads to more home ownership. Maybe that would help our government change course…oh s**t, an uniformed public in addition to Fascists in all levels of government leads to willful ignorance/blind nationalistic ideology running all government policies!! Sorry middle class, your shafting will continue for a couple more decades; after all, abortion, gay marriage, and flag burning are much more important domestic issues right now!
Repugs in the Media (which they control anyway) are now trying to claim that Congressional Democrats’ recent opposition to the Repug Minimum Wage/Tax Cut scam is “proof of their partisanship”. They claim that that debacle was proof that Democrats have decided to work against Repugs on every issues, “even if they originally like the idea when proposed by Democrats”. The fact is that Democrats in Congress were doing their job – something that has been rare since the DLC took over Democratic Policies – in protecting real improvements in minimum wages from the Repug-favored tax cuts for the rich! No wonder why Repugs want to censor us (which you’ll hear more about later), because it is then that they can spread all the propaganda they want without fearing any debunk in response to their rhetorical bulls**t!!
There should be no doubts among all Americans – especially Democrats – that BOOsh has committed more than enough Impeachable crimes to be locked away for life, but some “Democrats” are actually chastising those who even consider investigating or looking into the possibility of such a thing. Harry Reid being one of them. Then again, that’s what happens when a right-wing organization - that answers to the same corporate sponsors that the Dictator does – known as the DLC controls the Democratic Party and it’s maneuvering. These people are just as bad as BOOsh for sitting and letting him get away with his crimes; traitors, all of them.
In a court ruling that undoubtedly rattled the BOOsh Regime; Federal Judge Taylor demanded an end to the Domestic Spy Program after declaring it unconstitutional!! BOOsh claims that he doesn’t have to comply because the program is within “executive authority”. However, he fails to back himself up on that and justifies it by saying that further disclosure on what makes this program legal could compromise “state secrets”. Always the typical Fascist rhetoric, “I’m not breaking the law, we need to protect our country from this endless threat – even at the expense of inalienable rights – but I can’t prove that I’m complying with the law because I could further endanger our fight against that infinite enemy.”
The Right Wing Media has its influence in every outlet, even CNN isn’t free from Right Wing Propaganda. Several CNN reporters made claims that the recent court ruling against the illegal spy program has been a “damaging blow” to a “key program” in the endless battle against “terrorists”. We should be used to this by now, but it is just more proof of First Amendment violations; these people aren’t reporting the facts – independent from government propaganda – they are merely servants of the people they report on.
There is no doubt the DLC was very upset with the Lamont victory over BOOsh and Corporate puppet Lieberman. They HATE progressivism and will fight to the bitter end to eliminate it. Why do they hate progressivism? Because it jeopardizes their corporate ties and would threaten to make society work for the “working class” again; not for corporate taskmasters!!
I agree with fellow liberals that demand the stripping of Lieberman’s seniority before November. In his current position, if Lieberman wins re-election – as a Right Wing Independent – and if the Democrats regain control of the Senate; then Lieberman could become the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee!! This committee could be in good position to investigate the Iraq War policies of the Dictator, especially the rhetoric that led to the war. Do you honestly think that this traitor – Lieberman – would actually investigate the guy that he recognizes as the “boss”? Riiiight…
Did you know that Repugs once altered a picture – using computer technology – to make it look as if John Kerry was a Satanist. In the picture, Kerry is shown “shaking hands” with the Leader of Satanism. Although it is very similar to a fake picture that portrays BOOsh reading an upside down book, it is still cheap. In fact, the two don’t even really compare because the fact of the matter is that these people tried to make Kerry look evil…not stupid!
The Federal Repugs’ efforts to strengthen the Federal Government and – undoubtedly – give BOOsh MORE power has struck great concern among 51 governors (including territorial). The movement is unconstitutional and is – without a doubt – an attempt to curtail the inherent sovereignty of the individual state governments. What is the move exactly? A provision of the defense bill that would grant BOOsh the authority to take control of all National Guard units in the event of a national disaster or “emergency”. Just knowing that this attempt to use Katrina in a way that will empower BOOsh is bad enough, but just about anything can constitute an “emergency”; especially with this bunch running the show!!
One thing that has always angered me is how the RIGHT WING MEDIA (there is NO Liberal Media) has sugar coated every illegal action by BOOsh. Talk about apologists!! The
In an interview conducted with a Repug Congressman; Fox News suggested that Congress create a “Federal Office of Media Censorship”!! WTF??!! Didn’t we fight against this kind of oppression with regards to the Soviets and Nazis? Oh, that’s right, this is the “war to terrorize”, and all bets are off!! F**king fascists!!
Don Imus of MSNBC recently expressed his frustrations with the Democratic Party for “bailing” out on Lieberman. He “threatened” to “ban” all Democrats from his show (like any Democrats with a BRAIN would think of being a guest on this obvious DLC puppet show) if they didn’t support Lieberman over the Democratic Nominee Ned Lamont!! Furthermore, Imus and his band of idiots insinuated that they might have some damaging information on Democratic Senator Chris Dodd; threatening to “reveal the secrets” if Dodd didn’t “get on board”. How is THIS a Liberal media?!!
I’m sure that - by now – you’ve heard about Senator George Allen calling his African-American opponent “macaca”. He claims that he didn’t know that this was a French Tunisian racial slur that refers to people of African descent as “monkeys”. Hmm, that’s funny, because all evidence of Allen’s past proves otherwise, after all, his own MOTHER is from that very region of the world!! Of course, the media – as always – will permit this Repug to get away with this, like they do in every case.
Hey, that “Shoot First” law is making life better already!! It seems that in
The lady that is Ney’s pick to replace him in the run for 18th District Congressman here in Ohio – State Senator Joy Padgett – once attacked a man that holds the record for having been held longer than any other American as a hostage by Hezbollah in the late-1980s. I once briefly talked about this, but here’s the deal. This woman attacked this born-again Christian man – who became renewed in his faith during the hostage situation – during their battle for her State Senate seat in 2004.
She claimed that a picture of him shaking hands with one of his captors was proof that he would be “weak on terror”. The picture was real, but it wasn’t out of weakness; this man was doing as God demands us by forgiving those that have sinned against him. He also – at the time of the picture – was demanding to know why he was targeted to become their hostage. Joy Padgett is a sorry excuse for an American, and an even worse human being. She doesn’t deserve to be our Congresswoman!!
One of Joe Lieberman’s so-called “democratic” supporters is a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Vice-Chairman!! Mark Pryor – of
Want proof that Lieberman is no more than a Repug in Independent clothing (seeing how he showed half of his true colors when he ignored the voice of the people in the Primary)? You have to look no further than the Dictator’s very own rhetoric. When asked who BOOsh supports in the Connecticut Race for Senate, Tony Snow said this:
“The president supports the democratic process in the state of
Do you think that BOOsh cares for our veterans? Well, would it help to know that he once bitched about Congress’s idea to raise the $6,000 gratuity death benefit for families of fallen soldiers by approximately 100% (calling it wasteful and unnecessary, I was unaware that the sacrifice of our soldiers was wasteful, no wait…rewarding it is wasteful, gotcha.) He wanted to cut “imminent danger pay” by 33%, Family separation allowance (allotted to families of soldiers in vicious battlefields) by 60%. Fellow Repugs at the time refused to even consider tax incentives on home ownership for soldiers. Furthermore, BOOsh proposed cutting soldier pay raises by about 51%. Hmm, BOOsh loves our soldiers…when they become cannon fodder in his ridiculous imperial conquests.
Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the Dictator, was not only a member of Skull and Bones (like BOOsh and his Father), but was also financially successful in large part due to his ties to the Nazis.
The Right Wing Media likes to claim that Democrats are “weak/soft on terror”. However, they ignore all evidence to the contrary. When Repug Saxby Chambliss defeated Democratic Senator Max Cleland (an honorable Vietnam vet that lost three limbs in that war); it was large due to the Chambliss attack ads that claimed Cleland was a “liar” that strongly “opposed” the Homeland Security Department. The fact is that Cleland was one of the biggest supporters of the DHS when BOOsh opposed its creation. Cleland only voted against the DHS when Repug poisonous provisions to the DHS creation bill were directed to negatively impact labor unions. Furthermore, Repugs still lie about Kerry “claiming” that a “global test” was required for US Military Action. Kerry never claimed such a thing – in fact – he actually said this:
“No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the
Do you see anything in that entire answer that indicates that we need “permission” to use our military? NO! What he was saying was that our government needs to be honest to the entire planet with regards to why we have a “need” to utilize our military. The “global test” was regarding to honesty, not “permission” as BOOsh and company implied misleadingly.
Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson’s lawyer plans to force Lord Cheney, Propaganda and Fascist Policy Deputy Chief of Minions Karl Rove, and Libby (the only man who’s been charged in the CIA Plame Scandal) to testify in court regarding each of their roles in the treasonous act of unveiling a COVERT AGENT’S Identity for political revenge at a time when she was investigating Iran’s proliferation of WMDs!! May the truth set them free!!
Don Imus’ producer recently commented that Ned Lamont looks a lot like the guy who’s “confessed” to Jon Benet Ramsey’s murder (I put that in quotation because I still strongly suspect the Ramsey’s were somewhat involved in that…but I digress)!! In fact, the producer implied that he “thought” the two were one and the same!! Then, Bernard McGuirk went on to say: “Is that who you want representing you,
A Right Wing, Repug organization has come out calling Lieberman a “martyr” in the aftermath of the recent Primary decision. Why is he a martyr? Because he “stands up for
Hey, Repugs in
MSNBC really totes the Repug propaganda machine (almost as much as Fox), especially Chris Matthews. Mr. Matthews has deceptively linked Terrorists to liberals (claiming that Leftists meet in “mosques … (or in other words) meetings that are associated with -- with their background.”), claims that Liberals basically hate
Furthermore, Matthews consistently utilizes his position as a major columnist for MSNBC to promote his younger – REPUG – brother in his campaign bid for Lt. Governor in
Lord Cheney’s recent attempt to make Ned Lamont look like an apologist for terrorism prompted criticism from the First and Former Secretary of Homeland Security; Tom Ridge. Hmm, a former puppet has criticized his former bosses. In fact, Ridge has also revealed other incredible facts, the falsehood of certain “terror alerts” for instance.
Just how much of a difference has the BOOsh Regime made when one looks at the issue of terrorism? Actually, he’s made quite the difference. Terrorist acts have actually multiplied by an unimaginable amount since BOOsh launched this so-called “war”. Way to go!! BOOsh’s motto should be similar to McDonald’s, but instead of the “billion served” it should be: “A Million Terrorists made every year”
Seymour Hersch accurately predicted in a recent article that BOOsh and his regime would see the cease-fire for
Does BOOsh really want to deter terrorist acts in the
If you have any doubt that BOOsh is an opportunist; then maybe you should watch the video piece that displays the shocking truth (not really shocking, I figured this out two years ago): BOOsh and company have used the terror alert for political reasons in times when certain reports of their corruption have led to them slipping in the opinion polls!! One such incident that “prompted a terror alert” was when Powell revealed that BOOsh had him present false documents before the UN in 2003. During the interview, a staff member of Powell’s rudely interrupted the interview and declared that the interview was “over” before Powell decided to reveal the truth. Do not become willfully ignorant, these bastards in power (including their allies in Congress) are traitors and are DANGEROUS!!
The recent attacks have led BOOsh to imply that we are “safer, but not safe yet”. His statements are implying that we will be “at war” with “terrorists” for “years to come”. Just read what he said about the “terrorists only advantage”:
“The enemy has got an advantage when it comes to attacking our homeland: They got to be right one time and we've got to be right 100 percent of the time to protect the American people.”
Translation: We must always use our unconstitutional methods of surveillance and other police actions because that “one time” can come at ANY TIME…beware…at least until November. To BOOsh, the “nature of the world we live in” is enough to keep us in this constant state of fear, at least until he and his allies achieve their goal of unchecked, unlimited power over the masses and most powerful military machine in the world!!
Hamid Karzai, the guy that BOOsh appointed as Afghan president because of his former employment by oil company; Unocal, has condemned the Imperial Forces for their recent slaughter of innocent Afghan Citizens and Police in an air strike that was supposedly meant for “escaping insurgents”. Not even BOOsh’s puppets are bowing before him as much anymore. Nearly five years of Occupation leads to growing frustrations, hence the reason for the growing Iraqi-style insurgency in
Hey, Repug media: BOOsh’s recent approval rating – according to Zogby – is at 34%!! Damn, the foiled British terror plot really gave him a …wait, no boost here…LMAO…he actually fell two percentage points since that news broke…LMAO!!!
In the aftermath of the Israeli invasion of
Some are implying that BOOsh and Blair fabricated the recently displayed terror plot in
1) It is apparent that the arrested suspects had no “functioning prototype” of this explosive device that they “planned” to use in their “attack”.
2) There hasn’t been any evidence of these suspects possessing the necessary tickets or even passports for that matter to board any flight whatsoever out of the country.
3) It seems that the police in
4) BOOsh didn’t use the disclosure of this “report” to reform our government’s policies regarding screening and all other Terrorist Deterrents; instead, he has used this whole fiasco for political gain to attack his opponents as being “weak” in his “war to terrorize”.
You know, I have to agree, this whole damn thing (after reading this report) smells funny. Almost as funny as the Regime’s constant use of all other Terrorist Alerts for political maneuvering. I can’t stress enough how important it is that this man be punished for constantly abusing his power, misleading the American people, committing numerous war crimes and pissing all over the rule of law (both American and International)!!
If there is any doubt – whatsoever – regarding BOOsh’s intentions to continue the Imperial march of war towards either/both Syria and/or Iran, you need not look further than the Regime’s recent rhetoric about their intentions to speed a proposal through the UN next month to “sanction” Iran for their negligence in complying with demands to “disarm and cease their nuclear ambitions”. BOOsh’s cronies cite the fact that
However, they are NOT an imminent threat to the
BOOsh is using his “war to terrorize” to try and get support for a recent maneuver to choke the life out of the Freedom of Information Act. In fact, the Dictator has offered a One Million Dollar reward for anyone that can find a way to interpret the law in a way that could clear the way for either kill FOIA or limit it severely! When President L.B. Johnson signed the FOIA in 1966; he wrote a signing statement that has become the focal point of BOOsh’s quest to limit the public’s access to information. Apparently, Johnson stated that the public may only be entitled to information that doesn’t endanger national security.
Let me point something out here: Observe (once more) the First Amendment of the Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The FOIA was merely an affirmation of the First Amendment promise that the people will always possess the power to observe the actions of their servants in government and keep them in check!! Signing Statements can not be used as a Presidential Interpretation of law. Only the courts have that authority!! If Johnson intended to change this law, then he should’ve vetoed it. If he was trying to change the meaning of the law, then he was no less a violator of constitutional law than BOOsh is today!!
The First Amendment strictly prohibits congress from ever passing any law that would curtail the right and power of the citizens to observe the actions of our government and keep them in check. There are NO EXCEPTIONS, if there were, the Constitution would say so!! Our government needs to remember that this is a Democratic – Republic. What does that entail? It means that (Republic) it is a government that serves the people (Democratic) elected by the people!! Hence, these people in office are our bitches (to put it bluntly), they are NOT OUR MASTERS!!!
Severely poor handling of the military has led many to speak out against Dumb-ass Rums-failed; especially repugs. Then again, this is all – in turn – a reflection of BOOsh’s character because he adores and treasures the work that this man is doing. Why don’t people just wake up already? (People being Repugs, you can’t love the man’s actions, but yet complain about one of his underlings without holding the man who hired him accountable for that incompetence...it’s just ignorant and blind.)
BOOsh’s “war” in
Think the Repugs love our soldiers? Think they are really looking out for Iraqi people’s best interest? Check again; Depleted Uranium – the waste of regular uranium that’s left over after the creation of nuclear weapons – is a favorite new toy for Rums-failed’s military. They put it on artillery shells, they armor the tanks with it and it leaves behind a radioactive trail that will outlive all life on earth!! Many of our returning soldiers that have been living in these areas where this weapon was used have come back with a laundry list of new illnesses. Imagine what the innocent civilians are going through!! How is this not a war crime?
Stop loss? Is it justified or an obvious abuse of the trust of our bravest? The latter is fact, because BOOsh and company simply don’t care for the people fighting their Imperial Conquest!! Around 300
The Government Accountability Office has released a report that criminal activity by military recruiters has doubled in certain cases over the past two years. Apparently, recruiters have used false documents more than what they did two years ago, the number of those REPORTED incidents grew by 33% from 2004. The incidents of sexually related REPORTED misconduct grew by roughly 130% from 2004!! This is the end-result of an immoral war that was based on a pack of lies. An immoral war that is strained for help, leaving the military division that has suffered the most, needing the most. Therefore, recruiters for that division resort to illegal tactics in order to meet their quota. As one great American once said: “Immoral Behavior breeds Immoral Behavior”. Repugs set the standards, and therefore encourage lawlessness!
The Military – in addition to the scandal clad recruiting office – has been enlisting the highest amount of the lowest scoring recruits in nearly three decades. Category Four recruits will make up roughly four percent of this year’s total enlistments. This is up from the policy of the 90s where the “highest scoring” recruits were the most valuable, because they perform better in training and in battle. Low scoring recruits are more likely to commit the atrocities that have been heard of or seen in Haditha and Abu Ghraib. For shame…
How would you like to know that certain members of the military are training young children in a course called “Back to

Much, much better for our government to be silent as this monster builds strength? Why? So you can smother us with the metaphorical “pillow” as we “sleep”? I don’t propose engaging China in a fight (seeing how they have the largest standing military in the world, in addition to about 300 Million more of-age draft ready citizens that could be assembled at the snap of a finger), but I do propose that we “sleep” with “one eye opened” at least. LMAO…
The Constitution means squat to Repugs and their allies in Federal Courts. A Federal Judge – appointed by BOOsh himself – has ruled that it is ok for BOOsh to sign an unconstitutional bill. The recently “passed” spending bill that came into controversy was only VOTED ON BY ONE HOUSE OF CONGRESS. Both Houses voted on the measure, but they had passed two different versions, as a matter of fact there was a difference of $2 Billion!! BOOsh elected to rush and sign the one that promised cuts in Medicare coverage for certain prescriptions – being the evident asshole that he is – ignoring the Constitutional law that says that BOTH HOUSES must concur on the SAME BILL before it receives a Presidential Approval.
Repugs justify a similar ruling from Federal Courts in the 1980s, but they completely ignore the fact that that was about a bill that Both Houses of Congress had passed identical versions of!! What this decision warrants is a policy where the Speaker of the House and the Vice President (president of the senate) can sign off on a bill that has only been passed by one house before it is sent to the Oval Office, astonishing!! Basically, with this precedent, Repugs only have to control the House, retain the White House, and they’ll be able to pass whatever they want and justify it with this decision!!!
Oh yeah, one more note, the judge that issued this warning was an associate of Kenneth Starr’s during the Investigation that led to
Tonight's Conclusion
Our Constitution is constantly under the attack of these right wing Facsists...
It is at this time that I quote Benjamin Franklin:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither"
I can't stress enough how much that quote means to me, and to the survival of our great experiment that is the Democratic Republic of the United States of America...
Til next time...
