Hatching the truth about the Deceptive Egg of Satan's lies

 Easter is – IN FACT – a pagan celebration. One of it’s origins lies within an ancient belief that pagans had to celebrate the death and resurrection of their god “Attis” in order to ensure that their crops and children would be healthy. It is believed that the Catholic Church thought that it would be better to convert this holiday into a “christian” celebration so pagans wouldn’t be reluctant to convert themselves. May I remind you all (like in the “True Christmas Story” entry) that God’s Word does NOT have to be altered in any way to win people over. If God’s love alone doesn’t convert a non-believer, then that person’s heart is hardened.

 Adonis was another Pagan god whose death and resurrection were celebrated during the spring equinox. However, the most interesting facts rest with the history of the Roman God Attis (as mentioned before). This was especially important because Attis was a vegetation god and it was believed that he rested throughout the winter and was coming back to life at this time. Immediate connection with the Roman/Pagan belief for the winter solstice/Christmas where the sun god was reborn to mark the end of winter’s worst days.

 The practice of candlelight during Easter came from an old pagan ritual of lighting fires to scare away the gods of thunder, storm and tempest. The Easter Bunny and Eggs come from pagan signs of fertility which celebrate the beginning of longer days, while the word “Easter” comes from the Babylonian Pagan god “Ishtar” which was a fertility god.

 In the Old Testament, we even see the Israelites getting punished for their evil practices of celebrating this Babylonian god. On top of all of this the so-called “Holy Trinity” and belief in a “Queen of Heaven” comes from Ishtar. Ishtar was seen as the holy virgin mother or mother goddess figure. She is the goddess of war, and is directly linked to the golden calf that cursed the Israelites at Mount Sinai. One of the names of this god is “Sin” (also linked to Satan himself) which is where our understanding of the word sin comes from.

 The practice of Easter as we know it has its roots in pagan rituals throughout ancient pagan religions stemming from Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and even the Orients! In fact, Easter alone is probably the main reason that the Worship of “Mother Mary” ever became a part of “Christian” belief. Just because the fact that before the mixing of Christian and Pagan beliefs in Catholicism; there was NO worship of the woman that was selected as Christ’s earthly vessel.  Had Constantine never created Catholicism, there may have never been any worship of this woman.

 St. Paul actually condemned the worship of “Mary” in the book of Acts (19:24-35), but no one likes to look at Paul’s teachings or the words of Christ even.

 Another interesting fact in this whole mess is that Sunday itself is derived from an ancient pagan tradition. The fact that Sunday is held up as the Sabbath by many comes from when the Romans held it up as the day of the Sun. Sunday was named after the Sun God of Rome and therefore would actually make it bad for Christians to hold it up on a pedestal. This is disheartening for me because I have always held Sunday up as the holiest day of the week, but now I have to agree with those that declare Friday as the Sabbath Day. That’s the beauty about being Liberal; I’m open minded and willing to learn new things…which lead me to correct my thinking from time to time.

 The Virgin Birth of Christ was mocked by pagan beliefs, but when Catholicism came around, these early “church” leaders mocked Christ’s birth and resurrection by mixing our beliefs with pagan beliefs. It was believed in the practice of Easter that there was an impregnation by the Sun God followed by a death and resurrection…sounds familiar? Also, the French delivered a present to our country in the 1800’s that was in the model of this Goddess…you might know who she is by the crown that she wears in New York City. – The Bible strongly condemns any worship of Pagan gods, or practices of pagan rituals even if we use them to worship him, especially in the 12^th book of Deuteronomy.

 

Allow me to quote myself from the “True Christmas Story” entry: “What does the Bible say about Christmas (or Easter in this case)? Nothing. We were never instructed by any of God's prophets - or Christ himself - to celebrate Christmas. It became a Christian Tradition when Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, and sought to retain his pagan traditions alongside his newfound beliefs.

 What did Jesus say to the Pharisees and Scribes about their hypocrisy?

Matthew 23:25-33: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"”

 Now, with that said…what do you plan to do with all that you have learned today?

Tonight's Conclusion

 My pretyping is behind schedule as you all know, but I recently celebrated my 21st birthday so bare with me here. I will be up to date soon, I assure you all. Keep an eye on the Valerie Plame story with BOOsh and Cheney all tied up in it now. Also the immigration battle, the defense of Dumb-ass Rumsfailed and much more...things seem to be getting bad in BOOsh World.

 Until next time...

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

Not quite done...BOOsh's World Part Two

 In an act of carelessness; a corporation called LifeCare reimbursed, gave raises to and specially treated certain employees for contributing money to political campaigns!! What the hell!!

 Repugs in Congress are attempting to grant military chaplains “the right” to pray in the name of Christ, but Chaplains aren’t taking their orders without putting up a fight. I have a few problems with all of this. First of all, Chaplains are instructed to make our soldiers feel better about waging war. As a Christian, I could never take such a job because there is NOTHING in the Bible that justifies war…NOTHING!! Second of all, the First Amendment prohibits Congress from making laws that promote any religion at all; in the interest of protecting our right to worship if we want, who we want, when we want. I disagree with any government official leading anyone into prayer while working as a public servant…our tax dollars are not to be used to proselytize, they are to be used for service in the interest of the Public as a whole!

 If Congress passes a law that BOOsh likes and sends the wrong version of that bill to BOOsh’s desk; the moron will most likely sign it unless he is alerted otherwise!! This is more of a sign of BOOsh’s laziness (unwillingness to read a bill before signing it) than anything else.

 Patrick Tillman, the football player-turned hero who was shot and killed in Afghanistan a couple years ago has had much coverage. However, his father doesn’t really approve of how the government seems to be covering up the facts about his son’s death. Apparently, Mr. Tillman was shot and killed by his own troops when they “mistook” him for the enemy. He was shot in the head…shot three times…after reportedly screaming out his own name and pleading for his life. The military wants the hero’s father to keep this silent, but he isn’t going to adhere to the warnings. What is the government trying to cover up?

 The FBI may have been one of the primary reasons that 9/11 was permitted to take place. According to the account of one agent’s testimony, FBI officials in Washington purposely blocked any movement to share information of vital importance that would have unveiled the hijack plots weeks before the attacks took place. Hmm…officials in Washington blocked movement that would’ve saved lives … sounds too coincidental to me.

 Groups that give food to the homeless and peacefully oppose corporations are considered to be on a watch list in the FBI as possible terrorist organizations...what the hell?!!

 A recent test by the Government Accountability Office gave the BOOsh Regime a failing grade when deadly materials that could be used for several dirty bombs were able to get past our security at the Canadian and Mexican borders. This is a shame because it only further proves that the B.I.C. and his crew are more concerned with money and preserving their grip on power than they are with protecting the people they govern!!

 A recent scuffle over the rights of foreigners in our court system led a list of Generals to demand that Antonin Scalia withdraw from a Supreme Court case involving one foreigner that was immorally forced through military trials by BOOsh himself. Scalia believes that no foreigners have legal rights under our constitution, but isn’t that statement a contradiction to the Declaration of Independence statement that all men are created equal? I mean, if our founding fathers believed that all men were created equal; then why would a person be deprived of any legal rights by our government simply because they weren’t a citizen of this nation? Is anyone human being more valuable than another simply based on their nationality? How are we supposed to promote our way of life to people across the globe if we allow extremist ideologies - like that of Scalia to - run our government?

 It seems that the unpopular stance of the Homeland Security Department has led to a lack of members. The areas that suffer the most in this deprivation are some key leadership positions that have been left vacant for months. So…BOOsh is permitting the very bureaucracy that was created to protect us from another 9/11 to just be led by a bunch of phantoms? We all know where his priorities lie!!

 Speaking of Homeland Security…it seems like there is a lack of coordination amongst regional leaders that are in charge of coming up with a plan to share information and prevent another 9/11. This is the biggest mess I’ve heard of in my lifetime.

 How can we take a stance against torture around the world when “bad eggs” in our own Imperial Forces tend to use these inhumane tactics as well? It’s hypocritical, and anyone that would call themselves a true defender of democracy/freedom or even anyone that claims to be Christian should outright condemn these practices!! Don’t any of you read history or actually try to understand the bible? Apparently not.

 BOOsh claims that we will settle for nothing less than “complete victory” while underlining the need for more sacrifice and fighting in between now and that “victory”. BOOsh used Nixon-style rhetoric by stating that their will be no honor if we “pull out”. This kind of bulls*** is what used to spew out during the Vietnam War to claim that our soldiers will have died in vain if their mission wasn’t completed. However, I say this to that; No Soldier ever dies in vain when they are serving their country. Soldiers give their lives for their families, friends and fellow countrymen, and no matter what the outcome of any war is; NOTHING will ever make that soldier’s sacrifice less honorable!! “Leaders” send us to war for lies, but soldiers always sacrifice with honor.

 Voters in Wisconsin passed a resolution that demands that BOOsh set a timetable for withdrawal. Although the City Council unanimously opposed the measure; the city still sent a clear message to D.C.; GET OUT OF IRAQ!!!

 As Libby’s lawyers attempt to clear his name and point there fingers towards the State Department in the Plame case; the case could further inflame the issue of whether or not BOOsh misled this nation into the Iraq War. There’s a connection here that is very evident; in an effort to cover up the lies about the imminent threat that Saddam posed, the Regime felt the need to punish one of the whistleblowers by revealing his wife’s secret identity while still on a covert mission!! Brilliant!!

 The VA system is complaining the never ending flood of veterans coming in for mental or physical help are overwhelming the neglected system. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has cursed many of these returning brave young men and women and it saddens me to see that very few of them are getting the treatment they need. For shame.

 The B.I.C. marked the third anniversary of his Imperial Quest in Mesopotamia by not uttering the word “war” or even mentioning the ongoing violence at all. The coward in denial painted a rosy picture with images of “progress” and coming “stability” in the war-torn colony of his vast empire. His remarks were merely echoed by every one of his puppets throughout the Regime who all trumpeted the rosy Iraq image and degraded any critics as being pessimistic.

 BOOsh claims that he sees something in the Iraq War that no one else seems to see; of course!! See, BOOsh doesn’t see the truth, because he doesn’t care for the truth. The fact is that the public is paying attention to the truth that we are all exposed to on a daily basis. BOOsh ignores it all in favor of the things that he wishes to see instead of what he needs to see. As a so-called leader, BOOsh should be open-minded on issues like this, because that would allow him to change course when the current one is taking us down a path to destruction. Then again, that would be if we were talking about a man that actually gives a sh** about the fate of anyone but himself.

 Roughly fifty anti-war demonstrators marked the evil anniversary with the delivery of a fake coffin to Dumb-ass Rums-failed’s office at the Pentagon. They were immediately arrested for crossing a temporary barrier that was put up, and were given citations that require their appearance in federal court. At least someone is taking a stand for democracy!!

 The suspicion that Imperial Forces plan on staying in Iraq permanently continues to grow amongst our own soldiers and the Iraqi people. What is feeding fuel to the fire? Well maybe it’s the image of small American-style towns/bases that have fast food restaurants, auto dealers and other consumer friendly markets. Maybe it’s the plans for other bases that will mirror the already existent ones; coupled with the thought that our Empire’s bitches in the Iraqi Puppet Government might request that their Imperial masters stick around to help fight off those pesky Sunnis. Or; it could be the thought that the Empire could benefit from the strategically advantaged position of bases in Iraq in a possible conflict with Iran. These Iraqis don’t trust our government, and I don’t blame them!!

 LICOPAC and the Democratic Party are wondering why many people are saying that the “Democrats aren’t the answer”…well you wanna know why? Here’s why; the Democratic Leadership Council, Blue Dog Democrats, and Dixiecrats. These traitors to Progressive, Liberal, Democratic values often compromise the things that we fight for in favor of greed. This is the group a traitors that spawned Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton, Zell Miller, Mary Landrieu, and the list goes on. These are the cowardly DINOs that shutter in fear when Repugs claim that we are weak on security and pacifists; these are the traitors that bow to their corporate masters when the claim of us being socialists or communists comes up. These are the fools that submitted and voted for the illegal war in Iraq, because they feared losing their power. Instead of doing things that keep you in power, why don’t you idiots stand up for what’s right and sacrifice that power if needed?!! These people are saying that our party isn’t the answer because of the lack of will to defend the truth, to stand up for democracy and protect the constitution; THESE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF SUPPORTING THE REPUGS BITCHES!!! Stop being slaves to the right wing and stand strong in defense of the Left Wing values that have made our party so great and last as the oldest party in the world!! Stand up, damn you, or you all will be the reason that our party follows the fate of the Whigs and opens the doors for the Repugs to completely follow in the footsteps of their National Socialist Party idols!!

 In a remarkable story that got little or no coverage at all; Congresswoman Barbara Lee was successful in adding an amendment to the new Iraq War Spending Bill that bars any of the new money from being spent on building permanent bases in Iraq. Of course, this very short article points out the the Repugs that disagree with the amendment may have chosen not to oppose it this time in favor eliminating the amendment behind closed doors in a near-future debate on the issue. That’s how the Iraqi Cookie Crumbles…

 A country once assured that the mighty Empire would protect them has now been told by the United States to go f**k themselves and fight their civil war alone. Sad but true.

 BOOsh has also stated clearly that he has no plans of pulling troops out of Iraq while he occupies the White House; instead, he is passing the buck to the next poor bastard to become President. I hate you.

 The war in Iraq has destabilized a region that was already having problems because of the debacle between the Israelis and Palestinians. I want to ask you BOOsh supporters, as well as everyone else that supported this war; are you all F**KING STUPID? I mean, there’s all the evidence in the world that this was based on a lie and was a bad idea, and you nimrods ignored all of it because we “needed to flex our muscle”. F**k you!!

 In a hilarious moment where BOOsh broke down like a robot that just had water thrown all over it; BOOsh started stuttering mixing up talking points about Iraq and the Taliban and Al-Qaeda after Helen Thomas asked him simply why we were in Iraq…funny huh?

 BOOsh’s family seems to also be getting rich from their investments in defense contracting companies. We were warned by Socrates himself that “all wars are fought for money”…no matter what the “justification”.

 Recently released audio and video tapes of Regime meetings in Saddam-ruled Iraq show how frustrated the leaders of that country had become with the endless accusations that they continued to possess WMDs. You even see a Saddam that became irate with the fact that UN Inspectors confiscated equipment that would’ve been useful for medical needs. Saddam hadn’t been a threat to us since 1991, and even then; the threat quite small compared to china and North Korea!

(More on Iraq in next entry)

 BOOsh Regime officials recently kicked a delegation of Cubans out of an American owned Hotel in Mexico. This was based on the 40 year old Trade Embargo on the low-influential Cuban government. May I remind everyone that this ban was initiated in response to Cuba’s strong ties with the Soviet Union combined with their efforts in 1962 to get Nuclear Missiles from that government? The Soviet Union is no longer existent and Cuba is ten times weaker than they were back then…what’s the purpose of an embargo that hasn’t resulted in an ousting of the government in place? Why neglect Cuba where we endorse Saudi Arabia? This isn’t about human rights, this is about getting the Anti-Castro-Cuban vote! Stop playing politics with people’s lives!! Plus…in addition to all of this; we’ve pissed Mexico off for infringing on their sovereignty (self-governance)!! Great Job numb-skulls!!

 When any country makes a bad decision; it is the duty of the country to pay the consequences for it and live up to their responsibilities to do right to make up for their earlier wrong doing. Agent Orange was one of many very tragic mistakes in the Vietnam war…our government needs to admit fault and help those that are suffering today as a result of that horrific occurrence.

Tonight's Conclusion

 After all of that, I still have more to talk about...so stay tuned. Plus, I plan on a Special Easter Expose (like the Christmas Expose last December) this Sunday. May the truth about Easter come out!!

 Until Then...

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

First of all...

I've been handling some personal matters as of late and have been pretty busy, but I have been pre-typing when I can. "OSM" has had some progress; I received a call from (I think they said they were) the ""American Cancer Association". They said that they read the "holding out hope" article that the Advocate posted in December and were sending an invite to my mom to try and help her out. I will keep you all posted.

 Other than that; I've been staying as active as my personal life will allow me in local politics (tonight is a Licking County Democratic Meeting), trying to start a Union at work and doing my damnedest to get Newark Citizens to sign my petition to urge Council to - in turn - urge Newark's two Congressman to support H.Res.635 (look it up or visit my petition to read and possible sign). Either way...on to half of the report that I have typed so far...

Whacky world of BOOshism...

 A recent rally in front of a DINO Congresswoman’s office was hosted to call for BOOsh’s Impeachment. The demonstrators were demanding that Mrs. Herseth support H.Res.635. The cowardly DINO assured the right wing and the local Repugs that she doesn’t support the measure but that we should “keep an eye out on the Executive Branch”. OUR EYES HAVE BEEN ON THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH!!! The bastard that is in charge of the branch is breaking the law on a daily basis and has been since he stole the white house…WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!! The Repug Chairman of the local party where Herseth’s office is made a statement that it is a said day in our country when people start to suggest impeachment, and that we need to stay united to fight terrorism. I’ll tell you what a said day is, when victory in elections becomes more important than defending liberty and democracy; all because defending those things will somehow make us look weak!! Shame on the DLC and the Repugs!!

 The fact that DINOs (you know, those fake Democrats that only care about power and money) are waiting to see what the media says about Impeachment is a big part of the problem. This is how Fascist Dictators in other countries have been able to rise, because the only people that had the power to question or challenge their abuses refused to do so in fear of retribution. The National Democratic Party is beginning to find itself on my bad side.

 The Media and Repugs are in the midst of attempting to suppress any movement towards censuring or impeaching the Dictator. They make claims that we shouldn’t try to hold him accountable simply because he is “commander in chief in a time of war”. Sounds a lot like the garbage that used to fall out of Pro-Hitler Germans when he was rising to power in the 1930s. I don’t fear these assholes, because the fact of the matter is this; BOOsh has violated the Constitution and has broken a list of other laws; the Constitution requires that Congress punish any violators of our most important document. They took an oath and they MUST honor it!!

 Mighty BOOsh calls us cowards and says that we should stand up and fight the things that we don’t support (he says this alongside some distorted B.S. that basically singles us out as being anti-American); I AGREE!! Fight BOOsh’s illegal war, illegal spy program and his other illegal practices that he has “justified” with his “war on terror”!!! IMPEACH, CENSURE AND REMOVE HIM!!!

 Brave Americans everywhere need to stand up and demand impeachment. One man did in Vermont and started a movement throughout the state that led to their sole Congressman endorsing and co-sponsoring “635”. Stop cowering and fight!!

 The list of constitutional violations just seems to never end. I mean, BOOsh wishes that he had the powers of all three branches, but NO ONE seems to want to speak up and do something about this man’s questionable and illegal behavior…well, I’m fed up.

 The impeachment movement has been getting more recognition though, so I congratulate my fellow patriots across this nation that are demanding accountability!

 The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing about Feingold’s Censure Resolution. Arlen Specter had said that while he questions the legality of the spy program; he opposes censure. Why? Well, he’s afraid of pissing his fellow Repugs off. He’s as much a servant to the right wing as DINOs are. These people are not honoring their oath of office and should be ashamed of themselves.

 Yet another Vermont town joins the crowd…IMPEACH THE BASTARD!!

 If your Doctor or Lawyer is out of the country at any point and could be “mistaken” for having a connection with al-Qaeda, a report has revealed that your communications with that doctor or lawyer could and/or probably has been monitored by BOOsh….where’s the privacy act these days?

 In his usual attempt to try and isolate dissenters of his policies; BOOsh addresses those who are opposed to his policies as “some people” (straw men). Don’t let it divert our attention from our primary goals. I am a proud member of the “some people” community and will continue to fight because I love Democracy, Liberty and Freedom!!

 Pension payments will suffer a loss of 150-160 Billion dollars over the next three years if Repug leaders in congress have their way. That’s how you reward America’s working class?

 Why is our government so afraid to fund a program that would train scientific and mathematic engineers? China, South Korea and Japan seem to have their program straight…now we need to get ours in line.

 The Repugs here in Ohio don’t want to be anywhere near BOOsh, out of fear that his endlessly sinking ship will drag the Ohio Repugs down with him. Sad…

 Despite a typical BOOsh-style promise made a couple years ago that BOOsh would aim to try and track mad cow disease; BOOsh has been slacking. No surprise here, just thought I’d comment on it.

 Do you believe that BOOsh likes dissenting opinions and supports our first amendment right to express our opposition to him? Well, it appears that the Dictator has a history of tossing citizens out of meetings just because they may have a different opinion on any important matter.

 As a “disruptor” in our current BOOsh World; we are more likely to be told to sit down and shut up when we take a stand to speak out against corruption. A group of people got tickets for and attended a BOOsh Social Security Privatization promotion town hall-style meeting over a year ago and were kicked out by the Regime. Why were they ousted? Because of a bumper sticker that merely opposed the Dictator’s foreign policies. Is this still America? These “meetings” are paid for by taxes and therefore every American should reserve the right to attend and DISSENT if they feel that it is necessary. What is the point of the First Amendment if our rights guaranteed by it aren’t protected?!!

 There is video proof now that could back up the strong allegations of BOOsh being wired every time he goes before the people and/or the press. This is just too good.

 The BOOsh Regime seems to be having some marital troubles. Members have been resigning, getting indicted, shooting lawyers, and unveiling the names of covert agents to the media. This group of cowards and brownnosers is the most despicable crowd I’ve ever seen.

 Repugs in Congress are now falsifying congressional records by inserting imaginary “debates” into the record. This is absurd!! Why the hell would you want to lie about something like this? Maybe the Repugs in Congress are trying to make it look like some of them are trying to stand up for their constituents when - in fact – they are too lazy and have no intentions of doing so when it counts.

(Pay attention to the BOOsh scandal about Valerie Plame...I will comment on it soon)

Tonight's Conclusion

 That's it for now...I have read the Gopher's recent update and have found it to be funny so far...LOL. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for the family. I'll post the other half of my pretyped update in the coming days...lol.

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

Pre-type still in progress...many distractions

 I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues...not all have been negative. I even have some good news for "OSM"; Mom has found another option, but it's going to be costly; it requires her temporarily going to the Cleveland area and taking her SSI with her for the duration of this "rehab"-style process. I'm happy for her that she has found this, but I'm worried about the rent, because every dime of the SSI pays for it. However, I'm optimistic; God will guide us through.

 Another reason for the delay is that there have been a lot of initeresting things in the news that everyone should pay attention to. Between my "world updates", I encourage everyone to scan Yahoo News, International News, (even go to Michael Moore's website, because he always does a copy-paste of a news report that he links to on his site) and Democrats.com.

 I will complete this pretype as soon as possible...but in the mean time; keep your eyes open.

 Oh yes...before I go...I want to say Happy Birthday to Shawn Murrey...hope your having fun in Florida man.

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

I'm in the midst of pre-typing an update...so please bare with me. (Sorry for further delay; a lot of personal issues)

Bright spots are few and far in between...

 This will make you sleep tight tonight; the United Nations has reported that Global Warming causing greenhouse gases have reached their highest levels in the past couple years. Of course, trying to convince dumb-ass Repugs to change course on Global Warming is like trying to teach a blind man how to hunt; it just doesn’t work.

 The brave American Patriot, Senator Russ Feingold, has proposed a resolution to censure (strongly condemn) BOOsh for his illegal spy program. Feingold points out that nothing in the Patriot Act nor in the Authorization of force in response to 9/11 gave BOOsh this authority. BOOsh has failed to keep the Congressional Intelligence Committees fully informed on ALL intelligence activities, which is in violation of the National Security Act!! (Ohh…two broken laws so far…FISA and the N. Security Act!!) BOOsh has misled Congress and the public with regards to this program, and although they have rarely been rejected a warrant by the FISA court since 9/11; they NEVER sought a warrant for this spy program. This is too much power for one branch of government, and the ones responsible for breaking the law should be held accountable…not in 2007, but NOW!!

 Repugs and the Right-Wing Media have already started attacking Feingold for standing up in defense of liberty. They have called him “crazy” for his resolution and have set a standard of name calling for anyone that follows suit behind the brave Senator. A little message to my fellow Democrats: I too want our party to regain control of the Legislative Branch this year, but your determination to do so seems to have distorted your mission and obligation to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. If victory must come at the expense of liberty; THEN I MOST DEFINITELY DON’T WANT IT!!

 The Democrats in Ann Arbor seem to get it. The Local Party Council there has passed a resolution that urges for BOOsh’s impeachment, and a call for their All-Democratic City Council to follow suit. Some cowardly DINOs (Democrats In Name Only) have come out saying that we should wait on feedback from “National Democratic Leaders” before taking further action and focus most of our attention on the Congressional Elections this year…once again I have to stress this: How can we claim to stand up for Freedom, Liberty and Democracy if we fail to stand up in defense of it out of fear of looking “out of the mainstream”?

 As Donna Brazile has warned; Democrats need to stand strong in defense of liberty. We must not abandon our obligation to honor and protect the laws of the land in favor of appealing to the center and regaining power in Congress or any other branch. I don’t care if every President there’s been had had impeachment proceedings brought up against him/her; it doesn’t and shouldn’t change the fact that the Constitution plainly lays out the duty that Congress has to protect that very document and the people of this great nation!! We must not send a message of condoning illegal behavior just because of “political correctness”, because it will set a standard of what we expect out of every future occupant of the Oval Office. Beware of cowardice and procrastination; it only aides the enemies of freedom.

 Feingold is justified in pointing out the cowardice of the DINOs. It seems that the DLC has so blinded our so-called leaders that they no longer feel that we should always stand up for our Constitution…only when it benefits us in the polls. Rebuke the image of cowardice and join Feingold in his resolution to condemn the B.I.C. for his unconstitutional actions!!

 The New York Times has come out with a deceitful article that has claimed that Repugs only stand to gain from Impeachment aspirations. The Boogeyman apparently spells his name I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T now.

 When a recent pollster asked a little over a thousand people if they’d support the Senate voting to censure BOOsh for the Spy Program, a majority said yes. They’re needs to be more polls on this, only the polls need not be biased in either direction. However, the result of the poll should not determine whether or not members of Congress do their job and honor their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution!!

 Congressman Bernie Sanders (the lone Independent member of the House) of Vermont has signed on as a co-sponsor of John Conyers’ resolution that calls for an investigation that could lead to BOOsh’s impeachment. This was in response to the strong demands to support the resolution that came from five Vermont towns in the past month. Great job!!!

 Just a little food for thought; Senator Russ Feingold’s approval rating has jumped 30 points since he proposed to censure BOOsh…how’s that for a public backlash?!!

 Following in the footsteps of the nationwide effort of the public to strongly urge the support of BOOsh’s Impeachment, I’ve created my own petition for the citizens of Newark to sign. In the event that I reach or surpass one hundred signatures; I will present the petition to Newark City Council issue a demand that they pass a resolution that echoes the demands of the other nationwide resolutions that urge their Congressmen/women to support/co-sponsor John Conyers’ proposal. We must not back down, STAND AND FIGHT FOR LIBERTY!!

 Sandra Day O’Connor warned that the current right-wing movement to take over the courts is taking our country down a path to dictatorship. She declared that we should always be vigilant against any alliance that tries to strong-arm the courts, because that is usually one of the first steps in the degradation of society into an Authoritarian Dictatorship. Take it from Mrs. O’Connor; we need to stand up to the rise of Fascism!!

 Kenneth Mehlman has been sending fundraising letters via-email for the American Fascist Party in the guise of an important notice from the Internal Revenue Service that warns against discarding the letter and recommending a reply. Cheap tactics!! Don’t these assholes know when to stop using fear??

 Dumb-ass Rums-failed has made over 5 million dollars from his investments in a company that has boosted in profits since the scare over the Avian Flu erupted a couple years ago. People are scared out of their wits and a Repug makes a butt-load of money…sounds all too common to me.

 Although Repugs created the 16^th Amendment that permitted and initiated a federal income tax; they are now strongly opposed to it. Their proposals to repeal the 16^th Amendment would result in an equal bill for every American. Every American shares a debt of 20,000 dollars a year each when you evenly divide the National Debt amongst the public. Families of five (Parents and three children or one parent and four children) owe $100,000 (because when someone in your household can’t pay their share, you pay it for them). Of course, the Americans that make over 50,000 dollars a year would have little – if any – trouble paying this debt. However, what about the others? 90% of the Population would pay much more in taxes than what they do now, officially completing the process of shifting the tax burden from the rich to the poor. Compassionate Conservatism shows compassion to the wealthy and conserves the enslavement of the poor.

 Didn’t BOOsh’s mamma ever teach him that you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t be sure to keep? In 2004, BOOsh promised universally available broadband for Americans by 2007…it’s 2006 and we are nowhere near that goal. Don’t blame people like me, we didn’t vote for him.

 A Repug congressman has called on BOOsh to surround himself with a “new team”. He expressed some concerns with the kind of people that BOOsh has put in the Regime, but what else did you expect from a Dictator? Do Dictators like to be told that they should reconsider policy? No. Simple as that; BOOsh surrounded himself with ass-kissers that will tell him what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.

 Repugs recently expressed their love for our veterans by refusing to allow a measure to increase funding for Veterans medical services to pass. Why? Mostly because one of the requirements in the measure was that it be paid for with certain rollbacks in giveaways to corporations. Why not allow the corporate people to put on some uniforms and go to war for us so the services can then be funded? Sounds logical to me.

 A petition drive has been launched by a Pro-Choice group that will attempt to stall the Anti-Choice law in South Dakota. This is all further opening that door that could lead to a Supreme Court that just may strip women of their reproductive rights.

 The heartless Repug plan that gives the shaft to seniors and some of the disabled when it comes to medication will leave more stranded when transition period deadlines pass in the next two months. BOOsh and his fellow Repugs in Congress oppose an extension of these deadlines. So, what else do you propose for these people that are having problems with the program? Just go without medication? I hate this evil bunch of people, I REALLY DO.

 A voice that parrots and therefore prompts everything BOOsh says has been discovered from an audio tape of the B.I.C. speaking. Caught on tape!!!

 BOOsh has now fallen to 33% approval rating…the lowest since Nixon. (Again) What are the Democrats afraid of?

 Repugs led the way to pass a bill in Congress for a 2.8 Trillion Dollar budget that has increased our National Debt to the point that it is now around 9 Trillion Dollars!! Just brilliant, continue to refuse rolling back the tax cuts to pay for BOOsh’s policies and pass the bill on to future generations!! Stupid ass Repugs!!

 There were only a few good things about the horrendous budget package; including an amendment that slightly passed to increase funding to LIHEAP. Democrats fought hard for this measure and were victorious the other day, I commend them on this, but condemn their inaction elsewhere…you know what I mean.

 Repugs are so funny to watch when they compete against each other, because they are like ravenous wolves. They tear right into each other and leave the leftovers for the General elections. They reveal their true character when they enter into primaries (like Bob Ney has in the primary against fellow Repug Jim Harris of Zanesville). Ney has said that he is too busy as a Congressman to be a full-time candidate and deal with his competition, but that “busy job” he has in Congress never hinders him when it comes to getting special treatment from special interest now does it?

 Talk about an obsession with oil…these Repugs have this “ANWR or bust” attitude that speaks volumes about their lack of consideration for our nation’s environmental health. Geez, after over 20 years of trying over and over to no avail, you idiots should really just give it up!

 In an effort to curb annual protests; Halliburton has moved their yearly meeting from Houston, Texas to the birthplace of their company in Oklahoma. They’ve not held a meeting there since 1972 and there is little to prove that this was not motivated by an effort to avoid demonstrations this year. Cowards…

 A federal court has overturned BOOsh pollution standards that would’ve made it easier for certain factories to get away with not upgrading their pollution emissions controls. This is clearly a victory for anyone that cares about the health of our environment; which –in turn – directly affects the health of the American people!!

 It’s great to be an Ohioan, especially when a study has unveiled that our population is growing where not needed while losing jobs and better workers. The economy here in Ohio is dire need of a savior!!

 The recent announcement by the Iranians that they would not accept the Russian proposal with regards to handling of the nuclear program; Russia has in turn given Iran the cold shoulder and basically said: “Hey, you’re on your own.” Although Iran insists that they don’t want to make nuclear weapons, the fact is that nobody in the western world seems to be buying it…

 The Iranians are feeling the pressure from the Empire to become the “ideal free democracy” and the theocratic Iranian regime to back down. Some of the people inside Iran that are fighting for freedom actually feel resentment towards Imperial involvement in their movement; mostly because of the fact that BOOsh’s policies seem to damage their cause. Looking at this whole situation from my point of view; one would conclude that we shouldn’t apply so much pressure on these people, especially at a time when the region is in a crisis regarding the Theocratic Rulers ambitions with Nuclear Energy.

 In an address to the public that was meant to promote his Medicare plan; BOOsh was suddenly met with a confrontation on his deal with India. The man that stood in opposition to the deal pointed out that some kind of agreement needs to be reached with India that prohibits them from using this technology to create more nuclear weapons or proliferating those weapons. He also warned that the agreement could open the doors for other nations to ignore the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty…BOOsh just simply told the guy that he will take his comments into consideration…riiight.

 The B.I.C. has reaffirmed his intentions to use pre-emptive action before a threat becomes imminent. Here’s my thought on pre-emptive action…it’s like having a pre-emptive policy of punching strangers first before their threat is imminent. You know, you’re sitting in a diner one day and you look up to notice that some guy has looked at you in a funny way. At first you try to blow it off, but then you start to wonder if he was plotting something. So, after about five minutes of debating with yourself over this possible threat, you begin to convince yourself that this guy is indeed plotting something against you. So…what do you do? You get up walk over to the guy and punch him in the face before he even gets the chance to even look at you again; mission accomplished…right? No, because all you’ve done is create a problem where there really wasn’t one before…much like Iraq and in any other future victim of “pre-emptive force”. The policy just has NO logic. Sounds a lot like something Hitler or Napoleon would do.

 The government recently did an investigation that discovered just how weak airport security really is. 21 undisclosed airports failed to prevent simple bomb-making materials from boarding the airplane…we are talking about materials that could make a bomb that could blow the hell out of a car’s trunk…what the bloody hell is going on here?!!!

 Why are we allies with Saudi Arabia? Really, knowing everything that we know about this near-theocratic regime that hates Israel, teaches radical – anti-western – Islam to its people, hates democracy, promotes and breeds terrorists, etc. Isn’t it time that we rethink our position as an ally of the Saudi Royal Family?

 The father of a brave soldier that was killed in the Iraq War is planning to lead a 241 march against the war. With quite a few people planning to come along, the march is not only meant to protest the war, but to commemorate Gandhi’s 241 mile march against British rule of India.

 Mr. BOOsh has come out saying that we will not “lose our nerve” in his quest to oppress the people of Iraq. He claims that establishing the “free” and “democratic” Iraq will give hope and encouragement to other nations in the region, which will in turn (in his own little world) follow suit. Yeah, what a great message to send to the rest of the region; “allow a Western World Nation to invade and destabilize your nation, go through a couple years or decades of sectarian violence, and after your resources have been siphoned by the effort, you too can have a puppet government that answers to your west-world imperial masters!!” Need I mention that BOOsh also used this opportunity to take a few shots at Iran, linking them to the violence in BOOsh Imperial Arab Base Number Two? That war drum beats louder and louder…

 Tony Blair was told that the American Imperial Forces were badly mishandling the war within weeks of the invasion. The report included reports of a lack of interest in winning the peace, restoring the energy, and even preventing the degradation of the nation’s environmental health. (40% of Iraq’s sewage leaked into the Tigris river, while rubble was piling up everywhere!!)

 There is a tremendous shortage in Iraq’s electric output. Iraqis have had to live with only about 10 to 11 hours of electricity a day and sometimes less than that when demands for energy surge. It has even been noted that Iraq may need the help of Iran to increase the watts available for the Iraqi people. The power grid started seeing problems after our forces attacked it in the Persian Gulf War. Then, with a little over a decade of UN Sanctions and the 2003 Invasion; the situation only got worse and accelerated to new levels of difficulty when the Empire took over. This is giving them hope?

 Despite the Dictator’s claims that Iran has been backing the insurgency; a high-level official has admitted that there is NO proof to back up those assertions. How long will it take for the Right Wing Media to forget about this little detail?

 There has been an obsessive increase in air strikes. This is bad policy because it does more to infuriate the Iraqis than help them. More civilians seem to get caught in the middle of these aerial assaults, because of the likelihood that the bomb will miss their intended target. Iraqis are losing family members and joining the Insurgency for vengeance…this is counter-productive!!

 BOOsh Regime officials have come out hinting at the possibility of long-term Imperial Bases in the region to “help people help themselves”. Yeah, that’s the kind of message we need to send. The biggest eye-catcher of all was when it was mentioned that our presence in the region would be essential to continue “protecting the flow of oil”. Hmm…someone very intelligent once said that “All wars are fought for money.” Indeed…

 Is Halliburton trying to poison our soldiers? A whistleblower has revealed a very troubling fact about the Halliburton-ran (and paid for by your tax dollars) operation in Iraq that purifies and provides water for our men and women. Apparently, the company has relied on inexperienced and untrained workers to handle the water, and when this whistleblower tried to report the slip-ups (including his discovery of badly contaminated water) to others in the company, as well as military personnel; he was told that this was none of his concern. Mishandling of water that is handed to our soldiers and paid for by taxes is EVERY AMERICAN’S CONCERN!!

 An increasingly popular recruiting tactic is to bring school teachers and principals to military training camps; allow them to tour the area, fire a few weapons, watch some ceremonies, engage in some of the “fun” activities and send them off with the urge to encourage students to enlist. Wow, I’m glad that I don’t have the job of an “educator”, because I would feel extremely uncomfortable with all of this. First, they make it look and feel cool to be a “trained killer” and then they add some other stuff in between to soften you up to their cause. I have respect for people in the military (despite the fact that the three veterans that I am related to are all pompous assholes that believe all the propaganda and disregard of irrefutable facts altogether), but tactics like this make my skin crawl.

 A man that went to Iraq with a determination to seek retribution for his son’s death has come to the realization that revenge isn’t for him. This guy was determined to make the perpetrators pay for taking his son, and religious differences also seemed to play a role. Thank God that this man seems to have repented from this line of thinking, because this is the kind of mindset that got us in this mess to begin with. Thus is the nature of warfare…”eye for an eye” as misinterpreted by Fundamentalists.

 Is a war that costs us $200 Million for every day we fight it really worth the cost. The cost is projected to exceed One Trillion Dollars when it is all said and done…that’s 1/9^th of our National Debt!!

 Two-Thirds of Americans polled oppose the Dictator’s quest for empire in Iraq. That’s right, we are uniting in opposition to this immoral conflict, but will that change the Regime’s mind? Doubt it…IMPEACH HIM!!!

 A city in Japan has voted to reject an American plan to relocate a navy base to their area. They have said that one military base is enough, and that they strongly oppose an increase in U.S. military presence. Does anyone else get the impression that some out there are getting annoyed by the Empire’s continuing and expanding presence?

 Military officials are rethinking policies that deal with China after having reviewed their military build-up. They have started talking about bulking up the presence of bombers in Guam to send a message that we’ll be prepared for a stand-off over Taiwan…all I have to say is…AAAHHHH…all of you people are mad. I know that we have an obligation to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion/attack, but this is something that I just can’t be comfortable with.

Tonight's Conclusion

 My push to gain supporters for BOOsh's impeachment continues over the next week. I've donated money to political campaigns and other groups. (AS well as some money and - later this month - my blood to the American Red Cross) I strongly urge everyone to get involved. Demand change and accountability in our government.

 Remember that you have the power...USE IT!!

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

Another Week in BOOsh World

 The Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting much faster than scientists originally thought. Losing as much as 36 Cubic-miles every years. Within a century, West and South Africa could lose most – if not all – of their lakes and streams due to drought, and the sea levels around the world can and will rise about 20 feet in the next couple centuries if things don’t change. Global Warming is real people; very real. Watched the Weather Channel lately?

 Have no fear…I think that the Repugs have a plan…if Global Warming gets too bad; then we’ll all just live on some moon in Saturn’s Orbit. Yeah, it might be suitable for life and it would be a great exit plan. Wait a minute, Repugs hate science unless it provides them with more sophisticated ways to kill people and occupy their countries…they never like it when it helps people!!

 The Wall Street Journal reported on and mocked the impeachment effort recently. The demands for an inquiry that could lead to BOOsh’s removal are intensifying. Resolutions have been debated and passed in numerous city councils, town hall meetings, and various other gatherings of very pissed off Americans. This is NOT similar to Clinton’s Impeachment, because BOOsh has actually killed people with his offenses!!

 The Right Wing Media needs to stop blocking the impeachment effort. It seems that the establishment is afraid of public demands to throw their puppets out of office. These guys are only adding to the problem. As I have noted before….the two kinds of bad people….these people are the latter (the kind that does nothing as bad things goes on).

 Five towns in Vermont have passed resolutions that demand their sole Congressman (Independent) Bernie Sanders to support/co-sponsor John Conyers Congressional Resolution that would establish an investigative committee that would look into BOOsh’s impeachable offenses. Apparently, from what I have heard, the effort has worked because Sanders is one of the near-30 Congressman co-sponsoring the legislation! Organize, Speak Out, Do Something!!!

 One of my two Senators; Mike DeWine, has proposed a resolution in the Senate that would create an oversight committee for the Spy Program while allowing BOOsh to spy on all of us without warrants!! Furthermore, he stated that this committee wouldn’t investigate the past practices of this unconstitutional program. So, BOOsh doesn’t get punished for breaking the law, instead he is rewarded with more powers!! As President Thomas Jefferson once said: “The Law is the Tyrant’s will”. That’s why our liberty is based on the law itself, because Dictators like BOOsh often change the law to justify their grip for power!!! Stop the Repug scam of changing the law to avoid punishment for Constitutional Violations!!!

 The deceit that this Regime uses to get its way is astonishing. It is as if they are getting tips from the Devil himself on a daily basis or something!! McClellan dodges questions in the Press Room and the rest of them spread the lies to other world leaders, Congress and other Americans. With this war on terror; these guys get away with whatever they want!!

 The illegal surveillance of Americans isn’t contained within the NSA program, but even the FBI has broken the law. Hell, they’ve also committed some detainment violations as well…interesting. Sounds like the Gestapo and the KGB bundled up into one.

 BOOsh is likely to get away with breaking the law in the handling of Domestic Surveillance as long as Repugs stay in control. Reason being that the Repugs recently defeated a measure that would have set up an investigation into the program. If Nixon had this kind of Congressional support; he would’ve never resigned and our country would be even worse than what it is now!!!

 If you protest the government…especially if you are a “Commie” Quaker; you will more than likely be spied on by the BOOsh Regime. Just something I wanted to tell you.

 Let the games begin…playing politics with people’s lives again; Repugs are now setting the stage for a standoff over Abortion. A Repug Governor has signed a ban on abortions in South Dakota that restricts all abortions with the only exception being that the woman’s life is at risk (Repugs here in Ohio want to ban ALL abortions, making no exceptions whatsoever). That means that if a woman is raped or is a victim of incest; she has no right to an abortion in South Dakota. Of course, this is just a cheap attempt by the Extreme Right to get the Right-Leaning Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is scandalous and shameful!!

 Contrary to the dumbass rhetoric of the Right Wing; Parental Notification laws have actually had a reverse effect (if any at all) on the rates of Abortions. That’s right, in states where pregnant teens are forced to notify and get permission from their parents before they get an abortion…the abortion rates have actually gone up (if they’ve moved at all). Why? Well, in some cases; the very fact that the parents are forcing the women into a decision gets a rebellious action, and in other cases; some parents have even forced their children to have an abortion. Does anyone think of the possibility that the Father of the baby could be the Father of the pregnant girl, or a brother or cousin in an incest rape case. Do you think that the perverted father will grant permission to the molested daughter to abort “their” child? That’s why I’m Liberal (open-minded to all facts) and not a dumbass Neo-Conservative…

 Repug corruption has spread to the CIA, as the spy agency has been involved in allowing – if not helping – certain Repugs in power cheat the system and abuse power. I’m fed up…how about you?

 You know...Michael Brown (former FEMA Chief) probably did do the best he can. In fact, he was the scapegoat of the disaster that ensued after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. It has been noted that Brown begged the government to help him help the people…and BOOsh just did what he does best; say one thing and do another. Because of BOOsh’s lies; people die every damn day!!!

 At the same time that BOOsh was handing nuclear deals over to India; the country was experiencing some problems with coordinated attacks from within. As you can clearly see…India is nowhere near being stable enough for nuclear aid…what if the wrong people were to get a hold of that stuff? Just a thought…

 The hatred for BOOsh is even spreading to states that “overwhelmingly” supported him in the previous two sElections. His approval rating in Indiana has apparently dropped in the past two years….I would like to give some props for my friends in the Hoosier state…TURN IT BLUE…BRING THE RED CURTAIN DOWN!!

 Jack Abramoff has apparently been close to certain Repug leaders for years. He has joked around with the Dictator, had political favors from GOP Chairman Ken Mehlman, very close to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and has been very successful getting favorable legislation passed by another Repug in the Senate…these Repugs seem to be all alike.

 BOOsh has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create a faith-based aid center. Now, that’s all cool … when you are a Christian, but what if you don’t believe in God, or what if your God isn’t the same as mine? Well, your tax dollars will be going into these programs anyway. I’m adamantly opposed to federal funds going to any RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION. No, it’s not because I hate God (as retarded Repugs would have you believe), but it is because of my distrust for any violation of the separation of church and state. When the government gives funds to any group; they usually…in time…believe they have the right to hold that against that institution as time goes by, and eventually use it to force that entity into doing what they want them to do. Do you want your taxes funding a religion that you don’t believe in? Do you want your worship center to become a puppet of the government? Think about it!!

 BOOsh has too much time on his hands…he now likes to talk to his guests in the White House about how the “president’s pick” of the rug design can be reflective of his leadership. I’m wishing that the pretzel would’ve done its damn job….

 Mr. Delay just can’t get enough of that money…I’ll tell ya. Hell, the dumbasses in the Repug Primary actually gave him the nomination to run again for reelection…duuuuurrrr!!!

 Former Chief Financial Officer of Enron, Mr. Fastow has said that he helped Enron cheat because he had ill-conceived thought that he was a hero…. A hero to corporate profits of course….not to anyone that actually needs a hero.

 Ohio has the worst job record ever…having successfully completed its 117^th consecutive month of job losses…Great Job you Repugs in control!!!

 Repugs in our country often act like selfish retards in Third World countries. A mentally retarded girl – with the mental capacity of a 10 year old – was raped and left pregnant by her boss. When she opted for an abortion, the Mexicans denied her the right that their laws guarantee. I’m pretty sure that she would’ve been treated the same by the Right Wing here in America.

 Repugs - in an attempt to shake their image of corruption – has allowed a ban on lobbyist meals and other bribes to be attached to a lobbying bill. I bet that had to hurt…now they have to pay for their own damn meals again!!

 In the never ending hypocritical nature of the “Christian” Repugs in government that stand up for the “Ten Commandments” but yet avoid following any of the rules that they see on those tablets. Bill Frist is again proposing a Flag-Burning Ban Amendment that is reflective of their Idol worship of a piece of material that is replaceable. He claims that when a flag is desecrated then it is a spit in the face of every American and on all of our soldiers. To the contrary; flags are representative of governments…not the governed. So a flag-burning demonstration is an expression of discontent with the policies of the government that it represents. In fact, this amendment is an attempt by the right wing to make liberals look evil, and boaster their own image as the defenders of Democracy. Taking notes from the Nazis again I see…

 As Rums-Failed attempts to demonize and weaken unions; those same government workers unions are calling for his resignation. I want all of them to resign and/or be arrested and tried for their crimes against humanity and the people of this Democratic-Republic.

 All of that work in the aftermath of Katrina…and still New Orleans is left vulnerable to a Katrina style storm. The levees are not up to par and therefore…if last year’s storm is repeated in the near future; the likelihood of a repeat of the disaster is pretty high.

 Awww…BOOsh is a victim of Repug policies. He had to go to Crawford, Texas to cast his vote when his absentee ballot didn’t come…due to some difficulties…in the words of the Simpsons’ Nelson: “Haaa Ha!!”

 It’s truly amazing how some “Christians” can claim to love God but ignore the truth about the greatest gift; Love. Is the death penalty an expression of love? Is war an expression of love? No. However, this fact doesn’t deter the Right Wing from claiming that both are justified by the bible. They aren’t reading the same Holy Bible as I then. To kill someone and say that God is with you in spirit is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit…that – according to Christ himself – is the ONLY unforgivable sin. Ponder that one…especially my old brethren in the Apostolic churches. (As well as the Southern Baptists and any other Right Wing Churches).

 I think my opinion of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill has improved incredibly. They came out swinging at BOOsh for his mishandling of the Hurricane Aftermath. Hell, McGraw actually proposed a run for the Senate from Tennessee in the future…now, I think I could support that!!

 The Maryland House of Delegates unanimously voted to ban Diebold voting machines because the lack of a paper trail. Why couldn’t any of this happen before 2004…when it would’ve been needed to prevent “four more years of the same old Dictatorial policies of BOOsh”?!!

 Trent Lott and Senator Ensign are two of the 33 very callous and demented Repugs that voted against sending additional funding to heat the homes of poor, elderly and disabled Americans. Lott complained that there should be a limit on “handing things out freely” to people, and then made a sarcastic and heartless remark: “I thought we were having Global Warming.” Pompous ass!! Then Ensign made a comment that anyone supporting this legislation were the ones ignoring the deficits and not wanting to sacrifice to take care of that problem. Of course, Repugs would know a lot about that; afterall, their policies are the reason why we are experiencing record breaking Budget Deficits every year (can anyone say ridiculous tax cuts and increased funding in the Military Budget….where it’s not needed?)!!

 Just when you thought that these guys couldn’t violate anymore Constitutional Rights…they have. It appears that the Justice Department has kept at least 5,000 court cases in the dark since 2003!! That’s violating the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees that the public will stay notified on proceedings in the court room. This was created to protect the people from an overzealous Government. If we aren’t able to see what is going on with ALL criminal cases (as is guaranteed by our Constitution) then we have no way of ensuring that our government isn’t abusing its power. Stop the Secrecy Immediately!!!

 Contrary to the familiar drumbeat for the march to war (a.k.a. the usual urgency to “act now before we all suffer”); Iran apparently won’t have any nuclear weapons for at least a decade!! Once again, people need to open their eyes up and look at the real problems here. Like Saudi Arabia…a nation that not only funded al-Qaeda, but was also home to 15 of the hijackers (not to mention the fact that they also refused to allow anyone to enter their country to question the families of the hijackers)!! Or that other threat…North Korea. Oh wait, that’s right…they have no RESOURCES TO ABSORB!!

 You know, the Port Deal was only the beginning. The endless year after year record breaking Trade Deficits have opened the doors to many more similar deals like that one. Yes, that’s right. It’s likely that BOOsh and Dictators like him will be selling our security to oil rich nations in order to pay off our soaring debts to the world. With outsourcing and companies like Wal-Mart; this nightmare has been made a reality and seems to be on the path to get worse!

 Repugs are at it again; just like their Nazi Idols, they are questioning the patriotism of anyone that opposes their agenda of using the military and suppression of liberties. I tell you, this is disgusting. Benjamin Franklin once said: “Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserves neither.”

 “Recess Ambassador” to the UN, Mr. Bolton has come out saying that we should attack Iran if this nuclear issue isn’t resolved soon. Some in the Regime are even starting to claim that the CIA found blueprints for the design of a bomb like “Little Boy” (the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in World War Two). This of course is very similar to the presentation by Colin Powell to the UN that “revealed” Iraq’s non-existent WMDs! Stop the Lies and stop the drumbeat!!

 The Supreme Court has ruled that military recruiters must be permitted to solicit students on campus. Now, I understand the need to seek any volunteers that would be willing, but this apparently leads to a conflict with certain ground rules for some of these colleges. Ground rules that prohibit companies that have “discriminatory policies” from soliciting students. The military doesn’t discriminate race, religion or even gender, but it still hasn’t fully opened the doors to people of different sexual orientations. Either way, I have a sort of neutral position on this one.

 The Dubai Ports World company from the UAE has announced their plans to “drop out” of the deal and hand it over to an “American Entity”. Now, there are those that are suspicious that the “American Entity” could merely be an American Subsidy, or another company with ties to the Emirate government. This ISN’T over yet.

 An even larger regional crisis in the Middle East could be on the horizon. It seems that in response to its neighbor that it considers as an equal in every respect; Turkey has opted to go through with their own plans for Nuclear Energy…just like Iran. This is getting way out of hand.

 The North Korea issue is about to explode again. I mentioned before that this country is one of our only true threats, but I fear war with them a million times more than I did with Iraq. I just don’t see how a war with North Korea would have a positive outcome.

 Hell, just to spice things up, Kim Jong Il thought that he would just test fire two missiles last week to show that his nation is still awake and prepared…nice to hear from you again.

 It is evident that the Empire will extend in Afghanistan for a long time to come, because “government” officials from that country (territory) have come out saying that they will need Occupational presence for at least another 15 years. By that time, it is likely that Afghanistan will have turned into a full fledged clone of Iraq and we’ll be forced (by the BOOsh Doctrine) to stay there even longer.

 Drum roll please...it’s official…the Dictator has signed the renewal of the Dictatorial Powers Act (“Patriot” Act). Now we can look forward to another four or five years of more government invasions of privacy and peace group infiltrations…a big hoorah for the Congress in defending our liberties!!!

 The U.A.E. has already been handling the shipment of products into the United States. Through a UAE owned company called Inchcape Shipping Services; the UAE has apparently been handling naval shipments since January…feel better about our security yet?

 Darth Cheney has announced that Iran faces serious consequences if it persists to pursue an enrichment program. Once again…that rhetoric is really picking up its pace in the continuing march to war.

 International Organizations are calling for the Pentagon and American Doctors to end the force-feeding at Guantanamo Bay. The Pentagon simply replies that they don’t have to (and then sticks their tongue out at the world). Does anyone really expect the hypocrites that rule this Empire to stand up for the Human Rights that they claim to fight for? Come on, what more do you expect from them?!!

 In displaying true hypocrisy in foreign policy, BOOsh has flat out told Pakistan that it will not get the same kind of nuclear deal that India received not too long ago. Mostly because they have “different histories”…err…this all seems to be really edgy because of the fact that Pakistan and India are rivals, and were even at the brink of war in 2002. Is this really going to make that situation any better?

 Congressman Murtha has made a great point. Al-Qaeda, Iran and China are really the only entities that really want us in Iraq. Why? Well, the madness in Iraq helps Al-Qaeda recruit members to there cause as Iran is able to influence an expansion of their theocratic policies. What about China? Well, they are enjoying the sight of this “superpower” depleting its resources in our military and fiscal areas. Rap your brain around that thought.

 How’s this for winning the “hearts and minds” of the Iraqis? Several women were invited by a group called “Code-pink” to leave their homes in Iraq and come to speak to Americans about their experiences in this War. These women lost – in some cases – their entire families due to battles between Occupational Forces and the Insurgency. When these women applied for visas (after a risky trip to Jordan to do so) to enter the country; BOOsh’s Government denied them the right to come. Why? Well, apparently it was because of the fact that they had little family at home that would guarantee that they would go back to Iraq! How’s that for painful irony, or – in other words – adding insult to injury?!

 According to a report from the AP; about 8,000 soldiers have deserted the military since the Iraq War began. Reason being that these men and women have been questioning their service since they have been realizing the true evil nature of the fact that BOOsh “commands” these forces to carry out his evil plans. Can you really blame them?

 The Iraqi women that were permitted to come to our country spoke about their experiences (with no coverage by the Corporate Right Wing Media) in this horrific charade called the War in Iraq. These women are practically begging for the Occupation to end so they can see the suffering of their people end. They spoke of how they have witnessed oppression for over 30 years. Why? Well, in the 1970s, our Imperial Nation felt the need to support the uprising and ruling of Saddam’s Regime. Hell, Reagan even supplied them with weapons in the 80s. Then, when Iraq opted to invade their neighboring Kuwait (an area that was apart of Iraq until Great Britain chopped it off following the Second World War); the American Empire saw this as a threat to its power and control of the status quo with regards to Oil. Then, there was the Decade and - almost – a half of sanctions from the UN (greatly supported by the Empire) that starved the Iraqi people. Now, they are dealing with the endless violence following the invasion and occupation by Dictator BOOsh!! End this war NOW!!!

 The chaos that has been caused by the Empire’s intervention in Iraq has opened the doors for crimes against Intellectuals. The smartest amongst the Iraqis are becoming victims to scandalous attacks by fundamentalists within the country that view men and women of knowledge to be evil. Sounds like two other like-minded groups that have endangered the creative of a stable and peaceful society; The Nazis and RePOOPlicans!!

 While attempting to deliver a petition to the U.S. Mission in the United Nations building, Cindy Sheehan and three other women were arrested and basically held for “resisting arrest”. The four women refused to leave the area because the Mission wouldn’t accept the petition and then they resisted arrest because they were not doing anything wrong to be arrested! These women were roughed up and some even hurt pretty bad by the authorities and got harsher treatment than usual; no doubt that it was all because of their repeated actions of dissent against the Imperial Government. This is such a great way to be a model for democracy!!

 Dumb-ass Rums-Failed has come out swinging at the reports of casualties in Iraq. He says that the pending civil war and the causes leading to have all been badly exaggerated by the media. He also claims that al-Qaeda has control of some parts of the media and has been manipulating all the information, but yet he also says this; “We do know, of course, that al-Qaeda has media committees. We do know that they teach people exactly how to try to manipulate the media. They do this regularly. We see the intelligence that reports on their meetings. Now I can't take a string and tie it to a news report and then trace it back to an al-Qaeda media committee meeting. I'm not able to do that at all.” We are supposed to believe this guy. Especially considering the fact that he once claimed that our government KNEW where the supposed WMDs were….LMAO!!!!!

 Many of our soldiers have been getting counseling from military Chaplains during this war. They need the help because God knows that they are mentally and emotionally going through trials with their regrets of doing and witnessing the things that have been going on since they were deployed. Many soldiers have been reluctant to go to these chaplains because they fear being seen as weak, but isn’t that why some – not all - people even join the military in the first place? I know that while I was in an argument with my father one time, he once tried to make me feel weak and pathetic for being pacifist. He told me that he wouldn’t respect me until I served at least two years in the military. Then, when he realized that this wasn’t working, he then tried to coerce me into becoming a chaplain as a conscientious objector. I’m sorry, I can’t betray everything that I believe in to LIE to men and women and try to convince them that there is a “just cause” for violence (including killing) during wartime. Christ NEVER mentioned any such “just cause”, because that theory is a LIE!!! I serve Christ, not the government.

 In an act of non-violent civil disobedience, a group of anti-war demonstrators walked into a House Committee meeting that was about additional money to fund the occupation. These people were arrested for standing up and I applaud them. The only kind of disobedience that is unacceptable is violence. In fact, because of the fact that these men and women in government are our servants, and that the First Amendment grants us the right to peaceably assemble; we shouldn’t be arrested for such acts of dissent as walking into a meeting and protesting. Our voices have more power than the laws that they create, because we have the authority to remove them from power!!

 Before being escorted out of a separate meeting; a man had interrupted the Dictator’s Bitch by saying “Fire Rumsfeld”. People all over are realizing everyday just how vital it is that these people be removed from power!!

 In an obvious attempt to shut the opposition up; our military has decided to shut Abu Ghraib down. It was a torture chamber for Saddam and occupational forces. My thoughts on this are that just because they are shutting it down doesn’t mean that the abuses will stop, nor does it mean that they will be forgotten. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just blind to reality.

 Amidst all the death and destruction of this war; everyone has lost count of how many people have actually died since the Invasion! The situation is much worse than what it ever was under Saddam. (Those the words of the Iraqis themselves) Hell, officials in the morgues have even fled the country because they were feeling the pressure from Occupational and Puppet Government forces to under-report the true number of deaths. All I see is evil in this whole conflict. Our government created the monster that was the Hussein Regime, and then it destroyed that beast while further causing the Iraqis to suffer!

 These idiots in power really don’t know how to run a war effort. Well, that’s if they actually care about the people that are fighting it in the first place. Apparently, they can’t fund updated vehicles, equipment or body armor, but they can provide funds to buy pointless materialistic crap like ten BIG SCREEN TVs!! One television and its nine replacements!!! Get your PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!!

 Hillary Clinton is doing her best to remain silent on the issue about her past ties to the Devil. Yes, the Devil once gave her a seat on its board and made history doing so. However, as news has been coming out about the disgraceful and illegal practices of the Devil; Hillary even returned one of their contributions citing differences with how they operate. Join the crew Hillary and speak up for the American Worker!!!

 AT&T’s recent purchase of Bell South has now opened the door for more opportunities…to kick workers out on the street!! Beware of Monopolies, lack of competition means lack of accountability!!

 Dare to dream...

Tonight's Conclusion

 I've had some pretty rough weeks before, but - personally - this past week was horrible. I attended my first ever City Council Meeting and finally got my Bank Check Card, but that is where the highlights ended. Good things will (and better) come soon.

 Until Next Time...

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

Wouldn't it be nice...if our World was sane?

 BOOsh really didn’t care about what happened to those people in the Gulf Coast. He was warned, then he lied with an assurance of immediate action, and then he lied again about his knowledge of the full extent of impending damages. I hate this man, I really do.

 Two-Thirds of all the money that was sent to help the recovery effort in the Gulf Coast has been spent. What about all of that money that BOOsh asked for? What is it being spent on?

 BOOsh’s spying on us Americans may actually go beyond the Domestic Surveillance Program that we all love to hate. Or is this just another unfortunate case where the Regime has mis-worded their defense of illegal policies? Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that we need to demand their immediate REMOVAL!!

 The NSA is looking for new ways to spy on us. Yeah, that’s right…they want more info on you and me. Cool huh?

 The BOOsh plan for our “oil dependency reduction” is actually just a cover-up for a real scheme that is set to increase our dependency on foreign oil. Less than one percent of “dual fuel vehicles” ever run on ethanol, and there are less-than 130 refueling stations in the entire country. The truth is that BOOsh’s energy plan will allow auto manufacturers to get away with not abiding by laws that require them to make cars that allow us to use less fuel per gallon. Fact is that our money continues to be siphoned by auto manufacturers, oil companies and the BOOsh Regime!!

 There is now a rumor that Lord Cheney will be gone after the next election. Unlikely, but if so, we better brace ourselves for another insane right-wing Neo-Con to take his place!

 This deserves a laugh out loud moment: BOOsh’s approval rating = 34% of those polled…LMAO!!!

 LOL…then again…I think that this deserves more laughter; Libby has hired a memory loss expert to help his defense that he didn’t intentionally lie to authorities about discussing the identity of a covert agent with the press. That is irrelevant when compared to the fact that he committed – or took part in the act thereof – treason!!

 Remember how Libby couldn’t find those files that could help show that he “didn’t intentionally lie”? Well, BOOsh and Company have suddenly found them, and there is a big possibility that this new discovery could put Lord Cheney on the hot-plate as it shows his strong involvement in this scandal, alongside proving that he lied to the grand jury!!

 Ignoring International standards and rules on Nuclear energy; BOOsh has struck a deal to sell nuclear reactors, fuel and expertise to India. This move is shocking because of the fact that India never signed the Non-Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and refused to align with the United States during the Cold War. This act has also infuriated Iran and North Korea for its clear hypocrisy. This is foreign policy? No, this is how Repugs make money!!

 May I ask one question – and I’m not alone on this – could any of you forget something/someone that you were once obsessed with? Well, apparently Libby had. (Riiiight)

 Katherine Harris - yeah the same woman that helped BOOsh steal the 2000 election – is set to speak at a meeting of Religious Fundamentalists that are conspiring to turn our nation into a corrupted-“Christian” Theocratic Empire!! Shows just how crazy these people in power really are.

 The Repugs have divided our nation so much that death threats have even been made over political disputes. How ridiculous is that? The Repugs have been so successful at demonizing dissenters of their policies that their supporters are willing to threaten the lives of anyone opposed!! Sickening and depressing…

 Despite the known danger that miners have on their job sites; BOOsh has loosened the policies on fining mining companies for violations in ensuring the safety of their workers! Hell, there are many cases where fines haven’t been collected on at all…when will my disgust with these bastards end?!!

 Isn’t it just awesome that BOOsh cares so much for our environment? Well, he cares enough to allow oil companies to drill near national parks and other landmarks…yeah, that’s right; he wants to break our “addiction” to oil by destroying the beautiful and natural look of our great land. Incredibly genius!!

 Failing to protect women that are exercising their right to choose, eight of the 9 Justices ruled that protesters have a right to come out and intimidate/scare women entering abortion clinics! Yeah, that’s right, these people are allowed to come out and make these women feel pathetic and low for choosing what happens in their life. The right to protest does not include invasion of privacy, which is exactly what a visit to any doctor’s office is, a private matter!! I can understand protesting outside a government building, but Abortion is a legal practice. So, go to your Congressman about it, and stop harassing these innocent private citizens!! Oh, and if anyone even dares to mention that these women aren’t innocent; I only have this to say to you: What happens with a woman’s pregnancy is her business, not the government and certainly not yours. That is a decision between that person, her doctor and God. Stop being hypocrites and focus on your own lives!! Another note: It is the duty of every American and human overall to question the practices of those in government. So, no…I’m not being hypocritical here.

 BOOsh has stated that he believes that bin-Laden will be captured. Hmm, yes…old-buddy bin-Laden, the one that was given a two month head start before our retaliation to 9/11 happened, and the same guy that was given a break as BOOsh pursued a conflict in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We wouldn’t be talking about the dream of catching the terrorist mastermind if the distraction that is the Iraq War hadn’t begun to start with!! If we didn’t invade Iraq, we wouldn’t be paying for it, and we’d be able to spend more money on catching Osama!! However, these are suggestions from someone who cares about the security of our nation as opposed to someone that treasures the contents of his wallet!

 The Coast Guard wants to know how that U.A.E. company will react to terrorism, because they don’t have any clear answers on the matter right now. I already have one guess as to how that country reacts to terrorism, but you all already know my thoughts on it.

 BOOsh plans to “modernize” our Nuclear Arsenal. In other words, he wants to ignore past agreements and pleadings for a reduction in that stockpile; just to create more weapons. Then again, what else did you expect from a man that gets off on the mere thought of war and suffering?!!

 According to the DIA; the insurgency in Afghanistan increased their attacks by 20% last year and will be more active this year! It seems to me like they are learning lessons from the uprising in Iraq. Quite a pickle BOOsh’s Regime has put us in…

 Repugs are flipping on their opposition to the U.A.E. deal. All because of the “green”. No, not Marijuana, but their love of money. I’m not surprised though, because Repugs have made a living of selling our country out for profit and power!

 The force-feeding of detainees – ANYWHERE – is torture. The BOOsh Regime believes that they should get away with it, but – especially since McCain’s Torture Ban – the practice of forcing detainees to do anything they don’t want to in a degrading/humiliating manner is torture. Hell, remember the Women’s Suffrage movement during the First World War? Yeah, the same movement that would lead to women gaining the right to vote was highlighted by a hunger strike that took place when many of them were jailed for picketing outside the white house. That strike also ended in force-feeding; which was condemned by our government later on for its torturous nature!! These detainees should not be treated any differently!!

 BOOsh’s policies have turned Pakistan into a safe haven for bin-Laden. According to many experts, the Dictators in Pakistan and the White House haven’t done enough to capture that darn villain. Hell, people in Pakistan have even thrown parties in the honor of al-Qaeda’s “leaders”; how’s that for being an ally?!

 Doctors and Psychologists have been pretty lazy at preventing torture at Guantanamo Bay. Hell, some of them have even given advice to interrogators on how to force the detainees into submission. It seems like all rules go out the window when there is a war “on terror” going on.

 By the way, the Repugs and DINOs renewed the Patriot Act in the Senate…awesome…just awesome.

 How’s this for persecution of Christians; about 15 people were arrested for protesting BOOsh’s torture practices in front of the White House. These protesters went around the Capital, and some speakers quoted the Bible while speaking out against the inhumane treatment of detainees. I seem to remember when Pastor James Kirk of Christian Life Center made a comment which hinted that if Kerry won the election, we Christians would endure another period of persecution. Hmm, looks a lot to me like BOOsh has become that “son of perdition” instead!

 BOOsh has now become weak in his only so-called “strength”; his handling of the “war on terrorism”. With over half of those polled saying that he sucks in that field; BOOsh is definitely one of the most hated and lousy leaders ever! The only thing that sucks more is that these people didn’t see this sooner; my how I hate ignorance!!

 The U.A.E. is just a mess of discombobulating information. How could this even be considered?

 BOOsh and Company are already trying to say that the prison in Cuba is exempt from McCain’s Torture Ban. They say that it doesn’t apply to the detainees at all, especially in light of the force-feeding. I hear their excuses and think of the excuses used the guards that held the women of the suffrage movement. That’s a plus of being a student of history, ya know.

 The Repug that started leading the charge against the Port Deal was recently informed that he might not have a ride to visit our troops in Iraq. Could these two things be related? I believe so. However, this Repug was reluctant to “make an issue” out of the matter. Hell, I think that he should be publicly DEMANDING ANSWERS, not quietly taking it like a bitch!! That’s just my opinion.

 John Bolton, our “Recess Ambassador” to the UN has refused to support a plan to create a more credible human rights body. Of course, this is an effort by the BOOsh Regime to stall the United Nations from creating a body that just might hold BOOsh accountable for his Regime’s human rights violations!!

 Halliburton has indeed benefited from their long term connection to Darth Cheney. They have overcharged the government on their no-bid contract deals, and - despite the fact that Government Auditors have flagged how that money was spent – the Pentagon is paying over 90% of that overcharged bill. We, the American people, are being forced to pay this through our taxes. Do you like filling the wallets of greedy war profiteers?

 How much does BOOsh care about our veterans? Enough to continue to screw them over on their VA Benefits and have plans on going forward with that plan as time goes on…awesome job B.I.C.!!

 After dodging a reporter’s question about what we’ll do if Civil War breaks out in Iraq, BOOsh defends his policies by saying that he has “plenty of capital” and plans on using it to continue spreading “freedom” (oppression/poverty) and “democracy” (Authoritarian Fascist Dictatorship) “around the world” (throughout the Empire) to “protect the American people” (enslave us in endless war while profiting from corporate payoffs for his deeds). Impeach them now!!

 How would you like to have only four hours of electricity a day? Would you like it if your family members were starving or dying because of a lack of food and medicines? What would you do if your store was suffering in stockpiles of food and the little food that you could provide couldn’t be stored because of a lack of electricity? On all of the questions above, just ask the Iraqis. The recent curfew that was imposed on the people of Iraq is uniting the country…in anger and resentment. Enough of this war, these people are suffering!!!

 The National Intelligence Council had warned the BOOsh Regime two years ago about the deep roots of the insurgency alongside the possibility that their uprising could lead to a civil war. Did the Regime truthfully have optimism? No, they just don’t give a rat’s ass!! All they care about is the profits they get from this war, the Empire and painting a rosy picture for the public!!

 BOOsh says that the people of Iraq must choose between chaos or unity…hmm…maybe that would be easier if your policies hadn’t f**ked their lives up!!

 Some Sunnis and Shiites are uniting and condemning sectarian violence, but at the same time; they are calling for unity in demanding that BOOsh and others withdrawal from their country immediately! I have my own theory about the rise in sectarian violence, but I’ll keep that to myself for now.

 Repugs are now in panic mode and in the middle of pointing their fingers all over the place for the Three Year Long/$200 Billion (and counting) Quagmire in Iraq…I think it’s priceless and tragic all in one.

 A majority of our soldiers that have been polled believe that the mission in Iraq is a quagmire and roughly 25% of them want to come home now!! Even worse is the fact that over 75% of them believe they are fighting in retaliation to “Saddam’s involvement in 9/11”…how misled are they? Oh and by the way…a majority of our - polled - soldiers believe that protesters are patriotic…so suck on that Repugs!!

 BOOsh’s recent “surprise” visit to our troops in Afghanistan was an act of desperation to show off an “accomplishment” when a quagmire of his is taking over the news. There are two problems with this…first off; Afghanistan is also a disaster and is worsening every month, and secondly, BOOsh doesn’t plan to visit the troops in Iraq (a country he has only been to once – in November 2003 – for political reasons). The visit to Afghanistan was his first since we invaded that country in 2001. What an upstanding guy!!

 A member of Congress has proposed a bill to begin withdrawing our forces from Iraq at the soonest practical date after either September 30^th of this year or the completion of the Iraqi Constitution (whatever comes first). It also has language that guarantees that we will not have permanent bases in Iraq, and that we will not attempt to control the flow of their oil…I see no problem with this plan; and neither should our servants in Congress!!

 Our own soldiers are expressing skepticism with the idea of Iraq having a trustworthy and competent military soon. Complaints from all over the place have been coming in about mistreatment by commanding officers. Religious and political differences lead to certain Iraqis being treated differently and with more/less care than others, and there is even a dead colonel with the possibility of Iraqi troops having played a part in the death. Beautiful…

 Despite the fact that BOOsh never hinted that their was divisiveness within the government over the “threat” that Saddam’s Iraq posed; BOOsh was briefed many times in 2002 and 2001 on this divide and was even told by these agencies that Saddam was not an imminent threat. Again, the Bastard in Chief cares not about threats or the security of this nation; he’s the bitch-boy of corporate masters!! All he cares about is money and the power to get more of it!!

 Tony Blair has now taken the low road and has shifted blame for his ignorant and blind policies that have led him to follow BOOsh down the rabbit hole of death to others. The primary one that he has blamed for his decision was God. He says this: “I think if you have faith about these things then you realise that judgment is made by other people… (Pushed to clarify what he meant, Blair, a devout Christian, replied:)"If you believe in God, it's made by God as well… This is not just a matter of a policy here or a thing there, but of their lives and in some case their death ... the only way you can take a decision like that is to try to do the right thing, according to your conscience and for the rest of it you leave it to the judgment that history will make.” This is a disgusting attempt to dodge responsibility. It’s despicable how far Blair has fallen, and to take the hypocritical and pathetic “Blame God” road that BOOsh so often just makes me sick to my stomach. As a Christian, I know that I and I alone am responsible for my mistakes, and that God is here as a guide and loving judge; not as a dictator. I CONDEMN Blair’s assertion that God guided him to join BOOsh in this war effort…just admit that you alone are at fault, the buck stops with you and BOOsh…NOT GOD!!

 The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has gotten worse. It has spread into neighboring Chad and threatens to throw the region into further turmoil!! How would you like to be a refugee in your own country (my regards to the victims of Katrina)? What will be done to seriously settle this vital matter? Something must be done in the interest of the International Community’s stability!!

 The Devil is now begging certain Governors to veto any legislation that could force them to treat their employees fairly with regards to health insurance. Aww, is the world’s most powerful corporation gonna cry now?

 If the Avian Flu suddenly mutates and breaks out in our country…there is a plan in place. To turn certain refrigerated trucks into mobile morgues!! That’s progress indeed!!

 Ever delivered a baby in shackles? Shawanna Nelson has. That’s right, pregnant prison inmates re even forced to wear shackles while delivering their babies in some states!! Watch out, the lady with the baby hanging half out of her ass is making a break for it!!!

 That world of peace and prosperity is really looking appealing...isn't it?

Tonight's Conclusion

 Our world is going freaking nuts. I find myself constantly in a position to pass on the news to people that I know. It's so unfortunate that we live in a country where the right wing controls our government and the media. Thus suffocating any movement for truth and honest justice.

 The fight isn't over though. We must continue to fight the good fight. Only when we have accomplished this task (or died while fighting for it) ; can we say that our job is done.

 Until next time...

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

I'm back on track

...that's for sure. At least with the updating, but I find myself in a bad position in other parts of my life that I'm not mentioning on here anymore. I was at that vigil last week and it was awesome (as I will talk a little more about later on). I recently got a letter from the Dean's office at Kaplan University that noted that I am on the Honor's list for the August 2005 Term, having retained a grade point average above 3.4. Yay!!

 Unfortunately, I have no new news about "OSM"...

Surveillance, Port Security, Iraq and more...

 Not only is our work force suffering from outsourcing, but workers in third world countries that have better pay than others have been suffering as well as certain corporations purposely move their business to factories that openly violate human rights, because of how “expensive” the better-off workers are. Pathetic, this is just wrong and needs to stop immediately!

 It is predicted that the cost of healthcare will increase to about 4 Trillion Dollars soon!! Well, I believe that the cost of healthcare isn’t as important as providing healthcare to all Americans. This is a matter of love/mercy over greed, but we’re talking about the imaginary world that Christ wanted, not BOOsh’s world where profit and revenue is more important than people.

 Gonzales has become quite talented at dodging important questions, but I see right through him. Leahy asked him if the Regime believed that they had the authority to authorize warrant-less spying before the Authorization of the Use of Force (in response to 9/11) was signed, and all Gonzales could say was: “What I can say is that we came to a conclusion that the president had the authority to authorize this kind of activity before he actually authorized the activity.” He dodged whether or not they used the “authority”, but vaguely gave us an answer about their thoughts preceding the act that was signed in mid-September 2001.

 BOOsh is seeking Congressional Approval for his illegal wiretapping scheme. Some think – blindly – that this is a step in the right direction, but BOOsh has expressed that he is doing the right thing and that this is benefiting “the enemy” to discuss this matter right now. Last time I looked, the government serves “the People”, not the other way around. So, with that said, we – the people – have a RIGHT to know if someone is listening in on us, and whether or not they are breaking the law doing so!! Senator Mike DeWine – unfortunately my Senator – has proposed a law that would allow BOOsh to continue his program with an exemption to the FISA Law and the Fourth Amendment altogether…I can’t wait until Election Day!!

 In a moment of obvious panic, BOOsh is doing everything he can to coerce members of Congress to not launch an investigation into his Spy Program. What’s wrong…afraid that this could be the beginning of your unraveling?

 It has been confirmed by the Ex-Prime Minister of Malaysia that Abramoff received over one million dollars from someone – “not the government” – in Malaysia to pay for Abramoff’s attempt to arrange a meeting between the PM and the Dictator.

 Can you believe that 4% of those polled actually have a more favorable view of Darth Cheney after he “accidentally” shot Whittington?!! What the hell is wrong with those people?

 Ann Coulter recently came to Denison University and said some crazy things regarding us Liberals and how we should just shut up during the “war on terrorism”, especially since we were permitted to speak out during the Cold War. That’s not the worst of it, when one student tried to engage in a small debate over her views about the Iraq War, Coulter tried to throw the student out and said: “I'm not going to put up with some bitchy little girl screaming at me”. Ok, you come to the girl’s school and start shooting off at the mouth with your hateful and patronizing rhetoric, but when it comes to someone challenging your ignorance, you don’t want to hear it; pure arrogance and vanity.

 My Congressman - the corrupt – Bob Ney, has come out slinging mud at anyone who would dare question the practice of “earmarking” (bribing with) federal funds. He points towards the bureaucracies and claims that if it had been left up to them, things would be much worse. Typical Repug, blame the government while not really doing anything to improve it.

 There are now some contradicting statements from the Regime about Cheney’s “accident”. Statements of where the quail was located that day are beginning to conflict with each other, and this is making me seriously wonder how much of this was an actual accident!

 One of the many casualties from this Regime’s arrogance and lack of caring has been those that do care. Like the Charity Hospital in New Orleans that treats people without insurance. That hospital has been allowed to die, especially in light of the fact that their government just doesn’t care about the poor. Kanye West was partially right when he said that “BOOsh doesn’t care about black people.” The fact is that BOOsh doesn’t care about any people, unless you have the money to make him care!

 It has been revealed that Darth Cheney and the National Security Council had conspired to unveil Plame’s identity to prevent Joseph Wilson from talking about the Niger Sale of Uranium. How long will it take for this to be swept under the rug?

 Cheney believes that he has the right and authority to rule when something can be declassified; including the identity of a covert agent! We need to rid our government of this mindset at once!!!

 Repugs are starting their movement towards abolishing Abortions altogether and ridding women of their right to choose what happens to their bodies. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the fact that Abortions exist, but if there is no exception made for Rape and Incest Victims, along with women that might have the risk of losing their life, then this bill in South Dakota (which could and most likely will lead to a Supreme Court case, where the extremist Justices will have a chance to overrule Roe v. Wade once and for all) is as evil as they come.

 There are more questions popping up now about the 2004 sElection. Of course, I KNOW it was stolen, but there are some independent organizations that are demanding investigations to see whether or not the last election was done legally. Yet another “swept under the rug” issue.

 BOOsh’s Regime secretly arranged a deal with the United Arab Emirates to hand port-security control of six cities (including New Orleans, Miami, and NEW YORK CITY) over to a U.A.E. corporation. BOOsh claims that he just learned about this is the past week or so of mounting criticism, but that statement – although far-fetched and unlikely – is irrelevant when one looks at the fact that he is coming out with a veto threat against any legislation that would block the transaction!! I’m far beyond having any pity for the utter ignorance of any loyal supporters of this Dictator that may remain after this news break!!

 Many Repugs are also flipping out about this deal and rightfully so. After all, the U.A.E. was used a “base” for al-Qaeda before the attacks took place, and was also a transport center for WMDs info for Iran and North Korea from a Pakistani scientist…feeling safe with BOOsh in control?

 Just like his strange connection with Saudi Arabia, BOOsh has many ties with the U.A.E. as well. A member of his cabinet sold the security for the company that he left to the same company that wants to gain control of our major ports. BOOsh’s brother – Neil – has received a lot of money from this company and the U.A.E. has also invested billions in the Carlyle Group…an organization that BOOsh’s family is definitely intermingled with! Greed overcomes common sense yet again!!

 According to a report by ABC, roughly 7 percent of whatever comes through our ports are ever looked at anyway. BOOsh’s government barely feels the need to properly fund port security…which must explain why he has just decided to give control to other countries that have a history of terrorist sponsorship anyway….if you can’t beat em’ join em’, right?

 BOOsh is now trying to tell us that we need not worry nor have “double standards” in this situation. Double standards? The following is apart of a CNN Report: “Bush on Thursday questioned whether a double standard was being applied to a Middle East company, saying, "It's OK for a British company to manage ports, but not OK for a company from a country that's also a valuable partner" in the war on terror. Bush added, "It's really important that we not send mixed messages to allies."” Ok, when was the last time Great Britain had a history of funding or harboring terrorists? Hmmm? When was the last time that the United Kingdom threatened our national security at all? There is NO DOUBLE STANDARD here!! This is about common sense!!

 There is evidence that the U.A.E. has even been directly associated with Bin Laden as recently as 1999. Hell, they may have even helped Bin Laden escape a planned missile attack that was aimed to finally rid the world of his evil!! BOOsh sure knows how to pick them there “friends” huh…geez.

 Although President Clinton signed an order to declassify a large amount of documents in 1995, Mr. BOOsh has made it his goal to reclassify all of it. This has become quite a hassle for historians, and I have one question…is this one of the ways he is fighting terrorism? By starting with those damned facts from the past?! Typical Repug, petrified of historical facts.

 Want more proof of the fact that BOOsh is mingling with the enemy? The U.A.E. donated $1,000,000 to BOOsh for his Dictatorial Library in Texas. How’s that for special interest?!

 My friends...it seems that six ports wasn’t enough, because this deal threatens to hand control of 21 ports over to terrorist-ally U.A.E.!! That’s 11 ports on the Atlantic Coast and 10 on the Gulf Coast…what more will it take?

 There is a large amount of BOOsh War vets that are running for Congress this year. 50 of them are Democrats running in opposition to the BOOsh Doctrine! Looks like these brave men and women were fed up with the bulls**t that they were force-fed by the right-wing. Fascism in America will fall soon….

 The recent bombing of a shrine, combined with this evil war and the long-time sectarian feud between the two Islamic factions has brought Iraq closer to the worst-case scenario civil war that many of us fear may be around the corner. If this war does break down, God help us all.

 The largest gathering of Christian churches in a decade recently denounced the Iraq war in addition to BOOsh’s other foreign and domestic policies. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement made by this Union as they aim to restore the great/moral image of the body of Christ.

 In a candle-light vigil that I attended (hosted by my personal friend – and mother of a soldier serving in Iraq – Mona Parsons); we received good responses in our call for an end to the war, and the spy program in addition to a call for Congress to IMPEACH BOOsh!! It was a success as MoveOn.org hosted this coast to coast event, where thousands of Americans across the country stood together and demanded that these bastards be held accountable and made an example. An example that the Constitution should be taken very seriously!

 The Iraqi Police force has been used as a death squad unit that carries out the dirty deeds that their extremist Shiite leader commands of them. Many of Sunnis have been maliciously tortured and/or killed by this movement, and it is only getting worse. Look what BOOsh has created!!

 The Iraqi “government” is petrified that they are on the brink of an endless Civil War. Had we never invaded, and if we had allowed the Iraqis to do the job on their own; this situation would not be an issue right now.

 Bill O’Reilly is now “changing his tone” and saying that we should abandon post in Iraq; saying that Iraqis are just too damned crazy to control. Hmm, if you hadn’t been so damned blinded and ignorant three years ago, maybe we wouldn’t have to deal with them “crazy Iraqis”!!

 Take the time out of your day to thank the B.I.C. for bringing us Roberts and Alito at a time when a ban on “partial-birth” abortions is being considered for reinstatement. That’s right, they are going to consider this ban, in light of the fact that women who might die at child birth could possibly need that right to save their lives. My disgust can hardly be contained.

 In two upcoming cases that could go before the Supreme Court, our environment could come under attack as a possible ruling could withdrawal many streams and wetlands from the protection of the Clean Water Act. This could be a matter of greed or the future of our environment’s health. Where do the loyalties of the extremists Justices lie?

 A local group of people here in Licking County, Ohio are trying to block the “Devil” from building a store in their area. All I have to say is more power to you all!!

 In a cheap attempt to make it look like they care, the “Devil” recently announced their plans to “extend healthcare coverage” to part-time employees and to cut the waiting period for both types of employees. The only catch is that there is no specified cut in how long someone will have to wait before they apply. This evil corporation is still offering to cover so little when their status as the largest corporation in the world would permit them to almost fully cover every person that works for them. Down with the “Devil”? If yes, shame on you! Either way, this “change”, although cheap and almost meaningless, wouldn’t have been possible without the major outcry against their treatment of people!! Keep up the fight!!

 Back to BOOsh briefly... The movement for BOOsh’s Impeachment grows stronger yet again as another Congressman hops on board to demand that BOOsh pay for his crimes!!

 Don't you just love this world of ours?

Tonight's Conclusions

 I find it hilarious and tragic at the same time that the Repugs seem to be falling all over themselves while trying to figure out what to do these days. Life hasn't been on the right track since these guys took control. The following was a mini-speech that I had planned to deliver on the night of the vigil (before I had to cut it in half due to the cold):

 "Mr. Bush has defiled the White House, and has ripped our constitution to threads since January 20^th, 2001. Since that tragic day on September 11^th that same year; this man has used the “war on terrorism” to expand his so-called “executive authority”. First, we had the Patriot Act, which had permitted our government to look into what books we were checking out of the libraries, and opened several doors to allow the definition of “terrorist” to be so vague that it could include any dissenter in Bush’s misbegotten “war”. Then there was the scandalous way in which this Regime led us to war in Iraq – which is Unconstitutional and illegal by International laws -; a war that many reports – including one from Joseph Wilson and the now infamous Downing Street Minutes – have unveiled to be based on a web of deceit. Questionable practices from this “administration” revealed the secret identity of a covert agent during this battle against terrorism in a “vengeful response” to a critic of the invasion.

 

 These violations are just the tip of the Bush Iceberg that threatens to sink our great country in a sea of shame, debt, and conflict. A few months ago, the American public awoke to a new scandal when the New York Times – which had reportedly known about this for about a year before they decided to “break the story” – revealed the NSA Domestic Surveillance Program. This is in violation of the 4^th Amendment to the constitution of the United States. An Amendment that was created: to prevent an overzealous government from infringing on the right to privacy of the people. This Amendment guarantees that the authorities will need a court-issued warrant before they seize private property. No man is above the law.

 

 Bush likes to claim that Presidents Roosevelt, Lincoln and Clinton all did the same thing as he in response to our enemies, but he is ignoring the facts. Lincoln was president during the Civil War, and Roosevelt was President during World War Two. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was enacted until about 30 years after Roosevelt’s death. Clinton did authorize spying on American citizens through the Echelon program, but – as former CIA Director George Tenet recently testified – Clinton sought and received warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to do so.

 

 FISA took away the argument that any Executive Officer could spy on Americans without warrant during war time, and Bush has no excuse! During an inquiry by the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 6^th; Senator Patrick Leahy asked Attorney General Alberto Gonzales whether or not this administration’s interpretation of the act that authorized a response to 9/11 could lead them to spy on the emails and private mail of Americans. Gonzales refused to directly answer him. When asked why this administration didn’t seek the FISC’s approval of the spy program; Gonzales said that they didn’t think they had to. When a man takes the oath of office, he/she swears to protect and defend the Constitution of this great nation. How are they supposed to honor that oath when they spend their tenure in office acting as if the law of the land is a figment of their imagination?

 

 From the Patriot Act, to the illegal war in Iraq; from Valerie Plame to this spy program; this administration has tainted the Executive Branch worse than what we know about Richard Milhouse Nixon’s time in office. I’m not only demanding an inquiry and investigation into this program, I am taking it one step further.

 

 If Republicans can Impeach President Andrew Johnson for firing a member of his administration in “violation” of an unconstitutional Republican law that he would’ve vetoed anyway; and if they can impeach President Bill Clinton for having and lying about an extramarital affair; THEN HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT TAKE TO IMPEACH GEORGE WALKER BUSH?! How many more Americans have to die or be spied on illegally before Congress acts? How many constitutional laws must be broken? How many lies must be told by this regime? If this had been Bill Clinton committing all of these atrocities, the Republican congress would’ve done sacrificed him to the “gods” by now.

 

 Do you realize that unveiling the name of a covert agent – especially in wartime – is TREASON?!! Treason is a considered to be punishable by death, what will this group of thugs receive? As an American, I’m concerned for my family and fellow countrymen, and I pray that this madness ends soon. As a Christian, I shun this regime for its hypocritical and vile nature, and as a human being; I DEMAND JUSTICE! If Congress does not act on these demands, then they will have failed us, and will have shown that they are no better than the authoritarian dictators that our men and women have died fighting to defeat in the past 230 years of our nation’s existence!

 

 Thomas Jefferson once said: “rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” I ask all members of government at all levels this; when you hear or read that Jefferson quote and think about the actions of this administration; what do you believe should be done?"

 

 Until next time...

 

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS

Welcome to Crazy World!!

 After months of endless lying and voicing his support for the Dictatorial Powers of a man calling himself the “president”; Sam Alito was able to slide into Sandra Day O’Connor’s Supreme Court seat just before the Dictator’s big address to the Empire. Thanks to some ass monkeys that are members and cowards in the Democratic Leadership Council, Alito survived a Filibuster and was confirmed to the bench. I’m fed up with all of this “Moderate/Centrist Democrat” CRAP!! Why do we have to be the only ones compromising here?!! Our “leaders” in DLC keep exchanging our values and rights for short-term political points and it is PISSING ME OFF!!

 Oh, how great the Devil (WAL-MART) is…a former Vice Chairman and Protégé of founder Sam Walton pleaded guilty to stealing a huge amount of money from the company. This is the kind of character that makes its way to the top of Wal-Mart’s Management?

 Dictator BOOsh is already breaking promises again. In his Dictation to the Nation speech; the B.I.C. announced that our nation needs to break free from its addiction to oil. As of about two weeks ago; that promise – to break the addiction -is already being broken. We should be used to this by now…In fact, the oil industry is going to receive payment giveaways from BOOsh’s government in the amount of $7 Billion!!! How generous of him…

 To help “fight terrorism” and deal with Illegal Immigrants; Halliburton was recently awarded a contract to help construct detention centers across our nation!! Temporary detention centers for poor people? Sounds a lot like what you read in fiction novels like “1984”!

 Under-funding and mismanagement has led to fallbacks in the reform of our election system. HAVA (Help America Vote Act) was initiated in 2002 (Because of the 2000 sElection that BOOsh stole) and is still far behind on schedule to modernize the system. Do you really think that the B.I.C. wants to fix the election system on a year that he could grasp control of a “filibuster-proof” Congress? Please…

 Thanks to BOOsh, our Trade Deficit now exceeds 700 Billion Dollars with China and Oil being the main reasons. (Take the time out of your day to thank Wal-Mart for helping us accomplish this incredible feat!!)

 To me, I look at BOOsh and see his obsessions with tax cuts, wars and “nucular” stuff to be quite disturbing. He’s now asking our government to bring back the use of nuclear energy; although we abandoned that idea in the seventies because of nuclear proliferation fears. Doesn’t this kind of look hypocritical? Iran and North Korea can’t use nuclear energy, but we can continue to make nuclear weapons and propose new ideas for revived nuclear power!!

 In the very near future; a friend of mine and I will attempt to start a union at Anomatic Corporations (the fifth layer of hell that we work at). We both believe strongly in the labor movement and will push as hard as we can to accomplish our goal of bringing employees and employers on an equal level of negotiation for better hours, wages, benefits and all around satisfaction. However, Repugs do everything they can to discredit the value and importance of Unions in the global economy. Just look at all the evil corporations that fight the establishment of unions…one such group fights unions, MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) the anti-smoking movement and the march against pesticides all in the same breath. Nice priorities!!

 Despite his promise in the Dictation to the Nation speech to make Healthcare more affordable, especially for the poor, the great Dictator’s grand plan to “get rid of the deficit” apparently contradicts his promises to help the Biblically recognized Children of God (Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven); BOOsh and his Repug allies proposed a measure (that passed) that would enact severe cuts in Medicaid funding. It would hurt benefits for over one million people, and force roughly that many poor to pay higher premiums on their healthcare. This evil budget plan, will effect nursing home coverage, mental health coverage and even dental…”Compassionate Conservatism” at it’s “Christian” loving best!!

 In fact, the B.I.C. (Bastard in Chief) has further displayed where his heart belongs in relations to the poor and his duty as a “Christian” to be a Good Samaritan with his $2.77 Trillion budget plan! This plan proposes massive cuts in programs that help the poor or “Non-National Security Programs” (as his Regime refers to them as) while demanding that the budget for making more weapons to blow up other poor people be increased by over $430 Billion!!! I can’t possibly express how much I hate this man…

 Members from both parties are upset by the Dictator’s proposal to cut so much funding for the poor. Now, don’t confuse this with the Repugs actually having a heart. Many of them are only pissed off because BOOsh is announcing these proposals in a vital election year where such plans could cost them control of Congress. The Democrats on the other hand have stood up for these programs since THEY created them over the past 60 years. Read your history books, and research…Repugs have always hated programs that help the poor and encourage diversity, because these programs mean two things; 1) The Rich must be held to account for their fellow and less fortunate American brethren, alongside the fact that they have to accept people for who they are and not what background they were born and raised up in…and 2) It threatens their grip/quest for power and more of it!

 Two people working for FEMA were recently arrested for accepting bribes of over $10,000 to allow inflated reports of how much food the victims were being fed by the Federal Program. So now they are lying about the meals that they are feeding the victims? Disgraceful!!!

 Did the Dictator know about the levee breech before the date they claimed? It’s possible, and if it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they did; then I curse them – again – to hell!!

 According to the Government Accountability Office; BOOsh is the reason so many people died after Katrina struck. Poor structure in the chain of command led to the lackluster response to the storm’s devastation. If Kerry hadn’t “lost” or if the Supreme Court hadn’t stripped Gore of his victory then thousands of people would be alive today!!

 In defense of his service to the government, former chief of FEMA, Michael Brown is also pointing the finger at BOOsh by claiming that he had warned the B.I.C. of the problems that might arise in the aftermath of the storm as the storm was striking!! The BOOsh Regime isn’t taking too kindly to Brownie’s accusations. LOL.

 The response to Katrina could also be explained when one examines the dark history of BOOsh’s first two FEMA chiefs before they took their post. Mr. Brown was experienced in bribery to make a problem go away…sound familiar?

 10,770 Mobile Home that could be used for the Katrina Refugees are sitting – empty – in Hope, Arkansas. Why? I guess that the “loving” leaders just got distracted…*cough*Iraq*cough*oil*cough*

 Insurance Companies are now trying to use major tragedies like Katrina and Hurricane Rita to get a government funded bailout for their industry. These people are no better than the damned oil companies that took advantage of the hurricanes the hike their own profits last year!! Bastards, all of you!!

 The movement for the removal of the Dictator through Impeachment proceedings takes another step as citizens in a town meeting in Vermont propose a vote that will demand that their Congressman support or draft a resolution that will move to Impeach the prick for his numerous crimes against the people and government of this great nation.

 The Repug Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania has even voiced his support for the possible impeachment of BOOsh. Although this guy pisses me off with the majority of what he does and says in our Congress, I have to firmly stand behind him here. A former Marine and current candidate for office is calling for BOOsh’s impeachment and removal. Take it from a Marine; BOOSH MUST GO!!!

 In a recent analyzed assessment of BOOsh defense of his spy program, it has been concluded that the Dictator has been very talented in using deceptive language to again justify his illegal actions. By distorting historical examples of past presidents using executive authority and ignoring the FISA Law altogether, BOOsh is attempting to sugar coat a turd to look like a fresh baked sugar cookie. Question is; how many of you will actually take a bite?

 There are members of Congress that have pointed out that BOOsh had created a “wall” around his spy program by deceiving the public, notifying fewer members of Congress than should be expected and by not listening to criticism and advice from fellow members of the Federal Government on the issue. What do you expect from a Dictator?

 The intrusion into our privacy has even caused some members of the Right wing to question this Bastard’s interpretation of power. Are they waking up yet?

 How far is too far? Apparently, - at least in one BOOsh Regime Official’s mind – BOOsh has the authority not only to order a spy program, but to assassinate “suspected terrorists” on American Soil!! Due Process…what the F*** happened to it?!!! One Repug has even demanded an inquiry into the Stalin-like program to tap into should-be private conversations…great job!!

 There has been an unveiling of vital information that proves – yet again – that the spy program isn’t only unconstitutional, but was also plainly illegal by standards of the FISA Law. The FISA Court was actually notified of the program, and after they were told about it, they then expressed their opposition to it and were assured – by the Lying Liars that run the American Empire – that it would not continue. I have 7 words for this: I-M-P-E-A-C-H!!

 Several major Telecom Corporations have permitted the NSA the access to spy on our long distance phone calls. I urge a mass boycott of Sprint, AT&T and MCI to name a few!!!

 In an attempt to deceive Congress and the people Ass-Grabber Gonzales has come out – at a hearing where Repugs refused to put him under oath…figures - in defense of BOOsh’s misleading statements  in his first four years of white house occupation when the bastard said: ““Secondly, there are such things as roving wiretaps. You know, now, by the way any time you hear the United States talk about wiretaps, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order.”” His defense? BOOsh is “not a lawyer.” So…that should exempt BOOsh from taking responsibility for lying to the people about not tapping into our private conversations? Hell NO!!

 Repug Senator Mike Dewine calls for a bill to legalize the illegal spy program. Oh yes, when the law works against you…change it. Seems typical of these arrogant pricks in power!! A Federal Judge has ordered the BOOsh Regime to release information on the spy program now. The dodging of the truth needs to stop immediately!!

 We Democrats have an alternative – and better – plan to get America back on its feet. The people must look at the bigger picture of what has been transpiring ever since the Repugs took control of our Capital in 1994. We must get back on track or our nation will suffer the worst metaphorical train-wreck ever.

 Watching the Dictation to the Nation last month was pretty nerve racking, with a few exceptions. One big exception was when BOOsh talked about his failure to privatize Social Security. I cheered aloud as the B.I.C. mentioned this and was even happier when my fellow Democrats in office did the same in the Capitol Building!! Now, our men and women in Congress need to defend our other rights in this Second Session of the 109^th Congress!!

 Here in Ohio, our party has quite the uphill battle ahead of us, but we will not and shall not relent. This fight must rage on and we must take back our Towns /Townships /Cities /etc., States, and Country!!!

 There were two major disappointing moments last week for me and my fellow Liberals. State Senator Eric Fingerhut (whom ran and lost to Voinovich in 2004 for the Senate) dropped out of the Governor Race and Major Paul Hackett dropped out of the Race for Dewine’s Senate seat. Both were pressed out because of how much money they raised and the lack of support from the National Democratic Party. I understand that the leaders of my party want to win this thing at all costs, but if we continue to favor the guys that are “better” merely for their name recognition over the ones that are TRUTHFULLY better for the job then we will continue to lose these damn things!! Root out the DLC from influencing the party!!!

 The Newark Advocate is now claiming that there is no real competition for Bob Ney in the upcoming election…that’s a load of Repug Bull**it!! I can name FOUR Democrats that have announced their intentions to run against Ney: Jennifer Stewart (member of the Ohio Board of Education), Joe Sulzer (Mayor of Chillicothe), Zach Space (Experienced Lawyer and a great man), and someone named Ralph Applegate. On the other hand – the man that I have been supporting – Jeff Woollard whom has a degree in college that displays his qualifications for handling many of our problems that our nation suffers today. Just because there isn’t a Nationwide or Statewide known Candidate on the list doesn’t mean anything!! Each of these people will work their hardest for this State and this Country, and that is qualification enough for me!! Mr. Woollard didn’t file his petition in time to be in the Primary, but may still run as an Independent. Nevertheless, I think we have more than enough choices in this race.

 The DLC has manipulated our party for the last time…just look at the voting record to see how many of our fellow Democrats betrayed Russ Feingold in his fight to filibuster the Patriot Act.

 Doesn’t BOOsh just wish he had the poll numbers that Clinton enjoyed?...LMAO

 USA Today reports that the BOOsh Regime has been freezing fewer terrorist assets as the past few years have come and gone. Well of course, all of the energy in directly fighting terrorism has been siphoned by the global quest to expand the BOOsh Empire!

 The reconstruction effort in Afghanistan is also lagging as few of the promises made by the Dictator have actually come to pass. According to the Washington Post; one third of Rural Families in that country lack enough food for a season. Shameful.

 Although BOOsh and Company are insisting that Iran not be permitted to gain a nuclear weapon, there are reports that the CIA gave Iran blue prints for making such a weapon back in 2000. Why? Stay tuned to that story.

 Since the B.I.C. started his endless “war on terror”; he has actually made the situation much worse than what it was throughout Clinton’s two term presidency. Progress?

 The air attack that attempted to kill bin-Laden’s number two man in al-Qaeda not only missed its “intended target” and killed may innocent people in Pakistan, and caused worse relations with that region of the world, but has also helped the arrogance and rhetoric of our declared “enemies”. Great job BOOsh!!

 With the clear threat of Iran pulling out of a Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and engaging in full scale enrichment of Uranium; I believe that these waters should be traveled with care. This is a dangerous situation that we don’t want to blow up in our faces. However, after the IAEA voted to report Iran to the United Nations for possible sanctions; Iran has – in fact – chosen to end cooperation with the group and go into full scale uranium enrichment. The drumbeat of war gets louder.

 Gay-lord BOOsh has also come out – in an attempt to distract us from the questions regarding the proper use of executive authority - with a claim that his Regime helped prevent a terror attack on Los Angeles a couple years ago. According to an FBI official and the Mayor of L.A.; that never happened. LOL

 Guantanamo Bay has been holding quite a bit of people without any charges. According to one report, a certain percentage of these people seem to have no real ties to terrorism at all, but yet they continue to be detained without formal charges. BOOsh occupies the white house and the constitution is thrown out the window!!

 If we are to aim for peace in the Middle East; then we must avoid any further conflicts in that region. As some have advised before; a war with Iran would be tumultuous!!

 The B.D. (Bitch of the Dictator) Condoleezza Rice has laid down an outline of how the Regime views Iran. Let’s just say that they consider it to be our biggest problem and basically our main foreign relations problem. War edges closer…

 The Invasion-of-Liberties (“Patriot”) Act has taken a large step towards renewal as a filibuster attempt was defeated when certain “changes” were made in a deal between a selection of Repugs and the Regime. Senator Russ Feingold has come out swinging against this evil piece of legislation noting that the “changes” merely only lift the “gag order” on questioning government invasions of privacy while investigating suspected terrorist, but still fail the test when considering that the changes only permit challenges to investigations after a year and require undisputable proof that the government committed wrongdoing in conducting the investigation. Now who in the hell can properly challenge the Federal Government’s credibility? This is just another shaft-job by the Dictator and his cronies in Congress!!

 In the aftermath of the UN’s first official report on Guantanamo Bay Prison; the United Nations has now condemned the camp basically as a center for torture and has called for a release or official charging/trial of each detainee and the shutdown of the Prison. The UN has further stated that although the BOOsh Regime views the camp as being exempted from the Geneva Conventions; that still doesn’t exempt the camp from treating the prisoners properly and with the same rights as POWs!!

 Exactly how are we supposed to avoid war with Iran when the B.D. in this Regime is calling that country the “central banker of terrorism”?!!! We don’t need another war!!!!

 The drawings of the prophet Mohammed have made the “war on terror” easier….yes…you can sense my sarcasm can’t you? I kind of don’t blame these people for being so pissed off, after all wasn’t it our so-called “Christian” ancestors that got all pissed off after the “desecration of Christ’s SUSPECTED tomb” and start the Crusades in response? Frankly, I believe fundamentalists would have no room to talk.

 Not only did our Imperial Military invade Iraq, but now it appears that the deadly H5N1 Virus has too!! That’s right, the Avian Flu is now in Iraq, with our men and women…God be with them.

 Remember Dumb-ass Rums-failed’s statement that the Insurgents are terrorists, and that we don’t negotiate with them? Well, I guess that is changing, because the Regime is reporting that there have been ongoing negotiations with “Insurgent leaders” to bring an end to the fighting (much to the opposition of the Iran-friendly Dominated Iraqi Government). O.k., I don’t know if this is genuine or if it is just plain propaganda, but this seems a little weird to me. Explain to me how we are supposed to trust that the Insurgents have a center command center where all the “leaders” can meet and talk with the Occupational Forces…I thought they weren’t very organized. Nevertheless, I’m happy if there are – in fact – talk going on, but this just goes to show how much faith you can really have in the Authoritarian misfits that run things here in our country.

 Stop-Loss strikes again as the “back-door draft” that Kerry warned about has forced another large group of our soldiers into serving longer than they agreed to. The promises to our bravest keep getting broken as 50,000 of these great men and women were told to stay over their original set time. This is pure bulls**t!!

 According to a report, the funding for Iraq’s Reconstruction has been cut (well, that’s just for rebuilding, not the blowing up and killing part). With Water, Electric and Food well below prewar standards; our “liberation” has only brought more pain and insult to injury!

 The British are starting to get really anxious about jumping off this “Nation Building” bandwagon with the American Empire. They are promising to begin the withdrawal process soon. Looks like they too have had enough of the American Dictator’s crap…as have the Japanese as they have promised to complete the withdrawal by May.

 Has $440,000,000,000 been well spent? You be the judge.

 An Ex-CIA Official has come out and accused the BOOsh Regime of misleading the World in the lead up to this evil war in Iraq; citing that the so-called WMDs threat wasn’t even what led to war. He confirms everything that the Downing Street Memos unveiled last spring!!

 A study recently found that roughly 1/3 of Iraq War Vets will suffer from PTSD. Remember the Repug fight against any treatment of the disorder that they seem to believe is a figment of our collective imaginations?

 The Pentagon and the Dictator can ask for another 100+ Billion dollars in funding for the wars they started but can’t help put the proper armor on our men and women to help them serve? What kind of a country is this? What does it tell you about “leaders” when they ask for more money to make weapons but leave the body armor to family FUNDRAISERS?!!!

 In a huge scandal that involves prostitution, drugs and expensive cars; a man with influence in handing out contracts in the rebuilding process of Iraq had handed out special favors and a ton of money in exchange for the loyalty of certain people. So, now our tax dollars are being used to buy Porsches, big diamond rings and a little nookie on the side…that’s just great!!

 When a shirt that displayed the number of U.S. Soldiers killed in this evil conflict was revealed on the night of the Dictation to the Nation; Cindy Sheehan was ousted from the Capitol Building minutes before the B.I.C. came out. She was removed with force and then spent the night behind bars for expressing her right to free speech!! This is a horrendous action by our increasingly authoritarian empire!!

 A group of elderly women were arrested for protesting outside a military recruitment office and demanding their right to enlist. I want to know where it says in our constitution that we can’t organize in front of government buildings? As long as it is peaceful…this is pathetic.

 The Media has been lying about the WMDs in Iraq before the war to try and help cover up the blunder that is BOOsh’s war for imperial conquest. That’s exactly one of the main reasons that I decided to boycott the Mainstream Media last summer!

 Members of Congress are demanding that the Dictator release more information regarding his relationship with Jack Abramoff before the news of this whole scandal broke out. BOOsh is refusing to cooperate because he feels that these pictures are private and would be used “for political gain”. Excuses, I swear that this ass face lies through his teeth regularly and would stop breathing if he couldn’t tell even a single fib.

 The Former Chief Procurement Officer under the BOOsh Regime had tipped Abramoff on the fact that four of his clients were about to lose their federal contracts. This information was confidential, but that didn’t stop this relationship between the corrupted lobbyist and the BOOsh Regime from leaking that information.

 Scooter Libby has come out challenging whether or not Plame was a covert agent when her name was discussed, but his attempts have failed as it has – in fact – been revealed that she was undercover. So, now that we know that she was most likely on a mission when her name was unveiled by the BOOsh Regime…can we impeach and charge them for treason?!!!

 Although there is a law that was passed in 1978 that ensured that no President or VP could ever do what Richard Nixon did with the infamous tapes again; most records from 2003 or before (in the BOOsh Regime) may have been deleted/destroyed. This is kind of funny, considering that this now “missing” information could have been useful in helping Mr. Libby clear his name. I think that the Regime is trying to force their scapegoat into taking the fall to protect the rest of their asses!!

 BOOsh and his Regime have come out in defense of the evil Repug redistricting action in Texas that cemented their control over Congress, Texas State Legislature and the entire Federal Government. Of course they’d defend that…duh!!

 Just when you think that the new Majority Leader – Mr. Boehner (Boner….LMAO) – help bring an end to corruption in the government; we learn that Mr. Boner has been renting a D.C. apartment from a lobbyist. They just can’t stop…LOL

 I’m not even going to say much about this: The Dictator plans on selling 300,000 acres of our land to pay for schools that wouldn’t need the funding if the B.I.C. hadn’t cut it in the first place to divert it to the defense budget!!!

 According to some reports, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (Repug) may have accepted ½ a Million Dollars to cover up genocide…who says that this guy wouldn’t do the same in the case of an American Genocide or genocide with any of our other “allies”? Take back the House in 2006 and replace Hastert!!!

 There is yet another link between Repug Leadership/BOOsh Regime and Abramoff…LOL. Their dark cloud edges closer….

 Mr. Libby has come out claiming that the leak of Plame’s identity was authorized by the Dictator and Darth Cheney themselves…more evidence to show the evil nature of the two that run things here in this godforsaken Empire. They would actually threaten national security to protect their special interest war!

 The true selfish nature of McCain rears its ugly repug head as he strikes out in typical Repug form against Barrack Obama. I congratulate Obama for his hard work in trying to bring honesty back to our government and shame McCain for his shameful actions in office.

 Repugs have just reamed our veterans yet again as they have shot down a bill in the Senate that would’ve improved veteran’s hospitals across the country while paying for it by “rolling back” a portion of the tax cuts for the richest among us. Does it really surprise any of you? Every American that truly cares about the sacrifices of every soldier that has ever served our country should speak out and educate everyone they know about the screw job these bastards do to our soldiers and veterans!!

 No matter what our Democrats in the Senate do, the damned Repugs do everything they can to block or kill any movement to move our country forward and get honest answers to the many questions that the people have.

 Three more Repugs seem to be tied to the Abramoff Scandal…this just keeps getting better, eh?

 Even better is that this scandal seems to be so intertwined with BOOsh Regime officials that there is even no escape for them in this dark cloud!! As Mr. Burns would say: “Excellent!!”

 Would you remember a guy if they contributed $100,000 to your campaigns for President, attended several photo shoots with you (including one with Legislators), had a business relationship with your Chief Advisor, and was now under investigation? Would you remember that guy? Because BOOsh certainly doesn’t have that ability.

 Bob Ney (unfortunately, my Congressman) went on a golf trip to Scotland that was hosted by Jack Abramoff to gain political favors. What was one of the methods of paying for this trip? Well, Mr. Abramoff confessed that he used over 100,000 dollars from a special foundation’s funds to help pay for it all…distasteful and disgusting.

 How much does the BOOsh Regime like Jewish people? Take a look for yourself.

 My State of Ohio is disgraced from the local to state to federal levels with Repugs that hate minorities (not just a reference to minorities in race, but in religion, and sexual preference as well). I’m fed up with that party and wish every day that I could go give their local headquarters a piece of my mind every time I pass it on North 4^th Street in Newark, Ohio. Argh!!

 The media keeps trying to claim that Democrats have also got money from Abramoff but they are lying through their damned teeth. Where is this proof at?!!!

 Even the Repugs seem to hate Ney so much that they are scrambling to get him out of office. That’s a funny thing about Repugs…they are only allies until each individual Repugs grasp for power interferes with another’s….lol

 In a twist of fate that has humor, irony, and scandal all mixed up into one incident; Darth Cheney suddenly shot a fellow 78 Year Old Repug while hunting – illegally and drunk – for quails. The poor guy took shotgun pelts to the face and upper torso. From what I have heard, the guy suffered a mild heart attack shortly after the incident. What did Cheney get? A slap on the wrist, while a regular citizen whom committed the same crime (hunting without the proper stamp to hunt quails) received a citation. Just because someone is in office; it should never mean that they received different treatment when it comes to breaking the law. However, seeing how things have worked out with the Neo-Con Ran Empire in the past decade; this kind of thing is all too common. Hell, even the Dictator himself condones of this action…duh. According to one report; Cheney’s explanation that BOOsh so praises is filled with lies. Apparently Lord Cheney decided that he should join the fight – in tort reform – in his own way.

Tonight's Conclusion

 My personal life has been doing progressively better in the past few weeks. Next week will be a big one for me, as I start my third term of college, look to attend my first City Council Meeting, attend a Constitution Vigil on Wednesday and move forward with campaigning on behalf of fellow Democrats to replace Repugs in power this year.

 Last week, I met the new Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party (Chris Redfern) and was impressed with the man I saw. He's very nice and funny. "OSM" remains on the ropes as I sit here typing this today. I guess I was wrong to insist that ODJFS controlled Medicaid (City Council Woman At-Large Irene Kennedy notified me that I was wrong...thanks Irene). However, it was the fault of the Repugs in office that I contacted Job and Family Services in the first place!! ODJFS deals with Medicaid, they just don't control it.

 At work, I've been involved in a plot to organize a union at Anomatic Corporations. I'm tired of the lack of benefits, better hours and wages. It's high time that we stood up and fought for what we deserve!!

 Spiritually, I have abandoned Gilgal Bible "Church". My search for the right church continues.

 That's it for now...until next time....

TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
