Ablogination

You're on the point. Keep your eyes open, you're heads clear, watch where you step. If you nominate Clinton or Obama you will have effectively started the Democratic party on a disastrous, one-way trip on the yourefucked express.
Neither one of those clowns can win a general election against the Republican candidate no matter who it is....

Strickland was right...

In an interview with The Dispatch last week, Strickland said the Iowa caucuses make "no sense." He called the GOP and Democratic caucuses "hugely undemocratic," because the process "excludes so many people." Anyone who happens to be working or is sick or too old to get out for a few hours Thursday night won't be able to participate, Strickland said.

Power-hungry sudo-Republicans like Hillary Clinton and naive wannabes like Barack Obama love situations like your's. Limited voter input usually works in favor of the Media Whores.

All we ask is that you get your heads out of the corn field and wake up to the reality that John Edwards is the only first-tier candidate that can win in '08. If you imagine anything else you're lying to yourself and fucking your country's chances for real, effective, dramatic change.
If you fall for the corporate media push to promote Hillary and Obama, you will become the single biggest suckers in America since the Evangelicals fell for the promises of the GOP and their Israeli masters.

You've shown us that you can grow corn. You've shown us that you love your country. You've shown us that you're a good place to escape from the cops in Minnesota.
Now show us that you're not a bunch of hayseeds that will buy into any DLC/GOP/MSM propaganda that gets thrown at you.

You know that Edwards is your guy. And the rest of us are counting on you to lead the way back to democracy and away from corporate rule.

Third and goal from the nine...don't blow it.

We have said before that Bin Laden has been dead for some time.

Bin Laden Been Dead

Now it seems we have some very credible proof...

The TN Guerilla Women bring us this amazing revelation from the great Mike Malloy.
Malloy astutely points out that during this interview with the late Benazir Bhutto, conducted by David Frost, Ms. Bhutto, who was recently assassinated in Pakistan, states clearly, casualy and oddly enough in passing, that Osama Bin Laden was "murdered".
She said it in passing, as though it was common knowledge.

Clearly it was common knowledge to us, but to many that will come as quite a shock since we've been seeing and hearing "tapes" "issued by Bin Laden" according to the Bush Administration.

We're the Deciders!

Has the criminal regime that has occupied the White House for the last seven years perpetrated a hoax upon the American people in order to keep us fearful of the boogie man and keep the war drums pounding? You bet your ass they have.

I urge all of you that bought this "Bin Laden is alive and planning attacks against America" horse shit to listen to Mike Malloy in this video and listen closely to Bhutto as she spills the beans that BushCo has worked so hard to contain.

BIN LADEN IS DEAD

...And she fingered Pervez Musharraf and Omar Sheikh.

It's all a lie. A lie designed to keep you all afraid and willing to give up your freedom. Osama bin Laden is dead, Al Qaida is a manufactured illusion that's used as a scape-goat upon which the blame for staged terrorist acts can be laid.

Al Qaida was formed by the CIA, and my guess is, they still run it.

It's amazing the things you hear when you really listen closely.

Thanx, Ms. Bhutto. You really did leave us something to remember you by. Rest in Peace.

UPDATE:

Looks like we have a brand new "tape from Bin Laden". LOL! What a coincidence.
NEW FAKE BIN LADEN TAPE.

As we approach the time of giving and receiving that we normally refer to as Christmas or the "Holidays", and as we sit around the nice, warm dinner table or the pretty, glistening Christmas Tree with the seasonally packaged Mao-Mart goods and stockings hung by the chimney with care...

Keep in mind that for many, there's nothing "Merry" or "Happy" about it.

Enjoy that ham.
-captainkona

So, this is Christmas. The joy that it brings...

...the toasts that we toast, and the songs that we sing...

...thoughts of our loved ones and friends that we cherish...

...we pray that our hope and our dreams will not perish...

...we see then our children, our bundles of joy. We pray that their future will not be destroyed...

...we long for a time when they're all free to roam...

...we ask God why some never come home...

...often we wonder "what's it all for"...

...the how's and the why's and how many more?...

...yes, this is Christmas, let glad tidings display...

...may the good Lord protect us on our path to decay.

There's no telling. The operation may or may not have saved her life. The problem is, someone held money in higher regard than the life of 17 year old Nataline. This is what we, as a nation, have devolved into.

The greed, self-centered arrogance, and total lack of humanity that the corporate powers-that-be have displayed violates ever single principal Americans ever held dear.
From Enron thieves to Blackwater murderers to Halliburton rapists, to Cigna HMO. All have done tremendous harm to both individual and to nation, for to harm one is to harm us all.

If anyone (anyone with a soul that is) doesn't see the dire need for National Health Care by now, they either make their living ripping off those in need, or they are simply soulless, carbon-based life forms that exist only to take up space.

CIGNA HMO (Health Maintenance Organization)
They are the oldest HMO in the nation.
You'd think by now that they would know what they're doing.
Oh, they know what they're doing when it comes to trading people's lives for money, but when it comes to being part of the solution, they are more clueless now than ever.
Recently, CIGNA was criticized by hundreds of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals after the company refused to pay for a liver transplant for a California teenage girl, Nataline Sarkisyan, justifying their refusal to pay by claiming that the procedure was "too risky." In response to much protest and public scrutiny, CIGNA finally reversed its decision, but only too late to save Ms. Sarkisyan who died awaiting the transplant.

CIGNA defended their actions by stating that the procedure was "experimental," and that there was no medically accepted evidence that the procedure would work.

Martyr

From the Scotsman....

By CHRIS STEPHEN
THE family of a Californian teenager who died in hospital waiting for a liver transplant is to sue her insurance company after it initially refused to pay for the operation and only relented hours before her death.
In a case highlighting the controversies surrounding the insurance-based healthcare system in the US, the parents of 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan were at first told there was no cover for the operation despite doctors at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) medical centre deciding that she needed the transplant.

A letter had been sent to insurer Cigna on 11 December but the firm said the treatment was "experimental" and was thus not covered by the family's policy.

The decision triggered a week of protests outside the company office in Glendale, California, with nurses joining friends and family. Hundreds of callers jammed the company's switchboard demanding it take action.

On Thursday, Cigna changed its mind, saying it would pay for the operation after all. But hours later Nataline, who was in a coma, was pronounced dead.

"She passed away and the insurance (company) is responsible for this," said her mother, Hilda. "Only God can tell me what's going to happen to my daughter, not Cigna."

Lawyers for the family are pursuing a case of Negligent homicide against CIGNA and rightfully so. It's time that one of these fat-cat, 4 million dollar per year CEO's goes to prison. The Enron trial didn't seem to tighten their ass up enough so maybe it's time for another Ken Lay.

These HMO types are not physicians. They are not trained, qualified medical personnel. They are poorly educated wind-bags that answer the phone, ask you what's wrong, type some shit into their computer and tell you what the computer says. If computer says "you're fucked", then you're fucked.
How may of you called TennCare in the past only to be routed to some schmuck in Arizona that tells you that "you're condition isn't that bad"? How do they know? Easy, they don't. That's what computer told them. How do you know they didn't type in the wrong words? That's all it takes to kill someone in HMO Land.

Cigna is by no means the only such HMO. There are plenty of others, all competing to out price each other and your health becomes secondary to the price wars they constantly wage.
* Aetna Inc. (AET)
* Humana Inc. (HUM)
* UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH)
* WellPoint, Inc. (WLP)
* Anyone who competes for money and will kill human beings to get it. (FUC)

This has gone on long enough. Far too long. Insurance companies have far too much power and they must be cut off at the knees. From laws requiring auto insurance to rabid Drug Testing of American workers to incompetent HMOs. The insurance industry must be beaten into submission. America needs National Health Care because the Corporate version has failed.

Presidential hopeful, John Edwards had this this say...

"Are you telling me that we're gonna sit at a table and negotiate with those people?" asked a visibly angered Edwards, challenging the health care companies. "We're gonna take their power away and we're not gonna have this kind of problem again."

Edwards also told the audience of about a hundred people at the Score Pavillion in Nevada, Iowa, that it will take a fighter (i.e. him) - and not a negotiator (ii.e. Obama) - to take on large insurance companies like CIGNA.

"Anybody who thinks that we don't have a fight in front of us is living in Never-Never Land," he said.

CIGNA-"A Business of Caring"?
Yeah, about money.

I know that the Clinton Groupie section of the Democratic Party will never admit to truth any more than the Republican Right-Wing will. But that doesn't change reality for the rest of us...

This need only be short and sweet.

If anyone didn't realize by now, or if there's anyone that's still trying to cling to the myth that is Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton ways, I suspect that you've read me compare the Clinton's to the Bush's. I suspect you, in your blindness, became angry with me.

You've read me state that there is not enough difference between the Bush Family and the Clinton family, that a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bush. You refused to believe some potheads on the outskirts of the net and dismissed us as "Clinton Haters".

Well, Bill Clinton agrees with us. Now what do you have to say?

That's right, boy. Bow to your master.

Bill Bush Speaks

December 17, 2007
Bill Clinton: George H.W. Bush will help President Hillary

Bill Clinton said former president George H.W. Bush will help fix damage done to America's reputation by his son, George W. Bush.

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

A spokesman for the George H.W. Bush was not immediately available to comment on whether the former president would chip in some diplomatic help after his son leaves office next year.

Clinton and the elder Bush, rivals in the 1992 presidential election, have grown chummy in recent years, often traveling and appearing at public events together. In 2005, they started a charity to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

UPDATE: The Republican National Committee issued this statement in response to Clinton's comments:

"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."

Hillary Clinton = Bush third term.

Now, accidents happen. No doubt. Sometimes the timing just screws you up and there's not much you can do. You look at the stereo for a split second and in that same split second, the other guy did the same thing and you wreck. Shit happens, that's a fact.....

The real question is, Why do some people seem intent on causing an accident? What ever happened to commuter courtesy? Respect for other drivers on the road?
There are still plenty of people that drive like they DON'T have their head up their ass, but here in Bristol, of all the places I've ever lived, there is a remarkably large amount of people that for whatever reason cannot seem to get it. Driving is so easy, and often a pleasurable experience. At least until the you encounter The Idiots.

On only two occasions in my life have I seen worse displays of driving than I have right here at home. When I lived in the then still developing United Arab Emirates, I used to revel in watching Pakistani taxi drivers run into each other, run off the road, run over anything in their path. They only had cars there for about four years when I was there. Just imagine thousands of three year olds on giant Big Wheels...thus was the Pakistani Taxi Driver of Abu Dhabi.

Then there was Tijuana, Mexico. The word for "STOP" in Mexico is "ALTO". Either Tijuana Mexicans can't read, or all the drivers there are blind. No one in Tijuana has ever stopped at a stop sign. I can't figure out why the Mexican gov't even bothers to pay for the signs. Just take them down, nobody bothers anyway and there's still a wreck on every corner.

Then there was Southern California in the early Ninties. Cell Phones had just gone compact. There were so many accidents caused by goofballs arguing with their wives while driving, California was forced to outlaw the use of cell phones while driving.

Unfortunately, we seem to have our fair share of "Pakistani Taxi Drivers", "Tijuana Mexicans", and "Cell Phone Goofballs" right here in beautiful Bristol.

Time for a little Driver's Ed:

1) Hang up and drive, moron. I have seen you people that have cell phones glued to your empty heads cause other drivers to run off the road and you never even realized what you did. The last time I saw some bozo nearly cause a wreck the bozo was a cop. He was running his motor-mouth so much he caused another driver to come to a screeching halt and never once even looked back. Didn't even notice. And can't you young ladies shut your ever-running fly traps long enough to get from point A to point B? You're going to get yourself or someone else killed. Get a Blue Tooth, or some super glue! Have the fucking thing molecularly bonded to your ear or some shit! Just keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the living beings in front of you. It's not a video game.

2) Stop rounding off your turns! What kind of moron can't pull up to an intersection, apply the brake a little, actually move their arms so that the steering wheel turns, and make a turn without ripping someone's quarter panel off? Do you know how stupid you look?!
One idiot in the Fairmont area, as I pulled up to the stop sign and actually stopped, had to slam on his breaks, stop, maneuver around my car and out of my lane and go around. Just to make a simple left turn on a surface street.
Then this fucking clown gave me a dirty look as though I was the one driving in the wrong lane. It happens too often. Even the Pakistani Taxi Driver is smarter than that.
Quit rounding off your turns! Rude, discourteous, hap-hazard lazy bastard!

3) The sign says "STOP". Do you speak English? Can you read? If you managed to make it past My Pet Goat and See Spot Run, you should know what the word "STOP" means. It's painted right there on those big, red, octo-shaped signs that often appear at smaller intersections. They're called "STOP" signs, Joe Bob. They're there to keep vehicles from slamming into other vehicles. Sound fair? Does that make any fucking sense to you, you complete and total half-wit?! Then, these buffoons get mad at you because you don't run the stop sign too!
Are you from America or from Tijuana? It's hard to tell because you look American but drive Tijuana Mexican!
Stop signs are in our neighborhoods to protect our children, pets and others from fucking tire-spinning morons that shouldn't be allowed to ride anything other than a fucking bus!!

Now, for those of us that pull over to talk on the phone, actually stop at stop signs, aren't to lazy and stupid to move our arms and turn the wheel, and actually make an effort to show people some basic respect while driving...I salute you.

As for Mr., Miss, and Mrs. Tijuana-Pakistani-No drivin' Cell Phone Air-Head...For all you do, this blog's for you.

Wow, that felt good.

Seems the Nazi Shitbirds at the Des Moine Register Newspaper have finally found a way to exclude Dennis Kucinich from the Iowa Democratic Debate. His Iowa staff, in an effort to conserve spending, have been working out of their homes. This is the only excuse the Des Moine Register has offered for their skulduggery.

Fuck them, their Newspaper, and whatever DLC Pig might have paid them off.

SOURCE

The Iowa Debate is no debate. In our eyes it's invalid and we will neither view it nor post excerpts from it. Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel were discriminated against by vermin that probably received some sort of compensation from the Democratic Right.

It's "Democracy" not "Demockracy". Or at least it's supposed to be. The DLC/BlueDogs become more and more like the Neo-Cons every day. Seeking to destroy that which they fear. That which is just and true.

They all must go. The other Dems should have refused to go on unless their colleagues were permitted to participate. This is probably the most spineless showing I have seen out of the entire field. They are all equally responsible for this treachery.
Pathetic, very pathetic.

Dennis Kucinich will now, without any doubt, receive our votes in the Democratic Primary.

Thanx to our friends at Representative Press for their vigilance.

Inter-party Treachery

Dennis Kucinich, the highest polling Democratic Presidential candidate among the Party’s progressive, grassroots and activist base has been excluded from a national debate because a newspaper insists that his Iowa field director rent a storefront rather than work from home. See

Despite being the top-ranked Presidential candidate in polls conducted by Democracy for America (DFA), Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), and one of the country’s leading progressive publications, The Nation, Kucinich was not invited to participate in the debate because “It was our determination that a person working out of his home did not meet our criteria for a campaign office and full-time paid staff in Iowa,” according to a statement from the Des Moines Register’s top officials, including editor Carolyn Washburn (515) 284-8502.

Laura Hollingsworth President and Publisher (515) 284-8041
Randy Brubaker Managing Editor (515) 284-8590
Randy Evans Assistant Managing Editor (515) 284-8118

The Des Moines Register letters to the editor e-mail: letters@dmreg.com
Telephone switchboard
Local: (515) 284-8000
Iowa: (800) 532-1455
Outside Iowa: (800) 247-5346

Vote in the Primary for Dennis Kucinich!

We all need to vote TWO TIMES! Vote for Kucinich in the Primary and then in the General Election. THAT is how he CAN WIN!

The "person working out of his home" was a dismissive reference to Kucinich Iowa Field Director and State Coordinator Marcos Rubinstein, who coordinates campaign activities from his home office in Dubuque, bolstered by a dozen-or-so other senior campaign staff who have traveled the state over the past several months.

Both the DFA and PDA have been extremely active in Iowa in the past few weeks promoting the top vote-getters in their on-line polls. The DFA is planning to run full-page ads featuring Kucinich, as well as second and third-place finishers John Edwards and Barack Obama; and the 90,000-member PDA has been sending emails to its Iowa members advising them that Kucinich scored first with 41% while Edwards came in a distant second at 26%.

The results of those polls, and others showing Kucinich ahead of “invited” candidates – Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd – apparently carried no weight at the Des Moines Register, despite the fact that the newspaper and other national media have been portraying the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses as a national political event that may determine the outcome of the Presidential race.

“The Iowa caucuses have been portrayed as having national implications, and if the Register has decided to use hair-splitting technicalities to exclude the leading voice of the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, then the entire process is suspect,” according to a statement from the Kucinich campaign. The Iowa Democratic Party, Iowa Public Television, and well-funded political interests have barred Kucinich from previous public appearances. “The Des Moines Register’s arbitrary and unreasonable exclusion of Congressman Kucinich is consistent with the treatment that the Congressman has received from the entrenched political and institutional interests in Iowa.”

Kucinich, his campaign pointed out, is the only Democratic Presidential candidate who voted against the Iraq war authorization in 2002 and every war-funding measure since. He has been warning for years that the Administration’s belligerence toward Iran is unjustified, and, last week’s revelations in the National Intelligence Estimate confirm that. He is the only Democratic candidate who voted against the Patriot Act, and the only Democratic candidate who has called for the repeal of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because of its disastrous effect on U.S. jobs. Kucinich is also the only candidate pushing for a national, not-for-profit, single-payer health insurance system that will cover all Americans.

“He is also the only major candidate who has been excluded from Thursday’s debate,” said his campaign. “The Des Moines Register, Iowa Public Television, the Iowa Democratic Party, and other broadcast sponsors should be asked to explain why the leading voice in the progressive Democratic constituency has been denied a presence and a voice in this debate.”

We need to get as many people as possible to hear the facts the media isn't telling them.

As much as I loath this particular cast of characters in The US Supreme Court, they have managed to render a rare, intelligent decision. Untying the hands of judges by waylaying the mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines is a huge step in the right direction when it comes to the arcane Drug Laws this nation suffers under...

Mandatory Minimums. A sad testimony to a nation and a government blinded by their own fear of the unknown. The result of a Right-Wing propaganda campaign that dates back to the early 1900s, the Drug War and the mindless, soulless, detestable abuse it's caused Americans to suffer has never, ever addressed the underlying issues that cause people to use and abuse.
It has never recognized even the dramatic differences between drugs and drug offenders.
The mandatory minimums have been in effect since 1984 when congress so foolishly and irresponsibly began this farce.

No distinction has been made between a decent person who fell into the unyielding cycle of drug abuse and the slimeball that would kill over a kilo of idiot powder. No distinction has ever been made between those who abuse and are in need of help, and those that self-medicate, know exactly what they're doing, and don't want to hear your shit.

Long prison sentences do not ever reduce drug related crime. They never have and never will. The cause of drug related crime is criminalization, so how could they?
Our prisons are filled with people that were sentenced under mandatory minimum guidelines. And there they sit, in the pen doing all the drugs they want.
There is no "rehabilitation". There is no "correction". There is no logic involved with locking some dude that gets high up for twenty years. What does it accomplish other than to produce yet another institutionalized, disenfranchised, pissed-off-at-the-world convict who now has no social skills, no chance at meaningful employment, and no idea what to do with their life?

The trend seems to be (thankfully) lighter, alternative sentencing and attempts, mostly futile, at rehabilitation.

If the corrections industry actually wanted to help a person that's gone too far find their way, they would build treatment facilities faster than they build prisons. It only takes about 30 to 90 days to dry someone out. After that, with meaningful support and education (not the idiots at probation and parole), a person that wants to regain control will have the best chance. I say "regain control" because there is no cut and run from drug addiction. You can only do your drugs instead of letting your drugs do you.

Now, with judges being empowered to consider that a person dealing drugs can have a wide variety of reasons for doing so, we may wind up seeing a little compassion in sentencing. Judges aren't perfect, but they're smarter than politicians. I'll take my chances with a judge anytime over being fodder for a DA with ambitions.
There is the dealer that deals because he's greedy, the dealer that deals because he's too stupid or lazy or both to work, the dealer that knows that due to criminalization, he can get rich dealing faster than he can get rich working. Then there's the dealer that just deals to afford his own stash. Or the guy that has a parent in a nursing home and has to pay for care. Or any one of the millions of people that deal a little to friends to supplement their meager income.
Do we include them with the greedy and stupid? The gov't does.

Now aside from this remarkably sensible ruling, I find it equally amazing that the court seemed to follow the assertions and advice of the The House Judiciary Committee which is chaired by the great congressman John Conyers...

"When the penalties for drug possession were set, the punishment for crack was set higher because lawmakers believed crack was a more dangerous drug -- and associated with more violent behavior -- than powdered cocaine. Research has shown that there is no real difference in the potential dangers of crack or powdered cocaine. There is, however, a difference in the type of user that favors the two drugs: Because of its much-lower street price, crack is associated with poor, minority and urban users, while powder cocaine tends to be favored by more affluent users.

Over 80 percent of those convicted on crack cocaine charges are black. These nonviolent drug offenders would be better served by a drug treatment facility but are, instead, sentenced to long sentences -- overcrowding prisons and running up a prison expense tab that is now in the billions".

Interesting. The most conservanoid SCOTUS we've had in decades and finally some progress (no matter how small) is made in the pure, Iraqesque madness that is the Drug War and the accompanying hysteria.

Somewhere it has to stop. As a nation, we have more people incarcerated than any other country on earth. Most of those minor drug offenders. The only result of the prison time is misery for offender and family and tax payer alike.

The SCOTUS has opened a door that has long needed opening. It took courage to do that.
With the exception of those two tools, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, the 7-2 decision was a good step forward.

Let's hope it doesn't stop there.

Finally, the first sign of genuine "progress" in Iraq, the murderers and mercenaries of Blackwater USA are being evicted. Now if they could just be locked up for the rest of their lives.

The Domestic Terrorist Organization, Blackwater USA, has freely and wantonly murdered innocent men, women and children in Iraq in cold blood and have caused untold damage to the efforts of our well-intentioned troops.
Blackwater fascists have used the Iraqi people as moving target practice. Practice for what? For you and yours.
They will turn their guns on you and your family one day, and as Americans, we have the duty to be ready to strike back when that time comes.

Be armed, be prepared. Your life and that of your family has no meaning to a mercenary. You must view them in the exact same light.

Big Hat-Tip to NPR

Iraq Cancels Blackwater's Operating License

The Iraqi government says it's canceling the operating license of U.S. security firm Blackwater USA after accusations that it was involved in a deadly shootout in Baghdad. The firm provides personal security for many U.S. officials working in the country.

Agence-France Presse reports that the shootout Sunday in a Baghdad neighborhood, which involved a U.S. diplomatic convoy, left at least eight people dead and 13 others wounded. Officials say that most of the dead and wounded were bystanders.

"The interior minister (Jawad al-Bolani) has issued an order to cancel Blackwater's licence and the company is prohibited from operating anywhere in Iraq," interior ministry director of operations Major General Abdel Karim Khalaf said. "We have opened a criminal investigation against the group who committed the crime."

All Blackwater employees have been told to leave Iraq immediately, except for those involved in the shooting, the BBC reports. Blackwater hasn't commented so far.

As Jackie Northam reported recently for Morning Edition, there are thousands of private contractors in Iraq — with little oversight. Critics say the contractors often are not trained properly, the BBC reports.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll most likely take some serious heat for this one, but somebody has to say it so it might as well be us.
That's what we do here after all, say the things everyone wants to say but won't.

The question is.....

Will Democratic Women Destroy the Progressive, Liberal Movement Within the Democratic Party?

(captainkona ducks as keyboards fly past his head)

So, what's it going to be, ladies? Are you thinking with your brains or your uteruses?
Hillary Clinton has only one leg to stand on, her femaleness. She'll get a lot of votes from women, simply because she's a woman unfortunately. Is voting for a fellow fem more important than changing the country, and the world for that matter, for the better?

Hillary Clinton is a Regressive, not a Progressive. The way she has rubber-stamped the misogynistic, violent, criminal Bush/Right-Wing agenda appears to not be enough to convince some women that she is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and all that it stands for.

I'll give you a brief summery and refrain from pounding on the point since I'm basically preaching to the choir.

Hillary Clinton:

Republican Party leader in college. Sure, she tried to turn Liberal after that but she was young and probably just went with the flow. She characterized her own nature as that of "the mind of a conservative and the heart of a Liberal"... and therein lies the problem. You can't have it both ways and that's all she ever tries to do. It's called "two-faced" and "flip-flop" these days. People that fancy themselves all things to all people end up being wrong every time.

Her dishonesty and evasiveness during the Whitewater Scandal is virtually identical to the way Scooter Libby conducted himself during his trial. Never admitting that he had done wrong just like a spoiled child afraid of being spanked and representing himself as some sort of victim.

Today, which is what really matters, she is even worse.
Her associations speak for themselves...

Mark Penn (Hillary's strategist) and Murder Incorporated (Blackwater)
Penn's law firm actually coached the terrorist, Erik Prince, as to what to say during Waxman's investigation into Blackwater and their heinous crimes against humanity.

Rupert Murdoch (by their friends you shall know them).
Murdoch and Clinton are close, very close. Murdoch, the evil behind FOX News and their support for the Neo-Cons, and their blatant lies, and their complicitness in The Atrocity, and their racism and their misogyny...Is someone a person "with the heart of a Liberal" would sooner beat up than associate with. Evidently Hillary follows her "mind" when it comes to getting what she wants and her "heart" when she needs someone to lie to about it.

Run for your life

Hillary and the floundering, recently bailed out by Arabs Citigroup.
Nothing like dirty, environmentally destructive money to push a campaign along. Trouble is, that's only supposed to happen in Republican campaigns.

Recently, Hillary had to cancel a fund raising event in Mississippi. Why? Oh, because the host was indicted for bribery that evening and couldn't make it. Richard “Dickie” Scruggs, a donor to both Dems and Repigs, is going down in Norman Hsu/Jack Abramoff style.
Interesting people Hillary runs with. Scruggs is an inlaw of Trent Lott. A staunchly anti-choice Neo-Con Pig who has tormented this country with his vile, racist, oppressive ways for decades.

Hillary, AIPAC, and US/Israeli aggression in the middle east.
Aside from the fact that members of AIPAC have committed treason against this country, Israel's contagious, racism-based paranoia has fostered much of the problems we (not them) now face in the Middle East. Perhaps Hillary doesn't mind associating with people that call us "friend" one day and spy on us the next, but I do. And so should anyone that cares about this country.
Israel's influence (AIPAC/PNAC) over our government must stop. Israel must be made to pay for their Pearl Harboresque treachery against us, not rewarded for it.
America is what matters to Americans, Israel be damned.

Then, of course, is the close (and I mean close), friendship the Clinton's have with the Bush family.

New blood in the White House is the only answer.

Ladies, you don't have to elect a loser in the primary just because she's a woman. Hillary cannot win in '08.
If you support her in the primary, you'll ruin nearly every forward step this party has taken in the last seven years. And should she actually win, Hillary will surely attempt to push us back to the Right in order to appease her "conservative mind" and the Right-Wing filth that are lining her pockets. Lose/Lose situation for the future of this country.
As Democrats, we are poised to become a genuinely Liberal ruling party. We are poised to put big corporations on their knees where they belong. We are poised to restore our rights, save the lives of our troops, save our environment and perhaps even get a few more top-tier Neo-Cons into prison.
None of that will happen unless we have a Democratic President. One that's not a Republican in Blue Dress.

We've come a long way, baby. Don't throw it all away for a symbolic primary vote for "the woman in the race". There's a whole nation and in fact, a whole world riding on your better judgment.

You know what facts are, ladies. I advise...no, I implore you to view them with clarity.

Love, Kona

For those who don’t know, Robin Prosser was a champion of Medical Marijuana rights and a person who suffered tremendously due to opposition of Medi Pot.
An incredibly talented and compassionate lady and leader, Robin never gave up the fight until she just got tired of suffering. Now, as a martyr, we will fight on in her name.

Remember this name, Medical Marijuana opponents. That’s you, Harold Ford Jr. That’s you Bill Clinton, George Bush, Religiofascist Fundis, DEA Terrorists, ONDCP, Republicans, Blue Dogs and Puritan activists. You are the ones that killed this fine person. Suicide is one thing, driving someone to suicide is murder.

We swear by our very lives that we will see you all fucked one day.

On this you have our word.

Medical marijuana advocate kills herself
By MICHAEL MOORE of the Missoulian

Robin Prosser, a Missoula woman who struggled for a quarter century to live with the pain of an immunosuppressive disorder, tried years ago to kill herself. Last week, she tried again. This time, she succeeded.

Robin Prosser

After her earlier attempt failed, Prosser wound up in even more trouble after investigating police found marijuana in her home. She used the marijuana to help cope with pain.

That marijuana charge was eventually dropped in an agreement with the city of Missoula, and Prosser had reason to rejoice in 2004 when Montanans passed a law allowing medical use of the drug.
She was a high-profile campaigner for the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, and like others, she was dismayed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that drug agents could still arrest sick people using marijuana, even in states that legalized its use.

The ruling came to haunt Prosser in late March, when DEA agents seized less than a half ounce of marijuana sent to her by her registered caregiver in Flathead County.

At the time, the DEA special agent in charge of the Rocky Mountain Field Division said federal agents were “protecting people from their own state laws” by seizing such shipments.

“I feel immensely let down,” Prosser would write a few months later, in a guest opinion for the Billings Gazette published July 28. “I have no safety, no protection, no help just to survive in a little less pain. I can’t even get a job due to my medical marijuana use - can’t pass a drug test.”

Federal prosecutors declined to charge Prosser, but fear spread through the system of marijuana distribution set up in the wake of the medical marijuana act. Friends said Prosser turned to other sources for marijuana, but found problems nearly everywhere she turned.

“Most recently, she had found some people who said they could get her what she needed, but it didn’t go well,” said her friend Jane Byard.

Without the relief that marijuana delivered to her, Robin Prosser killed herself at home last week. She was 50.

Prosser suffered from an autoimmune disease that gave her allergic and dangerous reactions to most pharmaceutical painkillers. So she turned to marijuana. When that was no longer available she had no where else to turn.

“She just said she couldn’t take it all anymore,” Byard said.

In her guest opinion, Prosser wrote that: “I’m 50 years old, low-income and sick. I spend most days in my apartment in bed, with no air conditioning, unable to go outside because I can’t tolerate the sun.”

Beset by financial problems, troubled by depression, unable to find a reliable source of pain relief, she took her own life three months after the piece was published.

“Give me liberty or give me death,” she wrote in July. “Maybe the next campaign ought to be for assisted-suicide laws in our state. If they will not allow me to live in peace, and a little less pain, would they help me to die, humanely?”

Before being disabled by her disease, Prosser was a concert pianist and a systems analyst. After the disease hit her, she became a tireless advocate for legalized use of marijuana in medical situations.

“She had so many difficulties, but she was a wonderful person,” Byard said. “She was kind and funny and just as smart as a whip. She was a very good friend to me, and it’s a very sad story what happened to her.”

Tomorrow, being a day to give thanks for abundance, we would like to recognize two facts...

1) Some 35 million people in this country don't have enough to eat.

2) Dennis Kucinich and John Edwards are the only top-tier presidential candidates making it a primary focus in their campaigns.

All the Democratic candidates have mentioned hunger in America, briefly in the Senate, but Dennis and John are the only ones who are head first into the issue.
It's a whole year until the elections, but the field is becoming more and more clear every day.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama lack the sincerity and passion to change America for the better.

Enjoy.

The magic herb does it again. It's simple. We've said it before. Those that oppose Medical Marijuana are "Pro-Suffering". The proof is undeniable, the necessity unquestionable.

Chemical in Marijuana Fights Breast Cancer

by Alice Turner 20:37, November 20th 2007

A chemical without psychoactive properties found in Cannabis sativa appears to have very good results in fighting the spread of cancer cells. The substance, cannabidiol (CBD), was found by scientists at the California Pacific Medical Centre Research Institute to inhibit a gene called Id-1, which has been linked to the spread of cancer cells and has been found in high levels in a number of types of cancer.

"Right now we have a limited range of options in treating aggressive forms of cancer," researcher Sean D. McAllister, a co-author, said in a statement. "Those treatments, such as chemotherapy, can be effective but they can also be extremely toxic and difficult for patients. This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects."

The researchers also pointed out that smoking marijuana will only lead to very low concentrations of CBD, insufficient for any real health benefit. If proven useful in clinical trials, the chemical would have to be extracted from the plant and concentrated, if it cannot be industrially synthesized.

"[...] what is exciting about this study is that if CBD can inhibit Id-1 in breast cancer cells, then it may also prove effective at stopping the spread of cancer cells in other forms of the disease, such as colon and brain or prostate cancer," said lead author Dr. Pierre-Yves Desprez.

The new research was published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. The research is at a very early stage and further studies involving humans will be necessary to see whether CBD's beneficial effects can be replicated on patients. The current research only evaluated laboratory tests.

Currently, cancer patients usually receive chemotherapy, which has many unpleasant and dangerous side-effects such as nausea and an increased risk of infection, which can take both a physical and emotional toll. Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of developing invasive breast cancer and a 1 in 33 chance of breast cancer causing their death, the American Cancer Society reported.

I've recently been motivated to contemplate how often I see "The South" being bashed and blamed for all the governmental ills we're suffering these days.
There are many grotesquely ignorant people on the net, but those that cherish a "Red State Blue State" mentality, and those that seem to feel that the SE United States with our "approval of slavery" and "rampant racism" are somehow running the country.

Wow. I run into it often. Disgruntled bigots of all races and creeds that shout "redneck", "goat fucker", "slave driver" etc, at anyone indicating that they're Southern. Seems like the new thing to do.
As much as I hate to admit it, I can't blame the Right Wing for this one. No, it's my own fellow Liberals (just a few of them) that routinely hand out this back-assward, uninformed opining about Dixie.
It's a shame. People who are supposed to be entertaining a philosophy that's free of such broad assertions and social stereotypes find themselves in the heart of the hypocrisy zone.

I find it more appalling than usual due to a recent debate I engaged in with some of my fellows elsewhere on the net. BushCo was compared to some sort of rising of the new "Nazi", "racist" South. The bigots also went on to mutter something about being part of the "Union".
But as I checked on a few things, I came to find that there is a serious shortage of "South" in the White House these days...

George Bush - Connecticut
Dick Cheney - Nebraska
Karl KKK Rove - Colorado
Scooter Libby - Connecticut
Michael Chertoff - New Jersey
Michael Mukasey - New York
Paul Wolfowitz - New York
Robert Gates - Kansas
Alberto Gonzales - Texas
Condi Rice - Texas

Texas, being "South" in association only, there's a tremendous lack of Southerners in that particular list of ingrates, miscreants and megalomaniacs.
Actually reads like the new "Union" rising. The Union that committed genocide of the American Indians more like.

Neo-Cons anyone?...

Bill Kristol - New York
Norman podhoretz - New York
Gordon Liddy - New Jersey
John Bolton - Maryland
Richard Perle - New York
Joe Lieberman - Connecticut

With that group of yankees and westerners running the show more Southerners like Jimmy Carter, MLK, George Washington, Steve Cohen, Thomas Jefferson, John Edwards, and Al Gore would sure come in handy right about now.
And of course, if Texas is to be considered part of the "South", it gave us President Johnson and The Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Bottom line? Most of the good done in America's history, with the clear exception of attempting to cling to slavery, was done by Southerners.

Recently, the FBI released Hate Crime statistics for 2006 and I think the good folks out west and up north might be interested in them. Or perhaps not. Hate crimes are up during the Bush era and not in the places most people would think...

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2006/table12.html

Entire South - 1539

Mississippi - 0 Alabama - 1 (Virginia is worst by far at 341 reported hate crimes)

Entire North - 3244

West Coast - 1385
California - 1297 (worst in the nation by far)
South West - 518
Mid West - 1280
Plains States - 177
Alaska - 6
Hawaii - ?

Interesting. The "Union" up north there has the South beat by a mile when it comes to racial and social hate.
"Liberal" California is a disgrace according to these stats.
Peaceful, beautiful Vermont had 21, but that "cesspool of racism", Mississippi, has none? None.

I've lived up north, out west and everywhere in between. I made and have good friends, and your states are great places to visit for the most part. But these statistics reflect exactly what I always experienced. The west, the north...more violent, colder, more unforgiving than the dreaded, evil, racist, "Red" South.

Give it up non-Southerners. You have no clue just how many genuine Liberals there are in the South. We have inter-racial peace and love in "The South". We have understanding, acceptance, and more tolerance than you'll ever know way down yonder in the land of cotton.
So for all the yankee, inner-city and surfer-boy bigots out there in the rat race, take a good long look in the mirror. Yep, that's the face us "rubes" are laughing and shaking our heads at.
We got peace. When are you going to catch up?

For all you do, geography Nazis. This blog's for you.

She flips, she flops. One debate she'll "end the war". Next debate she'll keep us there until the "job" is done. Then she's for IDs for illegal immigrants, then she's against them (all in a time span of about two mins). Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the most plastic, two-faced Democratic candidate we've had since her husband. She is not the right choice of candidate for a party that claims to be all about ethics and truth.

Hillary is a Republican at heart. Any way you slice it, she's one of them. From her Whitewater crime and lies to her Iraq war lies and double talk, her pandering to the extreme Right, and her obvious lack of courage and lack of willingness to bring about the dramatic change this nation needs.

Hillary is the status quo and we don't need any more of that. The DLC is the GOP served with a side of abortion and that's simply not good enough.

Hillary has Foot-in-Mouth Disease

America has had enough of this kind of indecisiveness and double talk over the last eight (or sixteen) years.
And just when you though that Right-Wingers like David Davis and Harold Ford Jr. were bad for dragging Jesus into the political mire...

Hillary Plays the Jesus Card

Hillary Clinton is the poster child for the DLC (Dpublican Losers Club). Do anything and say anything to get elected, then promptly turn your back on those that voted for you. That's what Bill did, that's what Harold Ford did, that's what Hillary will do.
Remember what the late, great Molly Ivans had to say about Hillary before Molly's untimely death?

We need to remove the corporate whores from our government. We need to remove the same old people with the same old names. The status quo must go.

From Hillary's support for the traitor, Joe Lieberman, to her filthy money and her constant double talk on Iraq. She is one of them. That's all she's ever been and you can rest assured that it's all she'll ever be. Some of the best evidence against her yet comes from the always spot-on Greg Palast.......

Hillary’s Musharraf
Published November 12th, 2007 in Articles

Mrs. Clinton’s forgotten fling with the Killer of Karachi.

by Greg Palast

He was the other man in Hillary’s life. But it’s over now. Or is it?

The Other Man: Hillary and Musharraf

You’ve seen all those creepy photos of George Bush rubbing up against Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf, the two of them grinning and giggling like they’re going to the senior prom. So it’s hard to remember that it was Hillary and Bill who brought Pervez to the dance in the first place.

How that happened, I’ll tell you in a moment.

But first, let’s get our facts straight about the man in the moustache. Musharraf, according to George Bush, The New York Times, NPR and the rest of press puppies is, “our ally in the War on Terror.” That’s like calling Carmine Gambino, “Our ally in the War on Crime.”

Musharraf’s the guy who helped the Taliban take power in Afghanistan in 1996. And, through his ISI, Pakistan’s own KGB, he is still giving the Taliban secret protection. And this is the same Musharraf who let Khalid Sheik Muhammed, Osama’s operations chief for the SeptemberBush and Musharraf 11 attack, hang out in Quetta, Pakistan, in the open, until Khalid embarrassed his host by giving a boastful interview to Al Jazeera television from his Pakistan hang-out.

And this is the same Musharraf who permitted his nation’s own Dr. Strangelove, A.Q. Khan, to sell nuclear do-it-yourself bomb kits to Libya and North Korea. When the story of the flea-market in fissionable materials was exposed, Musharraf (and Bush) both proclaimed their shock - shock! - over the bomb sales. Musharraf didn’t know? Sure. Those tons of lethal hardware must have been shipped by flying pig.

But, unlike Saddam and Osama, creations of Ronald Reagan’s and George Bush Sr.’s Frankenstein factories, Musharraf was a Clinton special.

And it all began with an unpaid electricity bill. In 1998, Pakistan wouldn’t pay up millions, and they owed billions, to British and American electricity companies. And for good reason: the contracts called for paying insanely high prices. It smelled of payola - and ultimately, the government of Pakistan filed charges against power combine executives and canceled the contracts. That’s the rule under international law: companies can’t collect on contracts they obtained by pay-offs.

But these weren’t just any companies. One was a Tony Blair favorite, Britain’s National Power. The other was Entergy International, a sudden big-time player in the international power market based out of, oddly, Little Rock, Arkansas. Despite the Clinton Administration’s claim to fight foreign corruption, this was an exception. Clinton and Blair voted to cut off Pakistan’s funding from the IMF. Pay-up the power pirates, they told Pakistan, or starve.

Why was President Clinton so determined to crush Pakistan because of an unpaid bill to some Little Rock company. This was not just any company. But that wasn’t much. More important, Entergy and its partners, the Riady Family of Indonesia had just paid about half a million dollars to Hillary’s old Rose Law Firm partner Webster Hubbell. Odd that, hiring Hubbell. Why would Entergy pay big bucks to Hubbell as a “consultant” when he was on his way to jail for a felony. Hubbell was doing time because he refused to testify against Ms. Rodham.

Did President Clinton know about the payment to Hubbell? Clinton denied it to the press, but under oath, to the FBI, Bill said he, “wouldn’t be surprised” if the Riadys told him about the payoff to Hubbell in one of Bill’s several private meetings with them in the Oval Office.

Was there a connection between Entergy’s kindness to Hillary and her law partner and the power company’s extraordinary sway with the Administration? From inside information on energy policies to favor requested of Tony Blair’s office by Hillary’s office, Entergy could do no wrong. Certainly, their consortium’s executives wouldn’t have to stand trial in Pakistan.

And Entergy got its money. On December 22, 1998, Pakistan’s military, at the direction of General Pervez Musharraf, sent thirty thousand troops into the nation’s power stations. At the time, Entergy’s partners told me, “A lot changed since the army moved in. Now we have a situation where we can be paid. They’ve found a way to collect from the man in the street.” Yes: at gunpoint, according to Abdul Latif Nizamani, a labor union leader who spoke with me after Musharraf’s gang had arrested him.

With Pakistan’s army in control of the nation’s infrastructure, and acting as guarantor of payment to the US and UK power giants, General Musharraf’s final takeover of the entire government nine months later - a “surprise” coup to the Western press - was, a forgone conclusion. And the Clintons, complicit, like Bush today, could say little.

Just months before he left office President Clinton paid a sudden visit to Musharraf. Congressional Democrats were stunned. Musharraf had quickly shown himself to be a Taliban-loving, unbalanced dictator who violated US treaty terms by exploding a nuke and threatening to incinerate our ally India. Notably, the Ambassador with Clinton made payments to the electric companies a top item on his agenda.

Favors done; favors repaid. Nothing new under the sun, but it’s a dangerous game, Senator Clinton.

All right, maybe you can say that President Clinton’s blessing of the radioactive dictator can’t be blamed on Hillary despite the smelly money chain going from Arkansas to Karachi. But, be honest, the lady sure as heck ain’t running on her record as a Senator; her whole pitch is, “Re-elect Clinton.”
And I’d rather tell you this story before you hear it from President Giuliani.

Nevertheless, let’s not lose sight of the current danger. While the Clinton’s may have handed us the Lunatic of Lahore, it’s George Bush who leaves mints on his pillow. I have no information that Clinton knew of the sales to North Korea. The Bush Administration did and, we discovered at BBC, blocked the CIA investigation that could have exposed it in 2001. And that, Mr. Bush, is a very, very dangerous game. The problem of creating Frankensteins, whether an Osama or a Saddam or a Musharraf, is that these creatures are often known to rise and turn on their creators.

But I’m sure we’ll correct the error. Four years ago, as Bush was proclaiming victory over the Butcher of Baghdad, I wrote, “Given our experiences with Saddam and Osama, our monsters tend to get out of control after about 11 years. Therefore, we can expect, in the year 2013, that President Jeb Bush will have to order the 82d Airborne into Pakistan to remove Musharraf, the Killer of Karachi.”

Unfortunately, we may not have that long.

George W. Clinton? Hillary Rodham Bush?
It's all the same fucking thing with those two, disgraceful families.
Time for new blood, America. Do you have the "spine" to draw it?

We have always said that only three kinds of people support the Bush Administration. The excessively greedy, the excessively religious, and the excessively stupid.
Let's examine these three distinct groups in an effort to understand and perhaps, somehow find sympathy for their intellectual and spiritual plight...

It never ceases to amaze me how a person can put money above human life in value. I find myself continually staring at my computer screen in total bewilderment as I read story after story of how the money hungry among us seemingly have no perception of the sacredness of life.

The Excessively Greedy:
What is it that has caused certain people to value a dollar more than, for instance, the life of a child? Is it some sort of mental illness? Is there a chemical imbalance that somehow renders them unfeeling and unable to see the humanity that is affected by their insatiable want?
Recently, David H. Brooks, one of the worst War Pigs in history, was finally arrested for his crimes. Not only did this particular Pig sell faulty body armor to our troops in Iraq, he went on vacation immediately after hearing about it. Brooks was partying while our troops were getting killed wearing his faulty, cheap vests.

Then there's some of the worst war profiteers of all, Blackwater USA, or "Murder Inc" as they are now widely known. Erik Prince and his Satanic horde Blackwater have not only capitalized on the carnage in Iraq, they have attempted to establish job security by creating carnage of their own. Carnage in the form of women and children murdered in cold blood.

Of course, no War for Oil would be complete without the American/Saudi Oil Bourse. Bechtel, Mobile Oil, The diabolical Exxon, ARAMCO...
All actively lobbying the US government to maintain a state of war and world tension so they can continue to gouge us at the pumps. Meanwhile, innocent people die as a result of their efforts.

But alas, the War Pigs are not the only greedy bastards that turn their backs on their fellow man for profit. This category also includes those that demand the sacrifice of lives to "better the world" and "protect America" yet refuse to sacrifice their tax money to do the same.
These are the people that prefer to let America's children suffer and die from lack of health care coverage. They're the one's that always ask "how we gonna pay for it?" when the topic of health care comes up.
George Bush just asked for 1.4 Billion from congress to carry on the failed and equally Satanic Drug War...in Mexico.
1.4 Billion for Mexico.....
You tell me where the fucking money for health care goes. The wasting of national funds is what's commonly known as shrinking government "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub".
Trouble is, when government "shrinks" so does the Nation. And that's exactly what's being done to us, drowned in the bathtub of the Right Wing's greed and ideological zealotry.

It's a sad testimony to American society that these people are so numerous. Bush, Cheney, Oil Companies, Tax Scrooges...A legacy of shame.

The Excessively Religious:
Probably should read "Excessively Pious". Jesus of Nazareth taught us about them. They're the ones that betrayed Him to death by crucifixion. They have no concept of humanity or the value of life. A culture of death that hides it's shameful face behind a fabricated, insincere indignation toward the abortion process and queers. Their true colors clearly show when their "Love the Fetus, Hate the Child" mentality is readily exposed.
These sudo-religious pretenders often oppose systems like Plan-B , which is the cure for abortion, based on some whimsical fabrication that "Life" begins at sex. Actually, these people, much like rapists(which many of them are) are control freaks. It's not about the religion, it's about the personal power trip. They don't adhere to their own twisted religious doctrine, but they do expect everyone else to. And as we often see with money-hungry idolaters like "Christianity's" Pat Robertson, "Islam's" Mullahs, and the greed-laden Extremists among the Jews, hypocrisy is the method and wealth for the evil and death for the good is the result.

These people are dangerous to all things that are good and decent. They should all be wiped from the face of the earth so that genuine believers that embrace God's love for His people and His demand for peace can thrive.
As long as religion is represented by fools only fools will be attracted to religion.

"Stupid" is such a trivial word. We use it to label most anything that annoys us. From a bad TV show to our younger sibling, "Stupid" is as stupid does.
But what of those that are truly deserving of the label? Those who are synonymous with the very root of the expression. They are...

The Excessively Stupid:
These are the most dangerous of them all. These are the people who empower, either directly or through their apathy, those mentioned above. They can kill thousands upon thousands by merely pulling a lever or pushing a button. Simply because they have no worldly concerns other than the Ten Commandments and a tax cut.
First and foremost we have the Conservative/Republican voter. These people have just as much blood on their hands as the War Pigs and the Religofascists. They're just not smart enough to see or accept it.

Too much truth for Condi

These folks have no ability of self-evaluation or self- critique. Therefore, they have no ability to self-assess and subsequently improve.
They are locked in their own ignorance with little hope of redemption. You see, this isn't an academic sort of "stupid". It has nothing to do with retaining information. Rather, it pertains to the ability to view the surrounding world and liken it, unto one's self, and appreciate it for the gift from God it really is. It's about lack of vision for the future. Living as though one was going to be at some point "raptured" and therefore, no need to plan ahead or strive to leave our future generations a clean, well cared for world in which they can exist and thrive.

Nothing will ever amaze, and sadden, me more than knowing that I share the same planet, not to mention the same country or neighborhood, with people so mal-adjusted to life on earth that they see and seek only that which pleases them and are otherwise oblivious to the wants, and especially, needs of others.
These people are truly islands unto themselves. Barren, deserted ones.

We live in dark days, America. There is light out there, but if we're going to have any we're going to have to go out and take it from those that seek to hide it for fear of being exposed in it.
We are encompassed by dark hearts. Those that would gladly see anyone who's not them die today if it meant another dollar, another tax cut, another contract, another copy of the Ten Commandments on a wall.

It will get much worse before it gets better. Be prepared.

This wretch has got to go. Davis is simply a disgrace.
Davis stands firmly against children and their health, and now it's time for TN-1 to stand against Davis....

David Davis is a Pig. Actually, that's an insult to pigs everywhere due to the fact that pigs DON'T HATE KIDS.

His head reminds me of some kind of vegetable. Just not sure which one.

Rarely, with the exception of George Bush, Pol Pot, Edie Amin, and a few other despots, do I find myself despising a political figure quite as much as I do Davis.
Almost all politicians are deserving of a certain amount of derision, but Davis is a different animal.

Put into office by the votes of the local Taliban and Republicans too stupid to care who they vote for just as long as there's an "R" by his name, Davis has continued a Religious Fanatic agenda that involves eliminating the Constitution, forcing the religious views of a tiny sect of the Christian religion (that resembles a cult more than a faith) upon the general public, promoting lawlessness in government and a crusading war against an innocent people.
He supports trashing our environment and the establishment of the Appalachian region as a resource colony to be raped and plundered by large corporations.

Ever notice how Davis' bio states when he was born but fails to state where? He attempts to assert that he's from Tennessee, he's not. He's from Anderson, Indiana. A carpetbagger that came here with the worst of intentions. To exploit the people and take advantage of the tremendous amount of gullible and half-witted voters there are in this area.

David Davis' kids have the best health care money can buy. He doesn't give a rat's backside about ours. He's a carpetbagger. He doesn't care what happens to our kids, our land, our water, or anything else here. He's here for the money and the political power and nothing else. When his options are exhausted he'll pack up and move on like the locust that he is.

Nothing is more important than the healthy future of our children. Davis has stated that he will uphold the threatened Bush veto of children's health. Andrea Hopkins at the Bristol Herald-Courier (a local newspaper that endorsed Davis in '06), had this to say....

Rep. David Davis says he won’t vote to override the president’s veto of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. No surprise. Davis votes pretty much in lock-step with the administration and the party bosses.

But is he serving the interests of his district?

Tennessee officials report that 56,000 children of uninsured working families will be denied health coverage because of Davis’ vote. Some of those children are bound to live in East Tennessee. Davis, who made his personal fortune in health care, would deny that care to children who by accident of birth don’t live in a family with his resources. Pretty cynical.

Davis trots out several strawman arguments to oppose the plan, including its supposed extension of benefits to illegal immigrants (actually, the amended version of the bill doesn’t even cover the children of legal immigrants). For a complete debunking of the SCHIP myths, check out this informative site by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

There is no good reason to oppose this bill. Davis should be ashamed.
-Andrea Hopkins

Health care for our kids, clean water, an ecologically sound environment for them to grow up in, fact based curriculum in their schools, and the truth about what Jesus taught us. These are the things that are good for raising decent, all-American kids. David Davis voted against them all at one time or another.

This man is a joke, his party is a joke, and his supporters even worse.

Let's face it, any Christian that didn't become deeply insulted and even enraged at the way Davis made a campaign slogan out of Jesus Christ probably doesn't have the dignity, the brains or the heart to care anyway.

My God, this community needs an enema.

David Davis must be voted out of office. His short legacy is already one of shame and un-American activity. Love the Fetus, Hate the Child. Love the Second Amendment, Hate the First and Fourth. Love the Dollar, Exploit the Lord. That's the Right-Wing Republican way. Davis is working hard to uphold it. He must go.

Heh...I'll bet Bush and Cheney are pissing down both legs right now.

When was the last time a Republican won this prize? Oh, never mind. The important thing is that the world has clearly heard, and embraced, the global environmental movement that Al Gore has lifted to new heights.
Though environmental activism is nothing new, Big Al has been the catapult the movement has always needed. That big, respected name that cannot be ignored.

Has been President since 2000

Mr. Gore has brought the global destruction reality into the 21st century with new technology, scientific fact, and the desire to heal a fractured world. History and the generations of the future will look back on Al Gore as a savior of sorts. A mere man with the heart of a lion and a love for the earth and it's inhabitants that his detractors can only pretend to have.

And appropriately, Mr. Gore accepts this tremendous honor in the most humble fashion possible...

"I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This award is even more meaningful because I have the honor of sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--the world's pre-eminent scientific body devoted to improving our understanding of the climate crisis--a group whose members have worked tirelessly and selflessly for many years. We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.

My wife, Tipper, and I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

Thank you,

Al Gore"

We thank you, owe you, and most of all love you, Al.

Now get your Nobel ass into the race. There's no time to lose.

Well, well, well. Presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards just pulled back the veil on Hillary Clinton, and what an uglier face we now see...

His name is Mark Penn, and he is Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist. He has aided and assisted the treasonous, murderous Blackwater USA. It appears that Mr. Penn's company, Burson-Marsteller, helped the notorious mercenary, Erik Prince, prepare for his testimony that was given before congress.

We knew Hillary was just another soulless corporate whore, but even we didn't know it was this bad.

Mark Penn is as dirty a corporation-in-human-form as there ever has been. Sen. John Edwards is quoted as saying...

“Bush has been a perfect example of cronyism, because Blackwater has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and to President Bush. I also saw this morning that Sen. Clinton’s primary adviser, Mark Penn, who is like her Karl Rove — his firm is representing Blackwater,”

"Clinton's Karl Rove" seems to be a rather accurate descriptive. Penn's firm is one of the most prolific opponents of organized labor. Now we find he also provides counsel to filthy murdering vermin like Erik Prince and Blackwater Security.

The Female George Bush comes shining through the plastic face of Hillary Clinton with more and more brightness every day. She is dirty, her people are dirty, her money is dirty. Hillary Clinton is the bane of the Democratic Party along with all of her DLC cohorts.
she even takes money from Kirkland & Ellis, The firm owned by Ken Starr, the guy who prosecuted Bill and Hillary Clinton in the WhiteWater scandal, presided over Bill's impeachment trial, and represented the school system in the "Bong Hits for Jesus" infringement on the first amendment.

LOL! This is exactly the kind of ethically malfunctioning horse shit that we've seen from BushCo for the past seven years now. John Edwards is spot-on as he continues...

“I think it is important for Iowa caucus-goers to understand the choices they have in this election. And it is the reason I continue to say we don’t want to replace a group of corporate Republicans with a group of corporate Democrats.”

Now, there's more to our point here than just HillaryCo's unbridaled hypocrisy. Why would Mark Penn and Burson-Marsteller even consider returning Erik Prince's phone call? Much less actually allow themselves to be retained by someone that is a known mercenary, murderer and threat to freedom? Money over people of course, but is that all?
It's clear to us that though the Clinton camp talks about ending the war (very timidly mind you), they clearly support those that have damaged the efforts of our well-intentioned troops by fertilizing the hatred of the average Iraqi toward us. They support those that have money to be made by terrorizing the Iraqi populace.
They support those mercenaries that have turned their guns on Americans in New Orleans and will do so again if given the opportunity.

Get it through your heads, Democrats. Hillary Clinton is Pro-War (Iraq war, Iran war, Drug war...you name it). She is Pro-Corporate, Israel First, and will not stop the war in Iraq or the unclean agenda that promotes it.

She is the Anti-Democrat.

We've told you all before. Hillary Clinton, like her husband, care only for themselves and their close friends the Bush's. They will tell any lie, act any part, even grovel on their knees to get elected and again be in position to abuse their authority for personal gain.

We don't need any more people like that in our government. Enough is enough.

The Clinton campaign is in full panic mode over this new, beleaguering revelation about Mark Penn and Blackwater Murder Company LLC. And well they should be.
Hillary Clinton may think she's well hidden behind her little Wizard of Oz curtain, but guys like Edwards, Kucinich, Gravel and the genuine Liberals in the Blogosphere can see right through the prefabricated persona to her listless, long-lost corporate soul.

Voting for Hillary in the primary, fellow Democrat? How low can you go before you lose sleep?

Just a few points...

My fellow Liberal and good citizen of Bristol, Chris, and I were debating the issue with our friend Lewis Lofton and a few Right-Wing pigs that slithered in to Andrea Hopkins' blog at Bristol Views.

Michael Moore's "Sicko"

Of course it can become sickening to hear the cold, unfeeling, sanctimonious ravings of the Right-Wing. Especially when it's our children that they're threatening with their views.

Here's some points that we made in favor of Universal Health Care. The points against can be read at Andrea's blog. They are the usual "me first" Satanic Republican talking points. Those that care about people, especially children, may become ill so go read at your own risk.

1) I’m a Christian. Either we’re our brother’s keeper or we’re not.
WWJH (Who Would Jesus Heal)?

My guess would be everyone that needs it. Children first. A God given “right” is what it is. And unfortunately, many that claim to be Christians are failing the Lazarus Test by opposing universal health care. Woe to thee, worshipers of Mammon.

2) Many of those who are fearful that others won’t get good enough health care because the government is involved miss the point. Though the care would be as good as any, even if it wasn’t it’s better than no care at all.

The only thing universal health care will do is allow all citizens access to the same medications and medical equipment that the wealthy get access to. Private practitioners will still be there for those with family doctors and insurance will still be there for those that can afford it.
Don’t worry! No rich people will die that aren’t dead already.

3) One word, oversight.
The corporate medical industry cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Death and permanent injury due to hospital acquired infections is at record levels as we speak due to corporate medical entities such as Wellmont and the fact that they will always put money before people.
Bristol Regional is a filthy, wretched piece of crap and in an instance of serious injury to myself or a family member, we will risk the extra time to go to another hospital further away.

If I have to have surgery, I don’t wish to be amputated later due to incompetent doctors and Staph infections.
Corporations cannot be trusted. With corporate medical we get Dr’s like Bill Frist that make diagnosis from video tapes for political gain.
Money first, people last: The Republican credo.

4) For those that complain about “their tax money”, you’d be lightening society’s burden if you would kindly drop dead. It’s not your’s it’s ours, and I want mine spent on helping my fellow man.
Your greed and selfishness will eat your soul and spit it out for all to see.
You are the worst among mankind in the tradition of the Taliban.
This country neither needs you nor wants you. Go away.

5) By making it possible for all Americans to receive health care regardless of economic class, we enable children to get the proper screenings needed for preventive medicine which renders them less likely to need major care in the future.
That will unburden the hopelessly greedy and selfish that somehow think that the tax money we pay is theirs and theirs alone. LOL

What it boils down to is this, either we become a nation of healthier people due to preventative medicine for all from birth, or we remain a nation of people that find out later that we have ailments that could have been prevented had we been able to afford a trip to the Dr and some tests. Insurance is not affordable to the average American and we would be scum to turn our backs on those that can’t afford it.
Just because there is a certain amount of abuse is no excuse to deprive genuinely needy people of medical care.
Unless you have no soul, that is.

My fellow, Chris, also said something simple yet so profound. Especially if you're a Tennessean...

Chris stated:
"Anyone with the cognitive ability of a dust mite would understand that our government has a responsibility to it’s people."

Well said, Chris.

What gets me the most about the "small gov't Republicans" (no gov't has ever intruded on the everyday lives of average Americans like the Bush Regime has) in this area in particular, is that they seem to forget that it was Roosevelt [D], in 1933, that saved the Tennessee Valley from certain demise during the depression years.
Though our carpetbaggers may not care, people that are rooted here in Bristol and the surrounding areas should remember that were it not for a little "big government" we would most likely be little more than a swamp right now.

Our gov't does have a responsibility, and as TVA has proven, when the gov't exercises that responsibility competently and in good faith, good things can happen. I don't think that anyone that is actually from this area can deny that and maintain their self respect at the same time.

More points:

Then I noticed that the old "how will we pay for it" nonsense was rehashed. Allow me to once again put this defeatist perspective to rest.

1) Legalize Marijuana and other drugs now listed as "illegal" and tax the hell out of it. With the revenue, and the lack of spending 15B a year to fund the DEA, health care for all Americans could be easily achieved.

2) Our gov't just gave the filthy, treasonous Blackwater Security USA another 92 million to help them continue to murder women and children in Iraq.
How many lives could that money have saved? I guess we'll never know. We do know how many innocent lives the money is taking, that's for sure.

3) Of course, with the money that is wasted on the criminal war in Iraq in one week we could restore TennCare to every single citizen in the state of TN.

The key is to stop wasting money that we already have. If that stops, no new taxes will be needed for health care. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of throwing money away on failures like the Iraq War and the Drug War. Though when it comes to this kind of sheer mathematical ignorance, Conservanoid Republicans are the all time champs.

"if you want health care, PAY FOR IT"! (one clown stated)
Spoken like someone who's surely living off of someone else's dime.
The lack of compassion for America's children among those that mistakenly call themselves "conservatives" is truly the scourge of this nation.

Republicans....Jesus, deliver us from these people.

Randi Rhodes, the Goddess of Air America had an interesting show. A US Soldier called in directly from Iraq, probably at great personal risk, to talk to Randi and tell it like it really is in Iraq. Let's hope he's not the next Pat Tillman.

If you care about our guys and gals that are being so viciously abused by the Bush Regime, you must listen....

The MP3 Pod Cast of the show is available at The White Rose Society. Download it and play it. The show is 177.36 mins long, forward to 163 mins for the "Carl" segment.

TRANSCRIPT: A gracious gift from "ampersandy" at RRMB.

Transcript of Randi Rhodes’ conversation on Air America on 9/25/07 with Carl, deployed in Iraq.

R: I think I’ve got one of the guys on the phone. Should I use his name? Let me talk to him, all right? All right. Carl in Iraq?

C: Hello. Is this Randi?

R: Yeah.

C: Hi, Randi. This is Carl. I’m calling from radio…on the telephone. I’m one of the boots on the ground here in Iraq.

R: Yeah. Okay. It’s hard to hear you. But what can I do?

C: We wanted to let you know…First of all, I should let you know that when I’m talking I can’t hear you. So I’ll stop from time to time to see if you’re… if you want to be done with me. But we wanted to let you know that most of the military people here know that it’s the Republicans, that Congress and the administration who really… aren’t the ones… that have not been supporting the troops here on the ground.

R: That is good to know.

C: So if they’d been in fact supporting us all along we’d have all the equipment that we’d need here. We’d have all the armored vehicles, and the IED clearing tools, we’d have even little things like helmet liners to prevent traumatic brain injury that’s so common that you hear about over there. We’d also have better pay, and shorter plans and better benefits.

R: I’m sorry. You have to repeat what you just said.

C: I’m sorry. I’ll try it better here. If they were actually supporting us and had been supporting us for the past four years we would have all the equipment that we would need here. Everything from armored… appropriately armored vehicles, to adequate IED clearing tools. Little things like helmet liners we don’t even have enough of, to prevent the traumatic brain injury that you guys are seeing back in the States.

R: Yeah. You know, we understand that. We just don’t understand why you’re not getting the support you need. Do you have any feeling about why this planned chaos is occurring?

C: That’s a really tough question. And no, most people here don’t. There’s lots of speculation that people just don’t care. And “people” meaning the people in Congress. Because they’d be the ones that would have to push the military up through the line to get these things to us.

R: Carl, would you rather be brought home through a fully-funded withdrawal, or would you rather get the support you need from a Democratic Congress and stay there and win something. I mean, I don’t even know what you think, or what you’re told the mission is at this point. Can you tell us?

C: Randi, no one here knows that there’s an end to this. There’s an end to our deployment when we get to come home, and that’s what we see as the end.

R: Well, then that’s then that’s what we’ll work for. We’ll work to bring you home and we’ll get the end that you desire. Because there are Americans who believe that you want to stay there for some other reason than supporting your buddy. And I, as an ex-military person, kinda think that the only reason why I would want to stay there without the equipment, without a plan for… without a clear plan, you know, like what hill do I take win this thing, the only reason I would be there or want to be there is for my buddies. Is that pretty much on the mark for you?

C: That’s exactly on the mark here. And I just wanted to also make sure, or my buddies here also want to make sure that you know that we think that the Republicans… I’m sorry we think that the Democrats need to start publicizing this lack of support, and to start capitalizing on this four-year lack of Republican support for the people here on the ground in Iraq.

R: Well, I’m going to take this phone call and hopefully it won’t cause you any bad…blowback or anything like that. And I’ll make sure that it goes to the chairmen of every single solitary committee, especially the Armed Services Committee and Foreign Relations.

C: Thank you, Randi. And we also hope that people realize that George Bush and Dick Cheney are both criminals and that everyone here knows this, and that they’ll go down in history as the worst profiteers that ever were in the history of the United States. And that somehow after they’re out of office that they’re held liable for what they’ve done and they can keep the war profits that they’ve made, to keep them from getting at that cash because it’s obviously huge sums of money.

R: Yeah, I know Carl. Listen. I know how you’re listening. I won’t give away our secret. Thank you so much for doing this. I know it’s a one-way radio. I know how these things work. But I heard you loud and clear. And soon the Democrats in Congress will hear you loud and clear. So thank you for taking the time.

C: Thanks, Randi. And we listen to you every night here.

R: I know. I know, and I appreciate it so much. And just thank you for calling me and telling me. And tell the guys if there’s anything you need or want… I’ll put you on hold. You tell Miss Hipple what I can send you. I doubt there’s anything you would want that I have, but if there is we’ll get it to you, okay?

C: We’ll do that. I’ll poll people here while we’re waiting, thank you.

R: You’re welcome. Hold on.

R: There you go. That’s… I told you, we have our ways. And I will not tell you what that is, but we have our ways. We are broadcasting there.

And for those of you bastards who said, “You’re like Tokyo Rhodes”…No. I’m telling you what these troops,… I’m telling you what our kids,… I’m telling you what these middle-aged men,… I’m telling you what they tell me. They know what’s up. They’re not stupid. They know no one here’s making a sacrifice. They also know what happened under six years of Republicans. They know what happened to their military. They know how long they’ve been redeployed ... And they know why the group is so small. So you won’t feel the war. You won’t experience it.

Here's a thread at RRMB that explains more.

Again, Carl is a soldier in Iraq that has taken a great risk to contact Randi and speak on open air. Listen carefully, the communication is low frequency.

Note where Carl refers to Bush and Cheney as "criminals".
He goes on to speak of serious equipment shortages and the injustice of the war in Iraq.

God bless you, Carl. And all those with you.
We're doing all we can to pressure these fools into bringing you home.

Congratulations are in order for the great freedom organization, MoveOn.org.

They fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Well done!

LOL!
Now that all the bitching and whining is done there are a few points to make.

Let's begin with the measure put forth by Sen. John Cornyn (Pig) TX.

The measure was intended to denounce MoveOn for telling the truth about Gen. David (Betrayus) Petraeus. Petraeus is a political lap dog, nothing more. He may have been a good soldier once, but people have to get over this "resting on military laurels" thing. The Swift Boat Cowards for Lies were soldiers once, they're just traitors now.
Besides, General Betrayus had, in fact, that name bestowed upon him by active duty soldiers that served with him. Not MoveOn, Democrats, or the Left.

Betrayus the Kiss Ass

So what was accomplished by the Right with this "measure' about MoveOn? Well...
The bitter lesson to be learned here is that the Right should refrain from provoking us (the political left) further. We've already dismantled the most powerful administration in American history like it was made of Leggos. And we did it by waging the most effective, relentless Information War in world history.

1) MoveOn reaped a harvest of funds as a result of the Right's whining. Absolute windfall. It's a money game and the Right just made their worst enemy more powerful. Kinda like they did with Iran, no?

2) We were pissed about how the "Bush 22" voted for the Cornyn measure, but after hearing Dumbya say how disappointed he was that all Democrats didn't support the measure, it occurred to me that the fact that so many Dems, including presidential candidates, did not support it is a hands down victory for MoveOn.
The Right's efforts had no negative effect on MoveOn simply because they thought they would get 100% condemnation of the Ad. They didn't even get close.
22 Dems (all DLC/Blue Dog cowards) voted for the pointless measure. Interesting to see that with a war to stop, an economy that's falling apart, and millions without health care, that the Republicans and Blue Dogs can whisk through a totally meaningless effort in record time. Sad.

But, most Dems voted against the Cornyn measure and we're pleased to see that there are more Dems with spine than without.

Look at these names, these are not a bunch of No-Name Senators.....

Voted Against Foolish Measure:
Akaka (D-HI)
Bingaman (D-NM),
Boxer (D-CA),
Brown (D-OH),
Byrd (D-WV),
Clinton (D-NY),
Dodd (D-CT),
Durbin (D-IL),
Feingold (D-WI),
Harkin (D-IA),
Inouye (D-HI),
Kennedy (D-MA),
Kerry (D-MA),
Lautenberg (D-NJ),
Levin (D-MI),
Menendez (D-NJ),
Murray (D-WA),
Reed (D-RI),
Reid (D-NV),
Rockefeller (D-WV),
Sanders (I-VT),
Schumer (D-NY),
Stabenow (D-MI),
Whitehouse (D-RI),
Wyden (D-OR)

The "bitter lesson" belongs to Cornyn, the Bush Regime, the GOP and the DLC.

MoveOn is becoming a major league player. The voice of us.
And every time they try to smear us we will bounce back even stronger, and wealthier, than before. Never underestimate just how many people in this country despise the Right and everything they stand for.
The only way to beat the Right is to have enough money to match their propaganda with truth in the public eye. MoveOn has plenty now thanx to the Senate Clown Caucus.

We at TN420 are proud to say that we have given to MoveOn in the past, and now, in light of the Cornyn measure, we will give more and more and more. We invite all those that are concerned about America's future to do likewise.
DONATE TO MoveOn.org

MoveOn is fighting hard for truth and freedom, let them know you appreciate those that speak truth to power...then ram it down their throats.

So thank you, John Cornyn, President Moron, Senate Republicans and Blue Dogshit losers. MoveOn and the Left are richer and more powerful as a direct result of your efforts against us. We couldn't have asked for better.

Idiots.

It's not often that we get a first hand look at the ugly face of the scam that is the American corporate health care system. Always links to other sites on the net and such.
Today we have a little personal experience to relate about a company called Resp-I-Care and how they take full advantage of elderly people, even to the point of pure rip off....

Resp-I-Care is a medical supply company in NE Tennessee with close ties to Congressman David (Jesus Pimp) Davis (TN-1). Owned by Richard W. Clark of Jonesborough (a contributor to the Davis campaign in '06), Resp-I-Care provides all sorts of medical equipment at considerable expense to Medicare, and patient too it seems.

My Great Aunt lives in Church Hill. I was there visiting this afternoon when I noticed she had a new chair in the house. One of those electric lounge chairs that's designed to help folks with leg problems stand up easier.
I could tell there was something bothering my Aunt, at 87 years of age you don't hide your anger so well.

As I inquired of her, I began to see the problem. First, I noticed the "Resp-I-Care" letter head which I related to David Davis due to research on his background. A big, bright red flag, of course, went up.
So I asked to see the paperwork.
Meanwhile, my Aunt explained how she ordered the version of the Medi-Lift chair that has a backup battery so's not to get stuck in it if the power goes out.
Problem is, they brought the chair that did not have the battery. That was a week ago and my Aunt has yet to be able to contact anyone about the problem. They just don't call back.

At that point the scam came shining through like the first rays of the new rising sun.

1) Medicare only pays 80% for the "electric motor" that operates the chair. Not the chair it's attached to. As a result, my Aunt had to pay for the chair herself, in full, before delivery. She was not told at first that Medicare wouldn't cover 210.00 for a cheap chair.

2) My Aunt is 87. She cannot walk, much less drive or visit the Resp-I-Care outlet to be measured for the chair. Resp-I-Care charged her 35.00 to measure her at home, though she cannot go out. One would think an invalid (God, I hate that word) would be exempt from such a charge. Not at Raspy Care. Too handicapped to leave the house? You're payin'. If you can walk and go down there, it's free. WTF?

3) Now get this, these clowns charged her 175.00 to deliver the featherweight chair, from only about three miles away. That's highway robbery any way you fucking slice it.

Now obviously, Resp-I-Care brought the wrong, cheaper chair hoping an old woman living by herself wouldn't notice, or wouldn't want to make a fuss, or have no one to defend her. Now, after overcharging Medicare and my Aunt for the chair, they don't return phone calls.

No wonder I'm not rich, I'm not in the Fuck Over the Elderly racket.

So by the time Raspy Care was through, my Aunt paid 210.00 for the wrong chair, 175.00 for delivery, 35.00 for not being able to walk, and 20% or 200.00 apx. of the Medicare on the electric motor for a grand total of 620.00, she's on social security.
Now, my roommate and his partner own an appliance store. They will deliver and install a new Refrigerator, haul your old one off, and perform a service check thirty days later all for forty bucks.

This is why we need national health care. Not-for-profit national health care. With the proper gov't oversight these type of companies that exist solely for the purpose of milking MediCare, TennCare, and patients at their mercy, out of exuberant amounts of money can be controled or shut down entirely.

If you deal with Resp-I-Care, or know someone that does, watch them. Better yet, avoid them altogether for the sake of general principals. They may be pulling the ol' Bait and Switch on one of your loved ones too.
Now we know where the "I" in Resp-I-Care comes in.

So, Raspy Care. For all you do, this blog's for you.

"Troop withdrawals depend on Iraq success"- Bush

That's what he said. In other words, no one's coming home....

There has never been a bigger strategic failure in the history of American military endeavor. But we knew it would be from the beginning, didn't we?
How did we know? We watched Bush fail as the Governor of Texas, why would we have imagined that he could handle being president of the untied states if he couldn't even handle Texas?

After the eighth address since the invasion of Iraq, neither George Bush, or the organ grinders that make him hold the tin cup, have come up with anything new. It's still the same old lies, still the same old excuses.
The only difference this time is that Bush has appointed General David Petraeus (be'tray'us) as "Decider".

President Buckethead

It's a total failure. Packing troops into Anbar and Baghdad is fine for Anbar and Baghdad, but the rest of Iraq is in total chaos. So we'll have to leave Anbar and Baghdad and attempt to send troops to the Southern province to restore order there. Then, Anbar and Baghdad will go to hell in a bucket again.
Bush and his cronies continue to ignore one rather important fact, we don't have enough troops to cover that country and the Iraqi police and much of their military is so heavily infiltrated by extremists that they will never be functional.

It's way past time to stop this travesty and bring our people home.
Many claim that it's not so easy, I'm telling you it's easier than they want us to believe.

If we pull out of Iraq the following will occur:

Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan and Syria will have no choice but to form a coalition of Arab states and send troops to keep order or risk the Iraqi Civil War spilling over into their territories.
They will simply have no choice. The UN will also help them as will many other nations, most of them Islamic, that will not help while BushCo runs the show. Simply because of the international disrespect for America that Bush himself has created.

If we pull out, Iran will pull in the next day in order to keep the Kurds from taking the oil. Saudi's northern border is already the most chaotic province in southern Iraq. The Saudis have troops there already.

Syria has nearly a million Iraqi refugees and cannot support any more. Jordan has more than they can handle also. They will have to secure Iraq so the refugees can go home.
And no, it's not any kind of big deal to let Iran have Iraq. It's their's anyway.
If we didn't want Iran to have Iraq , president Moron shouldn't have invaded and destabilized it to begin with. Shiite majority = Iran. How did this fucking idiot not know that? Anyway, it's too late now.

After the Bush Saddress last night, John Edwards appeared in his own TV spot to lay it on the line (brilliant idea!).
Edwards told it like it is. The Iraqis and others in the region will never stand up until we leave. They are way too comfy having American kids do the fighting and dying. What Iraq needs is a multi-national Islamic force that must succeed for their own good as well as that of their neighbor.

Edwards went on to challenge Congress to somehow find the fortitude to stop funding the war and force it's end. They do not, at this time, have the courage of their convictions and more and more people are dying because of it.
Hillary and Obama are Senators right now and they're running for President. Are they standing up on the Senate floor demanding that the government be shut down until our people are brought home? Of course not.
They either don't know where they stand or don't stand where they know. Either way, our guys are dying as well as Iraqi citizens and there is no end, or "success" in sight.
The latest Bush "plan" involves only leaving this cluster fuck for the next president to deal with.

What a tangled web we weave, when 1st we practice to deceive.

Our troops can't come home until "success" is achieved in Iraq? That makes them hostages of their own chief's ideological whims. And that makes George Bush no better than any other Dictator in world history.

May God damn this despot to hell along with all who support him.

Rarely do we link to or comment on the mindless banter that oozes from the depths of the Right-Wing pundit's diseased mind, but sometimes the writing is so poor and the facts so intentionally misplaced that in a dark and slimy sort of way, it's somewhat humorous....

There's a site called "Real Clear Politics". The name alone should be indication enough that the politics is anything and everything but "clear". They seem to be trying to be fair and non-partisan but too much of that in a world infested with Righty is asking for a black mark on one's credibility.
Anyway, we won't blame the site. We do, however, have a thing or two to say about this Sowell character and his seeming lack of interest in being even close to accurate.

Sowell wrote a piece (of shit) about "Amateur Experts". Perhaps this is more of an autobiographically natured entry than Mr. Sowell realizes.

Mr. Sowell attempts to assail the Democrats in congress over their justifiable skepticism of the honesty and impartiality of General Dave Petraeus. He attempts to do so by trying to insinuate that his "marching a company of Marines to the mess hall for chow" makes him a better judge of what he hasn't seen or been a part of than the Democrats that have gone to Iraq and experienced the failure first hand.

Sowell begins by chirping...

Sometimes I feel as if I must be one of the few people left in America who is not a military expert.

Perhaps, but the men and women in congress that make it their life's work to become expertly informed on military issues are.

Sowell continues...

But people who have never even put on a uniform are confident that they know how our troops should be redeployed. Maybe this is one of the fruits of the "self-esteem" that is taught in our schools instead of education.

The biggest flurry of amateur military pronouncements occurred just before General David Petraeus testified before Congress on the situation in Iraq. Many Democrats publicly dismissed what he said before he said it, and some implied that he was a liar before he opened his mouth.

Brilliant! Of course John Kerry (D) was given a Silver Star and a couple of Purple Hearts because he "never even put on a uniform".
The Secretary of the Navy cited Carl Levin's (D)"exceptional service to the Navy and Marine Corps" in presenting him its Distinguished Public Service Award. I guess this was done because Sen. Levin knows nothing about military endeavor. (lol)
Maybe Jim Webb (D) didn't really serve in the military. Maybe as a Marine rifle platoon and company commander in the infamous An Hoa Basin west of Danang, Vietnam, he was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal, two Bronze Star Medals, and two Purple Hearts for shits and giggles.

Perhaps former and soon-to-be-again Senator Bob Kerrey (D, and staunch Iraq war opponent) was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his lack of putting on a uniform. How many Republicans and assorted warhawks have one of those?

See how stupid this is getting?

Mr. Sowell falsely and very, very ignorantly rambles on trying to force the non-point that a majority of Americans support the war in Iraq. A blatant lie as is evident by every poll and survey conducted in the last two years.

Sowell also attempts to make the case that there's something to win in Iraq and that leaving would constitute some sort of defeat. Perhaps to a defeatist it would. First of all, the war was based on lies and therefore there is no "victory" than can be achieved. Just killing, killing, and more killing. Without moral standing there is nothing to win. Perhaps Sowell considers dead Americans and Iraqis as the measure of victory, which makes me question not only his intellect and heart, but his claimed status as a former Marine as well. No wonder he was "never deployed". With an attitude like that I would barely trust him with the mess hall march, much less a combat mission.

Sowell continues to spout the same old Bush talking points and Righty rhetoric until he gets to this...

There has never been a moment when anyone in Congress, the White House, or the military has ever advocated anything other than getting out when the time is right.

Complete and total bullshit. Bush said "war without end". Congressman and presidential candidate, Dennis Kucinich said "bring them home yesterday" as did Sen. Russ Feingold. Sowell of course makes no mention of the permanent bases and other official structures that we will continue to occupy indefinitely no matter what happens in Iraq. Actually, we have never completely left anywhere that we ever fought a war. Germany, Vietnam, Korea...we still have remaining interests in all of them.
I would like to think that Mr. Sowell was just naive on this point, but lying just seems to fit the cause better.

He continues...

It is a question of reaching the point where the Iraqis themselves can deal with the terrorist and other problems of their country without American troops.

That is the direction in which the Iraqis seem to be moving already. It is not that we have "won the hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people.

"Already"? It's been four years since Bush declared "victory" in this war. Mr. Sowell's time perception seems to be malfunctioning. We're still waiting for Richard Perle's "parade through the streets of Baghdad" in honor of Bush.
Mr. Sowell seems to be oblivious to the fact the Iraqis wouldn't have any terrorism to deal with had Bush not illegally invaded a country that did absolutely nothing to us. He also seems oblivious to the fact that chaos in Iraq was part of the plan.
Sowell is right about one thing, we definitely haven't won any "hearts and minds" in Iraq. Oh, maybe an individual or two, but definitely not the hearts and minds of the 700,000 Iraqis that escaped into Syria after losing everything they owned and many of those they loved. You don't win hearts and minds by causing the deaths of people's mothers, fathers, children and friends.

Sowell also doesn't understand tribalism. Like the idiots that drafted and executed this God forsaken war, he doesn't understand Arabs, Muslims, their history, their customs, their feelings or their lives.
They're just a bunch of Those People and Sowell, like the saps in the White House, just can't understand why they won't quit fighting and embrace democracy. Easy, they don't want it. Their way is an ancient tribal way and it will not change. Not by force anyway.
Of course, all those kids that watched their parents die after the Yankees came will be sure to remember us just as fondly as they will remember the other tribes or Al Qaida that have killed their families.

A new generation of people that hate America. Nice work.

Poor Mr. Sowell. Perhaps he should go to Iraq himself and tell us about the "progress".
Going from this:

To this:

Or even this:

Is not "progress". Progress would have been leaving an innocent people alone in the first place and not fabricating evidence to justify the war that has killed hundreds of thousands of them.

Progress? A hospital being rebuilt that never needed to be destroyed in the first place? An Iraqi's home being repaired that should have never been damaged in the first place?
Perhaps those that have seen "progress" didn't realize that their Green Zone hotel had running water that the average Iraqi STILL DOESN'T HAVE. Maybe their idea of "progress" is that insurgents and other criminal groups are IN CONTROL OF THE UTILITIES.
How 'bout that progress, Sowell? Amazing, huh?

UPDATE: 9/11/07
Sen. Chuck Hagel just made a fine point while handing Petraeus and Croker their respective asses while questioning them before committee. The reduction of violent activity in Anbar and Baghdad is natural since so many of our troops have been moved there. however, that has left the southern provinces of Iraq in total chaos with Shiite militias murdering and robbing at will with no troops either US or Iraqi to be found.
A "surge" in two areas is food for the cameras. Meanwhile, the rest of Iraq is being decimated.

As we've stated previously, if Iraq became Disney Land tomorrow there is no "victory" because we cannot ever, ever justify the loss of innocent life on both sides nor can we justify the loss of credibility, loss of authority, or the creation of a new generation of terrorists that will kill innocent people all over the world simply because George Bush and his minions attacked an innocent people for no reason other than profit and a passing strategic position in a war without end.

After a dismal report from the GAO, BushCo swings the propaganda machine into full production once again...

LOL!
Another Bin Laden tape? Isn't it interesting how these tapes show up at such opportune times?

Just before the invasion of Iraq...

November 2002: Aljazeera broadcasts an audio tape in which a voice attributed to Bin Laden says the "youths of God" are planning more attacks against the US.

Bin Laden reads his last will and testament...

February 2003: An audio tape of Bin Laden reading a poetic last will and testament is aired on the British-based Islamic Al-Ansaar news agency. Bin Laden says he wants to die a martyr in a new attack against the US.

After Bin Laden died...

September 2003: In the first video image of Bin Laden in
nearly two years, he is shown walking through rocky terrain with his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Two taped messages accompanied the video.
In one, a voice purporting to be Bin Laden's praises the "great damage to the enemy" on 11 September and mentions five hijackers by name. In the other, a voice said to be that of al-Zawahiri threatens more attacks on Americans.

BinLaden '07: Damn, he looks good for a dead guy.

BinLaden '01: One foot in the grave.

...hey, wait a minute????
Ah well....

Then the recently deceased Bin Laden rolls out lots of material during the ELECTION YEAR of 2004...

December 2004: In an audio tape, the al-Qaida leader
calls on Iraqis to boycott elections and names as his Iraq deputy Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian blamed for major anti-US attacks in Iraq.

December 2004: In an audio tape posted on a website, bin Laden exonerates fighters of responsibility for violence in Saudi Arabia and calls on them to stop the flow of oil to the West.

October 2004 (so close to November): Aljazeera broadcasts a video of Bin Laden saying the US can avoid another attack like those of 11 September 2001, if it stops threatening the security of Muslims.

May 2004: In an online audio tape released on Islamic
forums, Bin Laden offers rewards of gold for the killing of US and UN officials.

April 2004: Bin Laden offers a truce to European countries that do not attack Muslims. It vows revenge against the United States for the Israeli assassination of Hamas founder Shaikh Ahmed Yassin.

January 2004: Bin Laden says on an audio tape broadcast
on Aljazeera that the US-led war in Iraq is the
beginning of the occupation of Arab Gulf states for
their oil. He calls on Muslims to keep fighting in the Middle East.

BushLaden then seems to go on vacation for the entire year of 2005. I guess the tapes weren't needed with Bush obtaining a second term in office. Fear is exploitable but boring when not needed.

2005 : Not a fucking word. Save perhaps one tape that was old and released in early January (I'm not really sure about that one).

Then at the beginning of another crucial election year that saw Republicans handily defeated in record fashion...

January 2006 : In excerpts of an audio tape aired by Aljazeera, bin Laden says al-Qaida is making preparations for attacks in the United States

Seems like every time BushCo needed a boost, either electoral or when Congress was reviewing war spending, here comes Osama to the rescue of Bush and his PNAC criminal cronies. I guess when all else fails just whip up another BushLaden tape and scare the shit out of the cowardly Republican base. Works every time!

Now, with a failing "surge" and a failed policy, BushCo is under renewed threat to lose even more Congressional support and with renewed calls for defunding, we have yet another most opportune BushLaden tape to be scared shitless over.

The Question is, it seems, who's stupid enough to believe these tapes come from a guy that was on kidney dialysis three years ago and had Hepatitis C, yet is now the picture of health?
All of the BinLaden "tapes" that have been released by BushLaden since BinLaden's death have been only audio tapes, vid captions with stills, and one vid with old footage.

When BushCo says a tape was "probably" made by Bin Laden, try to remember that he's "probably" dead.
Then ask yourself who's interests it serves to keep you thinking he's still alive.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently provided testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee concerning the status of the Iraq war. The GAO reports that there essentially is no significant "progress" at all.

So now what to do? Easy! Blame the Iraqis....

Many of us knew on day one of the invasion that it wasn't going to go well. My roommate and I sat in front of the TV and watched in amazement and sadness as the first American ordinance fell on Baghdad. We looked at each other-and as though in stereophonic sound-said to each other "that's not right".

I knew it would be a disaster because I lived in the Middle East and knew their culture, my roomie knew because of his experience at being cannon fodder in an equally foolish military endeavor called Vietnam.
Surely anyone with any semblance of intellect knew when President Moron stood on the deck of a ship under a banner that stated "we won" before the battle had even begun that there was something very, very wrong.
And now we know. 3740 American military lives and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives later, that there was a reason Saddam was so brutal. That the Religious Fundamentalist wackos that have caused so much death and suffering in Iraq were the exact same threat Saddam was suppressing with his iron hand. Clearly, Iraq was better off under Baathist control. Saddam understood this ancient tribal warfare and the depths to which it ran. BushCo did not.

The fruit of evil men

The mission failed the day it started and now it's official. So, what to do if you're the US gov't? Easy! Blame the Iraqis.

"Benchmarks"? Bullshit. You can't meet benchmarks in the middle of a tribal civil war where the primary antagonists understand only death.
The puppet government we set up, nurtured, supported and advocated has now become the scape goat for neocon failure in Iraq. Sound familiar? It should. It wasn't that long ago that we set the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden up in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, then did the same thing to them. Panama? Somalia? Iraq (twice)...The list goes on and on.

"Benchmarks"? Sorry. That just ain't gonna fly.

The parties responsible for the debacle in Iraq are easily identifiable. They are the liars, greed inspired, and practitioners of deception. They are the Bush Administration, the PNAC and the Israeli gov't.
The plan worked for the most part, on the corporate side of the equation the Commercial Crusade has netted billions with a capital B. On the ideological side, the religious zealotry of the Israeli government's Zionist Crusade and it's Christian Fundamentalist supporters hoped to cause the instability of the region with the intention of pitting Arab against Arab. That too has been successful. Though due to the strategic failures, Israel and it's supporters will most likely come to regret this foolish plan as the anger toward Israel is fueled by aggression toward it's neighbors and has now spilled over to the non-Muslim world.

Let's face it, if Iraq became Amsterdam tomorrow there would still be no possible way to excuse the loss of life involved, the damage to American credibility, and the loss of constitutional rights here at home.
The war was lost before it started. It was lost because it was immoral in it's very nature. The war was lost because it was drafted by evil, foolhardy men. The war was lost because it was born of greed and a fear of the unknown.
Not because a conglomeration of third-world tribal leaders couldn't meet a "benchmark".

The war in Iraq is lost because it was WRONG and no amount of success, either contrived, perceived or genuine will ever change that ever-prevailing fact.

Democracy Now and Amy Goodman have a startling piece about how the Bush Regime and it's minions are about to fuck over the Mountain people yet again by eliminating regulations restricting coal companies in Appalachia. This is nothing short of an attempt on all of our lives.

From the Amy Goodman interview with Appalachian activist Vernon Haltom of the Coal River Mountain Watch...

"The Bush administration is poised to issue regulations today that would legalize and expand the controversial coal mining practice known as mountaintop removal. The technique involves blasting off the tops of mountains and dumping the rubble into valleys and streams.

The regulation was drafted by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. If enacted, coal operators would be exempt from a 1983 law that prohibits surface coal mining activities from disturbing areas within 100 feet of streams."

Dumping coal waste into water systems is illegal for a reason.

The coal industry has used the explosive equivalent (474,000 metric tons) of 27 Hiroshima bombs on the Appalachian area as it is.

The Bush Regime is now going to allow them to further deregulate by abolishing the 20 year-old requirement that mines need to get a variance (permission) to dump their waste within 100 feet of rivers. Already this rule is regularly ignored to the point where over 1200 miles of river have been poisoned, and 700 miles have been basically buried.

The Bush Regime is proposing abolishing the rules completely and allowing "valley fills". In essence, they clear-cut all the trees off the top of a mountain, bury or burn the timber, blow the top of a mountain off, then dump the top of the mountain into the valley, thus devastating twice as much nature as they're killing now.

The coal industry will probably use the deaths of the coal miners in Utah as a way to obliterate what's left of Appalachia citing the lie that mountaintop removal is "safer" than underground mining. That is simply a lie.

Underground mining PROPERLY REGULATED for safety, is safer for workers and the surrounding area than topping is. Underground mining provides more jobs and impacts surrounding areas less, but topping is cheaper. They can function with fewer workers and they can make erroneous claims such as the coal sickness that surrounding residents are suffering from comes from some other factor, letting them die slowly, while the company profits... Or quickly if one of their coal slurries collapses and buries a community as it did in one of the worst environmental disasters in American history, the Massey Energy Company Coal Slurry Spill in 2000.
That spill sent 300 million gallons of coal slurry (toxic black goop) cascading down onto people's property in Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. The slurry contained hazardous chemicals including arsenic and mercury, and polluted 100 miles of stream. It killed everything in the water, all the way to the Ohio River.

And what is interesting about that spill is its relationship to the current head of the National Mine Health and Safety Academy, the coal industry shill and Bush recess appointment, Richard Stickler, who himself ran mines with shit safety records and shoulders much of the responsibility for the recent Utah Mine disaster.
Stickler had to be a recess appointment for Bush because even a then Republican dominated congress wouldn't approve his appointment.

The Bush Regime attempted to cover up the spill by interfering with the investigation of the disaster. Massey Energy and CEO Don Blankenship are BIG donors to the GOP. Ultimately Massey was only fined $110,000 in fines for a spill 25 times the size of the Exxon Valdez spill. In contrast, Exxon was fined $5 billion dollars for the Valdez incident, a drop in the bucket fine for all the damage they caused and this was 25 times bigger.

The man who blew the whistle on the Massey Energy Company Coal Slurry Spill was Richard Stickler's predecessor, Jack Spadaro The FORMER head of the National Mine Health and Safety Academy. After he revealed the problem, the Bush Administration illegally fired him and replaced him with a compliant industry hack the Bush Administration was confident would not enforce all those silly safety regulations.

Stickler didn't enforce them. And people died. And now they're trying to use those deaths to put even more people at risk.

These people are not just liars. They are MURDERERS.

More from the interview...

VERNON HALTOM: The political leadership in Appalachia is owned and operated by the coal industry. I’ll just say that straight up. In West Virginia, very, very few of our legislators are willing to take a stand, because the industry has so much money and they put so much into political campaigns and propaganda.

AMY GOODMAN: Can you name the companies that benefit?

VERNON HALTOM: Hello?

AMY GOODMAN: Can you name the companies that benefit?

VERNON HALTOM: Companies that benefit, you have Massey Energy, you have Arch Coal. Most of these companies, or at least a large number of them, are headquartered outside the state. The companies benefit, the politicians benefit, and the people suffer.

AMY GOODMAN: We're going to leave it there, but I want to thank you for being with us. We'll continue to follow this story. Vernon Haltom is co-director of the Coal River Mountain Watch, an Appalachian grassroots organization, as the Bush administration issues today regulations that will expand the coal mining practice known as mountaintop removal.

"we're treated like a Third World resource colony."
-Vernon Haltom

Massey and Arch aren't the only ones. Here, White's Creek Journal talks about Daniel Roling, the CEO of National Coal....

His employment contract is on file in Knoxville, TN and lists a very nice compensation package for Dan.
In addition to money and stock and a killer severance package, Dan and his family get health insurance...Good health insurance.
Now here is a map for you to think about. Dan and his company have a lot to do with this map. It is the power plant distribution of nasty little bits of coal ash that can go in your lungs and the lungs of your children and never come back out.
More importantly, the nasty little bits of coal ash kill about 30,000 people a year...slowly, as they suck on a little plastic tube connected to an oxygen bottle, if they are older...Or if they are younger, they carry a steroid inhaler around with them every day so that, when the airways in their lungs close up in the bodies defense mechanism that tries to keep us from breahing those nasty little bits of coal ash, the steroid inhaler will enable them to breathe again and not feel like they are suffocating.

They're killing us. For nothing more than a quick profit. These murderers have to be stopped, one way or another, they have to be stopped.
Who are we, Appalachia? Are we insects to be exterminated at the behest of George Bush, the Republican party and the mining industry?
Our children? What of the health hazards they will face growing up around valleys and rivers full of Slurry?

What do we do when our children's lives are threatened? All of our politicians are in the pockets of the coal mining industry. We have to elect someone that's not. Someone who is more likely to stop these murderers from harming any more of us. No Republican will stop this. Hillary Clinton damn sure won't stop it, she's in with them too. Let's face it, only another Southerner is going to care about us enough to help. A Southern Democrat with a history of fighting big corporations on behalf of average Americans and winning.

Either that, or we will have no choice but to take matters into our own hands.

Support the efforts of Vernon Haltom and Coal River Mountain Watch. Perhaps our final recourse won't be needed.

A special thanx to our good friend "5by5" at RRMB for his major (damn near wrote the whole thing) contribution to this installment and concern for our wellbeing.

We already know that the Religious Right can be dangerous and even downright cruel. But when the American Taliban starts torturing children in the name of God and discipline, that's where we have to drop the hammer.

What needs to be done to people like these two shits cannot be written in public, but it seems we've come down to the wire....

A disparate mother who wants to see that her child learns some discipline and respect gets lied to by a sadistic fake preacher and his harlot. They tell her there's a program that involves "tough love" that she can send her child to.
The parent believes her supposed "fellow-servant". The child is sent off, nothing will ever be the same.

All, and I do mean all, "boot camp" (oh, fer the luva God) operations are dangerous and no one should ever even think about sending a kid to the custody of anyone that claims to be "tough-love" anything. It's a money scam that's run by unstable, unqualified people who are genuinely an immediate danger to your children.
Much like Mel Sembler and the Straight Program (coming up in a blog soon) where children were beaten, raped, and driven to suicide, the following filth are predators of children. They are sadists in the very essence of the term...

From the Court TV article...

Charles Flowers, a pastor and director of Love Demonstrated Ministries Christian Boot Camp, is charged with second-degree assault.

By Mallory Simon
Court TV

The parental consent form Francis McClintock signed before sending her 15-year-old daughter to the Love Demonstrated Ministries Christian Boot Camp hinted there would be some tough love involved.

But authorities say the treatment McClintock's daughter received at the faith-based camp amounted to assault. When the girl couldn't keep up with other campers on a morning run, she was allegedly tied to a truck and dragged down a road.

The camp's director, Charles Flowers, and camp counselor Stephanie Bassitt were indicted Thursday by a Nueces County grand jury on second-degree felony assault charges, which carry sentences of two to 20 years in prison.

Charles Flowers: Predator and Shitbird

Stefanie Bassitt: Predator and out of crack

At least we can state that the single worst, most corrupt law enforcement in the nation, Texas', actually did the right thing and protected a child instead of harming one. Will miracles never cease?
These "boot camp" type child abuse operations must be dealt a swift and fatal blow in the interests of justice. Maybe with a new president and new attorney general that actually care about the children of this nation, we will begin to see an end to this kind of depraved, Satanic behavior from those that have hijacked the Christian religion for personal gain.

Rarely do we direct you to another blog without extensive commentary of our own. That will come later as you know you can expect....

Right now Lane Hudson, the blogger that exposed the Republican Pedophile Mark Foley, has filed a FEC (Federal Election Commission) complaint against Presidential wanna-be, Fred Thompson, charging that he has violated the law by spending campaign advertising dollars before officially entering the presidential race. One transgression amongst many it seems.

Here's the link to Hudson's blog. Go there and show this brave soul some genuine Lefty Blogs support. He protected children from being victims of the sexual predators that infest the congressional Republicans, he deserves our full support.

In the immortal words of Left Wing Cracker, "GO THERE NOW!"

Thanx, and best regards from captainkona.

NY police commissioner, Ray Kelly, has seemingly found his way into the pockets of the Regime. Kelly, who was once a great man, has submitted to the fear mongering, rights suppressing, propaganda spreading Right Wing ideology. You may have been a brave man in your youth, Kelly. But you're just another coward now....

There is nothing that violates the rights of Americans more effectively than Profiling. Be it racial, cultural, religious or any other type. Profiling is the tool that has been used for decades in the Drug War to attempt to pick out "criminals" from a crowd. If your hair is too long, have a Grateful Dead sticker on your car, or wear a Bob Marley T-Shirt, law enforcement is trained to consider you guilty until proven innocent.

Fascism at it worst.

Recently, A NYPD "report" conducted under the guise of anti "terrorism" efforts has set the stage for yet a newer and far more dangerous type of Profiling. The development of this new Profiling outline is now under way and will prove to be far more broad based, and far more Constitution-executing than any before it.

From the NY Times article...

Their 90-page report highlighted how ordinary people in Western nations, with unremarkable jobs and with little or no criminal histories, sometimes come to adopt a terrorist ideology.

So, if you're financially sub par (poor to the rest of us) or just an average citizen with no criminal record, you could come to adopt a "terrorist ideology"? What is a "terrorist ideology" anyway? A justifiable anger toward the filth in your government? Dissent? Questioning authority? A desire to change your country for the better?
You can bet it's all that and more. Actually, with Profiling, "terrorist ideology" can be anything they want it to be. There is no oversight of Profiling. No checks and balances. It's all done by the seat of law enforcement's pants and they simply aren't smart enough nor patriotic enough to be trusted with such an easy method to abuse the rights of citizens. American law enforcement is severely depleated in the integrity category as it is. Now this?
The potential for disaster is far too great to allow.

Caving in in the face of terror

This has little if anything to do with Muslims as they try to suggest and everything to do with violating the rights of Americans as a whole...

The report identified four steps in the process of radicalization: pre-radicalization, self-identification, indoctrination and jihadization. Pre-radicalization, it said, “describes an individual’s world — his or her pedigree, lifestyle, religion, social status, neighborhood and education

Pre-Radicalization? Becoming aware that the fascists that control your country are trying to destroy the freedom you have always enjoyed?

Self-identification? Finding out that you're a Liberal? Having a Bush Sucks sticker on your car?

Indoctrination? Joining a Liberal blog or message board? Kelly did say "the internet is the new Afghanistan". Sure, it's the single dumbest statement you've ever heard, but they're rollin' with it.

Jihadization? Believing other than what the establishment believes? Not submitting to their fascist rule or accepting the states version of the national religion?

Profiling of this nature is a violation of existing federal law. Not to mention everything we, as Americans, believe in...

“While aggressive counterterrorism policies are to be commended, this report appears to treat all young Muslims as suspects and to lay the groundwork for wholesale surveillance of Muslim communities without there being any sign of unlawful conduct,” he said. “To target Muslims in this way would mark a dangerous and unlawful erosion of the line separating the police from lawful religious activity.”

All religious beliefs will lose their protection, all of them. But that's only one small aspect of this transgression. It is aimed at labeling all those that engage in dissent of any kind "terrorists".

This particular profiling program is a victory for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida. This is the erosion of freedom they wanted to see in our country. And cowards like Bush, Ray Kelly, and all who support this travesty have handed our freedom to the enemy on a silver platter.
We may well have reached the end of the line in this country when a fascist regime can implement this kind of constitutional violation while congress stands by and does exactly nothing to stop it.

Ultimately, this kind of profiling will only serve as a guideline for any genuine potential "domestic terrorist" to change their habits to avoid the profile. Kinda like the smuggler that cuts his hair, puts on a shirt and tie, and drives a conservative car with a trunk full of Meth.

May God have mercy on what's left of this nation, and may He damn those who seek it's destruction from within. Namely the NeoCons that occupy the White House and all those that support them.

And don't let the door hit you in you fat, triple chinned, Nazi lovin', traitorous, freedom hating, blaspheming, pathetic, Ned Beatty in Deliverance lookin', pig-faced fucking ass.

Celebrate!

This is the biggest victory for the Left since John Asscroft fell. Enjoy, Liberal bloggers! You've earned it.

Nazi Bitch

GOOD NEWS!

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The resignation of Karl Rove, architect of President George W. Bush's election triumphs and a crucial behind-the-scenes policy guru, is the latest sign of the White House's diminished agenda and shattered dreams of a Republican super-majority, analysts said.

Rove, the last and most prominent of Bush's inner circle of Texas advisers to quit the administration, leaves a lame-duck president suffering from low approval ratings, an unpopular war in Iraq and public rejection in the 2006 elections.

Quite simply, fuck AT&T

AT&T has been engaged in Anti-American, treasonous activity for some time now.
The world already knows that AT&T has been deeply involved in the illegal warrantless spying activity of the Bush Regime since the program's inception. AT&T is still being sued by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) and others over the constitutional violations...

AT&T Wiretapping Case Headed for Hearing
Federal appeals court will hear arguments next Wednesday on whether to stop a class-action privacy suit based on allegations that the government and AT&T Inc. have been working together in an illegal wiretapping program.

Now, AT&T has been caught censoring music that is critical of the Fascist Regime that they worship. The recent censorship of Pearl Jam is making enough waves to force AT&T to publicly apologize for their transgression. Problem is, this isn't the first time they've done it nor is it the worst violation of the American way they're guilty of.

Apology? Fuck you and the whores that bore ya.

AT&T, based in San Antonio, TX (where else?) is lead by Randall L. Stephenson, chairman and chief executive officer.

Punk DeJour

Look at that grill...he looks like the rabbit in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
This man is a traitor. There is no question about it now. You don't apologize unless you've done something wrong and in this case the apology, obviously not sincere, is pure damage control. Hopefully, the American people won't swallow this condescending attempt to avoid responsibility and avoid being made to suffer the appropriate penalty. The penalty being the widest corporate boycott in history.

We ask all Americans that appreciate their privacy and the implications of being without it to join in and totally and completely shun any and all services offered by AT&T
Our Cingular cell service, which was purchased by AT&T, has been dumped and they were told why.

We can not continue to tolerate this kind of threat to our freedom. Nor can we show any quarter to those involved. All these corporate pigs care about is money. It's the blood that flows through their corporate traitor veins. We must take it from them, one drop at a time.

Ah, so the Blue Dogs show their cowardice yet again. Par for the course in DLC land....

They just don't get it. These DLC/Blue Dog asshats are so out of touch that they actually think that opposing Bush's bullshit warrantless wiretapping agenda will hurt them politically. Fucking idiots, he's the most unpopular president in history.

Understand something you fucking morons, real Americans don't care what the threat my be. WE AREN'T GIVING UP OUR FUCKING RIGHTS!!! You sorry-ass cowards.

First thing is simple, when you have proven criminals running the White House, if you are Congress, YOU GIVE THEM NOTHING!
So, the Dems waste time threatening Gonzales with investigation for lying to congress, then they give him total control of the NSA wiretapping program? That's how you build credibility, right?
A few months ago, a secret ruling by a FISA judge declared surveillance of communications that pass through U.S. communications nodes illegal without a warrant.
So what we have is Bush conducting an illegal wiretapping effort since 2001 and though the Dems complained aggressively about it before, they just legalized it in a retro sort of way.

Way to go, shit heads.

Anyway....We could go on forever. But you've heard most of it already. Here, read if you need to.
We really just wanted to call attention to some local Centrist Jelly Spines that have betrayed our right to privacy yet again....

Aye TN-5 Cooper, Jim [D]

Aye TN-4 Davis, Lincoln [D]
Ah yes, Mr. Real ID act.(DLC) Still cowering in your corner because of the big, bad Bush. Lincoln Davis should be on a reality show where there's a camera on him 24/7. He obviously holds personal privacy in very low esteem so he shouldn't mind.
Nothing more pathetic than a man on his knees, Lincoln. You should see yourself from where I'm sitting.

So many DLCers, so little respect for freedom.

The above Scum voted to give criminals more leverage to commit more crimes against the people of this nation. Thankfully, most Democrats voted against the measure. Great Americans like Russ Feingold and Dennis Kucinich showed exactly why they are great Americans. Hillary, Obama and Biden voted Nay, but they're presently trying to pander to the Left for presidential votes so they don't count.

One thing's for certain, Cooper, Davis and Gordon must be replaced when they come again up for re-election. They have betrayed the nation and in doing so, have betrayed the State of Tennessee and it's people as well.

Well, there you go. The Democratic Congress passed the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) by a narrow margin. You'd think that a decent person, especially those that fancy themselves "Christians" would be elated that America's children would receive the Health Care they so disparately need.

But not only did Republicans oppose Child Health Care, they actually threw a hissy fit on the floor of the House. What a vile bunch of vermin....

So depraved, so inhuman and unGodly.

The Republican party has always had a lock on child abuse, we already knew that. It's in their selfish, controlling nature to abuse. And being spineless, they naturally seek the weakest, most vulnerable forms of life and prey upon them.
Child beaters, pedophiles...their inherent hatred for children is astonishing and the openness of it is sadly amazing and thoroughly despicable.
Now, the Republican party has finally shown the world it's pure disdain for the most vulnerable of our citizens...

The US House of Representatives voted 225 to 204 yesterday to expand the government sponsored child health insurance program SCHIP and increase its budget by nearly 50 billion dollars over five years, despite a threat by President Bush that he would veto the legislation because it would move America toward nationalized healthcare.

That's basically divided right down the middle. With Democrats championing the cause of our children and the Republicans, in force, trying to harm, or even kill them.
The motivation behind the Republican vote is multifaceted. Aside from their hatred for kids, the primary excuse offered by the baby killer, George Bush, was that SCHIP would take money out of the pockets of his Health Care Industry buddies. That's true Republicanism for you, money first and forget the children. And you can bet that President Lucifer will veto our children's lives the way he vetoed our soldier's lives.

The Democrats in congress only want all children to have the same Health Care that their children get at our expense. You can bet the children of certain Republicans have no trouble getting Health Care.

Jenna Bush gets the best of care after she gets drunk and falls down at a frat party.

Get a load of this Republican squirrl...

Republican Representative Jim McCrery of Louisiana agreed with the President that the Democrat led bill was "a massive expansion of government-controlled health care". He said it was a ploy to "lure" middle class families out of private health insurance.

So, providing Health Coverage to our children is some sort of Liberal Conspiracy? Who voted for this fuckwit?

Our children are the most precious thing we have. They are our future, our hope for a better America and a better world.
Jesus of Nazareth said...

"What you do unto these little ones, you do also to me".

Jesus had the best Health Care plan ever, and he never charged so much as a shekel for it. Only that one be healed was reward enough.

Tired of it yet, America? Tired of Republicans killing?
Killing our country and our constitution, killing our troops, killing our environment and our wildlife. Killing our morale, our status of greatness and our moral authority around the world.

Killing our future, our hope.

Killing.

Vote Human in '08. Vote Democrat.

A brief recap...
15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Nationals. Saudi and the "Royal Family" are practitioners of Wahhabi Islam, a tiny, loose cannon sect of Sunni Islam. The same sect that Osama Bin Laden belongs to.

We now know what has been believed for some time, the Saudis are supplying funds and weapons to the same Sunni insurgents that our troops are fighting.

So, why is Gorge Bush giving them more weapons?

I guess it's almost impossible to be shocked by the treasonous actions of the Bush Regime after all the vile and evil things we've witnessed, but just when you think they can't stoop any lower, they somehow manage to gravitate to the very bottom yet again.

As the USA Today reports, and the Iraq Study Group supports, Saudis are funding the Sunni insurgency in Iraq. But....our guys are fighting the Sunni insurgency in Iraq. The USA Today is totally untrustworthy most of the time, but even they can't ignore this.
They begin like the Right-Wing shills they are by stating...

"Private Saudi citizens are giving millions of dollars to Sunni insurgents in Iraq and much of the money is used to buy weapons, including shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, according to key Iraqi officials and others familiar with the flow of cash."

Walking hand in hand with terror

Now, why did they write "private Saudi Citizens". Trying to divert attention away from The Saudi Royal Terrorist Family are we? Should have been a little more subtle.

It's obvious that the Saudi Royals are nervous about the Iraq war. They are mortal enemies with Iran and it's Shiite Islam sect. Since Saddam was the only thing keeping Shiite fundamentalism at bey, and now he's gone, Iraq (which has a Shiite majority to begin with) is basically West Iran.

Nice work, Neocons.

If we pull out of Iraq (which we should have done yesterday), Saudi Arabia will have it's worst enemy (next to Israel) on it's northern border.
Now, who stands to lose the most if Shiite Islamic Revolution moves into Saudi? Not the "private Saudi citizens". They're already some of most oppressed people on earth.
The Royals, they'll be the ones hanging from street lights when the smoke clears.

No, it's not "private citizens", though obviously those that have money would give. No, it's those with the most money and the most to lose. The Saudi Government...

"there is a growing danger that the Saudi leadership will try to protect its interests by supporting Sunni radicals in their fight against Iranian-backed Shiites, even though these same fighters are also rabidly anti-American. That could have ominous consequences for the long-standing, though always complicated, alliance between Riyadh and Washington."

"Rabidly anti-American"? The Saudis support them, and Bush is giving them weapons?
I guess the question is, who's stupid enough to think that those same weapons won't kill an innocent Iraqi or even one of our own?...

"The Bush administration is preparing a package of arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that could be worth some $20 billion over the next 10 years, a senior U.S. defense official said on Saturday."

The outting of Valrerie Plame was bad enough, but this may be the most loathsome kind of treason I've ever heard of. Give weapons to a people that will give them to the guys that our guys are fighting...
This is pure insanity.

The Iraq Study Group fingers the Saudis as a source of support for the insurgents. How much support is not yet known.
What is known is this, George W. Bush and his horde of imps seem to be doing everything they can to get as many of our troops killed as possible.
This has got to stop, it has to stop now.
The Saudis have produced the 9/11 hijackers, they have tampered with our elections, they are supporting our enemies in Iraq, they gouge us for oil, and Bush is giving them weapons.

How long are we going to put up with this?

Early on, the Congress is ready to block the sale if they can. Somebody had better do something fast. This government is out of control and getting worse every day.

Or....PNAC: Know Your Traitors Pt.6

The DLC is coming to Nashville with their poster boy, Bill Clinton in tow. Time to clear the air about the true agenda of the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council).

Much like the stain on Monica Lewinski's dress, the DLC is the stain that can destroy the Democratic party. They almost accomplished that years ago. Led by Corporate Whore Extrodinare', Hillary Clinton, the DLC has sought the Rightification of the Democratic Party and has caused us much damage in the past and present, and will again in the future if we're stupid enough to elect one of these losers to the White House.

Just the fact that James "fish face" Carville was so jealous of the outstanding job Howard Dean did in organizing the sweeping, Repig hammering victory, for the Democratic Party in the '06 Congressional elections is enough to fully expose the meddling deceit that the DLC is known for.
Carville, the failed Democratic advisor, immediately pounced on Dean in a fit of rage and suggested Dean be replaced by the punk, Harold Ford Jr., as head of the DNC (the real Democrats). Pathetic behavior to display toward the man that won the House and Senate back for the first time in nearly two decades.

Now, About Will Marshall...Have you been paying attention? Check the list!

Will Marshall, PNAC Traitor and Iraq war signatory

This bastard is the founder of the DLC and former president of the unaptly named Progressive Policy Institute. PPI is to the DLC what the PNAC is to the RNC... Bad advice and disdain for Americans and the American way.

He recently served on the board of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, an organization chaired by Joe Lieberman and John McCain designed to build bipartisan support for the invasion of Iraq. Marshall also signed, at the outset of the war, a letter issued by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) expressing support for the invasion. Marshall signed a similar letter sent to President Bush put out by the Social Democrats USA on Feb. 25, 2003, just before the invasion. The SDUSA letter urged Bush to commit to "maintaining substantial U.S. military forces in Iraq for as long as may be required to ensure a stable, representative regime is in place and functioning."

Marshall is the quintessential War Hawk and has placed his bloodthirsty Zionist ideology firmly in the hearts and minds of the DLC Scum that follow him. That's why Hillary, Biden, Harold Ford Jr. and the rest are so ardently pro war. If they claim not to be today, they lie. They know the Democratic Base and in fact, most Americans want our soldiers home. So they will pander and lie and kiss as much ass as it takes to get elected and then, like Bill Clinton did, they will turn their backs on those foolish enough to cast a vote in their favor.

The DLC is the PNAC with a light coat of sugar. Don't be fooled.

To quote Will Marshall:

You know, let's let Hollywood and the Cannes Film Festival fawn all over Michael Moore. We ought to make it pretty clear that he sure doesn't speak for us when it comes to standing up for our country.
— Will Marshall, President of the Progressive Policy Institute, the think-tank of the DLC

Michale Moore was right and now, with his new documentary on American health care, "Sicko"...He's the pride of the nation and champion of the needy. But naturally, the DLC attacks anything that is pro-people or anti-war.

Let's also quote Al From while we're at it:

We've got to repudiate, you know, the most strident and insulting anti-American voices out there sometimes on our party's left... We can't have our party identified by Michael Moore and Hollywood as our cultural values.
— Al From, CEO, Democratic Leadership Council

Sounds soooo Republican....

So, how 'bout the DLC Presidential Candidates?

Hillary Clinton:
Voted for the Patriot Act (every time). The single biggest act of cowardice ever perpetrated by our leaders.

Hillary's money is as corporate and filthy as any Bush and Cheney ever had....

Citigroup- every bit as dirty as Enron.

Goldman/Sachs- The Zionist Bank Account. Now let's see, who do we know from Goldman Sachs?...Oh yeah! Robert Zoellick. The PNAC traitor and new head of the World Bank. WOW! What a coincidence.
Zoellick is a senior executive of Goldman Sachs, and until recently was the Deputy US Secretary of State. He was also an adviser for Enron.

Hillary Clinton, just like the rest of the DLC, is as dirty as they come. The former President of the College Republicans, and now DLC Presidential candidate has a stark history of shady deals and downright dishonesty as was obvious in the Whitewater Scandal. There's no reason to think anything has changed. The name Clinton, and the DLC, are forever synonymous with deceit and self indulgence.

Joe Biden:
Aka Mr. Rave Act has been assaulting privacy and free expression for a long, long time.
Though not as pro-war as the rest of the DLC, Biden is probably second only to Joe Lieberman in going whichever way the political wind blows.
Biden would surely, like Bill Clinton did, turn the drug war up a notch or two to appease his Right Wing masters.
Biden is a lobbyist's dream. He is one of the largest recipients of Lobbyist money in 2006 ranking just behind...you guessed it, Hillary Clinton.

Yes, the DLC is coming to Nashville. They're bringing their poster boy, their corruption, their private jets and their blatant lies.
These jelly spines talk about Bush? They're not much different. Especially the Clintons.
It's been said that having only two families run the country over the past three decades is dangerous, and it is.
1989–1993---------Bush
1993–2001---------Clinton
2001-2009---------Bush
2009--------------Clinton again?

But it's not just that the same two families run things, it's having two families that are so much alike running things that's the problem.

Better wake up, Democrats. We're being force-fed Hillary Clinton and the DLC for a reason.

Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr. has finally stood up for the 4th Amendment and the traditional Tennessee respect for the right of individual privacy that separates us from so many other states when it comes to respect for our citizens.

GOOD JOB, COOPER!

Of course it's illegal, but it goes far beyond the confines of statutory law.
Mandatory Drug Testing is rape. Quite simply, it's a non-consensual intrusion into the body of another person. Just like sexual rape is not about sex but about control, mandatory drug testing is likewise about control, not safety or fair play.
It's guilty until proven innocent and that's unacceptable in a free nation.

If George Bush wasn't as stupid as he is, he would see that his miserable employment creation record is largely, in our opinion, due to this crazed industrial desire to pry into the private lives of American workers. What you do at home never has, is not now, and never will be anyone's business but your own.

Of course, there is always a contingency of asshats that have drank so deeply of the Drug War Kool-Aid that they consider "drugs" to be something so bad that they will gladly sacrifice their rights, and yours, to keep a free person from smoking a joint in the privacy of their own home.
These are the kind of people that run this country right now and obviously, they know not what they do.

Take this fascist for instance....

“I’m disappointed,” said Ralph Ringstaff, a Williamson County school board member. “Anything to keep young kids from using drugs I’m in support of.”

With people like Ringstaff around we're lucky to have any right to privacy left at all. It's sad to learn that people like this are in any way involved in the upbringing of our children. It's sad and it's dangerous.
The law is clear...

The opinion could conflict with testing programs in place at several Tennessee school districts. State law bars schools from testing a student unless the principal has a good reason to suspect him or her of drug use.

Yet a few schools, regardless of right and wrong, say they will continue to commit high-tech rape of our youth. One Right-Wing Pig named Steve Duke, Gallatin Athletic Director, is quoted as saying...

"We feel it gives kids another reason to say "no"-they can't do drugs because the may be tested. To us, that's reason enough to continue"

Well no shit, bozo. The "other reason" is usually referred to as coercion.
But hey, what do kids need with fundamental constitutional rights, Mr. Duke? (any relation to David Duke?) Perhaps we should just send them all to the Straight program for some physical abuse too.

Hopefully The State Courts will side with our Attorney General in wisdom and respect for the privacy of the citizens of the state of Tennessee. We urge parents who's kids attend any school that refuses to stop this form of rape to file suit immediately.
You can test your kids in the home if you think need be.
We urge parents to reaffirm to your children that they have privacy rights. The same rights afforded to all Americans, and that such rights are never to be taken for granted or sacrificed in the name of paranoia and zealotry.

I always wondered how long it would take this Zionist Pig, Eric Edelman, Under-Secretary of State, to expose himself as just another part of the Zionist Power Configuration that is killing this nation and the freedoms we have always enjoyed...

Now, as much as this needs to be talked about, don't misunderstand us. We are not defending Hillary Clinton from attack. She is one of them. The exchange between Hillary and Edelman was most likely set up by Hillary's campaign managers to create the illusion that she's really anti-war in an attempt to help spit-shine her horrible image amongst her own base.
Hillary is a war hawk. Make no mistake about it. She will not end the war and bring our troops home. She voted for the war and has continually refused to denounce it in principal. Only daring to question the way it was handled and never questioning the morality and legality thereof.

The vid at this link
is a brief interview of Hillary Clinton conducted by Hank Plante.
In the video, Hank inquires of Hillary as to ending the war.

Plante said to Hillary:

"what can you personally do to stop the war".

Hillary said:

"we're doing all we can to change course".

If we could manage to "change course" in Iraq as slickly as Hillary does in this interview, our troops would be in good shape. Two faced bitch.

No, this isn't about defending Hillary from accusation. There's no defense for her. This is about the Zionist agenda that both Hillary and this Zionist punk, Eric Edelman, embrace.

Eric Edelman is the filthy little maggot that replaced the guy that fabricated the intelligence against Saddam, PNAC Traitor, Doug Feith.
Edelman was the failed Ambassador to Turkey around the start of the Iraq war...

Edelman's two-year stay in Ankara turned into a lightning rod for deepening anti-U.S. sentiment in Turkey. The Turkish columnist Ibrahim Karagul wrote: “Edelman is probably the least-liked and trusted American ambassador in Turkish history” (quoted in K. Gajendra Singh, “U.S.-Turkish Relations Go Wobbly Now Over Syria,” Al Jazeerah, March 23, 2005).

In a column for the newspaper Yeni Safak, Karagul wrote: “Considering the range of his activities, his statements which violate the decorum of democracy, and his interest in Turkey's internal affairs, Eric Edelman acts more like a colonial governor than an ambassador. Edelman's actions have exceeded his diplomatic mission. His ‘interest' in nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the Turkish media, and ethnic minorities make him go beyond his role as an ambassador. His presence here has never contributed to Turkish-American relations, and it never will. If we want to address the reasons for anti-Americanism, Edelman must be issue one. As long as Edelman stays in Turkey, the chill wind disturbing bilateral relations will last.”

Edelman may not be a signatory of the PNAC, but his religious background and his associations with such Zionist Traitors as I.(scooter)Lewis Libby, Zalmay Khalilzad, and the diabolical Traitor Richard Pearle place him firmly in the PNAC/Zionist Traitor category.

Once again, we see yet another Zionist Pig installed in a high government position by the Bush Regime. Just a coincidence? Obviously not.

Interestingly enough, Sen. Richard Lugar (a Republican Zionist sympathizer himself) has also suggested (meekly) a "new course" in Iraq. I don't recall Edelman accusing Lugar of supporting the enemy. In fact, Edwards, Kucinich, Richardson and the American people in general have been far more animate about ending the war than Hillary ever has. Which supports the Idea that her staff pushed Edelman to speak about her.

My, such a tangled web of deceit.

Know your traitors. And refuse to support those candidates that support them, either through direct support or apathy.

First of all, thanx to John Shuck for the original post on this foul behavior committed by those American Mullahs that call themselves “Conservative Christians". John is a beautiful human being, so we had to put our two cents worth in here so as not to upset John or his blog with our acidic commentary. The vid below depicts the sad, depraved state that the Christian religion finds it’s self in these days. Atheists and others tend to blame Jesus, or religion in general, for this kind of tragic display. But ultimately, only the twisted minds of the seemingly demon possessed are to blame… CNN Story Here WATCH VIDEO HERE. The small handful of blasphemers that disrupted the opening prayer by Chaplain Rajan Zed, a Hindu chaplain, and drew the ire of Sen. Robert Casey who called for the Sargent-at-Arms to restore order, showed an all too common blatant disrespect for the American way and the name of the Lord. Hopefully the SAA restored said order through a suitable application of mace or pepper spray. We all know what Jesus would have done to those who so defile the image of the Lord… John 2:13-22

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area,

The Chaplain was invited by Sen. Harry Reid to engage in a generic prayer that was intended to reach beyond religious confines and project a message of love for all to understand and absorb. Clergy of all kinds are invited to lead the prayer in the same way. But no, the American Taliban won’t have that. Only their twisted, self-serving, back-assward version of a religion they’re not even smart enough to understand themselves will do. It must be nice to have a monopoly on God. Geeze… I assume God will tell them how He feels about it one day. Make no mistake, these people are in no way shape or form “Christians". They are the money changers in the temple, the Pharisees, the (re)Publicans, the Zionists, and the faithless Jesus Pimps that hide behind God for personal gain. Perhaps the pain of having been Left Behind when the Rapture came last week was more than they could bear and they’re just angry. Whatever the excuse, behavior like this just reinforces the widely held belief that Christianity is a faith based on exclusion, bigotry, and fear. All things Jesus hated. Woe to them….

So, for all those in denial, Persident Moron just admitted that treason has been committed by someone in the White House. Well no shit, Sherlock.

Just like the Right claiming that Saddam had WMD, then Bush stating emphatically that he didn't. Then the Right said that Iraq was involved in 9/11, then Bush admitting, again emphatically, that Iraq had "nothing" to do with 9/11.

When are you Right-Wing idiots going to start listening to the Left? You're always wrong and we're virtually right all the time. What is it? Your unearned egos so big they crowd your brains and cut of blood flow?
It's a shame you vermin have let your country suffer and our soldiers die just so you don't have to have to admit you made the wrong political choices.
Losers, all of you.

But anyway...
Not only does your Commander-In-Chump pardon a traitor and shield other traitors (himself included), he now expects us to just forget it and "move on"?

That's why we blog, morons. To make sure yesterday's news stays Today's News forever. There is no "moving on" unless we allow it. And in this case we won't.

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Thursday acknowledged publicly for the first time that someone in his administration likely leaked the name of a CIA operative, although he also said he hopes the controversy over his decision to spare prison for a former White House aide has "run its course."

"And now we're going to move on," Bush said in a White House news conference.

Taking a bite out of freedom

Just move on. Never mind that the lying sack of shit promised to fire anyone who was involved. Yep, that's great advice coming from one that with any justice will find himself in a Euro-Prison serving a life sentence for war crimes and crimes against humanity. I'll bet Bush would like us to just move on and forget the whole thing. Charles Manson would have probably liked that too. Augustus Pinochet no doubt would have preferred the same as would Saddam, but it just didn't happen. Well, it won't happen for BushCo either.

The Democrats in Congress are piling up quite an impressive historical record of all the crimes and assorted evils that we have witnessed over the last seven years...
Treason
Constitutional Subversion
Domestic Spying
Torture of Innocent People
Vote Fraud
Neglecting Veterans
Murdering Soldiers and Innocent Iraqis
Promoting Racism
Failing to Secure Our Borders...

It's only a matter of time. The worst is yet to come for the Bush Regime and it's Brown Shirted, Goose Stepping worshipers.
Bush has admitted that he knows who leaked the identity of CIA covert operative, Val Plame. He is required by law to report a high crime if he has knowledge of one, as it is with any American anywhere in the nation. George Bush is harboring traitors in the White House and the fucking idiot just admitted it.

Your day of comeuppance draws near, Righty. And we're laughing at you and shaking our heads.
May justice, when it finally comes, be swift and above all, final.

Independent of what is another matter.
Independent of the Crown? Which one? England? I don't think we even need a holiday to remind us of that.

As we celebrate our "Independence" we'd better remember that under Republican Corporate Fascist rule, "Independence", much like "Freedom", is just a word. Nothing more.

Happy 4th.

National Archives

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The history of the present King of Great Britain (America) is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

This post was inspired by "a_blue_georgia" at RRMB.

Today, President Moron has commuted the jail term of the Traitor, Scooter Libby. Libby, the PNAC traitor, was convicted of lying to a grand jury in relation to the treason case involving Dick Cheney's exposure of the covert CIA operative Valerie Plame in an act of revenge against Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Wilson questioned the pre-fabricated evidence used to go to war with Iraq.

Treason Timeline

Here is the rest of the PNAC list. Most likely you saw how Part 1 of this series solicited some interesting reactions from one of those on the list in only about 24 hrs.

This exposure, which is nothing new as we said previously, struck a nerve and we're very proud of that. We also thank our PNAC visitors for confirming the paranoia that is characteristic of zealots. Zionists, Nazis, Communists, Fundamentalists...all suffer from a deranged sort of paranoia and that would be fine, except these people are in control of our government and their paranoid delusions are a threat to all Americans and the world.

Don't be stupid, America. This threat is as real as any there's ever been.

World Domination the Neocon way.
~~~~~~~~~~
This is what Iraq is all about. And I am now sure in my gut that 9/11 was the stepping stone before it...and the
theft of 2000 was the opening they needed to get their foot in the door. How then can we really trust anyone? This
system is truly TOXIC and this goes SO DEEP that we will not get it back by continuing to allow business as usual.

My God, we were so lied to and deceived and it is has cost us so many innocent lives along with what we thought was a Democracy. Traitors in our midst indeed. And what are we really going to do about it? What truly is our recourse?

Well, by now you've heard that The Supreme Court, under the leadership of a fucking fascist named John Roberts, has stated that students have no First Amendment Rights...

Fuck them. This is an illegitimate court simply because Bush is an illegitimate president. Evidence of Vote Caging proves that conclusively.

We at TN420.org encourage all students everywhere to have "Bong Hits for Jesus" t-shirts printed, drawn, whatever...Then organize the other students and wear the shirts to school. You have to stand up for your rights, those who don't don't deserve to have them.

If you're local in the Bristol, TN area the TN420 Emporium is going to begin selling such shirts in late July. We will sell them at cost just to make sure everyone gets one.
(funny, Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up is playing as I write this.)

John Roberts is the illegitimate child of a abominable union between Religious Fascism and a Corporate Fascist government. His rulings and decisions are no more genuine than those of the Mullahs of Iran. They serve only the ideology of a fringe movement and do not in any way serve the common good.

All students, no matter what age, should rebel against this anti-American, anti-Constitutional decision.

May Roberts and his imps (Scalia, Thomas, etc.) receive their abysmal reward soon. The enemies of Freedom are the enemies of Jesus.

In this particular entry, we would like to direct your attention to one of the most knowledgeable personalities available concerning the ZPC (Zionist Power Configuration) in America, James Petras from dissidentvoice.org.
James Petras, a former Professor of Sociology at Binghamton University, New York, owns a 50-year membership in the class struggle, is an adviser to the landless and jobless in Brazil and Argentina, and is co-author of Globalization Unmasked (Zed Books). His latest book is, The Power of Israel in the United States (Clarity Press, 2006).

The worst enemy America has ever had is right here at home, right now....

There is no "Shadow Government" as it's oft referred to amongst conspiracy theorists. There is however an un-elected influence that is omni-potent when it comes to the foreign policy practices of the US government. They are not hidden. There is no "Shadow". These traitors are right in front of us, there for all to see.
One has only to endeavor to absorb this knowledge and open their eyes. The "Shadow" lies in the lack of individual desire to understand and the apathy of those who do not care what happens to their country.

America is in grave danger. And it has nothing to do with Islamic Fundamentalists.

Dr. Petras offers the clear and indispensable idea that supports steadfastly the concept of Ablogination's expose on the Traitors of the PNAC, AIPAC, and the ZPC as a whole.
These traitors have very strategic methods of suppressing anti-Zionist speech and in doing so, violate the constitutional rights of all Americans and the God given right to dissent openly and avidly.

The response of the critics of Israel and the ZPC to these attacks has been weak at best and cowardly at worst. Some critics have responded that their criticism is only directed toward a specific policy or leader, or to Israeli policies in the OT and that they recognize Israel is a democracy, that it requires secure borders, and that it is in the interests of the Israeli 'people' to lower their security barriers. Others argue that their criticism is directed at securing Israeli interests, influencing the Zionist Lobby or to opening a debate. They claim that the views of 'most' Jews' in the US are not represented by the 52 organizations that make up the Presidents of the Major Jewish Organizations of America, or the thousands of PACs, local federations, professional associations and weekly publications which speak with one voice as unconditional supporters of every twist and turn in the policy of the Zionist State.

They call those who ask these tough, critical questions "Anti-Semites", "Nazis", "Jew Haters", and "Supporters of Terrorism". Even going as far as to invent new meaning to the term "Semite". Saddam was a Sunni Muslim, a "Semitic" people. Therefore, deposing Saddam was, in fact, an "anti-Semitic" action.

Ishmael was born of Abraham, and (Sunnite) Arabs (and specifically Muslims) consider themselves to be descendants of him, so they are both Semitic and Hebrews.

Read about Semites here

This action of labeling dissenters "anti-Jewish" has been very effective in the past. No one want's to be perceived as being bigoted against Jewish people or secular Israelis. The ZPC knows this and in their way of deception, capitalize on the sense of fair play most Americans possess.

The ZPC controls much of the media in America from TV news to Hollywood. That unacceptable influence is pictured rather clearly in this report concerning Michale Moore's newest movie, Sicko. Moore tells the truth when he exposes Hillary Clinton as the corporate whore she is.

Moore said after the premiere that movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, a personal friend and supporter of the Clintons whose company financed the film, "begged" him to remove a scene exposing Hillary Clinton as the second-highest recipient of campaign donations from the health-care industry.

Filmmaker Michael Moore said producer Harvey Weinstein urged him to cut a scene in his new film
Filmmaker Michael Moore said producer Harvey Weinstein urged him to cut a scene in his new film "Sicko" that revealed the health-care industry's financial support of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Weinstein is a friend of Clinton's.

Weinstein is also obviously Jewish, and could be a Zionist though we have no proof of such. We do however have strong proof of Hillary Clinton's Zionism ties...
Hillary Clinton and the Israel Lobby
No matter how hard the Zionist entity tries to change the equation, 2+2 still equals 4.

The obvious is exactly that, obvious. The Zionist Power Configuration in America is very real and must be resisted at all costs. That includes being very, very vocal in public and on the Net about this treason and the traitors that practice it. Physical resistance cannot be ruled out either.

Al Qaida is the least of our worries.

http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Dec06/Petras25.htm

The flow of shit that comes out of Connecticut in the form of politicians is a blight on the nation. Where are the Connecticut Liberals when this kind of foolishness is going on?

First and foremost, we know there are many, many good people in CT. But it seems they're not doing their part to stand up for what's right. How do scum like Gov. Rell get elected in what is supposed to be a very Blue state?

First, Connecticut fucked the nation by bringing forth the Bush Family. The single worst family in our history (yes, worse than the Manson family). Then they gave us the scourge that is Joe "the traitor" Lieberman. Now, there is yet another piece of Connecticut shit to flush, Connecticut Governor, M. Jodi Rell.

This Republican Connecticunt has vetoed, much like Bush, compassion and dignity. The Connecticut legislature approved Medical Marijuana because the good people of Connecticut demanded it. It is their will.

But nooooo, they have this tramp of a Gov. that decides to sacrifice all that is good and decent for the lame, fully debunked, age-old excuse that legalizing Medical Marijuana somehow "sends a mixed message to children".
The only "mixed message" children get from filth like Rell is that though Republicans talk about compassion they have no intention of delivering any.

Oddly enough, Rell herself had to have a mastectomy due to breast cancer. Seems the suffering of Connecticut would be better off had Rell lost that battle.
Now it's on Connecticut voters to do something about it.

Connecticut, you fucked us by reelecting Liberman over Lamont. You've fucked us by hatching the Bush family, and now you've fucked us with this skank, Rell.

When are you going to live up to your freedom loving billing?

That slimy little imp we all know as "Red" Joe Lieberman has yet again opened his foolish, Zionist mouth and embraced the illogic of putting American troops at risk for the benefit of an undeserving, cowardly Israel.

Joe Lieberman has stated point blank the the US should "Bomb Iran". What exactly does this idiot think this will accomplish? Iran is no threat to the US, but they are a threat to Israel. And if Lieberman keeps flapping his pathetic mouth, they'll be even more of a threat.
Perhaps Israel has earned such a threat. Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine is the primary fuel being thrown on the Terrorism fire. Without Israeli aggression in the Holy Land, there would never have been an attack on New York on 9/11....

The Lieberman Factor. He is a traitor not only to his political party, but to his country as well. One doesn't necessarily have to be a card carrying member of the PNAC/AIPAC to be affiliated with those traitorous organizations. One simply has to take their money and do their business.

During the 2000 election, Lieberman received $86,000 from Pro-Israel PAC contributors towards his Senate re-election campaign, (See, Janet McMahon, WRMEA, Oct/Nov. 2000 issue). What effect did that financial contribution, and others like it, have on his voting record and on his hidden political agenda?

Pathetic Little Man

Lieberman's Fuck America and Serve Israel attitude is more than evident in his advisory roles with these pro-Zionist organizations:
“The Peres Center for Peace” at Tel Aviv; “Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies” at Bar-Ilan University, and the “Natural History Museum,” located in Jerusalem.

Joe Lieberman is the classic Zionist whore. Willing to sell his ass, and yours, to put Israel's best interests before those of America and her people. This quote by Ariel Sharon tells us much...

On another disturbing front, Israel Radio (Kol Yisrael), reported on Oct. 3, 2001, that Israel's Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, had boasted at a Cabinet meeting, "I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."

Was Sharon talking about Lieberman? Probably. Not that Lieberman is the only one. We're certain he meant the PNAC/AIPAC Zionists and their sympathizers. And he may be right, just look at the positions Zionists have held in our government....
PNAC members in prominent government positions:

Dick Cheney Vice President
Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense
Douglas J. Feith (former) Undersecretary of Defense
I. Lewis Libby Vice President Cheney’s former Chief of Staff and Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs.
Aaron Friedberg Vice President Cheney’s deputy National Security advisor
Robert Zoelick US Deputy Secretary of State
Paula Dobriansky Undersecretary of State
Elliott Abrams Deputy National Security Adviser
Frank Gaffney Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Fred C. Ikle Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Eliot A. Cohen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Henry S. Rowen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
William J. Bennett Presidential speech writer
Jeb Bush Governor of Florida
Paul Wolfowitz World Bank President
John Bolton Ambassador to the U.N.
Zalmay Khalilzad U.S. ambassador to Iraq

You can reference the previous posts in this series to connect the dots.

Yes, Joe Lieberman is one of them. PNAC, AIPAC,...whatever. He, like all Zionists in our government, is putting the best interests of another country before his own. That is treason, and America has put up with it long enough.
There's no reason American military personnel should be fighting a fight the IDF is too scared to take up.

Israel makes no effort toward peace in that region and therefore, simply isn't worth our sacrifice.

Well, Scooter Libby can whine and shift blame all he wants, a meeting with Bubba seems inevitable.

One of the primary PNAC Traitors is going to Prison. Hopefully, he'll be only one of many to find their way to the big house.
Of course, the Republican filth that support treason are lining up behind him and trying to impede justice. It thus stands to reason that one of the filthiest, most vile vermin in American political history would be spearheading the Libby excuse machine...
The child abuser, Mel Sembler....

Traitor

Raper of Youth

Yep, Mel Sembler. The lowest of the low and filthiest of the filthy.
Under the guise of combating drug abuse in young people, Sembler started the "SEED" Program. His own personal version of Abu Gharib for kids.

Young people who were forced into the Child Abuse Ring in Disguise have been tormented in every possible way.
The viciousness of this atmosphere of torment has resulted in over 40 suicides. Kids were beaten, raped and some came close to death.
Sembler is the CEO of Sembler Co., and was the co-founder of the Drug Free America Foundation (formerly Straight, Inc.) which is now headed by his whore, Betty Sembler.

Mel Sembler is also the soon to be removed US Ambassador to Italy. As well as RNC (Republican National Committee) big shot.

This filthy child abuser and his disgusting wife have scarred children beyond repair in America and have seemingly been accused of being a pedophiles in other nations.

So, this is what's defending Libby? That tells you right there that Libby is the trash that we all know he is. Sembler should meet with a similar fate. Or worse if there's any justice left in this world.

This PNAC: Know Your Traitors series was well timed.

Paul Wolfowitz, disgraced former World Bank President and Original PNAC Iraq War Signatory is gone and now President Moron is nominating a new crony,

Meet Paul Wolfowitz Jr...aka PNAC Zionist Pig Robert Zoellick.

Same Shit, Different Face

For those of you who are relatively new to the PNAC...do you see a pattern forming? Gotta have those PNAC guys in the World Bank for some reason. After all, PNAC zealots are masters of organized corruption. That's the prerequisite, Wolfie got caught, we need someone just as dirty as a suitable replacement. A carbon copy if you will.

My God, BushCo doesn't even try and hide their agenda anymore. They've lost it.

Robert Zoellick is not only a Neo-Con traitor and all those other foul things PNAC types are, but this clown was on the Enron Advisory Board.
Fucking Enron??!!?

George W. Bush truly is the single dumbest humanoid on the planet. Enron goes to trial, Skilling's doing large time in prison, Ken Lay croaks because he's looking at so much time, honest stockholders are out billions...and we're going to nominate one of Enron's advisers to head the World bank?

Somebody wake me up and tell me this is all a bad dream. Surely reality cannot be this stupid. Surely...

PNAC, people. Think PNAC.

They are called the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC.
They are traitors to this country.
The PNAC consists of numerous individuals, both Republican and Democrat, that use their power to work for the best interests of Israel. When one is an American citizen or official and puts the best interests of another government before those of their own nation, one is a Traitor.

The PNAC big shots are the one's who fabricated the evidence against Saddam (WMD, yellow cake from Niger), fabricated intelligence of many kinds, all in an effort to destabilize the middle east and attempt to bring about the forcible taming of Israels enemies.

It Backfired.

These idiots assumed Coalition Forces would have no trouble wiping up Iraq and setting up an Israel friendly, puppet government. Instead, as we at TN420 and many others predicted long ago, Iraq has fallen into the hands of the Islamofascist entities that Saddam protected it against.
Welcome to West Iran and Islamic Fundamentalist Law.

Now, due to this miserable failure of intellect on behalf of the PNAC signatories, Israel not only has a new neighbor, they now have a threat unlike any they've ever imagined right next door. A soon to be Mega-Islamist state.
The PNAC domination of the Bush administration by no means absolves George Bush of his share of the guilt, but let's face it, he can't put two sentences together without slobbering on himself. He couldn't come up with such a plan or even contribute to it.

There are many excuses for the illegal invasion of Iraq, the "Israel First" interest is just the primary one.

In part one of this blog entry you will find information that is nothing new, but may be new to you.
If you care anything at all about this great nation and it's people, endeavor to absorb this critical information and KNOW YOUR TRAITORS. The PNAC, it's die-hard members, and all those who support them are the greatest threat to you and your children you will ever know.

There is even circumstantial evidence that certain members of the PNAC were involved in the planing and execution of the attacks on NYC on 9/11. We don't support conspiracy theories as a rule, but this is worth some attention. These people are evil enough to do it.

The PNAC has lied to the American people, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and sacrificed the lives of our troops in a war that never should have happened.

They must pay....

As you read these names and hopefully view the bios, the veritable web of deceit and rabid Conservative idealism will become more and more clear. The danger more and more evident.
You will find familiar names like Paul Wolfowitz, Scooter Libby, William Kristol, William F. Buckley, Jeb Bush and the King of Traitors, Dick Cheney. But we must also pay attention to the not-so-familiar names who are every bit as dangerous to freedom as the big shots.

Please review all links provided as they will assist you in understanding the gravity of what these criminals have done to this country and our people.

Part 2 to follow....

UPDATE:

Bush taps Robert Zoellick to head World Bank.
Yep, Robert Zoellick. ANOTHER PNAC TRAITOR.

See any pattern there, people???

It's difficult to do anything other than laugh in frustration. It's not really funny of course, when you have a Right Wing Jesus Pimp for a Congressman your district is going to suffer. And when it's not suffering from the Social Conservative Ideology, it will be suffering from the lack of vision of it proponents...

We direct you to this poorly developed article from TriCities.com which tells us how Right Wing Representative Davis has used his status to secure a grant for the district...
...For the fucking airport....

Congressman David Davis Announces $453,910 Grant to Tri-Cities Regional Airport

Congressman David Davis announced today a Federal Aviation Administration grant of $453,910 to Tri-Cities Regional Airport to construct a parallel taxiway.

"Tri-Cities Regional Airport is known for its service and desire to stay on the cutting edge of technology," Congressman David Davis said. "This grant will take the first step toward TCRA being able to better serve its customers.
This grant will purchase a portion of the property necessary to construct the taxiway at TCRA."

Now, with the trouble our schools are having, the poverty in the area, the filthy air we're breathing, etc... one would think Davis would bring forth a grant that actually means something.
An elementary education grant would be nice. Maybe a grant to help the corporate polluters he likes to suck up to meet environmental clean air standards. Hey! How 'bout some lower gas prices!? Higher minimum wage???

"Cutting edge of technology"???? How much "cutting edge tech" will 400K buy for an airport? Another parking lot? You can't even build a new terminal for that kind of chump change.

A "taxiway"....now that's spending money wisely, a 400k strip of asphalt with a line painted on it. "Cutting Edge Technology"! WOW! That's exciting. Way to go David. I can feel the love already.
I guess this makes up for the vote to keep our troops dying in Iraq and keep our veterans languishing with third rate health care? Nothing like a priority-minded congressman.

It's too bad that this foolish man spends his energy trying to subvert the US Constitution instead of doing something productive for his district. But hey, that's what Republican leadership gets you.

Get a life, Davis. You're not a leader, you do not represent the majority of the people in TN-1, and you will not be a Congressman for long. Not if genuine, God-respecting Americans have anything to say about it.

Let's face it, we knew we had far too many cowards in the party. We didn't really know just how cowardly they could be until now. At least it's clear to us, at least we have finally defined the enemy within. Essential to being able to remove them in '08.

All of them are up for reelection. All of them must go if we're ever going to put this nation back on top...

With Republicans as weakened as ever, we actually have a chance to finally rid the Democratic Party of it's "Blue Dog", DLC type chaff.

Here's a quick list of the Repig enablers courtesy of Democrats.com

On 5/16/07, the Senate voted on the Feingold-Reid Amendment to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq by March 30, 2008. The Amendment was defeated 67-29.

ALL Republicans voted to keep U.S. troops in Iraq. 29 Democrats voted to bring our troops home, but 20 did not: Max Baucus (MT), Evan Bayh (IN), Jeff Bingaman (NM), Tom Carper (DE), Bob Casey (PA), Kent Conrad (ND), Byron Dorgan (ND), Mary Landrieu (LA), Carl Levin (MI), Blanche Lincoln (AR), Claire McCaskill (MO), Bill Nelson (FL), Ben Nelson (NE), Mark Pryor (AR), Jack Reed (RI), Jay Rockefeller (WV), Ken Salazar (CO), John Tester (MT), James Webb (VA).

On 5/10/07, the House of Representatives voted on the McGovern Amendment to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq within 180 days. The Amendment was defeated 255-171.

ALL Republicans voted to keep U.S. troops in Iraq except Ron Paul (TX) and John Duncan (TN). 169 Democrats voted to bring our troops home, but 59 did not: Jason Altmire (PA), John Barrow (GA), Melissa Bean (IL), Shelley Berkley (NV), Howard Berman (CA), Sanford Bishop (GA), Dan Boren (OK), Leonard Boswell (IA), Rick Boucher (VA), Allen Boyd (FL), Nancy Boyda -KS), Dennis Cardoza (CA), Chris Carney (PA), Ben Chandler (KY), Jim Cooper (TN), Jim Costa (CA), Bud Cramer (AL), Henry Cuellar (TX), Lincoln Davis (TN), Joe Donnelly (IN), Chet Edwards (TX), Bob Etheridge (NC), Brad Ellsworth (IN), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ), Bart Gordon (TN), Gene Green (TX), Stephanie Herseth (SD), Baron Hill (IN), Tim Holden (PA), Steny Hoyer (MD), Ron Kind (WI), Nick Lampson (TX), Daniel Lipinski (IL), Tim Mahoney (FL), Jim Marshall (GA), Jim Matheson (UT), Mike McIntyre(NC), Jerry McNerney (CA), Charlie Melancon (LA), Harry Mitchell (AZ), Dennis Moore (KS), Solomon Ortiz (TX), Collin Peterson (MN), Earl Pomeroy (ND), Ciro Rodriguez (TX), Mike Ross (AR), Dutch Ruppersberger (MD), John Salazar (CO), Allyson Schwartz (PA), David Scott (GA), Heath Shuler (NC), Ike Skelton (MO), Vic Snyder (AR), Zack Space (OH), John Spratt (SC), John Tanner (TN), Gene Taylor (MS), Mark Udall (CO), Charles Wilson (OH).

Cooper, Davis, Tanner and Gordon. These are the Bush Democrats of Tennessee. They must all be replaced by more progressive candidates. Don't withhold your votes from Democrats, that will accomplish nothing. Nor will voting third party.
The Democratic Party is the only Party with the power to defeat Republicans. Our objective is to clean this party up. '08 is a perfect opportunity to do so.
Imagine...Republican John Duncan proves to be a better representative of the people than the Four Stooges mentioned above. That's backwards, and our soldiers and their families cannot afford "backwards" any longer.

This fight is not over yet. We at TN420 feel a renewed motivation to work even harder to replace Bush Democrats with real ones and stomp the shit out of the Repigs at the same time.

Cowards of the Democratic Party, your ass is meat and we're the grinder.

So, why are we, as a nation, too stupid to take advantage of it? Or even have the discussion for that matter.....

It's called Hemp Biomass Technology. It's here, it's legal, it's the solution to many of our energy problems.

Pyrolysis is the science of heating organic matter (lignocellulosic materials) without air, or in low air to make charcoal, condensable organic fluids (pyrolytic fuel oil), non-condensable gasses, acetic acid, methanol or acetone. The system can be manipulated so as to be charcoal, methanol, pyrolytic oil or gasoline friendly. At 95.5% fuel-to-feed efficiency, it uses the same technology now used to process crude fossil fuel oil and coal.
Pyrolytic oil is similar in nature to number 2 and number 6 oil and is easily transported. Pyrolysis coal has almost the same heating value, in BTU, as coal with virtually no sulfites.

HEMP FOR FUEL

Hemp oil is so versatile that it can be used instead of diesel fuel or you can fry tempura in it. Before petroleum and electric lightbulbs, lamps burning hemp seed oil illuminated homes around the world. One ha of seed hemp produces about 1000-1500 litres of hemp oil plus several thousand kg of cellulose-rich fibre. One ha of fibre hemp produces about 8000-11000 kg of dry biomass.

As a renewable resource from living plants hemp does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. The growing plants absorb as much CO2 as will later be released when oil or other plant matter is burnt. Unlike fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) or nuclear fuels hemp could supply us with raw materials for thousands of years, without ever changing our climate and without producing waste that remains radioactive for millions of years.

Now, why in God's name would any society in it's right mind pass such a gift by? Stupidity? Probably not but it's a close assessment. I think it's more corporate greed than anything else. Hemp is a very difficult industry to regulate. Let's face it, Marijuana would be legal medicine if Big Pharma could keep you from growing it in your closet.

Corn Ethanol? Corn is for eating. Hemp is a miracle and should be treated as one. God's gift to mankind.
Only the incredibly greedy or incredibly stupid would fail to implement this natural solution to an unnatural problem.

If you plan on contacting your representatives about the insane fuel situation in this country, if you don't demand they support Hemp Biofuel, you're not doing your job as a concerned American.

Hemp is the way.

Do the Queers win? No, they will face bigotry as usual even with Falwell gone. Will the Teletubbies win? No, they're still ridiculous. Will Atheists win? No, God still exists...

The declared winner is!.......

Jesus. Jesus wins.

Jerry Falwell has never preached the true Gospel of Christ. He has always been a confused, intellectually challenged, red-faced screaming blowhard that never possessed the skills, or the desire for that matter, to discern the literal from the parable in scripture. This lack of fundamental knowledge has led many a well meaning worshiper astray and confused them as to the truth of the word Jesus brought.

Jesus said Love or Perish not Divide and Conquer.

Dead and Bloated

Jesus never mentioned Queers. Not once. Jesus never said hire an assassin to try and kill Larry Flynt and Alan Rickman (it can't be proven, but many of us know).
Jesus never said it was okay to drag His Holy Name through the political filth and He never said it was okay to live like a king, stuffing your gluttonous face while others starve.

Fact is, Jerry Falwell had no clue who Jesus was or what he meant when He said that salvation was for all mankind once the Jews rejected it. He couldn't even comprehend that the Bible clearly teaches us that "Adam & Eve"..."Adam & Steve"...whatever, were not the first people on earth.
Falwell chased away those "sinners" that Christ ordered the faithful to seek out and convert by projecting an example of Love, Generosity, and acceptance.

The reality is that the "Rapturing" of Falwell is the best thing to happen to Christianity and the name of Jesus in a long, long time. Perhaps when the likes of Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Ron Parsley, Benny Hinn, Fred Phelps and the rest of the 'gimmie your money and trust me' clan join Falwell where all lying preachers go, Jesus can begin to regain His reputation as the Prince of Peace and King of Love.

Of course, there are and will be more Falwells to slander the word of life. But they will always get theirs in the end.

at the half,

By now most have heard that some fucking moron faculty members at a Murfreesboro Elementary school "staged" a fake School Shooter rampage on their own students. Trouble is, they didn't warn anyone.
FUCKING IDIOTS!

This was terrorism. Plain and simple.
Those kids were genuinely terrified/terrorized and that is all it takes to make a bad joke terrorism. These stupid fucks are teachers?! How does anyone get a job teaching with such abysmal better judgment?!

These fucking low-life scumbag idiots should not only be fired but they should be jailed too. There is no excuse for such a cruel and sadistic prank, especially coming from those in a position of trust.
In just a short time after the VT rampage, this was a very, very bad idea. A child could have panicked and hurt them self badly.
This is just another reason that Tennessee education is the laughing stock of the nation. Where do we get these fucking goons from??!!!

Fire them. Fire them all and forbid them to ever teach in the public school system again.

Here's the whole article from the Tennessean...

Teachers' phony attack upsets Murfreesboro students, parents
Prank during trip had 6th-graders taking cover

By NATALIA MIELCZAREK
Staff Writer

MURFREESBORO — Parents of students at a Murfreesboro elementary school are outraged that teachers and an assistant principal staged a phony gun attack on their children, telling them repeatedly it was not a drill, while the children cried and took shelter under tables.

Sixty-nine sixth-grade students from Scales Elementary school were on a weeklong trip at Fall Creek Falls, a state park about 130 miles southeast of Nashville. On Thursday, the last night of the outing, the staff played a prank on the kids, convincing them there was a gunman on the loose.

A teacher wearing a hooded sweatshirt pulled on a locked door, pretending to be a suspicious subject in the area.

The students were told to lie on the floor or crawl underneath tables and keep quiet. The lights went out, and about 20 kids started to cry, 11-year-old Shay Naylor said. Some held hands and shook.

"I was like, 'Oh my God,' " Shay said Saturday afternoon as she recounted the incident. "At first I thought I was going to die. We flipped out. (A teacher) told us, 'We just got a call that there's been a random shooting.' I was freaked out. I thought it was serious."

Some parents said Saturday they were outraged, especially in light of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech that left 33 students and professors dead, including the gunman.

Scales Elementary Principal Catherine Stephens held a meeting Saturday afternoon at the school to discuss the matter with a handful of concerned parents who contacted school officials Friday night.

She said she was saddened by the situation and that the school was handling it, though she declined to elaborate on whether the teachers involved would face disciplinary action.

'Poor judgment' blamed

Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led the trip, said the entire scenario lasted about five minutes, after which the teachers gathered the students and explained it was a prank.

"We got together and discussed what we would have done in a real situation," he said.

Several parents said they were troubled by the staff's poor judgment.

"The children were in that room in the dark, begging for their lives, because they thought there was someone with a gun after them," said Brandy Cole, whose son went on the trip.

"This was not a good experience," said Alisha Graves, whose son attended. "Those kids were crying, and they were terrified."

Brandy Cole said she found out about the incident shortly after her son returned home from the trip Friday afternoon.

"I was shocked," said Cole, whose husband, Jimmy, immediately sent an e-mail requesting a meeting with Bartch.

Barbara Corbetta, whose child also went to Fall Creek Falls with the group, said she spoke to several different parents and kept hearing the same details — kids on the floor crying and begging for their lives.

"The circumstance that occurred involved poor judgment," Stephens said. "My hope is that we can learn from this, and in the end, it will have a positive result of growth for all of us."

Shay and her mother, Niki Morris, said they forgave the teachers and wanted to move on. It "went too far because it was too gruesome," Shay said. "You'd think a teacher wouldn't do it, but they did. But they're great teachers. If (the assistant principal) loses his job, I will break into tears. He's the best assistant principal I've ever had."

Kathryn Sherrod, a Midstate psychologist who works with children, said she can see how kids could be traumatized by this, especially in light of the Virginia Tech shootings.

"That's too close to real," she said. "It's important for teachers and school administrators to realize they have a degree of trust with children. When you play a prank of that nature, you run the risk of losing that trust."

FUCKING IDIOTS!

The annual volunteer cleanup at Boone Lake takes place soon. TN420 salutes all the fine people who join in this very intelligent, very Green activity....

Boone, Holston, Watauga Lake...If you've ever seen what Florida looks like since they decided to pave the whole fucking state and build corporate high-rises overlooking the lakes and glades, you'll know just how lucky we are in NE Tennessee to have TVA and the pristine environment and largely unadulterated National Parks they maintain.

South Holston Lake, Bristol TN

It's beautiful on the lakes around here. It feels natural just to be out there.
The cleanup effort and all involved are a credit to these communities and we thank God for them.
Now, after hearing PSA's on the radio and TV about the cleanup effort, I noticed that there's always something missing. Something lacking in the narrative...

The jackasses that put the trash there in the first place.

Why don't we ever talk about these pigs? I realize, of course, that a certain amount of rubbish gets blown into the lakes by the wind. Not to mention a variety of other reasons. But let's face it, there's some real dirtbags recreating on our lakes, creeks, and rivers.

It's bad enough that us boaters pollute the waters with our engines (we have gone Four Stroke). We don't need to be throwing refuse of any kind in the water or the land. That's the actions of a lazy sack of shit who has no respect for the gift God gave us. I have personally witnessed some sick, twisted vermin dumping their toilets in the lake.

I suggest this summer that we assist those fine people with their cleanup effort by beating the shit out of anyone you catch littering on or near our lakes.
It's no effort to take a trash bag and put your fucking Coke cans and Fried Pie wrappers where they belong. If you have to take a dump, go in the bag or pull up to a marina you fucking shit machine. They all have bathrooms!

There's no excuse. None whatsoever.
TN420 declares "Smack Down Summer" on the litterpigs that foul our beautiful state parks. Litter at your own risk, because we encourage everyone who loves the lakes to participate.

So, Litterpigs, for all you do, this blog's for you.

Don't turn back into the jelly-spined pussies you were before the Left took you over.

You had no backbone whatsoever. You looked like fools wallowing in the Disgrace that was Bill Clinton and that's the reason you had to be saved by the Left-leaning side of the party. With the guidance of Liberal organizations like MoveOn, and the support of great Americans like George Soros the DNC under the great Howard Dean has climbed out of the hole the Centrists dug for the party and we now have our collective foot on the neck of the GOP/PNAC and we need to snap that neck and finish this. That's major league progress in a relatively short period of time.

Don't fuck this up.

The American people told you what they wanted, and thus far you've done an outstanding job of trying to meet your obligations and achieved much success. Thus far.
You won in '06 overwhelmingly and the majority made it clear that our presence in Iraq must end. There is no more room for "compromise". This President doesn't deserve the respect one would give the average dog. He cares only about trying in vain to salvage his legacy of evil, bumbling idiocy.

As my fellow, R.Neal at KnoxViews teaches us, George W. Bush cares no more for a soldier than he does for an insurgent. To Bush, a soldier is a person that has the kind of guts he can only ever dream of having. That's probably where a lot of his hatred for them comes from.
Everyone should save this list compiled by Mr. Neal. It tells the whole story.

President "Support the Troops" Bush has today cut off funding for U.S. defense and homeland security, betraying the trust of U.S. troops fighting his war of choice in Iraq and the American people he swore an oath to defend.

Today, Bush denied:

• $20,594,672,000 in funding for the U.S. Army and reserves

• $7,891,201,000 in funding for the U.S. Air Force and reserves

• $5,974,169,000 in funding for the U.S. Navy and reserves

• $2,648,081,000 in funding for the U.S. Marine Corps and reserves

• $82,462,000 in funding for the U.S. Air National Guard

• $628,855,000 in funding for the U.S. Army National Guard

• $2,714,487,000 in other defense operational and maintenance funding

• $5,906,400,000 in funding for the Afghanistan Security Forces

• $2,432,800,000 in funding for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund

• $2,000,000,000 in funding for repair and replacement of homeland National Guard equipment

• $71,726,000 in intelligence funding

• $115,000,000 in funding for container and supply chain security

• $970,000,000 in funding for air travel security, including checked baggage explosive detection systems

• $8,000,000 in funding for Federal Air Marshals

• $190,000,000 in funding for port security

• $325,000,000 for passenger rail security

• $3,251,853,000 in funding for veteran's health care, including treatment of post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury

• $466,778,000 in funding for VA trauma centers, prosthetics, rehabilitation for the blind, and mental health treatment

• $595,000,000 in funding for upgrading VA hospitals and medical centers

• $32,500,000 in funding for prosthetic research for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans

Those are the facts. President Bush does not support the troops, and wishes to leave them in Iraq indefinitely -- extension of tour after extension of tour, stop loss order after stop loss order -- without adequate protection, equipment, supplies, or medical care.

-- R.Neal

This has got to stop and you, the Democratic Leaders simply cannot afford to back down now. We who have supported you cannot afford it, and you can be damn sure our soldiers and their families cannot afford it.

We're warning you, Democrats Elect. Do not cower in the face of this evil that is the Neo-Con horde. Don't give that Pig one more inch. Walk out and shut it down first.
Lead, goddamnit. Lead!

It's often amazed me how Republicans can stand and moralize with straight faces, big smiles, and a thoroughly rehearsed and scripted sanctimonium unseen since the days of Adolph Hitler. All the while pretending we don't watch every move they make, past, present, and future...

They're the single most depraved humanoids in American culture. The Republican Presidential Candidates.
One of the most depraved is, of course, "America's Mare" Rudy Giuliani.

But, Lord. I don't feel like a hypocrite.

We actually are surprised by the sheer gall of this waste of air. How can one even consider running for President of the United States knowing that the filthy and vile things they've done will be offered to the general public for scrutiny? Amazing. It seems depraved people feel better about themselves when they can convince themselves that everyone else is just as twisted as they are. It's a denial thing I guess.

Ah yes. Rudy Giuliani; the Cousin fucking, incestuous pig.
Forever moralizing and pretending to be the all-American guy.
Giuliani's first marriage was to his childhood flame, and 2nd Cousin Regina Peruggi. They were married from 1969 to 1982. The marriage was annulled allegedly because Giuliani "thought they were third cousins" and found out later that they were in an incestuous relationship. Yeah, right. It took thirteen years? Please.
He met a beautiful actress named Donna Hanover and dumped his inter-lineage wife. It was Hanover that eventually got the bumbling Rudy elected mayor of NY.

Though this disgusting incest may be the most depraved thing Rudy has done(that we know of), it's by no means the only depraved thing Giuliani specializes in.

Here is Giuliani recently politicizing the September 11th tragedy...

"If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001... Never ever again will this country ever be on defense waiting for (terrorists) to attack us if I have anything to say about it. And make no mistake, the Democrats want to put us back on defense!"

Yep, even dragging the fallen Americans of the 9/11 attacks through the political mire isn't too low for Rudy to stoop. Never mind that he spent a majority of his time, after he paraded himself through the streets, hiding in fear of more attacks.
Of course, the real issue about America's Mare and his performance on 9/11 surrounds his performance, or lack thereof, before the attacks. Former Colorado Senator, Presidential candidate, and co-chair, U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, Gary Hart explains in his personal letter to Rudy himself...

Gary Hart Sat Apr 28, 1:41 PM ET

Dear Mayor Giuliani:

Since you have based your presidential campaign almost exclusively on your reaction to terrorist attacks on New York City, and since you have recently accused Democrats of being on the defense against terrorism and therefore guilty of inviting more casualties, I have one question for you: Where were you on terrorism between January 31, 2001, and September 11th?

The first date was when the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century issued its final report warning, as did its previous reports, of the danger of terrorist attacks on America. The George W. Bush administration did nothing about these warnings and we lost 3,000 American lives. What did you do during those critical eight months? Where were you? Were you on the defensive, or were you even paying attention?

Before you qualify to criticize Democrats, Mr. Giuliani, you must account for your preparation of your city for these clearly predicted attacks. Tell us, please, what steps you took to make your city safer.

Until you do, then I strongly suggest you should keep your mouth shut about Democrats and terrorism.

You have not qualified to criticize others, let alone be president of the United States.

Gary Hart
(co-chair, U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century)

P.S. You might ask these same questions of George W. Bush while you are trying to find a better reason to run for president.

Ouch! LOL. Talk about being punked.
Mr. Hart nailed it. Rudy Giuliani is just like Bush and the rest of the Republican idiots, he doesn't know what it means to be prepared. Do we really need another President who fails before he starts? Even boy scouts are more responsible than this.

Now, there's much more in Giuliani's own dossier about his many and serious short comings.
Much of the hype about his "performance" during 9/11 is just that. Hype.
We suggest exploring just what kind of Mayor Rudy has been for New York. To quote a lot of NYC Firefighters...

"The disrespect that he exhibited to our 343 fallen FDNY brothers, their families and our New York City IAFF leadership in the wake of that tragic day has not been forgiven or forgotten."

And it's not just the first responders that have a problem with Rudy, it seems like most New Yorkers do too...

On 9/11 here's the real Rudy narrative.
In 1993 the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists. The FBI offered specific recommendations to counter terrorism and save lives in case the WTC was attacked again. Giuliani ignored these recommendations and many lives that would have been saved on 9/11 were lost because of Giuliani's incompetence. Giuliani's main failures were failing to coordinate police and fire promptly on 9/11, putting a command center in Building 7 when the FBI said no, and stiffing the firefighters of radio equipment because of a personal grudge with the union. These failures led to a higher death toll.

After 9/11 Giuliani and his buddy Bernard Kerik tried to profit from the tragedy. Giuliani tried to steal funds meant for widows, expand his tenure as mayor beyond his term, while Bernie was banging Judith I hate Jews Regan in an apartment near Ground Zero paid for by taxpayers. Giuliani also had the chutzpah to stop a rescue and recover effort of several dozen bodies of firefighters because of his stinginess and incompentence.

After 9/11 Giuliani showed little interest in capturing the perpetrators. Instead Giuliani was a cheerleader for Bush's policies of ignore Bin Laden and invade Iraq. This is why New York City hates Rudy.

Well, that about sums it up. Rudy Giuliani is like every other Republican candidate. More concerned about himself than you or me.

I just thank God I'm not his cousin.

This is what the Republican Party is all about. Sheer stupidity. This is why I suspect that McCain will be embraced over Thompson, Romney, Giulianni (or however the fuck you spell it), and any other Repig hopeful.
McCain best represents the stupidity, depravity, and overall treachery of the average Republican.

"Please, I was talking to some of my old veterans friends. My response is, Lighten up and get a life."
— John McCain, quoted by the Associated Press in a reponse to criticism of his recent "Bomb Iran" singing/joke.

Yep. The Repig Party trying to move from one incompetent idiot to another. The last thing this country needs is yet another Republican that is poised to continue the PNAC agenda of destabilizing the Middle East for the benefit of Israel, Major Corporations, and Fascists everywhere.

But we knew this! Of course we did. Global immorality, reckless abandon, death of the innocent...that's the Republican Agenda in a nutshell.
Who better than a kiss-ass idiot like McCain to be the next puppet?

Pea-ons in a pod

So, McCain was "just talking to veteran friends" was he?
Let's see what some veterans really think about McCain...

John McCain Is No "Hero POW"
He seriously violated the Military Code of Conduct by trading "military information" and making public statements that appeared favorable to the communist war effort in exchange for "special treatment."

John McCain the second-term Republican senator from Arizona and former Navy pilot captured and held prisoner during the Vietnam War, is a fraud, collaborator, and danger to the security of the United States because he is being black-mailed by the COMMUNIST Vietnamese. He is a phony--a "rhinestone hero."

Another bill gutted in 1996

And then there is the Missing Service Personnel Act, which McCain succeeded in gutting in 1996. A year before, the act had been strengthened, with bipartisan support, to compel the Pentagon to deploy more resources with greater speed to locate and rescue missing men. The measure imposed strict reporting requirements

.

How many "Veteran Friends" do you really have, John?

RAW STORY spoke last week with Kiley, as well as Ted Sampley, a North Carolina-based publisher who has been harshly criticizing McCain for more than 10 years. Sampley teamed up with Kiley in 2004 to found a similar group that targeted Senator John Kerry as he ran for president. They see McCain as an apologist for Vietnam's Communist government who sold out fellow POWs and servicemen missing in action from America's lengthy war in Southeast Asia.

Of course, there's the Forrestal and Oriskany disasters where McCain also performed in a questionable manner...

During the fighting of the fire and while VF-74 and VF-11 were still counting their dead, McCain was helicoptered off the Forrestal to the USS Oriskany, which suffered a major fire on October 27, 1966, that killed 44 sailors. In that event, thousand pound bombs were jettisoned away from the fire but the lessons of the Oriskany went unheeded by the Forrestal's officers, including McCain, who served with the VA-163 Saints on board the Oriskany when the fire on that vessel occurred. On October 26, 1967, McCain was shot down over North Vietnam during a bombing sortie from the Oriskany.

Now aside from all this veteran stuff, we have one of the finest examples of pure, unadulterated dishonesty and Conservative political greed. The Keating 5.

Charles (the anti-Christ) Keating along with four of the most corrupt Democrats in history, including the PNAC traitor, Dennis DeConcini, were enthusiastically joined by John McCain in ripping off a large number of retirees of their pensions.
Our captainkona's own father was a victim of this reprehensible theft. Many elderly retirees lost everything they had ever worked for and John McCain had no problem being a part of this disgusting, immoral activity.

What does this McCain review tell us? Several things...

1) McCain may be a traitor.

2) McCain is a crook and a wholly dishonest man.

3) McCain is a hap-hazard klutz that disaster follows around like a puppy follows it's owner.

We've had enough disaster when it comes to Presidents.
We've had enough lies and double speak. We've had enough humiliation and most of all, we've had enough unnecessary loss of life.

Trouble is, like Bush, McCain has only failure, deceit and bungling ignorance to offer America and the world.
He is the quintessential Republican candidate.

Nothing has changed. The Republicans are still bottom-feeders willing to sacrifice honor, dignity and the lives of brave people for a tax cut and a copy of the Ten Commandments.

McCain/Lieberman in '08?

There ya go, Repigs. The perfect pairing. Two piglets bending over and inviting you to thrust in your collective minuscule manhood so they can be your bitches and promote your Satanic agenda.

What more could a Republican want?

Yeppers! We really have Chris Jackson scrambling for the delete button these days. Looks like The Ford Report has learned a lesson from their Right-Wing fellows in the fine art of deleting posts that don't tow the line. Make a statement against Ford and you're deleted....

Harold Ford, Chris Jackson, and their constant whirlwind of bullshit...Where does one begin?

Now Ford has decided to jump on the anti-Imus bandwagon and call Imus' racist remarks "reprehensible". Well no shit, Sherlock.
But that's not so much what motivated this post as the blatant Ford hypocrisy behind it. Ford has a problem with racist statements in the media? Do tell.

Harold Ford recently betrayed his country and his people by joining the root of all political propaganda evil, FOX News.
Interestingly enough, Ford seems to be rather content with the folks at FOX in spite of the fact that FOX and most of it's personalities are the single worst racists on the American airwaves.

Amongst Ford's friends and co-workers at FOX, we have the racist, Bill O'Reilly. The profoundly racist Ann Coulter. Racist Sean Hannity, and....Hell, FOX NEWS is racist in and of itself.

But Ford is concerned about Imus? I guess one shouldn't shit where they eat. Huh Jr.?
What a fucking hypocrite.

Now, we wouldn't have felt the need to blog about this here. We would have just referred you to the discussion at the Ford Report Blog. Trouble is, there is no discussion there. With the exception of Jackson and the make believe, pro-Ford posters he invents.

LWC and I have both had our posts removed on sight. So I took the liberty of retaining the deleted posts for your reference...

Examine this thread at Left Wing Cracker where I posted some of the deleted comments in anticipation of the Jackson Action.

Here also is a snapshot of the post I made at the Ford Report this very eve that was spirited away in about 60 seconds.
http://jkn.com/View?j=793742.382872476543

LOL!

Harold Ford Jr., Chris (action) Jackson, and The Ford Report all have much in common. They lie, cheat, steal (posts), and fall all over themselves trying to be opportunistic, yet they are absolutely miserable at it and seemingly make no effort to even hide the fact.

Perhaps Ford will one day realize that the Democratic Left is smarter than he is and all attempts to play us for fools will fail as miserably as his political career has.
I think he's getting the message already as is evident by the fact that he started this "common ground" thread at TPM and never even came back to face the questions posed to him. "Common Ground"? Unbelievable cowardice.

So go ahead, Action Jackson. Keep that finger on the delete button. You've already deleted your credibility (what little you ever had). Perhaps if you hit the button enough times you can delete Harold Ford Jr.
Nothing would allow you reclaim your blogging dignity quicker.
Dump the fuck! Use your blogging energy to support a candidate that's not second only to Bush on the double speak list.

"Reprehensible"? Imus isn't the only one.

Well, now the Moron In Chief is finally where he's been heading for years now, all by himself....

Not only has the Congress conceived a strong, common sense approach to fixing many of the BushCo blunders, they actually passed the legislation. Pissed President Bozo off of course, but then the Senate passed it too.
We're referring of course to H R 1591. The pro-military, pro peace resolution that our great speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi drafted along with a number of courageous Democrats who want to see the evil of the Bush administration undone and righted.
Those who want our troops well equipped and well cared for...

"If you vote against this, you're voting against the new armored vehicles which we need so badly," said Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa. "If you vote against this bill, you'll be denying the troops better equipment and better protection."

Our illustrious leader, Howard Dean, had this to say...

"The Democratic majority in the House and Senate stood with the American people. They passed a bill that would fund our troops and begin the process to bring them home.

President Bush's impending veto of the Iraq War supplemental bill is an insult to Congress, to the majority of Americans who voted for change in November, and to the brave men and women who risk their lives every day we remain in Iraq.

One thing is for certain: A Democratic president wouldn't veto that bill.

But that's not all that President Bush is doing. He's defending Alberto Gonzales for firing eight U.S. Attorneys, claiming he has "100 percent confidence in the Attorney General." And he's apologizing for the conditions of Walter Reed Medical Center six weeks after the conditions were exposed -- making promises to "fix the problem" that sound eerily similar to those he made to Hurricane Katrina victims.

The days of a do-nothing Congress are over, but the days of a do-nothing President are still going strong."

H R 1591 is one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation to emerge from congress in nearly two decades. It consists of the following...

1)The withdrawal of the majority of our troops from Iraq.

2)Mega-millions to provide the best possible armour, ammo, and other essential equipment to keep them safe.

3)Provide benchmarks for the Iraqi sudo-government to meet. This was so the bastards that Bush installed there can stand up and prove themselves viable leaders. Which is certainly not the case thus far.

There is also some of the best pork we've ever tasted.

4)Minimum wage hike.

5)Relief for Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans that still have not received the help Americans paid for.

6)Money to fund food safety at farm level. Due to the recent Salmonila and E-Coli outbreaks, that's not a bad idea (unless you're stupid).

All that good Americana in one piece of legislation. No wonder Republicans are against it.
But now to the main problem...
The American people have spoken. The Democrats in Congress heard them, were elected, and they delivered. The Democrats, with the exception of the traitors, in the Senate have heard and obeyed. Now the only one standing between our troops and their supplies is George W. Bush. And don't think for one second that a deserter like Bush really has the best interests of our service people in mind. He serves himself, his PNAC masters, and Saudi Oil. Nothing else.

So, will George Bush sign the death warrant for even more of our murdered soldiers? That's what a Veto in this case will amount to. A death warrant for our bravest citizens.

The treachery Bush has already committed against this country is unlike any we've ever seen. Now he threatens to stab this nation in the heart once again.

Impeach and jail them all.

It just keeps getting sicker with Davis, doesn't it? Now Davis continues his assault on the American way by voting against support for our soldiers...

David Davis, the disgusting Congressman from TN-1 has the single most miserable, un-American, anti-Christian voting record I've ever seen. Even worthless local politicians like Lamar Alexander and Davis' predecessor Bill Jenkins have done better than this.

U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Health, and Iraq Accountability Act - Vote Passed (218-212, 1 Present, 3 Not Voting)

The House passed this $124 million emergency supplemental bill that provides funds for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and sets a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

Rep. David Davis voted "NO"

In voting against The Troop Readiness Act, David Davis has:

1) Denied our troops the equipment they need to protect themselves.

2) Voted to keep our troops in the middle of trying to police a Civil War.

3) Voted against respectable treatment for our military veterans.

4) Voted against support for military families.

5) Voted to allow the Satanic Liars that started this war to escape responsibility....

Of course, Davis was simply voting against bringing our soldiers home. After all, his kids aren't there. If they were he'd be siding with those of us that want our soldiers home yesterday. David Davis' corporate brown-noser agenda will always be more important to him than the lives of the brave people that serve our country. That's your kids, not his.

Those of you who voted for this miserable excuse for a statesman have shamed North East Tennessee beyond belief.

What the fuck were you thinking?

We’ve written about this jerk several times in the recent past, but now Ford Jr. has crossed into a whole new realm of betrayal. This maggot truly is the two-faced, back-stabbing little weasel we said he was all along….

We told you Ford Jr. was not a real Democrat. We told you about his Right-Wing pandering as well as his deceit, and we told you he would lose to Corker in the Senate race.
Some believed what they saw about Ford, and some naive folk refused to open their eyes to the truth.

King George’s Fool

Wanna know just how good a Democrat Ford is?
Recently, the Democratic party collectively condemned and boycotted FOX Television by refusing to participate in a FOX televised debate due to two major factors:

1) FOX is not authentic news. They are Republican shills and nothing else. The single biggest disgrace in media.

2) Roger Ailes, President of FOX Bullshit News, stated the following racist remarks…

At a dinner sponsored by the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation, Mr. Ailes, in speaking after receiving a First Amendment Leadership Award, told a series of jokes. The one that made its way around the Internet today, and ratcheted up the pressure on Democrats to dump Fox from the debate was this:

“And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don’t know if it’s true that President Bush called Musharraf and said, ‘Why can’t we catch this guy?’

So, the Democratic party, in a rare but beautiful display of solidarity told FOX and the Pig, Roger Ailes, to get fucked.
Now what does Harold Ford Jr. do? He not only fails to condemn Roger Ailes and FOX for the pathetic, racist attempt to compare Barack Obama to a terrorist, he actually joins forces with FOX.

That’s right! Harold Ford Jr. is finally at home. Finally where he belongs and has always belonged. Wallowing in the filth with Hannity, Coulter, O’Riley and the rest of the scumbag traitors at FOX News.
I’m sure Ann Coulter is happy…
ANN COULTER: “Harold Ford is one of my favorite Democrats..” (Kudlow & Co.)

Ford Jr. should fit right in with the rest of the FOX vermin quite nicely. He’s just like them. He’ll say and do anything to further himself and will never lift a finger to help his country or his people. He will shamelessly lie and mislead all who make the mistake of lending an ear.

Harold Ford Jr. is a backstabbing traitor to his party. Though there may be some who are lacking in character enough, or stupid enough, to continue to support Harold Ford, we’re pretty sure that a vast majority of Tennessee Democrats will finally open their eyes and see Ford Jr. for what he really is…

One of THEM.

You've got to be kidding me. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been at Gitmo for four years and now he confesses?

We don't give a fuck for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed beyond his humanity, but this just reeks of Bush Administration Bullshit.
We could be wrong of course, but asking questions is healthy so let's ask some. Shall we?

This Article from Canada.com is one of the first published so we'll use it.

First of all, look at this schmuck.
Schmuck

This guy couldn't mastermind a trip to the grocery store.

How did this one guy "mastermind" the 9/11 attacks "A to Z". Why did he say "A to Z"? As if to intentionally absolve others (Osama, the one that got away) of involvement. Is Khalid the fall guy for Bush's failure to find Bin Laden? I thought they said "Bin Laden masterminded the 9/11 attacks"...Hmmm
Could be that Khalid has been the intended
"fall guy" for some time.
Here's Dick Cheney stating emphatically that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is in fact the "mastermind" back in 2004. Three years before these "secret" hearings.
The Bush Admin does have a thing about fall guys...

From the article:

"Hearings for six of the 14 have already been held. The military is not allowing reporters to attend the sessions and is limiting the information it provides about them, arguing it wants to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed".

There's something about "secret" anything that moves my bullshitometer to red-line by default when the Bush Administration is involved. Closed hearing + Bush Admin = Sham.

"Mohammed’s confession was read by a member of the U.S. military who is serving as his personal representative and it also claimed he shared responsibility for three other attacks, including assassination attempts against the late pope John Paul II and Musharraf."

What? No video of the actual confession. Didn't even read it himself? Hmmmmm
As we stated earlier, why, after four years of misery at Gitmo, does this clown confess now? When the bottom is falling out from underneath the BushCo regime at such an alarming rate? The story has bumped Gonzales from the #1 position on Google News. Wag that dog.

I can hear the "America is safer. We got the terrorist mastermind!" speech now.

Who knows, maybe ol' hairball is a genius and "masterminded" the whole thing.
Then again, maybe not.
Perhaps there's more to it than any of us will ever believe.

Well, we told you what would happen. You Right-Wing Republican fucking idiots.
Your "Cowardly Act" has been used in the Nazi-like fashion that John Asscroft and the Bush Administration originally intended....

Great men like Russ Feingold and Dennis Kucinich opposed the "Patriot Act" (aka the Cowardly Act since it displaced our freedom at the behest of Osama Bin Laden) for a reason, a very simple reason. As Senator Feingold so aptly put it "the report demonstrates that ‘trust us’ doesn’t cut it".

You Repiglikan monkeys called the left "traitors" for opposing the Patriot Act? Well, your own leaders are doing the big Flip-Flop now. Let's listen in....

"This is, regrettably, part of an ongoing process where the federal authorities are not really sensitive to privacy and go far beyond what we have authorized,"

-Arlen Specter R-Penn

And...

"How could this happen? Who is to be held accountable? And the answer to that is, I am to be held accountable".

- FBI Director Muller

That's right you stupid Repig fucks. This government has again lied, abused, and acted like the Brown-Shirted, Jack-Booted, Goose-Stepping pieces of shit we have always said they were. Expect the removal of that little pygmy terrorist, Alberto Gonzales, very soon.

Face it, Righty. Your whole world is falling apart.
The agenda? Gone. The war? Cluster Fuck. Domestic and foreign policy? LOL!
Everything you've done has failed.

The NY Times has the rest here:

The Report is available at the DOJ website here:

From the Times:

The use of national security letters since the September 2001 attacks has been a hotly debated domestic intelligence issue. They were once used only in espionage and terrorism cases, and then only against people suspected as agents of a foreign power.

With the passage of the Patriot Act, their use was greatly expanded and was allowed against Americans who were subjects of any investigation. The law also allowed other agencies like the Homeland Security Department to issue the letters.

They let DHS issue such letters???!!! The single most incompetent, corrupt, useless agency in the history of this nation???

This amounts to Gestapoism. Plain and simple.

This is your legacy Republicans. The worst assault on freedom in America came not from abroad but from within.
And YOU did it.

Squirrelly little PNAC Zionist bastard has come face to face with reality. Let's hope that in light of this conviction, which is related to a case of treason, that we see more of these traitors tried for their crimes against America.

May the pathway to Cheney be paved in the bones of his subordinates.

Good work, Fitzie.

Former Top Cheney Aid Found Guilty in CIA Leak Trial
By VOA News
06 March 2007

Jurors have found the former top aide to U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney guilty of four of five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice during an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby was charged with lying to both a U.S. grand jury and federal investigators trying to determine who exposed the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame.

Plame is married to former diplomat Joseph Wilson, who openly criticized the Bush administration about its reasons for launching the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The verdict was announced in Washington, D.C. Tuesday after 10 days of deliberations by an 11-member jury.

The 56-year-old Libby could face up to 30 years in prison and more than one million dollars in fines. Media reports say sentencing has been set for June 5, but the defense has asked for a delay.

Prosecutors say Libby leaked the information as part of a coordinated White House effort to discredit Wilson, a public critic of the Iraq war.

Chief Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said the disclosure of Plame's identity "cast a cloud" over the White House and over Vice President Cheney in particular.

Libby's perjury and obstruction of justice trial is the only criminal case to emerge from the CIA leak investigation.

Libby's defense attorneys argued that Libby had a bad memory and did not deliberately lie.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.

Addition:
Following the publishing of the jury's verdict today in the Libby trial, Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald held an impromptu press conference answering reporters' questions. During that questioning, Fitzgerald made it clear that, as alleged in the Indictment, the status of Valerie Plame in the CIA was "classified". Fitzgerald made it clear that there is no dispute on that matter. He said: "That is a fact."

Treason has been committed and those responsible must suffer the full penalty of law.

Hat tip and then some to the Guerrilla Gals

Keith Olberman has debunked the false accusations against Al Gore with ease. The morons at the TN Center for Political Shills evidently aren't very good at researching facts and finding the truth. Amazing how they could get things so wrong what with all those "college" degrees and all...

Anyway, you can't help but wonder how all those well educated people could make such foolish, sophomoric accusations against a truly great man like Al Gore.
Perhaps they have no intention of telling the truth. Perhaps they're just another group of traitors like the PNAC, intentionally lying through their capped and polished teeth to serve their anti-American agenda.

These people are the fucking enemy.

But let's not give too much credit for the College Degrees, after all, Bush went to Harvard and he's still the single dumbest fuck on earth.
Maybe these swine really are stupid. Let's explore some of their writings, shall we?

Here's a bit of sheer stupidity written by the Punk-Ass Republican Bitch, Drew Johnson. President of the "Stink Tank"....

Drew Johnson: Voted most likely to look good in a dress.

"What caused the increase in oil prices? Reduced oil production in Iraq, restrictions on oil supplies by governments, shifting market conditions resulting in higher demand for crude oil and, recently, the Texas City, Texas, oil refinery explosion all played varying roles."

The fact is, the increase in oil prices and the price at the pump is due solely to The Republican Party and their Saudi Terrorist Master's attempts to influence elections as is explained to us by Senator Charles Schumer...

"In an interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" last night, Bob Woodward said that Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, promised President Bush that the Saudis would cut oil prices before November to ensure the American economy is strong on election day. Bandar also allegedly implied that they understood this move would support Bush's re-election."

Yeah, some "Think Tank" this is when they can be shamed by a Liberal, Pot Head Blogger like me. By the way, Stink Tankers...my degree is from UC Berkeley and puts all of your's to shame. ;-)

No, no TNCPR...you're just Right-Wing Republican liars that are trying disparately to slander a good man who doesn't support your failed, treasonous, fascist Republican agenda.
Now that Keith Olberman has outted you to the mainstream media viewer, rest assured that Ablogination will never let you or anyone else forget what pathetic, unAmerican scum you really are.

100% credit to the Washington Post staff.

The following list shows votes by David Davis on the most important bills, nominations and resolutions that have come before Congress. The list is based on an analysis of the potential impact of the legislation on policy and politics. Post editors have compiled these key votes from the 109th Congress onward.

David Davis voted “NO” on all of the critical legislation offered below. Legislation designed to help the American people prosper and remain safe from terrorist attacks.

Here’s Davis stabbing our soldiers in the back….

Vote 99: H CON RES 63: This measure expresses the House’s disagreement with President Bush’s planned troop buildup in Iraq. The nonbinding resolution pledges support for U.S. personnel serving “bravely and honorably in Iraq” but says Congress “disapproves” of the president’s plan to add more than 20,000 combat troops.

The resolution was approved 246 to 182. Seventeen Republicans joined 229 Democrats in support of the resolution. Two Democrats opposed the measure.

While the 95-word resolution has no legal weight to force the president to change his course in Iraq, it marks a first key showdown between the White House and the new Congress controlled by Democrats.

Here’s Davis supporting that Big Oil that is the root of all evil in this nation….

Vote 40: H R 6: This bill would repeal tax cuts to oil companies and mandate that they pay a fee to remove oil from the Gulf of Mexico. It would also fund renewable energy programs.

The act would repeal a tax break that oil and gas firms received in 2004. That break effectively lowered their corporate tax rates. It would also bar oil companies from bidding on new federal leases unless they pay a fee or renegotiate improperly drafted leases from the late ‘90s. Those leases did not require royalty payments on Gulf of Mexico oil production. Oil firms would pay a “conservation fee” for oil taken from the gulf.

Additionally, the bill would set aside an estimated $13 billion to $15 billion in revenues over a five-year period for tax breaks relating to renewable energy sources, according to The Washington Post.

The bill was designed to reduce the United States’ dependency on foreign oil by investing in alternative energy sources. However, critics say it actually would decrease domestic oil production so the country would rely more heavily on imported oil.

The House passed the bill on Jan. 18, 2007, with a vote of 264-163. All House Democrats except one favored the bill. They were joined by 36 Republicans. The Senate must debate the bill.

The Washington Post reported that the Bush Administration opposed repealing the tax break for oil companies when other manufacturing industries benefited from the 2004 reductions. It also frowned on forcing companies to renegotiate their Gulf of Mexico leases.

Here’s Davis stabbing Senior Citizens in the back while supporting Big Pharm. The same Big Pharmaceutical companies that cost Tennessee it’s TennCare….

Vote 23: H R 4: This bill would allow the government to negotiate directly with drugmakers for lower prescription drug prices for individuals using Medicare.

The bill, which amends the Social Security Act, permits the Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate with drug companies on behalf of private insurers that run the drug benefit program for Medicare. This overturns a 2003 law which made private insurers responsible for these negotiations. The bill would require the secretary of Health and Human Services to lead negotiations and report back to Congress in six months.

Even with this new legislation in place, pharmaceutical companies are not mandated to lower their prices.

The House swiftly passed the bill on Jan. 12, 2007, by a vote of 255-170, with 24 Republicans joining House Democrats. A companion bill has not been offered in the Senate. A similar Senate bill allows the government to negotiate with drugmakers in some instances.

Here’s David Davis screwing the working people of Tennessee and the Nation….

Vote 18: H R 2: This bill would increase the federal minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour over two years.

It would increase the minimum wage in three increments. Sixty days after enactment, the minimum wage is to be raised to $5.85. A year after that it will be $6.55, and a year after that it will be $7.25. This is the first change to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 since 1997 when the federal minimum wage was increased from $4.75 to $5.15 an hour.

The bill also applies the federal minimum wage to the North Mariana Islands, a territory of the United States.

The legislation passed in the House on Jan. 10, 2007, with a vote of 315-116. Every House Democrat voted in favor of the proposal along with 82 Republicans.

The Senate version has been stalled because President Bush recommended that tax cuts for small businesses be added to the bill. Senate Democrats lost a 54-43 cloture vote on Jan. 24, 2007 to pass the legislation without tax cuts. The Senate bill now includes $8.3 million in tax breaks even though House Democrats argue constitutional precedents require that tax legislation originate in the House, according to The Washington Post. If the Senate passes its version of the bill, both the chambers will have to reconcile their differences between the two versions.

Here’s Davis supporting terrorism and doing everything he can to empower Al Qaida and all of America’s enemies….

Vote 15: H R 1: This bill would implement many of the remaining recommendations proposed by the 9/11 Commission in 2004.

The almost 300-page bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to give faster and more efficient funding to first responders. It also boosts federal aid to regions at greatest risk of a terrorist attack. It aims to improve the flow of intelligence between local law enforcement and first responders. It amends existing statutes on weapons of mass destruction to provide greater assistance to countries willing to help the United States fight nuclear proliferation overseas. It also creates an independent civil liberties watchdog group within the executive branch, according to The Washington Post.

The bill bolsters cargo security on passenger planes and ships traveling to the United States. Critics say this aspect of the legislation goes too far. The bill requires airlines to physically inspect 100 percent of cargo on passenger planes within three years of the bill’s passage. It also says shippers must inspect all U.S.-bound cargo in overseas ports for radiation within five years. Using existing technology, this change potentially could slow the flow of goods into the United States, skeptics argue.

The House left this component intact and passed the measure on Jan. 9, 2007, with a vote of 299-128.

TN-1 Republicans… you have stabbed this district, this state, and this country in the back with your razor-sharp, jagged vote.
We hope you’re happy with your precious tax breaks. Since that’s all you care about.

The vast majority of the American people have made it abundantly clear that we don't want to give an idiot like George Bush another chance to murder our soldiers.

That's a vast majority...a vast bi-partisan majority.
So who does Davis represent? All but two Democrats and what few intelligent Republicans there are seem to understand when the people have spoken. So what's wrong with Davis?

Easy. He's simply sacrificing the good of America, and the lives of our soldiers, to pander to his religofascist, two digit IQ, blood-thirsty hick base. Obviously Davis has no problem sacrificing your kid's life for the Big Lie in Iraq (His kids aren't going, but your's are). His whole world is a lie. He feels free to pimp Jesus for personal gain so his faith is a lie. He supports the Neo-Con agenda so his dedication to the American people is a lie. He takes money from Saudi Terrorist Oil personnel so his patriotism is a lie. He takes money from Big Tobacco so his career as a Respiratory Therapist is a lie.

David Davis is a lie.....

Disapproving of the decision of the President announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq

On Agreeing to the Resolution
02/16/2007
House Roll Call No. 99
110th Congress, 1st Session

Passed: 246-182 (see complete tally)
How the U.S. House from Tennessee voted: voted
• Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-7) N
• Rep. Stephen Cohen (D-9) Y
• Rep. Jim Cooper (D-5) Y
• Rep. Lincoln Davis (D-4) Y
• Rep. David Davis (R-1) N
• Rep. John Duncan, Jr. (R-2) Y
• Rep. Bart Gordon (D-6) Y
• Rep. John Tanner (D-8) Y
• Rep. Zach Wamp (R-3) N

Davis joins the other two Stooges, the Politiwhore Marsha Blackburn and the single dumbest human being in the state of Tennessee, Zack Wamp, in stabbing our troops and the American people in the back once again.

Nice work TN-1 Republicans. You've really fucked up this time.

Ever ask yourself why two candidates that cannot win a general election are getting all the press?

FOX, CNN, ABC...all the Rupert Murdoch types in the main stream media just love to promote Hillary and Obama. Since the aforementioned media outlets (as well as others) are shameless pawns of the GOP it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to see what's going on.

If either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama win the Democratic nomination, this country will be stuck with John McCain for a President and with him, more of the same Republican lies, corruption and miserable failures that have torn this nation apart for the last seven years.

Hillary Clinton is worthless and cannot be trusted. Obama is a pretty good dude but not experienced enough and far too naive to fix what's wrong with this country, as is evident by his voting record. Obama voted in favor of the appointments of Michael Chertoff, John Negroponte, and Robert M. Gates. Three of the most prolific Neo-Cons in our government. Obama simply doesn't understand and therefore cannot be trusted until he does.

Now, let's apply some reverse psychology and see what we come up with.

The Right-Wing media promotes Hillary and Obama because they know neither one can beat McCain, the presumed Repig front runner.
That should lead us to assume that the candidates that can beat McCain are the ones getting the least amount of press.

AKA John Edwards.

John Edwards has a plan for Iraq that is consistant with the will of his base and the majority of Americans. Something neither Hillary or Obama can claim...

* Stop the escalation and force an immediate
withdrawal by using funding caps to restrict the
total number of troops in Iraq to 100,000, which
would require an immediate drawdown of
40,000-50,000
combat troops without stranding or underfunding a
single soldier still in Iraq. Any troops beyond the
100,000 level should be redeployed immediately.

* Block the deployment of troops that do not meet
readiness standards and that have not been properly
trained and equipped. American Tax dollars must be
used to prepare and supply our troops, not escalate
the war. It is simply wrong to send our troops into
harm's way without all the training and equipment
they need.

* Make it clear that President Bush is conducting
this war without authorization. The 2002
authorization did not give Bush the power to use
U.S. troops to police a civil war. President Bush
exceeded his authority long ago. He now needs to
end
the war and ask Congress for new authority to
manage the withdrawal of the U.S. military presence
and to help Iraq achieve stability.

* Require a complete withdrawal of combat troops in
Iraq within the next 12-18 months without leaving
behind any permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.

The people have spoken. This war must stop and stop now. John Edwards has the guts to get it started, he has the brains and class to defeat John McCain or any other Repig wanna-be like the incestuous Rudy Giuliani or the Nazi-Lover Mitt Romney.

Edwards is a principled man, a solid Liberal Christian and he has the compassion and courage to lead. That's why he's ignored in the press, he's everything the Republican contenders wish they could be and never will.

Clinton, Obama...Face it, they cannot win the big one.
Edwards can. This is about fixing the damage the Neo-Con, Pro Zionist regime has done to America and the world. It's not about whether or not "Feminists" get their way. It's not about Impeaching Bush (though that would be nice).
It's about righting the wrongs and stamping out the fascist evil that is choking this country to death.

We cannot allow another Republican Pig to rule this country.

Clinton, Obama, Clinton, Obama...
Don't be led to the slaughter, Democrats.

In the theater of Right-Wingers pretending to be Democrats or Liberals Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, and their ilk are by no means alone...

There's no telling how many times Biden will enter and exit the '08 race, but hopefully his last move will be the ladder.

Biden just has that "I'm a fucking liar" air about him.
Just look at this guy. He's a Monocle and a White Persian Cat away from being a villain in a James Bond movie...

Just Say NO to Joe.

Oh! Is that a "Brookings Institute" sign in the background of that pic? That would explain the charade.
Like Brookings and all the DLC minions that seek advise there, Biden is the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing.
Perhaps you've heard it expressed that the Brookings people were Liberals? Or even "Centrists"?
Nope! They're Right-Wing shills just like the few Democrats that fellow with them. LINK...

"In fact, much of Brookings' top brass has come from Republican administrations. Its current president, Michael Armacost, was an undersecretary of state for the Reagan administration and ambassador to Japan under Bush. Brookings' president from 1977 to 1995, Bruce MacLaury, spent most of his career in the Federal Reserve, with a stint in the Nixon Treasury Department".

Joe Biden's hatred for the First Amendment is a well documented fact. Biden's sponsorship of the infamous Rave Act of 2002 is all that's needed to prove that Joe biden is an enemy of the American people. Biden's First Amendment trashing and sneaky, politically maneuvered Rave Act, have been used by the DEA to stop a perfectly legitimate political fund raising function. Just as everyone who lobbied so vigorously against the Rave Act feared.
PROOF
PROOF
MORE PROOF

Sean Braisted at Nashville for the 21st Century made some very astute comments concerning the true nature of Joe Biden...

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man." - Joe Biden on Barack Obama

Let's count the social faux pas in that statement.

1) "first mainstream African-American" - Hmmm...I think Jesse Jackson might argue with you on that point. Though I see where you are at with that.

2) "articulate" - Condescending statement 1

3) "bright" - Condescending statement 2

4) "clean" - As opposed to those dirty black folk?

5) "nice-looking guy" - Going for the gay vote, eh?

Biden is a shelterd, out-of-touch, Republican wannabe like all of his DLC cohorts.

We need change in '08, America. Radical change.
What we do not need is more of the same old politics as usual bullshit and jelly-spined, rubber stamp DLC flip-floppers that got us into this mess in the first place by bowing before King George and his henchmen when they should have been resisting.
The Democrats that helped Bush and the PNAC carry out their treacherous and murderous plans must pay the price for their cowardice.

Support and Elect real Democrats to office in '08. Vote for Democrats that represent you, not the Republican Party.

John Edwards, Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich, Wesley Clark, (maybe Big Al Gore?)...there will be more to come. These are the kind of courageous men we need to protect our rights, take care of domestic issues, use their heads when dealing with the world, and prosecute the criminals left over from the Republican occupation.

We have made great strides since the '06 Ass-Stomping we gave the Republicans in removing corruption from our government and returning power to the people. There is still much to do.
Democrats now have to prove ourselves to be steadfast and honest in our claims to be the righteous ones. We railed against Republican fascism, now we must rail against the handful of fascists in our own Party.

Lest we become the hypocrites the Republicans are.

Yeah, you heard it right. There is a God. Jason Bonham will play drums and the US gets a tour!
Thank you, Lord God for this tremendous blessing. We are unworthy.

Led Zeppelin to tour again


By THOMAS WHITAKER
Showbiz Reporter

LEGENDARY rockers Led Zeppelin are set to re-group after 22 years for a money-spinning stadium tour of America.

The three surviving members singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones plan to hit the road next summer.

The trio hope to pocket £6.4million for the shows.

Robert, 54, Jimmy, 58, and 56-year-old John Paul met two weeks ago at the offices of their management firm Trinifold.

They buried the hatchet over Page and Plant’s 1990s tour, which John Paul only learned about from a newspaper.

A band insider said last night: If the right offer comes up they will do it.

Trinifold added: Jimmy is itching to do something, but there is nothing firm yet.

Zeppelin split in 1980 after a booze binge killed drummer John Bonham.

His son Jason is set to play drums on the tour.

The band, famed for songs like Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love, are second only to the Beatles in worldwide album sales.

They still hold records for crowds at their 1970s concerts.

A music industry insider said: They had so many hits that I am sure the reunion would be a major success.

In light of Howard Dean's 50 State Strategy, we thankfully find ourselves with the most Liberal Congress in a very, very long time. Maybe ever!
In just a little over a month the 110th has accomplished more than the last twelve Congresses combined.
Dignity is being restored and the Republican Culture of Corruption is being rapidly dismantled.

So why take a Right turn when voting for President in '08?...

Hillary Clinton is not a Liberal. She's barely a Democrat to be frank. These "Blue Dogshit" Conservanoid Democrats are just Republicans that support abortion.

The DLC and all associated with it exist solely for the purpose of dividing the Democratic Party.
To find the truth about Hillary Clinton is not difficult. She is every bit the crooked, backstabbing pretender her husband was.

All one need do is examine Hillary Clinton's behavior during the Whitewater Investigations to see the obvious parallels between her attempts to lie and squirm and deflect blame, and those of the Bush Regime. Refer to the
WHITEWATER TIMELINE for a fine example of Clinton abuse of power.

Hillary Clinton is the DLC (Democratic Leadership Counsel). This group of dividers has plagued the evolution of the Democratic Party for years. They tried to criticize Howard Dean out of pure jealousy with James "fish face" Carville's treasonous post election'06 attack. They couldn't handle the fact that Dean's DNC got the job done in a big way and the DLC sat on their useless asses.

Another example of DLC foolishness is that they recently named the Mega-Loser, Harold Ford Jr. as DLC chairman. LOL! Talk about a death wish.

Let's examine some facts about Hillary Clinton. Solid proof that no self respecting Liberal, or Democrat should even think about voting for her in the primary..

Hillary's Friends:
Hillary is in bed with the king of corporate media Pigs, Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch, owner of the FOX News Group of Traitors, is guilty of knowingly and willingly aiding and abetting the Bush/Republican lies and corruption of the past seven years. Yet Hillary Clinton has no problem associating with this filthy Pig of a man.

Hillary's Money:

Hillary Clinton has strong financial ties to some of the most dishonest and dangerous corporations in America.

Citigroup Inc. is by far one of the worst,..

Citigroup is the world’s second largest financial services firm, with $1 trillion in assets. One of the company’s subsidiaries is brokerage firm Salomon Smith Barney, which has been plagued with lawsuits and government investigations into its financing of bankrupt Enron and ailing WorldCom. In 1998, Citigroup’s lobbying helped repeal a federal law that prevented banks from getting into other businesses, allowing the company to acquire an insurance firm. Citigroup continues to lobby on a number of issues, including financial privacy, bankruptcy reform and terrorism reinsurance.

Hillary is pro Iraq war and will not bring our guys home. She will continue the Neo-Con agenda and just paint it a different color.

Let's examine Hillary's voting record in the Senate,..
Not only did she vote in favor of the Illegal and Immoral war in Iraq and has supported the war to this day even knowing it was based on fabricated evidence. There has been no greater threat to freedom than the Patriot Act of 2001. Pushed along by then Attorney General and accomplished Religofascist John Asscroft, the Patriot Act handed victory to Osama Bin Laden by making the US look like cowards and restricting constitutional freedoms. Exactly the outcome Bin Laden was hoping for...

Bill Number: HR 3162
Issue: National Security Issues
Date: 10/25/2001
Sponsor:Rep Sensenbrenner, F. James, Jr. [WI-9]

Roll Call Number: 0313
Bill Passed (Senate)
How members voted

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton voted YES.
Read statements Senator Clinton made in this general time period.

Official Title of Legislation:

HR 3162: To deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes.

The greatest Peace activist of our time, Cindy Sheehan, has a thing or two to say about Senator Clinton also...

"I again affirm my commitment to peace. I don't care if it is a man or a woman; Democrat or Republican; white or black; Christian, Jew or otherwise. I will only support a candidate who is courageously and uncompromisingly committed to peace.

Hillary Clinton is not that person. She never will be. History speaks louder than words".

As does the famed Molly Ivans...

"I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges".

Let's face it, Hillary cannot beat McCain anyway. The country is also fed up with the Right-Wing and their corruption and hypocricy, as well as the "Centrists" who constantly flip-flop on their loyalties and in the case of the Democratic Party, only seek to divide.

America said "Move Left" in '06. Hillary is as Right-Wing as any Repiglikan coming from the same diseased mold as Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman. She is not going to win.
The Right-Wing loves to promote her in the media because of the simple fact that she will be good for them if she does win. McCain, Clinton...either way the Pigs win.

We have to keep pushing this country forward, fellow Americans. Hillary Clinton, like any Republican or DLC crony, is a step backwards. A step we do not have to take.

Al Gore may be out of the picture, but we have John Edwards. A kind, decent man with the best interest of Americans in mind. Edwards can unite the Democratic Party and he can beat John McCain.

Just think about it. If a Clinton wins in 08, we will have spent the last two decades being ruled by only two families. And that cannot be healthy for any country, much less America...
1989–1993---------Bush
1993–2001---------Clinton
2001-2009---------Bush
2009--------------Clinton again?
Two families that are very close socially.

Our duty is clear.
Hillary Clinton is totally unacceptable as the Democratic Presidential Candidate.

So you think Iran is bad? Syria?
The Arab nations we tend to protect are usually the ones we shouldn't. I have been to Kuwait, there's two kinds of people there. The average citizens and the mega-wealthy pigs....

Here we have a sad testimony to civilization. This post doesn't have anything to do with Islam, but it has everything to do with how it's applied. Remember that if it wasn't for the rule of law and the second amendment, Pat Robertson and his minions would do the exact same thing in America in amongst the witch burnings and inquisitions.

This isn't about Islam or any particular religion, it's about the radical vermin that use religion as an excuse to commit murder.

Sadly Sheik Talal Nasser Al Sabah, member of the Kuwaiti Royal Pig Family has been sentenced to die for being a drug dealer.
It's disgraceful that a nation that's supposed to be a beacon of civilization in a region that has little, will so zealously turn into barbarians over their woeful religious outlook.

If this is what we protect, we have our heads up our asses. We should have let Saddam have them. He was right, they are slime.

To sentence a man to die is bad enough. To sentence a man to die for nothing is pure evil.

The arrogance and foolishness of the Kuwaiti rulers first came to my view when I lived in the United Arab Emirates. I went to Kuwait for a school volleyball tournament and upon waking the next morn, I picked up the paper and read about how the Emir (or whatever the fuck he is) was asking construction contractors if they could build a giant dome over Kuwait City and air-condition it.

Pompous asses. The lot of them.

I truly hope Sheik Talal wins an appeal and his life is spared. I hope for this not because Talal is a good guy (in fact he's a pig too), but for the sake of common decency, respect for life, and because deep down I'd love to one day see the super wealthy, black-hearted, hypocritical, religious zealot fucktards of this planet for once in their worthless lives, act like human beings.

Well, so much for the Republican Scum wanting to "work together" for a better country. These filthy, immoral little slime actually fear ethics. It's not surprising either since their entire existence revolves around being unethical...

The Washington Post reports on the self-serving, obstructionist, unethical agenda of the Republican Right.
Though the ethics legislation that is part of the Democratic 100 Hr promise enjoyed vast support from house Republicans, the Republifucks in the Senate decided to take advantage of the best piece of reform legislation in decades by inserting a Line Item Veto clause for Bush. This would give Bushit the power to override any and all legislation that is legally passed by the House and Senate. Otherwise known as Dictatorship.

Mitch "Bitch" McConnell Pearl Harbors Harry Reid after faking cooperation.

The Repig Senators argue that with Line Item Veto power Bush could do more to stop illegal money and pork spending. Who the fuck do these traitors think they're kidding? Even Repigs know Bush isn't capable of doing anything right. That includes cleaning up spending. He's not only incompetent but just as dirty as the rest of his party.
They did this to kill the reforms which would pretty much bankrupt at least most of the Republican party. Much if not most of the money contributed to republican candidates in America came from criminal activity and other ill-gotten gain.

The move was a ruse to kill legislation they wouldn't dare oppose with a general vote due to the fact that the American people are very much in favor of reforms.
They will pay in '08 with their jobs.

Democrats pushed amendments that would have forced lobbyists to publicly divulge the small campaign contributions they collect from clients and "bundle" into large contributions. Lavish gatherings thrown by lobbyists and corporate interests at party conventions would have been banned.

Interest groups would have had to reveal the money they spend on campaigns to rally voters for or against legislation, a provision that had raised the ire of conservative activists such as Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform as well as the National Right to Life Committee. Proponents of the provision said it would combat activities brought to light during the Jack Abramoff scandal. Abramoff, a once-powerful Republican lobbyist now in federal prison, channeled millions of dollars from Indian gambling clients through nonprofit groups run by former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed and Norquist to fund campaigns against rival tribal interests.

The last thing the Republican Culture of Corruption wants is oversight. Their filthy lucre would be exposed and cut off by ethics reform legislation and that's the bulk of their motivation.

We've given these losers a chance and they have once again stabbed America in the back.

I guess there's only one way left to look at it, if there's a boil on the ass of America you don't "reform" it. You cut it off.

Hearings, subpoenas,...put 'em all in jail right next to Duke Cunningham and Jack Abramoff.

And thus the humiliation of TN-1 begins anew. We warned and warned about electing a liar like David Davis to the House of Representatives. Now those who so foolishly cast a vote for this clown can wallow in his incompetence....

As the 110th Congress opens, Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic Left have begun to implement the will of the American people in the form of the 100 Hr Promise.

The most important and urgent part of the 100 Hr Promise was the implementation of the 9/11 Commission Report Findings (PDF)

The 9/11 Commission Report outlines the good and bad of Domestic Security in America and suggests how we can secure our nation from terrorism WITHOUT giving up our civil and constitutional rights.

Naturally, David Davis was one of the few Neo-Con bastards that voted against our national security.

Here's the breakdown on H.R.1 (house resolution 1)

H.R.1
Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007

On adoption of Title 4 of the Resolution
01/05/2007
House Roll Call No. 9
110th Congress, 1st Session

Passed: 280-152 (see complete tally)
How the U.S. House from Tennessee voted:
• Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-7)N
• Rep. Stephen Cohen (D-9) Y
• Rep. Jim Cooper (D-5) Y
• Rep. Lincoln Davis (D-4) Y
• Rep. David Davis (R-1) N
• Rep. John Duncan, Jr. (R-2)N
• Rep. Bart Gordon (D-6) Y
• Rep. John Tanner (D-8) Y
• Rep. Zach Wamp (R-3) N

The chart above clearly shows the need for more respectable people in Tennessee politics.
Democrats vote for strong and fair national security measures, and Republicans vote to assist Al-Qaida in harming Americans by supporting lax security where it's needed the most.

H.R.1 passed the House with widespread BIPARTISAN support. Only a handful of Neo-Con Pigs voted against it. These "Pigs" are the Right-Wing Bush worshipers who prefer spying on Americans to securing our ports.
They prefer wide open borders to secure ones. They prefer attacking the wrong country (Iraq) to finding Osama Bin Laden.
They prefer seeing the Ten Commandments on a court house to feeding the poor.

These American Taliban Pigs must be removed from public service, there's no other way. David Davis' very first vote was a vote in favor of terrorism.

My God, TN-1 Republicans...what have you done to us?

Unbelievable. The American People clearly stated in November of 2006, along with virtually every expert, that we want the US presence in Iraq decreased and ended. So what does the "president of everybody" do? He makes yet another stubborn, pigheaded, asinine, out-of-touch decision to make the situation in Iraq much, much worse.
Now, if the Democratic Majority has finally found a spine, it's obvious that we have no President. Bush must be pushed aside and Pelosi and her 110th must take this matter into their own hands.
All funding for war escalation must be stopped.

FOOL OF THE PLANET

A few points:

1)U.S. Troops in Iraq: 72% Say End War in 2006

2)Upwards of 80 percent of Americans -- and more than half of the military, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- oppose sending more troops to Iraq.

3)George W. Bush has done absolutely nothing right in the six years he's been in office. Who on earth would be stupid enough to think he will get this right?

4)Who wants their loved one to be the next American to die for a lie?
(please respond to this post using the feedback field below)

The Bush Regime is the single worst disaster to ever hit this country. They have killed more Americans than Bin Laden, more Iraqis than Saddam, more hope than Satan.
They've crushed the US constitution, devalued every right and tradition we as a nation ever had, and fowled the image of America in the eyes of the world beyond repair.

Do something, Democrats! Have the Sgt. at Arms put handcuffs on this stupid bastard, drag him out of our White House (along with Cheney, Rice and the rest of the traitors), and allow President Pelosi to end this madness once and for all.

Not one more life should be sacrificed on the Bush Family Alter of Stupidity. Not one more.

It’s about Disney Inc, KSFO Radio and their traitor staff and their reaction to being caught with their pants down.

Fellow Blogger “Spocko” at Spocko’s Brain took on the enemy of America and had his blog shut down for doing so. It seems Disney sent their lawyers after Spocko who made it his business to notify sponsors of the Melanie Morgan and Lee Rogers show on KFSO in San Francisco that the hosts were spewing hate on the air in one breath and then reading the commercials in the next.

Audio clips reveal Morgan and Rogers reveling in fantasies of torture, talking about “putting the bull’s-eye on” Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi, demanding that a caller “Say Allah is a Whore” to prove he is not an Islamist, etc.

Apparently Disney was OK with all this until the blogger alerted the shows sponsors and costs the broadcaster revenue. Instead of cleaning up the show they went after the blogger.

Here’s some of the audio of the Scum at KSFO Radio doing their thing….

KSFO Radio: All Fascist, All the Time

KSFO 560 AM is owned by ABC Radio Disney.
It’s very sad to know that an organization like Disney would advocate this kind of insidiously un-American rhetoric, especially due to the fact that they make their money off of children and gear their business and activities toward them.
This is the kind of thing that perverts and poisons the minds of kids and Disney is a happy participant in the carnage. They even resort to violating the 1st amendment rights of Spocko. I’m sure they had no trouble doing so.

Seems Walt Disney’s reputed status as a full fledged Fascist may be closer to truth than we might think.
If not, we can simply look to the Corporate Fascism that has gripped this nation since George Bush and his Brown Shirts came to power. Disney is part of it, as much as Halliburton, Exxon, and Diebold.

Boycott Disney Products. Tell your kids the truth and explain to them what evil lurks behind the colorful cartoon characters and the general happy horse shit that Disney is all about.
Boycott the movies, the toys, and all those who advertise through Disney and any of their media outlets.

These pigs cannot be permitted to poison the minds of our future generations.

This Entry is Dedicated to Spocko. Keep kicking Disney ass, bro’. We’re behind you all the way.
