No More Free Pass for Bush

No More Free Pass for Bush

Great B Movie stuff, for sure. But don’t let the bumbling appeal fool you. Whether Bush’s “problem” is real or artificial, it functions to encourage disbelief about the nature of his presidency and his administration. He seems like just a regular guy, a little dim, maybe a puppet, but not a “bad guy.” Right? Wrong. What is he really for? Power, control, greed, war, death. What is he really against? Democracy, education, truth, science, privacy, equality, justice for all, our…

I don’t always agree with Bill Clinton, but he sure cheered me up today. I was starting to think he’d completely lost his mind, hanging about with the Bushes. CLINTON: Now, I will answer all those things on the merits, but first I want to talk about the context in which this arises. I’m being asked this on the FOX network. ABC just had a right- wing conservative run in their little “Pathway to 9/11,” falsely claiming it was based…

How to Rig an Election

With the mid-term elections coming up, we must keep our eyes and ears open for election fraud. No matter what your political leaning, this affects everyone. Princeton researchers have produced a video to demonstrate security flaws in a Diebold electronic voting machine. These flaws allow electronic voting machines to be rigged to steal votes. (Thanks for sending, Corinne!) That’s what can be done from the outside. But what it’s already programmed on the inside? The video reminded me of an…

I’ve been feeling a certain amount of (self-imposed) pressure to keep up with every action and every political development here. Obviously, I can’t do that. There are people who actually receive a salary to do so, and you can find them all over the web. Anyone who has read this blog knows that I would be disappointed in McCain and others for caving on the torture provisions, that I would probably rant on the strategy of seeming to attack the…

According to the Christian Newswire, Human Life International has opened up a new website that claims to expose the “Real Source of Violence” in the abortion debate. Guess who they claim is responsible for the violence? “This website exposes the pro-choice movement as the most violent political movement in United States history. In fact, we have documented over 7,000 acts of violence and illegal activities by those who support or practice abortion,” stated Brian Clowes, Ph. D., senior analyst for…

No Pardon for President’s Criminal Wiretapping of Americans

No Pardon for President’s Criminal Wiretapping of Americans

Comments 0 Comment

Don’t let the Senate Legislate a Secret Pardon of President Bush – Take Action (Moveon.org) This week, the Senate is planning to quietly hold a vote that would pardon President Bush for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping innocent Americans. The bill would let the administration off the hook for breaking the law and make it legal to wiretap Americans, in secret, without any oversight whenever they want to. Democrats and some Republicans are holding strong against it, and if…
