  • Re: Rights Slipping Away

    I can't believe this! The government is getting way outta control. people need to take a stand. It's not about cheap burgers or alchol or smoking, it's about our right to do those things. What if they banned diamonds and flashy cars from rich people because of increased chance of robbery. Or they baneed certain vegitables and replaced them w/ ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Security before "Democracy"

    re: I forgot that security must come before democracy. Well, I think Joel Joffe's got it all backwards. Here's how: 1) Start with the US. We didn't start the Iraq war in a Constitutional fashion. (By the way, the US is not a ''democracy.'' I don't know of any current government in the world that's a democracy. There was a democracy in ...

  • Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?

    Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force. Millions of ...

  • Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years

They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

  • Why I'm an American in Exile...

    On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004. Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...

  • Iraq is "Bush's War"

    Iraq is ''Bush's War'' (NOT a ''War Against Terrorism'')... Question: When did Terrorists'' get the ESTABLISHED and REAL foot-hold in Iraq? Related to the ''War Against Saddam''...

  • We're staying

    The point of all the spin, factoid, messages coming from the Pentagon and the Bushies is this: ''We're not withdrawing from Iraq. Even if a Democratic president is elected November after next, the U.S. is not ending it's occupation of Iraq. The occupation of Iraq is a punishment on that country for even being perceived by a delusional, misinformed ...
