  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • This article is strangely off-focus

    Don't get me wrong, this article is well-researched and well-written. But how in the world can the doofus-tool Alberto Gonzales be regarded at the center of these crimes, when what he actually ''did'' was to conceal, obfuscate and carry water for the true evil-doers. It would be interesting to reconstruct the Venn diagram in terms of the ...

  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • Invoking Hitler Belittles Nazism

    Excellent words. Invoking ‘Hitler’ in garden-variety political disputes has another side. It diminishes the nature of fascism, which was based on a highly developed German industrial economy, and the mass production of the most lethal weapons known to the world at the time. A third-rate dictatorship like Iraq under Hussein, whose infrastructure ...

  • Re: Why does torture by conservatives shock him?

    thewolf05827: ''...conservatives have never cared much for civil liberties.'' ''The only limitations on government that conservatives want is less regulation on business and lower taxes, both of which disproportionately help the rich, if the average person is helped at all.'' Do you even understand you are posting generalizations? Oh. ...

  • 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

    The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. 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 ...
