  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?

    For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

  • 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''... Although this may have been an issue that may have eventually required continued US Military Action, there WERE & ARE on the other hand, far GREATER dangers to the ...

  • Still waiting for the "false choice"

    For shame, Slate. Not you, Dahlia. Your point, while not precisely new ground, is a useful and worthy comment on how the Administration has abused the definitions on both sides of this question. I (mostly) agree - the true abuse in the Padilla case is the abuse of the categories, the deliberate use of inaccurate designation to game out ...

  • Law a la carte

    The entire ''fired attorneys'' mess is another face of the larger problem. That problem is that the Bush-type Republicans will do anything, say anything, try anything to increase their power to use the authority and resources of the U.S. government on every level for their own benefit. All the machinations, the gerrymandering, the voter ...

  • Lawyers' duties

    I was going to write a post about how government lawyers are different from lawyers in private practice. I was going to note that government lawyers (and, particularly, those in appointed positions) swear an oath to defend the Constitution. I was going to describe how prosecutors, for instance, are charged with working for justice, which means ...
