Congressman Murtha has been a very vocal advocate of getting our troops out of Iraq. He wants to post a lot of them nearby so they can be used as a reaction force when requested by the Iraqis themselves. I like the idea. Murtha is a former officer, and a long time member of Congress. He is respected by both Democrats and Republicans as a staunch supported of the military, and more specifically, the soldiers themselves. I'm starting to wonder... does Murtha have Presidential aspirations? Does he have wide enough support with moderates and pro military conservatives. He is also by the way a budget conservative. Republicans are already starting a swiftboat style of attack on him. Is their attack more than a defense of their own failed policy in Iraq? Are they preemptively weakening him as a presidential candidate? The media allowed Republicans to attack former Senator Max Cleland. Is this more of the same?

So another intrusive government program has come to light, this one dealing with the bank records of thousands of Americans being examined by intelligence agencies. Phone records, Internet activity, travel, and now bank records. When is enough enough! Ok, so here comes our wingnut friends saying “Oh, I suppose you would rather have some terrorist blow up your family?” “Live free or die trying asshole”... Thats what I say... people die from shit everyday... cancer, car wrecks, aids, I don't see the government spending a trillion dollars to prevent these much more prevalent causes of death. Terrorism is a ploy stupid! To get you to relinquish your rights, your money and your freedom. Ever see the movie Brazil? Just look at what their setting up right infront of our fat, deep fried Twinkie eating faces... A virtual unification with Canada and Mexico! The super transcountry shipping corridor. It's all new world order stuff. This isn't tin foil hat time, this is for real. Inch by inch, law by law, signing statement by signing statement... it's all happening right now and... we are clueless. American Sheeple take notice, you are now officially past critical mass in your consumer driven ignorance and apathy.

This column in the Daily KOS is a must read for info and action on Net neutrality .

Troops in WWI were defended by foxholes...
...troops in Iraq are defended by Fox News.

The Korean War was caused by post-WWII instability...
...the war in Iraq was caused by post-9/11 gullibility.

During the Revolutionary War, a young woman named Molly becuse famous for her pitcher...
...during the Iraq War, a dumb woman named Lynndie because famous for her pictures.

During Vietnam, draft-dodgers abruptly fled the country...

In WWII, the liberation of Paris caused songs and revelry...

During WWII, the Reich blamed their problems on the Jews...
...during Iraq, the right blames their problems on the news.

A great image of the Revolutionary War is of Washington on a boat, courageously crossing the Delaware...
...a grating image of the Iraq War is of Bush on a boat, outrageously lost and unaware.

During the Gulf War, the Patriot missile was used to repel our enemies...
...during the Iraq War, the Patriot Act is used to repeal our liberties.

Heroin laced with Fentanyl is killing hundreds of users. Cops are looking for the source. Every dealer they bust should be one step closer... at least one would think. The fact is they aren't closer to finding the source. There are no major arrests in the case. Hundreds of people dead, and they are no closer to wrapping this up than when it all started. Why? Because these are fucking drug users! Thats why.. these aren't cute little blond headed teen agers. They aren't the children of rich uppercrusty suburbanites. (At least one wouldn't think they were) You see, law enforcement gets geared up for certain events and certain people. Without the perception of safety the movers and shakers could put the whole works into a fucking free fall. So our law enforcement puts most of it's energy into keeping our leaders from seeing protesters, and tracking down missing coeds. Oh yea there is terrorism, but thats just a code word for look busy and getting the money. Meanwhile opium is being harvested in record amounts in Afghanistan, and hundreds of people are dieing on American streets because some ass hole wants to cut the drug with another pharmaceutical poison. God Bless America.

I created this image from two photos taken on the same afternoon, June 13 2006. The Day President Bush made a surprise visit to Iraq. Bush upon returning home said he had a good feeling about Iraq. Also note that we have officialy surpassed 2,500 American soldier deaths today.

I just just saw Al Gore on larry King Live... Wow. He seemed a man at ease with himself, his topic and his future. He answered many questions on the environment, the cover up by the current administration, current events and his future. He was blunt yet tactfull with all his answers. I think he's playing his cards close to the vest. I think he is waiting to see if the Hillary momentum crumbles, and weather Americans embrace his global warming message. I am starting to hope more and more that he decides to run. See the movie An Inconvenient Truth this weekend.

Thats right I hate America! It took some time for me to be convinced, but there it is. You see, I have no respect for the President, his cabinet, his ideas or his lap dog Congress and Senate. I hate the war, the economy, health care, environmental policy, foreign policy, nation debt, trade deficit, and anything they do in the name of God. Wow, I just don't hate America, I'm a SUPER HATER! Apparently though, I'm not the only one... studies indicate our standing in the world is crumbling faster than Ann Coulter's reputation as a fair minded intellectual. Now that I've admitted to having a problem I can start a 12 step program to get on the road to recovery. But what about all those other haters in the world. I mean, they often know more about American policies and actions than actual Americans. How can we combat the well informed? My goodness, they were right... ignorance IS bliss!. I am thinking about writing Condoleeza Rice about the importance of stepping up the exporting of American brand ignorance. The world not only needs freedom, but needs to be free from thought. Blissfully devoid of those pesky facts and figures. Two things people.. I need to find a sponsor for my program, and I need your help in devising a plan to present to the State Department. Thanks, and if I have ever offended with my Hate, I will be contacting you soon to personally apologize and make amends.

AN ESTIMATED 84,563 AMERICANS HAVE BEEN MURDERED SINCE 9-11
Shouldn't this be shocking? Shouldn't Congressmen and Senators be on the news? Shouldn't Wolf Blitzer's Situation room have all the red light flashing? Christ people! We have spent a trillion dollars to stop terrorists from killing a few of us, and in the meantime we kill each other. 84,563! Welcome to Death Land!

Must see

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. So much has been going on both politicaly and personaly. You have probably noticed that I have been slacking here. No, I'm not loosing interest, or being lazy. I have several things going on. First is my lower back problem... some of you know about this, it has bothered me for years but in the last couple months has become quite unbearable. So, I am getting spinal fusion surgery on the 28th. Hopefully after the surgery I'll be able to sit and work out painfree again. I also have kids home on summer vacation, and have put some effort into a website to showcase my art. Please check that out here. I also seem to spend to much time with friends over at The Blue Republic. After I recover from my surgery I hope to resume posting here as frequently as I once did. Thanks for visiting

So in her new book she slams widows of 9/11. How low can this nasty piece of crap go? You can see her adams apple in the video... is she really a man? I'll also note that she was on the show in 2005, and wore the same dress.

The Al Qaeda Chief in Iraq has been reported killed near Barcuba. Two 500 lb bombs were dropped on what he considerd a safe house. Zarqawi himself is also credited with the beheading of Nick Burg. This is a developing story. It was said that US Special Forces were there when the bombs hit. My question is, then why didn't they capture him? Why didn't they jail him and put him on trial? It's also reported how gleefull the folks at the Whitehouse are. Is this the much needed shot of happiness they need to pull their abysmal ratings out of the toilet?

Thanks to Sumo Merriment for finding this one. In these times of Christ sponsored hate we need perspective.

Rolling Stone magazine has a piece written by ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR that categorically states that is exactly what happened. How bad was the fraud? Put it this way... By all accounts Bush shouldn't just be livin' at the ranch 40 percent of the time, but 100 percent. The story is a bit long but well worth the read. You need to check it out and find just how the Whitehouse was stolen.
