I admire John both for what he did for all those years and for what he’s doing now...
...there is merely one more political party than Iraq fielded under Saddam Hussein.
I know you’ve all heard it before, mostly from conservatives.
“Yeah, he or she got lots of book learnin’, but they don’t got no common sense.”
The one word I’m not certain that one can use with other satirists that is perfectly legitimate in describing Roy Zimmerman is brilliant.Wanted Needed
David Johnson makes an excellent case why middle and lower class Americans should cease cheering for corporations and begin to join their fellow workers in reviving efforts to organize.
Be amazed!
What should one logically think of when hearing the phrase, “They’re taking our jobs”?
Please sign the petition.
...here's the catch.
This begs the question, “Whence did the myth that The Democratic Party is the party of the people come?”
...the first shot across the bow at Ralph Nader because the 74 year old activist had the gall to give the American people a real choice in the 2008 presidential election.
I listen to a very brilliant radio host almost every day. Thom Hartmann has taught me a great deal. He knows history. One of his callers said that his IQ grows 2 points every time he listens to Hartmann.
Recently, in the fifty-eighth year of my life, I began seriously reading The US Constitution.
the opportunity is palpable.
The message of “Buy Nothing Day” surrounds the consumerism that seems to have overtaken Americans.
...talk me out of giving up.
Like sands through an hour glass, so will be the wars of our lives.
This article is our zeitgeist.
This is, by far, the best song having to do with the government’s 9/11 “conspiracy theory” that I’ve heard to date.
Well, Rob, ya know, bein’ president and all, I can get pretty busy at times.
Mighty menace gathers, designs on depravity.
I found the 24 minute interview both captivating and educational. I think you will, too.
Watch this video and decide for yourself if the people who are talking about hiring practices are or are not in need of a “nanny” to watch over them.
We can’t get enough people to agree on what has to be done to stop the madness in 2007, but too many are still waiting for Congress, whose members are truly protected by The Electoral College, to do something heroic.
Broken Down into its Simplest Form...
Last month, the new chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan, said, “At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept.11, 2001].”
It’s time to start relentlessly catalyzing the mainstream media.
If the mainstream media does not report on this directive, it will be complicit in installing the first self appointed dictator in the history of our nation.
The accolades that Paul is receiving from writers for a Progressive news outlet is very concerning.
And that's just Americans being Americans.
Let silent anger light our flame, let truth guide our way.
Each journey begins with the first step.
If I'm a soldier, I'm insulted.
Excerpt from his book “Where Have All The Leaders Gone?”
(Bush Is Over)
There’s a quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson which says, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
The longer leadership based upon personal wealth continues, the further away the American people will get from having a say about the direction in which their country moves.
This film is chilling on more than one level.
I ask you search for the source compassion in your soul

Not only will our children and grandchildren pay for the ungodly deficit that this war of choice has helped to create, but they may very well pay with their lives.
Until we stop projecting and start looking at what’s true for us now, we are bound to continue to impulsively react to a future that will always be unknown to us.
No one, absolutely no one, should increase his or her economic standing by placing another human being on the road to economic hell!
Just when you thought that The Regime's done the most stupid, horrific thing it can do....
In the 2006 elections, we elected the conservative Democratic Party to displace the even more conservative Republican Party. Voting in The Democrats was akin to running on ice.
Sometimes I think that atheists feel as though they must know The Bible better than Jews or Christians because they must know what it is they don’t accept.
Michael Richards represents a whole lot more people in the FUSA than many may realize.
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin
A member of the World Conditions and Action Items mailing list sent this to me.
All of this because Democrats now hold the purse strings and, if Bush wants to be known as a president who got things done, he’ll have to get done many of the things proposed by the Democrats in congress. Being veto happy will not presuppose a positive legacy.
Let’s hope that Americans have become more enlightened since December of 200
This article is not just meant to be a scary story or the prediction of a nightmare. This was written to generate the question “At what point in this story do the American people revert to some kind of radical next step to stop this from coming to fruition?” and to generate answers to that question.
We need a military to be willing to defend this country. We should be grateful for a military that will defend its fellow American citizens (people) and the land upon which they live.
Osama bin Laden is to 9/11 what Emmanuel Goldstein was to members of The Party in George Orwell’s “1984”.
“Keith Olbermann Terrorized and Gov Tries to Hide It”
Ultimately, CEO compensation has to be reigned in, those CEOs have to rehire American workers and share some of that obscene salary with those American workers.
One person's joke is another person's nightmare.
Unlike the two bogus investigations that have taken place, we want an investigation which begins with the most obvious question, “Who did it?”
...it’s like the proverbial book that can’t be put down.
The stage must be cleared of The Regime’s debris so that we all can see the actors more clearly.
...by fighting some of the social changes that are supported by progressives, corporations are actually acting against their own interests.
Lies can only be effective if people believe them.
How is it that American CEOs can lay American workers off , send their jobs to third world nations and escape being labeled “unpatriotic” by The Regime’s supporters? It’s time to put people ahead of numbers.
Pseudo patriotism is like a religion. Priests, preachers, mullas, elders, whomever, tell you what is evil and warn you to stay away from it. This is why so many right wing individuals were able to criticize “Fahrenheit 911” in great detail without ever seeing it.
I’d like to preface the letter by doing something that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and at least one other man I know personally would never think of doing. I admit that I made a mistake.
This is far from over.
If you want to find out if America is the “greatest country in the world”, ask an American. If you want to know why that is, wait with me.
This is how empires fall.
The Democratic Party is merely the other pant leg on the “red and blue” pair of pants...
Seven....initiatives are showroom models of how The Regime can control the collective mind of its base.
Caution: “The Gospel According to Gyajoaled Walsus” has been known to cause nightmares and make people inquisitively ask, “Huh?”
Jean Rohe is one college student graduating in 2006. She is merely one. Where are the rest…?
First and foremost, Senator Boxer, I ask once again that you become a candidate for president in 2008 and that you make that announcement in a timely manner. The time involved in that manner is now upon us.
I merely wanted to look at all of the possible vision statements and come up with one that seems logical, accomplished, so to speak. I wanted to give The Regime the benefit of the doubt.
I always think that letters to the editor that support our illegal war in Iraq are written by people who can not join the military. I always think that they’re written by people that are too old or have other legitimate reasons for not joining the military.
Between 1992 and today we've all had a civics lesson.
Why am I extracting some satisfaction from the move to put the United Arab Emirates in charge of many of our important ports?
What government, knowing it’s about to be invaded, would hide or move its weapons?
Life travels in only one direction.
I waited for the FDR/JFK type of rousing speech from George W. Bush
“I support a government that is now paying millions of dollars to a corporation without competitors for the purpose of building concentration camps throughout this country.”
...religion is politics and is also political
Or, just maybe, will this be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, the wonderful Peter Finch line in the 1976 movie “Network”: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
I’ve thought about that phrase ever since you inducted me into the club.
Is The Regime legally suspect? Yes. There are several civil suits that have been leveled against The Regime and those suits should be treated as any suit.
And, so, the class struggle continues while The Regime attempts to pawn philanthropy off onto “the private sector”.
“it’s time for a national (second constitutional) convention”
I hope that you can see that there is a response to those who effect anger, sadness and, indeed, disappointment for those of us who'd really rather not experience those emotions.
I haven’t forgotten about 9/11. It was a horrific day in the history of the former United States. We must never forget it.
In spite of what it looks like, your submissions don't get sucked into a black hole. I read them. Now I'll use this rather lengthy essay to respond to some of them, or at least to some of the ideas.
It’s a sad day in the history of this nation when such a grandiosely depraved group of people should be so fiercely protected by those whom that very depravity serves to cripple.
...did you know that much of California rests on a fault line?
...I’m no brain surgeon and it doesn’t take one to see the logic of my argument and the complete vacancy in the arguments that keep morphing, including Tauscher’s politalk.
“One nation under…indivisible”.
That statement, or partial statement, depending upon how one looks at it, is one example of the American divide.
I wrote to Representative Ellen Tauscher some time ago...I was disappointed with her response...
In this horrifically polarized nation of ours, there is indeed one thing that “liberals” and “conservatives”...would benefit from equally and that’s the banishment of the Electoral College.
just thought I'd share a little outrage with you.
Once again, the “liberal” media boosts blind patriotism by depicting “them” as discharging their weaponry indiscriminately, implying that the “allied troops” are careful not to maim or kill anyone who isn’t part of the enemy “insurgency”.
What the hell are we doing in Iraq! What did they ever do to us!
They had no WMD!
They had nothing to do with 9/11!
This is historical revisionism!
“Our government would never do that.”
Never, indeed.
The only politician that I know of that was more secretive and detached than Bush (or Bush’s character), yet garnered the same kind of “obedience” is “Big Brother” in Orwell’s “1984”.
...don’t we wish that more Americans, true Americans, not flag draped, self-anointed “earthly representatives of God”, would feel and express this kind of passion.
...a lot of us aren’t particularly overjoyed that enough people have finally awakened since November of 2000 to help administer Extreme Unction to The Regime.
If you’re a soldier who is fighting in Iraq, how would you feel if you knew that 25% of your countrymen...felt that it would be acceptable for you to be killed?
Why can’t we see that the Democratic Party has made it very clear that it doesn’t represent a progressive platform? Why can’t we see that the Democratic Party is just another arm of The Corporacracy, the real political party which sits atop the government of not only the former United States of America, but most of the world?
Stephen Neitzke, founder of The Direct Democracy League,reminds us of why The Regime's invasion of Iraq is illegal. Neitzke doesn't stop there. He sites US federal law, as well as internation law, to tell us how that atrocious act was, and still is, illegal.
Boxer’s made herself a target of the slime machine with her “extreme” views on society. At present, she seems to be just about the only person with national recognition that may put truth before self-promotion.
Ever since I was 18, the first year that
Eugene McCarthy became an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic Party’s
presidential nomination, I’ve been struggling to find a political party with whom my conscience would allow me to register.
