  • Proud to be Liberal
    14 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Wayne Besen
    One of the great fallacies in modern lore is that liberalism stands for nothing and liberals have no core beliefs. The right wing, from the Pope to the President, has impugned the left by unfairly portraying it as a valueless movement mired in moral relativism.
    This could not be further from the truth. Indeed, the left is the backbone of freedom, the defender of personal liberty, the guarantor of free speech and religious worship and the nurturer of democratic movements (…)

    CORPUS CHRISTI - Vice President Dick Cheney and Austin lawyer Harry Whittington, the Austin lawyer he wounded in a weekend hunting accident, did not have the proper stamp on their hunting licenses to shoot quail, according to a Texas Parks and Wildlife report released today.
    This afternoon Cheney sent a $7 check to the TPWD to pay for the upland game bird stamp, according to the vice-president’s press office.
    A new state law that (…)

    Of course, most of you already know I’ve never been the Vice President’s biggest fan. I’ve often confused him with Lon Cheney, and yes, I’ve had him in my sights before...er, so to speak. But I find it unconscionable that the left wing punditocracy is having such unearned fun over Cheney’s unfortunate hunting accident. I mean who is the victim here? The Vice President, who was deprived of the chance to become a marksman through proper training in Vietnam just (…)

    There is a wonderful (American) TV show that will end its run after many years of entertaining us and giving those who often do not know the inner workings of the White House a lesson on how the executive branch works.
    The show I speak of is "The West Wing." Many people through these past five years have craved a president like President Jeb Bartlet. After all, he is intelligent and speaks in coherent sentences and does not seem to take that many vacations.
    In the (…)

    Dear Ma
    I cannot believe the progress our soldiers are making here in Iraq. I am sitting at a small table in downtown Baghdad (Ali’s),sipping a cool spiced tea and joking with local businessmen. They tell me things couldn’ be better now that George Bush has introduced democracy in their once stife-torn country.
    I have heard reports that the electricity is now up and running 24/7 in almost all parts of Iraq, and there are new schools and hospitals being constructed every day. Those (…)

    Warning to my fellow Americans : Don’t pull the stunt that Dicky Boy pulled over the past weekend. If you were to excessively imbibe of the spirits , accidentally shoot your hunting partner and coverup your misconduct , the men in blue (or black) would be paying a visit to your abode . You would have to hire a lawyer and you would be forced to smile in front of the nice cameraman at the police station on charges of attempted manslaughter or reckless endangement . Owing to the (…)

    by David Swanson
    Can you even imagine Republicans, even if they were in a minority in Congress, debating whether or not to call for the impeachment of a Democratic president known and documented as guilty of a wide range of high crimes and misdemeanors? In particular, if you can imagine that, can you imagine the Republicans who opposed impeachment arguing that they were doing so for strategic political reasons?
    This is hard to imagine, because the Republicans won a majority in Congress (…)
