    PRAISE BE
    By Peter Fredson
    February 7, 2006
    We are at War. Terror is lurking in every corner to destroy American cities, factories, and people. It is those crazy fanatical Muslims that are to blame. They hate democracy, liberty and Americans.
    We don’t know why they hate us so much. Our President is doing his courageous best to cope with this terrible danger for everybody.
    Yet he has critics with niggling objections to his determined strategy of fighting Muslims where they live (…)

    We who are on the left in America are dumbfounded (as, I suppose, are many citizens in other countries), by the indifference and apathy by a healthy percentage of our fellow countrymen when it comes to challenging the destructive politics of the Bush Administration.
    I suppose it is just human nature not to focus on government actions which we feel...often correctly..we cannot change. But there is a tipping point, and I believe we’ve reached it.
    On the one hand we have the zombie hoards, (…)

    HENDERSON, Nev. - Former President Jimmy Carter criticized the Bush administration’s domestic eavesdropping program Monday and said he believes the president has broken the law.
    "Under the Bush administration, there’s been a disgraceful and illegal decision - we’re not going to the let the judges or the Congress or anyone else know that we’re spying on the American people," Carter told reporters. "And no one knows how many innocent Americans have had their privacy violated under this (…)

    press conference Questioner Helen Thomas...
    Q Does the President think he should obey the law? He put his hand on the Bible twice to uphold the Constitution. Wiretapping is not legal under the circumstances without a warrant.
    MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I guess you didn’t pay attention to the Attorney General’s hearing earlier today, because he walked through very clearly the rationale behind this program. And, Helen, I think you have to ask are we a nation at war —
    Q There is no rationale to (…)

  • Too few answers on domestic spying: ATTORNEY GENERAL’S DEFENSES RING HOLLOW

    Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ defense Monday of President Bush’s order to authorize warrantless spying on Americans failed to shed much light on the deeply disturbing program.
    Gonzales sparred with skeptical senators over the significant question of the program’s legality. On that point, he repeated the dubious arguments made by Bush and his defenders in recent weeks that the program was authorized by law and by the Constitution. He gave only vague explanations for why the president (…)

  • IS BUSH QAEDA CRAZY? UNITARY DICTATOR & SELF CREATED ENEMIES SPREAD "DEMOCRACY"
    7 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Meet Mr. Bush’s "Al Qaeda" . They’re the good terrorists. Why? Our unitary Executive says so. He is God’s ambassador on Earth - and if we dare disagree with his push for worldwide democracy a stay in Gitmo is a distinct possibility. 1) Mr. Bush currently harbors the Cambodian Freedom Fighters http://www.alternet.org/story/12073 2 ) The very top levels of the Bush administration are engaging in a secret entente with the State Dept. recognized terrorist group , Islamic (…)

    LET IT BE KNOWN Propagandized stupider than the fates will allow
    Let it be known, that the senior management national news reducers of CBC and CNN, know full well, they would rather watch American Soldiers die as the thieving bad guys, than to defend God’s America by reporting that the demon enemy George W. Bush, and his business partner General Ahmad, committed the terrorist acts of 9/11, along with Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, and Myers.

    Homeland Security has begun exercising its new power to ’identify’ the contents of your safe deposit box.
    This news should be seen in the context of the many rumors floating around on the internet.
    The so-called temporary re-authorization of the PATRIOT I and II legislation included the power, which gives the Department of Homeland Security an unprecedented power to ’identify’ assets held in citizens’ private safe deposit boxes.
    This, by the way, was in the so-called (…)

    A Berlusconi victory would be as damaging as was Bush’s
    by Tristram Hunt
    In typically vulgar style, Silvio Berlusconi committed himself last week to sexual abstinence until the Italian general election on April 9. Unfortunately, Mrs Berlusconi’s well-earned break promises to come at the expense of European politics. For a determined Berlusconi could well win himself another term in office.
    Some 15 months ago the global progressive community headed to America in a forlorn attempt to (…)
