    Murtha Speaks Truth To Bush’s Lies By Bill Gallagher November 22, 2005 Detroit - Privately, President George W. Bush is having a political panic attack as he retreats to his cocoon, seeking comfort from his nannies. Babs, his mommy, wife Laura, Condi Rice and Karen Hughes serve as his ladies in waiting, assuring our courageous leader that the boo-boos he gets on his head will get better and those bad boys criticizing his war are just meanies who don’t like him. Vice President Dick (…)

  • Hugo Chavez and the Crawford Madman

    Hugo Chavez seems to take great pleasure in tweaking George Bush’s nose. He’s repeatedly called Bush a "terrorist" and disparaged the US as a "terrorist state". Just last week, Chavez fired off another broadside saying, "The planet’s most serious danger is the government of the United States...The people of the United States are being governed by a killer, a genocidal murderer, and a madman."
    He got that right.
    For liberals and leftists Chavez’s fiery salvos have been a welcome respite (…)

    Next year, we should all go to the polls and vote against every single incumbent running for re-election, regardless of his or her party or so-called philosophy.
    Can you understand what a shock it would be if all 435 members of the U.S. House and the third of the Senate that will be running were defeated? Washington would never be the same again, and that, on its face, would be a good thing.
    I know most folks feel about their congressional representative or senator the way most parents (…)

    MURDEROUS LEADERS
    By Peter Fredson
    November 21, 2005
    History has long passages referring to the murderous inclinations of politicians. Just read the HISTORY OF THE PERSIAN WARS by Herodotus if you wish to get a feeling of revulsion at the senseless murders of many thousands of people because of the whims of leaders seeking power.
    Perhaps you have heard of a leader of Haiti who marched a troop of soldiers over a cliff just to demonstrate to a visitor their absolute loyalty to him? (…)

    In a shocking but nevertheless not surprising maneuver U.S. House Republicans are attempting to introduce a bill that will cause serious damage to the already precarious existence of the nation’s 37 million poor.
    In a multi-pronged attack the Republicans have endeavered to target the safety net that the nation’s children and those living in poverty rely on.
    Programs targeted include food stamps, school lunch programs, student aid for college, child support (…)

    President George W Bush tried to make a quick exit from a news conference in Beijing on Sunday - only to find himself thwarted by locked doors.
    The president strode away from reporters looking annoyed after one said he appeared "off his game".
    President Bush tugged at both handles on the double doors before admitting: "I was trying to escape. Obviously, it didn’t work."
    Mr Bush flies to Mongolia on Monday to complete his East Asia tour.

Perle claimed Saudi Arabia was no ally of the United States and that the Saudi royal family had allowed terrorist ideology to flourish within its borders and beyond. He (…)

  • McKinney: Republicans seek to silence dissent on Iraq war

    The Republicans in this House have done a heinous thing: they have insulted one of the deans of this House in an unthinkable and unconscionable way.
    They took his words and contorted them; they took his heartfelt sentiments and spun them. They took his resolution and deformed it: in a cheap effort to silence dissent in the House of Representatives.
    The Republicans should be roundly criticized for this reprehensible act. They have perpetrated a fraud on the House of Representatives (…)

    ​​​​Although I have a couple problems with Hugo Chávez, I love it when he tells the truth, especially when it is so difficult to get the truth here in Bushzarro world, a criminal nation with a corporate media filtering system allergic to the truth. "The planet’s most serious danger is the government of the United States.... The people of the United States are being governed by a killer, a genocidal murderer and a madman," Chávez (…)
