    HATRED OR UNDYING LOVE?
    By Peter Fredson
    September 13, 2005
    I spend much time reviewing my computer files, which now occupy about 5 gigabytes of space, to see how things started and to try and prognosticate how they might end. While looking at the Bill Clinton years I am impressed at the hatred expressed against him by Republicans, certainly tantamount to their hatred toward Franklyn Delano Roosevelt. Intense, bitter, vicious, nasty, seething and immensely personal. All the Bush (…)

    It’s hard to imagine that all things bad with america and americans can be personified by one person " George Bush ". All I can say is the more you rant and rave that only the president is at fault and to blame for an "act of God ", the more apparent and ridiculouse you cry babies appear. All I can say is listen to reason or no one will hear your stupidity. Why not throw away another election or any chance at one.
    Consider this. 1) The moron that released the prisoners into the Superdome, (…)

    (This is a continuation of “Correction: Venezuela’s Chavez Fuels a Class War”. For the full string please refer to that article and the posted responses.)
    At least five generations of the Jaramillo family have been born and bred in the farmlands of Tucupido, right down the road from Barbacoa, the village where Hugo Chavez was born.
    My grandfather, “Abuelo Pancho”, was a farmer (in those days farming was done with a burro and rastro) who worked very hard to provide for his wife and six (…)

    Rep McKinney Special Order Censored??? By Rep Cynthia McKinney
    I mentioned the word impeachment on the House Floor Thursday late afternoon, but I don’t see it in the official Congressional Record transcript. I was chided by the Speaker that it was out of order to question the President’s motives. I didn’t question motives, I questioned actions: from lack of actions on Katrina to cutting the budget of safety net programs, to rewarding the rich to the detriment of all the rest of us. This (…)

    Congressman’s gavel was tempting...but
    by Greg Lloyd Smith
    NEW YORK, NY — (OfficialWire) — 09/12/05 — I got a call Friday from a representative of the Business Advisory Council on behalf of Representative Thomas M. Reynolds (shown here), 26th District of New York. To say the least, I was surprised. Anyone who knows me, knows that these are not my people. So why were they calling me?
    Anyway, today, I returned the call and spoke to someone who played a recorded message from Congressman (…)

    In an open letter on Rense.com, Senator McKinley speaks her mind on the House floor, says the "Impeachment" word and gets censored for it. Lets get the ball rolling and urge our representatives to follow suite and show support for her. I don’t care that she’s not from my state. In matters like these there are no borders.

    Bush’s Cavalier Attitude Contributed To Magnitude Of Hurricane Disaster John Hanchette September 06, 2005 Olean, NY - Scientists might well start researching the question: Are questionable reactions to foreign crises, wars, hurricanes and the economy genetic? The degree to which George W. Bush’s presidency is mirroring his father’s, and magnifying it, seems to indicate the answer is a ringing YES.
    While Dubya’s dad tended to respond a bit more rapidly when huge crises developed for the (…)

    Tough Decisions Elude President Bill Gallagher September 06, 2005 Detroit - "Keep the damn federal government off our backs and out of our lives!" That’s been the battle cry of conservative Southern politicians for generations. The cry was usually code for their opposition to civil rights. In rural areas of the South, the federal government was despised for sending revenue agents to break up their beloved moonshine stills and forcing the locals to buy taxed booze. They hate government, (…)
