  • Banned in Minnesota: Op-ed, " Send Ms. Smith to Washington"
    7 November 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    In the classic movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, mainstream newspapers refuse to publish reports of idealistic Senator Jefferson Smith’s battle against Congressional corruption. Thus, it falls to an informal network of concerned citizens and newspaper boys to get out the truth. Today, fiction became reality as word came that a Minnesota newspaper, the Pioneer Press, has refused to publish an op-ed supportive of Coleen Rowley, Democratic candidate for the 2nd District.
    Clearly, the (…)

    If you truly believe in the pledge of allegiance, hand the GOP a defeat at the polls By Mary MacElveen November 6, 2006
    Tomorrow’s elections will tell us whether or not our fellow Americans truly want a change or live as we have lived since Bush took office. If we are truly a freedom loving people our only moral choice at this point is to stop America from bleeding out.
    I see America as if she were lying on a battlefield mortally wounded. Do we pass her by or act as a medic and (…)

    Agitprop Capital of the World (the USA) Exports Its Poison to Venezuela - by Stephen Lendman
    Agitprop, electoral fraud and dirty tricks may not have been invented in the US, but they certainly were perfected in "the land of the free and home of the brave" that no longer is except in the mind’s eye of a diminishing number of diehards, true-believers and others still unaware of the real state of things in America. The clearest evidence was the theft of the last two presidential elections (…)

    My fellow Amerikans:
    Well, as we come down to the wire we must remember the lesson of 9/11 (just what IS that?).
    Anyway, it is beginning to look like the slimey Democrats are going to prevail in the House races. I am sorry to hear this. This means that Commie b..ch Pelosi,who marches in parades with gays and hates our troops, will try to give me a bad time. Phooey!
    Hey, gang!, I’m not that bad of a guy! I’ve got a nice wife and two daughters, like to clear brush at Crawford and have (…)

    As a former Republican, I would never support Peter King and Joe Lieberman By Mary MacElveen November 4, 2006
    Every morning, I check the stats on my blog to see which articles are resonating with my readers it helps me focus on what issues are important and issues that are not. As I checked the stats this morning, my jaw dropped as I saw that my piece “February 15th, 2003: Little did we know” was read by 444 people. You may ask why this surprises me. I have written for sites such as (…)

    Is Air Force One Public Property?
    By Peter Fredson
    November 3, 2006
    For several days I have watched “Air Force One”, a beautiful blue plane, land and saw George Bush step out onto campaign platforms. The plane forms an impressive backdrop for a sleazy partisan effort.
    I wondered how the costs of transporting Bush and his people, (staff, security, agents, etc.) were passed on to the taxpayer or if any were reimbursed by Republicans to the Treasury.
    I wondered if this violated any (…)

    As Democrats, we must not fear in speaking of God By Mary MacElveen November 3, 2006
    If we are to believe that we live in a country based upon Christian values in which Bush and those like him wear God on their sleeve, as evident with the war in Iraq, in which Bush and the Republicans have broken some of the Ten Commandments. We must face up to the fact; we have not been living up to our Christian values. The reason why I only mention Christianity is because most that have led this (…)

    What character has the GOP shown us? Stick with Alan Hevesi in the NY State Comptrollers race By Mary MacElveen November 2, 2006
    In his latest column, Lawrence C. Levy of Newsday calls upon the Democrats to show character when it comes to whom they shall vote for in the NY State Comptroller race.
    In his column, he writes “But Democrats must show character and courage. Character, to look beyond party labels and cut loose a guy they have supported for years. And courage, because a vote (…)

    Redford To Democrats: Show More Courage
    WASHINGTON — The Sundance Kid gathered up the nerve to jump off a cliff with Butch Cassidy. Now, he wants Democrats to show similar backbone.
    "Democrats need to regain the courage that’s lost with political compromises over the last few years," actor and environmental activist Robert Redford said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. "They’ve got to get it together. If they don’t, it will not only be a tragedy for them, but a tragedy (…)

    Why should Americans vote Republican? By Mary MacElveen November 1, 2006
    In hopes that this column will reach those who are more inclined to vote Republican in the upcoming midterm elections, I want to ask you flat out, why should any voter even entertain voting Republican? What hope have your candidates given to the American people as many continue to suffer from despair?
    As many Americans grow bone weary of the war in Iraq and are beginning to wise up, this war has only delivered (…)
