  • Linda McQuaig says standing up to U.S. will gain us respect abroad

    It’s now clear how the Bush administration sees things: Canadian sovereignty exists only at its pleasure. If we do what Washington wants, we retain our sovereignty. If we don’t, all bets are off.
    This is what U.S. ambassador Paul Cellucci clarified last week in his angered response to Paul Martin’s announcement that Canada won’t join the U.S. missile defence scheme. Cellucci noted that Washington would simply deploy its anti-missile system over Canadian airspace anyway, and expressed (…)

  • $9 Billion lost, Halliburton Looting, and Bush wants $82 Billion more?

    by Ben Frank
    The United States interim government, the CPA, run by Paul Bremer, and Dick Cheney’s firm Halliburton have been shamed by whistleblowers documenting blatant fraud. The whistleblowers have provided evidence of massive, systematic (ie intentional) fraud at Halliburton. The US Inspector General just reported $9 billion is missing, the CPA lost it - no trace of it whatsoever - yet Bush and his lapdog Congress want our children to pay $82 billion more for this illegal and immoral (…)

    I’m not a real Democrat, I just play one on tv.
    Im really fed up with the pathetic assortment of Democratic Party leaders were subjected to nowadays. Pitiful few can even remember what are party stands for. Goodness gracious, dont mention poverty or homelessness. That makes you a dreaded liberal. Dont say youre against the war in Iraq. That makes you a freedom-hater. Dont whisper that unions might be good for Wal-Mart workers, that means you hate anyone who owns a business. Dont say (…)

    "Bush’s lies put these forces at risk in an illegal war of aggression. He treated our military personnel as if they were expendable cannon fodder.."
    By Ron Forthofer, Ph.D.
    The Bush administration claims that the U.S. attack on and occupation of Iraq is part of the ’war on terrorism’. This claim is highly dubious, to put it mildly.
    Before the U.S. attack, there was no substantive connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. In fact, Saddam and Osama bin Laden could be said to have (…)

  • Defying U.S. , Venezuela’s Chavez Embraces Socialism

    By Pascal Fletcher
    Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday embraced socialism as his ideology of choice in a political statement that sharpened his antagonism against the United States.
    Chavez, a firebrand nationalist who has governed the world’s No. 5 oil exporter for six years, has persistently declined to define the precise ideology of his self-styled "revolution."
    But, addressing an international meeting on poverty in Caracas, he said Western-style capitalism was incapable of (…)

    Here are some other things you must also believe if you believe that Duh-bya won the election:
    1- That the exit polls were WRONG.
    2- That Zogby’s 5pm election day calls for Kerry winning OH and FL were WRONG. He was exactly RIGHT in his 2000 final poll.
    3- That Harris’ last minute polling for Kerry was WRONG. He was exactly RIGHT in his 2000 final poll.
    4- That the Incumbent Rule (that undecideds break for the challenger) was WRONG.
    5- That the 50% Rule was WRONG (that an incumbent (…)

  • Negroponte’s dark past disqualifies him today
    25 February 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The American public may take comfort in U.S. President George W. Bush’s decision last week to nominate John D. Negroponte as the first director of national intelligence (DNI). The position was created in response to recommendations put forth by the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. It found coordination among the 15 different U.S. intelligence agencies lacking. The DNI will be tasked with mediating turf wars (between the CIA and FBI, among others), (…)

    I got lucky the other day. (No, I’m not talking about that kind of lucky. What do you think I am, a “family values” Republican at convention?)
    What I mean is that I was fortunate to meet a couple of real-life patriots: Stephen and Virginia Pearcy. They’re the folks who live one neighborhood over from me whose recent anti-war displays at their house sparked some, um, discussion — both locally and nationally.
    Well, not exactly discussion discussion. More like brainless name-calling and (…)
