Fascism only occurs with the LACK of an organized opposition. When you know about PNAC, you know these bastards have been planning these wars et al for a long time. OF course they knew there would be widespread opposition, so they also planned (planted) the opposition.
Consider DemocraticUnderground, after 5 years of BushCo Disaster Capitalism (create a disaster, then capitalize on it), and 80,000 DUers on the case, wouldn’t you think they’d have a virtual encyclopedia of Bush’s Crimes? (…)

I read with great amusement of news conservative "icon" William F. Buckley has now admitted that Operation Iraqi Freedom was a big mistake. It takes a Yale man 3 years to discern that obvious conclusion while the rest of us , the great unwashed , figured out the plot before the massacre commenced. Buckley disingenuously claims Der Fuhrer didn’t place enough boots on the ground to subdue Iraq’s restive masses ..... Such malarkey ..... 80 -90 % of the people of Iraq (…)

By Peter Fredson
March 10, 2006
Looking at the TV news yesterday I was struck by two separate views. One was of George Bush signing a document. He had a big grin on his face, and was obviously ecstatic with his success, badly needed after several months of falling polls. Why did that puzzle me?
First the Republican Senators gave Bush the ability to commit the most outrageous attack on civil rights ever perpetrated in this country against our (…)

USEFUL TRAITS FOR A PRESIDENT
By Peter Fredson
March 9, 2006
It is difficult to find exactly what presidents do. They interact with other humans constantly, using speech as their main tool, attempting to solve social and economic problems by getting other people to do the actual physical or social tasks they recommend, with a reputation based mainly on success in their endeavors. Some are rewarded handsomely with lavish living arrangements, social rituals, servants, and certain (…)

Joseph DuRocher was for 20 years the elected Public Defender of Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, covering Orange and Osceola counties. Since retirement, he’s been writing and teaching law at the University of Central Florida and the Barry University School of Law. He was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy in the 1960s, serving as a Naval Aviator in the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. On Monday, Mr. DuRocher returned his Lieutenant’s shoulder bars and Navy wings to (…)

George W. Bush and his Administration have been so brazen in violating the law and asserting monarchical powers that we, as American citizens, must use the tool that the Constitution provides to reassert our rights, to reset the system of checks and balances, and to reestablish our democracy. That tool is impeachment.
Article II, Section 4, states: “The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, (…)

Here were some of the charges proffered by the US House Judiciary Committee against President Richard Nixon in July 1974 . Accompanying that charge is a similar and often far greater act of presidential malfeasance committed by those two untouchables , President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney ....... 1 ) From Article One 1974 : making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorised investigative officers... of the United States / 2006 : Cheney (…)

With the Rove machine in full blast demonizing anyone who dares speak out against the noble and necessary "Terrorist Surveillance Program", it becomes more clear that Democrats need to strike back. Instead of merely saying that the spying program is illegal and unwarranted, the Dems need to question Bush’s intent. He, of course, says that the purpose of the program is to stop terrorist attacks from occurring on US soil. Democrats need to respond by questioning this intent and push the fact (…)
