What are they afraid of?
So the administration has been holding back on the 9/11 commission? Seems they are holding some 12,000 documents from the Clinton administration, the last legally elected and installed president of these United States, documents which President Clinton released to the committee. Well I know I am shocked! When will the people finally understand that this group of miscreants and thugs in the White House have no more interest in getting to the bottom of what happened on that fateful day then they would swimming to the bottom of a cesspool. Wait, they are swimming at the bottom of a cesspool, a cesspool of lies in fact, lies by obfuscation, lies of omission, lies of every sort imaginable. When will the people finally realise that this group of fascists are no more interested in democracy than is the Saud family. God please, please let John Kerry win the election so we can have a real independent investigation of the events of 9/11. Perhaps then we can mete out justice to the criminals of the Bush regime, starting with the unelected poseur himself. Thank God for Richard Clarke, at last, an honest man, a man of courage. A true patriot! Who Flip flops? President Bush: Flip-Flopper-In-Chief From the beginning, George W. Bush has made his own credibility a central issue. On 10/11/00, then Governor Bush said: "I think credibility is important. It is going to be important for the president to be credible with Congress, important for the president to be credible with foreign nations." But President Bush's serial flip-flopping raises serious questions about whether Congress and foreign leaders can rely on what he says. 1. Department of Homeland Security BUSH OPPOSES THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY..."So, creating a Cabinet office doesn't solve the problem. You still will have agencies within the federal government that have to be coordinated. So the answer is that creating a Cabinet post doesn't solve anything." [White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, 3/19/02] ...BUSH SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY "So tonight, I ask the Congress to join me in creating a single, permanent department with an overriding and urgent mission: securing the homeland of America and protecting the American people." [President Bush, Address to the Nation, 6/6/02] 2. Weapons of Mass Destruction BUSH SAYS WE FOUND THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION..."We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories?for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them." [President Bush, Interview in Poland, 5/29/03] ...BUSH SAYS WE HAVEN'T FOUND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION "David Kay has found the capacity to produce weapons. And when David Kay goes in and says we haven't found stockpiles yet, and there's theories as to where the weapons went. They could have been destroyed during the war. Saddam and his henchmen could have destroyed them as we entered into Iraq. They could be hidden. They could have been transported to another country, and we'll find out." [President Bush, Meet the Press, 2/7/04] 3. Free Trade BUSH SUPPORTS FREE TRADE... "I believe strongly that if we promote trade, and when we promote trade, it will help workers on both sides of this issue." [President Bush in Peru, 3/23/02] ...BUSH SUPPORTS RESTRICTIONS ON TRADE "In a decision largely driven by his political advisers, President Bush set aside his free-trade principles last year and imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel to help out struggling mills in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, two states crucial for his reelection." [Washington Post, 9/19/03] 4. Osama Bin Laden BUSH WANTS OSAMA DEAD OR ALIVE... "I want justice. And there's an old poster out West, I recall, that says, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'" [President Bush, on Osama Bin Laden, 09/17/01] ...BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OSAMA "I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important." [President Bush, Press Conference, 3/13/02] 5. The Environment BUSH SUPPORTS MANDATORY CAPS ON CARBON DIOXIDE... "[If elected], Governor Bush will work to establish mandatory reduction targets for emissions of four main pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide." [Bush Environmental Plan, 9/29/00] ...BUSH OPPOSES MANDATORY CAPS ON CARBON DIOXIDE "I do not believe, however, that the government should impose on power plants mandatory emissions reductions for carbon dioxide, which is not a 'pollutant' under the Clean Air Act." [President Bush, Letter to Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), 3/13/03] 6. WMD Commission BUSH RESISTS AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION ON WMD INTELLIGENCE FAILURE... "The White House immediately turned aside the calls from Kay and many Democrats for an immediate outside investigation, seeking to head off any new wide-ranging election-year inquiry that might go beyond reports already being assembled by congressional committees and the Central Intelligence Agency." [NY Times, 1/29/04] ...BUSH SUPPORTS AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATION ON WMD INTELLIGENCE FAILURE "Today, by executive order, I am creating an independent commission, chaired by Governor and former Senator Chuck Robb, Judge Laurence Silberman, to look at American intelligence capabilities, especially our intelligence about weapons of mass destruction." [President Bush, 2/6/04] 7. Creation of the 9/11 Commission BUSH OPPOSES CREATION OF INDEPENDENT 9/11 COMMISSION... "President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11." [CBS News, 5/23/02] ...BUSH SUPPORTS CREATION OF INDEPENDENT 9/11 COMMISSION "President Bush said today he now supports establishing an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks." [ABC News, 09/20/02] 8. Time Extension for 9/11 Commission BUSH OPPOSES TIME EXTENSION FOR 9/11 COMMISSION... "President Bush and House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) have decided to oppose granting more time to an independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks." [Washington Post, 1/19/04] ...BUSH SUPPORTS TIME EXTENSION FOR 9/11 COMMISSION "The White House announced Wednesday its support for a request from the commission investigating the September 11, 2001 attacks for more time to complete its work." [CNN, 2/4/04] 9. One Hour Limit for 9/11 Commission Testimony BUSH LIMITS TESTIMONY IN FRONT OF 9/11 COMMISSION TO ONE HOUR... "President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have placed strict limits on the private interviews they will grant to the federal commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that they will meet only with the panel's top two officials and that Mr. Bush will submit to only a single hour of questioning, commission members said Wednesday." [NY Times, 2/26/04] ...BUSH SETS NO TIMELIMIT FOR TESTIMONY: "The president's going to answer all of the questions they want to raise. Nobody's watching the clock." [White House spokesman Scott McClellan, 3/10/04] 10. Gay Marriage BUSH SAYS GAY MARRIAGE IS A STATE ISSUE... "The state can do what they want to do. Don't try to trap me in this state's issue like you're trying to get me into." [Gov. George W. Bush on Gay Marriage, Larry King Live, 2/15/00] ...BUSH SUPPORTS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BANNING GAY MARRIAGE "Today I call upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife." [President Bush, 2/24/04] 11. Nation Building BUSH OPPOSES NATION BUILDING... "If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road." [Gov. George W. Bush, 10/3/00] ...BUSH SUPPORTS NATION BUILDING "We will be changing the regime of Iraq, for the good of the Iraqi people." [President Bush, 3/6/03] 12. Saddam/al Qaeda Link BUSH SAYS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEEN AL QAEDA AND SADDAM... "You can't distinguish between al Qaeda and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror." [President Bush, 9/25/02] ...BUSH SAYS SADDAM HAD NO ROLE IN AL QAEDA PLOT "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in Sept. 11." [President Bush, 9/17/03] 13. U.N. Resolution BUSH VOWS TO HAVE A UN VOTE NO MATTER WHAT... "No matter what the whip count is, we're calling for the vote. We want to see people stand up and say what their opinion is about Saddam Hussein and the utility of the United Nations Security Council. And so, you bet. It's time for people to show their cards, to let the world know where they stand when it comes to Saddam." [President Bush 3/6/03] ...BUSH WITHDRAWS REQUEST FOR VOTE: "At a National Security Council meeting convened at the White House at 8:55 a.m., Bush finalized the decision to withdraw the resolution from consideration and prepared to deliver an address to the nation that had already been written." [Washington Post, 3/18/03] 14. Involvement in the Palestinian Conflict BUSH OPPOSES SUMMITS... "Well, we've tried summits in the past, as you may remember. It wasn't all that long ago where a summit was called and nothing happened, and as a result we had significant intifada in the area." [President Bush, 04/05/02] ...BUSH SUPPORTS SUMMITS "If a meeting advances progress toward two states living side by side in peace, I will strongly consider such a meeting. I'm committed to working toward peace in the Middle East." [President Bush, 5/23/03] 15. Campaign Finance BUSH OPPOSES MCCAIN-FEINGOLD... "George W. Bush opposes McCain-Feingold...as an infringement on free expression." [Washington Post, 3/28/2000] ...BUSH SIGNS MCCAIN-FEINGOLD INTO LAW "[T]his bill improves the current system of financing for Federal campaigns, and therefore I have signed it into law." [President Bush, at the McCain-Feingold singing ceremony, 03/27/02]

The hopelessness and the dispair over the plight of her family can be multiplied over a million times across this nation. All thanks to the policies of Bush and his gang of criminals. More comments on the column. Remember, YOU could be next in Bush's America, and much sooner than you think. Be sure to vote in November, because your future really does depend on it. ** Vote Democrat ** One Year It has been one year since since George Bush and his cohort of vandals unleashed the illegal invasion of Iraq, ostensibly to prevent Saddam Hussein from using his WMD on us. Over the past year, while this maladministration has run up one lie after another regarding the reasons for going to war, one thing has remained constant, our finest, bravest men and women continue to be killed and horribly maimed. To say nothing of the thousands of innocent Iraqis who have suffered the same fate. The truly sad thing about all of this is that there is no end in sight, the killing and maiming will continue unabated until we have left Iraq in the hands of the Iraqi people. Given that we seem not to have a plan or the inclination for leaving, the oil you know, it would seem that we shall be in for another dose of the Vietnam effect. To be sure, it is highly unlikely that we will lose some 50,000 dead in Iraq, but losing one, two or more soldiers a day is unacceptable, especially if those being lost are your loved ones. This war was not about oil but has anyone seen an accounting of the oil that has been sold as of this date? Where has the money gone? Is it being used for the Iraqi people or is it being skimmed away by the criminal friends of our unelected squatter? We need to demand an accounting of the Iraqi oil sales, we need to demand an accounting of the monies given to Haliburton and the other friends of Bush-Cheney for their "work" in Iraq. Plan for the future? Former General Tommy Franks has noted, according to newsmax.com that if there is another attack on the US, an attack involving WMD and massive loss of life, the likely result would be the "scrapping of the constitution" for some form of martial law. Isn't that an eye opener! He didn't say that such a step would be wrong and resisted by the military as well as right thinking citizens nationwide, in fact he seemed to think the citizenry would demand such a military take over. Where in God's name do we find such men? Every person in the military, enlisted and officer, takes a solemn oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. So how does that square with the good general's remarks? Read further and he also notes that George Bush is a man of homor and good character. With such powers of observation perhaps his shocking words are not a surprise after all nor is it any surprise that there seemed not to be a plan for the post war period, other than protect the Iraqi oil assets for the likes of Haliburton. Is it any real wonder that, with such a mind in charge, we have yet to find Saddam, although the good Gerneral insists that it will happen. Eventually, sometime, perhaps when pig's fly? The big question from all of this is how much of a trial balloon are the comments of the good general? How many of the traitors in positions of national leadership today are waiting for such an event? How many are wishing for such an event? Another question is why haven't we heard any news of the repugnant remarks of General Franks? Perhaps it was only meant for the extreme right wing web sites, those frequented by the ultra patriots, those who proclaim a love for this country and the constitution yet by their continuing actions, show such proclamations to be lies. Meanwhile ever more of our soldiers are paying the price in blood for the actions of the miscreant installed in the White House. At what point do we say enough? At what point do we, as a nation, rise up against the criminals and misfits who are currently destroying our nation? The time has come, no, the time has long since passed to turn these unamerican traitors out of office. Pray that 2004 will, indeed, bring an election, that it will not be postponed or cancelled, but we must also be prepared to get out and do our duty as patriotic Americans to oppose any such move as described by General Franks. These are times that try men's souls but I fear the truly trying times are yet to come. I fear that we, as a nation, shall have to face down the tyranny of those who would subvert our constitution on the crucible of fascism. Democracy in Peril. Regarding this maladministration's classification of illegal combatant: Would not the Partisan fighters of France, Denmark, the low countries, Poland, Hungary, etc. (you get the picture) during WW2 be classified as such? Are we then to change the opinion of history regarding these patriots? Are we emulating the NAZI treatment of Partisans with our immoral and unAmerican treatment of the so-called illegal combatants? The answer to the former is, of course, no. The answer to the latter question is, unfortunately, yes. To our detriment, this is not the only example of our government emulating that which we found so vile in the NAZI philosophy. As in NAZI Germany, we are told that to disagree with our leader is to be unpatriotic. As in NAZI Germany, we are told that dissent, in any form, is wrong and places us against America. As in NAZI Germany, we are encouraged not to ask questions regarding national goals and objectives. As in NAZI Germany, we are asked to give up a growing number of our civil rights in the name of security. George W. Bush differs from Adolph E. Hitler in a number of ways. Hitler was intelligent, served his country honorably in WW1, etc. George W. Bush shares none of these attributes and in fact is a slacker who has depended on his family to come to his rescue throughout his entire life and his disappearing act from a powder puff National Guard unit in Texas during the Vietnam War is a matter of public record. George W. Bush is similar to Adolph E. Hitler in a number of ways as well. Hitler used God in his speeches, constantly spoke of his concern for the common man, found a never ending roster of enemies with which to frighten the people. The evil men surrounding this miscreant are as intelligent as he is ignorant, as cunning as he is clumsy and as single minded in their vision of a fascist America as Hitler and his henchmen ever were in their quest for world domination for NAZI Germany. Americans have thought for years that it (Fascism, totalitarianism, etc.) can't happen here, well I have news folks, not only can it happen here, it is already happening. That is to say, it began then with the lack of ethics, honor, integrity and a signal willingness to lie about everything with such frequency and stridency that it made Joseph Goebbels and the NAZI "Big Lie Theory" seem crude and unsophisticated by comparison. It began when the lies and deceptions began to convince at first weak minded, undereducated individuals and then, by sheer repetiveness aided and abetted by the media such as Fox News, it began to convince many who knew better, much as the many good Germans of 1933 who began to get convinced by the endlessly repeated Big Lie regarding Gypsies, Jews and Poles, etc.. The criminals that occupy the seat of power in our country today are corrupting our nation every bit as much as Hitler and his NAZI henchmen corrupted Germany. The "war" on Iraq is only the first in a planned series of such wars designed to exercise our control over the world in the 21st century as much as Hitler's plan of war was designed to exercise his control over Europe in the last century. The war on Iraq has come and gone. The occupation of Iraq has begun. Why were there enough troops to secure the Oil Ministry and the Ministry of the Interior in Baghdad, yet not enough to safeguard the museum? Why was it the job of our military to protect the Oil Ministry and the Ministry of the Interior in Baghdad, yet not the job of our military to protect the museum? The hotels? The people? Simple question, simple answer. Oil. The Iraqi army didn't use chemical weapons, they didn't use biological weapons, they didn't use any weapons of mass destruction. Why? They didn't have any. We have looked and continue to look for something, anything that could be construed as WMDs. To no avail, now we will flood the country with people looking for the WMDs and they shall find them, even if they have to bring them into the country. That there have been no discoveries of WMD would seem to put the lie to the claims of the maladmistration knowing where they were. Remember? We knew that they had such weapons, we knew. Now the drumbeat against Syria has begun. They are now accused of having WMDs as well as allowing Saddam and company entry for travel to points unknown. They are also saying that Syria has the WMD of Iraq (which is why we cannot seem to find any in Iraq). We know this. We know this, much as we knew of such things in Iraq. What I know, is that the traitorous cowards controlling our government have it in them to take over the middle east in the opening moves toward a PAX Americana. This will mean the death knell of America as we have known it, a democratic republic, and the birth of an American fascist state with designs of empire. Syria, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. each in their turn shall feel the wrath of American military might. America is going the way of ancient Rome, it has already begun. It began in earnest when a criminal court performed a late term abortion on Election 2000 and appointed the loser to occupy the White House. The second phase was with Election 2002 and the widespread use of touch screen voting, sans hardcopy records of votes cast, built by companies that are heavy supporters of the republican right. Election 2002 was noteworthy for the many "upsets" that occurred, virtually all in favor of the republican right wing candidate. Stories of people complaining of their voting democrat but the machine registering republican were suppressed in the major media. Such is the result when the software controlling the operation of the machines and the counting of the votes are denied public scrutiny because of "proprietory" considerations. Anyone with even the slightest experience with computers and programming know just how easy it would be to have the machines deliver any result one wished. I say here and now, for the record, that if there are enough touch screen voting machines available in the country in time for the election of 2004, the vote will be overwhelmingly republican, even in the so-called Blue states. If there are not enough of the machines in place on election day than the election will be delayed due to another "terrorist" attack, an attack that will make September 11, 2001 seem like a Sunday School picnic and stir the fear and emotion of the American people as never before. Those who consider themselves republicans or conservatives will be in for a rude awakening within two years when the true colors of these fascists become painfully apparent. Only then will they realize just how badly they have been duped by this filthy band of criminals. Only then will we all realize that the beacon of freedom, hope and democracy has been extinguished and the last, best hope of mankind, a democratic America, has been subverted and overthrown by the fascists among us. Politics So it is upatriotic to call for "regime change" in the US? So it is unamerican to critize the president and his policies? I would advise these right wingers, rabid conservative hypocrites all to visit history and see who was it that described FDR as an, "tired old man with a cabinet of tired old men" before getting on the high horse of McCarthyism. In the midst of WW2, in a fight for our very existence, there was an election complete with campaigns and the words above uttered by Thomas E. Dewey the republican nominee. So it would seem then that the true unamerican scum here is the republican right for it is they who would stifle dissent in the name of patriotism. Could it be because their ideas and philosophy cannot stand in honest debate but must be masked by personal attacks and obfuscation, setting up one straw man after another to be knocked down, but never, ever debating what really counts, their failed policies and positions? |
"To announce that
there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by
the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is
morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt
Perhaps the case was best made by a Republican president -- Theodore Roosevelt
-- who said, "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand
by the president or any other public official."
Roosevelt expanded on that theme when he wrote in an editorial for the "Kansas City
Star" newspaper on May 7, 1918 -- while World War I raged -- that:
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public
servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is
warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency
in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell
the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame
him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude
in an American citizen is both base and servile.
To announce that there must be
no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right
or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to
the American public.
Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any
one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant,
about him than about any one else."

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." By: Hermann Goering (1893-1946) Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, President of the Reichstag, Prime Minister of Prussia and, as Hitler's designated successor, the second man in the Third Reich. Date: April 18, 1946 Source: Gustave Gilbert, in his book Nuremberg Diary Courtesy of: http://www.snopes2.com/quotes/goering.htm Categories: Communism, Constitution, Drugs, Fear, Freedom, Government, Individual Rights, Justice, Law, NWO, Peace, Police, Politics, Power, Propaganda, Psycho-politics, Society, Usurpation, War, Liberty, Terrorism, Civil Rights Thoughts on dissent. To the disgraceful, unethical, amoral, right wingnut, ditto-monkeys who think that free speech only applies as long as it is in agreement with, or giving support to, the cowardly, vile, craven little man occupying the People's House in Washington, I offer the following: "Beware of the leader, who strikes the war drum in order to transfer the citizens into patriotic glow, patriotism is indeed a double-sided sword. It makes the blood so boldly, like it constricts the intellect. And if the striking of the war drum reached a fiebrige height and the blood is cooking and hating, and the intellect is dismissed, the leader doesn't need to reject the citizens rights. The citizens, cought by anxiety and blinded through patriotism, will subordinate all their rights to the leader and this even with happy courage. Why do I know that? I know it, because this is, what I did. And I am Gajus Julius Cäsar." "Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive." Henry Steele Commager "Here in America we are descended in spirit from revolutionaries and rebels -- men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine." Dwight D. Eisenhower "How you can win the population for war: At first, the statesman will invent cheap lying, that impute the guilt of the attacked nation, and each person will be happy over this deceit, that calm the conscience. It will study it detailed and refuse to test arguments of the other opinion. So he will convince step for step even therefrom that the war is just and thank God, that he, after this process of grotesque even deceit, can sleep better." Mark Twain
