Does anyone remember George Bush saying “stay the course”?  I swear I remember something like that…

Here is a video montage of our President telling an outright lie to the American people.  This fuckin guy in unbelievable.  “I was never stay the course“.  No, of course you weren’t.  You just said it a million times and had every other Republican ass basket repeating the phrase for the last 3 years.  This is an attempt to revise history and is probably one of the most obvious attempts to do so.  These people are crooks, liars, and a scourge on this country’s Democratic values.  WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Are we at war with Eurasia? I forget… Is it time for our Two Minutes Hate? 1984 anyone?

sometimes I wonder who will be there when it ends sometimes I wonder what the point of it all is Sometimes I find that people fail you in life sometimes I find those fleeting moments are strife Sometimes I think can’t I turn it all around sometimes I think could this be where I am found Sometimes I hate for reasons I justify sometimes I hate for I am terrified to die sometimes I cry I need money I need freedom I need a change I need a vacation I need to love my job I need more free time I need to live with passion Because it could all be over in 40 years

There is much more to come on this, but check out Wikipedia’s entry on Habeas Corpus.  The last time it was suspended was during the Civil War.  I am not convinced that it was right to do then, and am certainly not convinced that it is right to do now.  Regardless, on September 29th, 2006 the Senate approved a billthat would suspend Habeas Corpus if you are determined to be ” an unlawful enemy combatant”. Is this some kind of sick fucking joke?  It is entirely possible now that you could say the wrong thing, protest the wrong politician, or post the wrong thing on your blog, and end up being an “enemy combatant”.  This is not America.  This is not Democracy.  This is a Theocratic Police State and I can’t take it any more.   Here is a list of the 12 Democrats that voted in favor of a Police State:Tom Carper (D-DE)  (202)-224-2441 carper.senate.gov/aemail.htm Tim Johnson(D-SD)  (202) 224-5842 johnson.senate.gov/emailform.cfm Mary Landrieu (D-LA)  (202) 224-5824 landrieu.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)  (202) 224-3224 lautenberg.senate.gov/contact/ Joseph Lieberman (D-CT)  (202) 224-4041 lieberman.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm?regarding=issue Robert Menendez (D-NJ)  (202) 224-4744 menendez.senate.gov/contact/contact.cfm Bill Nelson (D-FL)  (202) 224-5274 billnelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Benjamin Nelson (D-NE)  (202) 224-6551 bennelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Mark Pryor (D-AR)  (202) 224-2353 pryor.senate.gov/contact/ John Rockefeller (D-WV)  (202) 224-6472 rockefeller.senate.gov/services/email.cfm Ken Salazar (D-CO)  (202) 224-5852 salazar.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)  (202) 224-4822 stabenow.senate.gov/email.htm I sent every one of them an E-mail and it would be great if everyone else did as well.  I think it is important that we let these people know that they are the terrorists when they vote for laws that ruin our Democracy.

Ever wanted to buy your very own politician to do your company’s bidding in Washington?  Wal-Mart has contributed 1.25 MILLION to candidates and ballot initiatives year to date. Read this, then burn down your local Wal-Mart (Just Kidding) In 2004 Wal-mart gave 85% of it’s contributions to Republican Candidates; I am sure that is a trend that will not change in ‘06. The more Corporate interests stuff money in the pockets of politicians the more our Representative Democracy is destroyed.  Whether it is the voting machines, the minting of our currency, or the politicians themselves, we cannot let Corporate interests control our policy decisions.  Please check out the trailer for this movie.  It will really make you think.

Dennis Hastert (Republican Speaker of the House) waddled up to the microphone today to denounce the Foley Fiasco as a liberal conspiracy.  Sitting down with drug addled gas bag Rush Limbaugh today, Denny had this to say about his swift action:“We found out about it, asked him to resign. He did resign. He’s gone.” Wait just a second there Mr. Hastert, didn’t you “find out about it” like a fuckin’ year ago?  I always knew that the Republicans would have a hard time giving up the power that they worked so hard to get.  Quite a few dirty tricks went into taking control of all facets of our government.  Minorities had to be ignored, districts had to be re-drawn, money had to be laundered, and quite a few good Americans were swift-boated just so the Republicans could get us by the short hairs.  I always joked that GWB might just go ahead and make himself King of the United States, but I really never imagined that a suspected child predator would be protected by Republican leadership.  The moral of this story is that they will do anything.  They will do anything to stay drunk with power and to impose their faux morals upon the public.  They will cheat, steal, lie, mislead, pander, and terrorize all the way to the White House.  And they have in the past, and they will continue to do so until we get up.  Stand up.  And take the power back.

Ah October, what a wonderful month.  There’s Halloween, picking apples at the orchard, carving your pumpkin, enjoying a nice fall evening, and of course theOctober Surprise!  What could make this October special?  A surprise to really remember…  I have to say, it really hit the spot.  A 52 year old Republican Congressman (Mark Foley) literally trying to have cyber sex with a 16 year old male page.  Here is just a glimpse into the conversation that turned to subjects of masturbation and the size of the 16 year old’s penis: Xxxxxxxxx (8:06:53 PM): not tonight…dont get to excited Maf54 (8:07:12 PM): well your hard Xxxxxxxxx (8:07:45 PM): that is true Maf54 (8:08:03 PM): and a little horny Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:11 PM): and also tru Maf54 (8:08:31 PM): get a ruler and measure it for me Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:38 PM): ive already told you that Maf54 (8:08:47 PM): tell me again Xxxxxxxxx (8:08:49 PM): 7 and 1/2 Maf54 (8:09:04 PM): ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Maf54 (8:09:08 PM): beautiful  ———————————————————————— The rest if you can bear it:http://abcnews.go.com/images/WNT/02-02-03b.pdf A beautiful side note to this story is that ex-Rep. Foley was a Co-chair on the House’s “Missing and Exploited Children Caucus”.  Oh, and for the extra cherry on top, this article quoting ex-Rep. Foley’s views on the Clinton/Lewinski debacle:http://www.sptimes.com/Worldandnation/91298/Congress_sees_through.html

If you have not heard anything about this, it’s because the media is in it’s saddest state in 50 years; but let’s save that for another post…  Recently the 2006 Values Voter Summit was held in Washington DC.  It was an orgy of hate led by a who’s who of douche bags and assholes.  It seems that they are up to their usual tricks again; stating that the most important moral degradation in this country is…..  ready for this….. the GAYS.  My favorite was Wellington Boone, a Bishop commenting on how he wishes the “gays” would be angrier with him…. Now they’re fussing on it, they’re saying a few things, but they don’t have me, you know, in their, you know, on their web sites. They’re not coming at me strong, and I would say this. Back in the days when I was a kid, and we see guys that don’t stand strong on principle, we call them “faggots.” More It is amazing how much hate comes out of the love of Christ, isn’t it?  The thing that bothers me the most is the fact that there were two high ranking Bush administration officials sitting listening to this garbage.  White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales attended this debauchery of douchebaggery and have not been criticized once for it.  When Michael Moore or some other Liberal says something a little “iffy” we as Liberals are all lumped into one and confronted by the comments.  Why isn’t anyone in the White House Press Core asking Tony Snow if he hates faggots?

I just read the National Intelligence estimate that was de-classified by GWB today, and found nothing surprising.  What we are doing over there is causing more hatred for the US, and George Bush has lied to the American people every time he has told us we are safer now than before. “We assess that the underlying factors fueling the spread of the movement outweigh its vulnerabilities and are likely to do so for the duration of the timeframe of this Estimate. Four underlying factors are fueling the spread of the jihadist movement: (1) Entrenched grievances, such as corruption, injustice, and fear of Western domination, leading to anger, humiliation, and a sense of powerlessness; (2) the Iraq jihad; (3) the slow pace of real and sustained economic, social, and political reforms in many Muslim majority nations; and (4) pervasive anti-US sentiment among most Muslims all of which jihadists exploit.” Here is the full transcript

Jerry Falwell’s recent remarks about Hillary Clinton have stirred me to analyze weather Jesus was in fact a Democrat or a Republican.  Bear with me here but I am going to quote scripture: Mark 10:25 “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” No rich people?  That sounds like Socialism to me.  But like every story I suppose there are two sides.  If you visit www.raptureready.com you will find that Jesus could not have been a Democrat because he would not have allowed gay rights and abortion.  I could go on and on about why Jesus would have been a liberal and anyone who knows anything about who Jesus is said to have been would almost have to agree.  Except gay rights and abortion. I honestly believe that Jesus would have had no problem with gay rights.  He would have wanted all to be treated the same regardless.  Would he have married two men?  Maybe not.  But if you ask most gays you will find that we don’t want religious marriage, just state recognized unions.  On the subject of abortion, it is hard to say.  The bottom line is that Jesus never talked about abortion and neither have any of the Gospels. Either abortion did not exist, or it did, and Jesus chose not to make it a cornerstone of his Philosophy. So, no one can profess to know how Jesus felt about abortion considering this undeniable truth.  Maybe Jesus treated abortion like Bill Clinton treated gays in the military: “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”.

I read an interesting article today, apparently the internet can be used for things not libido related.  It seems that more and more Americans are turning to the internet for informational purposes.  I am glad that these people decided to join us in the 21st century.  A recent poll shows that more people are using the internet to seek election and political news in August 2006 than did in August 2004.  I am not sure if this is exciting or terrifying, either way I hope this means a more intelligent and informed electorate.  (holding back laughter)  Only time will tell.  On a side note, it seems that Indiana is poised to turn more seats over to Dems in November than any other state.  Current polling shows 3 districts may fall into our progressive little hands.  -insert evil laugh-
