Democratic or Republican?

In the past 8 (almost) years, we have had quite a bad taste of a”Republican Rule,” and I use the term “Rule” strictly. I think you can all understand where I am coming from if you have seen anything in the
news over the past years. Bush and his administration is nothing but corruption.
That being said…

The War’s Real Goal

Recently, I was compiling facts for a piece I was going to send to my local paper in response to a letter written by a terribly misguided war supporter. What I came across, confirms that the real goal of the Iraq War is oil.
I decided to look up financial information on Halliburton, which everyone […]

Fox and War with Iran

Why does Fox News want us to have a war with Iran? Why do Americans let Fox News decide what is happening in our foreign policy? Why don’t they have to report real facts?

Karl Rove and the TV Talk Show Hosts

What is the world coming to?

The bridge collapse was first, the mine collapse in Utah followed, the gouge in the space shuttle was next, the stock market started to take a nose dive, and finally, to wrap things up, a radiological attack on U.S. was threatened. At […]

If the White House won’t even defend this guy, why is he still Attorney General?

Even the White House won’t defend Alberto Gonzales any more.  Nor will any other conservatives.  So why is he still attorney general?  Only because he is friends with Bush?  Only because he knows all of Bush’s secrets?  What a sham!
Here are some choice quotes from the interview on Fox.  From Chris Wallace:
“By the way, we […]

The Death of The Republic, The Final Act

Via Shakesville I’ve just learned that, officially, no one in the United States has rights anymore. Really, they’re a thing of the past. Bush has just issued an Executive Order titled “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq” which states that the Treasury Secretary is now solely responsible for deciding who […]

The Pentagon and Profits

It is very wrong for the Pentagon to operate this way. It is wrong to the soldiers that work for them and to their families. Who is going to make the contractors accountable? Who is going to tell the Pentagon to get better contractors? Who is going to REALLY support the troops? […]
