EXCERPT: At the beginning of 2007 the democratic party had the presidency locked up. After the disasters of PNAC, or as some call it the Bush Administration, a democratic nominee should have been a shoe in and it was theirs to lose.
Now here we are just a little over a year later and they've done everything in their power to do just that. LOSE!
They, along with the corporate media, threw all their best candidates under the bus and made them irrelevant. The ones who were sincere in their...

EXCERPT: I received the following in an email from Congressman Wexler and I was thinking. What if the Bush had made this speech when trying to convince the country to invade Iraq? Since this was the real reason for the invasion would Congress have signed that horrific blank check for Bush? Would the American people have been on board for an invasion of a country just to attempt to ensure global stability (whatever that means)?
Also I noticed that the good General did not answer one of the two...

EXCERPT: I used to be proud of the USA and for 20 years served in the US Army and went where I was told when I was told. (and please don't respond with some inane "thank you for your service").
I was proud to be from this country even when mistakes were made because I believed in the goodness of the American people and their ability to eventually see and correct those mistakes.
I have been proud of the country that did not torture.
I have been proud of the country that did not...

EXCERPT: I have been trying to think of some.  Let' see.
1....?
2.....?
3.....?
I'm reminded of a story I heard in the 1950's.  Mitch Miller the band leader was a star maker and would sponser various artists and get them on the radio and heard by DJ's and eventually stardom.
Mitch was sitting around with some of his cronies and made the statement that he could make anyone a star.  One of the people sitting with him bet him that he could'nt make...

EXCERPT: The entire complex, which controls the American Media has successfully muzzled Kucinich and Edwards because these two are the biggest threat to them. They obviously want to run against either Clinton or Obama and the democrats can't even see it. The "Pollyanna", politically correct democrats seem to think that because this race is theirs to lose that they can try an experiment with a woman and/or a black candidate and the opposing side is quietly smirking planning...

EXCERPT: I received this email from an acquaintance who is the son of a preacher and who, incidently, knows that I don't believe in his god. What pisses me off more than anything is not that they forward this trash but that they attribute it to George Carlin without even verifying it's veracity.
Quote: I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic...

EXCERPT: For years now I've been listening to the democrats in congress whine and cry about how they don't have enough votes to do this and can't get this done because they don't have enough votes and before 2006 about how they were in the majority and couldn't get anything done and couldn't use the filibuster because the big bad republicans were blocking them at every turn and I'm sick of it. 
When they were in the minority the republicans successfully...

EXCERPT: There was an event that happened this past weekend.  Protestors against the US involvement in Iraq marched on Washington and it was led by some 50 or so ex-soldiers who served in Iraq.  I wanted to find out how many showed up,  as I would have had I been younger, and had to really hunt for a story on the protest.  I found one that said "thousands" of protestors showed up which could mean anywere from 2 to 900 thousand. 
I thought there would be a...

EXCERPT: I tried, I really tried, to watch the imbecile who pretends to be our leader speak (or should I say mis-speak) tonight but after one look at the vacant stare and the moronic look on his face I go a physical reaction and had to turn it off.
It matters not though, because I knew what he was going to say before he said it. We have to succeed in Iraq or we will lose. Iraq is the cornerstone of our war on terror. If we don’t stop them over there they will follow us home etc etc....

EXCERPT: We bring our children into this world. We nurture them and raise them to the best of our abilities. We try our best to teach them right from wrong. We try our best to give them a sense of responsibility and respect for truth honor and decency. We teach them that killing is wrong. That stealing is wrong. That it is wrong to harm another human being. In most cases we teach them to only use violence as a last resort and then, only in defense of themselves or their loved ones(at least we...
