Random RecitalsWe've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

We might get away with it for awhile, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Article by missy on July 9th, 2008 at 1:09 pm You weren’t using that 4th Amendment, were you? Because Obama and a bunch of other cowardly Dems just sold us out for a little telecom cash and a kited check from the MSM that will bounce somewhere around October 1. Final vote: 69-28. So, a hearty FUCK YOU to Alexander (R-TN), Allard (R-CO), Barrasso (R-WY), Baucus (D-MT), Bayh (D-IN), Bennett (R-UT), Bond (R-MO), [...]

Today they are set to give away the Fourth Amendment to Osama bin Laden. Real patriots died to get [...]

If you’re shy, here’s what I said: I’m calling to ask Sen. ___ to vote NO on the FISA bill. There is [...]
Article by missy on July 8th, 2008 at 11:18 am Use your left hook to knock those Republican fuckers out. The FISA debate is going on this morning (voting tomorrow – CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW OR EXPLAIN TO YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WHY YOU DIDN’T). Running parallel to the FISA debate is the progressive renting of garments over should we or shouldn’t we be pounding Obama for his shift to the center. David [...]
Article by missy on June 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm Harry Reid just emailed – on behalf of the DSCC – asking me to help fund the election of Democrats to the Senate in November. So I emailed and called the DSCC, and told them I’d consider parting with some cash if – and only if – Dems defeat the FISA bill tomorrow. Just one more call/email won’t kill you: Phone (202) 224-2447 [...]
