Preznit Git R’ Done

August 16, 2007 – 10:14 pm

Bush turns to executive action to get some of his agenda doneHis strength is sapped by an unpopular war, Democrats are running Congress, [...]

At this point, it is imperative that we let the world in on a dirty, little secret that many naive liberals have managed to lockout of their [...]

Or did he? An upcoming BBC report claims that W's Grandfather - who was convicted of trading with Nazi's in WWII - was also involved in the famous 1933 Business Plot, a fascist coupe attempt that was meant to unseat Roosevelt and install a capitalist-friendly military dictatorship in the US. It was reportedly foiled by [...]

People power? Where is it?

July 20, 2007 – 11:45 am

Enjoyed reading this letter to the editor in the Columbian today.  Used to think the people had the power.  Before Howard Dean's failed campaign, before John Kerry's failed campaign, before the failed Iraq resolutions, before US run Iraqi torture prisons, before illegal US wiretapping, before impeachment was taken off the table, before Scooter was given [...]

A new lawsuit has been filed against a former high level staffer in the United States Presidential Administration of George [...]

Hugo Chavez Goes Further Down the Road to Dictatorship

May 28, 2007 – 1:09 pm

UPDATED 6-5-07
Hi friends, I want to apologize for going off half-cocked on this story.
I too was sucked in by the mainstream myth about Chavez going too far. I am a free speech fundamentalist and don’t believe there are very many legitimate reasons for censorship. I also believe that we need to be vigilant against [...]

PBS Round-Files Documentary About Moderate Islam

May 8, 2007 – 7:32 am

What does publicly funded, “liberally biased” PBS do when a documentary about Muslims doesn’t fit the current narrative?
