If you're in the average US community, talk radio is dominated by the Limbaugh's and Hannity's of the world; guys who say they're "mainstream" but yet can never seem to find anyone who is MORE conservative than they are to talk to, and anyone who doesn't share their goose-stepping philosophy is "liberal".

Quotes Of The Day "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, "regretted," that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these "little measures" that no "patriotic German" could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head." German scholar describing how the Third Reich became reality. (More)
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." James Madison, Founding Father and 4th President of the United States
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." Sinclair Lewis
"Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves." Herbert Marcuse
"Flailing away with a stick at a hornets' nest while loudly proclaiming "I will stay the course" is an exercise in catastrophic leadership." Zbigniew Brzezinski, referring to Bush approach to Iraq/terrorism. (More)
Americans must be 'Christocrats" -- citizens of both their country and the Kingdom of God -- and that is not a democracy; that is a theocracy... That means God is in control, and you are not." Rev. Rod Parsley, World Harvest Church, just outside Columbus, Ohio. (More)
"If you believe uncompromisingly in the right of every baby to be born safely into this world, can you at the same time abandon the future of that child, allowing its health and safety to be compromised by a President who gives big corporations license to poison our bodies and destroy our climate?" Bill Moyers, on the evangelical right's lack of concern for environmental issues. (More)
"The president waved the flag. I saluted. I never expected to be misled by the president of the United States. Sadly, that was the case. Now it is my duty to the people of this country to do what I can to correct that, AT WHATEVER RISK THERE IS TO MY PERSONAL CAREER (emphasis added). There is no shame in being wrong. But it is shameful to be so afraid to admit a mistake that you push a wrong into being a disaster." Senator Harry Reid on the buildup to the invasion of Iraq.
(Ed. note: Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Why is it that so many politicians don't realize that the best way to insure CONTINUE having a career is if you make a stand, damn the torpedos of personal loss, so long as that stand is for the people! Put yourself on the line, and people will follow!)
Arab Firm With Ties To Terrorism To Be In Charge Of US Port Security?! These guys will even have control over MILITARY shipments moving through said ports. WTF?! Read more and get pissed then call your congressman and tell them to stop Bush from instituting this! 1-888-355-3588
Meanwhile, thousands take to the streets in over 200 communities to protest Bush warrantless wiretapping. Click for slideshow of pics.
An Interesting Aside To The Cheney Shooting Story While campaigning for Governor of Texas in 1994, George W. Bush took reporters along for the first day quail season. Instead of bagging a quail, Bush shot a killdeer, an endangered species of bird. (More.) And here's a scathing piece of video from David Letterman.
More Than Half Of Gitmo "Detainees" Not Accused Of Hostile Acts Many were simply snagged by bounty hunters being promised wealth beyond their wildest dreams. And only 8% are considered al Queda operatives. Here's an overview of a report based upon DEFENSE DEPARTMENT data, so it's obviously a conservative report. UPDATE: 2/14. Austrailian tv has ran 60 previously unreleased photos from Abu Ghraib that the US government is trying to hide from the American Civil Liberties Union. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT THAT MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE FAITH IN YOUR GOVERNMENT, IF YOU'RE A CONCERNED AMERICAN. View these 16 photos at your own peril.
A Bunch Of Barely Covered Republican Scandals BEFORE 2005 Granted, warrantless wiretapping and Republican lobbyist scandals are in the forefront now, but here's a nice memory jogger of 35 Bush administration/Republican congress scandals that led up to the more contemporary ones, starting with the two Senate staff pricks who stole private computer files from Senate Judiciary Committee members. Hell, the two thieves will probably be on the Republican ticket somewhere in 06. Either that or have their own radio shows, like convicted burglar G. Gordon Liddy.
The Bush Family Coup Strong words from James Ridgeway and The Village Voice.
A PhD., Former Newpaper Editor, And Undersecretary of the US Treasury Doesn't Pull Punches "The Bush Administration has abandoned American principles. It's a Jacobin regime. Woe to it's citizens and the rest of the world." Paul Craig Roberts. An incredible Roberts follow up from 2/06
Top 10 "Conspiracy Theories" About George Bush Hard to just pick 10, but Maureen Farrell does a great job.
Must Watch Vid: The Power Of Nightmares, the Rise of the Politics of Fear Originally aired on BBC2, this is an amazing 3 part documentary on the rise of the Islamic extremists and Necons from 1949 to today. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Cindy Sheehan and Congressperson's Wife Abused At SOUA Even Republican hawk Bill Young's wife was abused by Capital police throwing folks out of the People's House. Cops apologise.
Another Credible Conservative Hammers Bush Foreign Policy Paul Craig Roberts, undersecratrary of the Treasury in Reagan admin, editorial page editor for the Wall St. Journal, and contributing editor to the hyper conservative National Review condemn's Bush's stupid policies and the stupidity of the average American who lets mainstream media lie to him.
To The Scumbags Trying To Impune Rep. Murtha's Character Here's the Secretary of the Navy during the Reagan administration taking these dildos to task.
52% Favor Impeachment Of Bush For Spying Without Court Order And no, Clinton and Carter didn't do the same thing. You have to go back to Nixon. Remember what happened to him? We can all thank Black Box Voting.org MSNBC reporting! Here's a great overview of election fraude in 2004.
Diebold Voting Machines Hacked Florida election supervisor decertifies the machines and their stock holders are suing the company. We can all thank Black Box Voting.org MSNBC reporting! Here's a great overview of election fraude in 2004.
Pentagon Spying On US Citizens And this is mainstream media MSNBC reporting! Of course, this is nothing new. Just take a look at the tyranny of one party rule in 1798 that brought us the Alien And Sedition Act. And notice WHERE the editorial appears. And here's a wonderful piece on president as monarch.
US Agents Torturing Captives To Death Cheney argues for torture. McCain gets congress to pass a law recognizing the Army Field Manual as the standard for interrogations. So what does the administration do? Change the Army field manual! And these policies are killing people. Here are the autopsies to prove it. (Look under "manner of death" in right hand column).
Will We Ever Know
The Truth About 911? Four years later, and after the 911 Comission gives Bush Administration failing grades for preparing the country for another another attack, huge questions still go unanaswered. But a guy with money and experts backing him up is calling for a complete investigation.
John Yoo Is An Idiot He's a PhD, and he teaches at Berkley, but he's he's the best friend a fuhrer ever had.
Horror Film "Homecoming" Satires Iraq Vet Response To Politicians Totally out there. This is reason enough to get showtime as part of your cable/satellite package.
Rep Waxman And Senator Feinstein Nail Bush Administration Lies This ain't talk radio, folks. Pretty comprehensive stuff. Check the right wing spin machine on tv and radio at Media Matters. Remember the Bush administration's claims of an Iraq-Al Qaeda connection? Ten days after 9/11 they got a PDB that told them this was bullshit, but yet they continued to peddle the lie.
And the next time a Republican tells you that the White House and Congress had the same intelligence in the lead up, show them this that proves it all wrong.
Hawk Congressman Murtha Calls For Practicable Redeployment From Iraq How much of a hawk is this Dem? He supports a draft! Don't listen to republicans telling you what Murtha is asking for. Watch his news conference at C-SPAN. Chicago becomes the most recent signatory to the Cities For Peace alliance.
Harper's Magazine Calls Bush Regime Fascist Pretty revolutionary stuff for a major US mag. Incredibly eloquent, too. Open your mind, and consider this. But I guess it's not that revolutionary when you consider Prescott Bush -- W's grandfather -- was charged with "Running Nazi front groups in the United States" DURING WWII. More.
Wounded Soldiers Hounded By Defense Department Credit Calls I guess when Halliburton can't account for $9 billion in tax dollars given to them in Iraq, you have to cover the losses somehow. I know, how about we hassle the wounded? Unbelievable. Meanwhile, our soldiers make less than the mercenaries from the numerous "security firms" employed. And obscene profits go to
favored vendors.
US Using Phospherous Shells In Combat? I don't know what to believe anymore. Read it yourself, and make up your own mind. More. And check out the video stream Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre. NOT FOR THE SQUEEMISH!!!!

Nixon's Secretary Of Defense Calls For Exit Strategy In Iraq Thank god not all Republicans have sucked down the Bush Co. koolaid. (More) Perhaps Skowcroft saw the survey of the Iraqi people, conducted by the British military, that shows less than 1% of the population thinking that US/British presence is making the country safer, and that between 45% and 65% support the attacks on troops. (More)

Bush Ghost Writer Asserts Bush Alluded To Iraq Invasion In 1999 Between the Downing Street Memo, the 1998 paper from the Project For A New American Century signed by Skooter Libby, Wolfowitz, and others calling for the invasion of Iraq and the lack of support such that and the Star Wars strategy would have without a "new Pearl Harbor" (9/11?... See report, page 50) and now Bush's biographer coming clean, how much more proof do we need that this administration came into power with it's eyes on invading the Middle East?
Cheney Haliburton Stock Options Inflate Over 3,000% Over Last Year First he lies about not having any ties to the company. Now the King of the No Bid Contracts is seeing his portfolio swell. (More. )
Who Forged The Yellow Cake Uranium Documents? The whole Rove debacle brings up and interesting question. Someone wanted awfully badly for us to think that Iraq was trying to buy uranium, supposedly for a WMD program. (It was Plame's husband, Joe Wilson, who debunked the claim, then Plame was outed in retribution.) But who was it that forged the document that started the whole fiasco? (More)

Know This Katrina Timeline Pickles may not be able to pronounce it ("karina" was close, though), but we all need to have a firm grasp of the timeline and judge for yourself just how incompetent the Federal Government was at marshalling resources to serve its people. Here's the best timeline I've seen, from Salon.
Is Carl Rove Guilty Of Treason? Many say yes. Most want him gone. You too? Take less than 5 minutes to sign Air America's petition going to your congresspeople. Update, 9/18: Now Turd Blossom is the head of the NO rebuild? WHAT QUALIFICATIONS?!
Voting Rights Advocate Jailed Black box voting advocate Jim March jailed in San Diego for simply walking into a room where insecure, highly hackable Diebold central tabulator was tabulating mayoral race -- not within public view. This guy's a true patriot. (More.)
Downingstreet Memo Could Mean Beginning Of Bush Impeachment Hearings Rep. Joe Conyers and a growing group of Congresspeople are distressed over high ranking British intelligence officers claim that Bush and Cheney cooked intelligence to justify invading Iraq. If it's true, we're talking high crimes and midemeanors, here. See notes from the Conyers hearings, 6/16. See what Greg Palast has to say.
Peace Activists Take To The Streets Sept. 24 March 18-20, concerned citizens in over 700 towns held peace rallies in an effort to bring American troops home.

Remember, totally peaceful and legal, but focussed and determined action is the key, here. Update 6/16: Let your congressperson know how you feel.

The Sun Revolves Around The Earth, And George Bush Won Ohio Don't understand why so many folks in Ohio and across the country don't believe the Ohio vote? It's all succinctly laid out by by Bob Fitrakis. Read the short essay and maybe you'll understand.

Gay Whore Gate: Another Reason Why The White House Must Be Investigated So a guy who does gay prostitution and runs a few sites on the web to prove is closely linked to leaks in the White House. The big question: How does this guy get a White House Press Pass -- which in today's world requires a Secret Service security check? Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Joe Biden, and a really quiet Republican senator nail it in this clip.

Tens Of Thousands Peacefully Protest Bush Inauguration Over 10 thousand activists of all ages, races, religious and sexual persuasions peacefully but forcefully chanted and waved signs along the parade route in Washington, with thousands more stuck in a maze of "secrutiy points" which prevented them from participating. The $17 million security bill paid by Washington DC taxpayers did produce dividends. A woman clad in nothing but red white and blue underpants was arrested, several peaceful sign bearers were removed from George II's line of vision as he gave his inaugral speech, and several protestors were pepper sprayed. (More)
Good News: Not All Judges Are Conservative Hacks US District Court Judge Gary Lancaster stood up for the First Amendment and the Bill Of Rights by throwing out an obscenity suit against movie makers Extreme Associates, saying,"We find that the federal obscenity statutes place a burden on the exercise of the fundamental rights of liberty, privacy and speech." Citing the Supreme Court's ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, he added,"the government can no longer rely on the advancement of a moral code, i.e., preventing consenting adults from entertaining lewd or lascivious thoughts, as a legitimate, let alone a compelling state interest." Amen!

A Few Dems Stand, But Not Enough We've now seen the death of the Democratic Party. Screw them if they can't all get on board for a protest to call for transparent democracy. Bunch of chicken shits. Conyers, Kusinich, Boxer, and the rest need to look into starting their own party.
