Why Is Osama Still Alive?

With the release of this new tape of Osama, it becomes completely clear that he, and George Bush, are working together to steal our liberty. We have known for long that the two families are close. Remember how, right after 9/11, the bin Ladens were allowed to catch a flight out of the country, even though planes weren't allowed to fly? Bush greased the wheels on that one.

Right now, with his administration under assault from every direction, George needed his old friend to bail him out again. So, we get a tape from the leader of the terrorists, saying exactly what Bush needs him to say. Now he can stand up and tell us we don't give in to terrorists. Now he can say that staying the course hurts al Qaeda.

I know there will be a few nutjobs out there that will react exactly the way Bush wants them to, and there will be a cadre of pundits, spewing out the talking points, backing him up. I wonder if THEY know it is all just a ploy, to keep the wolves away from little Georgie's house of straw?

Equal Justice

Aren't we all supposed to be equal under the law? I feel sure I read that somewhere, and yet, when I look around, I see that it isn't true.

I'm not really talking about the obvious discrepancies, such as inner-city black kids being rousted just because they are there. That can be fixed. All they have to do is get more money, and move out to the suburbs. Then can be rousted for being THERE, instead.

I'm speaking more about the inequities at a higher level. For instance, if you, or I, were to be caught listening to our neighbors telephone conversations, the authorities would confiscate our equipment, any recorded conversations, and everything else related to the illegal activity. We would be arrested, and held until a judge determined how much it would take to keep us available for a trial.

So, why does a government official get different treatment? Just because someone's daddy BOUGHT him a great job, does that mean he isn't bound by the same laws as the rest of us? If it DOES, then why have so many people given their lives?

When I served in the military, I believed that I was putting my life on the line for freedom, and equal rights for everyone. If I had known that it was just to promote a special interest group's agenda, I would never have gone.

It is time for someone to shine a bright light on the roaches that now inhabit our government. We need to see where they run, and make sure they can never get back to any psoition of power - EVER! Then we start rebuilding our reputation as a nation of caring people.

They Need The Help

Members of the Christian Coalition were barred from entering the chamber where the confirmation hearings will be held for Samuel Alito. They were in the process of performing a "consecration ceremony". They claimed, however, that being barred didn't stop them, since they had already violated the security of the chamber the day before, and a foreign substance had been placed on the chairs where certain key figures would be sitting.

Now, I understand that they are just trying to insure that God is on their side in these hearings. I get that they want everything to go their way in the hearings. What I DON'T get is why no one is raising hell about the fact that they were ever in the chamber at all!

I think everyone has a stake in these hearings. I honestly believe that ALL of us are in peril if Alito gets on the Supreme Court. Certainly, it would be important for, let's say, the american muslim community to make certain that God is on THEIR side, but they never would have gotten to the front steps of the capitol building. So, why is it okay that the CC got in?

At this point, I still believe that, as Americans, we have the right to worship our god, in 0ur own way. I wonder if we will still have that right in another 3 years?

Inmates Running Asylum

I have known, and written in this very blog, that George Bush is a crook. I said it when he "got elected" as governor of Texas. I said it again when he "won" the presidency. I screamed it at the top of my lungs when he ran successfully for a second term.

Now we have proof, from his own sweet lips, that he is a criminal. He doesn't care about the constitution. That means this highly religious bastard man LIED when he took the oath to serve. It means that the sancimonious asshole never intended to be a real president. He has been raping this country for 5 years - in and out - working it good. I hope he has enjoyed it, but more than that, I sincerely hope it is over.

It is time now for a few of our congressional leaders to march over to Pennsylvania Avenue, help him pack, and put his ass on a train to Kennebunkport. Tar and feathers will be optional. If he protests, just explain to the stupid son-of-a-bitch that he did the same thing Nixon did, and worse.

Oh, and if he happens to get roughed up a little in the process, he should understand - at least he won't be tortured.

A World Gone Mad

What in the FUCK is going on? Has the entire planet gone insane? The big question: How does anyone get up in the morning, and face the world?

I have made it clear that I am not blogging right now. I'm not! Really!! When Rumsfeld makes a speech, perpetuating the falsehood that Saddam was a threat to us, or that he was, somehow, involved in 9/11, I have to sit on my hands.

When Bush chuckles, and says he is not a racist, while heading one the most racist administrations EVER, I have to turn my back to the computer. When Cheney says we NEED to maintain the right to torture people, in order to protect ourselves, I have to leave the room. When ANY of the nasty, lying administration toadies speak, I fight down the bile, try not to throw things at the TV - but it is HARD!

It doesn't help to watch cable news. Faux News has been off the edge of the cliff for a long time. MSNBC now has more people carrying water for the prevaricators than they have real reporters (Last count - NONE). CNN is just as bad, with the liars being given equal time, and no one calling BULLSHIT!

I thought I could just keep it on TXCN. I mean, how political can a weather map be? Then they show footage of Bush - Bush lying in front of an all-military audience - Bush lying in front of a bunch of senior citizens - Bush lying in front of a vetted audience of koolaid sucking idiots.

The world has gone crazy. Prosecutors are filing charges against the victims, instead of the criminals. The pentagon is building an "enemy's list" of senior citizens, just because they disagree with our (illegal) president's (illegal) war. Bill "thieving bastard" Frist, is waving his arms, and talking about morality. Joe Lieberman has become this year's Zell Miller. Bill O'Reilly has to make up news. I don't know how anyone can stand it. How anyone can face this world, and not scream.

I am trying not to blog. I don't want to be on someone's list, but it is HARD not to say anything, when they are dragging our country through the mud. Is there anyone we can turn to? Someone to lift us out of this mess, and give us back our nation?
