Americans Are Following the Path of the German People in the 1930's
[Read the article: Ron Suskind, George W. Bush and the Aug. 6, 2001, PDB]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Up to 2001, I could not understand how it was that one of the most advanced cultures on earth, the German culture, could succumb to the Nazis and live with, if not actively participate in, the Holocaust. I did not think that something like that could ever happen here because Americans would fight for preservation of their freedoms and to maintain a government of some integrity, irrespective of whether they were left leaning or right leaning.
I was wrong. Our government is a stinking cesspool of lies, greed, and contempt for citizens of our country. Our freedoms are going, going, gone. Citizens are passively letting it happen, drugged by a corporate media matrix or religious crackpot theologies.
I am getting the hell out of here while I still can.

Check Out gofugyourself.com
[Read the article: Can I dress you up in self-hate?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is an irreverant website that makes wicked fun of the clothes and appearances of actresses and gadflies. It is "picking on" people powerful enought to take it.

Gutknecht Will Hopefully Be Gonenecht this Fall

[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/17/ap/politics/mainD8ITK08G9.shtml
Several of my brothers still live in this Congressional district. One of them is a staunch Republican but he is as sickened as I am by the Republican's actions under the Bush administration. I do not think he will be voting for Gutknecht or any other Republican.

Is English His First Language?
[Read the article: Bush: We have to destroy Lebanon in order to save it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How can you tell what Bush is saying? He doesn't speak in complete sentences. He doesn't articulate intelligent thoughts.

You've Come a Long Way Baby
[Read the article: The Fix]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I read about it and I see it... middle class young women who think the way to fame and fortune is to expose their lady parts for the world to see or spread their legs for any pig with money. It will be interesting to see how these women counsel their daughters when they come home crying because their boss felt them up and told them it was a condition of their employment. While these women were "getting busy" laws will revert back to the 1950's and '60's. Their daughters will be treated in the manner their mothers acted...like a bunch of whores.

Was This Guy Likely to Get Re-elected Before This Incident Was Publicized?
[Read the article: The congressman and the page: Just creepy or "sick"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If yes, great!! It is one more seat that the democrats can take. The e-mails were creepy and inappropriate in the context that they were sent. If democrats can use that to their advantage, they would be fools not to do so.

Pam--Move to Utah
[Read the article: Equality before God]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Utah, outside of Salt Lake City, is a Christian theocracy. Gentiles, those who are not Morman, are outsiders. As a fundamentalist Christian, you will generally be treated with kindness and respect due a non-believer, but you will never be allowed to forget that you are not one of the faithful. You will have a difficult time getting a good job. Your kids will be ostracized in school for not being Morman. Most all of their teachers will be Morman and within a couple of years of public school, your kids will know more about Mormanism than your own religion. You will be shut out of the local culture because you do not go to the one and only true church. The people representing you in local, state and national government believe as you do, that "God" wanted them to be in government and that they represent the chosen people, which does not include you.
I'd like to say, get your head out of the bible and into a history book but it would be pointless. Your postings indicate that you are a poster child of religious fundamentalism--you want to be told what to do and would be a lot happier with a dictatorship than in a democracy.

Don't Look to Pawlenty
[Read the article: Lost faith in the GOP]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]His win had more to do with his DLF opponent's missteps in the final days of the campaign. Pawlenty is a "snake."

Rove Is a Real Creepshow
[Read the article: Is Karl Rove on the way out?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Check out the article on Rove in the latest Vanity Fair. He is a very odd, creepy and mean person, probably filled with rage. According to the aricle, the man whom Rove thought was his father, was not. His mother committed suicide.
I think this guy has skeletons in his closet and may be "in the closet" himself. I think he will "blow up" like that religious fanactic in Colorado.

nixon
[Read the article: Worst president ever?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One other redeeming quality of Nixon is that Native Americans regard him as being the only president ever to honor his word. Nixon supported a policy that actually gave Native Americans sovereignty, not just lip service.
I never thought I'd be defending Nixon in any way, (under his administration, I was wire-tapped) but Nixon looks good compared to the neanderthal currently in office.

Even Worse Still
[Read the article: No good choices]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Pakistan has large populations of both Sunni and Shia moslems and could be torn apart as factions within Pakistan support their counterparts in the Middle East. Who knows which group in that mix would gain control of Pakistan's nuclear bomb technology.
Also, Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia, and China have a pact, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, whereby each member agrees to cooperate in matters of trade, science, technology, humanitarian projects, and terrorism. The dumbass in chief has gotten us into a "real pickle" which could lead to a world war. At the very least, he has put our entire society at risk by making Iraq the cornerstone of our energy policy.
