The Revolution has not even happened yet but the revolutionaries are already fighting among each other?
Take a deep breath, all of you, and calm down.
The goal is to throw the corrupt GOP out of Congress in November, and to clip the wings of Cheney and His Boy - Toy President.
Let us focus on that as the short-term objective. Medium-term, we need to throw the GOP out of the White House. Let us focus on that too.
There will be plenty of time for infighting. Now is just not the right time.
We only go after countries that are no threat to us, that are easy to invade and conquer, and that have strategic reserves of oil. North Korea does not pass the bombing test. Diplomacy is our only option.
And no, we won't invade Venezuela either, even though it qualifies for all of the above: it is not Muslim.
... is another rich, overprivileged, little twit. Mom is Gloria Vanderbilt, the railroad (among other rackets) heiress.
Anderson is yet another poor little rich boy who needs attention. Poor thing!
Dobson is the personification of what went wrong with the Republican Party. Dobson's message is one of bigotry, intolerance and totalitarianism. In that sense, Dobson is a terrorist trying to hijack a country that was founded on tolerance. He represents the tyranny of a few over the majority.
It is high time that Americans start rebelling against that psychotic brand of Christianism.
Nothing surprising there. Ben Nelson is widely known for being intellectually - challenged, i.e., stupid, in non PC terms.
Expect more terror alerts, aborteded plots, arrests of suspected terrorists, etc... on the road to the elections. This Administration is again trying to instill fear and paranoia among the public. It worked in the 2004 elections.
Given the poor job these clowns have done in the past five years, they should actually get pay cuts. Of course, the corporate model of reward-the-producers does not apply in the Bush Administration even though it boasts of running the government like a corporation.
Any one of these incompetent idiots would have been fired a long time ago in corporate America.
Perhaps it is time to remind these clowns that We, The People, are paying their salaries, and that We, The People, want to see results.
It does not surprise me that the DoD suddenly issued this memo. The Administration wants to be seen as abiding by the law. However, we know that the Administration says one thing and does another. So, the whole thing is meaningless. Harsh treatment, torture, rendition, deprivation of due process, and secret prisons, will still be business as usual. Until abuses come to light again, at which point, the Administration will issue denials, folowed by promises that there will be more oversight...
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, and their enablers are walking abominations. They have brought a level of barbarism to warfare that is akin to the most atrocious crimes perpetrated by the worse dictatorships. These vicious creatures are truly international war criminals. They should be turned over to the International tribunal in The Hague, and made to pay for their hideous crimes.
Why is the press not all over these calls for violence?
Why is it that there have not been any lawsuits filed against these psychopaths for inciting violence?
Even if this suit goes nowhere, it will be enough of a public embarrassment for the filth named in the lawsuit.
I suspect, however, that the Wilsons have a case against these scumbags. I cannot wait to see Cheney, Libby, and Rove, wriggle under public scrutiny. These creatures are the vilest assemblage of living cells that America has ever produced.
House Republicans are by and large illiterate morons and backwoods shit asses. The average I.Q. of the House Republican is in the low double digits. Their degree of sophistication and worldliness is nil. How these incompetent, uneducated, narrow-minded, idiots, were elected to Congress is a mystery to me.
The boy Reed is yet another example of the hatefuleness of the far - right so - called "Christians". Thos creatures are about as Christian as Lucifer. They are greedy, vicious, hate - mongers.
Bush and consorts will not do anything to halt the latest insanity going on in the Middle East for the simple reason that they are clueless, just as they are clueless about handling the civil war in Iraq, and the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The Neo - Con agenda was always risible to people living in the reality - based world. I remember laughing outloud when Wolfowitz uttered his famous statement that "U.S. troops would be greeted with flowers and candy". It displayed such arrogance, such dismissal and ignorance of the history and culture of the region, that at first, I thought Wolfie was making a joke. Unfortunately, he and his clownish associates (Perle, Cambrone, and up the the food chain Cheney, Rumsfeld, and their idiot President) really believed it.
We now see the results of letting these abysmally stupid, arrogant, and ignorant people run our foreign policy. Iraq is in the midst of a sectarian civil war, the Taliban is controlling southern Afghanistan, and Israel has now gone berserk shelling Gaza and Lebanon out of existence at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives. In the meantime, Osama Bin Laden has now changed his name to Bin Forgotten Bin Misplaced.
Heck of a job, Bushie and your buddies. You have managed to destabilize a region that was already a powder keg.
Never mind what you have done to the U.S. You have turned us into an international pariah with your little torture tricks, renditions, and secret prisons. You are also spying on every resident of the U.S., listening in on our calls, reading our e-mails, checking out our international fund transfers, etc... You are clearly spying on your political opponents. You have turned this country into a dictatorship. As such you are traitors to the ideals of this Republic and you should be tried and punished.
