"What's a war crime, Daddy?"

Living in San Diego, which is half an inch away from being a military base in its entirety, I wonder how much of what is praised as "heroism" or "protecting our freedom" are actually war crimes. Fallujah? A victory for freedom? Including the white phosphorous used on civilian populations?

We're STILL the Jesus-kissed favorite/only nation in God's eyes, right? Torture, murder, secret prisons notwithstanding. Read our press packet. We're the greatest.

Bush43 presided over the evisceration of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and our spineless, worthless Congress and alleged mainstream media went along for the ride with big shit-eating smiles on their faces.

The false-flag operations on 9/11/01 provided the hinge for all the Bush43 misdeeds. Anyone keeping track of whether or not Judge Hellerstein has set a trial date for the few (incredibly heroic) 9/11 families lawsuit? Word on the lunatic fringe has it that [unnamed group] is frantic to prevent any discovery phase of a trial from taking place.

Unclear on the concept

Americans, consumers to the last. Where's that warranty? I'm sure I can get my donation back if change was just a word they liked to use...

First thing that's made me smile all day.

Original article: Obama talks about Hamas

It's not a war crime when Israel does it.

Go figure.

Why does the US support Israel when Israel is clearly wrong? Israel has no business existing in the mideast. Check the DNA of people claiming to have a right to live in that area -- sorry, Khazak DNA.

We're supporting the WRONG SIDE here. Again. Yet somehow Zionist Teflon prevents so much as a discussion of the issues.

The more I read the more I think that Zionists are the only problem in the middle east. And that the US is 100% WRONG to support the Zionists.

Original article: My year in politics

Say, I hear Israel is slaughtering civilians by the hundred

Any chance salon.com might cover that as it happens and save the reminiscences of Hillary's epic phail for New Year's when no one will be working?

Israel has lost its moral right to exist.

Want to talk or do you want a solution?

CUT OFF ALL US AID TO ISRAEL including any private transfer of wealth to Israel (hi, Mr. Madoff!).

We are empowering Israel. What kind of ally is Israel to the US, exactly? I don't see any return on the endless river of money and arms and, more importantly, a bully to protect it in the UN.

A "shitty little country" indeed. Try and read some international coverage of conditions in Gaza.

Israeli is our ally?! How do you figure that?

Cut them off at once, not another penny, not another bullet, and NOT ANOTHER VETO WHEN THE UN TRIES TO STEM THEIR MONSTROUS BEHAVIOR.

Blackwell is the GOP poster boy for e-voting fraud

I'm surprised that he has any future at all with the GOP -- I thought he'd been indicted for his role in e-voting fraud in 2004.

Did he attend Mike Connell's funeral? They had a lot in common.

"The Jew cries out as he strikes you" -Polish proverb

Let's see... aerial bombardment of a blockaded area full of civilians who have no where to go. A ship delivering supplies is rammed ("By accident"). The UN is useless, thanks to the US veto and Israel's puppetry of the US.

Look at this map:

Getting the picture? Why is the US involved in this atrocity? Hitler was prescient in "Mein Kampf" when he predicted what a Zionist state would be like.

Why is the US on the wrong side of yet another conflict?

Let's add this as a caption to the map

“When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.” — Raphael Eitan, chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, New York Times, April 14, 1983.

But REMEMBER this is NOT "Genocide"!

Did you people take stupid pills for breakfast this morning?

The name Kennedy is like garlic to a vampire or a camcorder to a traffic cop when you're a Republican.

The men that killed JFK are still in power. They managed to kill off JFK Jr (a qualified pilot on a clear evening)(think the same techs who rigged Connell's plane worked on JFK Jr's?) and Caroline has risen to the occasion.

Graciously allow Ms. Kennedy to "opt-in" and bitch all you want to about it. I choose to see it as nothing less than an epic event which may lead (God willing) to a return to honest, evolving government. Remember that JFK had wanted the Federal Reserve to lose its monopoly on printing money -- "On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest." Amazingly, this Executive Order appears to remain in effect to this day.

I want a leader and not a technician. Ms. Kennedy appears to be uniquely poised to restore honest government to this country. Maybe even open up those mysteriously closed JFK assassination files early. The country went badly wrong at that time.

The potential power of a returning Kennedy not just to the Senate but to the Presidency should not be underestimated.

I would bet money that the mere mention of her name terrifies GOP scum like Karl Rove or Grover Norquist. That thought delights me. I can hear the Dulles brothers spinning in their graves. Not a Clinton say-anything DINO but the return of the last surviving child of the assassinated President. Caroline Kennedy is off the scale as far as progressive political potential goes. Unlimited potential and what might be an unprecedented wave of hope and renewal.

OMG Zionist humor!!!

Go butcher a Palestinian and cry about self-defense, O Member of The Tribe. Like a pack of gnats. Get out of my eyelashes.

Ouch.

Just ouch.

Republicans accept programming well

And they were told that Sarah P was a serious candidate for Vice President. So why not a Senator? You betcha!!!
