I agree with inciTed, why does it look like a Nazi symbol to you? What Nazi symbol has a black eagle on it?
The German coat of arms is a black eagle, and the old Prussian flag has a black eagle on it. But Prussia was actually dissolved as a state by the Nazis, so I think you are way off base.
And these memos are considered credible sources? Really, this fascist hatred of Bush for the last 8 years by democrats is bordering on insane obsession. Bush beat Gore in 2000! Get over it already. You people act like the little get that got his lunch money stolen by the big bully in grade school and hope to some day exact your revenge.
The liberties violated by your coveted Woodrow Wilson during his presidency vastly out number anything Bush II may have done.
It's going to be a real treat to see how liberals will accuse McCain of stealing the election from Obama this year. Obama will be the first candidate to spend close to $1B in campaigning only to lose the general election. When does the circus comedy show, aka Obama campaign, come back home again? He might be better off running for office in Germany where is true political idol, Hitler, once reigned.
buck off, drooler. Liberal and fascist are at nearly opposite ends of the political spectrum. I guess your GED class didn't cover that part. The fascists are the ones in power now, the ones that McLame want to perpetuate. The five dollars you gave Grandpa Munster won't mean squat. He's a dead man walking back to Arizona with his botox bimbo rent-a-wife.
"Keep us safe
"As long as the Bush Administration promises to "keep us safe", there is no abuse of power, no invasion of privacy, no torture that Conservatives will not excuse. None.

They ARE NOT "Conservatives". They are right-wing authoritarian lunatic fringe anti-American zealots hiding behind that term, and thus transforming it into a LIE.
The meaning of "conservative" is "to conserve" -- which begins with conserving the Constitution/rule of law.
Call them what they are: America-Haters.

Seriously, are you guy collecting a paycheck for your efforts here over the past 15 months? Otherwise, how does one find the time to post here .45 times a day, seven days a week for the past 15 months?
Whatever they are paying you, it's too much.
Just how do you find enough time in your day to get to Sean Hannity for your tired talking points? Your secret's safe with me...
On April 5, 2007 Elephant Weinie provided us with this insightful comment, quote:
'But I adore Brit Hume, one of the best journalists in Wahsington, and I think the Fox News Sunday program offers some of the best questioning and debate on television.'
I still adore Brit Hume, and I still think that the Fox News Sunday program offers some of the best questioning and debate on television. The ratings suggest my view is a popular one.
Then, on April Fool's Day 2008 Ellie-puss said this:
'Seriously, if I were a serious-minded Democrat, I'd be absoultely panicked right now at the notion that my party's hopes were pinned on Obama come the fall.'
How's that going anyway?

Pretty good. Despite the laughable adoration of most of the world press, Obama is slipping, pretty significantly, in key battleground states:

When and if there is something like a Michelle Obama "whitey" tape, or another JeremiahWrightJesseJackson outburst, and when -- most of all -- Americans figure out that a vote for Obama is a vote for a tax increase, then Obama and the Democrats will be in recrimination mode all over again.
not bucks4mccain, with his straw-man + ad hominem mind-reading act again...oh yeah, and the hyperbolic insult routine, not quite rising to the level of comedy.
There's no bigger adherent to Woodrow Wilson's ambitiously globalist foreign policy dreams in this race than John McCain. For that matter, George W. Bush's foreign policy can accurately be termed Wilsonian.
Obama can be accurately termed a Wilsonian, too- but not nearly as much as McCain, with his "make the world safe for democracy with a global US garrison" crusade. McCain is soldon that one. That's part of what being a neocon is all about. With the exception of a few holdouts like Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, and George Will, just about every Republican in public life is a Wilsonian, to the extent that they're convinced that America has a duty to bestow Western democratic liberal values on the world.
And, except for the bullets, bombs, and barbed wire tactics that they are so all-fired certain are required to do this, I largely support that, as a long-term project. As long as they don't go totally overboard, I'm in favor of liberal values.
That's right- LIBERAL VALUES. Anybody championing "100% conservative values" needs to find their role models with the Wahhabis and the Taliban.
But you wouldn't know that. It ruins what passes for your political philosophy- you know, the one based entirely on the historical formula "column D bad, column R good."
ucks4, I'd like to know what civil liberties abuses Wilson ordered that out-do those attempted by George W. Bush. Did Wilson ever demand the unchecked personal power to name U.S. citizens "enemy combatants" and have them abducted by the government and imprisoned without trial? Did Wilson ever personally participate in specific discussions on torture and brainwashing tactics?
Actually, you get points for naming the specifics of any violations of liberties during the Wilson presidency. Possibly enough points to raise your credibility score above zero.
Is viewing the principal that America is a nation of laws, not a nation of men (including members of the executive branch), as one of the defining principles of our Democracy a looney left-wing pie-in-the-sky ideal? I think not, and as a matter of fact it was at one time a bedrock principle of conservatism. But everything I hear coming out of Washington amounts exactly to the opposite, nothing will even be investigated to even see if any laws were broken.
Yes, turning this country back around will take a lot of time and a lot of people. But shrugging your shoulders and saying, "meh, democracy is just messy", is a huge cop out and will guarantee nothing changes at all.
Maybe forcing politicians to actually live up to the principle of the rule of law is just too radical a notion for you, but it isn't for a lot of people. And there is a good way to actually start the process of making politicians accountable. It's called prosecuting them, and the current bunch of bozos in Washington who call themselves the Democratic leadership are not and never will be capable of doing that.
But hey what do you care? Democracy is just messy. Go ahead and throw up your hands at everyone's ignorance of this. They'll take care of this mess in Washington somewhere down the road, right? Yeah, just as soon as they get reelected.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
