OMFG! Where do I start?

Seriously, where do I start? The country is really going to hell in a hand basket, especially financially. Hundreds of billions of dollars of corporate welfare is being spent to prolong the inevitable severe recession/depression. My goodness, what else is there?

Another close election upcoming that should be an absolute blowout?

McCain invents the Blackberry?

Sarah Palin is the best VP candidate the Republicans could offer up to the American people?

Hurricane Ike is a complete duplicate of Hurricane Katrina?

I need some time to focus on all of this to start being coherent and plus American Idol is on. /sigh

More to come....

Shut it down!!!

This is a post I made at Democratic Underground. I made this just after watching the Samuel Alito hearings, seeing how whacked out this Alito character really is and seeing that obviously staged spectacle involving his wife.

Alito wants a "unitarian President". That means that Bush would be responsible or accountable to no one, who can choose which laws to follow anytime he wants. The Dems need to filibuster this Alito and if the Repukes go nuclear, I say shut down Congress. Enough is enough. The Democrats have to draw that line in the sand.

I didn't expect the massive support of my thoughts and over 140 DU members have recommended my thread for the "Greatest Page". I don't think I've ever seen that many recommendations for one thread in the time I've spent at DU. I'm emailing this post and a link to my DU thread to Harry Reid, the Senate Minority Leader.

SHUT IT DOWN! SHUT IT ALL DOWN NOW!!

No more f'ing around with the Repukes. They are capitulating in the fascist transformation of this country. It's time to do what the Repukes did in 95.

The Repukes are in dereliction of their duty and it's time to take the ball out of their hands.... literally.


Shut it down. Shut it all DOWN!!

I added the credits to each of the quotes. Let's mass produce these suckers and spread them like wildfire.

Orwell's American Dream

"Big Brother is watching.” We've all heard that phrase when discussing our government, no matter who's in charge. But at that time, we could at least take solace in the knowledge that there were laws and restrictions that would protect the privacy of American citizens.

Unfortunately, that solace has been stripped away over the last five years. Earlier this week, we also learned that the Department of Defense has been infiltrating "terrorist" organizations within our borders. Such "terrorist" organizations include war protestors, peaceniks, civil rights activists and those absolutely menacing Quakers. Little old ladies in Florida baking cookies and talking about being against the war is now a "terrorist threat".

And Friday, the National Security Agency (NSA) was exposed for spying on American citizens without a warrant. Apparently, this order came directly from President Bush himself. Doing this is illegal, flies in the face of our Constitution and is definitely an impeachable offense. But then again, he's done a lot of illegal and impeachable deeds since he's been in office. But with our current climate of fear and fear mongering, we will allow a President to act more like a Czar in order to "protect us from terrorism". Seems like my definition of terrorism differs from the White House.

We are going down a very dangerous path in this country. It's time that we end this culture of fear and take back our rights as Americans. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

War On Christmas? More Like A War On Common Sense.

Oh please. War on Christmas? You've got to be kidding me. Is this the new shiny thing the phony Christian leaders like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Dobson dangle in front of their flocks in order to separate their cash from their wallets? I would say it is.

With all the problems we are having in this country, this is the most pressing issue in some Christians' minds? Are you kidding me? When I first heard this, I thought it was a joke. I thought, "Someone is doing a holiday gag or something. Maybe it's a spoof from John Stewart or something?" But to my horror and amazement, this was for real.

Happy Holidays! Season's Greetings! If you got upset by reading those last two sentences, you really need to get a grip, take a deep breath, clear your mind and turn off Fox News. With Bill O'Lielly whipping this up every night as well as some other right-wing pundits on television and radio following along, people are actually starting to believe that Jesus Christ is an underdog in America.

That's right, Jesus is a twenty-to-one underdog in the latest Vegas betting line. So send your money to Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Dobson, keep tuning in to Bill O'Lielly and take yourself off the Missouri "No-Call" list because you could help the economy. How so? If you buy this act, you would buy anything from a telemarketer.

The Truth Reborn

Alright, here's the deal. I've decided that what I'm going to do is post all of the letters-to-the-editor that I submit to the Columbia Missourian, Columbia Tribune and other newspapers in the state of Missouri. I may submit some of my "good ones" to major newspapers like the New York Times, L.A. Times and Chicago Tribune.

The first submission will be posted tomorrow, December 13 and it will deal with the apropo subject of "The War on Christmas". I will at the same time submit that post to the newspapers I listed above. I'll update the post to the online newspaper link if it gets published. Hopefully soon, I'll be writing weekly op-eds for the Tribune. Stay tuned. It should be fun.

Sorry for the lack of updates...

I don't want to turn my blog into a strictly news regurgitation. I want to tackle different broad topics as terrorism, Iraq, Social Security and such. Keep an eye out on this page.
