"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these
Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,
that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing
its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" . . .

Editor's Note: The link above has been on this home page for most of the year because, G. W. Bush, Dick Cheney and most of their cabinet are being sued for 7 billion dollars by the families of 9/11, for helping to plan and assure that the 9/11 attacks were carried out as planned. This case first went before a U.S. judge on 1/3/2005, and it's currently being appealed in the 9th circuit court in Ca... Regardless of what political party you favor, I feel when the president of the U.S.A. is being sued for 7 billion dollars, it's the medias obligation to bring these facts to the American people.

We didn't torture the Nazis
Cenk Uygur
Conservatives these days talk about the war on terror being a new kind of war that demands new tactics. They say it's nothing like any war we have ever fought and the terrorists are more vicious than any previous
enemy. Really? How about the Nazis? They seemed pretty vicious --
 and we never felt the need to torture them.
We won a couple of world wars without ever having to torture anyone. In fact, we treated the German soldiers so well when the war was over some of them wanted to stay (true story).
Yet, I recollect us winning that war. How about Tim McVeigh? Wasn't he the "worst of the worst" as the Republicans keep calling our current detainees? Why didn't we torture him?...

Editor's Note: Well they got the first half of the story above right, but the second half is a blatant lie!
The Bush Administration has proven to be by far the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world today. And what I find most disturbing about that FACT is, unlike what we were taught in American schools, our CIA, FBI, and/or Federal Marshals haven't stopped them yet, which with the evidence we have already, it's their sworn duty to do. We as Americans have allowed our leaders to use chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, torture and everything else we are said to be fighting to stop other countries from doing.
(sadly there is no way as a nation that we could be less Christian than that) So in the end... The most powerful country in the world has sunk lower in it's treatment of mankind then ANY other country in the world, including those we are at war with, because they MIGHT have the ability to do someday, what  we as a nation are doing right now !
Proud to be an American ? No, not at all right now and I won't be until Bush, Cheney and friends are all in jail for their crimes.  And the Buck doesn't stop there either.  Because every Congressman and Senator who has voted for these actions and these illegal wars, is also guilty of undermining our constitution, which I might add, is an act of treason !

Bush Administration Breaks Record
Administration Borrows more from Foreign Nations
than Previous 42 Presidents Combined
A release from John Tanner (D-TN)
Washington, D.C. - President George W. Bush and the current Administration have now borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 U.S. presidents combined.

Throughout the first 224 years (1776-2000) of our nation's history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions according to the U.S. Treasury Department. In the past four years alone (2001-2005), the Bush Administration has borrowed a staggering $1.05 trillion.

"The seriousness of this rapid and increasing financial vulnerability of
our country can hardly be overstated," said Rep. John Tanner (D-TN)

NOT A NEWS STORY... OR IS IT ?
Dear Mr. Bush:
I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions:
1. Going to war was a mistake -- a big mistake. (link)
2. You and your administration misled us into this war. (link)
3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home. (link)
4. We don't trust you. (link)
Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow. Iraq was going to be your great legacy.
 Now, it's just your legacy. It didn't have to end up this way.
This week, when Republicans and conservative Democrats started jumping ship, you lashed out at them. You thought the most damning thing you could say to them was that they were "endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party." I mean, is that the best you can do to persuade them to stick with you -- compare them to me? You gotta come up with a better villain. For heaven's sakes, you had a hundred-plus million other Americans who think the same way I do -- and you could have picked on any one of them!
But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the smearing and just do the obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on the wild side!
Your loyal representative from the majority,

Joke Break !
THIS IS A JOKE,  IT'S NOT A NEWS STORY, OR IS IT ?
Mother Superior was on her way to late morning prayers, when she passed two novices just leaving early morning prayers, on their way to classes. As she passed the young ladies, Mother Superior said, "Good morning ladies."
The novices replied, "Good morning, Mother Superior, may God be with you." But after they had passed, Mother Superior heard one say to the other, "I think she got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning." This startled Mother Superior, but she chose not to pursue the issue.
A little further down the hall, Mother Superior passed two of the Sisters who had been teaching at the convent for several years. She greeted them with, "Good morning Sister Martha, Sister Jessica,
 may God give you wisdom for our students today."
"Good morning, Mother Superior. Thank you, and may God be with you."
But again, after passing, Mother Superior overheard, "She got out of the wrong side of bed today." Baffled, she started to wonder if she had spoken harshly, or with an irritated look on her face. She vowed to be more pleasant.
Looking down the hall, Mother Superior saw retired Sister Mary approaching, step by step, with her walker. As Sister Mary was rather deaf, Mother Superior had plenty of time to arrange a pleasant smile on her face, before greeting Sister Mary. "Good morning, Sister Mary. I'm so happy to see you up and about.
I pray God watches over you today, and grants you a wonderful day."
"Ah, Good morning, Mother Superior, and thank you. I see you got up on the wrong side of bed this morning."
Mother Superior was floored! "Sister Mary, what have I done wrong? I have tried to be pleasant, but three times already today, people have said that about me."
Sister Mary stopped her walker, and looked Mother Superior in the face. "Oh, don't take it personal, Mother Superior. It's just that you're wearing Father Murphy's slippers."

More than 13,000 being held by coalition in Iraqi prisons;
Less than 2% have been convicted
As more and more Iraqis have been detained and released, the insurgency has intensified. The number detained has more than doubled in the last year and a half; the number of attacks has also more than doubled over the same period.
  Recent documents leaked to RAW STORY reveal that as of Nov. 8, coalition forces in Iraq held 13,514 in Iraqi prisons. The documents also reveal the grim landscape of Iraq's internment system, in which just two percent of those detained been convicted. A UN report has confirmed the basic figures.

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson caused heartburn in Washington and consternation in Latin America on Tuesday in calling for the
 assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

"I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war," Robertson said during Monday evening's broadcast of "The 700 Club," his Christian news-talk television show. "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/12456432.htm

Editor's Note to the story above:  Being a Christian means to be "Christ Like" or "Like Jesus Christ".  Jesus came to earth and gave his life in the promotion of world peace.  So any "So called Christian" who is promoting the killing of other people as Pat Robertson has done, thus breaking God's commandments... Is not a Christian at all, but a wolf in sheep's clothing, an evil person, working for the dark side etc...  Personally, I feel sorry for any and all people who have been suckered into giving Pat Robertson any money !
After all, based on the wording of the Christian Bible...
 Pat Robertson's words are nothing short of declaring war against God Himself.
Sincerely,
Reverend Neil Colton

GOP memo touts new terror attack

DOUG THOMPSON

A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and
 "restore his image as a leader of the American people."
The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the
Republican party back from the political brink...

Judge-Accusers, labeled
"Domestic Terrorists"
Participants and activists of a Chicago-headquartered court-reform group face seizure of their properties, assets, goods, licenses, and records, and being stripped of their citizenship and making them detainees without time limits and without trials and without right to consult attorneys.
This stems from recent secret meetings of federal judges chaired in person or via teleconferencing by Antonin Scalia, an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The judges asked for and received from George W. Bush, an order signed by proxy Karl Rove, designating certain persons linked to the court-reform group, as "domestic terrorists" during a "war emergency".
For the benefit and protection of the Judges, Bush invoked certain provisions of the "Patriot Acts" authorizing the occupant and resident of the White House, actually or in effect, to strip such U.S.-born persons of their citizenship rights, privileges, and immunities, and to detain them without time limit and without trial. Such laws forbid the courts to have jurisdiction to hear and consider any challenges whatsoever to the procedures.

***** In Today's America There Is A More Powerful Act Than Voting Blue...
And That's Buying Blue ! *****
You may have voted blue, but every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives.

BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage, so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.

Currently, we are developing an extensive and interactive website where users will be able to monitor corporate activity in real time. We cannot do this alone; we need an army of Blue buyers to be the eyes and ears of this movement. All we have to do is put our money where our mouth is to make it profitable to be ethical.

Our collective buying power WILL make a difference, and we WILL be heard.

Some Thoughts
And the Nintendo generation is all part of their plan !
Welcome to modern day slavery... Where the draft is coming back, the new war machines run with controls much like Nintendo, Where it takes 2-3 incomes to keep an average house running...
What is modern day slavery you might ask ? It's when and where one income from one 40 hour work week will not cover your cost of living. Food, rent, medical, dental, the cloths you wear, insurance, a car, taxes, etc.. ALL OF IT. Where we buy cheap from companies that don't pay their help enough to get off of food stamps unless they have more than one income. Where both parents are working while the TV and video games do the babysitting and big brother is deciding what they should see or play. Where family closeness all but disappears because everyone in the family is too involved with self preservation to see the big picture. Followed by war, lots of wars, a thinning of the herd as some would say,
separating the rich from the poor, and eventually....
More on Modern Day Slavery coming soon... We're living it, so we might as well talk about it.

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
