Very few sane people would equate Democracy with White Phosphorous ammunitions and torture and abuse!  Somehow the nobility of freedom and democracy is lost on a population when you’ve just melted some of their constituents with chemical weapons of mass destruction!  It’s becoming more and more obvious, the propaganda, manufactured by the Bush backed Offices (both government and private) of Disinformation, is losing the battle to the reality of chemical weapons and torture and abuse!  Who in their right mind would believe you want the best for their people when in fact you’ve just raped them?  Who would believe you when you’ve just melted a whole city’s innocent population?  I seriously doubt that “soccer mom” Karen Hughes under the best of circumstances would be able to change a single heart or mind in the Middle-East,but as long as the Bush administration is ordering up WMDs and torture and abuse, simple logic tells us, it’s impossible!

We’ve known Bush couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag---and now we know he can’t find the exit out of a press conference!  Like father like son, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” only this time it wasn’t as messy when a Bush I traveled in the Orient, just more embarrassing!!!  I’m not very confident or proud of having a LOSER IN CHIEF sitting in the Oval Office with his finger on the button of my family’s future!

Having her abominable words “stricken from the record” is not enough to atone for her actions---Jean Schmidt R-OH should make a public apology to Representative Murtha!  Not having apologized shows the world exactly who the coward is here!  Dressing up in the American Flag does not a patriot make, especially when she’s nothing more than a shrill hag!!!  I am sending a Boo and a Hiss, among some rather choice four letter words to Schmidt for her ill conceived and more than crude performance on the Floor of the United States House of Representatives!  When someone said the Congress will only attract the worst of us, they must have had been speaking specifically about Jean Schit.

No wonder George congratulated Brownie for “doin a heck-of-a-job.” Brownie made sure the “have mores” got more!  And as an extra added bonus the whole thing made Repuglican buddy governor Haley Barbour look good while trashing the reputation of Democratic Governor Blanco!  Yep, in Repuglican speak and George Bush speak, Brownie couldn’ta done a better job if he tried!  No wonder FEMA continues to pay Mr. Brown for what the Repuglicans truly believe is a job well done!!!

It is a sad day indeed when manipulation and the sale of perception outranks the truth, and the sellers do not have an appreciation for the lives that will be lost as a result of their propaganda!  There is nothing noble or even noteworthy in lying to achieve a pre-set goal!  In other words, the end does not justify the means and will more than likely in the end come back to bite you in the ass!

“Goss, who has said that he has recruited and trained foreign agents, worked in Miami for much of the time. It is speculated that there he took part in the recruitment of Cuban exiles and immigrants for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, which was crushed by Fidel Castro. Goss was also involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, telling the Washington Post in 2002 that he had done some "small-boat handling" and had "some very interesting moments in the Florida Straits." (Wikipedia) I can’t help but wonder if the fact that Porter Goss was involved with the CIA, the Kennedy administration, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, has anything to do with blocking the release of documents surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy!

Err, exactly who said “racism was over and done”? Racists, that’s who!!!  Attorney General Alberto Gonzales obviously agreed with the racist statements presented as fact without proof when he approved the law requiring voters in Georgia to present a photo-ID in order to cast their vote---an ID that is definitely a “poll tax” because one must pay to acquire said ID!  Jim Crow laws are obviously alive and well in Georgia, with a whole lotta help from Washington, D.C.!  It is disgusting when Repuglicans attempt to return this nation to a time of shame and disparate civil rights by attempting to cast the motives as decent, righteous, and legal!!!

After having observed Repuglican administrations over the years, some more closely than others, and realizing the Repugs are capable of “anything” to promote their agenda, naturally when George Bush was given the presidency on a silver platter, even though the public had cast more votes for Al Gore, I was suspicious!  5 years later, I am convinced they are even more determined, more organized, and certainly more capable of whatever action they deem necessary to accomplish their goals, including following the lead of the suggestions made by Joint Chiefs Chairman Lyman Limnitzer, suggestions which may have originated with Eisenhower so many years ago!  If allowed to continue, we will all suffer the madness!
