Republicans Today and Tomorrow

Labels - Crutch of the Weak-MindedLabels are by the far one of the most useful tools for the true believer to cast upon free thinkers. The prevalence of categorizing those who oppose one's point of view is a way to dismiss and encourage others to thereby dismiss even considering the opposition's viewpoint, facts and ideas. It's a technique that works for organizing the ignorant and stupid who choose not to think for themselves, but are swayed by the emotionalism of those they feel know more than they do. Free thought, ...

MOVING TO CANADA IS A JOKE...The Economic, Military, and SocialEh? I can think of scores of reasons to move to Canada (or opt for the Mexican Riviera) . . . any place but Babylon the Great: The USA. The War in Iraq . . . or better yet: The entire Military-Industrial Complex sucking the life-blood out of Americana for starters (Witness the latest revelations on "Operation Able Freedom"--see below). Or, how about the whole hedonistic culture of greed, avaricious appetites, and super sizing all things godly and ungodly--from Hollywood to Mega Churches; ...

Stand Up to the Republicans!My recent columns have focused on the problems in the health care system and why the Democrats don't seem to be making things any better. It seems that despite their large majority and control in both houses of Congress and the White House have not given them the courage to push for the reforms they were voted in to create. What's worse, is that instead of passing real reform, or even doing nothing, they seem to be allowing and backing many of the issues that the Republicans are bringing to the ...

2 Moms and a War"No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology." - Ronald Reagan One would think that Reagan's remarks left little room for a mother to tolerate the death of her son in a "war of choice". Furthermore, based upon his words, one would think that he would wholeheartedly support the inquiries and protest of the mother of a soldier who died in a war based on malleable and questionable rationales. One would think so... that is, if one ...

TOP REPUBLICANS RAISE THE VOLUME ON TEN COMMANDMENTS JUDGE ROYWhen former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore acted on principle and refused to adhere to a federal court order that he considered was both unlawful and improper, he never thought that his actions would lead to an overwhelming groundswell of support from across the country. His stance made headlines and brought international attention to this modern-day, David vs. Goliath showdown. Now, the same group of political and religious leaders that supported his actions then, are calling ...

Rent - A - Pundit Television's 'talking heads' share a symbiotic relationship much more important, to them at least, than politics and/or ideology. This relationship can properly be described as an airborne disease attacking healthy debate within the body politic. Consider the following names and try to determine what they have in common: Al Franken, Brit Hume, Ann Coulter, Bob Woodward, Dan Rather, Ed Meese, Dick Morris, Eleanor Clift, Governor George Pataki, Henry Kissinger, Fred Barnes, George McGovern, ...

America's Dirty Little SecretHurricane Katrina has, for all intents and purposes, destroyed one of the most wonderful of all our American cities, New Orleans. It has been five days since Katrina hit and the Federal Government has no idea what to do about it. Our wonderfully absent President George Bush said yesterday 'we had no idea this would happen' (or some such rubbish). Yet there have been published studies and news reports over the years that predicted exactly this kind of a catastrophic disaster. One of the most ...

President CNNMSNBCFOX Media coverage of the ongoing Bush/Sheehan matter is worth following, not for its substance - that is sorely lacking - but rather, for the audacity the media is showing by giving its favorite child a public spanking. "Media" refers to the conglomerates that currently pose as the fourth estate and, in effect, lull the public into thinking it still has someone or something looking out for it by checking government excess and/or abuse of power. In the current Bush vacation/war/Cindy script, the ...
