Quotes
"The phrase should be a contradiction in terms.
If someone referred to Christian adulterers,
Christian drug addicts, Christian prostitutes,
Christian pimps, Christian gangsta rappers,
or Christian acid rockers, most Christians
would get an extremely perplexed look on their face.
But when Christians in the military continue
killing for the state, and Christians not in the military
call for more killing in the name of the state,
many Christians don't even raise an eyebrow.

Russia's
Putin Calls Bush Policy 'Dictatorial'
The "man with a good soul" cannot back Bush any longer
Click Here
Excerpt:
Putin accused Bush of pursuing a dictatorial
foreign policy and said mounting violence could
derail progress toward bringing peace and democracy
to Iraq.
"Even if dictatorship is packaged in beautiful pseudo-democratic
phraseology, it will not be able
to solve systemic problems. It may even make them
worse. Iraq has turned into a major hotbed
of a terrorist threat, a firing ground and incubator
for militants," said Rootin' Tootin' Putin.
Why is Putin suddenly telling the truth?

Subject: the picture of the
soldier smoking
Bart,
I heard an interview on NPR with the guy who
took that photo.
He said he'd received a lot of grief about it,
how it showed the arrogance of the Americans and whatnot.
He said that in reality they were in an extremely
dangerous situation, had been all morning, no one was sure
if they would live through the end of the day. They
found themselves with a brief respite from the fighting;
some might have looked at a picture of their kids
or a letter from home, this soldier got his small moment
of pleasure from a smoke, and the journalist happened
to catch a photo of it.
Shortly after, things got bad again, but I guess
they made it out.

Senate
GOP Seeks to Curtail Filibusters
The bastards are changing the rules
Click Here
Excerpt:
Power-crazy Senate Republicans are trying to
do away with the filibuster.
Bill Frist, (R-Cat Killer), says "tyranny by
the minority" must end and he will do whatever it takes.
That includes what some call the "nuclear option" to
stop Democrats from using the filibuster to
block The Giggler's judicial nominees.
Frist wants to change Senate rules to make it
harder or impossible to filibuster judicial nominations.
It now takes 60 votes to end debate and bring a
nominee to a vote. Even with their new majority of 55,
it is unclear whether Republicans can reach 60
votes on the most contentious nominees.
Possibles:: The call it the "nuclear option" -
having Cheney declare filibusters unconstitutional.
A ruling of the chair can be upheld with a
simple majority vote.
I know the gelding Democrats don't care if Bush
takes total power, but with the GOP allow it?
Christ, is this the 9-11 it will take to wake up
the won't-come-to-work Democrats?
Is there nothing that can wake them
from their eight-year slumber?

Slow-Rolling
Democracy in Ohio
by Robert Parry at consortiumnews.com
Click Here
Excerpt:
George W. Bush's political allies appear to be
slow-rolling a requested recount in Ohio, leaving so little time
that even if widespread voting fraud is discovered,
the finding will come too late to derail Bush's second term.
Though balloting occurred on Nov. 2, more than
a month ago, Ohio's Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell
still hasn't certified an official vote, a move
now expected on Monday, Dec. 6. Since Blackwell also has battled requests
from third-party candidates for an expedited recount,
a review of Ohio's vote now won't begin until Dec. 13, at the earliest,
according to Blackwell's office. [See Boston Globe,
Dec. 1, 2004]
But the Dec. 13 date is the same day the electors
of the Electoral College meet to formally select the President. So
even if
the recount uncovers enough fraud to reveal John
Kerry as the rightful winner in Ohio, it would be too late to change that outcome.
Meanwhile, as Ohio's official foot-dragging has
gone on, Bush's election-night lead has continued to shrink with the counting
of overseas and provisional ballots. The Associated
Press reported on Dec. 3 that its vote tally of Ohio's 88 counties showed
Kerry narrowing Bush's lead to 119,000 votes from
about 136,000 votes, leaving Bush with a 2 percent lead.
But Kerry also might stand to gain a substantial
number of votes from a recount that would examine ballots thrown out by
antiquated punch-card voting machines. They are used
mostly in poor areas, especially African-American neighborhoods
that are Democratic strongholds. Other voters,
believing that Ohio's electronic systems were susceptible to vote rigging,
have sought audits to check for tampering.
I wish Kerry hadn't surrendered so quickly.
I wish Kerry had chosen to stay and fight.
I wish our side had wanted to win this contest.

Subject: regarding Rev Stroud
(gay minister)
Bart, as much as I support Rev. Stroud, the United
Methodist Church acted within its purview.
Rev. Stroud knew that what she was doing was in
violation of canon law and she chose to do it anyway.
Now I would argue strenuously that canon law is
wrong (and it is a shame that six witnesses for
Rev. Stroud weren't allowed to speak to this issue),
but by her choice to be a Methodist minister
she subjected herself to the rules and discipline
of the denomination.
The good news is that her local church continues
to support her, and if she wants to continue
in the pastoral ministry there are other denominations
to which she could go.
SDB
I understand, but when Rosa Parks got on that bus in 1955, she subjected
herself to the rules
which said she had to go to the back and she ended up changing history
- or so the story goes.
I know nothing of Rev Stroud, but what if she's another Rosa parks?
Shame on thise close-minded idiots who freeze out "God's children" for
petty political reasons.
On their very best day, I, BartCop, am more Christlike than any of them
and I pity the fool who wants a piece of that in the live chat room.

Slaughters for Christ
Let us slayeth in His name, all praise to Jesus!

Excerpt:
"What is a Christian going to do when he faces God
at the Judgment and has to give an account of his actions?
Suppose he is asked a simple question: "Why did
you kill those people defending their homes in Iraq?"
And suppose he replied: "Because the U.S. government
told me to."
What do you suppose would be the Lord's reaction
to such a reply? But what else could a man say?
He could not say that the United States was under
attack.
He could not say that Iraq was a threat to the
United States.
He could not say that he was protecting his family.
He could not say that he was protecting his property.
He could not even legitimately say that he was
protecting himself, since he was in fact a trespasser
on someone else's property intending to do the
owner great bodily harm."
These are very simple questions that no Bush backer
can answer.
When you murder over 100,000 innocent civilians, shouldn't you have a reason?
Bernard Goetz killed 3-4, and we sent him to prison.
The Son of Sam killed less than a dozen, and he's in prison for life.
Ted Bundy killed how many, 25? ...and we executed him.
That al-Zaqaurwi dude killed a few hundred, and he has a $25M bounty on
his head.
Bush's partner Osama killed 3,000, and he's hunted worldwide (probably.)
...but George Bush kills 100,000 and wins re-election as "the morality
president."
People of America - what happened to your sense of decency?

The U.S. military has launched an investigation

Some of the photos have date stamps suggesting
they were taken in May 2003, which could make them
the earliest evidence of possible abuse of prisoners
in Iraq. The far more brutal practices photographed
in Abu Ghraib prison occurred months later."

Bush Downplays
Thompson's Food/Terror Worries
What does Thompson know? He's only Bush's Food Czar
Click Here
Excerpt:
Bush played down on Saturday a stark warning
from his resigning health chief that the
nation's food supply is largely unprotected from
terror attack. He said that the government
is doing what it can to safeguard the public from
threats, but much work remains.
"We're a large country, with all kinds of avenues where
somebody could inflict harm," said Bush,
asked about the uppity Secretary's remarks. "We've
made a lot of progress in protecting our country,
and there's more work to be done, and this administration
is committed to doing it. Protecting our food
is hard work - everybody knows that. We're completely
safe and getting more safer."

Bart, you published:
> "But EPA official Kevin Mayer called for calm, saying in
an interview Tuesday:
> 'Alarm is not warranted. That is clear. This is just
as harmless as breathing the air at Ground Zero after 9/11.'"
I suspect that not all of your readers will realize
that you added the last sentence to what you
label as an "excerpt" from another media source,
since you give no warning when you do this.
And then your very next sentence refers to government
lying.
I'm reminded that when Rush Limbaugh is confronted
with his own false statements, he defends himself by
claiming to be a mere entertainer. I see no reason
to accord any more legitimacy to your similar claim of
humorous intent. Willful misquotation without notice
is just plain dishonest, and gives some honest red meat
to the right-wing media critics, not to mention
constituting grounds for a libel suit.
Dan K
Dan, I disagree.
I constantly
tell people not to use bartcop.com as
a research site.
Rush tells his sheep, "Don't
watch the news or the Sunday shows,
I'll watch them for you and tell you
what to think."
Rush constantly
refers to himself as a role model and a "legend."
I remind people I'm a tequila drinking Okie
with an IQ of 64.
Rush depends
on the stupidity of his listeners to make money.
That's why he constantly refers to "Saddam
and the 9/11 attacks."
Rush constantly feeds the perception
that he is "a way of life," and they buy that,
even tho he's thrice divorced and fighting to stay out of prison
due to his heroin problems.
You say, "Willful
misquotation without notice is just plain dishonest."
Look at the second word that appears
on this page every day.
Rush doesn't bill himself as a humorist,
he bills himself as God's gift to humanity
and he tells his sheep he's been proven
correct 98.3 percent of the time.
You also said, "...not
to mention constituting grounds for a libel suit."

Since I can't research or verify or investigate

the humor path which means I'm free to say whatever
I want. With a crazed killer like Bush

we can get.
...and if some "right-wing

Subject: Methodist lesbian minister
It always amazes me when moralistic religious
zealots get on their self-righteous condemnation
of one transgression or another. They seem to have
no problem with rampart runaway piggish
consumerism, flooding the world with countless
tons of needless toxic poisons.
The simple act of driving a car, poisons the driver,
their children, their neighbors, the country and the world.
Look in any parking spot and you will see carcinogens,
and poisons left behind to be washed into the
environment with disastrous consequences for all
living creatures on the planet (not to mention what comes
out of the exhaust pipe.) The sanctimonious finger
pointing barkers of bigotry, so soaked up with superficial
and phony spiritual scum don't appear to have any
troubles, questions or the slightest pangs of conscience a
bout these types of sins.
But by golly, let two people of the same sex love
each other and do no harm to the Earth with their love,
then they are to be scorned, shunned, ridiculed,
attacked, tortured or killed, all in the name of some
(all merciful?and mythical ?) God.
These whores of hatred are so easily manipulated
by our corrupt power hungry politicians, democracy,
freedom, common sense, scientific reasoning hardly
stand a chance.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty tired of Bush's good
puppy media explaining why
it's actually good that the dollar is going down faster than Ann Coulter
on USS Lincoln sailors.
Reminder: Bush
is borrowing money from his good friends the Chinese to give to the Clintons,
Barbara Streisand, Martin Sheen, Michael Moore, Alec baldwin and the other
super-rich in Hollywood.
Did you ever see the MASH episode when Winchester loaned money to someone,
maybe Klinger,
and Klinger had to do anything Winchester requested until the loan
was paid back. So Klinger
became his servant, fetching this and doing that, until the money was repaid
in full.
That's what we have here.
Bush is beholden to the Chinese.
He owes then.
They have favors coming to them - but that's none of our business,
right?
Osama has changed the United States forever - Bush let him do that.
The Saudis have had the Bush family on a string for decades, and now the

their loans.
