 Quotes

"I have been shocked by the growing anti-Christian bigotry that infected many columnists
  and commentators in the wake of the election. For too long, liberal political pundits have been
  telling us that issues like marriage and life divide us as a people. But it's clear that while those
  issues may be controversial, they are not divisive because people reach across such boundaries
  as party, economic status and ethnic group to join together to support and protect the American family."
     -- senior GOP whore Gary Bauer, unable to name names because they don't exist.Attribution
 

 I have been shocked at the ease at which "Christians" will lie to steal money from the sick and the old.
 This would be a better Christmas around the globe if the "Christians" would stop the hate.

 TIME names Monkey "Man of the Year"

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 After winning re-election and "reshaping the rules of politics to fit his
 10-gallon-hat leadership style," (can you believe that crap?) George Bush
 for the second time was chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Year.

 TIME, a whore publication that picks "Man of the Year" using
 increased circulation as their overriding criteria, named the guilty Monkey
 because they need every last subscriber they can find.

 The magazine's editors tapped Bush "for sharpening the debate until the
 choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his
 fortunes - and ours - on his faith in the power of leadership."

 Bush attributed his victory over Kerry to his foreign policy and the wars
 he began in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"The election was about the use of American influence," Bush said.
 

 In America, we reward bungling killers for their crimes. When they kill
 100,000 civilians, we call those crimes against humanity "10-gallon-hat leadership."
 When we give away our futures to the super-rich, the bunglers are given
 four more years to dig the hole deeper. It is a nation gone truly mad.
 

 Here's the TIME cover America needs to survive:

 Chevy Chase Calls Bush 'a Dumb Fuck'
   Honesty is what good comedy is all about...

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Don't call Chase's remarks offensive and act like Bush is a legitimate U.S. president. Just say Chase's opinions
 are his own and leave it at that. I mean, if Cheney, who is supposedly a moral statesman, can use the f-word
 on the floor of Congress, a comedian can surely use it at an awards ceremony.

 Bill O'Reilly, that purveyor of morality who paid millions to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit by an employee
 after transcripts revealed he admitted to having extramarital affairs amid phone sex with her, was indignant at
 Chase daring to "disrespect" the president this way.

 O'Reilly and others overlook how Bush & co. have desecrated the office with the way they lied and cheated
 to get there, and the way they have lied and cheated since. Bush disrespected the Constitution, including in
 violating the part about the president and vice president living in separate states. He said he supported the will
 of the people, then worked to stop the legal counting of votes. He is among the most dirtiest campaigners in
 American history. History will show that his campaign engaged in high-tech cheating and intimidation tactics in 2004.
 He doesn't deserve respect. And Chase reminds us of this in an effective way.

 Subject: give it up

 Look, Bush, Cheney, and the Sundance Rove could rob a bank in broad daylight,
 and be filmed the whole time they were robbing the bank, have witnesses watch them
 run out of the bank as the alarms were going off full blast, flipping the bird at every witness,
 jam into their get-away car marked with the Presidents Seal on the doors of the car, and
 then follow them to the Whitehouse as they jam up to the oval office, closing the doors
 while they count the money, and laugh their heads off, and then later that night having the
 media whores do a huge story on the progress we are making in Iraq

 ...and the Democrats would go about their normal Panty-waste activities, never once daring
 to accuse the President of bank robbery. In fact, when President Bush gives a speech the next day
 stating that security must be tightened at banks, because the terrorists are out of control
 ....the Democrats would support his stance on the matter, and vote for more security.

 Signed,
 I give up Former Democrat
 

 I agree 100% but I'm not ready to give up.
 If Democrats lay down a third time in a row, I'll look elsewhere.

 Gary Webb - Hung Out to Dry
  How Webb's career was shattered, and his suicide last week.

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The furor obscured the fact that "Dark Alliance" built upon more than a decade of evidence amassed by journalists,
 congressional investigators and agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration who found numerous connections
 between the contras and drug traffickers. Some of that evidence was compiled in a Senate report issued in 1989
 by a subcommittee headed by Sen. John Kerry. Other pieces came out during the Iran-contra scandal and still
 more during the drug-trafficking trial of Panamanian Gen. Manuel Noriega in 1991.

 But the contras were always defended by the Reagan-Bush administrations which saw the guerrillas as a necessary
 geo-political counterweight to the leftist Sandinista government that ruled Nicaragua in the 1980s. With a few exceptions,
 the mainstream media joined the White House in protecting the contras -- and the CIA -- on the drug-trafficking evidence.

 Dow's site URL is www.dow.com.

 Torture begins at the top
   by Joe Conason

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The documents also show that officers from the CIA, the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency lodged
"heated" objections to the abusive methods of interrogation used by the military, denouncing them in previously
 secret memoranda as not only unethical but useless and destructive.

 In the files released by the government, FBI officials with special expertise in counterterrorism and interrogation
 techniques recorded their ongoing debate with Army officers about the harsh, coercive techniques authorized
 by the Pentagon. They were as concerned about the efficacy of those methods -- which they believe often
 produce poor intelligence -- as with possible violations of law and regulations. But the commanders overseeing
 the military interrogations simply dismissed the sharp warnings of the law enforcement and intelligence officers.

 The abuses continued, in some cases even after the initial furor over Abu Ghraib. What's more, an internal FBI
 memo indicates that the directive to discard traditional restraints came from the very highest civilian official in
 the Pentagon: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

 Subject: Rude Rich and Republican Presidents

  Bartcop,

        I agree with Rude Rich that we might never see a Democratic President again in our lifetime.
 The American Media is in full Geobels  mode and the youth among us will undoubtedly be branded,
 because their parents already are.  When I speak out about these things, I am considered quaint and marginalized.

        I am an Air Force Veteran from the Viet Nam era (I enlisted to avoid being drafted... I didn't approve of the war
 and I didn't want to be forced to kill Vietnamese).  I am also a career firefighter.  I have spent twenty-five years of
 responding to the aid of others... fighting fires and saving lives (as we like to put it).  I think that those two things alone
 qualifies me as a "real American" (although I have always been a proud Liberal and that seems to undermine my claim).
 I also spent 30 years on and off as a musician, entertaining my fellow Americans for the pure joy of it.

        I remember a couple of bumper stickers that were shoved in my face in the 60's.  "America, Love it or Leave it"
 and "My Country, Right or Wrong".  I remember thinking that they should say, "America, Love it or Change it" and
"My Country, Either be Right, or make it Right".  Now that America is the land of the Greed and the home of the Empire,
 I really don't love it any more.  I feel like a stranger in a strange land.   I try to think of the beauty of our natural resources
 and I think about the dream of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, but it just doesn't do it for me anymore.
 I am still faced with Disney Amerika, the Land of Denial, and Willful Ignorance 101.  Live, Buy, Consume, Die.

        Only in America, when faced with an obvious fuel shortage, would the people buy larger, less fuel efficient vehicles
 to careen down the roads in.  This "fuck 'em all" attitude is prevalent where I live.  When you pull up behind one, you see
 a decal of a pre-teen, nasty brat vandal who is pissing on something.  It's like a belligerent vehicular tattoo.  They also tend
 to put extra lights on their land boats so that when they roll down country roads they can blind oncoming drivers with impunity.
 I think that when they started flying a flag from each window of the HumVee, that was the last straw.

        I have decided that since I don't love America anymore, then I am leaving it.  I realize that puts me into the same category
 as the Miami Cubans who expect others to do their fighting for them, but I don't care anymore.  I want to spend time away from
 the American Media, the Republican Loyalty Oath and an SUV in every pot.  I want to indulge in a culture that is created among
 people who are used to having little money.  I have always found the poorest among us has the most generous spirit and that
 tends to translate into a live and let live philosophy that entices me away from Consumer Land.

 Adios,
 Mark T

 Al-Qaeda to strike Saudi oil targets:
   When Bush needs a favor, Osama comes thru

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Al-Qaeda told its fighters to attack oil sites and foreign targets in Saudi Arabia, as the de facto
 Saudi leader vowed to eradicate terrorism which he said was "tarnishing the image of Islam."

 The Al-Qaeda statement dated Saturday also urged militants to "strike all foreign targets
 and the hideouts of the tyrants to rid the peninsula of the infidels and their supporters.

"In the next few days there will be new jihad against the enemies of Islam," it warned.
 
 

 With Bush as president, no conspiracy theory is too wild - think about this:

 Oil is trading at about $46 a barrel.
 It was trading at about $25 a barrel when the Oil barons stole power.
 That $21 per barrel difference has made trillions for the Bush family.

 Gold is trading at about $442 an ounce.
 It was trading at about $250 an ounce when the Oil barons stole power
 That $200 per ounce difference has made trillions for the Bush family.

 We've lost 1304 American military lives since Bush took office.
 They can't make this kind of "killing" in peacetime.

 The BFEE only makes a "killing" when they start a war in the Middle East.
 Bush 41 did it, and then Bush 42 did it.

 ...and with a nation "at war," it's out DUTY to support the president.
 That patriotic difference has made trillions for the Bush family.

  "Thanks, Democrats!"

 Did you hear the screams? Did you feel the menacing chill? Did you see the black and ominous clouds, moving north?

 immediately, thus solidifying Canada's place as the chilly yet mellow and gay friendly and hockey-riffic epicenter of all known hell. "

 Bart,

 I wanted to take a look at what was in the Tequila Treehouse a year ago,
 and I had to copy the 12-23 issue so others could read it and I could reply to it:

> "Voters who cast their ballots using any of a number of electronic voting systems have no way
> to check that their votes have been properly recorded. A New York election commissioner,
> Douglas Kellner, said: "Using electronic voting machines to count ballots is akin to taking all

Your responses:

> The BFEE will rig elections until the Democrats say, "Stop doing that!"
> Will 2004 be the year the Democrats speak up? Or will they wait a few more election cycles, the wimpy pink tutus?

 In your picture of the Democrats in the pink tutu's were Gephardt, Lieberman,Kerry and Edwards,
.

 ...and if anyone says you flip flop on issues, then I would suggest they go back
 and read some of your pages from last year. You called it right Bart, back in
 December 2003 and as of yet those powerful voices of the Democrats are SILENT....
