Military Worship & the Republic
  by Ivan Eland  as seen on consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
During key moments of the Iraq conflict, Bush's supporters have silenced war skeptics by
charging that any dissent would hurt the troops. War critics were accused of undermining
morale of American soldiersor demeaning their sacrifice.

Satirists have summarized this debate-stopping question as "why do you hate the troops?"

Yet beyond the question of whether you're "supporting the troops" by keeping quiet as
they are dispatched to an unwise war, there is the additional question of whether venerating
the military is healthy for any democratic Republic. In this guest essay, the Independent
Institute's Ivan Eland addresses that issue:

Can Bush get much Lower?
  as seen in the Tahlequah, OK Daily Press

 Link

 Excerpt:
The president has sunk so far down in the polls it's hard to imagine he could get any lower.
And it's no wonder: Even staunch loyalists are at pains to name one positive thing Bush has
accomplished during his five years in office, except perhaps the seating of two new justices
(presumed to be conservative by ardent Bush supporters, who could be sorely disappointed
if they merely turn out to be fair).

The usual response from Bush fans, when asked such impertinent questions about their fearless leader,
is to fire another accusatory salvo at his predecessor, whose peccadilloes are not only irrelevant to the
situation at hand, but pale by comparison.

Bush's "political missteps," on the other hand, would fill several pages, even with small type.
 

When the Oklahoma knuckledraggers turn on Bush, he's in serious trouble.
If we could only get the Democrats to wake up.

All the President's Leaks

 Link

 Excerpt:
The president's defenders want you to think that when it comes to leaking, every president does it.
Why should Bush be held to a different standard? Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Nazi.) told CNN that Bush was
innocently asking itself, "How do we get the full story out there?" Besides, since the president can authorize
the declassification of anything he chooses to declassify, he can't be involved in anything untoward.

"This was not a leak," Joseph diGenova, a GOP spin doctor said.
"This was an authorized disclosure."
Ah, yes, it depends on what the meaning of the word "leak" is.

That sounds familiar, doesn't it?"
 

Yeah, but Clinton didn't send 2500 men to their deaths when he "lied" about sex
so there are some slight, minor differences if you look close enough.

Yes, He Would
  by Paul Krugman

 Link

 Excerpt:
"But he wouldn't do that."

That sentiment is what made it possible for Bush to stampede America into the Iraq war and to fend off
hard questions about the reasons for that war until after the 2004 election. Many people just didn't want to
believe that an American president would deliberately mislead the nation on matters of war and peace.
Now the military warns that Bush may be planning another war. The most alarming of the warnings come
from Seymour Hersh, the veteran journalist who broke the Abu Ghraib scandal.  Hersh suggests that Bush
believes that a bombing campaign could lead to regime change in Iran - and that they refuse to rule out
the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

"But he wouldn't do that," say people who think they're being sensible."

Loser Nation
 by Greg Palast

 Link

 Excerpt:
Looking out at today's temptest-tossed masses of protesting immigrants, the wretched refuse just
looking for a break, I finally figured out what's wrong with George W. Bush.  He's so far away from
his refugee loser roots that he just doesn't get what it is to be American. So he steals the one thing that
every American is handed off the boat: a chance. It's not just the immigrants denied a green card.
When Bush threatens to take away your Social Security; when Bush's oil wars hike the price of crude
and threaten your union job at the airline; when Bush tells you sleeper cells are sleeping under your
staircase, you don't take chances anymore -- you lose your chance -- and the land of opportunity
becomes a landscape of fear, an armed madhouse.

You want to say that George W. Bush is an evil sonovabitch?
I'd go further: he's un-American.

Subject: down on Democrats

I simply don't get it.   I don't see it.
Pelosi has been out front.
Reid has been out front.
Kerry, Kennedy, Feingold, Clinton, Biden.
What more do people expect from them while they still have no power?

They still have the power to speak, but they usually save that to trash McKinney and Dean.
At this point, I'd almost be happy with lip[ service, but we can't even get that.
Or, if we do, it's a message with 40-word sentences that nobody can understand..
 

I think they have used the little power they have to keep the Bush agenda derailed
and to have put the GOP in a horrible position going into November.

You mean when they voted to coinfirm Bush's Nazis on the high court?
That's hardly derailing his agenda.
Those gross mistakes will haunt us for decades.
And the GOP got themselves into their own mess.
This isn't a Demo trap they fell into..
 

I'd would like to see a little more rah rah, root for the home team as we really gear up for the midterms.
Is showing dems in a pee puddle your idea of motivating people to vote?

Besides wet themselves in fear, what have they done?
I'm just calling them as I see them.

Maybe if they weren't all Bush apologists they could get on Russert or Face the Whore
or This Whore with Judas Maximus, but if all they're going to do is agree with Bush and 
trash McKinney, Murtha and Dean, Russert would rather have newsmakers on.

I'll give you the Nancy Grace guarantee that if a high ranking Democrat called Russert and said,
"I'd like to come on call Bush a liar, a thief, a fraud and an incompetent war president,"
he'd let them come on the show and he'd give them all the time they wanted..

C'mon Bart.  We need every bit of help we can muster.

Subject: Bush's leaks

Bart, I've been thinking about the Plame leak and Bush's explanation.
I just don't buy it.

The timing is all wrong.  Not just the timeline of events, but the timing of releasing the information.
Libby has been squirming like a hooked worm for months now and Fitzgerald's investigation is
getting closer and closer to the inner circle.  If the President legally and ethically released the
information to the public, then disclosing that fact up front would have saved them investigative scrutiny.

No, I suspect that this was all dreamt up by their lawyers recently and the real truth is that Cheney
gave the information to Libby on his own and now Bush is covering up for him.

Am I just another conspiracy nut?  Have I been pushed over the edge from
one-too-many lies (everything from "I choked on a pretzel" to "war is a last resort")?

Rick L
 

Rick, I think you've nailed it exactly.
They back-dated the de-classification to make the crime legal.

Iran to Bush: You Don't Have the Balls to Invade

 Link

 Excerpt:
Iran's handjob president said Tuesday that the country "has joined the club of nuclear countries"
by enriching uranium for the first time — a key process in what Iran says is a peaceful energy program.

The announcement was certain to heighten international tensions. The U.N. Security Council has demanded
that Iran stop all enrichment by April 28 because of suspicions the program is designed to make nuclear weapons.
 

Hey Bush - lookie here!
We're geting nukes, nah, nah, nah. nah.
What chu gonna do about it?

Tiger Woods Spazzed Up
 The BBC attacks Eldrick

 Excerpt:
Tiger Woods was getting down with the disability crew last night when he admitted he had
the ability to play golf as well as someone with Cerebral Palsy. Or maybe it wasn't meant like that?

"I putted atrociously. It was frustrating. I was so in control from tee to green,
the best I've played for years ... But as soon as I got on the green I was a spaz."
 

Hey, it's American slang and he wasn't trying to insult the sick kids.
Yes, Tiger has a potty mouth that makes me look like a nun, but this is a bogus charge.

Christ, you can't say anything these days without someone setting off their hissy.

"Bush has not yet been held accountable for any of his actions over the past 5 years. Why start now?
  He knows that the press, which has enabled his lying and political backstabbing, will never hold him
  accountable because to do so would be to expose their complicity in this disastrous government.
  The Republicans are telling us to move forward, when every act they take moves us backwards."

Subject: Why do you hate Tom Cruise?

What has he done to you?
Can you explain that on your website?

Faisal
 

Faisal, I don't hate him, he's just such an inviting target.
He's the most overrated star in all of Hollywood, and that's saying a lot.
He's the poster boy for "Life isn't fair."

Do you know Philip Seymore Hoffman?
He's probably 100 times a better actor than Cruise,
but Cruise will make 100 times more money than Hoffman.
Tom Cruise is Britney Spears 25 years from now.

I'll say two good things about the man:
He's got a good eye for what will make money.
He's not afraid to work with the best actors in the world,
    which makes me wonder if he understands how bad he can't act.

The Coming Election Disaster

 Link

 Excerpt:
...the involved vendors were very successful in the media with deflecting the blame from
their machines to "human errors" or "glitches". However, when you listen to people who
were there and who saw and worked through the problems you get a very different picture...

As these primaries were being conducted Summit County Ohio announced that over 70%
of the memory cards for their precinct based optical-scan machines would not work.
The vendor, ES&S, announced that their memory card contractor had made mistakes
on some cards and they would be replaced. Memory cards for electronic voting machines
store vote tabulations amongst other things.
 

We've been screaming at the DNC to fix this since the last after kerry caved in.
They have refused to take any meaningful steps - that I know of - to stop Bush's voter fraud.

National Archives Coverup

 Link

 Excerpt:
The National Archives agreed to seal previously public CIA and Pentagon records
and to keep silent about the role of U.S. intelligence in the reclassification, according to
an agreement released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The 2002 agreement, requested three years ago by the Associated Press and released
this week, shows archivists were concerned about reclassifying previously available
documents — many of them more than 50 years old — but nonetheless agreed to keep mum.

"NARA will not disclose the true reason for the presence of AFDO [redacted] personnel
at the archives, to include disclosure to persons within NARA who do not have a validated
need-to-know," the agreement says.

Subject: using Bart logic

Using your logic, don't you have to argue that Congress _must_ support a strike against Iran?
They can't be _absolutely sure_ that there is no danger from WMD in Iran, and the stakes are impossibly high.
So there will be no choice but to back military intervention when, as it seems he will, Bush asks for backing
in a few weeks or months.  Isn't that right? Or, how do you get around the "absolutely sure" hurdle?

Because we need to be able to get around it.
 Tacky
 

Tack, if Iran gets their finger on the trigger, we'll have to take action to stop them.
But they weren't a problem under Clinton because he didn't threaten them.

Bush knew by threatening North Korea, Iran and Iraq, then invading Iraq, that North Korea and Iran
would have to nuke up which would start wars which his friends could use to steal more billions of dollars.

Bush created both problems..
