"What is the real intention of this Kenyan,
Indonesian communist usurper? Is it to provide security for us
or to destroy our security? Judge for
yourself. Seeing targeted destruction of our economy, our security, etc.,
it might be time to start rallies and
protests using our second amendment right to bare arms and organise in
militias."

of our legally elected president, Link

Bush freed Xmas bombers
Excerpt:
Brian Ross of ABC News reports that two of the
four men behind the plot to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day
were actually prisoners of the United States
and that, under Bush, were released into a Saudi art rehabilitation program.
According to Defense Department records, Muhamad
Attik al-Harbi (now known as Muhamad al-Awfi) and Said Ali Shari
were released from detention at Guantanamo Bay
in 2007 despite allegations of material support for military operations
in Afghanistan.
Hard to believe Bush would turn someone loose when they could still
be tortured.

Subject: Racial Profiling
Hey Bart,
Yes, I'm still absolutely opposed to racial profiling because it is based in racism.
Devil's advocate - what if the "experts" say that racial profiling saves lives?
Surely you want them to look closer at a 22 year
old dude from Yemen
than a 65 year old woman from Sweden, right?
For example, how many white guys with buzz cuts
were "detained" after
Tim McVeigh murdered 168 people in OK city?
Zero.
I'm not sure that question makes flying any safer.
So how is a successful terrorist bombing less scary than a failed attempt?
I think a successful terrorist bombing is more scary than a failed attempt
I blame the 24-hour news cycle.
The Blitzer wannabes have to have something scary
to keep us glued to the TV.
True, but any explosive on a any flight is a super-deadly thing.
Liberally yours,
Steve
I'm glad we can disagree and be civil.

Band of Brothers Box Set Blu-Ray DVDs
Just $58 for both w/ free shipping
An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and
harrowing look at combat during World War II,
Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne
infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war.
The brutality of training takes the audience
by increments to the even greater brutality of the war;
Easy Company took part in some of the most
difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy,
the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle
of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a
concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's
Eagle's Nest.
Quotes
"Obama came in and said we're not going to
use the word 'terrorism' anymore, we're going to call it
man made disasters, trying to downplay
the threat from terrorism. In reality, it's getting much more complex."
-- Rep Pete Hoekstra (R-Racist) saying we'd be safer of Obama used the
"T" word more, Link
Sure, it's pure horseshit
but it might be effective because
the we're-afraid-to-fight Democrats don't say, "That's
horseshit!"

Obama, Our
Judas?
Demo base is very angry at him
Excerpt:
Obama probably thinks that if he just hangs out
with his political enemies for a bit that somehow they will learn
to see things the progressive way, isn't that
what Lincoln did? Somehow those guys will start to soften and compromise,
do something for the greater good for a change
rather than look after themselves. But, the reality is, that special interests
and Republicans are playing him for a fool, showering
him with advice that makes sense on the surface, but in the end
results in the betrayal of the middle class (and
America). The end result is the enrichment of those who would crucify
the "good" for 30 billion bucks without much
second thought.

Obama, the
Fallen Messiah
by Max Blumenthal
Excerpt:
Many progressives believed they had discovered
their savior in Obama, who proclaimed in his book,
"I serve as a blank screen on which people of
vastly different political stripes project their own views."...
When Obama announced his plan to escalate the
war in Afghanistan and appeared to stand by passively as
the public option and Medicare buy-in proposals
were scrapped to mollify Joseph Lieberman, the progressive left
went into contortions. Former Obama zealots now
openly attack him as everything from a warmonger to a tool of
Wall Streeters like Rahm Emanuel and Robert Rubin.
"Kill the bill!" has become the battle cry.
The liberal left has become so disgruntled that
a leading Rethug asked me if progressives were considering a primary
challenge to Obama. I laughed and stated that
Obama would win a second term. Whether or not that happens, those
former Obama fanatics experiencing a crisis in
faith should look in the mirror. They demanded a secular salvation fantasy
and participated in the messianization of the
candidate who delivered it to them. They now know that Obama is just a
politician.
What they have refused to acknowledge is that
he would not have fallen so hard had they not lifted him so high.

Why Dean of course! I would also donate

Obama is just sitting on his hands on healthcare
and sending more troops to a stupid war.
He is blowing his presidency in the first year
of office. He could have been a great president
if he had listened to us progressives that worked
to get him elected.

Howard Dean…unequivocally!!
Toss in Kucinich and we have a dream team.

I would vote for Howard Dean in a hear tbeat...or
Hillary...or just about anyone except Obama.
What a huge disappointment. This is where

He seems clueless.

I'd vote for Dean in 2012.

I would vote for Dean if he ran against Obama

Better yet, what if Hillary challenges in 2012?
Even better, what if Obama doesn’t seek 2nd term??

Tommy
Hey Bart, if the primary were today I would vote
for practically any credible primary candidate.
If the presidential election were today I probably
wouldn’t bother to vote!
Ed K
First, Dennis Kucinich then Howard Dean plus Hillary
third and never Obama.
If examined closely I think one could find a
Republican chip implanted in his ass

him upon us.
Have a nice day, Bart and keep hammering.

Easy. I vote Dean.
Because I am mad, and I don’t believe Obama can
or will effectively lead this country.
I had hoped so after the nomination fight was
over, but I haven’t seen any signs of leadership.
He does give a good speech, though.
Keep up the hammerin’!
Michael C
Dean,
James D
I would vote for Dean in a heartbeat.
He is the one that the corporate-media sabotaged
in 2004 because they are scared of any real reform.
Obama has always been a moderate. I voted for
Kucinich because I knew Obama was more of the same.
Democrats had better get their act together because
it looks to me like ANY republican could beat Obama.
He has turned his back on those that got him
elected and they're not going to be there for him in 2012.
I WON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES VOTE FOR
HIM AGAIN. He lied to me.
Maybe racist Joe Wilson was right?
Scott U
I'd vote for Dean.
Gregg H
So far, it's a monster landslide for Dean.
These are the actual results, no kidding around.

sticking with Obama.

This HC
Bill Blows Donkey
by Howard Dean
Excerpt:
If I were a senator, I would not vote for the
current health-care bill. Any measure that expands private insurers' monopoly
over health care and transfers millions of taxpayer
dollars to private corporations is not real health-care reform. Real reform
would insert competition into insurance markets,
force insurers to cut unnecessary administrative expenses and spend
health-care dollars caring for people. Real reform
would significantly lower costs, improve the delivery of health care
and give all Americans a meaningful choice of
coverage. The current Senate bill accomplishes none of these.

WTF?!?!?!?
If I didn't read this on Bartcop I would think
it was from some neo-con.
Israel, which has 100s of nukes, fears Iran???
Who has Iran attacked lately?
Like no one in over a 100 years!
Byron
I guess I'm the only one who thinks Iran with nukes is a bad thing.
Why solve a problem in advance when you could allow Iran to nuke Israel,
which will cause Israel to go totally postal and launch every nuke
they own
which will kill every man, woman and child in Iran?
Sidebar:
The three people who wrote to complain about my position failed to
mention
an alternative because I don't think one exists unless you count closing
your eyes
and hoping things work out. Or praying that God steps in
and saves us.
Why do people think calling me a neo-con and promising to boycott

Rethugs funding Tea Baggers
Excerpt:
The political action committee behind the Tea
Bag Express (TBE) -- which already has been slammed as inauthentic
and corporate-controlled by rival factions in
the Tea Party movement -- directed around two thirds of its spending
during a recent reporting period back to the
Republican consulting firm that created the PAC in the first place.
Our Country Deserves Better (OCDB) spent around
$1.33 million from July through November.
Of that sum, $870,489 went to consulting firm
Russo, Marsh, and Associates, or people associated with it.
OCDB, which built the Tea Bag Express, is essentially
a Russo, Marsh creation, as we've detailed. The PAC's site
was registered in July 2008 by Sal Russo, the
firm's founder. That site also lists Russo as the PAC's "chief strategist."
Tea Bag Express fundraising emails, sent by OCDB
come from another Russo employee, Joe Wierzbicki.
Just for good measure, legendary GOP bamboozler
Howard Kaloogian is also on OCDB's board,
and has close ties to Russo, Marsh.
The last poll I saw showed the Teabaggers pushing the GOP into third
place.
The party of Palin and the Pigboy continues to be ...revolting.
