Fire All The Republicans

 

 

* You Must Vote - Moore said the right was angry because it realized

that it espouses a minority perspective and that Moore represents the

feelings of the average American.... " The majority of Americans want

strong environmental laws. The majority of Americans don't want

assault weapons.

 

The majority of Americans want health care. The majority of Americans

believe the war is wrong, " Moore said. " The reason they are angry is

because they know the game is up. They can stay in power only if we

stay in bed on election day. " " What could be more American than

questioning those in power? "

 

* War Crimes Hearings by Veterans - Sgt. Scott Camil of the 1st Marine

Division, in Vietnam from March 1966 until November 1967, explained

that the main thing was that if an operation was covered by the press

there were certain things we weren't supposed to do, but if there was

no press there, it was okay. I saw one case where a woman was shot by

a sniper, one of our snipers. When we got up to her she was asking for

water. And the lieutenant said to kill her. So he ripped off her

clothes, they stabbed (snip)

* Lest We Forget and Repeat the Past

 

Time to Commit - Bush has thrown 160,000 veterans off VA healthcare,

and his new Veterans budget will substantially raise fees for the men

and women who have put their lives on the line defending our nation.

In the midst of a major crisis in affordable housing, the president

also wants to decimate the Section 8 program....This campaign isn't

about George Bush and John Kerry. (And it certainly isn't about Ralph

Nader; a progressive vote for Nader is in effect a vote for Bush.)

It's about a corporate class that has gained unprecedented ground in

the last four years and, by extension, the territory ceded by the rest

of America. " (September 23,

* Vote Against Bush

 

USS Liberty Incident - Yes, Israel has received favored treatment and

the reasons are deep and complicated, sometimes emotional, sometimes

by perceptions, right or wrong, that Israel is threatened, sometimes

by treaty arrangements and contingencies of peace treaties and

attempts at achieving peace by presidents and the Israeli government

and sometimes by joint arrangements for defense. The U.S. sometimes

looks the other way and sometimes encourages violations of laws, both

legal and moral. There is a right-wing in Israel which must be opposed

by all progressives. If this was a right-wing plot it should be

exposed, but I don't believe it was. I believe this was a case of

friendly fire and to make anything else of it is dishonest and wrong.

Having said that and pursuant to the article by me, which is attached

herewith, Israel must be pressured to end the occupation of

Palestinians and we must encourage progressives in Israel

and Palestinians to come together and reconcile their long established

differences in favor of peace and self-determination and security.

This will take progressives working together in Palestine, in Israel,

and elsewhere. While it is possible peace can be achieved in two

separate countries, the ideal condition, which I support, is one

secular country based on ultimately a blending of Muslims and Jews and

emerging as one people united with common goals and seeking justice...

* Progressives Seek Truth and Justice

 

Body Bags - Bush got a gift of September 11th. It turned his approval

rating around and he had his glory war for oil with Iraq. Now he is in

deep doodoo and he can't even say " I'm sorry " or go to a fallen

soldier's funeral. That is because he lied to ya folks. AND the

employee who took pictures of all those coffins which appeared in the

Seattle paper and now are on the internet was fired. You just can't be

trusted to know too much or why 77,000 American body bags were ordered

by the Pentagon for the war

in Iraq. (September 20, 2004)

 

 

* Trashing the Truth

 

Bush Crime Family - The Preface to The Secret Government: The

Constitution in Crisis with Excerpts from " An Essay on Watergate " by

Bill Moyers, from Seven Locks Press, 1989 is illustrative of another

time, in some ways not so different than this one where a president

violated the public trust and lied and people died, and soon if we're

lucky George W. Bush will be gone also, but like post Iran/Contra it

is unlikely that anyone will be punished, in spite of the veterans

with missing limbs and tens of thousands of Americans and Iraqis who

are dead because of the policies of the imperial presidency and the

right-wing zealots who work for the Bush crime family. (September 18,
