The Hills Are Alive...

...Does anyone remember the Sound of Music? Remember Liesl and her boyfriend and how that boyfirend becomes a Nazi soldier even though he is little more than a child? Nazi...student...bet you that our government could not use our students against their wills in today's conflict...right? Bet today's lead autocrat would not override the rights, the feelings, the emotions of mankind for his own nefarious desires to rewrite the laws of the land...right? Hmmm

Well it seems that right after 9/11 and BEFORE the Patriot Act was even a minor brain burp in the collective mine field of the Bush regime, they had already begun trawling the records of all students receieving federal aid for college looking for potential terrorists and guess what...despite years of mining this data base there is no evidence that they have found any. Sort of reminds you of the new laws governing high schools being unable to deny recruitment officers having unfettered access to your children while they are in school without your notice so Bush and his minions can snatch them out from under you without your even knowing they are at risk.

The Hills are alive with the sounds of Bushites.

Retroactive War Crime Protection?

World War II. Hitler. Mengle. Himmler. Goerhing. War Criminals all as defined by the Geneva Convention.

The Geneva Convention has stood the test of time...(well over sixty years since the end of WW II)...in dealing with autocrats, despots, demigods, dictators, who felt they had the right to play God and treat their fellow man however cruelly and inhumanely. People are not insects to be crushed beneath the strongest boot, no matter how much power those boots contain.

The Bush administration has drafted amendments to the War Crimes Act that would RETROCATIVELY protect policymakers from possible criminal charges for authorizing humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees. WHY do we need an amendment if the acts conducted under Bush's banner, are not illegal?

IF, however, they ARE illegal, what message would it send to the world if we enact laws to retroactively protect those who ignored the Geneva Convention by abusing detainees? How can America expect fair treatment of HER men and women prisoners around the world, if America can with the swipe of Bush's pen, make America's inhuman treatment of others, OK?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let you Senators and Representatives know that NO ONE is above the law...NO ONE!

Thank You West Wing

West Wing, that show that gave us President Bartlett, also explained about Fridays being DUMP THE TRASH DAY when those brilliant whizzes at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue give the news media those topics they wish to have lose their potentially hurricane force impact upon them and their...oh...do I dare say it?...INCOMPETENCE and downright DISHONESTY...by Monday.

Why else, I have to wonder, would we have been pleasured with the dubious pearls of wisdom and veracity by Condeleesa Rice with David Gregory on MSNBC's Hardball tonight?

I can't think of any other reason...can you?

Liberators...US?

Hundreds of thousands of Shiites are marching in support of Hezbollah today...not in Lebanon...but in Baghdad...you know...Baghdad, Iraq...chanting "Death to Israel. Death to America."

Isn't that the same Baghdad...you know...IN IRAQ...that we were told would meet us as LIBERATORS, with flowers and dancing in the streets? WELL, they ARE in the streets, but thay shur ain't dancin'!

One has to wonder if the Shiites, that our government placed in power, would be marching and chanting in Baghdad had we NOT wrested power from Saddam...you know...back when we turned our eyes away from...oh, say OSAMA BIN LADIN...and focused on that demigod of excess who was far too self-eccentric to belong to Al Qaida?

I know...I'M the delusional one...right? I thought fighting a war was SUPPOSED to go after those who took down the WTC on 9/11 and make US...AMERICANS feel secure. Hmmm...Baghdad...the Baghdad OUR military LIBERATED...has hundreds of thousands of those WE lost 2500 of our finest military personnel over...are marching in those same streets waving flags supporting the HEZBOLLAH...NOT America...and yelling "DEATH TO ISRAEL...DEATH TO AMERICA."

I have a question...If Hezbollah is so GREAT...how come THEY didn't oust Saddam?

But that question aside...we liberated Iraq as an extension???...of the War on Terror sparked by Al Qaida's attack on the WTC...in order to make us...AMERICANS...feel safer within our own borders.

We alienated MOST of the world...that had been 100% behind us when we attacked Afghanistan...and now those that we FREED and placed in power, are calling for the death of Israel AND America.

Do you feel safer?

OH YEAH...IRAQ IS SUCH A MONUMENTAL SUCCESS STORY...dontcha think?

From God's Lips...

...To Bush's tree collisioned mind? GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH!

To the rest of us sizzling like spastic eggs atop Teflon, the myth is easier to see through than the dense heat drenched air.

Have you tried breathing in this cauldron intensified air? I mean surely liquefied eye of newt and wing of bat can't hurt as much...

AND what hurts the most...the naysayer of global warming...Mr...I-Haven't-Met-an-oil-based-by-product-I-haven't-liked...gets to wallow in the best air condtioning that money can buy! OUR...you know...the TAXPAYERS...money!
