It is terribly important for those of us who bask in the light of education, liberal thought and infinite curiosity, to remind ourselves from time to time , that members of our very own species, with whom we share nearly identical DNA, have Internet access and the ability to post ideas such as the following, […]
Please to go ThankYouRockyAnderson.org and leave your thank you to Rocky for expressing our sentiments about the war and this administration.
If you weren’t there, you MUST listen to the speech. It was his best! And the crowd cheering was heard far beyond Utah.
Full text of speech
I have always had an in ordinate amount of respect for Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. Despite being a Republican, Mark has shown tremendous backbone in supporting progressive causes including equality for the GLTB community, youth programs, education, and a “normal” interpretation of law. Mark is the only Republican I have ever voted for, […]
According to previous Salt Lake Tribune polls a majority of Utahns ardently support President Bush and his claims about bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq. It appears however, that they do not support democratic values, at least, here at home. >A poll released Monday by the Salt Lake Tribune showed that a whopping 45% of […]
The dialogue about the US Support of Israel against Hezbolla is drawing much condemnation from many highly respected academics and experts in foreign policy.
It has been suggested that the US unreserved support of Israel’s actions in Lebanon, has given Iran and Syria more permission than ever to pursue their goals in Iran. It has […]

I’d like everyone to take a deep breath and listen for a minute.
The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political goal and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets; they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets […]
Why Bush Can’t Talk: It’s not the drugs, and it’s not senility.

Bush’s press conferences and unscripted remarks are so painfully bad, it spurs the question: what is his PROBLEM?
People have remarked that he wasn’t that way when he was the Governor of Texas, and therefore theorize that he has […]
See Monday’s entire press conference at C-Span or…
…and some commentary on Bush’s unbelievable press conference.
GOP Drops in Religion Poll: 14% dip among evangelical whites
One outragous obvious liar is suggesting that Bush’s claim of having read 60 books this year is not true.

My parents live in a gated condo complex in the DC area, and are friendly with the gatehouse guard, a Vietnam vet who served in the Navy Seals and in the Marines. The fellow, who is in his early 60’s, was in special units that had lifetime call-up […]
One of the most powerful stories ever.
I have nothing to add.
Bear witness to the 2nd coming of King George II and his trusty steed Condoleezza Rice. I say 2nd coming as in a sequel of last August 22nd when George W. rallied the VFW convention to his war. He did this in the shadow of the former Salt Lake VA Hospital now a triage clinic […]
Utah likes to talk a lot about “Family Values” – Utah’s strong commitment to family and children is a major reason that we returned to Utah and why we live in Cedar City, because it is a great place to raise kids.

In all things that affect Utah’s families, we should be setting […]

It all began about a year ago. I had just finished watching the morning news over a cup of coffee, and nothing felt quite right. Having dutifully pecked the cheek of my wife with a kiss, I stood beside my sporty new car with mug in hand. The engine was purring away […]
The Utah Senate race seems to be heating up.
Late last week, in an early morning raid, a small army of well-organized protectors of the political status quo took down all the Pete Ashdown signs in the Foothill area of Salt Lake City replacing many of them with “republican” signs.
Interestingly, Republican Party County Chairman James Evans […]
George Bush–along with Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and Paul Wolfowitz–have led this nation into one of the great disasters of the last century. This war now threatens to become a war between Islam and the West. When Mr. Bush used 9/11 as a pretext for invading Iraq, a nation at peace with the United States, […]
I wonder of any of our well-informed neo-con friends can tell us…
Given that:
- As the occupier, the US is responsible for protecting the civilian population in Iraq.
- For every death from IEDs and other bombs, there are 3-5 injured.
- Approx an average of one thousand Iraqi civilians are dying each month in sectarian fighting (July […]
I don’t live in Davis County. I only know a few people who DO live in Davis County. My uncle lives there. And a guy I went to college with a million years ago, I think his parents still live there. There may be others, but the sum total of people I know in Davis […]
I offer this unedited personal e-mail of today from my Israeli cousin Jacques for whatever perspective it may provide. Thank you Jacques- Love Cliff - 8.14.2006
Dear family and friends,
It has been some time since we communicated with you last.
Today is the first day of the cease-fire on the Lebanese front. After over a month of […]
I must say, I was quite taken by the Mike Wallace interview with Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
You can read the entire transcript here.
I like him. He seems like a peaceful man, kind eyes, nice smile. Certainly nothing he’s done suggests otherwise, as compared with the current occupant of the White House. And certainly his rhetoric, […]
What’s hotter than a blistering hot Meg-Tilly-looking chick but with a brilliant intelect laying out the historical development of the christian identity movement which merged into the moral majority movement and over ran the evangelical churches to demonize homosexuality to mobilize voters to get Bush elected.
