Political Healing Begins When Republicans Make Good on Rule of Law

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Bush and many others need to be tried in a court of justice. Justice and Rule of Law are the cornerstones of democracy.

Lets be honest, the number should at least [...]

The Poison Fruit from the Tree of Corruption

There’s been a great deal of talk about corruption in politics.

Did Anybody Anticipate Bush Would Be The Worst President Ever?

Friday, September 19th, 2008

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, May 16, 2002
I don’t think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile. [...]

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Word 4 word from The Existentialist Cowboy
Like a cornered dog, the BBC has lashed out at a growing movement of organized critics of Bush ‘conspiracy theories’ of 911. How credible is this offensive? BBC reporting of 911 is at the very least ‘questionable’, at worst, ‘dishonest’. I suggest that the BBC is trying to save [...]
