How Embarrassing....

I cannot believe that it has come to this, 'Poppy quarter' behind spy coin alert . I mean seriously? Are we that chicken shit? I really think this country has issues but blames it on the instability of regions in the world that "HATE" America. I can't possibly see why any country would hate us... we just want to help.. PFFFT! Whatever. I think America is too busy trying to play world cop in the name of God. That will only cause grief and further hatred for the US of A.

I can understand needing a military, but to protect us, not to use as pawns in a chess game or the old popular game, RISK... Hmmm, ironic title for a game where you invade countries. I think our militaries would do best to protect us from within our boders, not invading countries because they do not believe what we believe or they have oil the US thinks it needs to survive.

Stop letting the the White House illegally use their power! Bring back the democracy, By the People, For the People Get it through your thick skulls!

One more thing, Rage against the machine was a politcal band years back, but many of their songs hold true today, if not more so. One song that comes to mind is Take the Power Back (Lyrics)

Its not easy being "GREEN"

The further ignorance of Mr.Rove, is expressed in this article.

Now granted, I am not all in favor of the drastic measures that Ms. Crow and Ms. David propose. But some of the points are relevant.

I have been doing a lot of looking around lately. Mostly directed towards the land we live in. Not the world but this country. I have seen reports of Mass killings and attempted mass killings. Lots of finger pointing blaming others for problems that could have been easily well... maybe not easily, but avoided. I have seen where thousands have marched for immagration reform. People getting fired for expressing themselves in a way that is dictated in contract form.

Take the Imus thing.. what he said was bad. I readily admit that. Is it anyworse then some Music group to say the exact same thing or worse? Was it because he was white and talking about a predominately black team. What would have been done if he were black , or they mostly a white team ? Again im not saying it was right, but how far do you take it?

There are a lot of things wrong with this country. Why shouldnt we start here first. Fix ourselves, then if we can help others. We have tons of homeless and disadvantaged here in the US. Our test scores are falling, our standing as a country is falling. We are losing world respect daily.

Imgaine this... What would the country be like if we took half the troops that are fighting in the middle east. Have the army corps of engineers fix New Orleans, rebuild the levies and move on to the other coastal cites that have been damaged. Revisit our coastal cities, rebuilding or strengthing so this type of travesty could not do as much damage.

Why not concentrate on building up our industries. Create more jobs, instill a little more pride in our country. Is it that we have so many people that think some jobs are below them? That the pay is not enough to get them by? Here is my situation.. My wife and I are looking at trying to find her a job. I work mostly out of state and make a good living. Finding her a job is proving to be quite difficult. Since we have a daughter that's not school age, she can not work all shifts. She has not finished college so her options are limited there. Also if you take in account that we live in the country and have to drive at least 30 mins to get to a job, the options again are limited. To take care of daycare.. I can't believe it costs that much... and gas to and from work. you need to find a job that's over 10$ an hour. Try finding one that will work shifts from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and give you that to start out with. Its near impossible. I've looked... So increase jobs, increase support for our familes. Work for America, not some country that doesn't even want us there to start with.

Sorry this was long, but there's a lot on my mind..

Rudy Giuliani exploiting fear for power and personal gain

Very powerful message. Something we were warned about 74 years ago...

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042607B.shtml

Get our Military Out of there, Impeach the President, let them have it back!

"Divide and rule. A new counter-insurgency strategy to carve up the city into sealed areas. The tactic failed in Vietnam. So what chance does it have in Iraq?"

I think I saw this in a movie. Pretty good movie, probably based on the failures of failures! It was called District B-13, read this article and see the movie, think about the concept and you will see what I mean.

I would rather a man or woman use his/her power and status to attract those that wish to have sex or are bought to do so, really only a moral issue and a need to answer to the Almighty one upstairs, than to use it to ruin the lives of hard working citizens in any country the US government has our military invade to only benefit their pocket, future, and their friends. Those of us that sit around and just through life expecting whatever we expect, whether it be a job, safety, security, happiness, etc.... It is time for all of us to realize that if you want any of those things you must get it yourself! This is a free coutry and yes you have the right to be a lazy bastard and blame someone else. But don't start bitching when you sat there on your ass and watched it happen and all of a sudden you have a problem because you are NOW directly affected.

The only one we can trust our freedom, safety and security with is God! Once we understand that Life gets better.

Sorry to get all religious but I have gone to God for things and got them, I have shunned Him and He has shown me what that is like as well.

Let's do the right thing, for ourselves and God!

Pentagon to bar Gitmo Hearings coverage

No reporters to be allowed at tribunals for suspects moved from CIA prisons

All in the name of "National Security?" I'd say they screwed that up a long time ago! Which is why we are one of the world's least trusted and most hated countries.

I'd say they have more to hide than specifics about our security measures.

For instance, Bush has said, "the CIA program “has been, and remains, one of the most vital tools in our war against the terrorists.”"

Why? probably because the "oh so popular" US government has allowed this agency to have free reign and do anything and everything under the radar, in the name of national security. Assassinations, which by the war are illegal last time I checked, another name for it is murder. I believe we have laws against it and it is also one of the 10 Commandments, yet we use terms like, war and national security, to justify it.

If people had the integrity to stay within the statutes of the laws put in place to protect us all. Maybe they would not have anything to hide.

Laws that cut at the core of American democracy have been implemented without public debate...

Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Very much reminds me of what is going on today. The administration is making wrong decisions with the power that we gave them. We must take it back! While their actions and words make them look like complete idiots, America has allowed them to continue to make decisions for Americans, while we are the ones who suffer. They will still get their paychecks, personal security for their families, still be called President whether they deserve the title or not, while the rest suffer for the laws and ideals they have put in place. We MUST hold them accountable!!!

One argument I hear is "But Bush reads the Bible!!!" Really? have you seen him, are there photos? those are easily staged... But guess what?? Convicted murderers, drug dealers, and rapists also read the bible on a daily basis, in hopes that it will make them look good and can get out on faking remorse and for good behavior. Not saying that everyone of them do it, there are some that are actually remorseful of what they have done to another human being and look to God for forgiveness. But that does not change the fact that they are still criminals.

in the article We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us By Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, he says, "Natural law states that people possess the God-given or natural right to govern themselves, as opposed to the earlier concept of divine justification of a king or monarch. Social contract theory is the idea that people in a civilized society consent to be governed by a set of standards and elect representatives in order to protect these natural rights. Most importantly, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, "... That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ..." In other words, the People must always hold their elected representatives accountable for their actions."

God gave us the ability to change our minds, to admit we made a mistake, to pray for forgiveness, and the chance to make things right (called time). Stop thinking about yourself and think about the future of our children worldwide!

Power of the West

The west has always thrown its weight and power around and done what it wishes. The facts are all there about this family, and what harm will it do to help them? We keep getting chances to show compassion yet we continue to look like a nation of hypocrites and assholes! congratulations, onece again you have succeeded. IF this is the most secure nation we should be able to put them on a watch list and help them, rather than torture them for being in a bad situation, wanting to better their lives and be persecuted further by not only their own country but US and Canada as well! These situations are building blocks of hatred for the US and the western world!

We allow thousands of mexican, Puerto Rican, and Haitian immigrants, both legally and illegally into this country every day! But since we are most likely gonna be at war with Iran cause nobody wants to do the right thing and Impeach a couple of criminals because it might make America look bad... Don't we look bad enough? Could it get any worse?
