Patriotism demands we must all openly call for Bush and Cheney to step down, despite any personal costsKeith Olbermann led the way on Independence Eve in calling for Bush and Cheney's resignation in the face of their final treason against our beloved Republic.

This Election is about the Constitution!

Re: Stan Katten's article in a Southern California newspaper that begins with: "Whether the traitorous Democrats or the virtuous Republicans prevail could influence this country for years to come."This is one of those articles that is so blinkered that it's amazing it was printed.Calling Democrats traitorous when they have continuously advocated strong measures for protection against terrorist

Reflections of 9/11 and thoughts about the Bush Regime's new vicious campaign against the American peopleLooking back at that beyond-terrible day five years ago, I maintain various streams of thought, not easily processed into flowing prose. Thus, I will enumerate them.The beginnings of my grave suspicions surrounding the events of 9/11 began with the Bush Regime resistance to the forming of an

Rerun for Posterity: Bush's 'Singular' Disaster

2006-08-30T15:09:00.000-04:00

After a year of doing nothing, the dangerous, criminally negligent President Bush still should be removed from powerWelcome to the rerun that President Bush's negligence has inspired. For posterity, I hereby rerun last year's report (originally published 9/7/05) on the disastrous week of Katrina, somewhat reduced for easier consumption...REMEMBER KATRINAMR. LEHRER: New question. We've been

The Bush Presidency has failed its supporters, tooI reprint the following important notice to the American people, copyright torpedoes be damned. This essay is so personal, so gripping and so real, it completely tells the tale of a nation led astray and going through the biggest catharsis since the Civil War. Even though I don't agree with every word stated, I have to believe that the solution

The Return of the Long Lost Art of Righteous Brazenness

2006-05-03T00:54:00.000-04:00

Are Americans relearning how to speak out without fear?The final weekend of April 2006 gave us Americans a big taste of something we haven't beheld for a very long time: People actually standing up and saying things on their mind, apparently without fear of any retribution whatsoever. Americans have seemingly regrasped the powerfulness of catharsis in one full swoop.In one extended weekend, we

Open Season on the White House

No, this isn't about the guy who drunkenly aims at fish in a barrel and shoots his friend in the faceA President dangerous to the republic becoming even more dangerous with each passing day had to expect some blowback. Well, here's your blowback, King George: It's now hunting season all across our great nation. The American people have suddenly realized they all along possessed a hunting

Iraq, Iran, Katrina and now Ritahas President Bush and friends by the nuts, and the republic is on the lineThe singularity draws closer. The storm is not merely brewing; it's chewing up American coastal real estate (not to mention U.S. economic fortunes) at an increasingly torrid pace.

The 'Singularity' of This Latest Preventable Tragedy

2005-09-07T02:33:00.000-04:00

For the sake of the republic, President Bush should resign MR. LEHRER: New question. We've been talking about a lot of specific issues. It's often said that in the final analysis, about 90 percent of being the president of the United States is dealing with the unexpected, not with issues that came up in the campaign. Vice President Gore, can you point to a decision, an action you have taken

The Foibles of Representative Governance

2005-06-16T21:43:00.000-04:00

ON EDIT: The most up-to-date version of the foibles can be found here. This is adapted from a political site that I developed from 1999 to 2004. This material expresses some of my views about our elected "representatives." With all the strange behavior coming out of the Congress the past several years, I encourage you to use the comments area to expand or critique the foibles in the list, or even

Kentucky Senate to make 'unbridled' attempt at subverting the rule of law Oh, Kentucky! Ye ancient land of “unbridled spirit,” of horses, hospitality and horseshit politics... Say it isn't so! (Heck, this state even has Congresspeople with horsey teeth, but that of course belongs in a dentistry blog.) And did I mention this state's got horses? With my writing discipline now restored and

A Tip to the Politically Defeated: Democracy Doesn't End on Election Day

2004-11-05T01:19:00.000-05:00

You're sad. You're down. You're out. Your candidate lost. Game over? Not by a long shot. At this auspicious time in U.S. history, I am especially inclined to state what should be the obvious, to go Kung Fu on your asses and make a simple observation to you jumpy and upset grasshoppers out there: The vote isn't democracy's only tool... nor even its most powerful. We Americans don't

My New Sobriety: What Happened to Democracy 2.0?

2004-10-14T14:46:00.000-04:00

ON EDIT: Democracy 2.0 is now back up and running at d2.stevemagruder.com.Greetings everyone. I assume you're wondering what happened to Democracy 2.0 as well as my other sites. Well, I made a hard life decision, but it's one that I think will turn out to be more beneficial to what I was trying to achieve in the first place. Let me explain... First, with my increasing proliferation of websites
