Michele Bachmann Wants to Overthrow the Government She is Part Of

S. T. — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:47:17 +0000

Dear religious Americans: Does Michele Bachmann represent your values? She thinks she does. But it’s hard to see how, because she (apparently) despises the poor, the sick, the very government she is part of, and she doesn’t recognize the existence of at least half the country. She wants to overthrow the political [...]

South Afghanistan blasts killed at least 27

See information below on the March 20 peace marches and demonstrations.

“KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A series of suicide attacks in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar killed at least 27 people on Saturday, a senior official said, in the country’s deadliest assault so far this year.

Kandahar authorities appealed [...]

The Coffee Party Bubble of Civility

S. T. — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:56:28 +0000

That’s a very nice, folksy, comforting video. Very well done, for amateurs. Maybe a little too well done. What do people think of this Coffee Party USA movement? I was enthusiastic about this group in a post below. This group just started — in fact they are “kicking off” officially [...]

Time’s Up: Dems Need to Get it Together

S. T. — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:51:58 +0000

Standing in front of a sign saying you are honest does not mean that you are.

The strange, pointless quest by Democrats for “bipartisanship” must end.

Much is being made of the essay below called “I Am Angry” that was written recently, but I don’t think it will be terribly effective. No one in [...]

War and Health Care You Won’t See On TV

S. T. — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:06:24 +0000

You won’t see this in the mainstream media because they don’t care much about debating the purpose or value of the Afghanistan war, and they don’t care about protest groups unless it’s the Tea Partiers. There was a 3-hour debate today on the floor of the Congress on the Dennis Kucinich bill to remove our [...]

More War and Lack of Interest from Our Own Government

S. T. — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:13:21 +0000

No media was present today during the Afghanistan War debate in Congress, a debate that went on for 3 hours and is ending as I write this, in a vote to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, or not. Most of Congress did not bother to show up either, because war has now become so automatic and [...]

Coffee Party USA

S. T. — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:35:20 +0000

Coffee and common sense? That’s part of the advertised combination of the new Coffee Party groups. The premise is that that Tea Party groups do not represent real America. (They don’t represent any country or mentality I’m aware of, except the deranged one.) In contrast to the cynical, angry tea baggers, there [...]

Shocking Truth about Taser Use

S. T. — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:55:42 +0000

Over 330 people have been killed by taser use in the United States. And the use of tasers is growing in the UK.

Amnesty International says 334 people in the US died between 2001 and 2008 after the stun guns were used on them. Taser International, the Arizona-based manufacturer, dismisses these findings. (Christopher [...]

A Move to End the War in Afghanistan

Support Congressman Kucinich in debating Afghanistan War

Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is one of the few members of Congress who actually deserves to be there.

By Robert Naiman

Information Clearing House – On Thursday, March 4th, 2010, Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced H. Con Res. 248, a privileged resolution with 16 original cosponsors that will require the [...]

Pollution Terrorists Attack the Homeland

S. T. — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:15:53 +0000

Republicans love coal so much they eat it for breakfast.

The Republican attacks on clean air, clean water, and stopping climate change are getting completely out of control.

Do Republicans really want to live on a planet — the only one we’ve got, by the way — where the air is choking us and the water is [...]

ACORN: Right this Wrong

S. T. — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:46:03 +0000

James O'Keefe, liar and right-wing operative

ACORN was unjustly smeared by the right-wingers last year, in a campaign against them based on lies and fabrications. The masters of propaganda in the Republican party, including Michele Bachmann, really dug in with the lies against ACORN. As a result ACORN, (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) [...]

Bachmann Sidetracks Debate with Conspiracy Theories on Larry King

S. T. — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:27:18 +0000

Last night, Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida and Tea Party Queen Michele Bachmann of Minnesota (I can’t call her a Representative because she does not represent her constituents) squared off with a ‘debate’ on health care on Larry King. For about 6 minutes. It wasn’t much of a debate because Bachmann needed to [...]

Their God Sucks

Because Jesus Loved the Rich and Greedy

Right-wingers in America have taken over the dialogue in the U.S., taken over the media, moved the entire country to the right, labeled a moderate-right President a “socialist,” blocked health care reform and other good things like taking care of the environment; and now they have completely destroyed [...]

Money for HEALTH CARE, Not Bombs

S. T. — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:50:20 +0000

From Art for a Change (click on image)

It’s puzzling. Other countries — poorer countries — have better health care systems than the United States does and they also offer less expensive treatment. The U.S. has a system where insurance company employees and executives and CEOs make millions of dollars a year basically doing nothing [...]

Climate Witch Hunt by the Inhofe Mafia

S. T. — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:44:12 +0000

James Inhofe leads the charge in the United States against any action on climate change.

Guess who’s responsible for most of the climate change witch hunt against real scientists? It’s Congress’s very own James Inhofe, a right-wing Republicon from Oklahoma. This batty old dude flew to Copenhagen’s climate conference in December, surrounded by thousands of people [...]
