Torturers In The White House:Now that we know this to be true, our government had the brazen disrespect to violate the War Crimes Act of 1996, the Geneva Conventions and basic human rights in the name of justice………it is time to be afraid, to be very afraid. What could the democrats do other than announcing that the country should be at the highest state of emergency.
We now have confirmation that the President of the United States gave the OK to torture. Where is the media? Where are the Democrats?
Torture Temptress
Next President the greatest?
Have you ever noticed recently how George W. Bush has the next president doing all the wonderful things he couldn't do in his eight years? Like producing a budget surplus or halting the growth of greenhouse gases, just to name two.
The latest rovian buzzword is "pause."
As in, when "stay the course" is morphed into a "troop pause."
Bush Administration: Olympics Not Political
Cop-out to skip Olympics:Quiet Diplomacy? Bush sending a STRONG message to China by remaining quiet. At first, I thought this was a joke. But then it dawned on me we are talking about George W. Bush.
"If other countries are concerned about that, they ought to do what we are doing through quiet diplomacy, send a message clearly to the Chinese that this is an opportunity with the whole world watching" -- Stephen Hadley
Populism: Academic and scholarly definitions of populism vary widely but most agree it is a discourse which supports "the people" (originally farmers and laborers) versus "the elites".
How many times have you heard that Barack Obama is a populist or has a populist message? Yet from those very same hacks (usually Fox Channel), they’ll follow that up by saying most of his supporters are wealthy and educated. There is no better way to divide millions of Obama’s supporters than by claiming his twenty dollar donors (the people) are supporting the intellectual and wealthy (the elite). Divide first, then conquer.
Bush Worst President Ever
Harpers Excerpt:
“No individual president can compare to the second Bush,” wrote one. “Glib, contemptuous, ignorant, incurious, a dupe of anyone who humors his deluded belief in his heroic self, he has bankrupted the country with his disastrous war and his tax breaks for the rich, trampled on the Bill of Rights, appointed foxes in every henhouse, compounded the terrorist threat, turned a blind eye to torture and corruption and a looming ecological disaster, and squandered the rest of the world’s goodwill. In short, no other president’s faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large.”
Big Oil: High Prices Not Our Fault, this time.
They responded that their companies already are spending on alternative energy projects and argued that new taxes would dampen investment and could lead to even higher prices.If Congress terminates the $18 billion dollars in subsidies,Big Oil said the price of gasoline will go up. Some call this a public/private partnership, others call it blackmail.
One of my own beliefs about the previous high cost of gasoline over the past 4 years was based on Cheney's secret "Energy Task Force" meetings held in the White House prior to the invasion of Iraq. Here, I believe Cheney gave Big Oil full manipulative control over pricing to avoid any potential shortages at the pump during wartime. The last thing the Bush Administration wanted were 70's style oil embargo rationing and anger at the pump. That's all changed now that Saudi Arabia is no longer beholden to America and OPEC now has a thorough understanding of American free market principles. After they rebuffed Bush's request to increase production (why increase production, there are no shortages?), he sent his bulldog to try to talk some sense into them. Since then, oil jumped another $15 a barrel.
Results are in from “Peak Bush” economy.
Rich getting richer, bigger, larger, greater and faster than ever.
Sounds like another tax cut for the wealthy is in order.
