Today Bush responded to the vote by the House and the Senate to pass emergency funding for the troops but to limit the length of the war. Bush said that he's going t veto it saying, " ... the American people will know who to hold responsible." I think that's something we can all agree with. But, if Bush does veto funding for the troops I think he's going to have some splainin' to do.
Before black people gained the same legal status as whites they were treated as second class scum. They lived among us and although they weren't officially slaves they did all the dirty work of society and were taken advantage of because of their unequal social status that was related to the color of their skin.
But now we have a new class of nigger, illegal aliens. This time it's not about the color of their skin but the geographical location where they were born. If you were born on one side of a line on a map you have different rights that if you were born on the other side. So we use them as slaves just like we used to use black people. But I don't think there any difference between color based slavery and geography based slavery. It's the same thing.
So it pisses me off when fuckers like Lou Dobbs of CNN is on the air for an hour every single fucking day spreading CNN's message that we need to hate these evil people just because of the location where they were born. It is the same as if CNN had existed in the 1950s and were ranting about the niggers wanting the same rights as white people.
So I ask, what did Lou Dobbs do to earn hist citizenship in America? Did he take a test? Did he go through some sort of long and expensive process that let him EARN his citizenship? No! He didn't do one fucking thing!
So - let's be fair about this. Let's make being a citizen the same for everyone. Let's have everyone take the same test. So if you can't find Washington DC on a map then you get deported regardless of where you were born.
Treating people like slaves just because of the location where they were born is as wrong as treating people like slaves because of the color of their skin. It was wrong to do it to blacks and it is wrong to do it to Mexicans.

The Bush administration and Attorney General Gonzales don't want to testify to Congress under oath. Congress is ready to subpoena them to force them to testify. Bush threatens a constitutional showdown if they do. Can a compromise be reached? Is there a way that Gonzales and Rove can be questioned in a way that the Bush administration would approve of?
Bush and Gonzales have vigorously defended the use of secret prisons in foreign countries as a way of getting to the truth. Both have stated to Congress that they are totally legal, that they are not torture, and that they are effective. So maybe we should send Gonzales and Rove to a secret foreign prison for questioning. How could they object to that? I bet the Democrats would go along with that.

I'm glad to see Republican Senator Chuck Hagel bring up the idea that Bush should be impeached if Bush presses ahead with his failed policy on Iraq. Republicans might have to take a leadership position on impeachment getting rid of Bush before Bush gets rid of the Republican party. In 2006 the Republicans lost the House and the Senate because of Bush's failures. Two more years of Bush could be the end of the Republicans. Perhaps that's why the Democrats have taken impeachment off the table because they know that Bush is dragging them down with him.
Bush is like a cancer in the Republican party and I think in two years it's going to be fatal. Republicans are going to have to choose if they are going to stick with Bush and go down with the ship or save themselves while they still can. It makes me wonder if Senator Hagel is the only Republican who understands this.

It's amazing that Bush again thinks he's above the law and that he can decide if his people are going to testify to Congress under oath or not. It's not his choice. The only question is if the Democrats are going to be intimidated by a fake threat. Suppose it were president Hillary Clinton telling a Republican Congress that her people were going to fight subpoenas and refuse to testify threatening a constitutional showdown. Can you imagine that anyone would seriously consider letter her get away with that?

On the 4th anniversary of Bush's war we have to ask ourselves how many more years will it take before we figure out that the war is lost? Will it be 5 years or 10 years? Yes it is true that if we pull out there will be a civil war but that's going to happen anyway unless we decide to stay there forever One point that people are missing is that if the government doesn't get us out of Iraq we're going to have a civil war here. The people are going to rise up and take the government back from both the Republicans and the Democrats.

Apparently Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind behind the 9/11 has, after being tortured for several years, confessed to the 9/11 attacks, the murder of Daniel Pearl, plotted to kill Presidents Clinton and Carter, and Pope John Paul II. It just goes to show that torture works. That if you torture someone enough that you can get them to confess to anything. Some experts don't think it's possible for one guy to be behind as many things as he's confessed to. But they don't care because what really happened doesn't matter as long as we can pretend someone is responsible.
His confession provides no information. We don't know if he was involved or not in anything. All we know is that he was forced to say he was. Rumor has it that he also confessed to being behind the attack on Perl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the crucification of Jesus Christ. He is currently being tested to see if he is the father of Anna Nichole Smith's baby.

Attorney General Gonzales concedes that he "made some mistakes" as if his firing of 8 prosecutors who refused to participate in Bush's latest voter suppression scheme was some sort of simple error. Gonzales should go to jail for what he did but that's not going to happen because he fired all the prosecutors who had the integrity to prosecute him for it.

People are wondering why gas prices are going up again. Some think it's supply and demand. Some think it's oil refinery maintenance. Some say it's because of China and India. But I think it's none of those things. Last year was an election year and the gas companies lowered gas prices to help Republicans get elected. This year isn't and election year so we're going to have to pay big time. But next year as November approaches you'll see gas prices dropping again.

It's a shame the Scooter Libby was merely convicted of perjury instead of treason. Scooter Libby should be hung because he was a key figure in the web of lies that got America into this war. He is directly responsible for the deaths of over 3000 of our soldiers. Even if Bush doesn't pardon him at best he'll only do 2 years or so. When people lie to get a country into a war that's high treason. And the entire Bush administration is guilty of it.
