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.
