The fear mongers are out again.
Boy oh boy. The fear mongers in the Bush cult and their apologist are out in force today!
You see them already out on the propaganda News Networks (CNN, MSNBC and those bastards on FAUX News) screaming about the hate we saw inflicted on the innocent people in London.
The scumbags are already playing right into Al Quedas hands by telling Americans they need to be scared. Where is the inspiration? Where is the leadership? Where are they telling us all we have to fear is fear itself???
No. They are out in front exploiting this as much as they can. Take this asshole Brian Kilmeade on FAUX, he was BRAGGING about:
I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.
What sort of rat fucker thinks that way???
Then later on his partner had this to say:
VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.
KILMEADE: Yeah. Yeah baby! TERROR IS BACK WITH A VENGANCE!! YEAH HAWW!!! Time for FAUX News to score rating off American fears! YES!!!
Take a look at this motherless bastard, Brit Hume:
I mean, my first thought when I heard -- just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, "Hmmm, time to buy."
WOW! People are dying and he's thinking about buying pork bellies.
FAUX isn't the only ones doing this. I heard some skag on WABC radio talking about Bush being a war time President once again.
Then on Primetime on ABC they had Chicken Hawk George Pataki trying to alleviate the fears of Americans by pumpin up Americans fears.
My boy who I work with, is about as apolitical as a human being can get. HE has no horse in any race. He votes but I defy you to tell me who he votes for. But my boy today came up to me and said this about the media "They are doing the work for the terrorist". In other words, they want America to be scared.

WAR PIG GOVERNOR'S SON WANT TO FOLLOW IN DADDY FOOTSTEPS
The Governor of THE GREAT STATE OF NEW YORK, George Pataki's son, wants to follow in his daddy's footstep by punking out of serving our nation in combat.
Teddy Pataki was recently commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marines. God Bless him. BUT Teddy is searching for a Law school deferment so he doesn't have to serve his nation, when it needs him the most...NOW:
I'm sure Teddy Pataki is a nice young man. And the fact that he signed up for the Marine Corps' officers training program while he was still an undergraduate at Yale suggests a willingness to serve his country.
But I would be really mad if 22-year-old Pataki, whose father is Gov. George Pataki, got to skate through the next three years of the Iraq conflict in law school.
The governor, who proudly announced last week that his son has been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marines, also noted that Teddy Pataki hopes to defer his military service for three years until he finishes law school.
Coming only days after 20-year-old Marine Cpl. Ramona Valdez of the Bronx was killed by a suicide bomber in Fallujah, to suggest that Lt. Pataki be allowed to pass the next three years studying torts and contracts seemed positively obscene.
It was another example of how politicians wage war but expect other people's children to fight them.
Sheryl we could not say it any better. There must be a price to pay when you help pimp a war. One of them should be if your child is in the military then he should serve his nation in combat. God Bless him and that he never suffer a scratch on his body, just like every other American serving in Iraq. However if he goes to Iraq what ever happens to him would be up to God.
But, if George Pataki has sleepless nights every single day his son is in Iraq. If the phone rings and it makes his heart skip. If watching the News about insurgency takes years off his life. Then so be it. He helped pimped this war. Maybe the experience will teach George to be a little less anxious when pimping a war other people's (Or his own) children have to fight.
But, The Boys at the Rat know that Teddy is a Governor's son. He's got as much of chance fighting in Iraq as the Bush twin's do.
"Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,"- Creedance Clearwater Revival

Instead of a kind gesture or a warm handshake, Sheehan said she immediately got a taste of Bush arrogance when he entered the room and "in a condescending tone and with a disgusting loud Texas accent," said: "Who we’all honorin’ here today?"
"Honorin'"??? How about offerin' her som' Barbecue while yer at it. Dinkle berry her son DIED for your dumbass war! How about some decency???
"His mouth kept moving, but there was nothing in his eyes or anything else about him that showed me he really cared or had any real compassion at all. This is a human being totally disconnected from humanity and reality. His eyes were empty, hollow shells and he was acting like I should be proud to just be in his presence when it was my son who died for his illegal war! It was one of the most disgusting experiences I ever had and it took me almost a year to even talk about it," said Sheehan in a telephone conversation from Washington D.C. where she was attending a July 4th anti-war rally.
Sheehan said the June 2004 private meeting with the President went from bad to worse to a nightmare when Bush acted like he didn’t even want to know her name. She said Bush kept referring to her as ‘Ma’ or ‘Mom’ while he "put on a phony act," saying things like ‘Mom, I can’t even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother.’
"The whole meeting was simply bizarre and disgusting, designed to intimidate instead of providing compassion. He didn’t even know our names," said Sheehan. "Finally I got so upset I just looked him in the eye, saying ‘I think you can imagine losing someone. You have two daughters. Imagine losing them?’ After I said that he just looked at me, looked at me with no feeling or caring in his eyes at all."
Sheehan said what really upset her about the meeting is that Bush appeared to become annoyed and even angry at her daughter Carley, 25, who also attended the White House get-together.
"My daughter said to him directly ‘I wish I could bring my loved one back’ and he said something like ‘so do we.’ Later she told me that after he made his remark he gave her one of the filthiest looks she had ever had gotten in her life.
Lord help us. This person is the most powerful man on the planet...And whats sad most Americans like that.

Liberals: Freedom of the Press

Liberals: A woman's place is wherever she wants it to be
Marriage
Al Qaida/Taliban: Marriage is only between a man and a woman
American Taliban: Marriage is only between a man and a woman
Liberals: Marriage is between any two people who love each other
We could keep this up all day, I suspect. Remember, the point isn't that the American Taliban is just like Al Qaida (though given the chance...), the point is that there's no reason that liberals would ever "root" for Al Qaida or the Taliban or any of the crazies in the Islamic fundamentalist world.
The reasons we hate the American Taliban are the same reasons we hate fundamentalists of all stripes -- they seek to impose their own moral code on the rest of society, and do so with the zeal and moral absolutism possible only from those who believe they are doing "God's work".

I got this idea from Kos but it seemed appropriate anyway in this day and age.
Read it:
The Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

It has been revealed that the treasonous son of a bitch that narked on CIA agent Valerie Plame is none other then Bush's Deputy chief of staff Karl Rove.
In case you don't know, back in 2003 when Bush was trying to sell his war to the American people, during the State of the Union, he claimed that Iraq:
Significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
Only problem was Ambassador Joe Wilson, a man who Bush's own father George H.W. Bush once called a "hero" was the one who went to Africa to look into that and he found NOTHING. Wilson, being a man who loves his country, wrote about it in the New York Times.
This ticked off the Bush cult. Someone then told that scum bag, Robert Novak, that Wilson's wife Valarie Plame, was a CIA operative. Novak being the twerp that he is committed treason and revealed in his column the identity of Valerie Plame.
Both the Bush official and Novak committed treason. Today we found out that the treasonus bastard, is Karl Rove. The same Karl Rove who was pumpin his chest about how liberals didn't want to fight the war on terror.
Why Karl Rove isn't in handcuffs is a mystery to us.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ARMY "RECRUITMENT"
What a coincidence, as soon as the cult leaders' minion, Rumsfeld, took over releasing Army recruitment numbers, voila! They end their four month streak of not meeting their quotas:
For the first time since January, the Army met its monthly recruiting goal in June, but still faces what some senior Army officials say is a nearly insurmountable shortfall to meet the service's annual quota.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard B. Myers, told a town-hall meeting at the Pentagon today that the Army had exceeded its June quota, but gave no details. Senior Army officials said in interviews earlier in the day that the Army had exceeded the goal of 5,650 recruits by about 500 people. The Army Reserve also made its first monthly quota since last December, the official said.
But that still leaves the active-duty Army about 7,800 recruits behind schedule to send 80,000 enlistees to boot camp with only three months to go in the recruiting year, which ends on Sept. 30. The Army has not missed its annual enlistment quota since 1999, when a strong economy made recruiters' lives miserable.
Army officials insist that they can still reach their annual goal, especially with hundreds of new recruiters on the street, armed with big enlistment bonuses and greater leeway to recruit more high-school dropouts and lower-achieving applicants.
But privately, senior Army officials voiced skepticism today that the Army could make up the deficit. "If you ask people point-blank, we just don't have enough time left to make it," said an Army official who has been briefed on the June figures but spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Pentagon does not plan to release them publicly until early July.
Here's the rub gang, first if you analyze closely what REALLY happened. They didn't actually hit their quota. What they did was LOWER it to the point were they CAN reach their quota. They are still VERY much behind in their 2005 goal. They would have to average over 9,000 per month to reach their goal of 80,000!!! They can't do 7 grand much less 9!
All they did was try to take some of the heat off they were slowly getting in missing the mark. This is DANGEROUS. Why? Cause any Bush voter with a guilty conscience who was thinking about serving their nation cause we needed them (HA!) will now change his mind. "Why would I join now? Thing seem to be back to normal" NO! Slappy they are NOT! Bush is fucking with our safety again JUST to save face!
Americans need to understand to win this war and get our guys back home we need SHARED SACRIFICE! They need to understand that we need an exit strategy and our guys need the best equipment. Also requires sending in the PROPER amount of forces our Generals are PLEADING for so they can stabilize that country and get out! Bullshitting us with this Kevin Bacon in Animal House " all is well" bullshit is just plain stupid.
