FISA Fleecing and Fear-Mongering Continues

President Bush stepped up his rhetoric this morning at a press conference while utilizing the usual lies and fear tactics in his attempts to coerce Congress into passing an illegal law to keep his illegal activities covered up — at the cost of individual rights and privacy.
What makes the situation even more pathetic — albeit slightly [...]

Intel Pros Seeking Clarity On FISA

The battle over telecom immunity continues. Today a few major newspapers and other political hacks for the President published — knowingly and inaccurately — articles spreading misinformation regarding the expiration of the Protect America Act, while using the usual fear tactics to make us believe we are in grave danger. The blatant lies and BS continue to [...]

FUD And The FISA Fallacies Continue

In typical fashion, the Bush administration continues resorting to political scare tactics — the usual use of Fear, Uncertaintly and Doubt (FUD) tactics in attempts to coerce House Democratic leaders and Congress – while the politicized ‘justice’ and ‘national intelligence’ departments continue making themselves look pretty pathetic.
Over this past weekend, the Associated Press published a story [...]

Time For A Closer Look At 9/11

Not that I’m a conspiracy theorist, because I’m not, but there are too many unanswered questions about the attacks of 9/11 that have led to the problems Americans are facing today — destruction of Constitutional Rights, Privacy and Freedom — bourne by a delusional presidential administration hell-bent on starting a war for personal and political profit [...]

Soldiers Speaking Out Against Iraq War

News 8 Austin recently reported on a growing number of active duty soldiers and recent Iraq war veterans who have begun speaking up about the war in Iraq — a number of soldiers are talking about their experiences in Iraq via online forums, blogs and pamphlets. Some Iraq war veterans feel it’s their duty to [...]

The American Injustice System

Since George Bush was appointed to the presidency by the Supreme Court in 2000, the American Justice System has become an oxymoron. Over use of Executive Privilege and State Secrets — as well as help from the highest court in the land and Congress with no regard for punishing those in high places who have [...]

Keith Olbermann On The Fear Card

In the typical Bush administration fashion of using terroristic politics while trying to portray Congressional Democrats as being soft on the war on terror, Republicans from the House and the Senate, ‘Justice’ department officials and the president himself — the usual players — threatened the loss of American lives if the ‘Protect America Act’ expires because our [...]

Misadventures Of Congressional Republicans

There may be hope for Democrats in Congress after all. Proof of the damage done by this presidential administration to both Congress and the Republican party after the past seven plus years of corporate controlled government became more evident today as House Republicans had a hissy fit and walked out — conveniently enough there was [...]

21 Dems Undecided On Telecom Immunity

Below is information from DailyAwesome.com and Daily Kos:

Continued Use Of Fear And Deception

How quickly we forget that these ‘patriotic’ telecoms that helped illegally spy on citizens was paid a great deal of money at taxpayer expense, and the fact that the illegal spying started long before 9/11. Letting 9/11 play out the way it did created the perfect opportunity to scare a stunned public and brazenly break [...]
