A collection
of insightful ruminations, reflections, and rants on the events of
the
day (with the exception of the weekend). We'll collect a week's worth
here and then archive them. Come visit each weekday to see what's
pushing
Barbara's buttons.

What
a difference a generation makes! I remember President Jimmy Carter
with Menachem Begin and Anwar al-Sadat, when peace was perceived as
the only way to solve the problems in the Middle-East and when guns,
bombs, and ammunition were put away and negotiations began. Wiser men,
saner
times, and an intelligent approach to the problems of the world.

You
just have to know that Arnold has Karl's seal of approval, especially
after all the 24 hour ad nauseum mainstream media positive reporting.
It's
called
circling the wagons to terminate the enemy. Don't think for one
minute Schwarzenegger would have this kind of support if Karl had given
a thumbs down or had decided to really stay out of this race. I guess
Karl believes this is another lame-in-the-brain robot he can use
the
remote to control.

If
it worked in California, then I'm sure it could work nationwide.
Why not hold those accountable who are really responsible for
the chaos and confusion, the war and destruction, the lies and the
cheating, tax cuts for the rich, unemployment and an economy
in the pits. RECALL
BUSH AND CHENEY!

Don't
think for one minute that Dumbya is protecting the Saudis! He is protecting
his own interests. The money some people in this country are making
from their associations with the Saudis is astronomical
and that is the primary reason for covering any negative reports. If
it
weren't
the
money,
then the
Saudis would be fodder for political gain by those in this administration.
Loyalty is spelled MONEY these days in Washington!

I
cannot fathom Dumbya as part of God's Divine Plan. Somehow,
I cannot see God sanctioning anyone who would order a war based on
lies, that kills innocents. Somehow, I don't believe God would
smile on
anyone who would take the food out of little children's mouths,
or the medicine from senior citizens, to put it into the pockets
of the
rich. How can anyone believe that God would willfully support
ruining the earth He gave to humanity with such reverence and humility.
No matter how hard
the Republicans try, they cannot justify their sins as part of God's
plan.

According
to an AP report the marines dropped "Mark 77 firebombs" in
Iraq. Unfortunately, there were casualties. It seems that the only
Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq were imports. While the military
brass
says Mark 77 firebombs are not Napalm, the effects are the same on
human beings -- horrendous death by fire.

Ignoring
the pre 9-11 intelligence warnings qualifies for Guilty by
Ignorance! If the CEO of a company ignores warnings that have dire
consequences
for his business then that CEO is fired for negligence and
poor management. The same standard should be applied to thieves in
high office. The people of America should demand this administration
and their leader be fired, 3000 Americans lost their lives because
of
their negligence and total mismanagement.

Who
do you chose to believe: the Office of Disinformation, aka the White
House, or the grunts, the soldiers on the front lines fighting a dirty
war for an imbecile? My choice is overwhelmingly the soldiers! They
will tell the truth about the conditions they have to endure, while
those steadfast conservative pundits, aka Bob Novak, blow off the danger
our troops face as "the usual complaining and griping" and "they
volunteered." When death is staring you in the face, the truth
is what comes up and out! Shame on the chickenhawks of America for
defaming and debasing our military men and women.

If
you thought there wasn't a need to fully investigate judicial appointees,
then take a look at ABC's coverage of a certain immigration judge,
Thomas Ragno. Then you'll know exactly why these people should
be fully vetted.

When
the going gets tough or Dumbya gets bored, then Dumbya goes
AWOL. It is ludicrous for Bush to take a month-long vacation at the
Texas
ranch when our troops are dying in Iraq. Lolling
around
in an
air-conditioned
mansion
for a "rest" while the troops are fighting dust, sand,
heat, bullets, and death, in a war created on lies, is an abomination.
Karl can dress him up, fly him around, and show him off, but
Dumbya is a misfit -- always has been a misfit and no amount
of propaganda
can
make him a man.

If
this were a movie, it would surpass "Glitter" for all time
worst. Unfortunately, it's real life and people are dying as a result
of the poor performance from Bush and his administration. Their bait
and switch maneuvers have occurred so often it's now predictable even
by
the least of us. An August vacation is just another opportunity for
Dumbya to hide out and hope the truth fades away into the dog days
of summer. America is truly facing a crisis, and it's name again is
Bush!

Just
what America needs, an incompetent liar to replace Colin Powell!
The lies coming from this administration are becoming a way of life
for America
and it does nothing to protect Americans. It was one thing for us to
expect little white lies to protect National security, or prove a
point, but the
whoppers coming from Dumbya are killing people and puts us all in danger.
Newt Gingrich in the State Department would be like putting a pedophile
priest in charge of an all-boys orphanage. Now more than ever it's
time for a regime change. |
