What a predicament this is---what is the one thing America has in common with Iran???  Both nations have psychotic presidents!  And we all know what can happen in a situation like that---DOOMSDAY!

Hmm, seems like there’s more than one in this country who knows the truth!  Yessirree bobtail, it warms the heart to know others are aware that Bush intentionally did not have Osama captured when he could have, basically because he needed justification for and wanted to go to war in Iraq!  But then, knowing this administration waged a preemptive unnecessary war for all the wrong reasons---power, greed, ideology, and misplaced principles---is scarier than all the bin Ladens in this world!

The more the Repuglicans claim to change, the more everything just stays the same!  DeLay is again put in charge of handing out the money, and if you thought a Repuglican Congress was going to do anything ethical, especially money ethical, better think again, as long as the exterminator has his fingers in the Congressional pot-o-gold, we will continue to see the “Repuglican culture of corruption” alive and well in Washington, D.C.!

The moral of the story in this NYT editorial, “Censoring Truth,” only goes to typify the entire Bush administration---they are all con-men/women, who have falsified their résumés in one way or another to attain positions of power over the people!  Starting with Bush on down to the lowly gophers, they are all a bunch of intimidating phonies!  Unless and until this country recognizes having a “regular guy” in the highest office of this land ain’t doing us well, we will continue a downward spiral into the same morass he’s made of Iraq and in his “war on terrah”!

In an attempt to discredit the truth, Tucker Carlson, who truly believes he’s smarter than anyone else, sought to wage a war of words with none other than Rev. Joseph Lowery, regarding the good Reverend’s tribute to Coretta Scott King during the celebration of her life.  What Carlson seemingly forgot, Rev. Lowery has faced down men like Carlson before, only they were carrying guns and sticks, which truly makes a mockery of Carlson’s wordy slings and arrows!

My grandmother always said, “safety and security begins at home”!  When the president of the United States tries to annihilate Social Security nefariously by way of the back door you have to know he hasn’t an iota of compassion or concern for the security of the elderly in America!  Is this current proposal that is “not clear how big a reduction in the basic benefit Social Security recipients would have to take” another act of revenge by George Bush?  Is he so spiteful that he would wreak havoc on senior citizens, just to get even with the Democrats?  And the answer to both questions is YES and YES!  He isn’t really interested in our safety and security, he just wants revenge!

All this bulls*%t about Repuglicans keeping America safer than Democrats has become rather wearisome---just who the hell got us into this Iraq predicament in the first place, who lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction, who fixed the facts to go to war, who didn’t finish the job on terrorism (anyone remember still-at-large Osama bin Laden), who ordered up a preemptive ill conceived unnecessary war, who sent American troops into battle without proper equipment, who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women, and children and over 2200 American soldiers, who had no real plan for peace in the aftermath, and exactly who was it that secretly slipped into Iraq for a photo-op visit with the soldiers, fully equipped with a fake turkey, in the dead of night, who is it that can’t watch TV and eat pretzels at the same time, who is so afraid of his shadow that he only speaks to prescreened, pre-scripted audiences? Why, my God, it’s none other than that REPUGLICAN George Bush, that’s who!!!
