Why I Don't Cater to Republicans

2005-05-01T16:09:00.000-07:00

The 2000 election cleared up any illusion I had that Republicans were decent, fair, sane human beings.
They want only power. At any cost. They didn't care if they over-threw the government to get in. They didn't care that it was immoral to cheat. They didn't care that they scared the vote counters half to death so they would quit counting votes. They didn't care that the Bush family threatened, intimidated and paid Bush into office. They didn't care that people who dared to opposed old man Bush often came up missing or died awfully convenient deaths. They didn't care that Pat Robertson said on the Fox cable channel that he and the Christian Coalition were going to sit quietly so Bush could 'win.' They didn't care that Bush and Delay and Rove asked the Swift boat assholes to LIE and LIE and LIE about John Kerry- someone who risked his life for this country. They didn't care that the Bin Ladens were pals of the Bush family, despite the fact that their own family members hate the United States and killed over 3,000 of our people. They didn't care that because of those ties, the Bush family was able to MURDER those people and convince our nation that instead of being an ape, Bush was a 'leader.'
They didn't care that Bush waited conveniently for a month so that Bin Laden could escape. THEN he attacked Afghanistan.
They didn't care that Bush LIED about Iraq, even though the PNAC group had made it clear that the Bush family was going after Saddam Hussein and it was planned YEARS before President Primate ever took office.
They didn't care that Bush is a drunk- and they didn't care that even NOW he is often photographed at state dinners with a wine glass in front of him. THIS- the APE who's in charge of nuclear weapons is a DRUNK and they don't care.
They don't care that the APE is slicing off Veteran's benefits. They don't care that the APE is determined to ax Social Security because he targets the most helpless groups in society so his friends can have juicy tax breaks- All while he's WASTING our money in a WAR so his family and oil friends can become even more wealthy.
So no- I won't make exceptions for much. I do not forgive them much, or excuse them for anything- They HELP this APE- this MONSTER- this poor excuse for a human being every time they vote for one of his APE friends. They have all but destroyed every concept of freedom in this country. The APES have taken over... And it's time the human beings admitted it and started fighting back.

Bush will go down in history as the most pernicious and vile pResident we've ever had.

The Things Bush Wants to Cut

2005-03-14T04:21:00.000-08:00

He wants to ax monies for certain ADULT LITERACY programs by two THIRDS.
AMTRACK funding would be cut SEVENTY PERCENT! Nearly a quarter of Amtrack customers are age 55 and older.
ENERGY ASSISTANCE:
He wants to cut that by ten percent. I guess he figures poor people can freeze since they probably don't vote for Republicans.
HOUSING:
Housing for the elderly is to be cut 25 percent!
Money for housing for people with disabilities is to be cut 50% with no new construction.
LOW RENT PUBLIC HOUSING:
A third of which is used for the elderly.
LOANS FOR BUILDING AND RESTORING rental housing for the poor in rural areas would be cut 75 %.
INDEPENDENT LIVING: Things under the Older Americans Act such as Meals On Wheels and FAmily Caregiver Support would be cut or frozen at 2002 levels.
JOBS programs would be cut.
MEDICAID: Spending would be cut by SIXTY BILLION over the next decade, and loopholes would be closed which currently make it simpler to transfer assets so people can move into nursing homes.
MEDICAL RESEARCH:
The U.S., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 4.5 billion dollar budget would be cut by 55 million! Who cares if we all die as long as they save themselves?!
NUTRITION:
Funding cuts over the next 10 years would mean that 200,000 to 300,000 low-income people would lose aid.
VETERAN'S DRUG COSTS: Veterans would pay TWICE as much in copayments AND a $250.00 enrollment fee!

What is Happening to Journalists in Iraq?

2005-02-06T15:10:00.000-08:00

I'll tell you what- They are being KILLED. The truth about David Bloom will come out eventually too!
CNN exec: US has killed 12 reporters in Iraq From the Davos, Switzerland World Economic Forum blog January 28, 2005 : At what was an initially very mild discussion at the World Economic Forum titled "Will Democracy Survive the Media?"... Eason Jordan, Chief News Executive of CNN... asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times.... David Gergen was also clearly disturbed and shocked by the allegation that the U. S. would target journalists, foreign or U. S. ... Statements were backed by other members of the audience (one in particular who represented a worldwide journalist group). The ensuing debate was (for lack of better words) a real "sh--storm". What intensified the problem was the fact that the session was a public forum being taped on camera, in front of an international crowd. The other looming shadow on what was going on was the presence of a U. S. Congressman and a U. S. Senator in the middle of some very serious accusations about the U. S. military. http://www.libertythink.com/2005/02/cnn-exec-us-has-killed-12-reporters-in.html

Bush Exports Dirty Elections to Iraq

2005-02-01T21:12:00.000-08:00

Some Just Voted for FoodInter Press ServiceDahr JamailBAGHDAD, Jan 31 (IPS) - Voting in Baghdad was linked with receipt of food rations, several voters said after the Sunday poll.Many Iraqis said Monday that their names were marked on a list provided by the government agency that provides monthly food rations before they were allowed to vote.”I went to the voting centre and gave my name and district where I lived to a man,” said Wassif Hamsa, a 32-year-old journalist who lives in the predominantly Shia area Janila in Baghdad. ”This man then sent me to the person who distributed my monthly food ration.”Mohammed Ra'ad, an engineering student who lives in the Baya'a district of the capital city reported a similar experience.Ra'ad, 23, said he saw the man who distributed monthly food rations in his district at his polling station. ”The food dealer, who I know personally of course, took my name and those of my family who were voting,” he said. ”Only then did I get my ballot and was allowed to vote.””Two of the food dealers I know told me personally that our food rations would be withheld if we did not vote,” said Saeed Jodhet, a 21-year-old engineering student who voted in the Hay al-Jihad district of Baghdad.Being hungry will make you do a lot of things.......Read more......http://www.dahrjamailiraq.com/hard_news/archives/hard_news/000192.php

The Right Wing is Wrong

2005-01-25T09:24:00.000-08:00

When Joe Scarborough criticizes cartoonists for daring to depict Condoleeza Rice as a puppet of George Bush's, he plays into the administration's hand.
The Bush adm. has long demanded that no one criticize anyone remotely connected with George Bush- It's a total 'hands off' policy, which they are willing to defend at any cost.
We were not supposed to notice that George Bush is so inadequate and stupid that he had to wear an ear-piece during the debates... Yet if that had been a Democrat, they would have destroyed him right then and there.
Well, I'm fed to the teeth with being told that Democrats are 'unAmerican' or that only Republicans have a right to breathe because THEY know EVERYTHING!
The truth is that the Republicans are some of the most corrupt, vicious, illogical, greedy and evil people on the face of the earth.
Many have become the very things they always said they were against. They don't mind OWNING nearly all the media, yet they used to say the Communists were the ones who never allowed an opposing opinion.
I consider this the new 'Dark Ages.' I only hope the world can survive it.

Shameful Excess!

Thursday 20 January 2005
Due to $17 million worth of inaugural security - paid for by the city of Washington, D.C. - the Progress Report is unable to access its office. Never fear - it takes a lot more than that to keep us down. We put this list together for you ahead of time. Your regularly scheduled Progress Report returns tomorrow.
A look at this week's festivities by the numbers:
$40 million: Cost of Bush inaugural ball festivities, not counting security costs.
$2,000: Amount FDR spent on the inaugural in 1945 - about $20,000 in today's dollars.
$20,000: Cost of yellow roses purchased for inaugural festivities by D.C.'s Ritz Carlton.
200: Number of Humvees outfitted with top-of-the-line armor for troops in Iraq that could have been purchased with the amount of money blown on the inauguration.
$10,000: Price of an inaugural package at the Fairmont Hotel, which includes a Beluga caviar and Dom Perignon reception, a chauffeured Rolls Royce and two actors posing as "faux" Secret Service agents, complete with black sunglasses and cufflink walkie-talkies.
400: Pounds of lobster provided for "inaugural feeding frenzy" at the exclusive Mandarin Oriental hotel.
3,000: Number of "Laura Bush Cowboy cookies" provided for "inaugural feeding frenzy" at the Mandarin hotel.
$1: Amount per guest President Carter spent on snacks for guests at his inaugural parties. To stick to a tight budget, he served pretzels, peanuts, crackers and cheese and had cash bars.

More Corrupt Schemes From the Bush Family

2005-01-14T03:41:00.000-08:00

Some politicians are questioning whether Governor Jeb Bush's brother Neil is trying to use the FCAT to make a buck. Neil Bush founded a company that provides software to help students take standardized tests. Critics say it doesn't look right for Neil Bush to be marketing his software to Florida schools.Ignite, Incorporated makes computer software to help children prepare for standardized tests like florida's FCAT. Students at an Orlando-area middle school are using the software as part of a pilot program. Founder Neil Bush is the brother of Governor Jeb and President George Bush.The arrangements is raising eyebrows at the state Democratic Party. Spokesman Ryan Banfill says having one brother selling something to help students on a test spearheaded by another brother and sanctioned by the president doesn't look good. "We think that there's an appearance of impropriety here," Banfill said. "We think that in the name of all that's good and ethical, that maybe Neil Bush should step back and not try to make money off of Florida's FCAT."

Lyrics to "Der Fuehrer's Face"This song was without a doubt Disney's most popular wartimeaccompishment. After the short was produced, the song was pickedup and made even more popular by Spike Jones and his CitySlickers.

Dealing with The Dauphin

2005-01-09T21:11:00.000-08:00

Since I love history, I know that when you have a stupid person with great power, you have a recipe for disaster.
I hear an occasional commentator saying that Bush isn't actually stupid- that he just SOUNDS stupid... And that drives me nuts. Let's face it- If the man cannot speak with any coherence, then it's because he's stupid. Bush doesn't just mess up a few words- he twists meanings and jumbles everything until no one can even understand him. That isn't 'a bad communicator'- That's an idiot.
And when you have an idiot who fears everything and anyone who disagrees with him to the point where he wears a bullet proofed vest, then you have a man who sees the world at large as his 'enemy,' and he will act accordingly.
Bush insulates himself, restricting questions which haven't been cleared by his office or things he doesn't want to answer. He makes sure any protestors are out of his view, and he punishes anyone who dares to speak out against him if at all possible.
He's like a great over-grown child in a room full of guns- gleefully giggling and pointing them at everyone, and saying: "My Daddy will get you if you don't let me play!"

It's All In the Perspective

SOMETHING TO PONDER
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the , both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the .
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

Republican Prejudice

2004-12-28T23:04:00.000-08:00

No matter how the Republicans try to deny it, most of them are racially prejudiced.
Proof of this was brought home when a friend of mine showed me a list of topics on some Yahoo forums- all with titles about the Tsunami victims like: "Good: We got rid of some Atheists today!" or "Who cares if the brown people die? They won't need so much money from us now."
The more I see of the 'Republican Godly Ethic,' the more I'm convinced that they are anything BUT 'Godly.' Unfortunately, it will take a horrible tragedy in their own lives to wake most of them up!

Will Keith Kellogg

2004-12-19T14:17:00.000-08:00

Will Keith Kellogg, FounderWill Keith Kellogg, founder of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, may be best known as the cereal industry giant and inventor of corn flakes. His familiar signature has adorned the cereal boxes of generations of families, the world over. W.K. Kellogg also is recognized as one of the United States' greatest philanthropists.
This is a brief overview of his life. Publications about W.K. Kellogg's life are described in the Resources area of our web site.
Will Keith Kellogg, creator of the cereal company and the Foundation that bear his name, led three professional "lives" while making his mark on Battle Creek and the world.
The world-renowned benefactor and cereal industry leader began as a clerk at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, also known as the San. It was there, searching for a vegetarian diet for patients, that he discovered cereal flakes.
Born April 7, 1860, Will lacked a formal education beyond the sixth grade. When he died Oct. 6, 1951, at the age of 91, he had amassed a fortune and enriched the lives of people in his hometown, and millions of people around the world. http://www.wkkf.org/WhoWeAre/Founder.aspx
