GG can't help himself. He will do/say/write any lie to cast PBO in a negative light, even if he knows instinctively that it's BS. IMO, his...Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Greenwald doesn't care how much of a racist/bigot Paul is proven to be. He has an irrational hatred for POTUS. Wonder why?Re: Glenn Greenwald Hates the Constitution

Selling Iran, Part Two
This is what we face in trying to stop the march to war with Iran: The words “terror, terrorism, and terrorist” are used fourteen times in four minutes. “Al Qaeda” is mentioned four times. The word “arson” is used exactly … Continue reading
Selling Iran, Part One

SiCKO
My girlfriend took me to see Michael Moore’s SiCKO last night. I was expecting to be amused and outraged, which is pretty standard for anything Michael does (and is why he’s such a target of conservative scorn). But SiCKO was … Continue reading
Sociopath-in-Chief
The Commander-in-Chief isn’t affected by low poll numbers. He isn’t psychotic, deluded, or irrational. But he is certainly deceitful and manipulative. He has a glib, superficial charm, appearing intelligent enough; yet when he meets with people, he rarely asks questions … Continue reading

Visiting Socialism
“If S-CHIP is creeping socialism, then maybe it’s time more Americans found out what socialism looks like.” That was my thought today as I left the VA medical center in Birmingham, Alabama, where a courteous and professional staff gave me … Continue reading
Ron Paul as Ralph Nader?
Chris Weigant said it yesterday, and I have to second him: Ron Paul is the spoiler candidate for 2008. After failing to gain the Republican nomination, his run as a Libertarian is likely to put a Democrat in the White … Continue reading
The Torture Fallacy

Firestorm
Well, I started a firestorm with an Op-Ed in my local paper yesterday. For those of you who don’t live in the south: welcome to the one-party system. As much as you hear about the “solid south” voting for Republicans, … Continue reading
