Present Day Bush vs. First Term Bush
Absolutely hilarious video from the Daily Show having a debate between Present Day Bush and First Term Bush…it just continues to show what a douche bag our president really is.
p.s. Sorry, it won’t let me embed the video for some odd reason (and yes, I tried to rip it out of the code, but that failed too).
In case you missed it, last Friday we declared the month of March Boycott the RIAA Month. We’ve gotten sick and tired of always seeing the RIAA pulling deplorable moves and decided it was time for us to do something about it. We’re kicking the month off with this, our manifesto. We want to be absolutely clear about what this fight is about and why it’s so important. This is an overview of what the RIAA does, why it’s damaging, and what we need to do to stop it. Consider this our planted flag.
I whole heartedly agree with what they are doing. Tell your friends, tell your family, hell tell a stranger you run into. The RIAA and its members need to be put in their place, and this is an excellent place and time to start.
Al Gore: ‘America’s Constitution Is in Grave Danger’
Congressman Barr and I have disagreed many times over the years, but we have joined together today with thousands of our fellow citizens – Democrats and Republicans alike – to express our shared concern that America’s Constitution is in grave danger.
In spite of our differences over ideology and politics, we are in strong agreement that the American values we hold most dear have been placed at serious risk by the unprecedented claims of the Administration to a truly breathtaking expansion of executive power.
As we begin this new year, the Executive Branch of our government has been caught eavesdropping on huge numbers of American citizens and has brazenly declared that it has the unilateral right to continue without regard to the established law enacted by Congress to prevent such abuses.
Yes, I know I have posted way more politically-oriented articles lately, but I think it is important to get this information out to people. Sure, this is all common knowledge, but we the American people, we the apparently apathetic and pathetically mindless zombies that we have become are letting things get worse and worse.
Hearing On Department Of Justice Oversight
In the 32 years since I first came to the Senate – during the era of Watergate and Vietnam – I have never seen a time when our Constitution and fundamental rights as Americans were more threatened by their own government. Just this last weekend, the President and Vice President indicated that they intended to override the will of the American people, as expressed in the most recent national elections, and ignore actions of Congress in order to escalate the war in Iraq.
Glad to see a great quote like this coming from a senator. I’ve been saying this, and thinking this for nearly 4 years and I am glad to see someone high up voice this as well. It is a scary time we live in, and we shouldn’t be terrified of terrorists. We SHOULD be afraid of this president and his illegal and unwarranted civil rights violations. If it wasn’t bad enough that he was illegal detaining people down in Guantanamo then consider that he is illegally spying on innocent Americans.
If we have senators saying that the president has (and continues to) break the law then why the hell haven’t we impeached this asshole? Wake the hell up America!
The 10 most outrageous civil liberties violations of 2006
I don’t know about you, but I think we should have hung Bush right next to Saddam. I am a US citizen, and I am honestly and utterly ashamed to say this asshole is my president.
I have never been ashamed to be an American before Bush took over the presidency. He has committed countless civil rights violations and god knows what other atrocities he has committed in the name of his little “war on terror.” His pathetic war does not trump my civil rights.
We need to impeach Bush now, we need him in prison or better yet, publicly hung just like Saddam was.
That question has troubled me for quite a while. The Hamdan decision certainly suggests that, by ignoring the Geneva Conventions even in Guantanamo (let alone in Iraq), a war crime has been committed. And in the military, the command structure insists that superiors are held accountable. I’ve been saying this for a long time now, and have watched aghast as the Bush administration has essentially dumped responsibility for war-crimes on the grunts at Abu Ghraib. The evidence already available proves that the president himself ordered torture and abuse and the violation of the Geneva Conventions.
Honestly, I think he is a war criminal at this point, I do think he should be removed from office and charged by a court. The problem is, what court, and who is possibly going to try and charge him? Oh right, it won’t ever happen. It’s a nice idea though…

Pentagon Revises Nuclear Strike Plan
Look what boy wonder has more power to do now? Boy I feel safe… 
The draft, dated March 15, would provide authoritative guidance for commanders to request presidential approval for using nuclear weapons, and represents the Pentagon’s first attempt to revise procedures to reflect the Bush preemption doctrine. A previous version, completed in 1995 during the Clinton administration, contains no mention of using nuclear weapons preemptively or specifically against threats from weapons of mass destruction.
Bush’s power to detain US enemy combatant upheld
President George W. Bush has the power to detain Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen who has been held in a South Carolina military brig for more than three years as a suspected enemy combatant without being charged, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.
Does anyone else find this to be as disgusting as I do? 3 F-ing years this guy has been in prison without being charged of a crime. 
All I will say is look how smug this asshole looks. I am quite sad to call myself an American today.
