Yesterday the media was busy touting how Hillery was way ahead and showed past election’s prooving their point, with the exception of the Carter race that she would win the nomination of the Dem’s and infering she will be the next president because suposadely 50+% of the dem’s support her…I like Hillery, but…Hell if I were a delegate or running against this kind of free press I would say to my self, what’s the use, might as well stay home and knit a pair of sock’s..Save my time ,money, energy and look for a new cause to champion…The game’s over…But I want Kucenich, what about that.?…He and the other candidate’s are hardly noticed.

Little to nothing was mentioned untill very late in the day about what the enabeling congress was doing and only slight mention of the veto….Lot’s of star crap about what’s her name loosing her kid’s to featherhead, what ever….I had to look long and hard to ferrit out the real new’s and even then it was peppered with crap……The young soldier that was shot, maybe more intended friendly fire.? The masssive killing’s going on in the world…..This is what has happened to our world and the realy important people that are vieing for the office of president got little to no coverage because according to the people in the know the race is over..

One thing I know for sure is the fact that the majority of the public will not go out in droves to vote…..The majority has become imune to all the media crap and like me are turning it off, just like the war and casuelties they don’t see it so it doe’s not exist, the race is won so why vote….No point in having an opinion because no one listens any way…..”Why get excited about the war or any thing else, you can’t change it” mentalety of the masses…..All part of the grand scheme of thing’s…No one that is guilty of any crime’s is being prosacuted, no notice of impeachment, no ending the war’s, no stopping the funding of these insane war’s, no funding insurance or rebuilding our country or the world……What the hell are we doeing here.?…..Well, you all decide……The Bear and I are going to walk softly in the forest and scream loudly to all the enabeler’s…..Blessings…Peace..Sorry for the OT and length.

Unfortunately, Blackwater is privately held…no stock. Vested interest, however, would be donations made to campaigns, and my understanding is that such donations have largely been made to Republicans, with very large sums given to the Bush campaign(s).

Oh, swell! The House is expected to pass this nomination, so our Bush-enabling Senators can approve this election-rigging creep’s appointment to the FEC. Next year, some Senate DINOs will be back out on the street, sucking their thumbs and wondering why so few minority voters showed up at the polls to vote for them!

Holy Crap! Can you say “Democratic death wish?” I’ll be happy to be wrong, but you can’t underestimate Congressional Democrats’ desire to return to a Republican one-party government!

Hehehe. National Security has surely a WIDE SCOPE.

I was laughing at the movie theater when I was recently watching Bourne Ultimatum. The character Noah Vosen mentions at least twice that National Security has been breached by Bourne´s doings.

How? I mean, how? Does the guy that sell hot dogs in NY is facing a terrible threat? Do the whole people in NY? How?

And the terrible thing is that National Security is the perfect excuse in order to justify the greatest atrocities in the world.

If President George W. Bush had a shred of decency, then he would demand that China turns over military junta leadership of Burma to the Hague to be tried for crimes against humanity, but W. doesn’t care about it.

Burma, or Myanmar as the Generals call it, requires international condemnation for brutally suppressing its population who want civilian rule and democracy.

News reports out of Burma claim that military junta has been executing hundreds/thousands of monks who dared to peacefully protest and jailing the rest of them.

Soldiers are savagely beating men, women, and children in the largest city of Rangoon, plus carting people off to be tortured in prisons, and bodies dumped in rivers.

Gen. Than Shwe, the junta leader, should be arrested or apprehended for barbaric crimes, and the Burmese military should be disbanded or its officers cashiered.

NOTE: The US Congress must step forward to demand that Chinese government ends trade with Burma until the military junta removed.

(Jay Randal, political activist and writer in Georgia, USA.)

The thing that bothers me the MOST about all of this, is that all of those involved in this may never be brought to justice. What type of precedent does that set?

This is one of the most basic rights of humans on this planet, and yet there is a strong possibility that this administration violated those rights. And then the courts appear to turn a blind eye ever time a case is brought forward. They don’t have the jurisdiction, or the administration claims executive privilege, or that it can be hidden because of national security.

People ask how Hitler and the Nazis were able to commit the atrocities that they committed and wonder why the citizens of Germany didn’t do anything.

So folks, can anyone tell me what the difference is between then and now?

Is Bush afraid that the Iraqis will arrest them and detain them indefinitely without cause and put them on trial and withhold key evidence?

He did say that the world would be a better place if other countries adopt the measures in the Military Detainee Act.

But they put them under the umbrella of the State Dept, not the DOD. I guess they have some kind of diplomatic immunity.

Indeed. But as we’ve seen in America, the law only applies to everyone except the Bush regime, even when he otherwise is such a big supporter of spreading our style of democracy around the world.

Right… “rule of law”… **cough… cough**

This has gotten so bizarre over the last few yrs it’s almost impossible to keep track of anymore. Herr Brusch is mentally ill. It’s like the Emperor’s new Clothers, and in this case, the Emperor just isn’t vain and gullible, he’s crazy to boot. Everyone around him is afraid to contradict him, so they just all nod their heads and pretend this all makes sense and is okay.

(They’re also hoping to cover thier own *sses when the time comes…)

They should at least be held to thae same SOFA as the military.

Comment by The Republic of Stupidity

Which is funny since he’s the leader of the law and order party. So if he doesn’t support Blackwater being prosecuted for national security reasons, why doesn’t he feel the same way about the military? Why should Blackwater’s crimes be covered under “national security” concerns but not our own troops’?

Because the Deciderer has decidered!

seems neither his spelling nor his ability to detect irony has improved

America, when the Attorney General covers up information like this and our President approves it ’secretly’, what do we have left?

Comey should be getting the Medal of Freedom. Alberto should be in jail, along with Bush & his ‘inner circle jerk’ cohorts.

This is not OK. This is the shit that the rest of the world sees and asks, WTF? This isn’t the shining beacon of light that America is. This is the stuff of some 3rd world dictator, feathering his own nest while poor people starve to death and are interrogated and beaten by the dictator’s henchmen.

National Security? America, leading by example is our National Security! Once we stray from that path, we become just as depraved & deprived as the rogue nations. We also become vulnerable to have those same techniques used on our soldiers.

Soldiers do not make policy. Blame rests squarely in the laps of those who wrote and support these illegal & immoral practices.

Today they’re telling us Blackwater & other contractors cannot even be held responsible for their atrocities. Bullshit! They must be accountable, or everything we’ve worked for these past 230 years will vanish.

Wake up, America. Thieves and perverts are running away with our country.
