McCain's Friend Warns Him - Stop It

Frank Schaeffer is the son of Francis Schaeffer - both of which have been given credit for assembling the religious right (though I disagree).

clipped from www.baltimoresun.com John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence. John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post- 9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations. We will hold you responsible. author of "Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of

Revolution Been Going On, but AGAINST Us!

I have been looking forward to the rise of a strong minority to revolt against the insane American government. But now I see through this article the Revolution began some time ago against me, you, and the people. I believe it to be so; we are in the midst of a revolution; hence all these injuries and usurpations against us.

I already feel the hunger pains.

I must resist for conscience sake.

clipped from www.lewrockwell.com The October Revolution of 2008 will prove to be at least as consequential as the one that occurred in Russia in 1917. Beginning immediately after 9-11, George W. Bush and the cabal he represents began the controlled implosion of the hollowed-out shell of our once-sturdy republic. Last week the final phase of that demolition project got underway. By using monetary inflation as a sapping device, the FED is knocking down the few federalist pillars that, at least in theory, separated the various layers of government. It is also preparing to nationalize key segments of the commercial economy. All of this is being done through the FED's New Deal era "emergency powers" to extend "credit" to any entity it chooses, whether governmental, commercial, or "public-private partnership." The revolution of 1913–1933, which inflicted the Federal Reserve, income tax, and the New Deal apparatus upon the United States, left us with a system Mussolini described as a "corporate state," more commonly known as

Rat, It's What's For Dinner

I'd probably try it if it were offered to me, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it yet. Maybe in 6-12 months from now when I'm starving because there is no food around, then I'd go for it.

"It's better than chicken," one customer told the AP news agency. One rat seller, Sala Prompim, said that the hip and liver were the best cuts. "It's tastier than other meats - nothing can compete with rat," he added. Mr Prompim says he sells as much as 100kg of rat meat on some days.

'Promises broken'

Kuchi elders are clearly frustrated with President Karzai: "We need schools, clinics and our rights. We all voted for Karzai but he never honoured his promises," says another elder.

Unfortunately, critics say, the Karzai administration seems only to pay attention to Kuchi demands during election years.

Where Were You When You Realized George Bush Was a Liar?

I don't know, some people's loyalty to the president reminds me of some people's loyalty to a king. Since the pres is not a king it sometimes boggles my mind. When they do discover he is a liar and how much he has lied and for what purposes, I wonder if they remember that day - kind of like remembering where you were when you learn that Kennedy was shot or where you were when 911 happened. If you had such an experience why not write about it. It's an interesting and informative read.

clipped from masbury.wordpress.com I remember when I realized George W. Bush was a liar. It was November 8, 2006—the day after the mid-term elections. It had taken me six years to admit the truth. A week earlier, Bush had said in no uncertain terms that Donald Rumsfeld would stay on until the end of Bush’s presidency.  “Both those men are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them.”  The day after the election, Rumsfeld was gone.  When asked about the turn-around, the President said: Mr. Bush

The Banker or the Fetus, Who Would You Save?

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT POINT!!!
This is not a long read and you'll see other benefits beyond his points as well. Kind of a paradigm like shift in perspective.

clipped from www.chycho.com According to the most up to date estimates available from the National Right to Life, there were 1,287,000 abortions performed in the United States in 2004. I personally found this number to be appalling, especially considering that three-quarters of women who had aborted a fetus stated that the reason they were getting an abortion was because they could not afford a child. This means that money, the lack of financial security, is the reason for 75% of all abortions performed in the United States. For 2004, that’s equivalent to 965,250 lives being extinguished for fear of poverty. The solution is simple, instead of giving $700 billion to rich bankers for their crimes, we could provide financial assistance to all expecting mothers. I hope that all those Pro-lifers and Conservatives who think voting into office the same people who are robbing the nation and causing all these abortions get to see these numbers. Who would you save, the banker or the fetus?
