Don't forget to take a look at the best political cartoon on the web..

It makes me laugh my tail off...

Bush: Losing the War.

Another good analysis from John Zogby at the Huffington Post:

George Bush: Winning Battles but Losing the War.

Looks like Diebold is having a hard time getting their fascist voting machines approved in many counties across America.

Here is an interesting article about it from Brad Friedman over at the Huffington Post.

A week to remember.

It's been a bad week for Neo-Con blowhards according to the Seattle Times:

Welcome to my Blog!

I just want to thank you all for visiting my new blog. I am looking forward to making this a place where we may discuss what America should stand for.

Should this be a country that believes in education, proper health care for all... Clean air, water, and land? And I don't understand how we honor our soldiers overseas by ignoring the US Constitution, Geneva Convention and rule of law that they fight to defend? Is that really the American Way? Have we become nothing but a bunch of cowards who need to live in a police-state to be safe?

Well this puppy is going to find out and be determined to get this all barked out and on the table before we vote in 2006. Slippery George Bush and "Big Dick" Cheney have had their chance... They have worked to destroy the American Dream by selling the worth of it's citizenry as well as our natural resources to the highest corporate bidders or wealthiest among us. Have lied us into a war they had no idea how to win, and looks now like Iran will have a new totalitarian regime next door to welcome as it's comrade against America. And in five short years, we have destroyed the goodwill we have spent centuries earning by example throughout the world. Why they even illegally released the name and position of a covert CIA operative as political payback for a man who dared speak truth to power. After three years we are still waiting for more indictments on that one...

Now the imbeciles have finally committed an impeachable offense so heinous and un-American that even moderate Republicans are demanding that they start answering for it... So it is now way past time for all patriotic Americans to stand up against the fascist Neo-Cons and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

If it is true that the Bush Administration actually engaged in warrantless spying on persons within the United States in complete violation of the US Constitution, then they are guilty of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors..." under any possible reading of the law.

We must keep contacting our Congressmen and Senators on a weekly basis and demanding that they get to the bottom of these traitorous acts, and demanding they update us on the steps that they have taken each and every week to resolve this issue while they are in session. If an investigation proves these charges to be true, Congress's feet must be held to the fire of the righteous indignation and American sense of justice until they IMPEACH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED if they want to have any chance of being re-elected, regardless of party affiliation. This message must be presented to them in no uncertain terms.

FISA makes it a crime, punishable by up to five years in prison, to conduct electronic surveillance except as provided for by statute. The only defense is for law enforcement agents engaged in official duties conducting "surveillance authorized by and conducted pursuant to a search warrant or court order." [50 U.S.C. § 1809]

The time for fence sitting is over... Either our elected representatives believe in the US Constitution and the American rule of law, or it is time for them to pack their bags and leave Washington forever!!!

Federal politicians who refuse to act against these un-American traitors, must be exposed as passive accomplices to these crimes against Our Great Nation, and hounded out of office in the next election cycle!

As you can tell... I am rapidly becoming a puppy on the edge...

But I hope we will enjoy the conversations ahead as we finally take our country back...

DaRatpuppy
