Be careful about what you swallow. Remember "Bought Manhattan for $24?" In 1626 Peter Minuit bought Manhattan island from the Canarsie Indians, who dwelt on Long Island, merely trading on Manhattan, for a load of cloth, beads, hatchets, and other odds and ends then worth 60 Dutch guilders. 60 guilders in 1626 would buy you 1-1/2 pounds of silver. The $24 was a translation in the 19th century, so for more than your lifetime that has been a lie. |
George W. Bush told Congress and American people that he KNEW Saddam had weapons of mass
destruction. This was a LIE to congress in the only speech required by the constitution,
for he believed that, but did not know. The CIA did not sign off on
the yellow cake uranium lie until he agreed to attribute it to British intelegence, so
he knew that as well. In spite of a legal alternative, in violation of his oath to uphold
and defend the constitution, violating the 4th amendment, he ordered illegal wiretaps
and intends to continue . He wanted to keep torture as his tool. He lied that he had
not been warned the levies in New Orleans might fail. I do not believe he will be the
first Republican president since Eisenhower to not need a pardon. Holding him
responsible would show the strength of the U.S., failure to do so shows fear and
weakness, failing to live up to our principles."I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt, 26th US President |

Welcome Big Brother?
If the government is not spying on citizens, why is it helping others do so?
CIA execs are on trial, DMV employees are convicted of snooping in star's records,
IRS agents caught in taxpayers records, Richard Nixon used the F.B.I. against his
"enemys list", and J. Edgar Hoover illegally used the FBI to harras Martin Luther
King and others. Pacifist groups are now on the TALON database of terrorist
organizations. Do you believe you have privacy? Do you trust all government
employees (including GWB) that much? We no longer have the protections of the
Bill of Rights:
Amendment IV
Amendment V

"The Senate Energy Committee also rejected a proposal from Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon that would have prevented ANWR oil production from being exported to China or other foreign markets." |
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
- Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg trials, 1946
