Worth a read (thanks to Truthurts)...http://www.slate.com/id/2237638/Hitchens says Palin's actions are demagogy. I looked up this term and found that a demagogue (or, demagog) is "a person who tries to stir up the people by appeals to emotion, prejudice, etc. in order to win them over quickly and so gain power" It seems to me that Sarah Palin, more aptly, is a "demagaga"

In 5 years in office, Bush has never vetoed a spending bill. While it's true that he pretty much gets the bills he wants from a Republican Congress, there's a more ominous reason. The greater the nation's debt, the less government money there is for the poor, the sick, the infirm, the jobless, the uninsured.

I was upset to see Senators Leahy, Feingold & Kohl vote in favor of John Roberts in the Senate Judiciary Committee review.

Quotes: The New Orleans Disaster: We're Killing Ourselves "For half a century, free-market purists have to great effect denigrated the essential role that modern government performs as some terrible liberal plot.

So you're stuck in rush hour traffic heading out of San Francisco on Highway 101. Then you look up and see a large man with unruly hair and dark glasses running across a pedestrian overpass. He fights the wind for possession of a 6-by-10-foot cardboard sign. You try to read the letters but can't. As he stops above you and fastens the sign to the fence, the big black letters pop into focus: "

If a religious group who demanded a theocracy based on Jesus' teachings of: "love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemy, feed the hungry, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned, do not concern yourselves with wealth, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword," became a threat, then you would see a religious war, because none of our politicians want a country dedicated to those

I was distressed to hear on NPR this morning that exPresidents Carter & Clinton, as well as Senators John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and other Dems, were in the immediate audience to celebrate the inaugeration and hear Bush-bin-Lyin's acceptance blustering. One expects repuglican clans to come out from under the rocks to attend this Bushit fest, but are there no principled "prominent Democrats" (put

Yesterday's dismissal for concerns of electoral 'irregularities' raised by Sen. Boxer & Ohio's own Senator was yet another nail in the coffin of democracy. Thank God at least those two brave women stood to voice the issue, but IT'S NOT ENOUGH! Without faith in the validity of votes, there is no democracy left... True Americans already fought against one King George. Looks like we may have to

"It is time to invade Cuba and put an end to what has become another Devil's Island in the annals of government-sanctioned torture. The barbaric treatment of political prisoners on the island is made no more palatable by being conducted in the name of an ideology that claims to be liberating the world from its shackles. "Unfortunately, we look more and more like our enemies every day. On an

"With four more years of the Bush Administration, many more of us are going to get arrested. We are going to have to be very visible and very loud, speaking up against the assaults on our civil liberties, our environment, our right to choice, and for our passionate desire to relate to the rest of the world not through bombs and bullers and Bradley fighting vehicles, but through compassion and

Ed Stein 14 Dec 2004 --Variations on Rumsfeldian didactics. Having instructed the troops, these other admonitions will keep the rest of the good buSheep in line.

In the world of the Christian Right, concern for the environment is still an atheistic socialist plot to bankrupt godly American industry; it has no place in the fight for the health and soul of the nation. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to converting evangelicals to the environmental cause is cultural. Convincing pro-life evangelicals to join forces with secular and left-leaning environmentalist

Deep in the psyche of the American mind is the myth of exceptionalism: that we are the greatest country on Earth, a shining beacon on a hill, placed here by God himself. This is the American superiority complex, a profound affliction that distorts our perceptions and enables manipulative Presidents to give the marching orders. --Comment Dec 2004, in The Progressive

And I'm so glad the majority of Bush's supporters turn out to be "moral values" voters. I thought they were all greedheads, bless their hearts. But we can outscripture Republicans in no time flat: Jesus was the original bleeding heart liberal. --Molly Ivins, in The Progressive

Rantsome Notes About this blog: In this busy world, some lack the time or dedication to read, absorb and ponder lengthy discourse, to say nothing of the time to reflect, cogitate, create and expostulate at length. Opinions today are formed and swayed by sound-bites and succinct slogans (aka zingers, comebacks, punch-lines, snappy rejoinders, bumper-stickers, ripostes, taglines, one-liners, puns,
