There is a saying “that every thing old, is new again”, and one just needs to look at the last 7 1/2 years in America to know it’s true. We’ve managed to bring back just about every major Screw up thats come our way over the last 70 odd years.
Ah the good old days! War, Rampant drug use, Racial Tension, Rampant Unemployment, National debt, Oil Crisis, Collapsing Economy, Bad Religion, and Covert Politics and the Cold war!
And in an election year where Party lines blur, and comparison... Read Full Story

I think the greatest source of danger in this world is indifference. I have always believed that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. The opposite of life is not death, but indifference. The opposite of peace is not war, but indifference to peace and indifference to war. The opposite of culture, the opposite of beauty, the opposite of generosity is indifference. Indifference is the enemy.~Ellie Wiesel

I have to say that it is time for the old guard to step back and let the new guard take control. Without question, that new guard is best represented by Obama.~BY THE REV. JIM HOLLEY
I in no way condone the recent ACCIDENTAL “mic on” remarks of Rev. Jackson towards Senator Obama. But as troubling as the former “Shadow Senator’s” remarks may have been, It is the underlying sentiment, in the idea that some how the “old guard” of the Civil Rights movement should now relinquish their seats...

On the topic of Senator Barack Obama’s yes vote on FISA.
Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, founder of Daily Kos, said Monday on MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann”: “Let’s be honest, it is either Obama or John McCain. So we really don’t have much of a choice.”
So much for change, as it would appear that we once again we are left to vote for the lesser of two evils! Why? Why is this our only choice? Why because our TV has 27 Home Shopping channels telling us that Cubic zirconia and plastic is... Read Full Story

In show of true bipartisanship the senate with a vote of 69-28 passed the FISA reform bill of 2008. (H.R. 6304). Never mind that this excerpt from an Orwellian nightmare recently has been falsely promoted as the “Telecom Immunity Bill”. Telecom Immunity!? Thats the least of this mess!
“With one vote, Congress has strengthened the executive branch, weakened the judiciary and rendered itself irrelevant,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office

While trying to decide on my next post about the non-stop idiocy that seems to be sweeping the globe, including corporate sponsored genocide and the evils of our very own MASON-RIECH. I came across what for me personally, is one the the most ignorant racist political positions towards a “Minority” to be, not only publicized but voted on in some 40 odd years.
As American law has left me the orphan bastard of a Rom Chieftain, I am no stranger to the ignorance and bigotries that can be and... Read Full Story

You know TERMINATOR, dragging me by my arm to the forbidden zone known as his room, he proceeds to pull up a news article which indeed verifies that the U.K. had launched what it referred to as the “Final Skynet satellite”. I must admit that I found it all very disturbing, I mean come on I know you hear things like this, But no body really thinks something like this could... Read Full Story

Place your bets.
Watching over the all recent media frenzy Involving the antics of BIAS,with headlines such as “Obama’s Baby mama” oddly enough coinciding with the reading of the articles of impeachment directed against President Bush and Vice President Chenney.
It’s might not always be clear who the players of this game are . It might not even be who you think! Like the simultaneous headlines “Supreme Court ruling makes Guantanamo a campaign issue” with the reiteration ” Wife never... Read Full Story

Coming across an article in which the author had be been asked to give an opinion of another’s work. While not trying to debate the merits of the two authors opposing opinions , other than that each had attempted to dismiss the oppositions view, by citing what each seemed to believe as credible sources of the “FACTS”. Which resulted in the following statement from one.
“Stating ones opinion without citing any factual source and labeling it as “fact” does not make it so.”
