America the new Athens

The Bushites are leading America down the same path as Athens,
the true birthplace of democracy.
Athenians prized debate and persuasion over raw force.
The downfall of Athens was believing they were invencible.

1) They sent troops throughout the world,
thus trading democracy for imperalism.

2) Their cruelty grew with military success (including torture).

3) The cost of the military bankrupted Athens.

The love of law made her great
the abandoment of law brought her down.

(exerpts from John Wheat Gibson’s paper)

John Edwards – contractors pull out of Iraq – a good first step

“First, we need to remove the image of the imperialist America
from the landscape of Iraq. American contractors who
have taken unfair advantage of the turmoil in Iraq
need to leave Iraq. If that means Halliburton subsidiary, KBR,
then KBR should go. Such departures, and the return
of the work to Iraqi businesses, would be a real statement
about our hopes for the new nation.

Who’s trying history revisionism?

The Who Who’s claiming foul!

Fitzgerald releases report
take a fine tooth comb to it
edit out the word “known”
make it the “earliest outing of Ms. Wilson”
have a crony (in this case Bob Woodward)
put him on National Public Radio
and (CNN’s) “Larry King Live” to “disclose”
his early knowledge of Plame’s identity.
claim everybody knew about Valerie
claim Fitzgerald lied
claim Scooter got a bum rap
ergo revisionist history

but truth has it’s own fine toothed comb
time to spin another cocoon
Mr. Rich and Famous Bob Woodward
or are you under the JFK syndrome?

The Return of the Morons

“The Republican alternative non binding resolution simply said:
“It is the sense of the House of Representatives
that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq
be terminated immediately.”

twenty-one words period!
we all know those reps knew
no sane person wants an Iraqi pull out
with no planning
kinda like Bush went in
what we want Mr. Bush/reps
is the all important step
PULL OUT ALL FOREIGN CONTRACTORS
as Honorable John Edwards proposed.
period!

stop wasting tax dollars
spent on skulduggery
Lady Liberty is bleeding
and the wound is lethal
and no tricks will begin the healing.

Pewy Pew Poll

“Pew poll…42 percent of the public…United States…
mind its own business internationally…”

what would happen if Mr. Pew poll asked the burning question:
Should our international business be humanitarian aid only?
It isn’t any wonder that more people want isolationism
It is less lethal than colonialism

“…Opinion leaders…”

Who are the ‘opinion leaders’?
Answer: people who obtain soapboxes!
Who has the loudest voices?
Answer: whomever Corporate Media wants!

Who has no voice in any poll?
Answer: people in poverty with no telephones
How many people live in poverty in America?
36 million – more than 10%
add that, Mr. Pew, to the usual
3 or 4% – more or less!
