The Conservative Cries Of Fascism...

I'M NOT ONE who thinks the right is dead in this country. If conservatism can learn from its losses, adapt, and modernize, the movement should continue to play an important role in American politics. And yet, analytic introspection is hardly what we've seen since November. Instead, any number of conservative commentators have come down with the vapors. That hysteria is regularly in evidence on "fair and balanced" Fox News. Witness, for example, Cody Willard, who reported for Fox from the anti-tax "tea party" on Boston Common last week. Inveighing against "the $800 billion Republican-Democrat fascist stimulus package," Willard posed this question: ...
Turley: 'God help us' if torture only gets a '9/11 commission'

The recent release of Bush administration torture memos has given rise to calls for prosecution of the Justice Department lawyers who wrote those memos. However, law professor Jonathan Turley believes that this may represent a deliberate attempt to draw attention away from George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the other high Bush administration officials who ordered the torture. "That's the really strange thing," Turley told MSNBC's David Shuster on Tuesday. "In the last week or so, we've seen an effort to define a potential investigation in terms of the lawyers who wrote these memos. ... A war crime investigation does not look at the people who drove the trains -- they ...

Evangelicals are the biggest promoters/enforcers of Diversity, second only to far left wing liberals, because, according to most preachers, Jesus wants us all to be brown. But now that they’ve spent decades promoting massive immigration, interracial adoption and interracial marriage, and condemning “hate”, they’re finding that Diversity doesn’t give a rip about their political agenda. People under 18 are in favor of gay marriage by about 4-1, and it’s only a matter of time until it’s the law of the land. Back in 2000, an anti-gay marriage proposal on the California ballot passed by about 25 points. Last year Proposition 8 won by only 4 points. In a few ...
Harman and AIPAC: More Evidence of Massive Government Corruption (Kurt Nimmo)

It really comes as no surprise Rep. Jane Harman was caught on a federal wiretap offering to lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against AIPAC officials. Much of Congress is beholden to the Israeli pressure group. Instead of taking note of this common practice — politicians coming to the rescue of their favored constituents at the expensive of those they were elected to represent — we should take note of the willingness of the NSA and FBI to make this information public. Somebody wanted Jane Harman out of the picture. The case is yet another example of how politics works in the District of Criminals. In exchange for help in getting espionage-related ...
Why We Should Get Rid of West Point

Want to trim the federal budget and improve the military at the same time? Shut down West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy, and use some of the savings to expand ROTC scholarships. After covering the U.S. military for nearly two decades, I've concluded that graduates of the service academies don't stand out compared to other officers. Yet producing them is more than twice as expensive as taking in graduates of civilian schools ($300,000 per West Point product vs. $130,000 for ROTC student). On top of the economic advantage, I've been told by some commanders that they prefer officers who come out of ROTC programs, because they tend to be better educated and less ...
How Far America Has Fallen

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as their government under went a peaceful transition of power. At first, I felt a pride and patriotism as I watched Barack Obama take his Oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President. It was then that I realized how far America's Military had deteriorated. Every last one of them missed !

The Shill World Order: Pushers Of The False Left-Right Paradigm
Post Date: 2009-04-20 16:44:25 by christine

Outside the political boundaries that seek to control dissent against the unconstitutional apparatuses of government, lies a group of independent people who have been attacked under the Bush administration as communist terrorists, and under Obama's as fascist racist. The people who propagate this fraud are millionaire media shills who push partisan propaganda to the benefit of the owners of both parties, the special interests, military industrial complex and banking oligarchy to name a few. This is extremely evident on the heels of the corporate media co-opting of the highly publicized Tea Party movement. The origins of this grassroots inspired event, consisted of people from different ...

In the final moments of any classic horror film, as the last ghostly images spool out on the screen, the monster at issue - Frankenstein's electric zombie, Godzilla, whatever - assumes an almost sympathetic figure. In its thrashing death throes, the scourge which had so recently stomped peasants or scorched Tokyo becomes strangely noble, tragic. So why, as it slips down the drain of political relevance, does this phenomenon not grace the fading Republican Party? Could it be the comic, slapstick nature of its frothy desperation? It just hasn't been the best of years for the GOP. The once-formidable elephant, so spiteful and threatening, now seems a leftover Easter Bunny, dead ...
The Battle of Kings Mountain: Then and Now

Since April 19th, 1775, Americans have changed year by year until much of our national character has been lost. Two unmistakable traits have receded to the point that people who possess them today are considered odd or even dangerous. The first of these is a powerful independence of spirit. The second characteristic is a fierce drive to defend one's life, liberty, and property. Today's Americans seem content to leave the reigns of power in the hands of an ever-strengthening political oligarchy. This may have been inevitable, as modern comforts replaced the pressures of colonial era living. While this April 19th is a Patriot's day like any other, please take a moment to think ...

Rendering Unto Caesar

At the request of the White House, Georgetown University covered up all the symbols in Gaston Hall, before the Great Man spoke, including IHS, the millennia-old monogram for the name of Jesus Christ. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, had adopted the monogram in his seal and it became an emblem of the Jesuit order. When it comes to rendering unto Caesar, Georgetown is not going to be outshone by Notre Dame, which stole a march by offering the nation’s avatar of abortion a doctorate of laws degree, honoris causa. Actually, it is regrettable the IHS in Gaston Hall was not covered up in shame the first week of Lent. For that week Georgetown’s feminist and ...
Commentary: April 15 is patriots' day

(CNN) -- Happy Patriots' Day. April 15 is the one day a year when our country asks something of us -- or at least the vast majority of us. For those who wear a military uniform, those who serve the rest of us as policemen and firefighters and teachers and other public servants, every day is patriots' day. They work hard for our country; many risk their lives -- and some lose their lives. But for the rest of us, the civilian majority, our government asks very little. Except for April 15. On this day, our government asks that we pay our fair share of taxes to keep our beloved country strong and safe. Freedom isn't free. That's what the courageous World War II veterans of ...

94 Years of Serfdom

This April 15 is the 94th year that Americans have had to file an income tax. For most Americans, the day is a non-event. The federal and state governments have already collected the taxes due by withholding from each paycheck over the course of the calendar year. Most Americans never saw the money and have no real idea that they earned it. Some Americans have their incomes over-withheld as a form of forced savings. They look forward to tax time as it means they will receive a refund check from the government that they can use for a summer vacation, a big screen TV, a new appliance, or a down payment on a new car. Few Americans realize that over the last 94 years they have been enserfed ...
Is Texas A Terror State?

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas fits the Department's profile of potential domestic terrorism described in their newly released report titled, " Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment". Islamic extremists' acts of domestic terrorism were recently given the dignity, by Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano and President Obama, of being classified as man-made disasters, and abroad, the "war on terror" has been reclassified as an "overseas contingency plan". But an entire non-Islamic class, or perhaps by extension entire states, according to the report, are ...
Anti-Obama Taxpayer Tea Parties steeped in insanity [Full Thread]

he Web is buzzing with information about how to throw an anti-Obama Taxpayer Tea Party, something organizers hope will be held today from Santa Monica to South Carolina. But no need to burn up your bandwidth reading complicated instructions. Here's a simpler recipe: Go to a hobby store. Buy a scale model of a U.N. One-World-Government Black Helicopter and a tube of glue. Toss the model kit. Sniff the entire tube of glue. You're all set for the party. I can recall only a few outbreaks of such collective insanity as these tea parties in recent years. There was that time in the mid-1990s when a $19.95 video proving Bill Clinton was some sort of serial killer went viral. And then, a ...

I will defend all Western countries but I feel especially close to Britain, which makes it all the more sad to see how humiliated this once-great nation currently is. The English language once conquered the world. Now the rest of the world is conquering the English-speaking countries. If current trends continue, people in Singapore will know English while the nation that created the English language will cease to exist. At the same time as sharia law has gained official recognition as a part of the British legal system and Muslims proudly talk about conquering the Western world, a British woman was arrested because of a supposedly "racist" doll she kept in her window.

After successive elections unseated the Republican majority and sent John McCain to defeat, neoconservatism seemed like a spent force. Francis Fukuyama wrote wistfully about life “After Neoconservatism” in 2006. Ian Buruma described the McCain campaign as the neocons’ “last stand” and harrumphed that they “will not be missed.” One would expect neoconservatives to be friendless and circumspect, grumbling about Obama’s inevitable failure as they slump away from Washington. Instead, they are jubilant, palling around with liberals again, enjoying renewed respect. Obama is their hero. On March 31, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, Washington Post ...

Obama Maintains His Perfect Batting Average for Appointing Failed Insiders to Key Economic Posts
Post Date: 2009-04-13 20:56:04 by Horse

Other than Paul Volcker, who Obama has already sidelined (and I know not everyone likes Volcker), all of his economic advisors have been insiders who directly helped to create the current economic crisis. Summers failed as the main guy who pushed for deregulation of derivatives, lowered bank fractional reserve lending requirements, etc. Geithner is the guy who - as chief overseer of the banks located in Manhattan when he was head of the New York Fed bank - gave the big banks a free pass. You can go through the entire list of appointees and the story is the same. Now, Obama is naming the current head of Fannie Mae, Herb Allison, as the new head of the TARP bailout program. Allison has ...

Self-proclaimed "conservatives" love to tout themselves as ardent supporters of the "free enterprise" system. In the name of "capitalism," they support any and every piece of legislation or governmental decision that caters to business--especially Big Business. Favorite policies of these folks include anything and everything that calls itself "free trade." Furthermore, these same "conservatives" will support just about anything and everything that is said to advance the so-called "global economy." Needless to say, in the name of "free trade" millions of American jobs and thousands of American manufacturing plants have ...

Symptoms of the conservative crack-up were on full display after President Obama's trip abroad. Bill Kristol, take a bow. April 13, 2009 President Obama's recent trip to Europe, Turkey and Iraq was a fairly bland freshman outing in foreign affairs, notable for the enormous good will it generated toward the U.S., along with some practical achievements and a few minor errors. It lacked the drama of the untested young Kennedy grappling over Berlin with the wily old Khrushchev in Vienna in 1961. On the American Right, however, Obama's trip produced a hysteria not seen since radio listeners mistook Orson Welles's 1938 radio production about an invasion from Mars for the real ...
