Memo to Obama: Moving to the Middle is for Losers

(Let’s face it; when you are left of center, “moving to the center” is a nice way of saying adapting conservative positions as your own. Also, when you move to the center, in such a climate as this one, where 85% of the American people feel this country is on the WRONG HEADING, what you [...]

The Baseless, and Failed, ‘Move to the Center’ Cliche

by Glenn Greenwald from Commondreams here.
Republican Nancy Johnson of Connecticut was first elected to Congress in 1982, and proceeded to win re-election 11 consecutive times, often quite easily. In 2004, she defeated her Democratic challenger by 22 points. The district is historically Republican, and split its vote 49-49 for Bush and Kerry in the 2004 [...]

U.S. Advised Iraqi Ministry on Oil Deals

(How obvious does it need to be folks? This administration is wrapping up the most criminally successful term of any president in our history. They stole billions from us and from the nation of Iraq, they put their companies in a position to rake in massive profits for decades, and we paid the price with 4,100 [...]

Baghdad’s walls keep peace but feel like prison

(The “surge” failed on many different levels. But the one thing they credit the surge with, the reduction of violence in Baghdad, isn’t about the numbers of troops on the ground; it’s about treating the inhabitants of Iraq as if they are all criminals, and forcing them to live in a ghetto-like prison of a [...]

Keith Olbermann; Then and Now

(Olbermann is no Edward R. Murrow; never was, never will be. His self righteous indignant rants about George Bush or Scooter Libby are mearly window dressing; a “brand” if you will to buy him our credibility. But I have always suggested they are the hollow howlings of a “star” working for one of the largest [...]

Kucinich: ” We went to war for the oil companies”

(So close, he is… Yes, we didn’t go to Iraq to bring “freedom” like Scott McClellen says so often in his new book and on almost every interview he gives. We didn’t go for cheap oil, and we didn’t even go for oil at all; we went into Iraq for the oil COMPANIES. And that [...]

Vidal: Bush ended US as a republic

(The only problem I have with the following article, and therefore Vidal’s conclusions, is that Bush does not have the capacity to formulate the destruction of the Republic as it has occurred. He also was not present in many of the secretive meetings that took place prior to 9/11 nor was he even trusted to [...]

A Plague O Both Your Houses!

by Scott Creighton
The game is over and we are sped, dear Friends. Finally, the democratic leaders and followers of “Our Branch” of government has willfully and maliciously sided with the side their bread is buttered on leaving us dry and wondering what is too come.
The 4th amendment is dead. May it rest in peace.
“The Fourth [...]

Meet the Next Vice Cheney

the first thing I ever posted on this site exactly one year ago was written in early Jan. 2007:
Preparing the New Regime in it I say “And there they are.  Side by side.  Lieberman and McCain, a pseudo democrat and a republican veteran, ready to be molded, processed, and field tested for [...]
