WASHINGTON - The House voted narrowly Thursday to reverse a ban on contraception aid to groups overseas that offer abortions, a pillar of President Bush's foreign aid policy.

"Bush is likely to swiftly veto the proposal and be upheld by conservative lawmakers who say no assistance of any kind should be given to organizations that promote or offer abortions."

If Satan would just stop vetoing all the good stuff coming out of Congress, maybe the peons will stop thinking of Congress as "do nothing".

They do plenty, but there's no way to get anything good done with the Grand Redneck in office. If only Barbara had believed in abortions..

Libby is guilty of a faulty memory, Berger is guilty of stealing national security documents, stuffing them in his socks and in all likelihood destroying some of them. Anyone think Sandy Boy got a sweet deal?

It has highly selective import tariffs in order to protect certain industries e.g.steel.

There is no real free press or news media, which either is, or is allowed to be, truly critical of the State. The role of the media is to 'manufacture consent' as Chomsky has ably demonstrated, and to propagate the propaganda and ideology that will facilitate the reproduction of the political status quo.

The aim of all its foreign policy is to develop and foster new trading markets and 'spheres of influence'. This masquerades as 'promoting democracy'.This is analagous to the role of Russia in Eastern Europe during the post war period, until the recent breakup of the Soviet 'Union'.

Work and freedom are inextricably bound together. The US concept of 'freedom' is realised through work and is contingent on it.

These are all classic hallmarks of a Communist State. So, was Abraham Lincoln really the first Marxist-Leninist and a founding father of the biggest communist state on the planet?

Is it because when people are listening to the radio they are usually stuck in traffic and actually hear the crap that these loonies are trying to come up with ?
Liberals have the newspapers, the colleges,cnn, abc, nbc , mtv, you name it and they have their noses in it.Plus NPR which I have to help pay for . So we have am radio and fox news channel.
What is to complain about? And if you actually had something that people are interested in listening to then obviously they would get ratings. So because you suck on radio we have to feel bad about that?
Liberals are like little kids who want to scream about free choice for everyone but if you are not tuned into what they want you to hear or watch all of a sudden it's wrong. And I swear the guys are biggest wienies...try growing a set.

When society or a nation becomes to big; just like a forest that grows to big a fire is inevitable and wipes out what is not needed. Many of the world powers eventually fell when power became to big for them; Egypt, Rome, Germany, Russia; they each owned what was known at the time but eventually rebellion and wars took over.

It seems that destruction is necessary for societies to come together and progress. If you look at 9/11 maybe it is a wake up call to stay out of foreign affairs and don't let us become to powerful for our own good. Look at Canada, they are just as wealthy and successful as us here in the States but nobody is attacking them for the reason that they do not get involved with anybody's business.

So it might be sad to ask but does destruction come as inevitable when things get out of hand and it is time for a change?

Now that Bloomberg and Nader are both going to run third party?

Nader went on a scathing attack of hillary, "She is a political coward,” he said. "She goes around pandering to powerful interest groups on the one hand and flattering general audiences on the other.

"She doesn’t even have the minimal political fortitude of her husband.”

Bloomberg is running around the country getting his face out and his feet wet, as well as pulling together big cash right now.

I think for me it was the Hurricane Katrina fiasco. The media coverage conditioned the American people that it was ok to lock up other Americans in concentration camps with no food and water in a time of crisis.

I'm taking a poll, yea or nay and comments if you agree or disagree.

The word "LIBERAL" has always had a negative connotation. It does have a positive connotation when you refer to them as being progressive.

The word "CONSERVATIVE", on the other hand had always been favored for reasons I don't understand when it indicates "intransigence" or "obstinate"

It doesn't mean that if a society has always done a procedure a certain way, that it would be the right way, or as most people have phrased it, "This is how we've always done it. " There is more than a dozen ways to skin a cat. After all, "Change is the only thing constant in this world. "

For instance, if there are 5 suicide bombings in Baghdad that kill 100 people & there are pictures of all the carnage is that false reporting or should the media not show those things because it makes Bush look bad & turns more of the US public against the war in Iraq?

1) The US military has no idea how many insurgents there are so even if they kill a lot of them they have no idea if or how much damage they are doing to them.
2) They have almost zero control of the Iraqi borders where insurgents & IEDs flow into Iraq from Syria/Iran.
3) The US military can't tell the difference between a Iraqi civilian & a terrorist.
4) The US military doesn't have control of at least 50% of all of Iraq, so there are insurgent sancuaries all over Iraq.
5) And last but not least, the Pentagon's US rules of engagement does it's best to keep US troops from killing insurgents.

These are the facts & you don't need a degree from West Point to see that Iraq (w/ only 160,000 US troops) is a lost cause. So how may US troop deaths is it going to take for Bush to finally pull the plug on his war?
