Billions for war

In yet another disgraceful insult to American citizens, our Emperor Bush, is threatening to veto funding for the US government highway trust fund, which helps fund highway projects across the country.
Per Republican John Mica of the House Transportation committee:

"Unless we act now, each state’s highway programs will experience severe disruptions and thousands
of highway projects may be delayed or canceled."

The failure to fund this program, $ 8 billion dollars for another year of operation, will result in thousands of lost jobs.

To put this in perspective our Regime spends $12 billion dollars a month on operations in Iraq, they paid KBR(a former Haliburton division) $20 billion for supporting our troops in Iraq, and Bush approved $200 billion for war spending in 2008. Yet we cannot fund road repairs or help rebuild the gulf coast because our government is busy funding Haliburton, destabilizing the middle east with wars and blindly sending billions to Israel.

We need Regime change today.

Hypocracy can be funny too

Are you patriotic enough?

As a veteran and a participant in the Iraqi War debacle, I am tired of the Republican Party selling itself as the Party of the patriots.
What is so patriotic about spending Billions of Dollars a month on military contractors while our gulf coast is still in need of help after Katrina?
What is patriotic about sending 1 Billion dollars to the country of Georgia, when so many here in America don't have health insurance?
What is patriotic about giving oil companies tax cuts and NOT supporting alternate energy technologies to make us independent of the middle east and their craziness?
What is patriotic about letting Bin Laden walk free in Pakistan?
What is patriotic about repressing our civil liberties through draconian legislation under the guise of fighting terrorism?
What is patriotic about lying to the American people about WMD's and Iran in order to create wars?
What is patriotic about putting the interest of Israel before the interest of our country?
What is patriotic about invading countries unilaterally without approval or support from Congress?

Abramoff sentenced to 4 years

The WashingtonPost reported that disgraced Republican Lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced to 4 years in prison on various corruption charges that have implicated fellow Republicans such as Tom Delay. The story did not really divulge the full extent of the corruption or his links with the Bush Regime however we do have pictures of the two together and PBS published a video investigation into the stinking affair, which PBS host Bill Moyers calls the worst case since Watergate.

George Carlin tells the truth

George Carlin passed away recently and with his passing we lost a great american hero and champion of the Republic. In honor of his mission to educate us all please see the video below:

Traitors to us all

Why do we still have troops in Iraq? The Iraqi government wants us out, the American people want us out but the current oligarchy of neo-cons, those despicable men of arrogance and corruption want to enforce the will of America on the democratically elected government of Iraq at the price of American blood. By eliminating the regime of Saddam Hussein and establishing a new government of Iraq the military accomplished all plausible objectives but yet we are being asked to continue risking our lives with no realistic objective or purpose.
I have lost friends to this bullshit war and it served no purpose because we did everything our country asked of us and then some, yet we are still in Iraq. Our blood and death seems of little consequence to our government as we are but pegs in the machine. Our families and most Americans, mourn for our losses while being blinded to the truth of our callous masters who shroud themselves as patriots, wave the flag, and wear patriotic pins, but when it was their turn to serve they hid behind their fathers and wealth, dodging not only a war but their moral responsibilities to our nation.
As a professional soldier we all understood that at the end of the day our lives were forfeit for the needs of our country, but how can we stay quiet when our very government has betrayed us and our Constitution? If I am lucky enough to die honorably and in a noble cause then I welcome the day, but Iraq is neither noble nor honorable.

These men are traitors to our country and constitution:
George W. Bush
Cheney
Rumsfeld
Wolfowitz
Libby
AND ALL OF THE NEOCON CABAL!

To these men we are all sheep and they are the masters of our souls.
