What Is Mike Huckabee thinking?
January 15, 2008 | Filed Under News | 1 Comment
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
Is it time to pull out, yet?

President Bush doesn’t have a lot of friends left!

ABC News quotes the president as saying “They view me as a war monger”
The president sat down with “Nightline” co-anchor Terry Moran at one of the vast royal palaces, and it became clear who holds the cards right now in the oil markets, with the price up near $100 a barrel. The president, who once said he’d “jawbone” Saudi leaders into lowering prices, told Moran what he intended to say to King Abdullah on the topic in their meeting.
“I will say to him that, ‘If it’s possible, your majesty, consider what high prices is doing to one of your largest customers,’” Bush said. “In other words, the worst thing that can happen to an oil-producing nation is that the price of oil causes the economy to slow down, because that will inevitably lead to fewer purchases [of oil].”
Pretty damned funny.
Here’s the article, you have to read it! “They view me as a war monger“

The U.S. Army is getting creative with the recruiting process. Our foreign policy demands are high and our children are at risk.

President Bush visits Israel
President Bush isn’t ready to be insignificant just yet. He made a trip to Israel and gave a scathing speech on the state of terrorism and the threat of Iran on world stability.
“Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.“
308,000 Barrels Of Oil Gone Missing, Ooops!
January 13, 2008 | Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
How do you not notice when 308,000 barrels of oil go missing?
That’s the question government auditors were asking after they looked into the Department of Energy’s management of oil received for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a critical program to assure energy stability in the U.S. in case of an oil crisis.
To help add to the reserve, DOE receives a portion of the royalty oil that the Department of the Interior gets in return for allowing petroleum companies to drill on government lands and waters.
The department’s Inspector General Gregory H. Friedman and his auditors found that in 28 percent of the oil transfers they examined, the amount received did not match the estimated amount to be shipped by the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service.
“To illustrate our findings regarding discrepancies, during a four-month period in Fiscal Year 2005, two Department contractors reported receiving 308,000 barrels of royalty oil less than the amount that MMS had scheduled for delivery to the market center. Yet, despite this significant shortfall, the Department took no action to resolve the discrepancy and to ensure that it had received all of the oil shipped by MMS,” according to the audit.
President Bush Violates UN Peace Resolutions
January 13, 2008 | Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
UN Resolutions ignored? weren’t we using that as a reason to go after Saddam Hussein? He violated UN resolutions he didn’t agree with, thus making him a danger to world stability? Now it’s President Bush’s turn to show how hypocritical he is by also violating UN resolutions without thinking twice about it. As if we didn’t have enough problems, Bush decides to further distance himself from American allies.
President Bush continues to disappoint the world
Real vs. Fake Republicans

Ron Paul says he’s a Republican, the neo-conservative movement that hijacked the party is not the same thing. Modern-day “Republicans” who support President Bush’s illegal war are frauds. The fear-mongering fascist-lovers are borderline treasonous and criminal.
the Death of an idea called “America”

(CBS/AP) Eighty people were arrested at the Supreme Court Friday in a protest calling for the shutdown of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Demonstrators wearing orange jump suits intended to simulate prison garb were arrested inside and outside the building. “Shut it down,” protesters chanted as others kneeled on the plaza in front of the court. They were charged with violating an ordinance that prohibits demonstrations of any kind on court grounds. Those arrested inside the building also were charged under a provision that makes it a crime to give “a harangue or oration” in the Supreme Court building. The maximum penalty is 60 days in jail, a fine or both.
The Supreme Court is now doing the bidding of the Bush Administration with the right-wing court fix in play. You can read the article about the 80 protesters who were arrested for exercising their right to free speech outside of the ‘wrong’ federal building.
