Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
so, that's the best way to get intel. What do you suggest, ask someone nicely to please give us information? And besides, do you have concrete proof that that happened, and i don't want abu ghraib. THat clearly wasn
t ordered by high-ups, it was a bunch of soldiers who acted on their own. Of course, i don't consider being stripped to be torture, more like embarassment.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
The only people who don't get lawyers are people who aren't US citizens, so they don't get that right (like POWs)
And where's your proof about the deporting?
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
You betcha!
Your government suppresses the science that doesn’t fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
I don't know what you're talking about, i never heard a word of creatonism or any other christian theory once duering all my high school years.
Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.
And you are denying the newborn a chance at life.
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
you're starting to sound like a bigot, and you are very intolerant to anyone who dosn't agree with you, and you are ingnorant to the facts and the rights of everyone else.
People look at all this and think of Hitler – and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
Yeah, bush killed millions of jews, and is a mindless fascist. Lock your door, or he might get you, too!
There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into “leaders” who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.
That's because people are growing wise to the Democratic parties talking points, and don't fall for them anymore. if you want to win, you should get some real issues and quit being a fanatic.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn – or be forced – to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.
You get 'em, tiger!
And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush’s outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime’s program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.
Just watch for the guys in black suits when they come to take you away.
To that end, on November 2, the first anniversary of Bush’s “re-election”, we will take the first major step in this by organizing a truly massive day of resistance all over this country. People everywhere will walk out of school, they will take off work, they will come to the downtowns and town squares and set out from there, going through the streets and calling on many more to JOIN US. They will repudiate this criminal regime, making a powerful statement: “NO! THIS REGIME DOES NOT REPRESENT US! AND WE WILL DRIVE IT OUT!”
And everyone else will have a good time laughing at you!
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
I guess we'll see on november 2 just how big you are, comrade. Are you planning to be the chairman, or the head of the politiburo?
The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
History is also full of people like you who get quickly shut down in rebellions like this, i wish you luck.

Mumia abu-jamal killed a cop, i don't see you saying that anywhere! He's a criminal, so quit feeding be that bull that he's a political prisonor. That proves to me that your cause will fail miserably.
Funny, I didn't see Jane Fonda or George Sorros or even Teddy Kennedy on there, are you too liberal for them?
You are truly laughable, and nothing more. While i do think that there are better leaders than bush, he is not nearly as bad as you think (or were told.) Gore or Kerry wern't better, so i guess that means that the dems need to find some fresh blood to run, or they won't win. Hillary in 08! see how far you go with her!
