Shutting Down the Information Society, Bush-Style »
Posted by: Radiofreeeuropa 11 months, 2 weeks agoThe Bush team has quite literally been a force for darkness. For those who remember the "memory hole" down which the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Truth dumped all uncomfortable or inconvenient documents in Orwell's famed dystopian novel 1984, this administration has created its functional equivalent. op-ed

Ah yes the regressive party! Don't forget to participate in the general strike on Sept. 11th. (Unless you believe government is representing your wishes).

They work for their own benefit. Fire every last one of them and start over. If that doesn't help do it again and again until these leeches get the message. They are supposed to work for us. Lets take away their power by voting them out of office. as far as Bush and Cheyney IMPEACH them now. Doesn't this remind you of Germany when Hitler took over and burned the books. Krystal Nacht I believe was the term. Or was that the night they destroyed the Jewish business owners properties then made them pay for it.

They didn't work for the American people the day they were elected!
They ran on the platform of "change course" and were oddly silent when asked what course they intended. The reason they never told us what the "change" would be was because the only change would be more power for Democrat politicians and their earmarks. Nothing romantic about it.

They are not screaming because they have lost their voice of reason. They are bought and paid for by corporate interests and earmarks and lobbyists and corrupt campaign contributors.
Other than that? Things are just peachy.

As Shadowolf points out congress will not be saving the day, they seem to be committed to the "business as usual" ethic.
The only shred of hope we have is if the people dissent.
Why on earth should these people stop lining their pockets with k street bribes if we don't stand up and demand that it stop?
General Strike Sept. 11th

Great article, thanks Radio. So people, where is the OUTRAGE, where is the righteous indignation? The government gets away with this stuff because we LET them get away with it. And voting them out in 08 won't change anything either, we're just gonna get a new crop of business as usual losers again. We have to take to the streets like it was the 70's, we have to call and call and call and shut down the Senate switchboard.
They are already minting the Amero at the Denver mint are we gonna sit back and let them take away our national sovereignty? We all have to start saying, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!"

What happened to freedom of information? Here's your answer: We are at war with people who turned commercial aircraft into missiles. We had to re-define what gets classified in this new type of war we're fighting.
So keep doing your 9/11 truther thing.
Keep chanting Bush Lied They Died.
I'm going to work. It's my job to protect those who chose to work or take that day off!

You are working for Nazis. You are not "protecting" us, you are protecting them. Do something useful with your life, Bush Cheney and their minions are criminals and should go to prison. Who caused 911 doesn't matter, because far more people have been killed in its name than were ever killed here. And the native citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan were not responsible, and any claim that they were is an outright lie, and everyone except for really gullible and/or stupid people know this, it is common knowledge. It was before we started the war in Iraq, and even today the role of Al Qaeda in Iraq is blown completely out of proportion by the government... media. Why are American lives worth more than Iraqi lives? Because you are working for Nazis.

Far better men and women than you'll ever be serve to defend this country against external enemies you apparently are unable to comprehend. Your buddy, Osamah bin Laden's latest rap video even uses your lib-lines and Democratic Party talking points. Do you really choose to be on his side, against all of western society?
Have you served in Iraq? (Or do you just read liberal rants about it?) The primary reason Iraqis are dying, is that the Wahabist fundamentalists understand that a stable democratic government in the southwest Asia trumps their desire for the World Caliphate. A successful capitalist economy with a generally secular government is intollerable to the Wahabists. So they attack both Shia and moderate Sunnis to forment civil war.
Get a clue, and stop gratuitously hurling "nazi" epitaphs at the heros that secure your right to speak freely.

Oh so what. We had people kill Americans under Reagan and the US did nothing. Hell, we lost Marines in Lebanon then left with our tail between our legs. But you know what, we would have lost far more had we stayed there and done some macho BS 'bring it on' crap.
This jingoistic crap is just a way for the Neocons to scare soccer moms into voting Republican. Get them to think a terrorist is going to knock on their front door and do in the kiddies. You know what, Bin Laden doesn't know where most places in the US are. Let alone most of the Red states.
There is a Security Classification Guide that is supposed to be written for every project or operation. You classify based on that. Not some Bush/Cheney scare the people crap. Agencies declassify, not Bush not Cheney. The originator of the information. That's why the declassification notation is OADR Originating Agency Declassification Review. Clinton had it right, there is too much crap floating around classified.
Just GOP crimes.

Your rant is even more ignorant than that of jdhatl. He writes like a high school student in some upscale suburb of San Francisco. He doesn't know any better, and parrots the "anti-establishment" jingos that he heard at some rally.
You have a little education and work experience. You were probably a political partisan at some low level of the Clinton Administration, and had your hopes for political advancement dashed when Algore lost in the Electoral College in 2000. (In my mind's eye, I see the blood-pressure rising off the chart in all the lib readers of this string! Careful kiddies! Take some more drugs.)
Are you aware that Osamah filled his latest video with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's anti-Bush, anti-OIF talking points. How do YOU feel about being on his side? I can't wait for the "bump in the polls" that the 2008 Demo candidate will get from Osama's endorsment! LOL!!
