Yes, We Can

Nothing to say at the moment, but I have a pretty inspirational video for you to watch. It comes from the "Yes, We Can" speech by Barack Obama. Let me tell you, it is one of the most amazing and inspirational videos(and speeches) of our generation. This man is my candidate for president and hopefully he wins it.

Enjoy. I feel a rant coming soon so hold tight.

Sh!t adds up at the bottom...

Hear ye, Hear ye!

All of you join together to listen to a tale of epic proportions.

Two men, two courageous(dim witted) gentlemen(tyrants) took the wheel of a country and spun it wildly.

How did they get to the wheel? They blew off fireworks, told you your mother needed you, and threw sand into your eyes.

They spoke out with lies,
They sit and still deny,
the tears that fall from a torn mothers eyes.

Your brother,
Your father,
They we're unbiased
with the sacrificed
Your mother,
Your sister,
they speak as the pious
between the gears they grind us.

People want to send e-mails to get these men impeached.
You honestly believe...that e-mails will change the minds of people in office? C'mon now.

These are the people that had the chance to stop Bush and Cheney, but decided to vote for them in fear of being looked down upon.

Bush and Cheney and the republican party have taken advantage of the fact that everything in this world is ran by fear and money. They took the money and distributed it through fear. They both deserve impeachment, if not execution for each life lost because of their lies.

Some have said that these men are brilliant for what they have done. The things they have gotten away with.
Brilliant? You believe these mens strategies and lies are BRILLIANT?
This isn't a damned Tom Clancy novel. The end isn't already written (well for some it is). This is REAL life. These strategies cannot be glorified in any way. The lies led thousands of men women and children to their deaths.

Impeachment, even if it is so late in the term, is exactly the message the American people need to make at this time. Not only for themselves, but for the candidates in the race. We need to show them this is OUR country. That money and deceit can not and will not run our country ever again.


Shit adds up at the bottom.

Clinton Called Out

I was wondering when this was finally going to happen on a larger scale then peoples personal blogs. Dennis Kucinich was interviewed by Truthdig's Associate Editor Kasia Anderson regarding how Kucinich felt toward Clinton's topsy turvy nuclear stance.
Kucinich goes on to mention the responsibility you must bear with making a statement like this:

"Is she unaware of the fragility of conditions on the Asian subcontinent with respect to nuclear parity and first-strike concerns? Does she really mean what she says, and is she ready to take responsibility for potentially catalyzing a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan? Has she really thought this through? This really raises questions about whether she has the thoughtfulness to be able to lead the nation. Given her willingness to attack Iraq without any evidence whatsoever, without having read any of the documents, without having done any of the research—is she that susceptible that she’s willing to reach for the nuclear football?"(Truthdig)

So, the question then boils down to "Does she really know what the hell she just said?" There is a large burden that is now on her back and the backs of the democratic party now that she said something like this. She is the leader of the democratic polls and if chosen would be the voice of the democrats for the next election. This could just be a last ditch effort to seem tough like her republican counterparts. If she wanted to act tough she should have just made some crazy comment like we should DOUBLE the size of Guantanamo Bay, you know something original... Oh wait, those darn Republicans take all the good ideas.

This move on her part to say something this drastic, or this stupid, just seems like it is going to start digging the same hole democrats were in from last election. She is, as one of the front runners and just a member in general, speaking for the democratic party and as far as I know democrats don't like it when someone speaks as a republican. Saying that "All options are still on the table" is to take that donkey you rode in on and walk it right over a cliff.
Kucinich made a statement in his interview regarding the weight and effect a statement like hers could have:

"There’s a doctrine of first use which really is a violation of international law. The first-use doctrine is the prelude to Armageddon. We live in a time where the entire world understands the imperative of getting rid of nuclear weapons, and Sen. Clinton’s lack of awareness of the danger of that kind of rhetoric legitimates the first-strike doctrine among all nations. And so, in some ways, her comments necessitate a deep discussion within the Democratic Party about what we stand for."(Truthdig)

The full interview can be found on the link at the end of the quotes if you want to read it. It is a good interview and I am glad somebody is calling her out on this.

Is this really what we want as president? Because to me she seems very unfit to have that type of power. I believe the same thing regarding the republicans. The fact that nukes can still be an option after all these years is complete lunacy.

The nuke option to me seems like a grotesque response to the attacks toward us. It seems like we are taking a beating verbally and physically from the bullies at school and instead of beating them and teaching them a lesson(which I understand will not work is Islamic Extremists) we instead make some bombs and blow up the school.

Nukes kill EVERYTHING.

We are not the country that should be boasting that sort of tactic. We should not be sitting here saying that "If we can't finish a war the old fashioned way, through mild destruction and corruption... Then we will just win it through TOTAL destruction and corruption."

Nuclear weapons are absurd.

The destruction they cause is absurd.

Electing a leader that is dumb enough to stoop so low as to use a nuclear weapon... seems pretty American to me considering our past. So congrats Hillary, because your statement might have won you the Oval office.



But seriously... Citizens don't let leaders use Nukes. Especially leaders who like to change their minds whether or not they want to use them.

Get green!

Get your lighters ready!

Usually I can think of something witty to say about a news article... Something that can lighten the mood, even with how dark it seems to get now-a-days. But this article is too serious, it is too scary for the adults and youth of this country.

"Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush's new war adviser said Friday."(NYTIMES)

A draft... A freaking draft.

Ok. Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, let me get this straight.
You are saying, and I quote:

"I think it makes sense to certainly consider it,"(NYTIMES)

Yes, It makes perfectly good sense. Let's start a draft, since it was so popular to begin with, to make sure we make some progress in this war. Let's start our youth off young hating the government. Let's start this new generation off on a great note by taking their brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers away from them forcefully(Like you know any other way) and tell them it's for the "greater good". You complain about the lack of support for YOUR war now? If you are serious that this "makes sense to certainly consider it" then you are in for it. Shine up your riot gear.

"And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation's security by one means or another"(NYTIMES)

And there is the fascist tactic of "one way or the other". The old we will continue OUR agenda if it means destroying your families. We are your government, we love our people... but we love our money and our power much...MUCH more.
I don't know how anyone can sit there and not cringe at that statement. The evil just radiates off of it. "Meeting the demands for the nation's security by one means or another."
Which is our government saying "Well if this normal war thing doesn't work out, then we'll ship off anyone of age(that of course isn't rich, and isn't related to anyone in power) and health to fix the problem. If that doesn't fix it, then we may have to take another drastic approach... another option that's on the table.
I know, I know. The link talks about Iran, but that isn't the point of why I brought it up. I brought it up because not only did our President mention this option being a viable "solution" to the war,(please correct me if I'm wrong) but I can't recall a mainstream candidate(besides Obama, who in turn is taking crap from Clinton about it) who didn't respond the same way.
"All Options are on the Table."


Well to all the Suit-wearing-Oil-Drinking-Money-Grubbers... If all your options remain on the table... And if your choice is anything BUT "Fix Our Own Problems"... Then like I said before.... Shine up your riot gear.

Confused Man Circumvents Airport Security

Chalk another one up for "national security" and the billions of dollars being put into keeping us "safer". According to CNN "A man allegedly circumvented security Friday at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina".
They have no idea whether the man had ill intent after his stealthy stroll right past security on Concourse C of the airport, but they obviously can't take any chances. The man passed through security at around 8 am and security then shut the concourse down to conduct a search of it and the planes.
This is the quote from forbes.com "Officials shut down Concourse C to conduct a search, but were not immediately able to locate him." Then they go on in the very next sentence to say "Allen said officials are searching about a half-dozen planes, but 10 others left before officials were able to search the flights."
TSA wasn't able to immediately find him...nor were they able to find him 5 minutes after that... or after that. So they are searching each plane.. hoping to find him but the man must be a crazy ninja guy... because he was not able to be found before a few planes took off... Solution? Reverse screen the planes when they land... WHEN THEY LAND... Holy... Mother... Fuc... You know what... I'll let you do the swearing for me.
Props to you Mr. "Got-Confused-and-Dodged-Homeland-Security" Guy. They should have a bud light commercial on the radio for you.


Man, I am so happy for our tightened homeland security. I mean we slow lines down to the point where you have to get there hours early so the line doesn't make you late for your plane... Which was a good tactic (and obviously a Bush one). Let's make the line unbearable for people, so only those really hell bent on getting on a plane will wait. If any "bad guys" get to the front of the line we will spank them on the hand and send them to Guantanamo Bay so they can be prosecuted for masturbating alone in their jail cell. Oh and by the way... There is no evidence that they were seen IN PERSON... This sick son of a bitch that is pressing charges was WATCHING ON CAMERA... ON CAMERA.... Ugh, God bless America...with a hurricane.





Oh and for all you people who just love our law enforcers.... Because police officer if just a marshmallow term for a group of fascists. Bitch to me about the good ones... then watch this bull shit.
