So Repugs can dish it but cant take it.
The dudes over at MoveOn.org issued a scathing- but truthful advertisement accusing the cooking the books on the General Patraeus Iraq report. In addition, they used General betray-us, a clever little play on words which I appreciated. The repugs ARE PISSED and so are the Dems. Ridiculous. So we are supposed lie down and take their ridicule, hate mongering and blatant falsifications? Because we wouldn't want to seem distasteful? Well fuck you Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I find a war in Iraq when a million people have died distasteful. I find our Presidents persistence to live distasteful. I find the fact that you two jack asses dont have the balls to impeach the Smirking Chimp EXTREMELY distasteful.
AND OOHHHH Keith Olbermann said Fox News is worse than Al-Qaeda. In playboy it looks like, but I cant access the direct link at work. The Liberal media hasn't picked up on it yet, and I certainly don't want to link a repug blog- they might think they actually matter if they get a bunch of hits.

Stickin it to the man- "Presidential Advance Manual"
An entire generation came together once in this country. Young adults joined with only one idea in common- outrage at their government. These young people organized, made signs, sang songs and expressed their rage in non-violent protests. They were successful in their endeavor and the Vietnam war ended. History tells us that Vietnam is one of America's darkest, deadliest and worse decisions we have ever made. Okay, lets be real- a bunch of stoned teenagers put together grassroots protests and scared the powers that be enough so the mother fuckers would stop sending them to slaughter. Nonetheless, their government feared them, and we can learn from them.
An article in the Washington Post today highlights a recently discovered White House document called the "Presidential Advance Manual". Please read the enclosed document just linked from the ACLU website, it will open your eyes. In it you will see how The Administration has tried to 'deal' with the loud voice of dissent. It attempts to put in place a procedure, a literal set of directives to minimize the impact of people who disagree with the current policies of this country.
This is powerful document that represents the strength the American people have forgotten they have. King Bush and his cronies will attempt to marginalize and criminalize anyone who shows dissent. Reading this short document made me laugh and brought me to tears. It is validating yet chilling. To think- they would actually hire people to heckle others who are simply exercising their constitutional right to free speech. I am grateful for every hour that I have spent protesting and dispersing information. I do not regret a single moment of police custody. This document is a silent "THANK YOU" from The Administration.
We are living in the shadow of a police state. And yet, there is hope.

Propaganda on teh Internets
Even wiki is infected now. See this Reuters article
"...People using CIA and FBI computers have edited entries in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia on topics including the Iraq war and the Guantanamo prison, according to a new tracing program..."
And no wonder- they are pulling the same crap they do on newspapers and on television- distorting facts by telling half truths, doctoring the numbers and preying upon the ignorant.

A comment on Body Image
The average American woman weighs 153 pounds. According to the same sited study, 33% of us are obese. Please keep that in mind as you thumb through the latest issue of cosmo.
Another recent study shows that women who get breast implants are more likely to commit suicide. That couldn't possibly indicate that people who voluntarily risk their lives and mutilate their bodies in the name of vanity MAY have some self esteem problems! I'm sure this doesn't apply to women that just did it so their shirts would fit better.
This bodes well for the overpopulation problem that faces the planet. If you dont die of heart disease after eating Mc Donald's twice a week for 30 years, suicide by low self esteem is sure to follow.

Warantless Surveillance
I'm sure you have seen King Bush's approval rating plummeting to Nixonian levels- But have you noticed that congress isn't doing much better?
Why should it be any different? We voted in a democratic congress to incite change, to put an end to assaults on the constitution and midnight legislature. Instead of acquiescing to their constituents demands, they decide its best approve more strangulation of our fourth amendment rights (via FISA) preferring a month long vacation. Adding insult to injury, they leave claiming victory- refusing to acknowledge that their failures constitute the largest share of their time in power.

Bible Thumping Chauvinists
Turns out, its rather easy to see where the roots of thousands of years of oppression were originated.
2 CORINTHIANS 11:3 AND 1 TIMOTHY 2:11-14
“LET A WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBMISSION, AND I DO NOT PERMIT A WOMAN TO TEACH OR TO HAVE AUTHORITY OVER A MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE. FOR ADAM WAS FORMED FIRST, AND THEN EVE, AND ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED FELL INTO TRANSGRESSION”
1 CORINTHIANS 14:34-35.
“LET YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENT IN THE CHURCH, FOR THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK, BUT TO BE IN SUBMISSION, AS THE LAW ALSO SAYS. IF THEY WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING, LET THEM ASK THEIR HUSBANDS AT HOME, FOR IT IS SHAMEFUL FOR A WOMEN TO SPEAK IN CHURCH”.
COLOSSIANS 3:18
"WIVES, SUBMIT TO YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS, AS IS FIT IN THE LORD."
ECCLESIASTES 25:18, 19 & 33
"AND A MAN WILL CHOOSE... ANY WICKEDNESS, BUT THE WIKEDNESS OF A WOMAN.. SIN BEGAN WITH WOMAN AND THANKS TO HER WE ALL MUST DIE.."
I can see hundreds of men over a span of two thousand years objectifying and repressing his possession, his wife(s) and daughters with these scriptures on his lips. Oh and guess what? It doesnt really matter because we aren't that valuable anyway.
Lot loved his daughters. BUT his quiet time was much more important...
The men of Sodom gathered around Lot's house, and asked that he bring his two guests out so that the men can "know" them (AKA they were being disruptive and rowdy). Lot offers his two virgin daughters to be raped: He says to the feisty visitors GENESIS 19:8: "I HAVE TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN MAN; LET ME, I PRAY YOU, BRING THEM OUT TO YOU, AND DO YE UNTO THEM AS IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES."
Im out of wine so repeatedly rape my innocent little girls to your hearts desire! Yet, even after this despicable act, Lot is still regarded as an honorable man.
Thats just the beginning. Look into it. And do me a favor- please DON'T look me in the eyes and tell me you are a religious feminist. There isn't such a thing- it simply cannot exist. Such scenarios remind me of a Auschwitz survivor cozying up to Hitler and admiring his public speaking skills. Its offensive, distasteful, and that kind of denial borders on psychosis.
How can you possibly associate, nay, even be part of, an institution that propagates so much hate?

Right Wing Nuts
I fucking swear- These people simply have no qualms about being racist un-educated bigots.
Zeig Heil
Separation of church and state is a crucial element to any Democracy. Consider- Do you really want morons like this dictating morality to YOUR children? Do you want them in charge of their education? How the fuck would you feel if your child came home exclaiming that the world was only 10,000 years old?
People actually believe this nonsense. No really.
