George W. Bush - First thoughts about

Back to previous page - U.S. surveillance architecture includes collection of revealing Internet, phone metadata By Barton Gellman, Published: June 15 On March 12, 2004, acting attorney general James B. Comey and the Justice Departmentâ€™s top leadership reached the brink of resignation over electronic surveillance orders that they believed to be illegal. President George W. Bush backed down, halting secret foreign- intelligence-gathering operations that had crossed into domestic terrain. That morning marked the beginning of the end of STELLARWIND, the cover name for a set of four surveillance programs that brought Americans and American territory within the domain of the National Security Agency for the first time in decades. It was also a prelude to new legal structures that allowed Bush and then President Obama to reproduce each of those programs and expand their reach. What exactly STELLARWIND did has never been disclosed in an unclassified form. Which parts of it did Comey approve? Which did he shut ...

24 May 2005 Outsourcing NSA, Stifling Press Thanks to Wayne Madsen. Another version is up at NEOCON POWER GRAB AT NSA AND AN ATTEMPT TO STIFLE THE PRESS By Wayne Madsen In the past year, I have been threatened with a libel suit in London from a rich Saudi billionaire whose Washington-based law firm just so happens to have a former Bush-Cheney campaign finance chairman and one of George W. Bush's closest Texas pals as two of its major partners. I have earned the attention of an Orwellian Ministry of Truth-like "counter-propaganda" office at the U.S. Department of State, which maintains a web site that criticizes my articles. It is against U.S. law for the International Public Diplomacy unit to directly respond to my counter-arguments, they can only legally respond to foreign queries and not from U.S. citizen journalists who they cavalierly attack. Apparently, the White House and some officials in the U.S. intelligence community have found it necessary to suppress from publication my book on corruption in . ...

10 years ago I was in Bolivia when president Goni used his army to kill 80+ peaceful protesters. peaceful protests continued and forced him to escape the country to his friend Georg W. Bush... Pictures of what happened last night in Istanbul seem like a flash back in time. it's back there: tears of anger, consternation, helplessness and hope...

Andrew Edward Briseno Obama has been implementing a policy of continuing what George W. Bush started - - - and in all fairness the accelerated Destruction of the Republic by design was started at the inception of The Republic when the British kept assaulting the young newly created Republic. The traitors of the Republic kept pushing for a central bank. They knew that if they were to control a central bank then they would ultimately be able to own everything and effectively create a culture that would give them a falsely based "legitimacy" so that they would own everything while simultaneously keeping the population enslaved with mental shackles so that the slaves would actually defend their thievery . That is what is still going on today. Remember that the last President that actually fought the Federal Reserve Bank, John F. Kennedy, had the federal Government print U. S. Government bank notes? That was at the same time that he refused to start a war with Fidel Castro and when he also refused to get the w ...

Fact: I voted for Barack Obama twice and spent over a year using the full resources of the forum to get him reelected. During that time I also did endless battle with those who felt that neither party deserved support or endorsement of the election process. Fact: Barack Obama has virulently continued and expanded upon all civil liberties abuses begun under George W. Bush. Fact: I railed just as loud (actually, louder) when George W. Bush initiated all these abuses and have never stopped howling about it in the interim. I despise the situational ethics I now see around me on the left and the right. This is not and never has been a partisan page. We are not left or right or liberal or conservative. We are anti-bully and we don't play favorites. We attack bullies everywhere in the political spectrum. *Since we can't seem to post criticism of the recently-reported privacy violations without many of you trying to blame it all on Bush, let's make some points clear: 1. Yes, this problem can be traced b ...

The Muslim Brotherhood is a creation from The Honourable East India Company and it is controlled by the Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst and British Intelligence for the Order of Malta. Start studying the connections of the Muslim Brotherhood to the Clintonâ€™s and the United States. The Popeâ€™s loyal Sunni muslims are being used to attack the Shia muslims because their caliph will never subordinate to the Pope who believes he can only be the Temporal Power over the world. This is a religious war at the heart and all part of this final crusade which George W. Bush hinted at. Remember Bush says he seeâ€™s God in the eyes of former-Pope Benedict XVI. Morsi is a bleeding terrorist if the truth is known like all the Muslim Brotherhood vermin. The idea is to put this group in power all over the Middle East to aid the coming Clash of the Civilisation. How can you remove people like Gaddafi and then replace them with leaders who are fundamental Sharia law suppressing women etc which you earlier said was part of yo ...

There is definitely something wrong with our government, when it classifies the fact that it is collecting information about the communications habits of American citizens as Top Secret! I donâ€™t really have a problem with the government doing such a thing, but I donâ€™t see how keeping it a secret from Americans is helping to protect their freedoms. Attempts to hide such things under a veil of National Security is more like what a tyrannical government would do, and not one that is supposed to be based on Democracy. I donâ€™t believe that the way to defeat our enemies is to become more like them. When you start to go down that path, then you begin to become what you are fighting against and that means your enemies are winning. When George W. Bush led this country into war in Iraq, he fell into a trap that Osama Bin Laden laid for this country. If you read the history of his motivations and his plans to strike out against the United States, then he really suckered George W. Bush into nearly bankrupting t ...

Found this in a Russian paper today. Interesting to see there, from here. HOW THE U.S. TOOK A FEW PAGES FROM STALINâ€™S BOOK For some 45 years after the end of World War II, the U.S. and the Soviet Union were locked in the deadly embrace of the Cold War. Then, communism lost the war of ideologies, the Soviet empire collapsed, and the two superpowers went in different directions. Nevertheless, it never ceases to amaze me how the two countries still seem to be joined at the hip, with the U.S. at times imitating and at times almost supernaturally mirroring political developments in Russia. During the two terms in office of President George W. Bush, the U.S. began to copy â€” in form, if not in substance â€” some aspects of Stalinism, such as searching for enemies and deploying Orwellian newspeak to justify things like torture and preventive wars. Today, Washingtonâ€™s political paralysis in the face of major domestic and international challenges brings to mind the period of stagnation under Soviet leader Le ...

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. - Lee Majors After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together. - Al Gore By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. - Socrates Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them. - Mike Tyson The great question which I have not been able to answer is, "What does a woman want? - George Clooney I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me. - Bill Clinton "Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays." - George W. Bush "I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years." - Rudy Giuliani "There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage." - Micha ...

READ & THINK I am urging everyone to read this carefully. The writer Ian Bremmer is the US diplomat who was in the run to be the Secretary of State under George W. Bush administration. The article offers an American perspective of the entire global politics. There's a lot in it for India too. It can be understood as a forewarning of greater dangers to come India's way. Please don't let the intellectual laziness of not reading long pieces get the better of you. READ & THINK From G8 to G20 to G-Zero: Why no one wants to take charge in the new global order There are three big unfolding geopolitical stories: Chinaâ€™s rise, Middle East turmoil and the redesign of Europe.

Well, well, well, our illustrious president is going to spend ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayers' money on a lavish African vacation for him and his family. And what is the obamamania media's reaction to this? "Well, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush did it." How childish. How utterly childish! Remember when you were in first or second grade and you were caught red-handed doing something wrong? What would your teacher's response be, particularly if you tried to justify your actions by saying, "Well, Little Billy and Little Georgie did it." It would go something like this: "It does not matter what Little Billy or Little Georgie did. YOU are responsible for YOUR actions, NOT theirs, and YOU must deal with the consequences of YOUR misdeeds. Two wrongs do not make anything right." And this should be our response to this misdeed on behalf of this exceedingly arrogant man. Impeach him now!

Why did the chicken cross the road?? 1. Teacher: To get to the other side. 2. The Pope: Only God knows. 3. Policeman: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll know why. 4. Sadam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. 5. Martin Luther King, Jr: I have a vision, of a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives being called into question. 6. George W. Bush :We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here. 7. Nelson Mandela: Never again, will the chicken be questioned for crossing the road. This is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. 8. Bill Clinton: I did not have any sexual relations with that chicken. 9. Dr Khoza: This chicken was beginning to think like an irresponsible Kaffer 10. Nomvethe: What Kitchen?? 12.

'Yes we can' to 'Yes we scan', Obama returns to Berlin Cheered like a rock star when he passed through Berlin five years ago on his way to the White House, Barack Obama faces a cooler reception and tough questions about U.S. spying methods when he returns next week for talks with Angela Merkel and a speech at the Brandenburg Gate. The visit comes nearly 50 years to the day after President John F. Kennedy landed in a divided Berlin at the depth of the Cold War and, in a powerful message of American solidarity, told encircled westerners in the city: "Ich bin ein Berliner" Kennedy is the U.S. leader Obama was most often compared with during his run for the presidency, when supporters chanted "Yes we can" at campaign rallies. Young, charismatic and inspirational, he represented hope, renewal and the clean break from George W. Bush that Europeans craved. "Germany meets the superstar" was the headline on the cover of Der Spiegel weekly before his visit during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign. His speech in B ...

Occupy Riverside's Marc Lombardo and His Opening Speech for the event, "Never Forgive, Never Forget: The Trial of George W. Bush" JUNE 13, 2013 Yesterday, George W. Bush was paid $175,000 to speak about leadership to various Riverside County public officials at Casino Morongo in Cabazon. Occupy Riverside, Occupy Coachella Valley, Answer LA, Veterans for Peace, and various other community organizations and members came to mark Bushâ€™s visit to Riverside County under the theme â€œNever Forgive, Never Forget.â€ Local media coverage of the event is available here and here. I was asked to speak by my compatriots in Occupy Riverside and hereâ€™s an expanded version of the speech I gave: I canâ€™t say that Iâ€™m happy to be here today but I know that this is exactly where I need to be. Today is a sad day. Today a murderous criminal, an unelected dictator, walks around free while one of our democracyâ€™s great heroes sits at trial accused of being an enemy of the state. I just heard today that the Army is filin ...

Governor Bush, as much as I respect your family, they also gave us Clinton and Obama. PLEASE, for the love of God, stand down. Reagan was a "reactionary" too...and his success gave your father an opportunity to be president. The Bushes dropped the ball when it was handed to them both times. Gore and Kerry were weak competition. Obama was made possible by George W. Bush's mistakes. Clinton should have been beat. The Bush brand and the brand of Republicanism you have come to represent is what is in trouble because you have lost touch with real conservatism. You are now only carbon copies of liberals. Republicans get deliberately demonized by the left for political purposes, and Republicans like you try to prove it's not true. The radical liberals are in the process of trying to move the center further left, and republicans like you are facilitating that. You are playing THEIR game on their terms. You will NOT be president. I like your family but cannot see you possibly winning, nor would I eve ...

Michael Hayden, NSA Director Under Bush: Obama More Transparent On Data Collection Than We Were Gen. Michael Hayden, NSA director under former president George W. Bush, defended the legality of the agency's massive phone and internet data surveillance programs on Wednesday, calling them important and suggesting that opponents didn't understand what was actually going on. Speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper, Hayden downplayed criticism of the data collection effort as governmental overreach by claiming President Barack Obama's administration had actually been more forthcoming than Bush's on the issue. "Frankly, the Obama administration was more transparent about this effort than we were in the Bush administration," he said. "I mean, they made this metadata collection activity available to all the members of Congress. Not just all the members of the intelligence committees." Some lawmakers have admitted that they were aware of the NSA's activities before the string of reports last week, which has led many to de ...

There has been criticism of the president's vacation at this time. But how does the number of vacation days the president has spent compare to his predecessors? CBS Radio's Mark Knoller has kept track of presidential vacations for years and supplied the data. So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch. Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days. To be fair, a presidential vacation away from the White House is not the same as a vacation for the average person. The president is still in contact with his advisers and on call for any emergency.

Again, Senator Sanders is spot on. Trying to keep American wages down by importing low wage workers from third world countries is one of the SCAMS of the Free Trade Agreement brought to us than none other than Bill Clinton while he was president. That's right - a Democrat...and brought to the heights of depravity and American union busting behavior by George W. Bush and his foreign and domestic policies. It's all been about shrinking the living standards of the American middle class - by shifting enormous amounts of wealth upwards to the 1-2%...even if it meant invading countries under false pretenses in order to get their hands on rich oil fields.and by exploiting low wage workers around the world within the new American Empire (initially named "The New World Order" by the first Bush in the White House: George H.W. Bush). Both Democrats and (of course) the Republicans are responsible for this new Corporate Socialist State - and leaders like Senator Bernie Sanders is one of the few in Congress recognizing ...

George W. Bush speech after capture of Saddam Hussein: The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the Dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them. Barack Hussein Obama speech, Sunday, May 1, 2011: And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as I continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, after year ...

13 JUN THU 2013 (Henry Mark Holzer, regarding Edward Snowden:) June 12, 2013 Edward Snowden: Treason or Not? There is much talk today about whether Edward Snowden, the man who exposed the NSA electronic surveillance program, is guilty of treason. As glib, and understandable, as those statements are, only a jury can decide whether he--or, for that matter, Jane Fonda-- is guilty of treason. The best, and fastest, explanation I can give of this is found in an article I wrote several years ago. Bracketed material has been added today. THE BAGHDAD BOYS: DONâ€™T CALL THEM TRAITORS By now, few people are unaware that Representatives Jim McDermott (D-Wash), Mike Thompson (D-Cal), and David Bonior (D-Mich) recently made a pilgrimage to Saddam Husseinâ€™s Iraq. There, they toured, posed for pictures, and schmoozed with Iraqi officials. And while in Iraq, McDermott made critical comments about the United States and said heâ€™d trust Saddam Hussein before heâ€™d trust his own president, George W. Bush. Understandably ...

The question isn't which came first... the chicken or the egg -- the question is which came first, Alfred E. Neuman asking "What, me worry?" or George W. Bush saying "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." --Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2000

I wish other presidential candidates could be like this and put our country first before themselves. Biden: Gore Won, But Did â€˜Right Thingâ€™ for US Vice President Joe Biden praised former Vice President Al Gore at a Washington fundraiser for U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Ed Markey after stating that Gore actually won the 2000 presidential election. "This man was elected president of the United States of America," Biden said, according to the media pool report. "But for the good of the nation, when the bad decision, in my view, was made, he did the right thing for the nation." Biden, a potential 2016 presidential candidate himself, complimented Gore's acceptance of the Supreme Court decision to halt recounts in Florida, a decision which effectively gave the election to his Republican opponent George W. Bush. "I can't think of very many who would put his country first like that, at a really, really, really difficult time," he said. "There's an awful lot of folks Al and I both know who have run for president ...

From Russia Today: Miss me yet? Polls shows Americans like Bush again Published time: June 12, 2013 18:16 The favorability rating of George W. Bush has skyrocketed, with 49 percent of Americans expressing positive feelings toward the former US president and only 46 percent expressing dislike. A Gallup poll found that for the first time since April 2005, Bushâ€™s favorability rating is higher than his unfavorability rating. And Americans across all party lines have a more positive opinion of the former president. Gallup notes that an increase in approval ratings is common after presidents leave the White House, but the numbers may still come as a surprise. Since March 2009, Bushâ€™s favorability rating increased by 14 percentage points among Democrats, 17 percent among Independents and 12 percent among Republicans. The numbers starkly contrast to the ratings he had shortly after leaving the White House. In January 2009, only 40 percent of poll respondents viewed him favorably. And at his lowest point in Ap ...

The intrusions into your personal life that Edward Snowden has exposed reaches back to the George W. Bush era, as I said was reported by Asst US Attny General Ronald Weich since 2001 when Republicans helped Democrats author the Patriot Act long ago Some 10 or more years before 2001. Boehner and current House Majority Leader Eric Cantor voted for the bill in 2001, along with 355 of their colleagues, as did now-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and 97 other senators. So when are you going to come to the better side of life?

As a former Party Hack, Neo-Con, George W. Bush supporter I feel completely comfortable saying this; We are getting the government we asked for. You want interventionism in foreign nations? You got it. You want all war all the time? You got it. You want a big powerful government that can force its will on other nations and individuals regardless of sovereignty? You got it. You are okay with warrant-less spying and wiretapping because we gotta catch those "Muslim Terrorists". YOU GOT IT. Big Government was A OKAY just as long as our guy was in charge. Well, what did we think would happen? We know that government NEVER gives back the power you give it. We knew "Our Guy" wasn't going to be in office forever. Now there is even a WORSE person to whom this UNREGULATED power belongs. We ran around chanting USA USA USA clamoring our worship of the power of our military and our government. WELL FOLKS - WE GOT WHAT WE ASKED FOR. Now the ONLY way to restore the liberty that we are watching disappear ...

For the first time since 2005, more Americans view George W. Bush positively than negatively. Which just goes to show again, that one of the truest song lyrics ever written was "Could it be that it was all so simple then, or has time rewritten every line...?"

"George W. Bush is my hero, he is my role model, he is my designated driver. [President Obama] is just imitating Bush and thinks it will make me like him. Well I don't care how many ball games you take me to or how many Yemeni citizens you blow up, you're not my real president." -- Stephen Colbert

Is Henry Kissinger War Criminal? Henry Kissinger is a former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State. He was a proponent of Metternich's realpolitikand he never met a dictator that he did not like; or at least he never met one that he thought he could not do a deal with. That is, in essence, realpolitik.From Chile, to Argentina, to East Timor, to Angola to Cambodia, Kissinger guided a US foreign policy that ran rough shod over democratic principles and international human rights law.Unfortunately, this 84 year old man still has his fingers in the US foreign policy pie. At least up until 2005, Kissinger had President George W. Bush's ear and was whispering sweet nothings about how the US objective in Iraq must be total victory. So far the man seems to have a perfect track record.In Bangladesh, Kissinger's name is brought up from time to time and it is never with fond memories. In 1970, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one country, West and East Pakistan, respectively. In that year, Sheikh Mujibur Rahm ...

Operation Fast and Furious, the Department of Justiceâ€™s seizure of phone records of reporters within the Associated Press (AP) and Fox News, and the most recent report of the FBIâ€™s broad intrusion into Americansâ€™ phone records are just a few examples of the disturbing actions taken by the Department of Justice while under the direction of Attorney General Eric Holder. As the chief law enforcement officer of the U.S. federal government, the Attorney General is responsible for overseeing the enforcement of all federal laws. Since he has failed to uphold his duties, the president should remove him. I am leading a charge amongst my colleagues to urge the president to remove Eric Holder from his position as Attorney General. NOTE: Some will argue that President George W. Bush and the Patriot Act started this. The Patriot Act requires that the records be relevant to the investigation. Conducting surveillance on all records from every Verizon subscriber goes far beyond the scope of the Patriot Act.

Tonight, Free screening - jesus Camp A chilling and brilliant film, that ended up hugely assisting in putting an end to such places. A must-see! *** The youngest foot soldiers for the Lord are shown in their native environment in this documentary. Becky Fischer is a children's pastor who runs "Kids on Fire," a summer camp for evangelical Christian children in North Dakota. Fischer believes in the political and moral importance of a Christian presence in America, and uses her camp to reinforce the religious training most of her charges are already receiving at home (the majority of the campers are home-schooled by their parents). Using video games, animated videos, and group activities to help put her message across, Fischer encourages the kids to pray for George W. Bush and his Supreme Court appointees while urging them to help "take back America for Christ." For the most part, the children seem reasonably ordinary beyond the fact they pray with uncommon fervor and sometimes speak in tongues. Along with F ...

"I have tapes from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 all talking about how George W. Bush was the devil for doing things that Barack Obama [has] expanded upon." -- Joe during a talk about Dem response to surveillance and drones under Obama vs. Bush. What do you think?

Separate from the Patriot Act, though, President George W. Bush authorized the National Security Agency to conduct a highly classified wiretapping program. Normally, the government needs a warrant to spy on Americans but Bush allowed the NSA to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens, read their emails and collect their phone records â€” all without warrants.

Gallop Poll released today says that former President George W. Bush has achieved his first positive public rating since 2005. The poll says that 49% of Americans now view his Presidency favorably as opposed to 46% who view it unfavorably. What do you think is responsible for this shift?

The stupid liberals in this country had a grand ol' time with President George W. Bush's butchering of the English language, and let Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, or Paul Ryan make a slip of the tongue or have a brain freeze or let Marco Rubio take a sip of water and the liberal state run media will turn it into a major news story. But not so with *** Obama's verbal screw-ups. So, I'm here to bring balance to the ridicule, and to point out just how incredibly stupid Obama really is. Remember when VP Dan Quayle was virtually laughed out of Washington for misspelling potato back in 1992? Yet Brainless Obama made a much more elementary flub when, during a 2008 campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon, he said: "I've now been in 57 states - I think one left to go." What a freaking moron!!! How could anyone be dumb enough to make such a ridiculous comment?? It's no surprise that he won't release his college transcripts. Not only does Obama not know how many states there are, he also doesn't know w ...

So everyone is up in arms about the NSA checking phone records. And they act surprised by it. This is old news. This is what George W. Bush enabled when he signed the Patriot Act in. Personally, I got nothing to hide so I don't give a crap. I do think Edward Snowden is a traitor and should be hung from the torch of the Statue of Liberty. This guy is going to buy asylum with classified information that he will give to China when he should be sent to Guantanamo Bay.

In a Gallup tracking poll released Tuesday, former-President George W. Bush currently stands with a favorability rating of 49%, compared to 46% who see the 43rd president unfavorably. Meanwhile, another Gallup poll shows President Obama with only a 47% approval rating, with 44% disapproving.

"Of course, to those swinging through the revolving door between the government and its defense contractors, it must be difficult to draw a distinction between their changing roles. James R. Clapper, the chief intelligence official in the Obama administration, who is now investigating this security lapse, was himself a top Booz Allen executive. And it should be of little surprise that John M. McConnell, currently vice chairman of Booz Allen, was previously the chief intelligence official in the George W. Bush administration. It's crony capitalism at its patriotic best."

Exclusive: Inside Account of U.S. Eavesdropping on Americans U.S. Officers' "Phone Sex" Intercepted; Senate Demanding Answers By BRIAN ROSS, VIC WALTER, and ANNA SCHECTER Oct. 9, 2008â€” Despite pledges by President George W. Bush and American intelligence officials to the contrary, hundreds of US citizens overseas have been eavesdropped on as they called friends and family back home, according to two former military intercept operators who worked at the giant National Security Agency (NSA) center in Fort Gordon, Georgia. The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), called the allegations "extremely disturbing" and said the committee has begun its own examination. "We have requested all relevant information from the Bush Administration," Rockefeller said Thursday. "The Committee will take whatever action is necessary."

Bush was president, the media and most of the country, including me, were in an uproar, about the possibility, that the govt. could find out, what library books you checked out! Now, it comes to light, the govt. is listening in on your phone calls, has access to anything on the internet, and is spying and storing this info in Utah, AND YOU FREAKING DON'T CARE? HAVE YOU ALL GONE MAD? DO YOU REALLY THINK, SINCE YOU AREN'T A TERRORIST, THEY CAN'T USE YOUR INFO AGAINST YOU? WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE ROMNEY FUNDRAISER, WHO'S COMPANY WAS FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS, BECAUSE HE BACKED ROMNEY?? DON'T BELIEVE ME, LOOK IT UP!! THE IRS HAS TARGETED CONSERVATIVES AND RIGHT TO LIFE GROUPS, AND YOU THINK IT'S OK, THEY HAVE YOUR LIFE IN THEIR HANDS? WHAT THE *** IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE??? WHEN THEY HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS, THEY HAVE YOUR SOUL! CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE SOLD YOUR SOUL, TO THE DEVIL!!!

LTE in Cheboygan MI. Tribune this morning. Since I like posting letters by the local *** I thought I'd share one by someone who shows a bit more brain matter. HERE IT IS: Where are the probes? Bob Cesca in the Huffington Post writes: â€œA little history puts Benghazi into proper perspective. During George W. Bush's presidency there was not one but 13 attacks on U.S. consulates and embassies, which left dozens of Americans dead. To list just a few: the 2002 attack by an Islamic exÂtremist on the U.S. Consulate in Calcutta, India, which killed five; the suicide bombing at the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, which killed 12 and injured 5l; and the 2003 assault by al Qaida terrorists on the diplomatic compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which killed nine Americans. How come Republicans, so outraged by Benghazi, didn't protest those attacks? Where were the hearings into who was at fault?â€ Doris Parker Ocqueoc

Former President George W. Bush gave Verizon and AT&T retroactive immunity in 2008, from liabilities for essentially violating their own terms of service in participating in extrajudicial surveillance, dismissing lawsuits against them at that time. Personally I don't blame Obama directly for building this architecture of national surveillance but what I am taking him to task for is being a hypocrite who has perpetuated it when he promised transparency in Government.

I would like to thank my family and friends who have praised God on my behalf for seeing another year. To all those who have expressed their well wishes for my witnessing another year, I say thank you. I celebrated by wanting to do something different. I visited the George W. Bush presidential library at SMU in Dallas, TX. I learnt a lot about the man Bush and circumstances sorrounding his presidency, from that surprise look photo on his face on Sep 11, 2001, to the unbelievable gold gifts our thief, thief African presidents gave him, and Sadam Hussains bunker pistol. Stay tuned.

The Edward Snowden affair shows us exactly why Barack Obama was made to be president. I find Obama's dismissive tone regarding the complete abrogation of the US constitution much more insulting and repugnant than George W. Bush ever was. Barack Obama has absolutely ZERO control over the national security state and any statement he makes on the subject only serve to underline the fact that our Republic is dead. Anyone that was paying attention already knew that the NSA monitors all of our communications, but now they will do it completely in the open with no shame and under the guise of law. Now where are the self-sacrificing heroes that claimed they would bear any cost for the cause of liberty? Now that fighting for freedom does not involve simply murdering random people in far off lands?

When Obama was in his first 2 years of office, both houses were held by the DEMS. He could have EASILY repealed the Patriot Act.BUT he didn't. Now he blames BUSH.REALLY..Obama has gone so far past what the Patriot Act could do, that it isn't even funny. In fact when Obama was running for the presidency he said that the 1st thing he would do, if he won, was to repeal ANY of Bush's executive orders that he didn't agree with...so I guess he agreed with the Patriot Act.he just wanted someone else to blame. On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011,[2] a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA Patriot Act:[3] roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves" â€” individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups The USA Patriot Act of 2001 is an Act of the U.S. Congress that was signed into law by President George W.

Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of *** Cheney, is an outspoken and controversial proponent of hardline U.S. foreign and domestic policies on the â€œwar on terror.â€ During the George W. Bush presidency, Cheney worked in the State Department overseeing Middle East policy. After the election of Barack Obama, she became a standard-bearer for the militarist agenda pursued by her father during the Bush years, founding a right-wing lobbying group called Keep America Safe and serving as a go-to pundit on conservative media outlets like Fox News. Shortly after it began operations in late 2009, Keep America Safe, which Cheney cofounded with the Weekly Standardâ€™s William Kristol and support from conservative donors like Melvin Sembler, became a lightening rod for controversy. In February 2010, the group released a video that questioned the loyalty of Justice Department lawyers who had defended terrorism suspects. Defending the video, Michael Goldfarb, an adviser to the group, recklessly claimed that the lawyers . ...

I find it hard to continue to be proud to be America, but George W. Bush and especially Obama have destroyed my pride aa an American. We live in 1984. I love my country, but HATE my government. I will die clutching an American flag before I let these tyrants enslave us.

President Barack Obama is distantly related to two of his most outspoken critics -- Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin and talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh -- as well as to former President George W. Bush , according to a genealogy website.

"Even at the height of the Cold War, the U.S. enacted the FISA statute, which criminalized government eavesdropping on American citizens without warrants. Every President until George W. Bush â€” including Ronald Reagan â€” was able to keep the country safe while adhering to that surveillance safeguard. But while even the most hawkish Americans in the 1980s â€” facing the Soviet threat â€” understood that domestic eavesdropping should be conducted only with judicial warrants, the war cheerleaders of the current decade insist that the far less formidable threat from Muslim extremists means we must vest the Government with the power of warrantless surveillance â€” even on American citizens, on U.S. soil. Thatâ€™s how far weâ€™ve descended into the pit of fear-mongering and submission, thanks to the toxic mix of fear-mongers and the authoritarian cowards they exploit." -Glenn Greenwald, August 2010

George W. Bush, April 20, 2004: "It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."

''But what makes him think that it is his place to decide to publicize those programs. While one may not be comfortable in even George W. Bush (or worse, *** Cheney) collecting all sorts of private information, I am far less comfortable with the idea that the decision to leak the information is made by a Snowdenâ€”a 29-year old high school dropout whose claims to have worked at the Agency seem a bit dubious, and really suggest that he was always a contractorâ€”or Manning, a 22-year-old enlisted man with a history of emotional problems who had been demoted for unrelated reasons...''

hello Dubya - they cancelled my flight after my high school graduation in 2002 -they did it again after my bachelor graduation in 2006 -they asked my girls to sleep with them if they want me in USA (jenna & barbara did it for me..and i came in usa in 2008) -they stopped me to get my associate degree from camden -they stopped me to get my mater degree from lasalle in just one year "YEAH" Why the *** do they scare to see me so close those *** Why do they want to keep me far from my family? .. I don't want to be friend with them .. please .. George W. Bush

Raise your hand if you think Obama has been using the Patriot Act in the way it was intended to be used and in the way that George W. Bush used it. If you raised your hand, you may lower your hand and slap yourself across the face in an attempt to snap yourself out of your stupor. You can also stop reading because you are nothing but a child in an adult's body. The Patriot Act has the word "PATRIOT" in it. There's your first clue that Obama is not using it as intended. Those of us that are awake and aware and educated on what has been going on in this country since 2008 understand that Obama views "Patriots" in this country as his enemy. The IRS was purposely targeting every organization and individual in this country whose values are directly in line with what a patriot in this country is. Obama, on the other hand, has made it his mission as president to "fundamentally transform" everything about this country that a patriot holds near and dear: Freedom and our RIGHTS under the Constitution. Not our ...

Mr. Snowden (who leaked NSA secrets) says he is "particularly disappointed with Pres Obama and his administration, which he accused of failing to sufficiently investigate officials in the George W. Bush administration for earlier surveillance efforts". I don't know how much of what I read in the news is true... but it looks like we as Americans need to know what the Patriot Act (passed after 9/11) allows.

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said, "I am President Obama, the chosen one. The world needs me, I can't afford to die." So he took the first parachute and left the plane. The second passenger, ellen johnson sirleaf, said, "I am the president of liberia and I am the smartest woman in liberian history and in the whole world, so liberian people don't want me to die." She took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane. The third passenger, John Kerry, said, "I'm a Senator, and a decorated war hero from the Army of the United States of America ." So he grabbed the parachute next to him and jumped. The fourth passenger, ex-President George W. Bush, said to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, "I have lived a full life, and served my country the best I could. I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute. "The little girl said, "That's okay, Mr. President. There's a parachute left for you. liberia's smar ...

GOP pedophilia? pedophilia and S&M trysts: A long history going back to Bush 41 and Reagan." Wayne Madsen, of Online Journal, 3 March 2005, refers to "purported sadomasochistic hedonists in the White House administrations of both George W. and George H. W. Bush." Madsen writes: "As with their fascist fellow travelers in Hitler's Germany, Franco's Spain, and 'The Colonels'' Greece, many of the fascists associated with the Bush family have a predilection for sex with children and young recruits within the U.S. military." Madsen reminds us of "the Franklin Credit Union-Lawrence King-Craig Spence child prostitution scandal in 1989 that involved midnight tours of the White House for underage male sex slaves from Nebraska and reached high into the upper echelons of the elder Bush administration." According to Madsen, it has now been revealed that "'Jeff Gannon' was intricately tied to GOP operatives ranging from George W. Bush political "Svengali" Karl Rove, to White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, and T ...

Happy Birthday Thomas Dexter "T. D." Jakes, Sr. Bishop/chief pastor of The Potter's House, a non-denominational American megachurch, with 30,000 members, located in Dallas, Texas. T. D. Jakes' church services and evangelistic sermons are broadcast on The Potter's Touch, which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, Black Entertainment Television,[2] the Daystar Television Network, The Word Network and The Miracle Channel in Canada. Other aspects of Jakes' ministry include an annual revival called "MegaFest" that draws more than 100,000 people, an annual women's conference called "Woman Thou Art Loosed", and gospel music recordings. In the fall of 2009, Jakes planned on launching a secular daily talk show, syndicated through the CBS Television Distribution group; however, economic troubles in the industry may put his new program into jeopardy. In 2005 Jakes accompanied President George W. Bush on his visit to the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In his book Decision Points, President Bush describes ...

(The government is watching and listening to EVERYTHING we do here's an article I found on a news site please read if you want to learn about how wrong "our " government is ...) WASHINGTON â€” From the time he stepped onto the national stage, Barack Obama presented himself as a civil libertarian who would take a different path from that of his predecessor, who authorized surveillance on Americans in the fight against terrorism. "It is time to write a new chapter in our response to 9/11," Obama said in a 2007 speech that outlined his vision for national security. But revelations this week of a massive phone and Internet data collection program illustrated that as president, Obama has allowed the government to sweep up vast amounts of information about its citizens while establishing some checks on executive power. The result has been a surveillance regime that largely continues the policies of the later years of George W. Bush's administration, while provoking far less dissent from Congress. Indeed, a majo ...

IFPYB vs ANCYL: A comparison - Mangosuthu Buthelezi Mangosuthu Buthelezi 08 June 2013 IFP leader says while League members spreading faeces to discredit political opponents, Brigade is organising a National Education Summit Dear friends and fellow South Africans, After signing an agreement that would maintain the US military presence in Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President George W. Bush held a press conference. This was in Baghdad, in 2008. In the midst of the conference, a journalist by the name of Muntadar al-Zeidi achieved instant notoriety by throwing his shoes at the American President. In Arab culture, showing someone the sole of your shoe is considered an insult. Throwing your shoe at them is worse, as the shoe is considered a dirty or unclean item, constantly in contact with the ground and associated with the lowest part of the body, the foot. By throwing his shoes at President Bush, al-Zeidi was declaring the President "less than dirt". President Bush, however, was unperturbed. To ...

A Few Thoughts on a Sunday Afternoon . . . All I can say is that people who are surprised that the US government is spying on them need to "get out more," as it were. Did you really think that they wouldn't use all that high tech capability to monitor citizens because it was both illegal and immoral? Did you really think they respect your rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Did you really believe they weren't liars? Now . . . do you still believe they have your best interests at heart? Do you believe they are giving you "good government?" Do you really believe anything they say anymore? If you've lost your trust in your own government, what are you going to do? Elect a new batch of Republicans? But wait, wasn't it under George W. Bush that all these things that allowed for spying on US citizens were put into place? Yes, it was. So, do you really think it's going to make any difference what party controls the government? If that's true--and it is--then you, Mr. & Mrs. America, are between the ...

Our Adversary (EZEK 28:11-19) Anyone have a week of battling the enemy? I am still facing tremendous distractions. This Friday, my family came under attack. I am confident that Jesus Christ is fighting the battle and yet Satan wants to throw me off track. Sorry if you stopped by and I wasn't in the office. It was intentional; I needed to stay focused so I worked at home. If you really have to talk to me, rather than just dropping in, give me a call. As we continue to look at spiritual warfare, I want to talk about who our adversary really is. One of the most confusing roles he plays is the angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Do you remember where you were on 9/11? The biggest winner that day did not show up to claim a prize. Oddly, Christians stopped noticing, blaming or challenging him once a war breaks out. He was not a Taliban official, an Al-Qaeda fighter, or a cave dweller in Afghanistan. George W. Bush did not want him, dead or alive; Americ ...

If you didn't see it this morning, check out Chris Wallace's Fox News Sunday. He had both Sens. Ron Portman and Rand Paul on, as well as Michael Hayden, former head of both NSA and the CIA under George W. Bush. It was fascinating to see Sen. Rand Paul hysteric reaction to NSA phone data vs. Michael Hayden's calm and deliberate rebuttal of Rand Paul. I fall on the side of advocating the NSA and CIA in their intelligence gathering to protect America, with the legislative and judicial safeguards in place. NOTE: Chris Wallace's show is replayed several times today on Fox News Channel.

All the Infrastructure a Tyrant Would Need, Courtesy of Bush and Obama More and more, we're counting on having angels in office and making ourselves vulnerable to devils. CONOR FRIEDERSDORFJUN 7 2013, 9:45 AM ET euters Let's assume that George W. Bush, *** Cheney, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, their staffers, and every member of Congress for the last dozen years has always acted with pure motives in the realm of national security. Say they've used the power they've claimed, the technology they've developed, and the precedents they've established exclusively to fight al-Qaeda terrorists intent on killing us, that they've succeeded in disrupting what would've been successful attacks, and that Americans are lucky to have had men and women so moral, prudent, and incorruptible in charge. Few Americans believe all of that to be so. Combining the people who didn't trust Bush and the ones who don't trust Obama adds up to a sizable part of the citizenry. But even if all the critics were proved wrong, even if the CIA, . ...

March 21, 2008, 12:53 pm Obama and Bush are Cousins! By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF *** froze over. A month of Sundays hit the calendar. Barack Obama and George W. Bush are cousins. According to Factcheck.org, Obama and Bush are 11th cousins, both descended from Samuel Hinckley, who lived in Massachusetts in the 17th century. Meanwhile, Obama is also related â€” even more closely â€” to *** Cheney. They are eighth cousins, both descended from a French Huguenot named Mareen Duvall who settled in Maryland in the 17th century. No word on whether the Obamas are going to be invited to the Bush family reunions each summer in Maine.

Republicans, calm your *** The NSA is acting on the authority they were given by the Patriot Act. Can we take a seat to remember who signed the Patriot Act? Was it Bill Cosby? Was it Waldo? NO. It was George W. Bush. The guy you act as if he were the 2nd coming of Jesus. HE signed in the Patriot Act to start with. You can blame HIM for this. Don't think I'm going to defend Obama here, he signed the renewal of the Patriot Act. They're both *** for doing so. I just want ya'll to stop spazzing out because what your guy authorized is taking place under a guy you despise.

The Anti-Empire Report William Blum What our presidents tell our young people In this season of college graduations, let us pause to remember the stirring words of Americaâ€™s beloved scholar, George W. Bush, speaking in Florida in 2007 at the commencement exercises of Miami Dade College: â€œIn Havana and other Cuban cities, there are people just like you who are attending school, and dreaming of a better life. Unfortunately those dreams are stifled by a cruel dictatorship that denies all freedom in the name of a dark and discredited ideology.â€ 1 How I wish I had been in the audience. I would have stood up and shouted: â€œIn Cuba all education is completely free. But most of the young people sitting here today will be chained to a large, crippling debt for much of the rest of their life!â€ As the security guards came for me Iâ€™d yell: â€œAnd no one in Cuba is forced to join the military to qualify for college financial aid, like Bradley Manning was forced!â€ As they grabbed me Iâ€™d manage to add: â€ ...

" I LOVE THIS AMERICA HISTORY " Barack Obama and Brad Pitt Are Cousins, Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie Are Also Cousins, Study Says By DENISE LAVOIE | AP | Mar 25, 2008 BOSTON -- This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie. Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates _ Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush. "You'd think with all that singing talent in the family she'd be able to carry a tune," Clinton's senior adviser Philippe ...

Far from dismantling the surveillance state that George W. Bush built up, Obama has legitimized it and strengthened its defenses against outside criticisms. Another way to put it is that America has gone dotty, and itâ€™s all part of the post-9/11 syndrome.

"The Huffington Post took the satirical route and delivered perhaps the unkindest cut of all, for a leftist, comparing Obama to former president George W. Bush. The website posted a picture on the front page photo-shopped to depict Obama as a hybrid of Bush." Why would they do this there is no comparison to the former President. They keep dragging Bush into this mess or trying to. As for me not even one day of Obama's presidency has measured up to Bush. Yet they keep calling Bush the bad guy.

~ A timeline of controversies surrounding spy programs and privacy: ___ 1978: In response to outrage over spying on activists and other U.S. citizens, Congress passes the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It creates a secret court to monitor spying within the United States. Known as the FISA court, its judges sign off on wiretapping and search warrants used against foreign agents and suspected spies and terrorists and Americans involved with them. ___ September 2001: The shock of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington pushes George W. Bush's administration to seek new powers to improve intelligence-gathering and prevent terrorism. ___ October 2001: Congress and Bush rush the USA Patriot Act into law. It gives the government unprecedented authority to search, seize, detain or eavesdrop in pursuit of suspected terrorists. Because of privacy concerns, lawmakers make the eavesdropping provisions and other controversial aspects temporary, requiring renewal by Congress. ___ December 2005: The New ...

Why is everyone so shocked at the "invasion of privacy" stuff? It's nothing new. The government has monitored "internet chatter" for years. What did you think they meant by that? Google monitors what you search for so it can target you with ads. Companies (including Verizon!) have sold your personal info so you can be bombarded by sales pitches. Paid-for TV keeps track of your habits. Monitoring phone calls is nothing new - this was set up by George W. Bush and trust me it was used. Author friends and I have joked for years that our internet searches probably give Homeland Security kittens. Technology is your front yard to the rest of the world. The only really private space you have is the sanctity of your mind... at least until "they" implant the chips... Happy Weekend!

Good evening Class: I will admit and stipulate that I have imbibed in a little adult beverage. I am on Martini With that in mind I want to bore the *** out of you with thoughts and things bouncing off the walls of my brain over all of the NSA, telephonic and metadata that is being collected on us. My posts rarely expound outlandish conspiracy theories except in satire. I believe that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and al Qaeda committed the horrendous acts of 9/11 without the help of George W. Bush or the Israeli Mossad. But I do believe that America is slowly moving toward abandoning the rights granted to us by our creator/natural law and protected by the United States Constitution Those of you who read this post and want to blame Barack Obama and/or George W. Bush you are wrong. The trend started way before 9/11. The American people have been voluntarily transferring their rights to the government. It hasn't been an overt transfer; electing both Republicans and Democrats who believe that government ca ...

The quote of the day comes from Barack Hussein Obama, not his father, the communist, but our president. In 2008, President Obama declared, "For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, *** Cheney and 'wiretaps without warrants',"

Guatemala, despite its continuing travails, has carried out the unprecedented act of bringing a former head of state to trial for his crimes, something we might remember on the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Also perhaps unprecedented is an article in The New York Times by Elisabeth Malkin, headlined â€œTrial on Guatemalan Civil War Carnage Leaves Out U.S. Role.â€ Even acknowledgment of oneâ€™s own crimes is very rare. Rare to nonexistent are actions that could alleviate some of the crimesâ€™ horrendous consequences â€“ for example, for the United States to pay the reparations to Nicaragua ordered by the World Court. The absence of such actions provides one measure of the chasm that separates us from where a civilized society ought to be. (Noam Chomsky's most recent book is ``Power . ...

The Real Danger of Liberal Bias It's That the Powerful Keep Winning and the Weak Keep Losing By: Thomas Crown (Diary) | June 5th, 2013 at 01:33 PM | 33 RESIZE: AAA [UPDATE: A federal judge has now intervened and ordered Sarah Murnaghan be put on the adult transplant list.] Iâ€™m going to tell you what media bias is really all about. Itâ€™s about a dying, 10 year-old girl and a sexagenarian, politically connected trial lawyer. Itâ€™s about official malfeasance treated as human error when a Democrat is President. Itâ€™s about power and systemic corruption that is unremarkable to people offended that George W. Bush didnâ€™t call his advisers liars to their face. It is about Fred Baron and Sarah Murnaghan. Fred Baron was a plaintiffâ€™s asbestos lawyer, a prolific Democratic bundler, a man who made a great deal of money by breaking Fortune 500 companies (possibly through subornation of perjury), a personal friend of former Presidential candidate John â€œBaby Daddyâ€ Edwards and of Bill and Hillary Clinto ...

President Barack Obama has cut out one of the Senate's most influential members â€” Iowa's Chuck Grassley â€” and the two haven't spoken in nearly four years, Grassley has revealed. After frequently talking on the phone, the calls stopped in August 2009, the time that the third-longest-serving Republican senator told the president he could not support his healthcare reforms. Grassley, a congressional powerhouse who struck landmark legislative deals with both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, told The Hill that he had been one of the Senate's "Gang of Six" working on Obamacare and the two spoke regularly. "During that period of time, the president would call me on my cellphone and talk to me," Grassley said. "I don't know if it was a half a dozen times or a dozen times, but enough so you remember he called you." But all that ended when Grassley said he could not ...

Look up "Political Scandals of the United States" on wikipedia. Then analyze the severity of the scandals, the position and fame of the person(s) involved and the level of ethics violations committed. George W. Bush's list is particularly long and revealing, Reagan's is a close second. While Obama's and Bill Clinton's lists can be viewed in one screen view, it takes FIVE to encompass "Dubya's" transgressions and four or more for Reagan's. Also note the party affiliation of the violators, look for the (R) after the names even during Democratic administrations. From Karl Rove, "Scooter" Libby, Alberto Gonzales, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, James Watt, Edwin Meese, Caspar Weinberger, William Casey, Robert McFarlane, John Poindexter, Oliver North, Jesse Helms, John McCain... and of course "Duke Cunningham, these are all top-level GOP politicians with SERIOUS violations. Then there's the Plame Affair, the Abramoff scandal, Watergate, the Iran-Contra affair, the Inslaw affair, the Keating Five, the Bush White Hous ...

Why is Obama Hiding 6,000-Page Report on Bush-Era Torture and Why is Torture Still Allowed? President Barack Obama is currently blocking the releaseâ€”or allowing the CIA to block the releaseâ€”of a comprehensive Senate report on the use of to...rture by the George W. Bush administration CIA that is said to conclude that torture was not an effective or reliable method of interrogation and that the agency repeatedly misled the White House, the Justice Department, and Congress about its interrogation efforts. Initiated by Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) and continued by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) when she succeeded him in 2009, the Senate torture probe entailed about six years of work and the review of 6 million pages of documents. In December 2012, the committee voted out the report on a mostly party line vote. Since that time, the report has been stuck in limbo at the CIA, with Director John Brennan refusing to state when his review will be complete, an ...

I Did not know this, did any of you? How many Presidents has the United States had in its relatively brief (compared to other countries) history? A quick look at any history book will give one a very common answer â€“ one which is very much in vogue these days: George W. Bush is Americaâ€™s 43rd President. Naturally, this is a tally of all presidents since the time of George Washington. It is a reasonable number, to be sure and for the most part, quite accurate. There is also a line of reasoning which might think it more accurate to give the answer of 42, as Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, making him both the 22nd and the 24th presidents. The question, therefore, is that of whether to count him once or twice. Most historians opt for the latter. Pre-Constitutional Government Still another way of posing this question is by asking whether or not George Washington should really be considered the first president. The question at that point becomes an entirely different one altogether â€“ per ...

Yes folks, youâ€™ve got to be lucky to make $4 Billion killing on a 6-month investment of $124 Million Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 33-year history the complex had EVER changed ownership. Mr. Silversteinâ€™s first order of business as the new owner was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex. The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvinâ€™s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines â€” two key players in the 9/11 attacks. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for many years to the Bush family. KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financi ...

Noah Rothman of Mediaite recently did an excellent job detailing what the progressive media said about Condoleeza Rice when George W. Bush appointed her as his Secretary of State in 2005. Rothman noted how the media dismissed Condi Rice as merely a "friend" of Bush and otherwise made it seem as if h...

Secular Satanist. There are good " Satanists" [ LaVey] and/or " Dark Wiccans" if you must. And yes, there are lots of evil Christians; as many Christians as there are evil Muslims. Operation Rescue, Army of God v. Al Qaeda=NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL. When it comes to 9-11-2001, I often feel the USA got what it deserved. I agreed wholeheartedly, but not in an Islamic way, with Saddam Hussein when he called America " The Great Satan". He was right, our stinking military goes around the world stirring up trouble because our politicians, mostly Republicans/conservatives, but some Democrats as well, feel the need to spread this " superior" form of so-called democracy called " The American Way". However, it is this " American Way", lightly-regulated CAPITALISM that CAUSES ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS; both here in USA and abroad. Born in wealthy Greenwich, Connecticut with a silver spoon sticking out both sides of his mouth [ and few brains to back him up], George W. Bush was, more than likely, Bin Laden's given reason for th ...

Well we've known student loans were designed to screw students ever since George W. Bush became president!!! It was when George W. Bush became president that tuition increased 600% and book costs increased 900%. In 2005 I was awarded a Pell Grant of $2900 but University of Iowa would only grant me $200 out of my Pell Grant per semester! Cost of one class = $300 and two text books $150 each. Oh but they have these marvelous STUDENT LOANS ! You figure out the rest!

Woke up feeling feisty today, so I thought I should irritate my conservative friends. Let me see if I've got this right: Obama "convinces" the head of the IRS (a man appointed by George W. Bush) to help him go after groups on his "fictional" enemies list? Darrell Issa claims he's "on his way" to proving Obama is guilty of something and calls Jay Carney a "paid liar?" Let's forget about the "innocent until proven guilty" principle. That just won't fit with the narrative of the "evil Black man President." Darrell Issa, meet Joe McCarthy. Joe McCarthy, meet Darrell Issa. And, before you start yelling at me for wearing blinders regarding President Obama, show me some proof of his involvement in this affair. And by proof, I don't mean parading out the Fox News talking points. One other point, lest you think I'm letting Obama completely off the hook regarding this matter. I DO think he should have been more on top of things and jumped in sooner. I also think he needs to DEMAND that those folks who w ...

BACKSTORY ALERT! Anybody besides me remember that the congressman from Washington state who attacked the victims of IRS abuse during their testimony before Ways and Means was none other than "Baghdad Jim" McDermott? "Baghdad Jim" was one of four Dem. US Congressmen who traveled to Iraq in 2002 on a trip paid for by Saddam Hussein's intelligence service to "confer" with Saddam and his government "in anticipation" of US President George W. Bush "illegally invading" that country.

Last year the SF Pride Committee overlooked my submission for Lifetime Achievement Grand Marshal Pat Brown who is one of the pioneers and founders of the *** movement. The SF Pride Committee chose instead politician (not a *** activist) Gov. Willie Brown for this honor. COMPARE: Willie Brown Two-term Mayor of San Francisco, legendary Speaker of the California State Assembly, and widely regarded as the most influential African-American politician of the late twentieth century, Willie L. Brown, Jr., has been at the center of California politics, government, and civic life for an astonishing four decades. His career spans the American Presidency from Lyndon Johnson to George W. Bush, and heâ€™s worked with every California Governor from Pat Brown to Arnold Schwarzenegger. From civil rights to education reform, tax policy, economic development, health care, international trade, domestic partnerships, and affirmative action, heâ€™s left his imprimatur on every aspect of politics and public policy in the Golden ...

Alright. So I embarrassed the *** out of myself in New York and I really didn't mean any harm. I was talking to a Mexican Sister and we were both talking about relocation and the job market among other things. As she told me everything that was going on with her, her move to here and there, California and back and so forth, I had the whitest, most Americanized moment ever. I actually asked this woman out of my mouth, "Do you have papers," as if she were a *** dog. She assured me she did, and she wasn't bothered by it, but to this day I've felt some kind of way. I'm thankful for the experience though because it taught me an amazing lesson in thinking before you speak. Yeah, that was a George W. Bush moment.

The EPA nominee was subjected to 1,000 questions. A third of the judiciary benches remain unfilled. Under George W. Bush, his judicial appointees were approved in 35 days. President Obama 127. One of President Obama's judicial nominees withdrew her name after a 2 and a half year wait. There are retired jurists coming in to hearing cases because of republican crap. Unprecedented filibusters. Unprecedented pro forma sessions(so the president can't appoint ANYONE in still unfilled federal departments.) Republican Governors and Republican Legislators(pay attention,folks, to what is going on now in North Carolina) are or have enacted new voter laws that were never EVER in place before. More blacks voted in 2012, despite all the GOP roadblocks than ever before.(Making the GOP more determined than ever to strip black folks from their right to vote.) The Supreme Court may strike down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. And further dismantle Affirmative Action.(The fact that white women have benefited more doesn't ...

By 2005, critics alleged that torture was used against subjects with the knowledge or acquiescence of the United States (a transfer of anyone to anywhere for the purpose of torture is a violation of US law). In addition, some former detainees claimed to have been transferred to other countries for interrogation under torture, such as the Australian citizen Mahmdouh Habib. In December 2005 Condoleezza Rice (then the United States Secretary of State) stated that:[3] â€œthe United States has not transported anyone, and will not transport anyone, to a country when we believe he will be tortured. Where appropriate, the United States seeks assurances that transferred persons will not be tortured." The United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) runs a global apprehension and incarceration operation of suspected terrorists, known as â€œextraordinary renditionâ€, which developed after the 9/11 attacks under the George W. Bush administration. From 2001 to 2005 CIA officers captured an estimated 150 people an ...

The point of a college education isn't so much the education as it is a means for society to divide people into upper and lower classes. It is the difference between officers and enlisted men in the military, and management vs. factory workers in the private sector. The rich want their club to be as exclusive as possible. I can think of no better proof of this than one George W. Bush, who had degrees from both Yale and Harvard, yet was still demonstrably dumb as a rock.

Conservatives, real ones, not John McCain or lindsay gram or Mitt Romney or the dozen others that are progressives in nature but real constitutional, bill of rights, free the slaves, god given individualistic liberty and justice kind of conservatives like mike lee, Rand Paul, allen west openly admit that Bush was a detriment to our society and followed none of the conservative doctrines. They openly admit both Bush presidencies were radically un american and lied and abused power put us in a bad place. But ask any liberal how Obama and Clinton did and they'll have nothing but good to say even though Obama is Bush on steroids. Literally every invasion of privacy, every lie, every overreach of executive power by George W. Bush that the Left hated is minuscule compared Obama and yet the Bush hating media sit silent, absolutely silent as they're liberties and freedoms are stripped bare. I used to think they were just stupid but now I know its all on purpose. Owned like slaves by the wealthiest in the world l ...

..well since I GUESS it's NOT BUSH'S FAULT.Must be REAGAN'S lol+ Cut and Paste of a tidbit IN THE NEWS : _ Apparently Americans are none too eager to see a Bush each time they reach into their wallets for who knows what. According to a new poll published by Vanity Fair, only 6 percent of Americans would prefer former presidents George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush â€œto be the face of a new bill.â€ Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan were all more popular choices for the hypothetical honor. For those interested, Reagan took top honors scoring a whopping 38 percent of the vote. The poll, which asked a variety of questions that garnered some disturbing results -- â€œBorn In The U.S.A.â€ for the national anthem? Seriously? -- interviewed 1,072 adults between April 18 and 21. You can see the complete poll results over at the Vanity Fair website. Just to be clear, this was a poll based on a hypothetical question, so don't expect to see Reagan on your greenbacks anytime soon. Dubya has .. ...

If gas was this expensive for gas when Bush was president there would have been screaming from every newscast. "How can he do this to people that are hurt so bad because of this terrible economy!" "George W. Bush is in bed with the oil companies!" "This war is all about oil!" "We can't sustain these high oil prices much longer!" There would be cameras at the gas stations for each day of the week. And then there's the body count we NEVER hear about anymore. Never. It's more evident than ever that the lickspittle media sure has situational outrage, don't they?!

Two things caught my attention this week: first, the ridiculous way Democrat partisans, erroneously appointed by President George W. Bush to government positions from which they exercised their power, to undercut Republicans are by reason of the Bush appointment tagged "bipartisan" by the media.

No neckties: China-U.S. summit will be casual but not relaxed Meetings between leaders of the United States and China have mostly been dour, orchestrated affairs conducted by teams of men in dark suits. But China's new President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Barack Obama are shedding the script and neckties for their first summit, an informal get-together this week in the California desert. Since President Richard Nixon's visit to Beijing in 1972, which broke decades of estrangement between the two countries, the summits have been carefully plotted rituals. One exception has been a visit by President Jiang Zemin to George W. Bush's ranch in Texas in 2002, but it was only for a few hours. But an informal setting suits both Obama and Xi and the payoff could be huge if they can build a rapport that brings the world's top two economies closer. Nevertheless, the short-sleeves meeting is shaping up as anything but relaxing - the two sides have to overcome differences on cyber-security, the South China Sea, Nort ...

I am puzzled as to why mentioning President Barack Obama sparks such vitriol. It can't be entirely racism since mentioning Bill Clinton produced similar reactions. It seems to me to be way out of proportion to disagreeing with his politics. After all, he won a decided majority of the vote. Presumably those voters were unhappy with George W. Bush's politics. I certainly was. But it seems to me that the President deserves a certain minimum amount of respect whether or not you agree with his politics. Could someone please explain?

Presidential nonprofit execs earn more than the president Some might quip that managing George W. Bush's presidential legacy is an unusually challenging job. But is it so difficult that it demands compensation of nearly $700,000 a year? James K. Glassman, founding executive director of the George W. Bush Institute, was the most well-rewarded of all the keepers of presidential legacies, according to The Watchdog's review of each nonprofit organization's tax returns. His total compensation clocked in at $684,858 a year. Not far behind was the head of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, John Heubusch, who earned $537,639. Note that the president of the United States earns less, with a salary of $400K and expense accounts of $50,000. No one expects nonprofit executives to work for free â€“ nor should they. But pay in this range tends to raise eyebrows. Sandra Miniutti, spokeswoman for the nonprofit watchdog Charity Navigator, said that compensation above a half-million dollars is "much higher" than wha ...

By: RmuseJun. 1st, 2013 Behind Their Patriotic Disguise The Tea Party Behaves Like The American Taliban During the George W. Bush presidency, there was a lot of talk about patriotism any time a question arose about the legitimacy of the Iraq war, and the implication was that questioning the Bush administration was unpatriotic because a real patriot is someone who feels strong support for his or her country regardless the leaderâ€™s deceit in taking a nation to war based on lies. Early in President Obamaâ€™s first term, the Koch brothers, neo-conservatives, and Republican Party took advantage of racial animus for the African American President and funded a so-called â€œgrassrootsâ€ movement of alleged patriots who, within months of the Presidentâ€™s swearing in, complained they were overtaxed and suffering tyranny. The teabaggers, as they called themselves, immediately claimed they were patriots and any opposition to their agenda was tantamount to Marxism or Nazism and they demanded to take â€œtheir count ...

Two cups of coffee and a couple of donuts and I've had an inner vision. Deval Patrick and George W. Bush are cast from the same mold, and most politicians as well. To a greater or lesser degree they all are full of inner joy at just being them and all that entails. They all speak the correct words but aren't always able to express it with their face or body. That inner joy is what makes so many of them make bad jokes at worse times, or blurt out how they truly feel about something. I'm great, these yokels will buy whatever I'm selling, those who don't screw them, and even when I'm gone I still have my pension, which they all pay for, and my political pals will give me a great job doing nothing somewhere. I probably couldn't contain that much inner joy either. I can feel myself smirking just thinking about it.

George W. Bush has had enough of fame and power. The former president said that holding power for too long can be â€œcorrosiveâ€ and that he now wants to spent his time away from the spotlight. â€œI donâ€™t long for [fame]. Nor do I long for power,â€ Bush told The Huffington Post at his annual Warrior 100Kâ€¦

It gets tiresome pointing stuff like this out, but it can't be helped since one of the greatest legacies of the Obama administration is the normalization of liberty and Constitution bashing behavior which caused progressives to take to the streets when the George W. Bush administration was doing it. The most recent example is the president's appointment of John Comey as Director of the FBI. This is the same John Comey who, as Bush's Deputy Attorney General, authorized the patently illegal NSA warrantless wiretapping program.

Later today I will be premiering my latest film, "Saved" which chronicles how earlier today God entered my life and touched my heart (George W. Bush claimed a similar experience- when asked who his favorite philosopher at an early 2000 Republican presidential debate Bush exclaimed "Christ!" At first I thought he had said "Christ" because he was having difficulty with the question but as it turned out Jesus Christ was apparently (at least prior to 9-11) his fave philosopher. When the stunned moderator asked him why, Bush sincerely replied,"Because he changed my heart." Well earlier today God touched MY heart and luckily I had a camera to chronicle this whole truly fascinating and miraculous experience.

Washington, D.C., September 27, 2006 - In a series of recent public statements, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has again denied that the Clinton administration presented the incoming administration of President George W. Bush with a "comprehensive strategy" against al-Qaeda. Rice's denials were prompted by a September 22 Fox News interview with Bill Clinton in which the former president asserted that he had "left a comprehensive anti-terror strategy" with the incoming Bush administration in January 2001. In a September 25 interview, Rice told the New York Post, "We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al-Qaida," adding that, "Nobody organized this country or the international community to fight the terrorist threat that was upon us until 9/11." She lied of course.They were warned about Bin Laden.They ignored.

THE "CHRISLAM" MOVEMENT in the APOSTATE CHURCH -by Bill Wilson. During the weekend of November 13, many Christian churches across the United States began a series of sermons aimed at bringing about reconciliation between Muslims and Christians. These misguided Presbyterian ministers are trying to focus on a relationship between the Holy Bible and the Koran they call â€œChrislam.â€ They are saying that because the Koran mentions Jesus that there is common ground with Christianity. To prove their point, they are placing Korans along side the Holy Bible in their pews. And they are teaching that you can be a follower of Christ without necessarily believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, who died for our sins offering the gift of eternal salvation. Writes commentator Paul Williams: â€œThe Chrislam movement has gained impetus by statements from President George W. Bush and that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God and by Rick Warrenâ€™s reference to Isa (the Muslim name for Jesus) ...

:George W. Bush does indeed have some way to go to rehabilitate his image. A poll last year found that he is the most unpopular living president with 54 per cent saying they had an unfavorable view of him. Some 43 per cent did like him, but this was low compared to the two thirds who said they still liked former President Bill Clinton.

When Einstein died and arrived at the gates of heaven, St. Peter wouldn't let him in until he proved his identity. Einstein scribbled out a couple of his equations, and was admitted into paradise. And when Picasso died, St. Peter asked, "How do I know you're Picasso?" Picasso sketched out a couple of his masterpieces. St. Peter was convinced and let him in. When George W. Bush died, he went to heaven and met the man at the gates. "How can you prove to me you're George W. Bush?" Saint Peter said. Bush replied, "Well heck, I dont know." St. Peter says, "Well, Albert Einstein showed me his equations and Picasso drew his famous pictures. What can you do to prove you're George W. Bush?" Bush replies, "Who are Albert Einstein and Picasso?" St. Peter says, "It must be you, George, c'mon on in.

Friday, May 31, 2013 George W. Bush Skeptical of Senate's Immigration Bill by Matthew Boyle Former President George W. Bush questioned the political motives of lawmakers behind the immigration bill making its way through the U.S. Senate during an interview with the Huffington Postâ€™s Jon Ward this week. Bush suggested that some in Congress pushing the legislation may be more concerned with winning votes than truly resolving the nation's immigration woes. Ward described the former Presidentâ€™s mindset as a â€œdesire not to criticize the GOPâ€ but offering a â€œwarning about the party's mad dash for immigration reform.â€ â€œI think the atmosphere, unlike when I tried it, is better, maybe for the wrong reason,â€ Bush told Ward. â€œThe right reason is it's important to reform a broken system. I'm not sure a right reason is that in so doing we win votes. "I mean when you do the right thing, I think you win votes, as opposed to doing something that's the right thing to win votes. Maybe there's no differenc ...

Picked this up off the Independent Journal Review web site. Just sayin'. Think about it honestly, take off your partisan hat for a minute and think about it honestly. There are lot's of voices on the left in America that are beginning to have the guts to speak up and do the right thing regarding the current Administration. Corruption and scandal to this degree is indefensible and should not be tolerated by either party in any Administration. Blind allegiance to ideological overlords serves no good purpose. "What if... Richard Nixon didn't just have an enemies list but a personal â€œkill listâ€ and claimed the right to kill Americans without trial, even though he promised not to do so? What if...

President Barack Obama plans to nominate James Comey to replace Robert Mueller as FBI director, officials familiar with the nomination process said. Comey is a former prosecutor who served as a Deputy Attorney General in President George W. Bush's administration.

Notice that former President George W. Bush is making a Satanic salute . . . . . . The New World Order is here. A Police State is forming right before our eyes. Communism has overtaken America. The federal government now controls the housing, automotive, banking, educational, energy, farming and heath industries. This is enslavement and can only turn America into a third-world nation. The good times are coming to an end. Faith in God is the only foundation upon which a truly free nation can be built; for without God a person has no moral benchmark, no higher Authority and no Word of God to light their path. The American people are walking in total darkness.

Democrats have demographic problems, too. Here's proof: George W. Bush won more than 80% of the vote in just 80 precincts in 2000, while Al Gore garnered more than 80% in nearly 800 precincts. Why does that matter? It demonstrates Democratic voters are packed tightly in urban cores, and only the most creative and crafty gerrymandering could spread them more evenly between Congressional districts

Scandal the TV Show is REAL. June 1, 2006 -- Rocky shoals for Bush marriage? Informed sources Inside the Beltway report that First Lady Laura Bush has established temporary residence in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC as a result of a tiff with President Bush over an extramarital relationship involving her husband. Mr. Bush's tryst is said to involve Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. It is not known how long Mrs. Bush plans to remain at the Mayflower, however, her security detail has been present at the hotel during hours when the First Lady would normally be residing in the White House. While she was National Security Adviser, Rice, who has never been married, referred to George W. Bush as "my husband" before she corrected herself and said, "President. Bush" Rice was speaking at a dinner hosted by New York Times bureau chief Philip Taubman when she made her "husband" remarks. So if this must is TRU then what else is
