This gentleman makes a lot of sense and the congress man was left to try and do his rope a dope!! (that is a liberal campaign slogan for fool the people) The only thing that I wish the soldier would have pointed out to the congress man was when talking about our wars in the Middle East... the congress man says that congress was lied to about weapons of mass destruction??? Much of the information that was put before congress was taken directly from the Clinton administration files. In the 1994 indictment of Osama bin laden the Clinton administration devoted 94 pages in their indictment detailing weapons of mass destruction and establishing the link between Osama and Saddam ... 94 pages!!! I remember Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and every other person in the Clinton administration coming on tv and telling us just how evil this regime was!!! We found no weapons of mass destruction, well from the time that the UN failed and that President Bush go involved took seven months to move our men and equip ...

![]() Today CCR's legal team met with our client, Fahd Ghazy, and celebrated his 29th birthday in a cell in Camp Echo. Fahd was sent to Guantánamo as a juvenile at age 17, and has spent more than one third of his life in the prison. Fahd, who has never been charged with a crime and was cleared under President Bush in 2007, is now on his third month of a hunger strike. Fahd has said, “All I hope for upon release is to meet my wife and daughter, my mother and brothers, and to live an independent life with them. To complete my studies and get a decent job.” Fahd's daughter, Hafsa, will celebrate her 12th birthday later this Spring. Like Fahd, the vast majority of the remaining 166 men are still trapped without any charge after 11 years. CONTACT The White House and tell Barack Obama that he should release Fahd back home to Yemen to his daughter, wife, and family.

One of these alarms was of a reported threat against Air Force One itself, a threat eventually run down to a misunderstood com munication in the hectic White House Situation Room that morning.1 While the plan at the elementary school had been to return to Washington, by the time Air Force One was airborne at 9:55 A.M. the Secret Service, the President’s advisers,and Vice President Cheney were strongly advising against it. President Bush reluctantly acceded to this advice and, at about 10:10, Air Force One changed course and began heading due west.The immediate objec tive was to find a safe location—not too far away—where the President could land and speak to the American people.The Secret Service was also interested ...

It is taking actions just about every week that raise constitutional questions and that THREATEN TO UNDERMINE AMERICA’S FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT. I find it intriguing that CBS broadcast this commentary right at the beginning of the second term of the most radically liberal president the United States has ever seen. This administration is very hostile to the Constitution, and the media agree. Can you imagine the media urging President Bush to bypass the Constitution to complete his agenda? Last September, a panel of experts presented a list to the House Judiciary Committee of how President Obama is exceeding his constitutional constraints.

![]() "When Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle, that conglomerate manufactured aspartame. For 16 years the FDA refused to approve it, not only because it’s not safe but because they wanted the company indicted for fraud.

![]() Attempts to privatize federal land were made by the Reagan administration in the 1980s and the Republican-controlled Congressin the 1990s. In 2006, President Bush proposed auctioning off 300,000 acres of national forest in 41 states. The assault on our common areas continues with even greater ferocity today, as the euphemistic Path to Prosperity has proposed to sell millions of acres of "unneeded federal land," and libertarian groups like the Cato Institute demand that our property be "allocated to the highest-value use." Mitt Romney admitted that he didn't know "what the purpose is" of public lands. Examples of the takeaway are shocking. Peabody Coal is strip-mining public lands in Wyoming and Montana and making a 10,000% profit on the meager amounts they pay for the privilege. Sealaska is snatching up timberland in Alaska.

During an attack in the Pacific campaign, his small carrier torpedo bomber was shot down by the Japanese, and his two fellow crewmen were killed. He was rescued and continued to fly missions, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
![]() So River's handsome little head, from an early age, has been full of global concerns and the need to save water when you flush. This is fine, except when you're a Hollywood star at the same time and writers jet in to ask you what you think of God, Harrison Ford, Rob Reiner, Sidney Lumet, President Bush, and all those other grown-ups. And you've been brought up to think for yourself, hold your own in conversation, stick up your chin and talk. So they take it all down as if it were gospel and you end up sounding like a real dweeb. River groans again at the thought of his early interviews. "Oh, oh, I just find them misleading. I don't recognize myself... I sound kind of like... bright boy, teenage messiah, health fanatic... uh. Save the World... hippy-dippy background... the whole collage reads false. It's the terms that are wrong. I mean... Save the World."
![]() The following homily was preached by The Rev. Canon John Osgood, Canon to the Ordinary at Fr. Joe's Installation Mass at St. John's Church: In the Name of God, Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier. Amen. One of the most amusing moments in the presidency of George Bush, Sr, took place when he was visiting a nursing home, for one of those photo-ops that presidents have to endure. It seems that while he was walking down the hallway in front of an entourage of secret service agents, staff, press, and nursing home officials he paused at the wheelchair of one of the residents who was sitting there watching this parade of people come towards him. President Bush leaned over and said to the man, "Do you know who I am?" to which the man looked up and replied, "No, but if you ask one of the nurses at the desk, THEY can tell you!" Well, today we carefully focus on our identity, on who we are. We need to know who we are or we won't know what to do. We see this in someone who has amnesia - not knowing their identity means ...

I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter. Because the pipeline crosses the U.S.-Canada border, TransCanada was required to apply for a permit from the U.S. Department of State, which began a thorough and rigorous review of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project in 2008. The procedure for this review is guided by Executive Order 13337, signed by President Bush on April 30, 2004. Due to the magnitude of the project and proposed route adjustments, the State Department announced in November 2011 that it could not make a determination regarding the permit application without additional information.

![]() It is amazing how many people that I talk to and have talked to in the past who have never heard of Zbigniew Brzezinski. I mean people with college degrees, Masters degrees. It's funny that a man with such power and influence rarely gives interviews, and you never see him on CNN or Fox News. The first time that I ever heard of Zbigniew Brzezinski was at the Nation of Islam conference in 2002, when I heard Min. Louis Farrakhan speaking of him. Ever since that time I began studying and researching him. He has been the power behind every President since the Carter adminstration. Most colleges and universities won't teach about him, and you can forget about learning about him in any public schools. At the end of the day, President Obama is the puppet of Zbigniew Brzezinski, so was President Bush and President Clinton.

That means, for example, the $825 billion stimulus bill, proposed, lobbied for, signed and spent by Obama, goes in ... Bush's column. (And if we attribute all of Bush's spending for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and No Child Left Behind to William Howard Taft, Bush didn't spend much either.)

Feb. 25, 2013) (Justice Alito) In the wake of 9/11, the three branches of our Federal Government - the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial - have alternately combined to authorize and approve secret but massive surveillance of U.S. citizens as one of the Government's principal strategies in its War on Terrorism. In that vein, in 2001, then-President Bush surreptitiously authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to launch a warrantless wiretapping program of international phone calls and emails - even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) generally prohibited the government from conducting electronic surveillance without first obtaining an individualized order from the FISA court. When word of the NSA program leaked out, a pliant Congress quickly enacted the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA), which added a new Section 702 to FISA (50 U.S.C. § 1881a)), and which gave the NSA unprecedented and vi ...

But however one reads the ballots, Bush's win would certainly have been jeopardized had not some Floridians been barred from casting ballots at all. Between May 1999 and Election Day 2000, two Florida secretaries of state--Sandra Mortham and Katherine Harris, both protegees of Governor Jeb Bush--ordered 57,700 "exfelons," who are prohibited from voting by state law, to be removed from voter rolls.

The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.

I always wanted to be able to vote for the first president that was not a white male, but I refuse to vote somebody in for the color of their skin, The Great Martin Luther King said it should be for "the character of their heart", Obama is not an American, he is not a christian, Obama alone is trying to ruin this nation on purpose, all by himself!!Why would you blame Bush for Obama's short comings, that doesnt make since? I am glad he can never be president after this term. He has not accomplished one positive thing in his Presidency, not ONE thing!!!

![]() Hugo Chavez: The man who stood up against savage Western Capitalism and Iluminati satanism and destructive spread of homosexuality. Speaking one day after Bush addressed the same session of the General Assembly, Chávez announced, "The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of." At that point, Chávez made the sign of the cross, positioned his hands as if praying, and looked briefly upwards as if invocation of God. He continued "Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world." Chávez also said that President Bush "...came [to the General Assembly] to share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world."

Having risen to power by a "coup d'État", indeed he was a dictator. Don't be offended I'd support such a man, the CIA is champion in installing dictators while removing non-allied democratic governments (ex: Zaire, Iran, Chile... Get it?). Policies of political & economic independence for Venezuela made him a pariah for America. He dared in 2006 @ the United Nations, refer to U.S. President Bush as the devil due to his hard politics of wars and lies. Yet he was no enemy of the American people. Despite confrontational politics, he sold oil to "ogre" America, but also would freely supply poor f ...

![]() n 2001 when 9/11 happened, the world was in shock and the people did not know how to react, much less suspect it had been orchestrated by the CIA. And when the Iraq war happened, everyone trusted President Bush enough to go into Iraq to get those WMDs that were never found. Yet the whole time, no one had been prepared for the huge psychological warfare operations the Bush Administration was putting in place. Yes, a lot of people called George Bush a fascist, but not much else could be heard. No one mentioned that his grandfather had helped fund Hitler (1), or that his father was still being regularly briefed about new CIA operations and old. And if there was it was marginalized and acclaimed as conspiracy theories, by even George Bush himself. Then, somehow the Patriot act came out from nowhere, as if it had been writ overnight, and in came the Department of Homeland Security (a modern version of Gestapo) as well as Guantanamo (which was even more curious seeing as how we hadn’t trusted the Cubans in ov ...

![]() A Timeline of Operation Desert Storm: On January 16, 1991, Operation Desert Storm began. The conflict, as know as the Gulf War, was waged by a U.N.-authorized coalition force from 34 nations led by the United States, in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. On February 28, 1991, President Bush declared suspension of offensive combat and laid out conditions for permanent cease-fire. Check out the timeline below for a snapshot of events that took place during this time: Day 1: Wednesday, Jan. 16 Desert Storm begins at 7 p.m. EST (3 a.m. Jan. 17 in Iraq) with massive air and missile attacks on targets in Iraq, Kuwait.

![]() The Power to Assassinate a Compliant and Submissive People. President Obama’s nomination of John Brennan is being held up over Brennan’s refusal to state whether the president’s power to assassinate Americans (and others) extends to American soil. The fact that Brennan could not bring himself to immediately say that the president doesn’t have the power to assassinate Americans (and others) right here within the United States is revealing. He undoubtedly knows that the president does claim to wield such power and that the president just doesn’t want to alarm Americans by informing them that he now wields the power to assassinate anyone he wants, including Americans here in the United States. I can’t see how there’s any room for doubt here. Ever since President Bush claimed extraordinary powers after the 9/11 attacks, some have been pointing out that the powers were not limited to foreigners or to foreign lands. When U.S. forces, both military and CIA, were kidnapping people, torturing them, a ...
![]() Doctors kill more people per year than guns By Nathan Tabor Back before the November election, many mainstream media pundits — trying desperately to get John Kerry elected —began to harp on President Bush's unwillingness to stop certain federal Gun Control laws from expiring as scheduled. But their propaganda efforts came to naught because this issue was a non-starter with the American people. The fact is, in this day of post-911 increased security consciousness, most average Americans simply don't want more Gun Control. They want more guns on hand to defend themselves and their loved ones in the face of possible life-threatening danger. Soccer moms are now taking handgun proficiency courses down at the local firing range. Liberals are always complaining about getting to the root of the problem —unless it deals with gun rights. Then they abandon all logical analysis and resort to hysteria, distortion and downright lies. Today I want to set the record straight and dispel a few of the more common myth ...

![]() Texas Representative Chris Turner (D-Arlington) has introduced HB 2007. It says that presidential electors in Texas will be chosen according to the proportion of popular votes that each presidential candidate receives in Texas. For example, if his bill had been law in 1992, Ross Perot would have received 7 electoral votes, George H. W. Bush would have received 13, and Bill Clinton would have received 12. Actually, of course, President Bush received all 32 electoral votes. The surprise in HB 2007 is that it only takes effect if at least one other state has the same method for choosing electors. Representative Turner obviously introduced this bill because he knows that there is some chance that the Republican majority in the Pennsylvania legislature may pass a similar bill. Of course, it is extremely unlikely that the Republican majority in the Texas legislature will ever pass HB 2007. Thanks to Jim Riley for news of HB 2007.

He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,", Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value.

A decade later, we know far more about the case the Bush administration made to the world to justify its war of choice to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Books like Hubris by David Corn and Michael Isikoff, and British commission and US Senate reports have catalogued the extent to which intelligence was misused to mislead the public. Yet, even as the intervening period has brought profound change for the United States and its role in the world, have we learned the lessons of that disastrous period? And what were those lessons? For nearly a year prior to the invasion, President Bush and his administration peppered the airwaves with serious accusations against Saddam Hussein, including claims of aluminum tubes that could be used in centrifuges to enrich uranium, and of Iraqi efforts to purchase uranium yellowcake from Africa.

They laughed and mocked the pastor for a statement made nearly 50 years ago. Then he said that George Bush wanted to change the Constitution to ban *** Marriage" and said the Bush thought the Consitituion was not complete. Again, they laughed and mocked former President Bush for something he did 10years ago. Not one time did he mention that Obama is trying to use Executive Orders to circumvent the Coinstituion or that the current administration is trying to take constitutional rights away from American citizens.

Considering as little as two years ago there was not a Republican to be found that would sign on to this I think maybe the Repubs are getting a little anxious for votes.

May 23, 2006 | Just before Christmas last, President Bush and Senator John McCain appeared in the Oval Office to announce an historic ban on torture by any U.S. agency, anywhere in the world. Looking straight into the cameras, the president declared with a steely gaze that this landmark legislation would make it "clear to the world that this government does not torture." This meeting was the culmination of a tangled legislative battle that had started six months before when Senator John McCain introduced an amendment to the must-pass Defense Appropriation Bill, calling for an absolute ban on "cruel, inhumane and degrading" treatment. The White House fought back hard, sending Vice President Cheney to Capitol Hill for a wrecking effort so sustained, so determined that a Washington Post editorial branded him "The Vice President for Torture."

Standing in the bleachers by the airstrip, I saw Bush 43 greet the Holy Father on the tarmac and stride proudly beside him toward a secure area, his chest bursting from his shirt. At that moment, it looked like the president was ready to convert to Catholicism. There were memorable Masses in Nationals Stadium in Washington, D.C., and Yankee Stadium in Bronx, N.Y.

![]() What the Russians did in Afghanistan And What We Can Learn From It. President Obama intends to "wind down" the Afghan war over the next years and to leave only a training mission there. He inherited from President Bush and has continued, even enlarged, the American expenditures -- thousands of casualties, hundreds of thousands of wounded and a trillion dollars. The experience has been, or should have been, as Kipling wrote of another war, "no end of a lesson." Yet, I wonder, has it really been a lesson, and have we heeded it? Might we do the same things again? As I have ruminated for years over these questions, which may be nearly vital for our country and our beliefs, I have reached the conclusion that we do not see or understand the similarities of events; rather we think of each venture as unique. What happened in Vietnam has no relevance to what happened in Iraq. After all, the two countries are far apart, speak different languages and...well you know the rest. Fortunately, most of the curren ...

They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they boarded an open 17th century coach hitched to six magnificent white horses. As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking to their side and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was going well. This was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and dignity. Suddenly the scene was shattered when the right rear horse let rip the most horrendous, earth-shattering, eye-smarting blast of flatulence, and the coach immediately filled with noxious fumes. Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two dignitaries did their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decided that was a ridiculous manner with which to handle a most embarrassing situation.

This is why President Bush could not order Federal Troops into Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina WITHOUT THE EXPRESS REQUEST OF THOSE STATES GOVERNERS. I understand that dangerous criminals should not have firearms, but we do already have very strict laws regarding this issue.but when the law was passed in 1963 banning convicted felons from owning or possessing a firearm, they violated the Constitutional Rights of those people as well, thereby committing treason in its own right. That is why the 2nd ammendment was put into place to begin with. to give EVERYONE AN EQUAL RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEIR HOME AND LOVED ONES!
![]() OK, when the DixieChicks used the word "ashamed" to describe how they felt about being from the same state as President Bush, there was a tremendous outpouring of vitriol from conservatives (many of whom were fans of theirs). Now R.Limbaugh has upped the ante, and said he is ashamed of America (not ashamed to be from America, but actually ashamed of America). I am looking forward to seeing how his former followers turn their back on this, even MORE unpatriotic statement. Any bets? Personally, I'm still waiting for him to live up to his promise that he would leave the country if the Health Care reform act passed Congress and the SCOTUS. It's not like he couldn't take all his money to an island country (like more and more wealthy people are doing), and use the internet to run his business from there. Love it or leave it big mouth.

![]() It used to be gold from South America and ,, Conquistador's ,,now its us.. the line crossed west from Iraq through Jordan to British-ruled Palestine (today's Israel). Upon the 1948 birth of Israel and the immediate eruption of war with Iraq, Jordan and other Arab neighbors forced its shutdown and the diversion of Iraqi oil through a branch line to Syria. Arabs reacted with predictable fury to Mr. Paritzky's suggestion that the oil of a post- Hussein Iraq could flow to the Jewish state, to be consumed or marketed from there. Jordan's information minister instantly declared the story about Israel-Jordan meetings "devoid of truth," because Jordan's "relations with Israel are now very cold." Despite the wishful thinking among President Bush's neoconservative and pro-Israel advisers, a post-Hussein Iraq is unlikely voluntarily to warm to Mr. Sharon's government. Since 1948, Israel and Iraq have been implacable foes. Unlike Egypt, Jordan, or Syria, Iraq has never been willing even to discuss an armistice with I ...

![]() Our M.I.A. Surgeon General By MARK BITTMAN When CBS airs its newly commissioned pilot “The Surgeon General,” Dr. John Sherman — “the most powerful doctor in the nation” — will become the best-known (albeit fictional) surgeon general since C. Everett Koop. No one I asked (including a member of Congress) could name the current one. She’s Regina Benjamin — and no, I didn’t know, either. In theory, the surgeon general is the nation’s doctor, an independent practitioner whose major concern is our health. In reality, the position has been eviscerated, and you need not take my word for that. Six years ago, three former surgeons general — Richard Carmona (who served under the second President Bush), David Satcher (who spanned the Clinton-Bush years), and Koop (who was appointed by Ronald Reagan) — appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and declared, in Carmona’s words, that the scientific information that they wanted to bring to the American people was being ...

He states, "So what we have is an administration that reduces pressure on criminals using guns while placing more burdens on law-abiding citizens and their constitutional rights to keep and bear arms." I tell you people, this is on purpose! This so called elected president is moving to bring the country down and make us all like sheep that we can be dominated and not be able to do anything about it. Remember, the right to bear arms is so we can rise up against an oppressive government, not so we can hunt deer. This guy has got to go.

![]() New York Times Articles Opinion A War Crime Or an Act of War? By Stephen C. Pelletiere Published: January 31, 2003 It was no surprise that President Bush, lacking smoking-gun evidence of Iraq's weapons programs, used his State of the Union address to re-emphasize the moral case for an invasion: ''The dictator who is assembling the world's most dangerous weapons has already used them on whole villages, leaving thousands of his own citizens dead, blind or disfigured.'' The accusation that Iraq has used chemical weapons against its citizens is a familiar part of the debate. The piece of hard evidence most frequently brought up concerns the gassing of Iraqi Kurds at the town of Halabja in March 1988, near the end of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war. President Bush himself has cited Iraq's ''gassing its own people,'' specifically at Halabja, as a reason to topple Saddam Hussein. But the truth is, all we know for certain is that Kurds were bombarded with poison gas that day at Halabja. We cannot say with any certai ...

At the end of the special Matt Lauer is interviewing President Bush, and he asks if the President ever thought of apologizing to the American people. The Presidents answer was so sad. He said NO, because tha would be admitting that they were wrong for invading. So in other words the end justified the means.

"The U.S. labor market, which peaked in 2007 when there were 139,143,000 jobs, now encompasses only 132,705,000 workers, a drop of 6.4 million jobs from the peak." In 2007 our President was George W Bush. During his tenure the average unemployment rate was under 6%. Why the Republicans allow the press and the Democrats to assert they were eight years of failure is absurd. The financial crisis is not the sole blame of Wall St. Democrats led by Andrew Cuomo at HUD, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in Congress created and mandated the banks to issue sub-prime loans.

Boundaries have been in place by means of social networks and cultural identities that come from the borders of countries. The most serious political problem the world faces is immigration due to the disregard of international boundaries and we should resolve it by creating serious border control bills in order to gain control of national borders. Globalization is a new theme which has led to recent political problems among nations. Globalization would make national boundaries something of the past. The current confusion in the middle-east is partly due to confusion of nation states. President Bush made the decision to invade another nation state in order to defeat al-Qaeda.

![]() I just finished reading “NO EASY DAY, the autobiography of a Navy Seal:” The firsthand account of the mission that killed Osama Bin Laden. I couldn’t put the book down until I had read every page. For an inside glimpse of what was accomplished by America’s finest intelligence gathering personnel and special operational warriors, this book is a real-life thriller. I also watched the film “Zero Dark Thirty.” I hardly blinked as the screen adaptation told the story of how the enhanced interrogation methods under President Bush coupled with the gutsy call of President Obama brought to justice the most evil murdering terrorist in recent history. Osama Bin Laden died a cowardly death. I never doubted he would. He sent others to die for the cause but he withered in disgraceful fear when his time came. monte burke

![]() MORE EVIDENCE FOR THE CONTROL OF THE UNITED CHRISTIAN STATES OF AMERICA BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ITS JESUITS: A Catholic Wind in the White House By Daniel Burke Sunday, April 13, 2008 Shortly after Pope Benedict XVI's election in 2005, President Bush met with a small circle of advisers in the Oval Office. As some mentioned their own religious backgrounds, the president remarked that he had read one of the new pontiff's books about faith and culture in Western Europe. Save for one other soul, Bush was the only non-Catholic in the room. But his interest in the pope's writings was no surprise to those around him. As the White House prepares to welcome Benedict on Tuesday, many in Bush's inner circle expect the pontiff to find a kindred spirit in the president. Because if Bill Clinton can be called America's first black president, some say, then George W. Bush could well be the nation's first Catholic president. This isn't as strange a notion as it sounds. Yes, there was John F. Kennedy. But where Ken ...
![]() Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday that Republican opposition to defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel can be traced back to the former Republican senator's attacks on George W. Bush over the Iraq War. "To be honest with you, Neil, it goes back to-- there's a lot of ill will towards Senator Hagel because when he was a Republican, he attacked President Bush mercilessly, at one point said he was the worst president since Herbert Hoover, said the surge was the worst blunder since the Vietnam War, which is nonsense, and was anti his own party and people," McCain said. "People don't forget that," McCain continued. "You can disagree, but if you're disagreeable, people don't forget that." Heck, that suits me. I think we should just nominate and elect a democrat anyway.
![]() A ThinkProgress analysis finds that at least 67 Republicans who are still in Congress today backed an increase in the minimum wage in some form, including Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). Political momentum for an increase began in 2004, after President Bush announced his support for a bill by now-Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). After Democrats won majorities of the House and Senate in the 2006 elections, a minimum wage increase became one of their first priorities. The Fair Minimum Wage Act — which also included tax cuts for small businesses — passed the House and Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. When the increase was folded into a larger appropriations bill, it again passed with strong bipartisan support and was eventually signed into law by Bush. 26 House Republicans even signed a letter to then-House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), asking for a vote on a minimum wage increase, including current Representatives Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Peter K ...

![]() I don't agree with this guy, but this is a really REALLY important conversation to have. Are we at war or are we not? This is hugely important. Was the Congressional authorization for use of force the necessary equivalent of a declaration of war? No, it was not necessary, and no, it was not the functional equivalent of a declaration of war. The executive (at that time, President Bush) does not need the permission of Congress to pursue organized crime by non-state actors across national borders. See Thomas Jefferson's action against the Barbary Pirates immortalized in the Marine Corps Hymn, "to the shores of Tripoli." Congress has the authority to forbid the executive from taking action that involves crossing sovereign borders. See the statutes President Reagan violated in the Iran-Contra scandal. I say "war on terror" is a rhetorical excess like "war on poverty" or "war on drugs." It denotes a level of commitment to a goal, not a legal state of war. It makes all the difference in the world what laws a ...

"If what I say is right, the whole U.S. government should end up behind bars." --Andreas von Bulow To most Americans, the first inkling that something was wrong with the official story of the 9/11 catastrophe occurred about a year after the event, when President Bush resisted setting up a panel to investigate the events of that dark day. Why would he not want to investigate the greatest crime in American history? many wondered. Then, he badly underfunded it. Then, he tried to name infamous power broker Henry Kissinger to head it. Since then, Bush has stonewalled a committee of his own choosing, one stacked with political functionaries that is ill-equipped to conduct either a police or forensic investigation " and, perhaps most revealing, one that accepted the government's version of who the guilty parties were before they examined any evidence!

![]() Here's an article from Forbes . In sharp contrast to Reagan, Obama’s first major legislative initiative was the so-called stimulus, which increased future federal spending by nearly a trillion dollars, the most expensive legislation in history up till that point. We know now, as thinking people knew at the time, that this record shattering spending bill only stimulated government spending, deficits and debt. Contrary to official Democrat Keynesian witchcraft, you don’t promote economic recovery, growth and prosperity by borrowing a trillion dollars out of the economy to spend a trillion dollars back into it. But this was just a warm up for Obama’s Swedish socialism. Obama worked with Pelosi’s Democratic Congress to pass an additional, $410 billion, supplemental spending bill for fiscal year 2009, which was too much even for big spending President Bush, who had specifically rejected it in 2008. Next in 2009 came a $40 billion expansion in the SCHIP entitlement program, as if we didn’t already hav ...

I was assigned to Task Force Wolfpack, an OH-58D unit that was deploying in support of the 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment spearheading the 82nd’s assault into Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Much of the liberal media still claims that President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to get authorization to deploy the troops. What they fail to point out are the facts that Hussein actually used chemical weapons against his own people, he would not let the UN inspectors do their jobs that had been mandated after the Persian Gulf War, and there were known Al Qaida cells operating freely in Iraq. Do you seriously believe that during twelve years of malicious activities, he would not be able to hide WMDs or give them to another country to hold them for him?

![]() know what happened when a man (sagam) threaten the life of a president???...President Bush became infamous for saying these words to a camera. There appear to be many references on the Internet to the time when Bush (intentionally publicly, in a speech) said a very similar thing (without the word 'but') around September 26, 2002, roughly a year AFTER the attacks of 9/11/01. No great significance in saying that AFTER Iraq had been invaded! But there seem to be NO references or videotapes of an incident that I happened to personally see MORE THAN A YEAR EARLIER, and well BEFORE the attacks of 9/11. Until recently (2007) I was starting to wonder if I (and two friends, who also saw it) had somehow imagined the whole thing, because it seems so obvious that such a statement BEFORE 9/11 seems to imply that Bush clearly had a "personal grudge" and therefore a "personal motivation" for WANTING to attack Iraq, as though he already was then simply HOPING for some excuse for invading Iraq! But in 2007, someone sent i ...
![]() SOROS'S "SHADOW PARTY" TAKES SHAPE While Soros's 527s were clearly devoted to Democratic Party agendas and values, they publicly professed to be independent of any party affiliations. Their partisanship was somewhat shrouded in proverbial shadows. Gradually, a number of journalists began to make reference to the emergence of certain pro-Democrat “shadow organizations” that seemed geared toward circumventing McCain-Feingold's soft-money ban. In time, the term “Shadow Party” came into use.237 George Soros set in motion the wheels of this Shadow Party when he gathered a team of political strategists, activists, and Democrat donors at his Long Island beach house on July 17, 2003, to discuss how President Bush could be defeated in the 2004 election. Attendees included such luminaries as OSI director Morton Halperin; former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta; former Clinton speechwriters Jeremy Rosner and Robert Boorstin; Sierra Club executive director Carl Pope; labor leader and former Clinton advisor ...
![]() Barack Obama has a habit of identifying a supposed crisis in collective morality, damning the straw men “them” who engage in such ethical lapses, soaring with rhetorical bromides — and then, to national quiet, doing more or less the exact things he once swore were ruining the country. Washington will always be a city of hypocrisies, as one would expect when astronomical amounts of money and political power collide. What is striking about the recent disclosures about Obama’s tenure is not that his embarrassments are all that different from embarrassments of other administrations, but that they are at odds entirely with almost everything Obama has professed. And that realization is starting to damage his presidency as much as its actual shortcomings. Take the recent drone memo and the context in which it was leaked. When Harold Koh was dean of the Yale Law School, he used to berate the Bush administration for its supposedly criminal anti-terrorism policy. He went so far as to call President Bush “ ...
![]() George W. Obama says "President Bush authorized about 50 non-battlefield drone strikes. President Obama, who has more drones to fight with, has launched more than five times as many drone strikes, all in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The count at year-end from both was 411 strikes and 3,430 dead, according to Zenko’s new paper, “Reforming U.S. Drone Strike Policies.” When Bush was president, a political movement arose to protest this sort of thing. It was the anti-war movement. When Obama was elected, the movement went away. War didn’t; the movement did. Is killing different when a Democrat does it? Killing may be justified if your enemy is trying to kill you or people you are sworn to protect. And drones offer precision killing. They can hover over a target for hours and strike when the target pops in view, with no hesitation. A means of risk-free killing — risk free “to us,” says Zenko — is useful to have. The convenience appeals to people in power. Civilians particularly like the cleanli ...

![]() For those of you who do not know this man pictured here receiving the medal of freedom from President Bush, he is Dr. Benjamin Carson. The medal of freedom is the highest award a civilian can achieve in the USA. This man's life is so amazing they made a movie about it. If you have not seen his amazing speech in front of Obama recently at the national prayer breakfast, here is the 27 minute video of him attacking Obama's policies (In front of the Obama's): will be blown away as we all were here. He came from poverty and nothing to be the top rated pediatric neurosurgeon in the world. He spoke about his strong faith in God, personal responsibility, the out of control debt, how taxes should be lower and his love for this country and so much more. He also talked about healing this country from all sides and he ended with a very moving tribute to Francis Scott Key and the Star Spangled Banner. The expression (or lack thereof) Obama made during the entire speech says it all. If this isn't just the man this coun ...

![]() By Glenn Thompson U.S. headed for economic decline One of the many buzz words for 2012 without a doubt was “fiscal cliff,” a phrase used to describe the expiration of various tax provisions, namely the Bush-era tax rates, and indiscriminate budgets cuts commonly known as “sequestration.” Most economic experts warned that allowing the combination of both to take effect would wreak havoc on the nation’s fragile economy. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, failing to extend the current tax structure alone would have reduced national employment by upwards of 3.4 million jobs. For this reason, on Jan. 1, I voted to support H.R. 8, the “Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act of 2012,” which averted immediate sequestration and achieved permanent tax relief for 99 percent of Americans, by extending the lower tax rates enacted in 2001 and 2003, under President Bush and extended again under the Obama Administration in 2010. Some individuals, Republicans and Democrats, take ...
![]() FindLaw Forum: President needs congressional approval to declare war on Iraq By John Dean FindLaw Columnist Special to CNN.com August 30, 2002 Posted: 12:12 p.m. EDT (1612 GMT) FINDLAW Legal commentary from FindLaw's Writ Web Guide Consumer Center Law Dictionary FINDLAW Column Archive (FindLaw) -- Republicans are debating among themselves whether President Bush should go to war against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Is a unilateral pre-emptive strike called for to prevent Hussein from getting nuclear weapons? Would such an attack destabilize the region and send oil prices soaring? Do we need -- or want -- allies involved? Members of Congress, however, have raised the more fundamental question of whether the President can launch a war against Iraq without Congressional approval. According to reports out of Crawford, Texas, President Bush thinks he can. He believes the authorization Congress provided his father in 1991 for Operation Desert Storm is still good. Nonetheless, The New York Times reports that t ...

![]() A new study from the widely respected National Bureau of Economic Research released this week has confirmed beyond question that the left's race-baiting attacks on the housing market (the Community Reinvestment Act--enacted under Carter, made shockingly more aggressive under Clinton) is directly responsible for imploding the housing market and destroying the economy. The study painstakingly sorted through failed home loans that caused the housing market collapse and identified an overwhelming connection between them and CRA mortgages. Again, let's review: -President Bush went to Congress repeatedly for years warning them that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were going to destroy the economy (17 times in 2008 alone). Democrats continuously ignored him, shut down his proposals along party lines and continued raiding the institutions for campaign contributions on their way down. -John McCain also co-sponsored urgently critical reforms that would have prevented the housing market collapse, but Democrats shut that ...

Or both? There are areas where the Republican Party is going to try to change its policies (immigration) and others where it will not (Abortion, Debt and Deficits). The GOP is attempting to go back to the immigration reform agenda of President Bush and Senator McCain. One reason is clearly to try to appeal to Hispanic voters. Another is to have some type of bipartisan compromise they can point to. There are elements of the party who will object vociferously claiming it is "amnesty" and most of the press will dutifully report this as continuing/increasing signs a broken, dysfunctional party. I am equally convinced that Senator Reid and President Obama will do what they can to include elements (Litt ...

![]() From my friend and noted Guitar Man Stevie Gurr's page: "It was called The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. It was passed by a Republican led Congress and signed into law by President Bush. It required the Postal Service to prefund the health care of it's retirees for 75 years. It also required the agency to pay that amount off in five years. 5.5 billion dollars annually. It was a manufactured crisis to drive the Postal Service into the ground, destroy one of the largest unions and privatize the ability to have mailing services. This is the reason millions of people should march on Washington DC and evict certain politicians from public service. This is the reason you won't be using the mail on Saturday.

![]() Here is where my president, President Obama and I butt head. I'm still waiting for the first African American cabinet appointee. The Attorney General, Eric Holder, as influential as his position is, really runs an autonomous department. And the fact he is a left over from the Clinton and Bush eras. He was Deputy AG under Clinton and acting AG briefly under Bush. President Bush appointed 4 African Americans, President Clinton had 7 and even you you count the attorney general Eric Holder, that's only 1 so far for President Obama. What is Obama telling us, black folks? Are we not qualified to head departments, under his presidency, or is he more comfortable with white appointees. Are black folks being asked to join his cabinet, and they have refused? I'm just asking, because I am pretty miffed about this. I have waited 4 years and still I see nothing. Hopefully as the days go by, my fears will be allayed, as more cabinet positions are filled, we will see more African Americans in policy making position an .. ...
![]() On September 17, 2001, six days after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC, President Bush signed a directive authorizing the CIA to set up and run secret prisons outside the United States. Secret prisons are illegal. Every nation on earth must acknowledge its prisons, account for its prisoners, and allow those it is holding to communicate that they've been imprisoned. All prisoners must have some access to legal process. The International Committee of the Red Cross must be permitted to visit them and monitor the conditions of their imprisonment. Seizing someone and delivering him to a secret facility where he is held incommunicado and unacknowledged is "enforced disappearance," a gross human rights violation associated with infamous, brutal regimes. The laws against it are as absolute as those banning torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, and the two crimes are closely linked. Invisible prisoners are abused prisoners, as a rule. But it is more than that: the uncertainty and ...

![]() Immediately after the horrific attacks on America on September 11, 2001, President Bush and Congress went to work enacting laws they said would make us safer from such attacks in the future. That was not a shocking reaction — and their intentions were understandable. After all, even those of us who advocate the smallest government possible agree that the federal government has a fundamental and constitutional duty to defend us from harm. But when politicians decide to make us safer, they too often get it really wrong. It is the very nature of government to solve a problem by making itself bigger and more intrusive, and to increase its power at the expense of our freedom and, yes, the very same rights that our elected officials are sworn to protect. After 9/11, the president and Congress “protected” us with the Patriot Act, expansions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, an overreaching NDAA, and a host of other measures — both legislative and executive — that gave the federal government ...
![]() List Of Bush's Impeachable Offenses DigitalDivide.net 12-21-5 President Bush has admitted that he has authorized the use of surveillance upon American citizens and residents. He has argued that he has the authority to do so, that he has balanced the need to spy on us and our civil liberties. Unfortunately, his claims do not withstand scrutiny. Firstly, the spying upon Americans without probable cause, due process and a warrant supported by evidence and sworn before a competent magistrate violates the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 14th Amendments of the US Constitution. It is essential to the argument to understand that the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights does not create the rights of citizens, but places our government in the position of GUARANTEEING these inherent and INALIENABLE rights. Infringing upon these rights in any manner is unlawful, unconstitutional, immoral and evil. The 1st Amendment guarantees our right to associate and communicate unimpeded by state and federal government. Merely communicat ...
![]() TOPICS: GEORGE W. BUSH, EDITOR'S PICKS, AMERICAN HISTORY, MITCH DANIELS, POLITICS NEWS George W. Bush (Credit: Reuters) Excerpted from WHERE THEY STAND by Robert W. Merry In 2003, President Bush, then two years into his tenure, was asked by journalist Bob Woodward about his place in history. “History,” he replied. “We don’t know. We’ll all be dead.” This is a remarkable statement from any president, suggesting a blithe attitude toward the job’s magnitude and responsibility to posterity. Compare this insouciance, as historian Sean Wilentz did in a searing Rolling Stone piece on the younger Bush, with another president’s observation on the subject. “Fellow citizens,” said Lincoln, “we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Wilentz ...
![]() Seeming storm of irrelevant arbitrary data... Saddam Hussein maintained a weak military to coup proof his secular nation's power structure. President Bush could have made a case for going in to take care of the unfinished business of his father and the murder of the loyal Kurds in Iraq who supported the US in the first Gulf War, but perhaps not a strong one for supporting the War Against Terror and the Islamic extremists on seeming stove-piped intelligence. The Clinton Administration even sought (it appears) to later set Saddam free, but he didn't seem to give a hoot? Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former President Carter (whom many of us at least respect, though not always agree) both support President Obama. President Obama supports the shrinking of the military; however, so do people like Ron & Rand Paul. So many things to ponder and about which to ask the Lord for wisdom. We are citizens... we have a responsibility to carry out or we'll find little respect from our elected officials. Pra . ...

Sure American politicians have always slung mud and there was often clearly hate speech but today it permeates society like the blood that flows through our veins. In those days truth was often in the eye of the beholder but at least they thought it was a truth they could defend to the destruction of a career. The end of the Bush years culminated with the truth being determined unnecessary. Repeat something long enough and hard enough through hundreds of media outlets ...

I'm okay with that because I believe that if an American citizen becomes a member of a terrorist organization that has as one of it's goals the destruction of the American way of life, he, for all intents and purposes, sacrifices his American citizenship. The problem I have with this is that this is coming from an administration that four years ago condemned President Bush for water-boarding and other such acts in our war on terrorism. The liberals who take it solely upon themselves to be the judge and jury in all moral questions, condemned Bush for his actions, then become really quiet when our wonderful President decides to also take on the role of executioner! Where is the outrage? Where are the calls for impeachment that occured during the Bush Administration? HYPOCRITS!!!
![]() Although I can't say i enjoy posting political items on here, this is something that everyone should be aware of because whether you like it or not it is going to have an impact on all of our futures. I am attaching a document that was released today by NBC news showing how the current administration has built on the drone program initiated by former President Bush. In this document it talks about how the President (Obama) and his fellow perpetrators are creating a landscape for the killing of US Citizens without the due process of law, i.e. he can authorize a drone strike on a US Citizen based on loose speculation of "terrorist" if it fits within their criteria. Currently there are 6 countries that have been bombed by our drones under the current administration, of those 6 only 3 have been voted on by congress, i.e. 3 countries(Yemen, Somilia, Pakistan) are being bombed without congressional approval. In other words "we the people" did not have a voice on whether or not to start aggression in these c ...
![]() In Honoring Dr. King are we missing the Point? In 2003 I was arrested for honoring the initiatives and memory of one of our great ancestors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. only because we wanted people to “Say No to War,” and “Yes to Peace.” This action was in response to the beginning of the War with Iraq, which as a Senator, President Obama opposed. What sparked the arrest was when a National Guardsmen asked a student of mine, who is now an attorney, if he was part of organizing this acknowledgement for Dr. King. When my student said, “Yes!” the Guardsmen replied, “You should be shot in the head too!” Neither Governor Romney nor President Bush said anything about this incendiary and offensive statement by the Massachusetts Guardsmen. These words were a betrayal to the values of life and the values of Dr. King’s ideas. But words of wisdom by Dr. King in his speech at the Riverside Church in New York City, on April 3, 1967, spoken in opposition to the Viet Nam War one year and one day befor ...

Where was I when the NRA came to peoples' doors with furrowed brows and said "GIVE US YOUR GUNS NOW!" I also liked how she referred to him as "OBAMA" rather than President Obama. That made me chuckle because it really shows the lack of support many citizens in our nation have in our main leader. Even when George W.

The professor simply stated "No I was thinking more like the Tea Party" BAM The hammer comes down, you silly uninformed girl sitting in the back of the class!

![]() My sincere condolences today to George and Laura Bush. I told you just last week about the passing of my inseparable companion of the past 15 years, my black lab, Jet. So I truly sympathize with the Bushes, at news that Barney, their black Scottish terrier and America’s former “First Dog,” has died of cancer at age 12. For a time there, it seemed that Barney was the only resident of the Bush White House who could count on positive press. His “Barney-cam” videos and Christmas messages were enjoyed by millions of children. The former President released a statement reading in part, “Barney greeted Queens, Heads of State, and Prime Ministers. He was always polite and never jumped in their laps. Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House. He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend.” It was Harry Truman who once said that if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. I’m sure few other Presidents understood that feeling better than President Bush, o ...

Many of those doors in those universities were closed to me, because those who sit on the board and the board of trustees said we are displeased with what he said.

In Oswego County, Redfield's total of 141 inches sets a state record for snowfall from a "single event," according to the NWS. Final snowfall totals include: 121 inches in Parish & 106 inches in Mexico, both in Oswego County; 106 inches in Osceola in neighboring Lewis County, NY. The city of Oswego receives 85 inches. President Bush declared a Federal Snow Emergency for these areas. The weight of the snow on buildings posed an added danger with several reports of collapsed buildings.

![]() Anyone ever think. man where in the *** is President Bush!? I mean the guy fell off the planet it seems. Doesn't campaign for anyone and hardly any public appearances. Meanwhile Clinton is out campaigning like he is running for president again and out pushing his charity and he was the one with the "scandal" lol just funny when you think about it. Could it be that a half dozen states and some countries have filed war crime charges among other things on Bush? Pretty bad when you are a former president and have to have a don't go to list or you might be arrested.
![]() A RATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF JOBS/UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE US: Unemployment is at 7.8%. Of course, this number is unacceptable to all of us. Private Sector Businesses are referred to by Republicans as the “Job Creators” and must be protected at all costs as it pertains to tax increases and restrictive regulations. Sounds reasonable, right? So in the last 12 years, what are the statistics on Private Sector Job Creation? During President Bush’s tenure, the private sector lost a net 646,000 jobs. In four years, President Obama’s administration has presided over the creation of a net 1.11 million Private Sector Jobs. That’s 500,000 or so Private Sector jobs in 12 years.

![]() Points still applicable to new design The Case to Save the Shuttle A A A The Case to Save the Shuttle By Allen J. RichardsonPosted 10.14.08NOVA In August of 2003 the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) issued its report and concluded, among other things, that the space shuttles were aging, old technology, and too risky. Shortly thereafter President Bush initiated the Constellation program to retire the space shuttles and to replace them with the Ares Launch Vehicles and the Orion Spacecraft, patterned after the Apollo Program. As it stands, the space shuttles are to be retired during 2010, and the Constellation Project is well under way. This is a severe under-utilization of a valuable and still-usable national asset. SHUTTLE ADVOCATES: SAVE THE SHUTTLE To alert the public, my colleagues and I formed the Shuttle Advocates Team (SAT), an informal group of mostly retired Rockwell and Boeing engineers, with many years of experience working on the space shuttle Orbiter vehicle, from contract initiati ...
