Polls are open for a few more hours, “I voted” stickers are on a number of CMSU student shirts, and predictions of who will win or if Americans will even know abound. Yes, it must be Election Day, 2004. If we miraculously have a decision for the people any time soon, we’ll go in to this Christmas with some expectation of what the New Year will bring. For Bush supporters, a Republican victory might bring comfort that America still wishes to remain as culturally conservative as is possibl...
I cannot believe this debate is still going on - so I'll finally add my two cents. Before I begin I would like to state that I am pro-life and firmly against the idea of euthanasia. Now let's look at the facts: Terry Schiavo is under the guardianship of Mr. Schiavo. Regardless of what one thinks of Mr. Schiavo, he had the most intimate relationship with Terry. If any one person knew or could deduce what Terry would have wanted, this is the person. Terry's parents say Terry would have ...
The BBC finally confirms the dissenting opinion about Iraqi Oil and the "neo-con" agenda. The link below will take you to the article and a link on that page will stream the actual Newsnight video. Very comprehensive and very interesting - you won't see this in the states on our mainstream media networks. Not even a peep. Leave it up to the folks on the other side of the pond to do our media's job for them. All those who thought the administration was there for altruistic purposes (se...
1...IF YOUR GOVERNMENT PASSES LAWS THAT TAKES AWAY YOUR RIGHTS... Laws have been passed that allow full domestic surveillance and imprisonment of Americans without any evidence, secret arrests and imprisonment is within the broad powers our lawmakers willingly signed away (Patriotic Act / Intel Reform Act of '04) 2...IF YOUR GOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTS A NATIONAL ID CARD LINKING YOU TO A FEDERAL DATABASE OF INFORMATION... National ID's linked to all personal information (student, medical, f...
Many have heard the Bush family makes quite a bit of money in the oil and defense industries. Just to keep everyone up to date on their making a killing off the sp(oil)s of war there is this story re-posted from the LA Times: Company's Work in Iraq Profited Bush's Uncle LA Times | February 24, 2005 WASHINGTON — The Iraq war helped bring record earnings to St. Louis-based defense contractor Engineered Support Systems Inc., and new financial data show that the firm's war-related prof...
I wanted to share this link with all of you. This leads to the directory listing of all the George Bush Shows created by a gifted flash developer. Republicans (especially ep. 7) and Democrats alike should get a kick out of these. The satire provided is excellent commentary and the production is top notch for such a small developing group. Post your comments here! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/search.php?kind=j&terms=bush%20show
Yes, it's true! If all votes are counted in Ohio, Kerry will win the presidency! Try this link: http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=4201
What do you get when you have a Republican President, a Republican controlled Senate and House, and a Supreme Court looking to add another one or two justices to the bench? Americans will see in the upcoming four years what fruits will be yielded from this year’s election. According to President Bush, with his “mandate” of 31% of the voting electorate, those fruits will come in the form of an overhaul of social security wherein money will be diverted from the federal pool to private acco...
If there is one thing proven in this election, it's that American voters want the country to remain as socially conservative as possible. The silver lining in this is that Roe V. Wade might get put on the endangered species list after some new Supreme Court Justices and conservative voices were heard concerning the traditional family unit. It's finally been proven that the culturally conservative vote can turn out and will. One thing that was very interesting about the Bush vote this yea...
Welfare is giving money to people who haven't earned it. Tax breaks are NOT TAKING MONEY AWAY from people who earned it. People who can't see the difference are morons, and people who refuse to are dishonest. That isn't your money, or the government's money, it's the oil company's money. - Bakerstreet Federal Reserve notes are a receipt for bartering goods and services, printed by the Federal Reserve, a private company, for the United States government. Every bit of American currency is...
I've a few Muslim friends. Two of them live here in Jefferson City. They are both extremely mild mannered, polite, and quiet gentlemen. I've come to appreciate their overall demeanor and they take my ribbing of them being 'terrorist A-rabs' quite well. Of course, they've known me for years now, and understand that the running joke is not actually at their expense but at the expense of stereotypical midwesterners who like to eye down my buddies as if they are actually going to suddenly tak...
..before I address you Democratic Senators and Governors, allow me to issue a few words of consolation to our Republican leaders.... I told you about pandering to the base without delivering. I told you the Iraq war was a mess and I told you it would bite you back. I told you trampling civil liberties would cause a stink you'd not be able to wash away. I told you to act like conservatives and you went fucking crazy bombing whole nations only to build them back ...
A new MSNBC poll is up right now for JU voters to check out. The Poll Question Is : Do you agree with President Bush when he likens the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism with the fight against Nazis and communists ? The Options are : Yes. Bin Laden and others are the Hitlers and Stalins of our times . Maybe. But I'm going to need some more convincing one way or the other . No. This is just dishonest, warmongering designed to scare voters about national...
I've decided that JU's extremely opinionated denizens might like to voice their opinions on what they like and dislike about America. That means any aspect of America. This can be it's present form, the tax burden we share, the culture in which we live, the political parties that supposedly represent our interests, the weather in parts of the country, or even the music we have to suffer on the top forty charts today. Any aspect of American life, ideology, or it's components are...
I've seen so little word from chickenhawks lately regarding N.Korea. Maybe post-911 fever has finally worn away and maybe the stomach to make someone, anyone pay for innocent deaths had dissipated. Maybe even the Bush administration would take a less costly and more pragmatic approach to foreign policy noting the peons are sick of supporting a war they have seen little return on? I consulted Devon Largio's undergraduate thesis paper Uncovering the Rationales for the War on Iraq: The...
