Dennis Kucinich at the Global Warming Debate
Dennis Kucinich at the Global Warming Debate
This was a great speech. I have to agree with him when he mentions a President walking the walk. Kucinich is a vegan. What better than to have a vegan President that understands the need to make the food industry more environmentally friendly and to have better health care and better diets. Those all go hand-in-hand and he understands that.

Suicide Epidemic Among Veterans, A CBS News Investigation Uncovers A Suicide Rate For Veterans Twice That Of Other Americans - CBS News
Does this surprise anybody? They don't include all the suicides caused by this war in the body count. If they did, here's how it would look. The article says that there were at least 6,256 suicides in 2005 alone. Add that to the field body count of just under 4000 and that's 10,000+ dead right there. If you take those numbers as a guide for last year, the dead US soldier count is well over 15,000 due to this illegal war. Many soldiers return home so mentally fucked that they can't handle living anymore. We don't provide the proper care for them. This makes me so sick. I'm not into US soldier hero worship like the government or the religious right wants us to be. I don't think that someone that doesn't graduate high school or go to college deserves to be treated as some kind of hero simply because he joins the fucking army because that is the only way he will ever be able to provide for his family. I do not need to thank them for my freedom as many bumper stickers say. Our way of life hasn't seen a threat since Hitler in WW2. That was until Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and W, all were in office. All those people fucked us up more than we will ever know. Anyway, even though I don't think the high-school/college drop-out soldier deserves my thanks simply because he is stupid enough to join the Army and get his ass blown up in the middle of the fucking desert, I do think that if the government sends them to get shot at and blown up that we at least provide for their health care when they get back. They sign up to do what the dictator says and our part of the deal is that they get health care paid for by the government. So far we have not lived up to that end and that is why we have all of these suicides. Again, don't thank a soldier for your freedom. You are as free as you allow yourself to be. If you don't like where you are... MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE! I plan to do that if it gets any worse. I'm thinking Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary... somewhere the US gov doesn't target for takeover and the citizens have better rights(and can exercise them) and the government takes care of them.

The Airline Terrorist Hoax
The Airline Terrorist Hoax
This is so simple. The idea put forth by the Bush administration is that there are these evil arabic people wanting to blow us up when we fly. So, the got the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) to increase security at airports. According to USA TODAY, last years reports by the TSA show that they failed to find fake bombs hidden on undercover agents between 60 and 70 percent of the time! The fake bombs were hidden in pretty obvious places to check. That means that those evil arabic people would have a GREATER than 60% chance of blowing up a plane if they simply TRIED. Now, what does this mean? Well, if you've ever studied logic, this is a classic example of Modus Tollens:
If there are evil arabs wanting to blow up planes and they have a greater than 60% chance, there will be planes blowing up.
There are no planes blowing up.
Therefore there are no evil arabs wanting to blow up planes even though they have over a 60% chance if they simply tried.
In other words, we've all been royally fucking pwned!

This one is about the last two fluent speakers of a certain indigenous language in Mexico are not speaking to each other anymore. The sad part is at the bottom of the article. It says that according to the UN, one language disappears across the world every two weeks. Some languages are very beautiful to hear. Latin is my favorite. French is beautiful to hear due to it's evolution from Latin, but it's written form is atrocious. The spoken Spanish in Spain is wonderful too.

Frontal Assault on Freedom: FBI Raids Liberty Dollar
theRabidQuill � Blog Archive � Frontal Assault on Freedom: FBI Raids Liberty Dollar
Wow. Always sinking to a new low. It is perfectly legal to use private currency as long as you are not claiming it to be from the Federal Reserve. Since the Federal Reserve US dollar has had nothing to back it for over 30 years, it has been worthless for over 30 years. So people decided to start a private currency made of silver, gold, and platinum coins and paper bills to represent that money as well. The metals for the paper bills is kept in giant vaults so you can change it to metal on demand. That was how it once was with the US dollar until the Nixon administration. The Liberty Dollar represents REAL money. So what did the FBI do? They raided a Liberty Dollar office, and STOLE all of their vaulted currency, paper and coin, along with their computers, records, and everything else. Why? To preserve the Federal Reserve's hold on the economy and so Americans stay ignorant sheep and become gradually poorer. Personally, I agree with using REAL MONEY such as the Liberty Dollar. However, living in Alabama, if I tried to use it, the various uneducated idiots of various ethnic backgrounds who can't speak English(native and foreign) working at retail operations would be like "What is this? This isn't real money." Then they would probably call the redneck fascist pigs on me for trying to use counterfit money.

What does it take?
Daily Kos: State of the Nation
Seriously, what does it take to hold someone accountable for their actions? There have already been books and statements from some former higher up in the Bush administration that Bush was planning an attack on Iraq in his very first national security meeting in January of 2001. This article further shows that he was planning it 3 weeks after 9/11. Is it going to take some hidden audio or video recording of Bush saying these things and someone hijacking TV stations and showing it for people to make this asshole accountable for his war crimes? Don't get me wrong. I don't care who is in office. If they are criminal, they don't need to be there. I wasn't a fan of Clinton, but at least the country was prosperous under his administration. I didn't agree with his Bosnia deal, but damn, we had it good under him for the most part. Some of the policies he implemented sucked ass, but for the most part he did his job well. But DAMN! He got impeached for lying about a blow-job!!! He didn't commit war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity and kill the Bill of Rights or ignore the constitution and become a dictator! Personally, I'd rather have a President where the only thing they can impeach him for is lying about a blow-job and who is mostly peaceful, than one that doesn't lie about a blow-job and is a dictator and war-monger! I mean, how fucking stupid does this country have to be to keep taking this political pinecone , big end first, up the ass and thanking him for it?
