The title of this post just about says it all, doesn’t it?
It’s ironic to me that the only people I hear talking negatively about gay marriage have either been married 3-4 times, or don’t seem to be happy in their own marriages.
Maybe critics of gay marriage in the name of protecting “the sanctity” of marriage should focus on the real problems – failed marriages, inequity in marriage, adultery, marital rape, etc, etc…

I’m all for holding these bastards accountable, however, this article points out my main concern, which is the fact that both Bush and Cheney CANNOT POSSIBLY be impeached in the same day and time… if one or the other is impeached before the other, then the remaining “decider” will pardon the other of any crimes, and choose his successor before being impeached and pardoned himself… that isn’t justice!
I’m DELIGHTED that the 35 articles for impeachment against Bush have been introduced into the record, and I think we will be able to prosecute him for war crimes AFTER he leaves office. I think this is the only way.

CBS reported today on a man who is a US Citizen, and has been detained at a Military prison in South Carolina without charges brought against him, without access to legal counsel, and without a trial.

Here are my thoughts…
Can anyone be an “enemy combatant”?
What is an “enemy combatant”?
What are “America’s interests”?
Does this really represent America’s interests?
What does this all mean?
Why would I think such a thing could happen?
But, if I’m not doing anything illegal, why should I worry? Why should I be concerned?
Under Hitler, new laws were made to essentially make it illegal for certain people to exist where they were. Ask yourself, who is Bush prejudice against? Even if it’s not you, don’t you think it’s scary that someone who’s proven to be so anti-American could do this to anyone he decides he doesn’t want to exist here?
I think that if you really are against terrorism, you CAN NOT support Bush’s policies and actions! Under his rule (and his father’s, and other elite powers linked to evil causes), the United States IS a terrorist country!
What can I do?
I was trying to convince everyone to write to their senators, representatives, etc.. before the Military Commissions Act was passed, and before it seemed inevitable to me that if Bush is planning to take over the country, dictatorially, I couldn’t stop him.
Unfortunately, the American public are asleep at the wheel.. we’re amazing consumers, but we’re not so good at thinking critically about our future and present politics. It’s no wonder, when American students are fed lies and justifications without explanation about our history.
So, I’m done trying to prevent such an attack… I can only do so much. What I can offer is this knowledge. Some links, and ideas to get you to explore the issue yourself. If you have any great ideas, please share it with the world.
Pay attention! Don’t just watch Fox or CNN. Download the Flock Eco-Browser, and subscribe to the hundreds of news sources available… worldwide. Create a blog of your own and share what’s on your mind. Knowledge IS power, and it can’t be taken away.. like everything else.
What will I do?
Couple Arrested at Bush Rally, Woman loses FEMA job – Settles Lawsuit for $80,000 – CommonDreams.org
This article is about freedom. Supporters of the war have argued that somehow we are fighting for freedom, while ignoring the fundamental freedoms that we have been losing as a nation for the 7+ years since Bush took office.
The 1st Amendment is the most cited section of our Bill of Rights, yet at a rally for the man who holds the office of the President of the country, this right was violated.
Thank goodness they won their case! Now that they have… feel free to wear your “I HATE BUSH” shirt everywhere you go
