Bill Moyers

There is this blog I really like called " Think On This"

I found this Youtube video posted on it. I think it is worth watching.

Lies and Mis-statements

Does it seem at all strange to anyone that if a citizen lies to a Senator they can be prosecuted and actually spend time in a federal prison. But if a Senator lies to the entire citizenry it is really just a mis-statement.

Why do we put up with this kind of nonsense? Politicians that lie and play the smoke-and-mirror games should be run out of office........ maybe bring back the old tar and feather treatment to run them out of Washington.

War For Oil

John Mc Cain's admission yesterday the Iraq war is about oil is not the first time he has said this. In his senate speech on Iraq he was clear on his belief the war was necessary to keep "the flow of energy" from the middle east.

The sad part is we have a congress and president that believes it is somehow rational to put the lives of our young men and women on the line for oil. Sad, not just because we have better energy alternatives available to us, but sad because our leaders show so little regard for the lives of our warriors. How could they vote to send these men and women into a battle that they knew was simply to protect oil-pipelines and keep companies like Haliburton and multi-national oil companies in business.

This is the year and time for Americans to make a decision on the future of the country. In spite of the blathering nonsense from the spin bitches on cable, it should be clear to every one of us that what we don't need is a continuation of the 30+ years of political experience that has put us into our current situation.
