Honeymoon May Be Over for Ron Paul
2007-08-14 05:08:00
Ron Paul's recent speech should be no surprise to those 'progressive' fans who have examined Paul's voting record. He's always been anti-abortion, pro guns, weak on civil rights, and for small government at the expense of the vulnerable. Truthdig reports:Ron Paul may have soured his antiwar appeal among progressives with a speech Saturday at the Iowa straw poll. Paul referred to Roe v. Wade as ?that horrible ruling,? called for the abolition of the Departments of Energy and Education and the IRS, and attacked welfare and immigrants. But the most bizarre moment came when he suggested airline passengers should be allowed to carry guns, saying: ?I think 9/11, quite frankly, could have been prevented if we had had a lot more respect for the Second Amendment.?Watch it:Hat tip to Al Buono.Technorati tags: Truthdig, Ron Paul, Abortion, 9/11, 2008 Presidential Election, Libertarian, Politics , Republican , Iowa, news, youtube

The Next Narcissist-in-Chief?
2007-08-13 05:03:00
It's All About ThemBy Paul Krugman The New York TimesAsk not what your country can do for you ? ask what you can do for your father?s political campaign.Last week, at one of Mitt Romney?s ?Ask Mitt? forums, a woman in the audience asked Mr. Romney whether any of his five sons are serving in the military and, if not, when they plan to enlist.The candidate replied with a rambling attempt to change the subject, but near the end he let his real feelings slip. ?It?s remarkable how we can show our support for our nation,? he said, ?and one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected, because they think I?d be a great president.?Wow. The important point isn?t the fact that Mr. Romney?s sons aren?t in uniform ? although it is striking just how few of those who claim to believe that we?re engaged in a struggle for our very existence think that they themselves should be called on to make any sacrifices. The point is, instead, that Mr. Romney apparently ...

A Lesson From The Soviet Union
2007-08-13 04:56:00
Delaying the InevitableBy Nicholas D. KristofThe New York TimesAs we struggle to extricate ourselves from Iraq , it?s useful to look at how the Soviet Union handled a similar position in the 1980s. Then we should do the opposite.The Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979 based partly on an intelligence failure analogous to our own in Iraq: they believed that their poorly behaved puppet in Kabul was poised to switch loyalties to the United States.By 1986, the Soviets wanted to end the Afghan war, and tried some of the same approaches that we have tried or talked about: a new constitution, a new leader, a policy of ?national reconciliation.?These worked as well for them as they have for us.Many Soviets just wanted to cut their losses and pull out. But other officials raised counterarguments that may sound familiar:If we simply pull out, we?ll destroy our influence around the world for a generation. And if we leave, the country will fall apart, and there?ll be a bloodbath focusing on our f...

Be A Part of 'The Shift'
2007-08-13 04:39:00
With all the destruction and negativity and pessimism in the world today, here is something positive you can be a part of:The ShiftA massive worldwide phenomenon is in progress, offering seeds of great hope for the future. Millions of individuals, organizations and corporations around the world are waking up and embracing a new outlook with an emphasis on their responsibility to contribute positively to our collective future. We are in the middle of the biggest social transformation in human history, The SHIFT. At this critical point, it is imperative we make the masses aware of this global movement quickly. This evolutionary phenomenon is broader and deeper than the most visible SHIFT, the environmental movement. It involves our very understanding of who we are as human beings, and our responsibility to the world and to life itself. THE SHIFT movie raises awareness to the story of our roles in an evolutionary shift in our collective consciousness. As it chronicles the faces, the st...

Bush's Terror Propaganda: Take Two
2007-08-12 19:19:00
Frank Rich warns those gullible few who still can't see the truth through the forest of Bush ie lies that the "White House?s public relations strategies for the war in Iraq are again gathering steam to America?s peril." As always, Rich is a MUST READ.Shuffling Off to Crawford, 2007 EditionBy Frank RichThe New York TimesTHE cases of Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch were ugly enough. So surely someone in the White House might have the good taste to draw the line at exploiting the murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. But nothing is out of bounds for a government that puts the darkest arts of politics and public relations above even the exigencies of war. As Jane Mayer told the story in last week?s New Yorker, Mariane Pearl was called by Alberto Gonzales with some good news in March: the Justice Department was releasing a transcript in which the long-incarcerated Qaeda thug Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to the beheading of her husband. But there was something off about ...

The One Candidate Who Speaks Truth
2007-08-12 05:50:00
*AN HONEST ANSWER* DENNIS KUCINICH JULY 24, 2007The following video is a reminder that we do have one Democratic candidate that stands for change, speaks truth without mincing his words, and has a record that shows he walks the walk as well as he talks the talk. Presuming there will be an election in November and presuming it will not be sabotaged by the powers that be, we still hold the power of the vote. Speaking to my mother a few days after the last Democratic Presidential debate, I was confronted with this all too common reaction: "Kucinich? Yeah, he's great-- but he can't win." My response is as it always is: He CAN win -- if you vote for him. We must stop listening to the propagandized media and start thinking and acting in our interests. Use your vote as if your life depended on it -- because it does -- and vote for the candidate that has the vision to give America back to the people.

Economic Doomsday?
2007-08-10 19:54:00
The Krug Man weighs in on the current financial liquidity crisis in today's Times. The really scary thing about it, according to Krugman, is that there is not a whole lot policy makers can do to remedy the situation. I'm not panicking yet, and neither is Mr. Krugman. But now would be a great time for anyone so religiously inclined to say a prayer or two....Very Scary ThingsBy Paul Krugman The New York TimesIn September 1998, the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, a giant hedge fund, led to a meltdown in the financial markets similar, in some ways, to what?s happening now. During the crisis in ?98, I attended a closed-door briefing given by a senior Federal Reserve official, who laid out the grim state of the markets. ?What can we do about it?? asked one participant. ?Pray,? replied the Fed official.Our prayers were answered. The Fed coordinated a rescue for L.T.C.M., while Robert Rubin, the Treasury secretary at the time, and Alan Greenspan, who was the Fed chairman, assu...

Should the US proceed with sanctions intended to cause the Chinese currency to appreciate, ?the Chinese central bank will be forced to sell dollars, which might lead to a mass depreciation of the dollar....?

Bush was a likable, honest fellow. But those of us who actually analyzed what he was saying about policy came to a different conclusion ? namely, that he was irresponsible and deeply dishonest. His numbers didn?t add up, and in his speeches he simply lied about the content of his own proposals.In the fifth year of the disastrous war Mr. Bush started on false pretenses, it?s clear who was right.

Our Korffian Moment
2007-08-05 20:34:00
">Patriots Who Love the Troops to DeathBy Frank RichThe New York TimesGERALD FORD spoke the truth when he called Watergate ?our long national nightmare,? but even a nightmare can have its interludes of rib-splitting farce. None were zanier than the antics of Baruch Korff, a small-town New England rabbi who became a full-time Richard Nixon sycophant as the walls closed in. Korff was ubiquitous in the press and on television, where he would lambaste Democrats and the media ?lynch mob? for vilifying ?the greatest president of the century.? Despite Nixon?s reflexive anti-Semitism, he returned the favor by granting the rabbi audiences and an interview that allowed the embattled president to soliloquize about how his own faith and serenity reinforced his conviction ?deep inside? that everything he did was right.Clearly we?ve reached our own Korffian moment in our latest long national nightmare. The Nixon interviewed by the rabbi sounded uncannily like the resolute leader chronicled by th...

Gonzo Flames OutDemocrats.com provides another good perspective:Even as Conyers wimped out, fate smiled upon us in the smirking face of of Alberto Gonzales , who is just so bad that even Republican Senators can barely stop themselves from screaming at him.Gonzales testified again today before the Senate Judiciary Committee to explain why he lied to them in his previous appearances. So what did Gonzales do? He lied and lied some more.Everyone who cares about Justice is outraged. The Senate is finally considering perjury charges. But if the Senate filed charges, guess who'd have to prosecute? Alberto Gonzales' own utterly corrupt Justice Department!Impeachment is the only cure and it's time for Congress to exercise it.

MUST SEND TO EVERY MEDIA OUTLET IN USA
2007-07-23 05:56:00
As usual, the mainstream media have failed to report on a rather important new Bush Executive Order that, according to Truthout Editor Marc Ash, "seeks to circumvent both judicial and Congressional oversight, render[ing] unto the executive branch, and ultimately Mr. Bush, absolute power of law." Pretty damned scary stuff, people.ABSOLUTELY MUST READ and POST far and wide! Truthout Editor's Note: Posted below is the recently dispatched Executive Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq , and notice to Congress of its issuance. It is a remarkably broad assumption of power taken unto the executive branch by George W. Bush. While there are references to making persons that "... pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence ..." specific targets of this action, the order also names a far broader spectrum of individuals and actions that may be subject to punitive measures as well.

Just What the Founders Feared: An Imperial President Goes to War
2007-07-23 05:12:00
Adam Cohen, NYT Editorial Observer:The nation is heading toward a constitutional showdown over the Iraq war. Congress is moving closer to passing a bill to limit or end the war, but President Bush insists Congress doesn?t have the power to do it. ?I don?t think Congress ought to be running the war,? he said at a recent press conference. ?I think they ought to be funding the troops.? He added magnanimously: ?I?m certainly interested in their opinion.?The war is hardly the only area where the Bush administration is trying to expand its powers beyond all legal justification. But the danger of an imperial presidency is particularly great when a president takes the nation to war, something the founders understood well.

The French ConnectionsBy Paul Krugman The New York TimesThere was a time when everyone thought that the Europeans and the Japanese were better at business than we were. In the early 1990s airport bookstores were full of volumes with samurai warriors on their covers, promising to teach you the secrets of Japanese business success. Lester Thurow?s 1992 book, ?Head to Head: The Coming Economic Battle Among Japan, Europe and America,? which spent more than six months on the Times best-seller list, predicted that Europe would win.Then it all changed, and American despondency turned into triumphalism. Partly this was because the Clinton boom contrasted so sharply with Europe?s slow growth and Japan?s decade-long slump. Above all, however, our new confidence reflected the rise of the Internet. Jacques Chirac complained that the Internet was an ?Anglo-Saxon network,? and he had a point ?

I disagree. As a woman-- Surprise, people, I'm female! -- I don't want Hillary to be a strong commander in chief in the image of her male predecessors. I want her to be a strong woman leader, who brings the best of her gender's unique qualities to the office of the President. I want a woman president who isn't afraid to be a woman: a president with true compassion for people and their very real problems, a president who repudiates torture, war, and inhumane acts against humanity, a president who protects our rights under the Constitution, a president who takes responsibility for her actions, a president who inspires us to be the best we can be not unlike the way our mothers inspired each of us, a president who tells us what she thinks and believes in no uncertain terms,...

A Wake-Up Call
2007-07-20 08:28:00
MUST READ. Paul Craig Roberts reports: " This is a wake-up call that we are about to have another 9/11-WMD experience. The wake-up call is unlikely to be effective, because the American attitude toward government changed fundamentally seventy-odd years ago. Prior to the 1930s, Americans were suspicious of government, but with the arrival of the Great Depression, Tojo, and Hitler, President Franklin D. Roosevelt convinced Americans that government existed to protect them from rapacious private interests and foreign threats. Today, Americans are more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to government than they are to family members, friends, and those who would warn them about the government?s protection.Intelligent observers are puzzled that President Bush is persisting in a futile and unpopular war at the obvious expense of his party?s electoral chances in 2008.In the July 18 Los Angeles Times (?Bush the Albatross?), Ronald Brownstein reminds us that Bush?s behavior is disastrou...

He was confident four years ago, when he told the insurgents to bring it on. He was confident two years ago, when he told Brownie that he was doing a heckuva job.Now Iraq is a bloody quagmire, Afghanistan is deteriorating and the Bush administration?s own National Intelligence Estimate admits, in effect, that thanks to Mr. Bush?s poor leadership America is losing the struggle with Al Qaeda.
