"Fascism will come to the U.S. wrapped in a a flag and carrying a cross" - Sinclair Lewis
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty" - Thomas Jefferson
~~~~~ "Beware the leader who bangs the drum of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor. For Patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood. Just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed. The leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather. the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done." - Julius Caesar~~~~~ Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. -John F. Kennedy~~~~ "Sometimes it falls upon a great generation to be great. You can be part of that great generation." Nelson Mandela ~~~~"To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men" - Abraham Lincoln
80% of republicans are just democrats who don't know what is going on----RFK, Jr."Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives" James Madison"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary." - George Orwell
"I knew that i was dying. Something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become them, accept. Then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest bit. it needn't be much, just a spark. A spark can set a whole forest on fire, just a spark, save it." - Charles Bukowski~~~~~~~~ Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.........Henry Miller ~~~~~~~~ "If there is light in the soul, There will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world." ~Chinese Proverb"A nation's greatness is judged by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"MANKIND MUST PUT AN END TO WAR, OR WAR WILL PUT AN END TO MANKIND" John F. Kennedy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Iraq war is an ILLEGAL war (Bush never went back to the UN for a second vote, as he said he would) based on lies and false intelligence at the astounding cost of $8 billion a month, $280 million a day, $12 million an hour! Imagine the good that money could do to help Americans, improving education, health care for all, important social programs for the elderly, etc. BushCo is destroying the constitution with the Patriot Act, using 9/11 as an excuse to spy on citizens, fearmongering, attacking our civil liberties, abandoning Katrina survivors while running up a record deficit. This is the fascist/incompetent leadership of BushCo. It is time to Take America Back, put Impeachment Back on the Table, and make 2007 the year of accountability!
"You know I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office." George W. Bush, 1989~~~~~~~"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005~~~~~"There ought to be limits to freedom." GWB commenting on the GWBush.com website, May 21, 1999 ~~~~"Poor people aren't necessarily killers" GWB.~~~~ "If the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched."-George Bush Sr. in an interview with Washington journalist, Sarah McClendon, in December 1992~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ I came out of the Air Force a liberal because I learned that you're only as strong as the weakest among you. - Randi RhodesHow Liberal /Conservative Are You?
