Afteraffects of Katrina

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

We all know that there are hundreds dead, thousands displaced, and billions of dollars of destruction due to Hurricaine Katrina. When there are natural disasters like this, the President and Governors use the National Guard to work, help restore power, provide food, clean water, and prevent looting. But scenes yesterday of all of [...]

We’re being spied on by the National Guard!

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

Looks like in California, there are National Guard units that are being used to spy on protesters. The National Guard spied on about 100,000 US citizens during peaceful anti-war rallies in the 1960s and 1970s, and it looks like they’re doing it again. This is not how peaceful Americans should be forced to [...]

Hidden funds aiding Schwarzenegger

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

So much for “running an open and honest government! Looks like The Guvernator is keeping lots of fundraising secret. They’ve raised $3 million already, paid for his travel, and generally are insuring he’ll listen to them by making donations…

Robertson’s apologetic non-apology

People have to remember, the government is NOT to promote one religion over another, but that’s exactly [...]

Using the dead to promote war

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

Unbeknownst to fallen military men and women’s families, the Pentagon has taken to putting slogans that were created to help “sell” the war on the gravemarkers of the fallen soldiers. Some people may not care, but a good deal of the military families were stunned and sickened by this behaviour. The US has [...]

Robertson calling for assassination

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

Pat Robertson is clearly losing it. He just came out and said that
the United States needs to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez because he’s a “danger” to the United States.
When bin Laden does things like this, we call him a terrorist. The same should apply to Robertson. And what we SHOULD be [...]
