In the most unlikely of places…

Friday, September 29th, 2006

One of my favorite blogs to read is an airline traveller blog called “Today in the Sky” by a reporter at USA Today. One of the posts caught my eye today, titled,
Officials detain flier whose plastic bag had anti-TSA message
This was a bit scarey. Have an Anti TSA message, get hauled in by [...]

Republicans lie – all the time! PROOF!

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

There’s something to be said about Republicans having balls.  Figuratively, not literally.  When the report comes out that the war in Iraq has worsened the terrorism threat, immediately Dick Cheney comes out and says that Democrats are “soft on national security”.  I mean really.
Red flags went up for me Condoleezza Rice said that the Clinton [...]

Olbermann ROCKS

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

I have always liked Keith Olbermann. He has always had a quick wit, and a piercing tongue. It served him well recently. Check out this commentary he just made, damning Bush and the Republicans for total inaction on bin Laden, and trying to blame Clinton for their own inaction and incompetence.

Shame on [...]

Can you just SMELL the irony?

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Okay, so Bush has been illegally spying on citizens of the United States without due cause or due process.  And he’s going to get away with it.  But HP officials do the same thing, and they’re about to be indicted.  Okay, so there are subpeonas that Bush has gotten due to the illegal wiretapping program, [...]

Reflecting on 9/11

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Okay, so I’m finished with my class for school, work has quieted down, and I’m settling into my hotel room for the evening.  I only ever watch National Geographic, History Channel, or Discovery Channel when I’m on the road, and on National Geographic, there is a special on the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.  [...]

Action Alert: Kill the Cheney-Specter Bill (S. 2453)

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

If you want your liberties, head on over to the ACLU’s page on the Cheney-Specter bill and read the horror. This bill would give the President unlimited power for spying on ordinary citizens without cause, without warrant. You want your email read before it gets to you? You want your phone conversations [...]

Oregonians: What you can do to end discrimination

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

I got an email from Basic Rights Oregon today, on two things we can do to help stop gay and lesbian discrimination in Oregon. From their mailing:
1. Sign our Petition for a Fair & Equal Oregon
At the start of the legislative session, we’ll deliver to legislators a petition from Oregonians who support our [...]

ABC = All ready to Broadcast lies about Clinton?

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

This is low, even for the mainstream media.  ABC is going to broadcast a program that is NOT based in fact, that tries to put the blame for 9/11 on Bill Clinton.  A six hour docudrama (more like crap-u-drama) called “The Bath to 9/11″ is supposed to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report, but [...]

Back for a bit

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Greetings!  This is Walter, the original ProudLiberal.org writer, back for a bit.  I know that the current ProudLiberal.org guy is sidelined for a bit, and since I have some time with work winding down and school almost over, to add my two cents in every now and then.
I’ve added two new categories – Action Alerts [...]
