Traitors in Washington?

What the hell is wrong with my fellow Americans? Don't they realize that there is a traitor in the White House - surrounded by treasonous advisors who lied to get us to go to war? Where is the hue and cry? Any God-fearing, true PATRIOT knows that Bush and his ilk are nothing more than common criminals with nuclear toys.

Nixon is a Liberal?

Exactly when did Nixon become a liberal? He stood for things like universal healthcare, treatment instead of jail for substance abuse. These things are considered radical leftist ideas today. When did the Fascists take over?

Did the Blackout Make me Paranoid?

I have come to realize something. I am not going to trust the grid and what it represents. I think every American should start thinking in the same terms. I am about to embark on a journey to become an Alternative Energy household. My fiance is not quite as gung-ho as I am, but I think I can get him to come around to my thinking.
It is something that in the month that we had the biggest blackout in our history that Mother Earth News ran a story on going solar. Perhaps it is divine providence? But I think that piece is worth looking at. The technology has gone a long way. Even the Northern Climates can now benefit from Solar Power combined with other power sources. Why rely on the idiots in the government to protect our livelihood when we can protect it ourselves by simply moving ourselves off of the grid? Some would call this radical. It's just Common Sense.

ACK! It is the Filipino Insurrection Redux:

This looks like a very cool knitting site: http://www.heirloom-knitting.co.uk/beginners_guide1.html. One of these days I might try my hand at some lace knitting.

For no apparent reason, I decided to look up Square Dancing. I found a site that shows all the basic steps: http://www.squaredancecd.com/sdance.htm This is very cool. The gentleman who did this is quite talented!

Prevarication of Presidents?

I am thoroughly confused, befuddled, and dismayed with George W. Bush. Well, actually, that is not really true. I knew he was a politician, and thus prone to lying. But My Goodness, what a prevaricator he seems to be!  And folks believe him!

Now politicians lie - all of them.  I just think that a cowboy should be treated the same as an overeducated hillbilly.  Of course, I think all politicos are crooked, lyin', thievin', good-for-nothings.  Can't help it.  My earliest memories about politicians revolve around Watergate.  You remember that little pickle?  (And then I made the mistake of studying History. Nothing makes you lose faith in your fellow man faster!)

Now, if I had told a whopper like the president seems to have, I would have gotten a whuppin' but good.  I think most of us would have.  I don't really cotton to taking us into a war while warbling whoppers.  Just me.

The question we all have to ask now:

Is this just the tip of a vast iceberg?  Just how much misinformation has been handed down to us?

My personal thoughts are that it is all bunk if it comes from D.C. - but that's me. 

Home Economics

This is an awesome project. Some of the stuff was actually right: Home Economics Archive at Cornell. Home Ec is underrated. Too many modern youth can't boil water or sew a button.

Bush has Made Us Less Safe

Bush is not a good president.  We haven't had a good president since Harry Truman.

That said.  We are less safe due to the bellicose nature of the vitriol spewing from the White House.  "Bring 'em On"!!!! That is the most childish and irresponsible thing anyone could say in an unstable environment.  This is not some Wild West movie.  This is real life.  There are real people dying due to possibly false allegations that were used as a pre-text to war.  Where is the outrage?

Something is rotten in Denmark (the White House). I don't know whether Bush is dumb like a fox or if it is one of his handlers.  There are too many unanswered questions:

-- Why were they ready to dismantle the Bill of Rights only a few days after the disaster?
-- Why were investigations on the Bin Laden family scuttled by Bush?
-- Why were Bin Ladens allowed to leave during the "No-Fly" period?
-- Why are only OIL COMPANY men advising the president?

I am reluctant to remind folks that the American Revolution was a successful conspiracy.  Conspiracy is not a word that should be dismissed at hearing it.  Consipiracies do occur all the time - most are scuttled.  I am slack-jawed at the fact that the Bushies are getting away with this obvious ploy to control the main oil supply.  Follow the money.  If you do that you will find that something is very rotten in Denmark (read the White House.)

What is wrong with my fellow Americans?  Are they drugged by the popular media?  Something in the food?  Where is th outrage?  The hew and cry for justice?  Or are they just so worn out from all the scandals of the last 30 years that there is nothing left?

I am only  heartened by the fact that Nixon had a high popularity till near the end.  I am concerned that Poindexter took this long to get rid of.  (Felons running DARPA - not a good combination.)

Once again, selfish greed is causing the ruin of civilization.  Bush is not a Christian if he puts money over people's lives.  If he is truly for fixing the world's problems, he would have already been in Liberia.  He has wasted all that
