Who Is Today’s Terrorist, Freedom Fighter, Revolutionary, or Statesman? By : George Wallace There is today a generally world wide accepted idea that people in a country have the government they want and deserve. That when they deserve and desire a change strongly enough, they will do whatever it takes to get what they want in the way of a new style of government. It is also understood that the incumbent government will resist any changes with the full force of police, the courts, and military power. Most revolutions are achieved by means of means of physical force. Evil & Capital Punishment By : George Wallace Evil much more commonly results from deliberately hurtful actions by people. It is their actions that matter. It is the job of society to punish these persons for their hurtful actions. Society is not being protected to do its job safely. That job is to develop the economy and allow the safe rearing of children. Today’s prisons seem to be more like advanced training camps for stronger, smarter, more skilled, super criminals. Much of crime has become a free enterprise economic system. Terrorism From the Right By : George Wallace Militant evangelical fundamentalists of whatever religion are dangerous people. They are ignoring what is good about religion. Killing, hurting, destroying, and causing schism is more important to them than the religious message. Protestant militant evangelical fundamentalists wear the same stripes as Islamic militant evangelical fundamentalists. Both are willing to violently attack people for political power. Both are willing to use government to force their religious laws on everyone else Are There Any Good People Left in South Dakota? By : George Wallace I just read the horrific news. Abortion ban passed in South Dakota. Are there any good people left in South Dakota? If there are, let us help them leave. Let us begin by encouraging them to move somewhere else. Let us begin by encouraging every woman in the state to simply leave and not return. These characters have spent way too much time alone out in the grasslands with the sheep and cows. These characters have spent way too much time with their head deep in the whiskey barrel. Mudbug Politicians & Getting Cheap Gas Again By : Gecko 67 Here’s the prescription for low priced gasoline. RAISE TAXES on gas. No, it is not really crazy. Read on to find out how it really would work. Please, Just Call Me a Pagan By : George Wallace I’ve been doing some serious thinking lately. I am very concerned with the paths all too many “Christian” leaders are obviously following. From my perspective, many of these purported “Christian“ “leaders” are in fact false Christians. Their public statements, actions and activities have little or nothing to do with the message from Christ I read in the Gospels of the Disciples. George W. Bush: Only 971 Days Left: It is barely enough time to finish the job. By : George Wallace There are only 971 days left to painfully endure before the incompetent administration of the George W. Bush Presidency comes to a lingering, crawling, whimpering, and unbeloved close. George and Tony Admit to “Some Mistakes” By : George Wallace You and your fellow travelers admit to “some mistakes” and keep pointing to the “positive results” as if that was sufficient excuse for your own undisciplined, bullying, and morally unacceptable behaviors. It is as if you want and expect people to love you and trust you. Why in God’s name should they? You are not deserving of trust. Any trust and goodwill that you may have accrued in the past is long gone. It will take many years to regain it to the same degree that formerly existed. Illegal Immigration: the Secret Republican Party WMD Aimed at the U.S. Middle Class By : George Wallace What I have been unable to figure out is how so many people in the middle economic class were so easily duped by George Bush and his spin and web weaving master, Karl Rove. Was it ignorance? Stupidity? Distraction? A suicide wish? All of the above? The result is an unprecedented attack on the American Middle Class. Unemployed poor sick people who don’t vote are so much easier to kick around than healthy, confident, secure citizens. Easy Killing: Best Argument for the Strict Regulation of Small Firearms By : George Wallace Does God exists in all human beings? God gave you free will. God gave you a brain with the ability to think and reason. Know yourself. We need the experience of death. To understand death, you must actually touch the corpse. You must feel the absence of life and soul. You must actually touch the corpse before you can truly value life. This gives you the opportunity to value life. This one idea alone is the best argument I know of for the strict regulation of small firearms. Only 956 Days Left to Endure the “W” Cramp in Our Side By : George Wallace Just as was expected and predicted in previous articles, we now have before us the first prime example of a desperation measure by the George W. Bush owned and controlled Krovian Twist & Spin Trust of Dirty Tricks: the “compassionate conservative” President George W. Bush proposing that a permanent state of discrimination be written into our Constitution against a minority of our citizens. The real question is, of course, who will be next? What Went Wrong? By : George Wallace When I was a Junior in high school (1957), I watched my older friends (Seniors) go out and within a week, or two, get a job. That job was collateral enough for many to purchase a car, get married, and some were well on their way to parenthood and home ownership when I restarted school the next Fall. The overwhelming majority of married women had a non-wage paying job of homemaking and rearing children. It was considered important work in those ancient days. This was the “middle class” ideal. Bush, “Spreading Democracy” in the Middle East, and Shaking Hands By : George Wallace "Spreading Democracy" is “W”’s latest lame excuse for getting us into a war in a country where we don’t belong. It is more home grown, domestic, political marketing bullshit. First was WMD’s. There were no WMD’s. Second was al-Qaeda. al-Qaeda hated Saddam. It was mutual. Both would have rather eaten rat poison than even talk to each other. My Grandchild’s Future, and What About The Elephant Herd in Our National Living Room? By : George Wallace The official bulleted happy talking points dance down the page suggesting that in the US economy all is wonderful. The concert of the financial pundits is an all too familiar croak of pond frogs, and similar to whistling while walking through the cemetery at night. That is why a super majority of Americans feel like they are teetering on unstable ground before the rising winds of the gathering storm. Perhaps it is the trampling, trumpeting herd of elephants in our national living room . Che, Osama, and You By : George Wallace The latest hoorah about the US Government tracking large financial transactions is much ado about nothing. First, the government has been doing this for many years. It is one of the methods used to track money laundering activities of organized crime. It really has not had much effect as the intelligent criminals simply found another way to transfer funds out of sight of law enforcement. Parents: A Class Out of Favor By : George Wallace A declining number of married, or civil union conjoined, adults are choosing to become parents. Who can blame them? Parents today are not supported by the institutions of society, especially government with its taxing power, and are forced by the volatility of the jobs marketplace into seeking dual income status to survive. Karl Rove Is Breeding Red Herrings in the White House By : George Wallace That has to be the answer that explains the rate at which the White House is able to drag out these Red Herrings, one after another. Given the powers that this administration has taken unto itself, I do not understand how the full power of the Government of the United States is somehow unable to determine the source of the leak to the New York Times about undercover examination of international financial transactions. Can You Believe It? I didn’t. Not at first. By : George Wallace Osama bin Laden - Wanted Dead or Alive! Multiple million dollar bounty will be paid for an identifiable body in either condition. And the CIA halts, stops, and disbands the special unit dedicated to hunting bin Laden down? Just what part of Republican Newspeak is this? Are we just going to trust that eventually an informant on the other side will do a Jesse James on him? U. S. Democracy At Risk By : George Wallace The general incompetence of the current political party in charge has placed our Democracy at risk. I tend to think that perhaps they can’t help it. The Republicans have been out of power for so long at the Congressional level, and much longer since they have had both Congress and the White House that they lack practice. They are simply unskilled. That is why I think that they have had so huge a problem with corruption. Without practice they are unskilled at properly hiding their actions. Laughing All the way to Comprehensive Immigration Reform 07.13.06 By : George Wallace Any comprehensive solution to immigration has to deal effectively with a number of issues. I am not sure that a comprehensive solution is possible because I do not trust our government under the Bush Administration to be able to do even one part of a multi-faceted solution correctly. This group of the gang that can’t count to five with the help of the fingers on one hand, certainly can’t shoot straight, nor walk and chew gum simultaneously without injury to the body politic. Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition By : George Wallace It is time that I give President George Bush some credit . His present stance of doing nothing is exactly the right thing to do when dealing with problem of the Israeli incursions into southern Lebanon and Gaza. Go for it, George! Sit back and watch. Keep your fingers out of the pie. Either do nothing, or more positively, I say, send the Israelis more ammo. Thank You George W. Bush By : George Wallace Thank you for killing for all time the misconception that somehow Republicans had something over the Democrats in the field of Foreign Affairs. Thank you for also for killing for all eternity the misconception that the Father is like the Son. The tiny number of voters who chose to vote for you based on the idea that you would be able to tap the knowledge and expertise of Bush I have obviously found themselves adrift on an ocean of discontent. Falling In and Climbing Out Smelling Good By : George Wallace I do not believe for one minute that George W. Bush had any ability, intention, or foresight to understand the geopolitics of the Middle East. I hope the fact is that George W. Bush at least has the smarts to realize that he has had the luck to fall into a fresh Texas sized cow pie and has a chance to come out smelling like a rose. He has a fresh, new, nasty Middle Eastern war, that he didn’t start, to call U.S. electorate attention away from our war of mistakes in Iraq and 2,558 U.S. deaths Give Israel Enough Time By : George Wallace George, get Condi back in the States and keep her here ! It is too early for any negotiations ! The Israelis need more time. Yes, they have made a mistake or two. So what. They are fighting the dirtiest kind of war against terrorists who are imbedded in a civilian population that the terrorists have bought and paid for, body, blood, and soul. Even and especially the children. This is both cowardice and cynicism. Dead kids make for great agiprop and pulling world opinion their way. War on Terror: Either We Win, Or We Die By : George Wallace In the war on terror, either we win, or we die. These are the stark choices that we face. The terrorists are dedicated religious fanatics. They can only see one or the other. They can only hear one or the other. We Americans and Westerners may not want to believe that this is true. Wanting, like wishing, and the truth are seldom close together. When Torture Is AOK? By : George Wallace It has been interesting to watch the Conservative commentators and “talking heads” on TV this week. They are obviously trying not to swallow the bitter bile of erosion of Conservative Principles and personal freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution under their erstwhile leader President George W. Bush. This erosion, and a growth of a more powerful executive, is exactly the kind of behavior that would have been expected of Liberals playing fast and loose with the Constitution. “Stay The Course” Really Means Using Our Troops As Live Bait By : George Wallace “W’s” apologists just don’t get it. “W” has been in office for six long years. He is the one responsible for what happens, or does not happen during his watch. The constant blame game and trying to lay off “W’s” failures on former President Bill Clinton are readily seen for the Loser’s Limp it has always been. Rational Resolution of the Iraqi Problem By : George Wallace Iraq. We broke it. We own it. That is understandable. After that the problem is so complex that it is difficult to apply sound reasoning to the problem of finding a replacement for a strongman (Saddam) form of government for Iraq. Well, well. The NIE has been around since April? By : George Wallace Now we know that we have a case, several cases actually, of President George W. Bush lying through his teeth about very substantial matters: connection of Saddam to terrorist groups, WMD’s, necessary troop deployment levels, torture of prisoners, and now this NIE revelation that the President has known for five long months that we are in a losing situation in Iraq. How many U.S. soldiers have died in those five months? Death is a fairly substantial matter. NIE #2: Iraq, the Basic Training Camp By : George Wallace That’s right. Iraq is a basic training camp for al Queda, and their ilk. It includes many opportunities for live fire exercises. This quickly weeds out the dumb and unlucky among the constant flow of new terrorist trainees. The trainees come from the entire Muslim world to build a cadre of bomb building volunteers. Amish Shooting Gallery By : George Wallace The Pennsylvania incident where five very young Amish school girls were murdered in their school room by a deranged gunman has again pulled out the very worst of propaganda to service a helpless point of view. “There’s nothing that we could have done to prevent this kind of incident from happening.” What utter bull manure! Yes, there are many things that could be done to prevent school shooting incidents of this type from happening. Some are simple. Many are not simple, but doable. Waiting for The October Shoe Surprise By : George Wallace I’m waiting for the shoe to drop. Again. I thought it already had. Then that shoe turned out to be a hoax. Remember the story about terrorists planning to explode radiological bombs in seven NFL stadiums this weekend? That’s the problem with this kind of thing, when there is this much excitement in causing havoc, there are copy cats, idiots, fanatics, and college numbheads who want in on the fun. Another Night of the Long Knives By : George Wallace Now that George Bush has gotten total and absolute autocratic power to “disappear” anyone who simply disagrees with him, his policies, decrees, or his plans - when does the purge begin? Will you and yours be the targets of eraser teams or death squads? The Constitution is an inconvenience and nothing more than wishful thinking written upon an old piece of paper to these power addicts. Injustice and Shame at DOJ By : older fossil Originally published in Arizona Daily Sun, Flagstaff, AZ. One hundred sixty three honest citizens were discriminated agains at the Department of Justice, deprived of employment, and having endured lessened careers because of their political views.
