If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams BillyDoomnoreply@blogger.comBlogger491100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994307.post-1130908752313493532005-11-02T00:13:00.000-05:002005-11-02T00:19:12.323-05:00

If you watched Patrick Fitzgerald's press conference on friday, you probably missed a very important information coming out of that press conference.He used the "baseball" analogy to describe the lack of evidence to indict on the original crime of "the outing of a CIA agent with covert status". "If someone throws sand in the umpire's eye, or blocks his view from seeing the facts, the umpire can't

The American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as "a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism." Fascism is synonymous with corporatism. Corporatism is government run by and for corporations in the belief that it is the most "efficient" model of national

Before my arrival in the USA, I resided in Rome, Italy for a few months. I befriended in Rome an old gentleman who had a family restaurant.

Karl Rove, the neocons, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney are trying to make you believe that when certain (negative) things happened during their reign, the principal culprit was John Kerry. You would say that George W. Bush is the unluckiest president of modern time. Now all the bad news is not as random as you may think. Popular wisdom suggests that "we are the crafters of our own happiness",

I've been a Democrat all my life. Not necessarily by affiliation; more by conviction. Political affiliation is relative, unless you belong (sold your soul) to a party. This is the issue I want to discuss; Democrats are progressive minded people that don't need an entity to tell them how to vote. We can make up our own mind how to vote, or educate other people about the realities of our times.

Two major political stories dominating the news are the most ironic to date.
