The Constitution in peril

Here is a short book review by Doug Bandow that appeared on antiwar.com, one of my favorite websites. Very alarming. This book should be read, and all of us need to become champions of liberty (unfortunately, most Americans are sheeple).

W to attack yet another country?

It seems that the decider-in-chief, George W. Bush, is preparing the way for an attack on yet another country that does not have the capability or desire to attack the United States. Interesting article that states that Congress approved money for covert operations in Iran. All according to the Constitution, right?

What'll it be, soldier, Zoloft or Prozac?

War is not good for anyone, especially the young men and women who are actively engaged in fighting it. Not only are U.S. armed forces personnel committing suicide at an alarming rate, they are, as reported on cnn.com here, also taking antidepressants at an increasing rate.

Over 4,000 U.S. troops dead, $12 billion a month bill for Iraq and Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children dead, increased animosity toward the American empire, over 30 thousand permanently injured U.S. troops - need I go on?

The purpose of this unconstitutional war was what?

Nixon, I mean Bush wants to . . .

The decider-in-chief wants to pull a Richard Nixon and suspend the fundamental laws of economics. He says he wants to "freeze" all mortgages that may reset to a higher interest rate. What a disaster this will be. Just like the disaster in the '70's when then President Nixon did almost the same thing and suspended all wages and prices for 90 days! Isn't it a good thing that government officials can't suspend the fundamental laws of physics too?

Amazingly, the decider-in-chief's plan is backed by the equally incompetent Secretary of the Treasury. Read the amazing news here.

Bush wants $88 million for bunker-busters

Our war-mongering decider-in-chief wants $88 million of your money to build 30,000 pound bunker-buster bombs. Just in case another country builds nuclear weapons, he wants to be able to take those weapons out if they're underground.

Why don't we just leave everyone alone and shut down the empire? Maybe other countries are increasing their military because the U.S. is all over the world (over 700 bases) telling them what to do. When you bully people, they strike back, just like the kids back in grade school who struck back at the school yard bully. Let's just wage peace.
