The good Rev. Huckabee likes to spin. Spin his positions, spin his beliefs but, the good Rev. Huckabee likes to “rotate” his tires. The good Rev. Huckabee would do well to READ the Constitution of the United States of America, at least once. Then the good Rev. might do well to read anything other than “Classics Illustrated.”

Bush in denial? Um, shouldn’t that be war criminal delusion? Truth or subjugation? 935 ways to lie your nation into utter devastation? Torturing one’s way into the annals of tyranny? However and I concede, I may just be guessing here.

I’ve been to Oklahoma and they don’t speak English. They speak Okie. Now in Yukon, Oklahoma, they speak Brooks-ese. That’s Okie with a modified twist. Hell, not even the English speak English. Hmmm, what we have here is of course a conundrum.

The sovereign Iraqi people MUST be please as a ‘shock and awe’ punch to have the Americans solidly entrenched in Fortress Embassy Baghdad. Why, it only cost the Iraqi people about one, one and a half million people to get the Americans to “slave” up Fortress Embassy Baghdad. The U.S. State Department won’t be able to do much in the way of “diplomacy” or other such niceties in Iraq. State won’t be able to leave Fortress Embassy Baghdad. Wait a minute, that was the idea from the git wasn’t it. Somebody made an armored car load of money on this squandered deal. Yes somebody did indeed! What was it that ‘Deep Throat’ stated and succinctly? “Follow the money!” Iraq is awash in money for Americans and those “contractors” that mysteriously appear and then disappear faster than they showed up in the first place. Corruption thy name is Babylon-on-the-Potomac.

Of course Rove “vetted” the 9/11 Commission’s report. Why else would Bush have finally given in to the demand for a “commission” in the first place. When the truth about 9/11 finally comes out in about 40 or 50 years, we’ll all be dead and gone and the real culprits will be dead and gone and what possible difference will it make then. America will be dead and gone. Our grandchildren will hate us with a vengeance for being spineless and weak. Too weak to speak truth to power.

So, there’s been a million innocent Iraqi men, women, and children killed in Bush’s ‘shock and awe’ genocide of Iraq. 4000 fine American service boys and girls killed and how many of America’s fine service boys and girls are left worse than those killed? You know, 4000 and one shouldn’t have to quibble about two or three over or under that number. The violence HAS NEVER relented or abated. One can read Juan Cole for a daily report on the violence. Thanks Professor Cole for your tireless work. Bush’s “surge” is a purge on reality and of course, Bush and his gang of aberrant war criminals wouldn’t know “reality” if it crawled up behind them and bit them squarely on their lying fannies. 935 lies and I find it amazing that someone actually did the math and counted the myriad lies told by Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rummy, and mercy that is a lot of lying. Lying and dying and the torture and the illegal detainees and oh my, ‘we the American people’ are so screwed. How come America’s cowardly Congress hasn’t impeached this pack of venomous vermin?

Vietnam was lost, as is Iraq, by the sheer immorality of the conflict. Corruption ended the Vietnam war as corruption will end Bush’s Iraq genocide. Johnson lied about Vietnam and Bush and his gang of war criminal compatriots have lied 935 lies. It’s the freaking immorality, the torture, the illegal rendition, the illegal detention, the gross inhumanity of Bush, Congress, and the “support” of a distracted American people. Distracted? Gross dereliction of civic duty? Yeah, maybe that’s the one.

We all know perfectly well, Franklin would have used the French language of artistic diplomacy to address any radio audience. Fictional or otherwise. Franklin was contrary if Franklin was anything at all. Me thinks that old Ben would say today, “we’ve given you a republic, if you can keep it.” Wait a minute, old Ben did say that. We’re screwed!

IF the Democrats want to “win” the West, they had better first distance themselves from the War Party. You know, the Washington D.C. ‘elite’ that fulminate war, atrocity, staggering national debt, and the base and senseless slaughter of young Americans with malice aforethought. The Democrats MUST distance themselves from “Crusade” and rendition and detention and especially torture. The Democrats would do well to stop embracing the lies told to Americans by presidents and their venomous vice-presidents, secretary’s of defense, secretary’s of state, and the list could be endless. The Democrats would do well to put some distance between themselves and mainstream media that for some curious reason, seem to feel they can tell America and Western Americans who (whom?) they get to “vote” for in upcoming presidential elections. The Democrats would do well to grow a spine and stand as honest and concerned Americans instead of the Party of whiny wimps that the Democrats have shown themselves to be since 2006. What was it that David Obey said, “we don’t have the votes.” Yeah Davy Gravy, you don’t and won’t until you stop your sycophantic prattle and stand for something, anything that remotely resembles morality and ethical government. What was is it Nancy Pelosi said? Oh right, “impeachment is OFF the table.” Right Pelosi you silly cow, you might want to rethink that stupidity. The Democrats would do well to LEAD instead of follow like mindless war-sheep! From a voter in the deep American West.

Any “mortgage crisis” is a mere ‘tip of the iceberg’ and as America is poised on the brink of an economic collapse of cataclysmic proportion, America’s politicians are clueless. Slapping a happy face on economic doom is politically correct spin. Bush offers up a 2009 ‘budget’ of some three TRILLION dollars and the silence that spreads across the American countryside is appalling. How does America’s future pay that off? Three TRILLION dollars seems like not very much considering what our Congress pisses away on a daily basis for Bush’s “war of terror.” The “mortgage crisis” will hit home when the numbers of ‘homeless Americans’ reaches a critical mass. Where does one go and live after being evicted from a “defaulted on” mortgage and home? Refrigerator boxes will come into increasing demand and say, would that be an answer to America’s ‘homeless’ future?

Now Paul, you say “Hillary IS perfectly positioned to take on McCain…”. Shouldn’t that all depend on what your definition of “is” is? “Is” she or “isn’t” she? I mean you NO disrespect Paul. Ms. Clinton packs a lot of baggage. Not necessarily good baggage. She (Ms. Clinton) does the old chameleon shuffle an awful lot. So “is” that an ‘evolutionary’ thing or, “is” Ms. Clinton simply pandering to that which she feels will get her “baggage” elected? Personally, I think that a “leopard cannot change it’s spots” but, I may be wrong and can admit that readily. I am loath to think that America will chain itself to just another warmongering lunatic for another four or possibly eight years. America cannot afford anymore war OR insane political sycophants shilling for a corporate/special interest elite. “Is” any of this relevant? Germane? Politically incorrect?

Golly Ackerman, are you some kind of anti-fat Mingite? Are you an anti-Mercilessite? Are you an anti-goateeite? Anti-teasite? Anti-New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardsonite? Or…are you just comprehensively bored and had a mite too much coffee this snowy morning? Wait a minute, you’re an anti-MSNBCite! Yeah, we’ll stick with that last one. For nowite!

Hayden and the CIA should be allowed to torture. As long as Hayden, John Yoo, and the CIA command structure have themselves tortured by whatever standards are passable in those ‘clandestine’ halls of horror, first. If it’s good enough for those nasty al-Qaeda farmer types, it ought to be good enough for Hayden and his crew of secretive types. Torture John Yoo simply because the man is an “intellectual fraud” and started most of this torturing nightmare to begin with. Besides, America don’t need no stinkin’ Geneva Convention or the Army Field Manual to “govern” the CIA. Just ask Hayden but be sure and ask Hayden AFTER he’s been tortured.

Well, at least the war criminals in the Bush regime have finally admitted what most, if not all of us, have known for a long time. These United States are ACTIVELY engaging in torture. The freaking Bush ‘war of terror’ wasn’t enough, nope. The Bush war criminals have dragged every last American into their sordid and barbaric plot to overthrow the Constitution of the United States, vacate any and every last treaty the U.S. has entered into, and given America the grand distinction of being worse than Hitler’s Germany. ‘We the people’ are now and “officially” without moral foundation. Simple as that. America’s great experiment in democracy is over. Congress REFUSES to hold these base and soiled traitors to account. Yeah thanks Pelosi. How does it feel being Speaker for the Treason? It damn well is treason! High crimes and misdemeanors, if that’s ALL this were, would be bad enough. It is worse than even the most pessimistic of Americans might have kept to themselves. Storm the gates? Tar and feathers? Impeachment and extradition to the Hague? What a glorious day for American Empire!

Hillary “loaned” herself five million bucks? I guess that means she’s got way too much disposable income. Golly, I wonder how this looks to any American family that just had their home ‘foreclosed’ on. I didn’t know that being a Clinton was such a cash-cow.

Don Nash — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:49:43 GMT

Furthermore, one Les Christie of CNNMoney.com wrote an article dated Feb. 5, 2008 and titled, ‘Foreclosures:100 worst hit zip codes’ and buddy Les says, “foreclosures of all types rose 75 percent in 2007 according to RealtyTrac.” The Clinton’s don’t have to worry about no stinkin’ foreclosures. Nor would the McCains nor the Romneys nor the Obamas nor…hmmm, puts the whole campaign debacle into proper perspective. Hillary “loaned” herself five million. Yup, about says it all.

Don Nash — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:11:24 GMT

Gosh Holly, do you think that Clinton and Obama will break out the ‘mustard gas’? It must be nasty in those trenches. I’m just joshing you a mite. You make an excellent metaphor. Go Adlai!

Don Nash — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:49:17 GMT

So what if the “nearest book near you” doesn’t have a page 123? Well? We’re just supposed to go out and buy a book with at least 123 pages? Is that it? ‘Man up’ Spencer. Any real man would only ever buy a book with 122 pages in it. Criminy dawg, what are you working clandestinely for Barnes and Noble? By the by, tag you’re it!

Don Nash — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:29:17 GMT

Yeah, rattle those cages! Shake the rafters! Raise high the roof beams but, you’re going to need a carpenter. Sorry and my apologies to J.D. Salinger. Get ‘em boys and girls. If TPM has been blacklisted, you are doing the work journalism was meant to do. Get ‘em boys and girls! The criminal vermin that infest America’s government at present MUST be surgically excised for the sake of our Union.

But, but, but, the Iraq war is about weapons of mass destruction. The Iraq war is about those icky nasty al-Qaeda farmer types. You know, all those icky al-Qaeda farmer types they’ve got holed up in Camp X-Ray freaking Guantanamo Hell-Hole. The Iraq war is about Saddam Hussein pulling off 9/11/01. Iraq had nukes. Iraq had good intentions of using those nukes on Amerika! Wasn’t the Iraq war about all those beneficial “ancillary benefits” that Tucker Carlson was so adamant about pre-Iraq genocide? Let me see, what did it say? Oh right, “the NECESSITY of the war overwhelms the mistakes that the U.S. has made.” MISTAKES? What? You mean to tell me that there were “mistakes” made? No way! Well maybe a couple. You know like, the entire Iraq preemptive fiasco being like illegal. An illegal war of naked aggression. Wow, didn’t the world go like absolutely ballistic on Adolf Hitler for you know, a war of naked aggression? Wow, I’m certainly not comparing the precious U.S. of preemptive A. to Hitler’s Germany. Nah. Like hell I’m not. Where is the MORAL difference and I don’t give a flying rat’s posterior what Packer and what’s his name have to say on any of it. So, what exactly is “significant” and what is “insignificant?” Would presidential treason be significant or insignificant?
