TEN NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FOR PROGRESSIVES
This came through my e-mail today… (by Carl J. Mayer)
1) I will never, ever, let so-called progressive leaders and corporate Democrats tell me I have to vote for a pro-war candidate to end a war and achieve peace.

FBI: US Military Wrapped Detainees In Israeli Flags
I think this speaks for itself…
“WASHINGTON — FBI agents have lodged repeated complaints of physical and mental mistreatment of prisoners held in Iraq and Cuba, saying in reports that military officials have placed lighted cigarettes in detainees’ ears and humiliated Arab captives by wrapping Israeli flags around them, according to new documents released Monday.”

An open letter to Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Rabbis for Human Rights
RHR is a somewhat well known Israeli organization supposedly fighting for human rights. Recently they published a somewhat nasty letter condemning the Presbyterians for beginning a divestment process against companies involved in the brutal Israeli occupation. This is my response to that letter.
Dear Rabbi Ascherman,
You probably do not remember me, but we […]
US Isn’t Winning Against Iraqi Insurgents, Agencies Warn
Good morning Vietnam! Err I mean VietIraq! Err Viraq? Good morning Iraq!
Once again. Did we not tell them so? Did we not protest by the millions in the streets, saying that the very things happening in Iraq now (house-by-house fighting, a quagmire) will happen?

Are they insane? No, just money-hungry…
So it looks like our new Secretary of State Condi-Betray-All-That-You-Are Rice is going to be pushing us into a cold war posture against Russia.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Really, can’t the apocalypse wait?!

Racist pigs. Plain and simple.
I am not sure why, but I read this as good reason to curtail religion period in this country. The right-wing lunatics are leading us right into a religious war.
MSNBC - Poll shows U.S. views on Muslim-Americans

Aljazeera.Net - The risks of the al-Zarqawi myth
Scott Ritter, former chief nuclear weapons inspector for the United Nations has written an incredible article giving a very to-the-point analysis of the uprising against the American occupation of Iraq.
It is just so amusing that the Americans haven’t learned from the Israelis — occupation DOES NOT WORK. People do not like to […]
Army friends line up to attack Rumsfeld
You know Rummy’s in trouble when even William Kristol is calling for his resignation. Sadly, he wasn’t in nearly as much hot water when thousands of American citizens did the same thing last year. And as the good folks over at The Left Coaster point out, now’s a horribly convenient time for Kristol, […]
I Pledge Allegiance to No One
By Stephen DeVoy from http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/12/305622.shtml
Every morning Elizabeth joined her classmates in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. She never thought about what it meant, she just followed through with the other students repeating the words which came out like one very long run-on sentence. It was a mechanical exercise.
