AlterNet: Rights and Liberties: Falwell and Savage Christians: A Legacy of Hate and Violence: "Christians perpetrated the crusades, the inquisition, the slave trade and imperial adventures too numerous to mention. It may be comforting to pat ourselves on the back and consign those behaviors to past centuries. We are living in the 21st century after all. Who would use the name of the Christian God to justify mass killing? A majority of modern day American Christians, that's who."

Bush's failed campaign to rebrand America

Bush's failed campaign to rebrand America. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine

For a free and accessible internet

Don't Let AT&T Ruin the Internet

The FCC is about to auction off a significant chunk of our public airwaves to the giant telecom companies -- AT&T and Verizon -- who want to make our Internet less free. The official comment period is closing May 30th, but you can still urge key commissioners directly to stop ATT and Verizon from ruining our Internet before it's too late.

The upcoming auction of the 700 megahertz slice of the spectrum concerns invaluable frequencies that are particularly well suited to wireless broadband because they can easily pass through walls. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save room on the spectrum for universal broadband access, and to apply the rules of Net Neutrality to our mobile phones as well as our Internet.

But phone and cable lobbyists are currently pressuring the FCC to sell companies like AT&T and Verizon our airwaves -- in a flawed auction process -- so they can hoard this valuable spectrum, and stifle competitive and cheaper alternatives to their established networks.

Not only has Big Telecom facilitated illegal Bush administration wiretapping of American citizens, but they refuse to open their networks to competitive applications and services. They lobby Washington to stifle new innovations like Internet phone service and to destroy Net Neutrality, the one principle that protects equal opportunity and free choice on the Web. We need to end their stranglehold and demand better Internet and mobile services for everyone.

Tell the FCC: use public airwaves for the public good instead of giving away our wireless Internet to these price-gouging, privacy violating, anti-Net-Neutrality giants.

House GOP fear fallout from ethics cases

House GOP fear fallout from ethics cases - Yahoo! News: "Jessica Boulanger, spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Democratic attacks on the ethics front will have little effect. Democrats, she said, 'are proving incapable of governing, so it's no wonder they're dusting off their '06 playbook in an effort to hide their failed leadership.'"

Incapable of governing? Failed leadership? What dimension does she live in?

Five men, kidnaped right out of the Finance Ministry in broad daylight by forty men in police uniforms and driven off in 19 vehicles. Two kidnapped from the American Embasy. I'm sure Bush will try to spin this as proff that the surge is working.

Evangelicals Search for a Political Savior

Evangelicals Search for a Political Savior - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com

I think I have the answer to the evangelicals political problem. They say "believe in god" and "trust god" How about "vote for god". They can do it as a write in vote. This way they would do no harm. Actually it would be "do no more harm". They did saddle the country with Bush. The only good that came out of that was to prove Newt Gengrich was wrong when he said "If the Soviet empire still existed, I'd be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.".
