..And Pat Buchanan knows it.......

Today is the Anniversary of my good American Republican parents from Pennsylvania. In honor of my late father-the quintessential good and righteous man I write this.

When Ronald Reagan Jr. says "American soldiers are torturing prisoners of War" it makes Rumsfeld's statement that those against the Iraq war are "intellectually or morally confused" or
Chamberlain appeaser protegees
look more than silly- it looks, like most of what Rumsfeld does- plainly sick, sickening and deceitful. My father, son of a WWII Vet, himself a Korean War Vet who interned for Eisenhower, would be thoroughly disgusted.
Bush's current blundering PR offensive around the country to preach that those against our currently pathetically dangerously misguided foreign policy are 'Nazi appeasers' is grossly insulting, deeply offensive and is going to backfire. It, like most everything that has come from this paid PR offensive of this Administration is just wrong, deceitful, deceptive, and shameful garbage spin.
This Administration has built a foreign policy on a House of joker cards with the windows punched out sitting in a sewage sludge swamp against the better advice of just about everybody, including his own father. Bush's crew has created straw men, myths and hoaxes to propel a nation into serving its financial interests which are not the interests-either security interests or financial interests- of the nation as a whole-and the Nation as a whole is waking up, fed up and disgusted. It has engaged this PR offensive with rude, blistering, ignorant assaults by people who know better but behave instead like little hysterical school yard bullies.
My advice- just stop listening to them. Change the channel. Give the Rove play-book away to the next mission crate traveling to the Dominican Republic because its only redeeming value is that it might teach someone to read.

My applause goes to Keith Olberman of MSNBC whose retort to Rumsfeld's diatribe is worth reading in full.
Additionally Ronnie Duetch of the Big Idea gets a spine award for telling Ann Coulter she was "just being ignorant" when refering to anyone who doesn't equate defense of America with this wrongheaded war and the Fear Tour strategy as not "worshipping the God of Abraham." This lady is a person who has threatened and/or wished bodily harm on Supreme Court justices, Bill Clinton and now Lincoln Chaffee-and she wonders why no one dignifies her drivel by taking the bait for a high school debate with her. She should get less main stream press play than Courtney Love on a crack binge. But Cheney's idea of a press offensive is apparently get hysterical bleach belching blondes like Hanreity to scream "wooowooowooo they are going to kill me if we don't massacre them first!!" You can't want cute blonde women to die horrible deaths at the hands of muslim rapists! I am looking for Simon Legree in a Kafkan.

I am starting to get a crush on Keith Olberman because he seems like the only person in the world who is willing to take these people on with the same force that they dish out. Only he has clarity and sense.

Here is what I want to see the Main Stream Press looking at (and I am dismayed they have dropped the ball so far)
Think on this-
The Mayor of Shanksville, Sommerset County, Pennsylvania, the town in which the United flight that the LetsRoll characters allegedly brought the plane down swears no plane was ever in that huge smoking hole we all saw in Shanksville. He talked to everyone relevant, he went to the site, he did his research. NO PLANE PEOPLE IN SHANKSVILLE.
The Central Pennsylvanians who went to look were all mystified. What plane? Look closely at the video footage- did you ever see a plane? Did you ever see parts of a plane in that hole or anywhere around it? Did you ever see bodies being removed from the hole? No bodies. No Plane. So what the---A missle hit just miles from the Rolling Rock Country Club in Ligonner where every big money Republican name on the planet golfs including the infamous Mellon Schaiffe and the less famous my uncle Mike.
It has been reported, and begs for deeper verification, that there were bodies, according to eye witness accounts instead floating in Indian Lake, still in Sommerset County about ten miles away which apparently dropped from the sky. They were found at the Marina in Indian Lake. Why would there be bodies ten miles away that dropped from the sky. This is more consistent with the eye witness accounts that an F16 bearing missile attacked the plane and it was downed closer to New Baltimore, Pennsylvania (with the evidence of the missile hit destroyed with the plane and bodies) while everyone was sent to Shanksville to look at a smoking hole. The existence of bodies ten miles away is consistent only with the fact that the flight was shot down mid-air, not that it actually crashed fully in tact.
Indian Lake Pennsylvania is a development that was built around an artificial lake whose signature feature is a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer who had a home on the Lake. Its a beautiful peaceful beucolic serene place. It's a summer retreat for the most part with more residents going there on weekends or in the summer. My grandparents in fact had a summer home there and I went there for some part of most summers for about fifteen years of my youth. Bodies falling out of the sky or floating in the Lake would be a shocking unforgettable event to anyone who saw it. It should not be too difficult to find the people who saw floating bodies in the lake by the Marina in 2001. What did they do to identify these bodies? Why isn't the press tracking down this information?

Similarly there never was a plane found, nor could one have fit in the hole in the Pentagon. The exit hole in the rear was apparently perfect missile circle. In the new movie On Native Soil, which they are playing nonstop on CNN and which you can get at the video store now, Condi Rice said no one could have anticipated that these terrorists would use airplanes "like a missile." What a freudian slip. That's because in two cases, they didn't - more likely the government used airplanes to mask the use of CIA missiles that created the illusion they wanted. Rumsfeld himself freudian slipped and said "the missile that hit the Pentagon." Similarly there have been Rumsfeld slips saying things like those terrorists who "shot down the plane in Pennsylvania." Look closely- google, lexis, ask jeeves or dig in dogpile-however you do your research. But do it. Look closely, don't just eat the government pork. Look to see whether an entire country has been lied to in the most cynically obscene self serving manner and tell me whether you trust them to speak to Iran or N.Korea. I wouldn't let them babysit a pet cat.

Rumsfeld won't resign because he knows that in this crooked fixed poker game he threw in the chips of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and thousands of American soliders lives and he knows where the bodies are buried and the cash is hidden. He knows that the person coming after him cleaning house is going to find things under the floorboards and behind the trick panels in the parlor that could put those folks away for a long long time.

This is a Democracy but only so long as we keep it. If it is going to work you have a duty to educate yourself beyond what the government paid media has fed you. The government by the way commissions so called documentaries and docudramas on the discovery and history channels.
You have to do your own research.
And you have to
vote and make it count.

That is what people like us-we, who are not intellectually or morally confused do. We, the People.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad.
