Greetings to all:
All Democrats and Liberal Progressives must see this video. I discovered it a couple of days ago and I can't stop playing it. Although the language is certainly not p.c., it cuts to the bone in terms of what happened and what continues to happen following the debacle that was the Republican-led federal governemts response to the Katrina hurricane. The link is as follows:

Please check it out, it is powerful.

I wanted to voice this on the Kos platform, so here it goes. First, I am no big fan of Howard Dean, in fact, I supported Wesley Clark during the primaries. My mission (at the time) was to stop the Dean juggernaut and his "Deaniacs" by any means necessary. Yet, even with that being the case, I thought Dean got a raw deal when he got slammed by the press for "going off" after the Iowa caucuses (we can't possibly suffer a politico with passion, right? what would the neighbors think?). I now understand and appreciate that Howard Dean and Joe Trippi, his campaign manager, are political geniuses and that Dean has alot more to offer than I first thought. Dean, like the phoenix rising, is now coming out of the ashes that was his failed presidential bid and making a political comeback,...a powerplay that will certainly rock the foundations of the American political system.

As the title suggests, it should not be that surprising that a GOoPer pulled this kind of a**-out stunt at Auschwitz of all places. I mean, Republicans are not known for their keen sense of compassion or bleeding hearts. That would require a sense of what John Donne was reaching for (and captured)when he wrote "...For whom the Bell Tolls...it tolls for thee...". But that is another discussion. More to the point, I want to consider two possibilities, one possibility more sound than the other. First, the soundest excuse: Dick (now we know why they call him that...if the shoe fits, right?) Cheney is not a well-man, that fact is well-known. So, in a nutshell, he was simply trying to maintain his health by wearing a heavy, military-style parka at the event/dedication in the spirit of his first priority being to the security of the United States,i.e., maintaining his viability in the chain of command sense/line of succession(Pres.,Vice-Pres., Speaker of the House, etc, etc.).

A Marines' Psych. Eval. of HRH Harry, 3rd In Line

Prince Harry's outrageous behavior this past week has left the U.K. gasping for its collective breath. I mean, if it weren't for the RAF, Hitlers Operation Sea Lion would have been a roaring success (no pun intended) for the Nazis and England would have become incorporated into the Third Reich. How could a member of the British royal family, whose own relatives served in the great struggle to rid the world of Hitler and his kind, do such a blasphemous thing and wear such a grotesque uniform? Here's what an ol' devildog thinks: Prince Harry is (unfortunately) saddled with a number of emotional problems that stem from his believing that he is NOT Prince Charles's son, as well as (most certainly) the tragic loss and the controversy surrounding the passing of his much beloved mother, Princess Diana.

Dear Fellow Kossites:

I have been noticing for a while now (over the last few months actually) how it seems the GOP has a new semantic strategy in that they are now referring to the Democratic Party as the "Democrat" Party. Has anyone else out there noticed this sad, fascist GOoPer attempt at doublespeak? This really came home during the past great week while the Ohio electors were contested in Congress (thank goodness for Sen. Boxer and Rep. Tubbs-Jones). A number of GOoPers (both in the House and the Senate)continuously referred to the Democratic Party as the "Democrat" Party. I found this to be jarring and obnoxious and (as far as I was concerned) the last straw. Those bastards will stop and nothing to try to erode what so many have stood up for and (sadly) been felled for. It's like the GOP has been taken over by a gang of sophomoric, pubescent boys giggling and thinking of little smartass ways of operating and sniping at their opponents. Read More

Want some feedback folks. Like the Bob Dylan song, I can feel this is in the wind, and its labeled "...coming in 2005". Ladies and gentleman, this Administration, this nation IS GOING to attack Syria sometime this year. Moreover, as for all of my fellow veterans, military historians, analysts, operations officers, etc. this is not news. We've known this for awhile. However, it's 2005 now, and the election is over(maybe), and this is now the "mean season", militarily speaking. In fact, if I had to bet (and I'm not a betting man) the odds are far greater that the U.S. will attack Syria than attack North Korea. So, my question is this: when "we" attack Syria, with the primary mission being to neutralize and eradicate insurrgent platforms/bases of operation, neutralize Ba'ath leadership and elements in exile, and facilitate the dismantling of the Bashir Assad regime, what will happen next? Will this be a blip on the radar, or will there be severe consequences in terms of Americas foreign policy, especially in the Middle East? Read More

This is incredible, absolutely incomprehensible. I didn't believe the rumours. I didn't want to believe them. I mean, I like Dr. Rice, sort of. She's competent and a professional and she seems to have a genuine desire to serve our country(regardless of how misguided she actually is). But is Bush actually saying that he wants absolutely NO DISSENT, absolutely no "back-talk" in the Executive branch of our government? I didn't want to believe it, but I had to once I saw it on live tv. Can we all say "Die Nacht der Langen Messer" or "The Night of the Long Knives", it's the grand purging of dissent all over again. I mean Twain was only half right when he said "...history doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.". With all due respect to Mr. Twain, it seems like it is repeating with Bush taking a play right out of A.H.'s playbook. Read More

Help...I'm lost. I've served our country in the Armed Forces (the Marines specifically), I believed once. In fact, I was a "Marine's Marine" in mind, body and spirit. I truly believed. Now, I find myself wandering in a wilderness and wondering if this election was a fraud. The Marine in me wants to believe, wants to believe in the fairness and goodness of America. But disturbing questions keep popping up, for example: Diebold voting machines, were they rigged? Is all the anecdotal evidence about pressing button for Kerry, and Bush lighting up, are these stories true? Where were most of these touch screen voting machines? In battleground states?, in Mid-Western states?, in places that were strategically key?, where were they? Is the Democratic leadership so unwilling to fight it out and risk serious altercations just to keep the peace and not "rock the boat"? Is that why Kerry conceded so quickly? Read More

I posted this as a comment, but I wanted to to "p.a." it so here it is:
To all those young kids out there that decided not to vote and to all the parents of young adult children that voted for Bush in those screwed up red states, all I have to say is this:as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I don't want to hear any bitchng or complaining when the draft comes down and scoops your youngin' off to death in any number of the jacked-up wars that are now on the Bush horizon. And be advised, when a draft comes, you don't have the luxury of choosing a branch to serve in(as you do in peacetime), it is chosen for you. In other words, since these are essentially scheme and maneuver, land assault conflicts now and to come(ie, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, etc.)and not surface warfare or air war evolutions...please raise your right hand as you are pressed into service and told "...welcome to the US Army and the US Marines boys and girls".

I know this is a short diary, but I had to put it down short and sweet. Just like the line from the great Civil War movie "Glory" baby, "...it's time to ante up and kick in, like men!!!". If "The General" doesn't concede, I aint conceding a damn thing!!!This ain't over, not by a long shot. My fellow Democrats, to arms, to arms! In the figurative sense, of course...for now. 2000 and 2004, what's good for the goose is good for the gander I always say. Florida all over again, but this time Ohio-style baby. Word to Karl Rove and company: Paybacks a bitch, isn't it. Semper Fidelis.
