A new movie has been released today that purports to tell the story of a little know religious war that occurred in Mexico in the 1920s. The war is referred to in Mexico as the "Cristero" or "Christ the King" revolt. The movie released today and that has been panned by critics, yet lauded by catholics and right wingers alike is "For Greater Glory." The problem with a movie like this, as is with most historical movies, is that it comes with an agenda.

For those of us who live in Phoenix, Arizona, we've been without our fix of Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Randi, Mike Malloy for the better part of a year. While surfing the web, it seems that Dr. Mike Newcomb might have rebuilt liberal talk in Arizona.

Several days ago or so, a U.S. rep was qouted that President Obama said he was willing to be a one term president over health care reform. The truth of the matter is that if health reform is passed without a public option, he will be a one term president. Despite want the polls or the 24hr news channels are saying, Americas respect a president who is a leader and willing to make tough choices and decisions. If he does, Obama will be guarenteed another four years and the GOP will be ineffectual for a generation, never able to control the majority in congress for that time.

This is a song from Hip Hop artist and Movie star, Ice Cube. Some of the images may be shocking but I think that's his point. Especially in light of a culture who blames everyone else but themseleves.

Not sure if you've got a chance to see this video from a website called amigos de obama. I heard it and it is pretty catchy. Of course soon enough there will be one for Hillary.

A new challenger has entered the congressional race for the seat currently occupied by Rick Renzi. With all due respect to Ellen Simon, who I thought was a good candidate, this one may be even better.

Former T.V. reporter and Native American rights advocate Mary Kim Titla, has decided to enter the race for congressional district 01. See here

While Ellen Simon has great credentials, I believe that Mary Kim has the best shot of taking the district from Renzi, whether or not he decides to run or is unable to run. With the district covering parts of the Navajo, Hopi, Hualapi, and Havasupi, she has instant name recognition with Native Americans.

I personally am excited and believe we may have our first Native American women in congress.

Last week, State reprsentative Russell Pearce, in a debate show on the local NPR station, argued for a return of a mass deportation program. He cited "Operation Wetback", as an example of a successful mass deportation effort on that part of the government. (Go to this: http://kjzz.org/... to listen to the actual debate.) Read More

Recently, Stephen Colbert interviewed executive director of the Catholic League's William Donahue. Donahue spoke mainly of the need for morality in the country and the evils of "secular leftists".

Well, in an attempt to make some point on immigration (or just being a blowhard), he states that he is a native american and the Native Americans are not even from "here" since they came from asia. Donahue says, "I'm a native American. I was born in New York City, and those people came from Asia so they're not really native Americans anyhow." Read More

In case anyone missed it this morning, Pat Robertson on his 700 club "news" program featured Joseph Libermann and the Conneticut primary.

He starts by stating that, "...[M]any democrats including his former running mate Al Gore, won't lift a finger to help him."

While the "news" report is skewed toward the "I can't believe liberals are doing this to him," there is an interesting section in the report which summerizes several disagreements progressives have with Libermann other than the war.

In the report Libermann calls people who are against him "hotheads." He laments that a so-called "test" as to who can be a democrat will lead to that party being a "minority party."

The report claims that there are more independents and republicans who are planning to vote in the general primary for Libermann and in a 3 way race, Joe Libermann will win. Read More
