So a friend just posted on Facebook that Fox News is reporting on this guy Jason Levin that has a web site called http://www.crashtheteaparty.org/... The purpose is to organize an effort to infiltrate the TEA party movement and cause embarrassment by being crazier than they are while wearing their shirts. So Fox News is reporting on it with this story: Web Site Vows to Infiltrate Tea Party Movement

The following comes from my wife, a teacher. She signed up but cannot write a diary for a week on a pressing issue to her. So I lend her my voice.

I first became aware that the President was going to give a speech to school children when one of my conservative friends posted a note on her Facebook profile, stating that her child would not be allowed to view it. I followed her link and found a hotbed discussion going on, parents complaining and protesting that like Hitler, Obama was trying to indoctrinate our children with his socialist agenda. How dare he address the children of this nation during school hours, without their parents' consent? This of course piqued my curiosity and I began researching the speech and the history of other Presidential speeches made to school children. I have since learned that both Bushes and Reagan made speeches directly to school children, during school hours.

The case for torture does exist. It exists in that realm of plausibility that is so remote its just not going to happen. It makes for entertaining movies and suspense filled television shows but thats about it. Its not impossible, but its so close it may as well be fantasy. From all accounts that situation has yet to happen. CIA interrogators have come out to say that torture just doesn't work and that the ticking time bomb scenario just doesn't happen in real life. The administration says they tortured the subjects at Guantanamo because they feared nuclear weapons had been smuggled in to the United States and were being prepared to destroy a city. First of all I think this is a lie made up to cover their asses. This is the same administration that warned of mushroom clouds and WMDs in Iraq. They'll say anything to justify whatever goal they seek. If they were feeding off of "chatter" then they were suckers. Its the wolves at the door fear mongering we should be used to by now. Second, fear is not enough to justify torturing someone. Just because you have a bug up your ass does not mean you go torturing someone to see if you should have a bug up your ass.

Someone kidnaps an Israeli soldier so Israel bombs the power plant and conducts group punishment of the civilians in Gaza. Civilians are killed and we all know Israel can walk through that area with no real opposition. They claim its to get the soldier back but that makes no sense. If anything he would come back in a body bag after these kinds of disproportionate attacks. It seems more an excuse to reoccupy. Then the same thing happens from Beirut and they begin the same disproportionate attack, they bomb the airport and other civilian targets and warn of an invasion. They do flybys over the Syrian presidents house. Considering how screwed up the whole situation is I can only see this as a way of provoking a larger fight with Syria. Read More

So the next thing Republicans want to do is put Dems on the spot for aiding the enemy, thats the basic jist of their argument. I don't get it. I dont see how people fall for this crap. I only know that they will. Accused terrorists right now have no rights. A military tribunal would be a kangaroo court. Our society is built around two very important principles. Do not have blind faith in government and do not have blind faith in the military. How is it that giving them the basic right to a trial, to defend themselves against accusations of an out of control administration and bounty hunters in their home country, how is that giving them "special" treatment. Do we not believe in justice here in America. The guilty may go free, The innocent may be put in prison, justice is not perfect. It only strives to be and thats all we can do to keep our society free. We must at least try. Read More
