Judgement Day

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals today ordered that well known malicious prosecutor and progressive liberal demoracist enforcer, Ronnie Earle, to go to trial on the Tom DeLay case within the week. Obviously they agree with the defendant's attorney (Dick DeGuerin)who stated in filings with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals,

"The state's appeal is intended to perpetuate legally baseless charges in order to deprive Congressman DeLay of his elected position as majority leader of the United States House of Representatives."

Ronnie Earle wants to prosecute Tom DeLay for an alleged violation of a law that was enacted after the alleged violation. Isn't that what they call ex post facto? You don't need to be a Clarence Darrow to figure this one out.

Tom DeLay is totally innocent of all charges brought by the demoracist enforcer, Ronnie Earle. It is just a question of when justice will be finally done.

How Smart Are Liberals?

There are some interesting clues in this story, 'Hardball' Host Takes Hard Knocks From Right and Left, By Nathan Burchfiel, CNSNews.com Correspondent, December 28, 2005. It seems that both the "left" and the "right" do not think much of the intellectual light-weight, Chris Matthews.

Matthews received the coveted "Crazy Chris Award for Chris Matthews' Left-Wing Lunacy," for the classic pseudo intellectual progressive liberal demoracist observation that anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, "sound[s] more informed than most U.S. Congress people.” He also suggested that she run for office. This award was part of the annual "Best of Notable Quotables," from Brent Bozell's Media Research Center.

We go to the criticism of the "left" to answer the question of "how smart are liberals?" Media Matters for America awarded Matthews the "Misinformer of the Year" award. Obviously out of concern for the limited intellectual capacity of knee jerk liberals they harpooned Matthews for not making clear that a guest may be a dreaded Republican while emphasizing progressive liberal guests’ credentials. Are they saying that progressive liberals have difficulty identifying who is "left" and whose "right" without help?

Even more critical to answering the question are the Media Matters for America's criticisms of some Matthew's quotes about President Bush that are taken out of context. These people are a hoot. Go read the article for yourself to answer the question and have a good laugh.

Christmas With Big Bubba

Big Bubba, the chef, will be serving a very modest menu of baked ham, rolls, candied yams with marshmallows, green bean cassarole, lasagna and ambrosia. The corporation has collected the necessary money and I am ready to go shopping for the feast.

Sunday we will all gather to celebrate the holiday at the Brooklyn wiseguys apartment. The Jewish Doc, the South Texas Mexican, the Boston dimbulb who never contributes money, my sister and I. If you wondered about the lasagna on the menu it's not for the Brooklyn wiseguy, it's for our good friend the Doc. The Big Trucker Boy won't be there since he is on the road with Werner Enterprises somewhere unknown.

It should be a great New Year for all. The Big Trucker Boy has a new job, the Doc's new house construction should be done, the Brooklyn wiseguy may possibly have a few winning bets, my sister is off parole, the Mexican Kid will complete his real estate deal and the Boston dimbulb will continue to sponge. Big Bubba has had sixty straight good years and I know this one will be yet another.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!
Feliz Navidad y Prospero Nuevo Ano a Todos!

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to All

This is a special time of year where Christians and Jews alike wish peace and good will to all mankind. Merry Christmas to all and a happy and prosperous New Year.

From a Christmas long ago this card from the Korean DMZ. This card is being widely circulated this Christmas amongst Imjin Scouts and other veterans of the Second Infantry Division, the Second to None Division (2-2-0).

From the distance of time those were some very special Holiday times where we were privileged to serve our country.

Take Your Pick - War Against Christmas or Ignorance

Thank you John Gibson for taking a stand.

"[A] father asked the principal, 'What is that tree down the hall?' The principal beamed proudly. 'That is our friendship tree.' 'Why don't you call it what it is: a Christmas Tree?' the father asked. 'Oh, we're trying to make sure we don't offend people. It's better to call it a 'friendship tree,' the principal replied. Thinking back on the incident a few months later, the father took a grim satisfaction that he had changed the outlook of the principal of this expensive private school in the New York City suburbs. But not by argument or persuasion. 'I told him if that tree wasn't a Christmas tree tomorrow, I would be taking my son out of the school, and I would be making certain the other parents I know, who also pay tens of thousands of dollars to the school, would learn how their children were being taught incorrectly. We all know what a Christmas tree is, and I want my son to know what a Christmas tree is. I have no idea what a friendship tree is and I'm [quite] certain that principal didn't either." —John Gibson

Washington's "Vision" Everywhere on the Internet

It is very easy to find Washington's "Vision" on the Internet. Thousands and thousands of websites have posted the "vision." The question is whether or not the vision actually occured. This site has the vision and I will go with their analysis of the "vision."

William Jefferson Clinton Day

December 18, 1998, President Clinton was impeached by the Republican-controlled House for perjury and obstruction of justice (he was later acquitted by the Senate). In honor of that auspicious occasion today is officially declared William Jefferson Clinton Day at Big Bubba’s Big Blog.

William Jefferson Clinton’s comment on that very special day could have been,

"Sometimes I feel like a fire hydrant looking at a pack of dogs." --Bill Clinton

Fortunately he was able to exercise selective amnesia because he did state,

"If a president of the United States ever lied to the American People, he should resign." --Bill Clinton

He further regaled us during that time with several more classic quotes,

"It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is." –Bill Clinton

"It depends on how you define alone…" –Bill Clinton

"I did not have sex with that woman " –Bill Clinton

"What's a man got to do to get in the top fifty?" –Bill Clinton, when informed that a survey of journalists ranked as the 53rd most significant story of the century the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

William Jefferson Clinton, at the U.N. global warming summit,

"There's no longer any serious doubt that climate change is real, accelerating and caused by human activities. We are uncertain about how deep and time of arrival of the consequences, but we are quite clear that they will not be good,"

William Jefferson Clinton offered rock solid proof of global warming from his private collection. Here it is,



Here are some more classic William Jefferson Clinton quotes,

I like to play saxophone because you don't inhale. --Gov. Bill Clinton

When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it and didn't inhale and never tried it again. --Gov. Bill Clinton

"The United States can't be so fixed on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..." --Bill Clinton

"I ask that all Americans demonstrate in their personal and public lives...the high ethical standards that are essential to good character and to the continued success of our nation." -- Bill Clinton

"You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy" —Bill Clinton

"You live in a country that makes it harder to raise children than any other country in the world. You vote for me and I'll give you family values." -- Bill Clinton

"I've been in politics long enough to expect criticism and hostility. But I was unprepared for the hatred I get from Christians. Why do Christians hate so much?" --Bill Clinton

"I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions." -- Bill Clinton

"Usually briefs." –Bill Clinton, responding to MTV 1994 town hall question

"The Bible is the authoritative Word of God and contains all truth" --Bill Clinton

"I may not have been the greatest president, but I've had the most fun eight years." –Bill Clinton

And one final quote from former First Lady Barbara Bush,

"Clinton lied. A man might forget where he parks or where he lives, but he never forgets oral sex, no matter how bad it is." --Barbara Bush

Big Bubba's Take On War Heros in the News

Representative John Murtha, D-Pa, was the first war hero to appear on the radar screen recently. He expressed his opinion about our American Fighting Men and the war in Iraq. Drill Sergeant Big Bubba used to inform his trainees that "opinions are like noses - everybody has one." I believe that we may have actually used another part of the human anatomy than noses.

I have not been able to determine very much specific information about Senator Murtha's military service. He volunteered for the Marine Corps in 1952. He rose through the ranks to Captain. He left Marine Corps active duty in 1959 for the Marine Reserve.

He remained a Marine Reservist until he volunteered for a tour of duty in the Republic of Viet Nam. It appears that unlike Hanoi John he actually served for 12 months and then returned to the Marine Reserves.

Senator Murtha retired from the Marine Corps Reserves in 1990 as a Colonel. I very much admire the fact that Colonel Murtha volunteered for an active duty tour in the Republic of Viet Nam.

What is significant about Senator Murtha's service? Most of his service was spent in the Reserves. He was a Colonel, a rank of special trust and responsibility. But, that was in the reserves. Old soldiers often joke that at the Pentagon the Lieutenant Colonels' job is to make the office coffee. Senator Murtha rose above that level, but never served at the Pentagon or any high position of trust and responsibility.

I don't believe that it was ever reported that Colonel Murtha was sighted conferring with Abrams, MacNamara, President Johnson or any other President or high ranking official about military affairs when he was in the Marines. I am sure that he was never responsible for proposing national policy and strategy. His command level would be brigade which is not remarkable.

I respect Senator Murtha and admire his accomplishments, however, basically he did what a few million other guys did. He served in uniform.

Senator Daniel Inouye, D-Hi, is a genuine war hero. He also rose through the ranks from Private to Captain in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the famous "Go for Broke" regiment. The 442nd RCT will always have a special place in the heart of members of The Great State of Texas' Fightin' 36th Infantry Division because of their famous rescue of the "Lost Battalion" in Italy during WWII.

The 442nd was an all Japanese unit that not only had to avoid death in combat, but also the racism of the Army of that day. Senator Inouye endured specific acts of racism best exemplified by being the recipient of a Distinguished Service Cross for an act of bravery that was absolutely incredible. He should have received a Medal of Honor. Senator Inouye was awarded the Medal of Honor for that act of bravery in 1990.

His act of bravery cost him his arm and twenty months in military hospitals before he was discharged back to civilian life. Senator Inouye became a lawyer and has spent his life in the service of his country.

He did serve, however, he was not on General Marshall's staff at the Pentagon. He didn't sit down with Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin at Yalta. He was a foot soldier in Italy like many, many others.

It is being reported that Senator Inouye in a press release critical of the Republican "white flag" advertisement stated ,"As a Veteran of World War II, I know what it’s like to fight a war and put your life on the line every day. I also know what it takes to win a war, and I know that politics and an attack machine like the President’s plays no part in it."

Senator Inouye is either very naive, or he thinks we are very naive, if he believes that politics do not play a part in winning any war. If Senator Inouye had attained high military office he undoubtedly would have been introduced to Vom Krieg by General Carl Phillip Gottfried von Clausewitz (1780-1831). General von Clausewitz tells us that,

"War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means."

Senator Inouye and Murtha are fine gentlemen and I respect their military service. They undoubtedly have insights into military service that only those who have served will have. That is all very special, however, if this country ever had to depend on Captain Inouye, Private Kennedy, Colonel Murtha, Sergeant Rangel, or Captain McCain for the military expertise necessary to conduct the operations of our military forces we would be in trouble.

It is a dangerous trend that we are on to worship at the feet of those who merely served and treat them as sacred cows beyond reproach or questioning. Military service remains an asset when seeking a job in civilian life, or in running for political office. We need to keep such service in perspective for what it actually represents.

Today's Teapot Tempest Courtesy Senator Barbara Boxer

The intellectually vacuous Barbara Boxer has requested Secretary of the Army Francis J. Harvey investigate why a California family suffered the terrible experience of having the remains of their son, killed in action in Iraq, returned to them on a civilian airliner with no ceremony at the airport. Hey folks, I don’t want to hurt your feelings about the ceremony and stuff, but, your son was not exactly a General Patton. He was an Army Specialist killed in the line of duty in the service of his country. He will be honored with a military burial ceremony.

Feel blessed that your son has been returned to you. Prior to the Korean War the dead were not routinely returned home. Your son had a military escort from Dover Air Force Base to San Diego. This has been the procedure of the military for years. Fifty years ago my father escorted a coffin from Elmendorf Air Force Base to the states. Here’s another news flash for you Barbara. Coffins are routinely returned home in this country by commercial airline. No one is going to pay for a cross country hearse.

What has cheapened this whole affair is Barbara Boxer’s mishandling of this affair. First of all Senators normally turn requests for assistance over to the Representative of the district the requestor resides. Obviously Barbara Boxer’s hatred of George Bush, his policies and the Iraq situation caused her to violate protocol and attempt to cause an embarrassing incident. The only embarrassing incident here is Barbara Boxer.

Army defends transporting of dead to U.S. on commercial flights
By Leo Shane III, Stars and Stripes
European edition, Wednesday, December 14, 2005

WASHINGTON — Defense officials confirmed this week that the bodies of deceased troops are usually transported as freight on commercial airlines, but they insisted the practice is not unusual or disrespectful.

The practice came under scrutiny this week after Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., helped arrange an honor guard to welcome the body of a San Diego soldier, Spc. Matthew Holley, killed in Iraq in mid-November.

Those Wild and Crazy Canuck Politicos

Seems Prime Minister Paul Martin got a little petulant with Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice about "American guns" causing problems for Canada. Canada has thrown billions down the rathole pursing their national policy of gun confiscation and restrictive gun ownership laws. The whole process is totally broke down and not working.

Prime Minister Martin, and the other liberals, are shocked that criminals are still obtaining guns and using them in their criminal activities. Can you imagine that? Criminals engaging in criminal conduct and breaking a law? Honest citizens who complied with ridiculous Canadian gun laws are like lambs at the slaughter. Who could be surprised at that turn of events?

What's next for Prime Minister Paul Martin? Advising us how to set up a total failure National Health Plan so that the Canadian model doesn't look so ridiculous? Here is an interesting story, from up North about politics and gun control.

Don't blame American guns
John R. Lott, National Post
Published: Friday, October 28, 2005

With Canada's murder rate rising 12% last year and this year's high-profile rash of gang murders (six shootings just this week in Toronto), politicians are looking for someone to blame. The bogeyman, as usual, is America: On Monday night, during his dinner with Condoleezza Rice, Prime Minister Paul Martin claimed Canada's gun crime problem was being caused by weapons smuggled in from the United States.

But Paul Martin doesn't have the facts to back up the claim. Despite the $2-billion committed to the Liberals' gun registry, the government does not even know the number of guns seized from criminals, let alone where those guns came from. Nor does Martin's government have any evidence that gun smuggling has recently gotten worse. (In Toronto, which keeps some data on guns, Paul Culver, a senior Crown Attorney, claims U.S. guns are a "small part" of his city's problem.)

Recent E-Mail from the Big Bubba's Cousinette

Interesting thought for the day: If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.

In God We Trust

Has Stanley Williams Fate Been Sealed?

There is a definite murmur about the possibility of rioting in Los Angeles should Stanley Williams meet his fate at 12:01 a.m., 13 December 2005. If Governor Schwarzenegger should grant clemency for Williams and commute the sentence of death to life imprisonment then there will certainly be the appearance that he succumbed to the threat of violence. That would be totally unacceptable. It would undoubtedly lead to more attempts to use the threat of violence to subordinate the rule of law.

This has now moved beyond the basic issue of whether or not Williams deserves clemency. It has now become a question of law or riot. The Los Angeles police authorities have said that there are no credible threats of violence that they know of at this time. Nevertheless somehow the talk of possible violence is out there on the street and in the media.

This leaves Governor Schwarzenegger no choice other than to refuse to commute Stanley William's lawful sentence.

Leaders urge calm if Williams dies
Some fear Los Angeles could see a repeat of 1992 riots
Saturday, December 10, 2005; Posted: 7:38 p.m. EST (00:38 GMT)

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Community leaders Friday called for peace in the city if convicted killer and Crips gang co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams is put to death next week as scheduled.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger heard arguments Thursday from Williams' lawyers seeking to spare his life but hasn't said if he will grant clemency to the death row inmate condemned for the 1979 killing of four people.

Free Speech at UConn (An American Institution of Higher Ignorance)

Hecklers Disrupt Coulter's Speech At UConn
December 8, 2005
By GRACE E. MERRITT, Courant Staff Writer

STORRS -- Music that seemed to come from somewhere in the raucous audience that packed the Jorgensen Center at the University of Connecticut Wednesday night brought Ann Coulter's speech to an abrupt end about 15 minutes after she started.

After waiting with her bodyguard on stage for several minutes for the music to stop while a section of the audience chanted "You suck, you suck," an irritated Coulter said she would not finish her speech. She said she would go straight to questions and answers, suggesting the disruption was the best the liberals could do to counter her.

"I love to engage in repartee with people that are a lot stupider than I am," she said. `We're having a question and answer right now with the little crybabies."

Big Bubba Intrepid Shopper

I am just in from some odds and ends shopping at one of our local HEB grocery stores. It is located about 2 miles from my home just outside the Westgate of Lackland Air Force Base. Right after I entered the store I noticed something amiss with a soldier's uniform. I saw the word "Army" above his right breast pocket, but, I also saw some gold on his epaulets. I decided to further investigate so I scooted around the aisle to encounter the soldier head on.

I immediately encountered him upon making my U-turn. His tag actually said "Iraqi Army" and he by then was with another Iraqi soldier. Anyone who knows Big Bubba knows that I had to verbally interrogate for more useful information. I already knew one thing for sure about the pair. They were attending the Defense Language Institute, English at Lackland Air Force Base. They both had the DLI unit crest on their right breast pocket flap like all DLI students have.

I asked them if the heat of South Texas compared favorably with that of Iraq. They affirmed that it did despite today being a very cold day in South Texas. I commented that one of them spoke very excellent English. He told me that he had been working with Americans for five years prior to coming here. I guess that means he started working for us prior to the start of the war.

I congratulated them for being very brave men. I said that anyone could join the American Army with no one to fear but our enemies. Certainly no fear for a fellow American citizen. In Iraq they are killed by the terrorists trying to intimidate them. They are indeed very brave. Big Bubba certainly admires them.

Entertaining the Mindless Twits

Yesterday Judge Pat Priest dismissed the part of the Tom DeLay indictment that alleged conspiracy to violate Texas election law. Whether this part of the indictment should be dismissed would be a no-brainer to anyone not sleeping when ex post facto laws were discussed in high school civics, or history, classes. Despite the simplicity of the issue most mindless twits could not understand the malicious prosecution aspect of the charge.

The progressive liberal demoracists refused to be demoralized by the decision of Judge Pat Priest to drop the conspiracy charge. After all there still was the matter of money laundering. Money laundering? Isn’t that where someone surreptitiously attempts to take "dirty" money tainted by crime, drugs, etc. and turn it into "clean" money? It certainly seems that by definition the cleansing would have to be safe from open scrutiny. Ronnie Earle wants the court to believe that someone who writes a check, signs his name, gives the check to someone who signs their name on the back in endorsement, deposits it to his account that he writes checks on and signs his name to is laundering money.

Only moonbats, progressive liberal demoracists and mindless twits would buy into such a ridiculously spurious argument. Putting on their best happy face they maintain a pathetically desperate hope that the ridiculous will find a favorable outcome in a court of law. It simply is not likely to happen.

Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee (TRMPAC) sent $190,000 to the Republican National Committee (RNC). Subsequently the RNC sent checks totaling $190,000 to various Republican candidates in Texas. That is the substance of the alleged money laundering. That was not a violation of Texas or Federal law in 2002.

With all the negative media coverage, screaming progressive liberal demoracists, and other assorted moonbats causing confusion, it is overlooked that there was another political party active in Texas in 2002. What were those wily progressive liberal demoracists doing with their political campaign funding? Why they were doing the same thing as Texas Republicans, only more.

During the 2002 campaign cycle the Texas Democrats swapped considerably more money with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) than the Texas Republicans did with the RNC. In just one day the Texas Democrats sent $75,000 in hard money to the DNC and on the same day, Oct 31, 2002, received from the DNC $75,000 in soft money. This transaction is exactly, precisely, without variation, the same as the transaction that Ronnie Earle cited for his malicious persecution of Tom DeLay.

The Tom DeLay indictment was that he violated Texas election laws and engaged in money laundering. The election law that DeLay was alleged to have broken did not exist in 2002. Since you cannot violate a law that does not exist the charge was dismissed. The remaining charge is arguably the more ridiculous of the two, however, for whatever legal reason Judge Pat Priest chose not to dismiss the charge. Obviously DeLay cannot use as his defense the "Democrats and everybody else are doing it so I can too" ploy.

Here’s the deal for all you moonbats, progressive liberal demoracists and mindless twits who may have trouble with simple intellectual concepts. The reason that the Republicans were doing "money swapping," just like the Democrats, was that it was legal. It was perfectly legal under the laws of 2002 for TRMPAC to accept donations. It was perfectly legal under the laws of 2002 for TRMPAC to send money to the RNC. It was perfectly legal under the laws of 2002 for the RNC to send money to Republican candidates for election to office. These facts will be decided in a court of law. Tom DeLay will be found not guilty. Ronnie Earle will be shown up, once again, to be the malicious persecution partisan party hack that he is well known to be here in Texas.

The only losers in this are the taxpayers of the Great State of Texas and the nation at large. Texans once again are funding Ronnie Earle’s fantasies that go nowhere. The peoples’ business in the Congress of the United States has been disrupted to deal with a nonissue. The winners are mindless twits, and other intellectual defects, who have been immensely entertained by Ronnie Earle. A lot of time and trouble have been wasted on the easily entertained. When Tom DeLay is found not guilty who will be next to entertain them?

A Conservative Teacher's Commentary

A Conservative Teacher In A Blue State
By Nancy Salvato
December 5, 2005

Briefly, while driving to a parent teacher conference for my son this morning, I had the opportunity to listen to recently slandered, former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett discuss a great business idea; that someone should open a conservative coffee shop and call it "Warbucks". A portion of the proceeds would go to help the US soldiers charged with defending freedom around the world. Many listeners called in to say they really liked this suggestion.

Now I'm not really sure if he was serious or not because I didn't get a chance to listen in long enough but it got me to thinking. It sure would be nice to go where conservatives could comfortably hang out and to have some good intelligent conversation over a cup of java. Sadly, living in a blue state in a metropolitan area, I often find myself dominated by liberals who disdain conservative beliefs and ideas.

Big Bubba's Big List Of Cindy Sheehan Quotes

Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has pronounced Cindy Sheehan's moral authority as absolute. Cindy Sheehan is absolute alright, absolutely out of her mind. Big Bubba offers as proof Big Bubba's Big List of Cindy Sheehan quotes,


"58% of the American public are with us. We're preaching to the choir, but the choir's not singing, if all of the 58% started singing, this war would end."

"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC [Project for the New American Century] Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11."
"And if you think I won't say bulls**t to the President, I say move on, cause I'll say what's on my mind."

"And it's because our country, is so good at demonizing people, I still have relatives from WWII that still call Japanese people Japs'."I just wish George had as much courage in his entire body as Casey had in his little pinky, then he would meet with me."

"Congressman Rangel said today that history will record us as the true patriots, and I believe that that's true."

"He won't tell us what 'complete victory' is. Is it when every citizen of Iraq is dead?"

"I absolutely believe he [President Bush] has an obligation to meet with me,"

"I never set out to become the 'Rosa Parks of the peace movement.' I ventured out on August 6, 2005, to hold George Bush accountable and to raise awareness about his lies and misuse and abuse of power. I didn't set out to become anyone's hero. I am a regular mom who just wants peace and no one else to be murdered for the deceptions of our government."

"I was raised in a country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, that America was just. America has been killing people ... since we first stepped on this continent, we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that [expletive] to my son and my son enlisted. I'm going all over the country telling moms: 'This country is not worth dying for.' " (27 Apr 2005, Speech at San Francisco State University)

"I will not support a pro-war Democrat [in the upcoming elections] ... I regret supporting John Kerry in 2004 [t]he movement gained nothing from his candidacy."

"I think if one is not speaking out right now against the killing in Iraq, one is supporting it."

"If he thinks that it's so important for Iraq to have a U.S.-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two little party-animal girls. They need to go to this war."

"It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison."

"Is there anyone in America who cannot yet see that Donald Rumsfeld is a liar, that he -- as with Hitler and Stalin -- will say anything so long as he thinks it will help shape the world to his own liking? Is there even one sane adult among us who cannot see that Donald Rumsfeld is a threat to our nation's security and to peace on our beloved earth?"

"Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power, never caring that their addictions are at the expense of our loved ones, and the blood of innocent people near and far. We've watched these thugs parade themselves before the whole world as if they are courageous advocates for Christian moral values... and for the spread of democracy. Yet we all know that they are now putting in place, all across this country, a system of voting that provides no way to validate the accuracy of the counting of the votes... and that, by its very design, prohibits recounting the votes. Our loved ones have been buried in early graves even as these arrogant thugs parade themselves before the entire world, insisting that democracy is worth dying for, killing for, and destroying entire cities for... In their secret hiding places, while celebrating newly won fortunes with their fellow brass, these men must surely congratulate themselves with orgies of carnal pleasure as they mock the dwindling multitudes who are yet so blind as to mistake them for God's devoted servants."

"Our government is run by one party, every level, and the mainstream media is a propaganda tool for the government."

"So what really gets me is these chickenhawks, who sent our kids to die, without ever serving in a war themselves. They don't know what it's all about."

"Some of us are covered in blood, and Colin Powell is one of those people."

"Thank God for the Internet, or we wouldn't know anything, and we would already be a fascist state."

"The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush."

"Then we have this lying bastard, George Bush, taking a five week vacation in a time of war. You know what? I'm never going to get to enjoy another vacation because of him. My vacation probably -- this is really sad because I have a really cute dress I was going to wear to the banquet tomorrow night -- but I'm either going to be in jail or in a tent in Crawford, waiting until that jerk comes out and tells me why my son died."

"To make my son's death count for peace and love, and not war and hatred like he [Bush] stands for."

"You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of Pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East."

"You get that evil maniac out here, 'cause a Gold Star Mother, somebody whose blood is on his hands, has some questions for him."

"You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine."

"We can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals. Because they need to go to prison for what they've done in this world. We can't have a pardon. They need to pay for what they've done."

"We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now."

"We can't let them continue to make us believe that our voices don't make a difference."

"We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled. The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached."

"Well, I believe that since 62 percent of Americans know this war is a mistake -- and based on lies -- and want our troops to start coming home. That transcends all kinds of party lines."

"What can we do to get him out of power? And I'm gonna say the 'I' word: Impeach. And we have to have everybody impeached that lied to the American public, and that's the executive branch, and any people in congress, and we got to go all the way down... to the person who picks up the dogs**t in Washington because we can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals.
