Quotes of the Day
"The lesson the world needs to learn is that actual "security" was a
myth during the cold war and nuclear arms race with Russia. It was a global game of brinksmanship. Victory wasn't achieved through military or national superiority, but by outspending the enemy into bankruptcy. This same system continues today, siphoning off the US treasury for its transnational agenda. Now we're the one in insolvency and there is still no true security. Who's really the winner? The loser is the promise of America and the bright dreams it's people once had. Now is the time to reclaim what has gotten away from us".

News & Commentary
Things will come to a head in this country before the next election - all of the talk in the wind lately of what the administration will do to create a military government and scrap the constitution, if there's another terrorist attack. My strong belief is that this administration "let" the WTC attack happen to allow themselves the leeway to go forward with the grab for Afghan gas, poppies and Iraqi oil, let alone the "Patriot" Act. I watched the economy tank after Bush took office, I think because of people's fear. Then I've seen Bush dismantle programs and let his buddies pick up the pieces, just like the crumbling of the Soviet Union. Doesn't it seem strange that the head of the "free" world is the son of the CIA chief as is the president of Russia the ex-KGB chief and in the middle east Sharon is the ex-chief of Mossad? Each of these 3 bums are using the same tactics to consolidate power, in their respective fiefdoms: Chechnya, Palestine and GWB's Taliban, all bringing fear so the Great Leader can offer his protection racket. - Gary Cook, Editor, Progressive Daily News.

American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush
Kevin Phillips

In addition, Phillips argues that the family systematically used its social and financial influence to gain the White House. |

A former White House strategist, Mr. Phillips is a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times and NPR and writes for Harper’s and Time.

Message from Gov. Howard Dean
Eleven months ago, when few people knew our campaign existed, I asked the Democratic Party leadership some fundamental questions:
Why were so many Democrats in Washington supporting George Bush's unilateral war in Iraq?
Why were they supporting No Child Left Behind?
Why were they voting for the president's reckless tax cuts?
I am still waiting for the answers. The American people deserve the answers.
Today, all my opponents are talking the talk. Even those who voted for the war now speak like they opposed it.
Those who voted for No Child Left Behind now criticize it.
And those who shrank from confrontation in the face of polls and pundits now compete to outdo each other in their condemnation of George W. Bush.
But in 2004, Democrats must decide: Who will stand up for you? And who will stand up against George W. Bush?
I believe only someone who has consistently and firmly stood for change -- even when it wasn't politically popular -- can truly lead this great struggle.
And I need your help today to raise the funds we need to
take back the Democratic Party and defeat George Bush:
Imagine 2005. Radical Republicans of the Bush-DeLay school will push their divisive agenda.
When that happens, who will stand up for you?
A Washington insider who shifts with every poll? Who cuts deals that sell out the interests of ordinary Americans, and who has spent decades collaborating with the special interests that fuel his campaigns?
Or someone from outside Washington, truly independent, and ready to do what's right? As President, I will stand up for you -- I won't just say it. You know I will do it -- because I have done it. And we can stand up for all Americans if we stand together.
The Washington insiders are spending millions in paid advertisements to try to persuade voters that they'll stand up to the system they've been part of for years. Many of these ads will attack us.
It's extremely important that we go into the coming primaries with the resources we need.
Can I count on your help today?
Thank you for everything you do.
Governor Howard Dean, M.D. |
