Splorgo the space alien has a little something to say about liberalism in America. It used to be that you could distinguish a liberal position from an authoritarian position pretty darned easily. But as liberals become more and more partisan, political candidates feel more comfortable dismissing the importance of freedom, then drift toward acceptance of the unacceptable. What's a liberal to do? Splorgo has an idea.

If you're like most Americans, you've spent more time thinking about Jessica Alba's cleavage or George Clooney's hairline than reading up on H.R. 6304, the FISA Amendments Act. But this bill, to be voted on by the Senate during the second week of July 2008, is much more important than Jessica's bust or George's baldness. If the bill passes, it stands to affect you and your family directly. How does this affect your family? What could President George W. Bush do to your kids if this bill passes? Why won't you hear about this bill ever again once Congress passes it into law? What can you do to protect your family and stop H.R. 6304?

When Barack Obama came to Columbus on February 27, 2008 and I heard him promise to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, he won my vote in the Ohio Primary. On June 20, 2008, Barack Obama declared his support for H.R. 6304, a bill that enables warrantless wiretapping of American citizens. Barack Obama declared support for searches of your home and your property without your knowledge, without a warrant, anywhere and any time the government wants. Now that Barack Obama supports the gutting of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Barack Obama has lost my vote. If he wants my vote back, Mr. Obama will have to keep the promise he made to me and thousands of others that February day in Ohio. Defend the Constitution, Mr. Obama. It's what you swore you would do. Author: irregularjim Keywords: commentary analysis political commercial barack obama constitution fisa h.r. 6304 lost my vote fourth amendment Added: June 21, 2008

People writing on the Net tell me that I can build a windmill. "Hey, man," they were saying to me, "building a windmill is not as hard as you might think. OK, so there are a couple of nibbly bits, but really just try some stuff out and see what works." If you've been around the block a few times, you know that there are two kinds of "not as hard as you might think." There is the really, truly not as hard as you might think kind of not hard, and then there is the not-hard-if-you-have-six-elbows-are-an-astrophysicist-and-have-the-upper-body-strength-of-the-Hulk kind of not hard. I'm a pretty good test for which kind of not hard we're talking about here, because I am neither the Hulk nor an astrophysicist and I have the hand-eye coordination of a blind skink. So this morning I took all of five minutes, gathered what materials I had at hand, took a quick gander at Kevin Harris' account of windmill building, recruited my 2nd-grade son for help and jumped right in. 38 minutes later, with no experience, no measurements and just a pile of cardboard, did we have a working windmill? Yes, we did. If we can do it, so can you.

Well... ... you know the rest While John McCain's top staffers are writing up his bills They're also paid by corporate boards, they don't deny they're corporate shills There's only a dozen or two dozen or three dozen or four dozen Running his campaign He started his career by taking money on the side Now he's running away from George Bush but he can't hide from his 95 percent voting record for Bush Could he hug George Bush any closer than that? Do you want four more, do you want four more Do you want four more, do you want four more Do you want four more, do you want four more Do you really want four more years of this? ===================== Whenever he starts to open his mouth then I have to figure out What the heck that he's talking about You know I had to draw me a diagram All I ever want is for McCain to finally make some sense ===================== Author: irregularjim Keywords: john mccain music video draw diagram election 2008 iran iraq bomb freedom commentary analysis grassroots outreach bush Added: June 5, 2008

When George W. Bush confessed "I Approved" to news of the meeting of top administration officials to approve U.S. government torture, CNN, NBC and CBS utterly failed to cover it -- even though Bush's act qualifies as a violation of federal conspiracy law, 18 USC 2340.
