I hear it often on Rightwing talk radio but am fearful of the (usually Rightwing neo-con) push, seemingly grass roots, to roll back Posse Comitatus so that the military can be used to close the borders.

But all I hear is “it’s Bush’s fault” or “it’s those greedy oil companies” and there is likely some part-truths there. What I’m not hearing are the actions over the last decade plus that lead us up to the [...]
I would like to think that Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez using Democrat talking points would be considered a significant indicator not of where Chavez stands, but where the Democrat party stands today. I do hope everyone is boycotting Citgo?

And this weeks flipper bounce finds him opposing gay marriage in Arizona. Next month he’ll support civil unions with adoptive [...]
But I knew it would come… Katrina was obviously Bush’s fault. Interesting that Kennedy didn’t include the Gov. of Louisiana.. oh that’s right she’s a Democrat.
Hats off to Due Moore, 72-year-old, of New Mexico for having the presence of mind to act and save the life of a woman being stabbed. If you have a strong stomach read the reader comments (they’re in reverse order so start at the bottom and read up).
Just as an FYI there is a less than a 50% chance that the results of any randomly chosen scientific paper are true. At least they still have the newspapers beat.
