Self-described libertarian pundit Neal Boortz wrote on his website. "Limbaugh is seen by the left as a huge, almost insurmountable threat to their designs on regaining control in (Washington) D.C.. Limbaugh crossed a politically-correct line. Only liberals are allowed to bring race into any issue."

Why Do Liberals Defend the CIA?
The most recent phony "scandal" to come out of Washington DC is the issue of how Joseph Wilson's CIA wife was unmasked as an operative for "The Company." What is pathetic is how phony Progressives and Demorats have jumped all over this issue like a cop on a jelly donut, waxing indiginant about how the CIA's (terrorist) operations around the world have been jeopardized.

A majority of Germans believed him and went right along, just as a huge chunk of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein was a co-author of September 11 and an imminent threat." from The Progressive, September 2003

Wilson for not playing ball with the Bush regime, how can anybody expect the corporate media to now report objectively about a conspiracy the corporate media participated in.

Michael Moore Digs Himself a Deeper Hole
Michael Moore must have a serious crush on war criminal extraodinaire, General Wesley Clark--either that or he is on General Clark's payroll. If Michael Moore is so opposed to war why is he support ing and defedning a War criminal like Gen. Wesley Clark. Oh yeah, I forgot, he's electable. You have to wonder after awhile whether these so-called "Progressives" really give a damn about the various issues (war, tax cuts, the environment) they claim to be so concerned about. Or whether they have some other agenda....like gaining the "keys to the Amerikan Empire" for themselves and the Democrap Party.

US Congressional Criminals Step Up Attack on Syria
The US Congress fast tracks a so-called "Syria Accountablity Act" calling for stringent sanctions against Syria for opposing Israel, I mean "supporting terrorism." Note that the people promoting this bill are NOT Republicans but Liberal Democrats (who just so happen to be of Jewish descent, purely conincidental of course). Check out the quote from Gary Ackerman who believes that Iraq's mythical WMDs are actually in Syria! More proof that it is NOT only the Bush Regime that are warmongers.

Prisoners to eat less
Allegedly seeking to save money, several states are cutting prison diets. Of course, this is just partisan politics, as Republican administrations are trying to appeal to the frugal wing of their party-- in a "zero sum game", social programs have to be cut to provide adequate funding for mini-nukes.

Actually, this is more likely a left-lib Trojan Horse slipping under the radar, and is probably due to humanitarian concerns for the prisoners' health. Well documented animal research, as well as some anecdotal information from inadvertent experiments such as Dachau, reveal that mammals live longer and are healthier when maintained in a state of semi-starvation.

Otherwise no authentic safety exists for anyone anywhere, and the human future cannot evolve with confidence that one day there really will be liberty and justice for all.
