Betrayal In the Ranks
Thousands of women have been sexually assaulted in the United States military. Thousands more have been abused by their military husbands or boyfriends. And then they are victimized again.
This time, the women are betrayed by the military itself.

At age 22 Strom Thurmond fathered a bi-racial child with his families 16 year old maid . He seems to have treated her pretty decently overall, even providing financial support throughout his publicly unacknowledged daughters life.
One complex segregationist.

Right-Wing Christian terrorist Clayton Waagner is a case you may not have heard about, "anthrax" and all. The link is from Salon.com, you'll have to click on the " free day pass" to see the full article, it is easy and painless, just takes a moment.

OK, I called Mr Dean, "Bush Lite". Republican Lite. Comfortable Centrist. Best chance at winning because he falls in the spectrum of "more of the same". Less bad. What I mean is Dennis Kucinich is truly progressive, in a Wellstone sort of way. Would any conscious, Liberal citizen pick Howard Dean over Paul Wellstone if Mr Wellstone was alive and in the running? "Anybody but Bush", yeah, I know, but shouldn't we raise the bar? Look at Clinton/Gore. Take a moment to review their accomplishments for the man in the street. Can't we do better? America needs a non "same as it ever was" alternative to popular governance. My sense is that we are selling our future short. Settling. We could elect a real Populist. This is primary time, it is still not too late. Do the research, see past the rhetoric.
America and the world need Mr Bush and company out of the White House. But we should look to the future is what I am trying to say.
At the televised "debate" Kucinich had the substance...

A new blog worthy of note: GraphicTruth, this story about Mr Bush falling out with conservatives is what first caught my eye.

Read a bit more about where Democracy in the states is heading under the present administration. Without truth it is merely a word, fancy windowdressing.
Will you tell your grandkids what you were doing as Democracy was sold off.

Have you been to Big Left Outside? Read this post and this one too. Turn off your tv and gather the wife and kiddies around, talk to your friends. Seriously. THINK.
A brother in blogging, Philosophical Scrivener, can reinforce this. (The specific post I point to.)
Think!

My right wing salt-of the-earth neighbor said " That Kucinski, he's for real" after seeing the Democratic debate televised. It's Kucinich. Check out Mousemusings. Dean is Bushlite.
Sorry, my Liberal compadres, but you know it is true. Read , discern, act. It is for the good of our children...
Light might make you squint, but it is good.
Hello, sunshine...
