      <description>Big Money
Lyrics:
listen up my friends it&#8217;s time we paid attention
an age old specter knocks upon our door
phantom financiers hell bent on domination
they are closer than they&#8217;ve ever been before
it&#8217;s Big Money&#8217;s plan to posses us on behalf of their pleasure
it&#8217;s Big Money&#8217;s plague that blackens all our dreams
where Big Money meets lies hidden from all measure
what Big Money says is never what they mean
&#8212;(chorus)
the currency of our lives is being stolen
in some brash colossal prank
together we must stand as One emboldened
we&#8217;ll never be free until we break the Bank
mighty bankers huddle high in the City of London
&#8212;(end chorus)
gilded sheiks of oil in Mecca ply their trade
Russian runners plump with arms wait on behalf of direction
in one conference call a deal on behalf of all is made
they sell us guns as well as tools on behalf of war unending
then they armor all our enemies as well
first they promise with their help we shall know heaven
when they reel in their due we&#8217;re left in hell
chorus
bridge
it matters not what we believe
how we voted, where we pray
the land in which we reside each day
each one of us has been deceived
by money masters, power mad
let&#8217;s face the truth, we&#8217;ve all been had
they shall murder heads of state who call on behalf of action
they profit from starvation as well as disease
Christ was right to turn their tables in the temple
yet even He dropped to the power that they seize
Big Money vows allegiance to no nation
Big Money holds no moral honest creed
Big Money bloats, obsessed with acquisition
it&#8217;s the lives of you as well as I on which they feed
chorus
they&#8217;ve been pulling all of the strings down thru the ages
solid as their gold as empires rise as well as fall
the prize now in their eyes is all of Gaia
if we don&#8217;t stop them now they might take it all
(but) Big Money can&#8217;t corrupt our intuition
(and) Big Money can&#8217;t control our Higher Mind
Big Money&#8217;s weight shall sink them to perdition
it is there that their conceit shall be consigned
chorus w/tag

      <title>B’Man’s Sabbath Watch: Easter Special</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/11/bmans-sabbath-watch-easter-special.html</link>
      <description>My wife is in the kitchen early this morning putting little chocolate treats in plastic eggs on behalf of our 4 year old, who has already hunted Easter Eggs twice this week (once at pre-school as well as again yesterday at a local church that invited us to be a part of the festivities).
&quot;The eggs are screwed, but at least we have dinner&quot;
I don&#8217;t enter church buildings very often any more, on behalf of a lot of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that I dislike being a hypocrite, so being a &#8220;Easter Sunday&#8221; church goer is something that I simply can't be. Its all or nothing with me as well as the truth is that I can't find anything resembling what the Christ taught in any of the churches or from the leadership of those churches. It is essentially mini man-made kingdoms who grab some little tag to utilize as their pull. As Saul/Paul noted, &#8220;What? Is Christ divided?&#8221;
Apparently so, into numerous hundreds, if not thousands, of sects as well as cults. Divided? Its a confetti at this point.
There were about 25 kids at this event (small church) as well as they put out over 600 eggs (my 4 year old found 53, which put her in second place to some little punk who had help from his parents)&#8230; cheating bastards&#8230; (I kid). Now, my daughter has this idea that the Easter bunny is Santa Claus Lite as well as my wife is stuffing even more chocolate into eggs&#8230; wtf?
Anyway, so right before the &#8220;egg hunt&#8221;, there was this little ole lady who took it upon herself to explain to all these children the significance of the egg hunt as well as bunnies on this occasion supposedly set up to recognize as well as celebrate a freaking torture/murder.
&#8220;Now this egg represents a new beginning&#8221;&#8230; &#8220;it can be dead or it can be a reside chicken&#8221;&#8230; &#8220;When I was a little girl&#8221; (tears start falling), &#8220;my mother as well as daddy would take us to church as well as we would hunt real eggs that were decorated as well as then we ate them.&#8221;
Oops
WTF??????
I glanced around, looking at the faces of the kids as well as it was just like driving on the Natchez Trace at night (more deer in the headlights than you would ever imagine possible).
I could imagine them saying in their head&#8217;s, &#8220;Will you just shut up as well as let&#8217;s go outside.&#8221;
I am not dogging their beliefs, but it was clear that the basic agenda was to recruit BuelahLady as well as I to attend the church. Somehow, they got wind that we used to be leaders in a Methodist church (I actually was the Music Director as well as Associate pastor&#8230; yeah, whatever). In one of those &#8220;God things&#8221;, their Music Leader had recently left the church to expand her horizons at another church (they had a really keen choir, as it was told). So, basically, God provided a miracle, if we would just come to their church as well as take over some responsibilities that God gave us &#8220;gifts&#8221; to do as well as that we shouldn&#8217;t waste them&#8230; blah, blah, blah.
But the kicker was the pastor, who came up to me with this little sly, shit-eating grin as well as said, &#8220;You should come to the Easter service I&#8217;m preaching tomorrow. The sermon name is &#8216;Its time on behalf of the church to get nekkid&#8217;.&#8221; He then laughed as well as explained that he found this one obscure verse in Mark (but couldn&#8217;t remember Chapter, nor verse, which I considered strange at the end of his little story).
He said, &#8220;I have never heard anyone preach on this verse&#8221;.
I said, &#8220;I have some teachings that I could share with you that I bet you never heard before.&#8221;
I could hear the buzz in his ears as his mind decided that my sentence was unworthy of attention as well as started right back where he left off.
Look, anyone can worship or go to church or whatever floats your boat. But, there's not a single religious leader in the world that I consider better than myself, in any way or circumstance. I refuse to put The Pope, Mike Huckabee, or even Mohammad himself on any pedestal, when their very followers are crazy fuckers who betray the teachings of the ones they claim to represent.
Comb-Over: Heal Thyself!
I mean really, if Benny Hinn has all those healing powers, why in the hell doesn&#8217;t he fix that comb-over? At the very least, that rug needs to be &#8220;slain in the spirit&#8221;.
Sorry, that is just the way I am.
So, Happy Easter, but beware of the cute little bunnies. I have a niece who lost the tip of her finger to one of these vile beasts (true story).
However, I would be remiss if I didn&#8217;t explain that these creatures do taste wonderful in chocolate&#8230;

      <title>Thermitic Dust Particles Found In WTC Remains</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/12/thermitic-dust-particles-found-in-wtc-remains.html</link>
      <description>
h/t Dandelion Salad
I know some shall endeavour to explain this away, but thermitic dust doesn&#8217;t just happen. It isn&#8217;t found in all buildings, so the presence of this material only leads to a couple of scenarios. Either there was thermite/thermate involved with this demolition or it was planted afterwards.
Either way, an investigation (a REAL one) needs to take place.
But I bet a dollar to a domut that Obama fights it. Why? Because to unveil the evil master would be his undoing as well as America would, indeed, revolt.
Doesn&#8217;t it bother you that there were no criminal investigations in the worst attack (supposed attack) on this nation? That they didn&#8217;t evaluate the steel, but hauled it off on behalf of recycling as promptly as possible?

      <title>B’Man’s Wicked Garden: Rockin’ The Prep Work</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/09/bmans-wicked-garden-rockin-the-prep-work.html</link>
      <description>What does a man do when he sees life as we know it changing, causing fear as well as anger in America, doubting the very ones that lead us because of the fact that they are obviously more committed to the Beltway games of feeding their coffers more than they care on behalf of us, the very ones who put them there?
Why, a redneck like me plants a garden just to ensure he can feed his family.
I shall document it as it progresses.
I am also dragging out my fishing gear as well as hunting gear on behalf of next drop (I haven&#8217;t hunted or fished in 3 or 4 years because of the fact that of work). I believe, with all my heart, that my family shall desperately require it. So, what are you city slickers going to do? If you drive by here as well as see something in the garden that you like, don&#8217;t get burned on behalf of trying to take it.


Area Lay Out

Tilled

Disc&#8217;d
And I ain&#8217;t burnin&#8217; this one down, but I shall rock your ass out (if you&#8217;ll let me):

&#8220;Wicked Garden&#8221;
Can you feel like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna jog through your wicked garden
Heard that&#8217;s the place to find ya
But I&#8217;m alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from you naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I&#8217;m going to burn, burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I take you back to life?
Are you scared of life?
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground
Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna jog through your wicked garden
Heard that&#8217;s the place to find you
&#8216;Cause I&#8217;m alive
So alive now
Out of the dark that blinds you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I take you back to life?
Are you scared of life?
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

      <title>The Invisible Vancouver Drug War</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/10/the-invisible-vancouver-drug-war.html</link>
      <description>They are being requested to retain this hush-hush. Don&#8217;t let the world know that the Drug War might cause difficulties on behalf of the 2010 Olympics&#8230; that machine gun armed gangs are taking over Vancouver. Its one thing to label those little brown people to the south as uncouth criminals who can&#8217;t stop themselves from trafficking drugs across the border, but to consider those white people up north in the same manner would be totally unacceptable, wouldn&#8217;t it?
When shall we learn that prohibition does not work? Will it be when 35%, or 50% of Americans are jailed on behalf of non-offensive acts of possession? We have 5% of the world&#8217;s population, but have 25% of the world&#8217;s imprisoned. Are we really that immoral a nation, in spite of the fact that &#8220;Christian&#8221;, that we have more bad folks than any other place in the world?
I wonder if we shall learn when the law holds all those drug addled assholes like Rush Limbaugh accountable in the same light, on behalf of in his &#8220;arrest&#8221;, he was certainly given the kid glove treatment.
But this war isn&#8217;t about illegally obtained Hillbilly Heroin, it is about the BC Bud that can anesthetize you with one hit. What they call that &#8220;one hit shit&#8221; (I&#8217;m still looking on behalf of that stuff Carlin described in Toledo Window Box that was &#8220;no -poke shit&#8221;. None of that &#8220;one-poke shit, two-poke shit&#8221;:) 
&#8220;Just cop, leave it at residence as well as stay high&#8230; knowing its in the closet&#8221;

From heaven to hell: 18 die as drugs war rages on streets of Vancouver
The Canadian city has been named the best place in the world to live. But those halcyon days are over
By Paul Rodgers
Sunday, 5 April 2009
Once upon a very recent time, Vancouver had a clean, safe image. Nestled between a spectacular bay as well as snow-capped mountains, this Canadian city, which is twice the size of Birmingham, was described by The Economist as the an estimated all liveable in the world. Not any more. As it prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, what it&#8217;s got now is not cuddly, eco-friendly publicity, but blood-spattered streets littered with shell casings as well as corpses.
Vancouver is the battlefield in a war between myriad drug gangs, which include Hell&#8217;s Angels, Big Circle Boys, United Nations, Red Scorpions, Independent Soldiers as well as the 14K Triad. Guns – often machineguns – are fired an estimated daily. &#8220;We&#8217;ve at all times been told by media experts to never admit that there's a gang war,&#8221; the chief of police, Jim Chu, said last month. &#8220;Let&#8217;s get serious. There is a gang war as well as it&#8217;s brutal.&#8221; Vancouver&#8217;s Mayor, Gregor Robertson, confessed that the police are fighting a losing battle. Since mid-January, the city has recorded 50 gang-related shootings, 18 of them fatal. And the violence is not confined to seedy neighbourhoods. The cross-fire is happening in quiet, residential cul-de-sacs as well as the car parks of up-scale shopping centres. It&#8217;s a suburban civil war.
Nor are hardened criminals the only victims. An attack on one gangster&#8217;s car killed a 24-year-old man hired to fit it with a new stereo. In February, Nicole Alemy, 23, the wife of another gangster, was gunned down in her white Cadillac – with her four-year-old son in the back seat. On Friday, police arrested James Bacon – one of three brothers who left the United Nations gang to join the Red Scorpions, intensifying the rivalry between the two – on behalf of conspiring in the deaths of four gangsters in their flat in Surrey, south-east of Vancouver. Two innocent men were forced from the hallway into the flat as well as also killed. Police said they intend to manufacture more arrests over the weekend.
As Vancouver has boomed over the past two decades, attracting wealthy immigrants from across Canada as well as the Pacific, so too has the illegal drugs trade. It is now the third largest industry in the province, generating between C$7bn (£3.8bn) as well as C$8bn a year. A young, party-loving population with liberal attitudes to drugs has created strong domestic demand, while the province&#8217;s mild climate as well as a ready supply of well-educated horticulturalists has led to supply of a premium brand of cannabis referred to as &#8220;BC bud&#8221;, produced mostly in hydroponic &#8220;grow-ops&#8221;.
The drug&#8217;s superior quality – &#8220;one puff as well as you&#8217;re anaesthetised,&#8221; reported one academic – also found favour with customers in the US, encouraging an imaginative corps of smugglers. Customs agents have found shipments in church vans, hollow logs as well as even kayaks. One enterprising crew emulated the prisoners of Stalag Luft III, digging a 110m tunnel &#8220;under the wire&#8221;. The bigger problem on behalf of Canada, though, was the return trade. The US drug distributors preferred to pay in kind, with cocaine as well as guns.
Many commentators think Vancouver&#8217;s violence is just a skirmish on the fringe of the much larger war in Mexico, where 6,000 were murdered last year as the state tried to reassert control over territories seized by drug lords. The result has been a 50 per cent rise in the price of cocaine in Canada, as well as correspondingly higher profits to fight over. But not everyone is convinced. Experts at Simon Fraser University argue that the problem is home-grown, as well as that it&#8217;s exacerbated by police efforts to bang up mob leaders. &#8220;All you do is create vacancies as you put people in jail,&#8221; said Ehor Boyanowsky, an associate professor of criminology. &#8220;Suddenly there&#8217;s an opportunity.&#8221;
In the short term, say the academics, Vancouver&#8217;s problem is one of unco-ordinated enforcement. By one count, as numerous as 11 different agencies, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as well as local police forces, were responsible on behalf of suppressing the drugs trade. The courts are an estimated as confused. Canadian justice is more tolerant than America&#8217;s. No one has been successfully prosecuted on behalf of simple possession of marijuana in years, as well as Amsterdam-style hash cafés operate in a grey zone, only occasionally being shut down. Because of judicial leniency, officers prefer to see their targets collared in the US. The &#8220;Great Escape&#8221; gang were under surveillance on both sides of the border, but were arrested in Washington.
In the long run, numerous British Columbians, on both left as well as right, take that legalisation as well as regulation are the answer. Just the sales tax on C$7bn of drugs would pay on behalf of several hospitals as well as schools, policing costs could be reduced, property crime by addicts to pay on behalf of their drug habits would be slashed, as well as the gang wars could be promptly reined in. &#8220;But the international politics are unbelievable,&#8221; said Dr Rob Gordon, director of Simon Fraser&#8217;s school of criminology. &#8220;The DEA [US Drug Enforcement Administration] starts to foam at the mouth at the idea of there being a huge, legal marijuana farm just north of the border. Under George Bush, the concensus was that if Canada ever moved to exercise its economic sovereignty, they would shut the border down by searching every vehicle.&#8221;
Until then, the best hope may be that one gang or another comes out on top, allowing it to impose stability, much as the Hell&#8217;s Angel&#8217;s bike gang used to do up to 15 or 20 years ago. Professor Boyanowsky said: &#8220;Those were the good old days.&#8221;

      <title>Engineering Unemployment Rates Are Skyrocketing</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/06/engineering-unemployment-rates-are-skyrocketing.html</link>
      <description>There are those in this country that trust that we require to go towards a &#8220;service sector&#8221; economy as well as to forgo manufacturing as the mainstay of our economy. It doesn&#8217;t take an engineer (or brain surgeon) to realize that the America we know today was built from manufacturing, not from a service sector. There simply isn&#8217;t sufficient funds on behalf of this country to transfer forward without us making stuff.

Now the problem is that we are losing engineering to layoffs as well as plant shutdowns, so you may be forced to request a brain surgeon on behalf of the details, if you don&#8217;t have the mental functionality to figure this out.
From SME&#8217;s Daily Executive Briefing:

Unemployment        Rate For Engineers Spikes
National Journal (4/6)        reported, &#8220;The unemployment rate on behalf of U.S. engineering as well as computer        occupations is rising at a faster pace than on behalf of other professional        occupations,&#8221; data by the Department of Labor&#8217;s Bureau of Labor Statistics        suggested. &#8220;An analysis of the data by IEE-USA, an organizational unit of        the Institute of Electrical as well as Electronics Engineers, found the        unemployment rate on behalf of all engineers grew from 2.9 percent in the fourth        quarter of 2008 to 3.9 percent in the first quarter of 2009.&#8221; Furthermore,        &#8220;for computer occupations, the unemployment rate went from 3.3 percent to        5.4 percent including a jump from 1.9 percent to 4.2 percent on behalf of out of        work software engineers as well as an increase of 5.7 percent from 3 percent on behalf of        unemployed computer scientists as well as systems analysts.&#8221; Network World (4/6, Dubie)        also covered the story.
Chemical        Workforce Losses Continue To Rise. Chemical &amp; Engineering        News (4/6, Voith) reported, &#8220;The chemical workforce in the U.S.        shrank by 11,300 in the first quarter as job losses in the industry        paralleled those in the broader economy, according to the Bureau of Labor        Statistics.&#8221; About &#8220;3,900 of the chemical employment opportunities were lost in March.&#8221; The        article noted, &#8220;The chemical industry&#8217;s rate of job loss has accelerated        compared to 2008. The March employment figure is down 3.3% versus per annum        ago, whereas full-year 2008 employment was down only 2.5% compared to        2007. The recession has also had an effect on the chemical industry&#8217;s        average weekly hours of work, which declined 1 hour to 40.9 hours from        March 2008.&#8221;

      <title>Tennessee Welfare Lottery Winners</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/06/tennessee-welfare-lottery-winners.html</link>
      <description>CHATTANOOGA - TennCare enrollees who hit the jackpot playing the Tennessee Lottery may not be as lucky as they think. Winnings over $600 must be reported to the state&#8217;s health care program on behalf of the poor as well as disabled, or the enrollee risks a fraud investigation. &#8220;People require to know that lottery winnings count as income,&#8221; TennCare Bureau spokeswoman Marilyn Elam said. TennCare&#8217;s 1.3 million enrollees at all times have been required to report any modification in income. The new twist is the lottery, which began this year. &#8220;A $20 win is not going to affect your eligibility but winning several thousand dollars could. If you don&#8217;t report the income as well as it does affect your eligibility, that could be grounds on behalf of fraud,&#8221; Elam said. Tony Garr, executive director of the Tennessee Health Care Campaign, an advocate on behalf of TennCare enrollees, said TennCare hasn&#8217;t done a good job of getting the word out about reporting lottery winnings. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think that is on the enrollees&#8217; radar screens,&#8221; he said. Elam said enrollees are told when they join the plan that they are responsible on behalf of reporting any additional sources of income to the Department of Human Services. They also receive reminders on the bottom of form letters as well as benefits explanations mailed to them. Although some Tenn-Care enrollees have had their status altered because of the fact that of lottery winnings, Elam cited federal privacy laws in declining to say how many. Lottery winners are responsible on behalf of paying the federal taxes on winnings up to $4,999. On payouts of $5,000 or more, the Lottery Corp. takes out federal taxes before giving the payout to the winners. TennCare as well as Department of Human Services officials have access to claims forms filed by Tennessee Lottery winners. The forms are cross-checked with welfare as well as TennCare rolls to determine if the winnings affect eligibility, if the winners have outstanding student loans or child support payments, or if they&#8217;ve received overpayments of food stamps or welfare benefits, Elam said.

      <title>REAL Conservatives CANNOT Honestly Defend Bush As A Conservative</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/07/real-conservatives-cannot-honestly-defend-bush-as-a-conservative.html</link>
      <description>
There should be a general rule in America that if someone begins defending Bush&#8217;s &#8220;conservatism&#8221; or his &#8220;war crimes&#8221;, that a Scarlet Letter &#8220;W&#8221; should be hung around their neck. A real conservative knows that George W Bush was never a fiscal conservative. Primarily, anyone who claims to be a conservative as well as defends the illegal invasion as well as war crimes by Bush as well as his cabal is no conservative as well as doesn&#8217;t have a clue what conservatism is about. You are but another reTHUGlican who wants to claim some mantle, when point in fact is that you have no idea what the mantle means or what it is to carry it. One key way to know is that if you disagree with Ron Paul, then you are no REAL conservative (and he is about the closest thing we have to a real conservative this country has).
So when you come here, asking questions like:
What has Bush done that can be deemed war crimes?
Do not anticipate to be treated as if you are some inquiring mind. I see you on behalf of what you are, someone, intentional or not, who is complicit in the tearing down of our liberties as well as reputation in the world by your foolish defense of the indefensible.
Don&#8217;t be surprised if you encounter this type of post as a response (first kindly, hoping you are just retarded as well as don&#8217;t know better, but suspecting the worse):
Extraordinary rendition, establishing as well as endorsing torture, illegal wiretapping of American citizens, illegal invasion of a Sovereign country that had done nothing to us, lies as well as deceit to lead us into that bogus as well as financially debilitating disaster as well as the murder of each as well as every Iraqi as well as American serviceman lost in this idiotic &#8220;war on behalf of profit&#8221;. He as well as his ilk are instrumental in the financial fleecing as well as banker&#8217;s bailout. His multitude of illegal &#8220;signing statements&#8221;, as well as if I were to guess, his part in the 9/11 attack/coverup.
Should I go on?
Nice as well as to the point with perhaps a single debatable issue (the illegal wiretapping, as well as that could be a war crime if wars were started by using lies propagated from those wire taps or if torture was conducted because of the fact that of those wire taps). But in every other instance I quickly noted, there's a strong opinion in this country (and obviously the rest of the world) that W as well as his corrupt crew of like-minded criminals did, in fact, conduct war crimes.
Just because of the fact that Obama is not forcing the investigation simply proves that he is corrupt also, but certainly does not prove that W is innocent.
But the giveaway that this particular &#8220;conservative&#8221; is nothing more than another Party ideological water carrier, is his response to my quick note:
How is illegal wiretapping ANYWHERE adjacent to a war crime?
Bush couldn&#8217;t have been more CALM during 9/11.
Terrorists were tortured…now they are released as well as doing their killing again. I don&#8217;t advocate torture on anyone, but it was better than releasing them.
Illegal invasion? Congress voted on a resolution! Iraq gassed so numerous Kurds! Saddam was a tyrant! He had his sons rape
newlywedded wives as well as forced the husbands to watch!
The financial crisis? Blame the banks that loaned to those who could not pay!
Nearly all of Congress knew Iraq had WMDs.
Ask Ted Kennedy about that.
&#8220;Bush couldn&#8217;t have been more calm&#8221;, so he is no war criminal? WTF? What does that mean?
I would venture to say that an estimated all murderous war criminals &#8220;seem&#8221; calm during the murderous event they are conducting. Ted Bundy was extremely calm as he enticed his victims into his killer&#8217;s lair. The Cho guy was &#8220;calm&#8221; as he killed all those kids. Jeffrey Dahmer was &#8220;calm&#8221; right before he ate his victims. And Cheney was calm as he denied sending NorthCom in to stop the jets from hitting the buildings, or when they &#8220;pulled&#8221; the buildings a few hours later.
Calm as a gentle rain of thermite.

&#8220;Terrorists&#8221; or people were tortured? Some were innocent as well as have been paid off by our government. You can't think, truly, that each as well as every person taken in as well as tortured by us or our designates in Black Site Prisons were &#8220;terrorists&#8221;, do you? I don&#8217;t give a damn how numerous people you claim were the opposite, show one. But there's ample proof that even children were imprisoned/tortured. Erroneous bullshit, no matter how &#8220;scary&#8221; or to what effect is meant is the height of ignorance or complicity. Maybe you get your jollies out of knowing children as well as innocent &#8220;brown people&#8221; were tortured as well as killed? Some &#8220;conservatives&#8221; are like that, but not REAL Conservatives. Here is what a Fake Conservative says about torturing children by crushing their testicles (which I am sure you are in complete agreement with):
Cassel: If the president deems that he&#8217;s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person&#8217;s child, there's no law that can stop him?
Yoo: No treaty.
Cassel: Also no law by Congress &#8212; that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo&#8230;
Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.
-Human rights expert Doug Cassel as well as John Yoo, 12/1/05
REAL conservatives are referred to as &#8220;conservative&#8221;, meaning they &#8220;conserve&#8221;. They conserve money (Bush spent more than any other president alive as well as then set up this financial ravaging on behalf of Obama to complete). They conserve weapons. They conserve lives as well as even children&#8217;s testicles, imagine that. They aren&#8217;t simply Party Clowns.


Saddam Hussein was indeed a bad guy, yet because of the fact that of your hero, W, we have killed or caused the deaths of far more people than he did. (You didn&#8217;t seem to draw attention to the FACT that Saddam Hussein killed on behalf of US, a minor misunderstanding on your part, I suppose). We gave him the weapons as well as technology. It was our country that supported Saddam&#8217;s rise to power. It was your other hero Rumsfeld shaking Saddam&#8217;s hand. But somehow this is justifiable to you? That is is ok to lie to the American public (and the world) to mislead us into supporting an illegal murderous invasion as well as kill countless little children.
You as well as your type are dangerous on behalf of this country, except when we can figure out a way to get through the MSM bullshit as well as brainwashing that has taken over America.

I vote that this country, preferably your hero, W, give you a one way ticket to your favorite vacation spot, Iraq. I can only hope that you two sit side by side as well as then leave the comfort of the plane to see your welcoming committee in Iraq take you in with open arms as well as kisses to each side of your face. I am quite sure that you shall be welcome with open arms, especially by all of the widows as well as children whose parents were gunned down by our illegal, murderous invasion. I&#8217;m sure they shall see your &#8220;conservatism&#8221; as well as welcome you in the proper fashion.
Snarking aside, of course I don&#8217;t desire you dead, conservative09. I desire you to wake up as well as realize that there's a small, but growing contingent of Americans that are waking up. We have had several communications since I started this blog post which truly turned my mind about its decision that you are just a sycophant as well as hence, the direction of this post.
I am still blasting fake conservatives, but just as we discussed, we truly require to stop the rhetoric fed us by The Elite as well as begin to evaluate the truth on the wedge issues, then focus on the things that are causing our country&#8217;s demise. The wedge issues are nothing in comparison as well as that is the point. The Elite wants us fighting over bullshit, while they are ravaging the country as we look away.

Just as we discussed, we have numerous things in common. Without politics involved, it is entirely likely that you as well as I would get along famously. But I would have to been totally honest that we don&#8217;t have time on behalf of this inane bickering about subjects that don&#8217;t matter. You may not think that W is a war criminal, but that would put you in the world&#8217;s minority. I also trust that there shall come a day of recompense as well as retribution on behalf of him as well as the entire cabal.
You wrote:
I get annoyed when people manufacture charges with no proof.  Maybe there are things Bush has done that can be war crimes.  I understand your anger from him.  But be fair.
The way any criminal investigation should work starts with the &#8220;charge&#8221; of a crime. I think there's ample &#8220;proof&#8221; even from Mr Bush&#8217;s posses words, that he was instrumental in the torture policy. I trust there's ample proof that the facts were &#8220;ginned up&#8221;, even totally falsified to convince the American public (and the rest of the world) to support this illegal invasion. There is certainly sufficient on behalf of a voracious as well as non-complicit justice department to see if what has been done is illegal. The fact that Bush&#8217;s justice department was filled with cronies is reason sufficient to suspect a coverup of illegality.And now with the proof of thermitic residue found in the 9/11 dust, I believ there's ample proof that something sinister as well as purposeful was done by Americans&#8230; TO Americans.
Now, how do you feel about finding the nonoparticle thermitic dust in the 9/11 remains? Is that reason sufficient on behalf of a &#8220;conservative&#8221; to desire real criminal investigations to happen?
What would it take on behalf of a conservative09 to begin to consider all of the facts as well as not just the ones that Fox news as well as Rush desire you to know?
Seriously, I am curious to the answer. What does it take to suspect someone when it appears glaringly obvious to me as well as numerous millions of others?

      <title>The Barbarism of Haley Barbour</title>
      <link>http://ditchcapo.cabbycentral.com/2009/04/07/the-barbarism-of-haley-barbour.html</link>
      <description>I hope you Mississippians are proud of your lobbyist Governor who must be considering a jog on behalf of the Whitehouse (and the scary thing is that there are actually a few ignorant rednecks who would vote on behalf of this piece of shit):

Barbour vetoes furniture manufacturing tax credits
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Gov. Haley Barbour has vetoed a bill that would&#8217;ve given tax credits to furniture manufacturers in Mississippi.
Please read the thumb in Mississippians&#8217; eye from the AP source.
Essentially, motion furniture had its heyday in North Mississippi on behalf of numerous years, until manufacturers started sending the cut &amp; build operations overseas. I have witnessed so numerous companies shut down or lay off so numerous people over the past 4 or 5 years that it is amazing that the rednecks I know haven&#8217;t gone at the end of a few heads.
Now this idiot Haley Barbour (he must be acting out his retribution towards his parents on behalf of naming him Haley&#8230; I mean, really. WTF?) has vetoed the only sound way to retain the Chinese honest.
Can you feel Haley&#8217;s love on behalf of his residence state as well as the lives of working Mississippians?
I wonder if he as well as Bobby Jindal plan this ignorant, constituency back-stabbing shit together? Is that the new reTHUGlican ticket on behalf of Pres as well as VP?
