2/8 We call on President Obama and Congress to support HR 2404, calling for an exit strategy from
Afghanistan; HR 3699, prohibiting any increase in the number of U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan, and to
establish improved and expanded Medicare for All to residents of the United States. We cannot let them
forget that we are watching and waiting for the next election!
2/8 Finally, Liberals Get a War President of Their Very Own
2/8 Sarah Palin Aims to Bust Up the Republican Party -- And the Tea Party Movement. Yay Sarah!
2/7 As Israel keeps threatening the regional countries with war, Egyptian maritime sources say the Israeli
navy has deployed two missile ships to the Persian Gulf. And the U.S. is cheering them on. Why should the
U.S. be the only nation-state to be a bully?
2/6 Like we needed to be told: White Racial Resentment Bubbles Under the Surface of the Tea Party
Movement
2/5 Our Congress is broken. Even at a moment of extraordinary crisis, Members spend an endless amount
of time simply raising campaign cash. We need Congress to focus; to address the problems that burden
America; to do its job. We can’t rely upon Congress alone. We must begin taking the steps necessary to
secure to Congress the power to protect its own independence. To that end, we are launching a process
today to get state legislatures to call for a Convention. Learn more about the path to a Constitutional
Convention
2/5 After insisting for a year that failure was not an option, President Barack Obama is now acknowledging
his health care overhaul may die in Congress.
2/5 Ted Nugent: "Obama makes me want to ‘throw up’, Rolling Stone publisher ’should die’. Sigh. Nugent
wants to be titular head of the KuKluxTeabaggers now?
2/5 The director of U.S. national intelligence told the House Intelligence Committee the government has the
right to kill Americans abroad. There are 10 problems with this:
2/5 Pentagon seeks untold billions to battle terror abroad. "We will continue the war on terror until the very
last terrorist, born or unborn is killed on put in prison," says War Secretary Gates. He added, "...and this
should keep our war machine industry in business for a very long time."
2/4 The deaths of three American soldiers in a Taliban suicide attack on Wednesday lifted the veil on
United States military assistance to Pakistan that the authorities here would like to keep quiet. Pakistan?
Since when did we invade Pakistan?
2/4 US Govt Can Kill Citizens Overseas as Part of ‘Defined Policy’
2/4 Research links violent video games to increased aggression. No wonder the military loves them.
2/4 Middle-class American youth are entering the military in significant numbers today, drawn by more
competitive pay, a battered civilian job market and the buzz surrounding an improved GI Bill education
benefit. US Military Recruiting Myths Continue to Be Shattered as 2009 Recruiting Boom Continues
2/4 The Pentagon announced yesterday (Feb. 3) that tens of thousands of Marines are invading the
southern provinces of Afghanistan in the next few days. General Barry McCaffrey predicts 300-500 killed
and wounded each month in the next few months. The generals never bother talking about the loss of
Afghan lives. Marines Brace For New Push In Southern Afghanistan
2/3 Shoshana Johnson survived gunshot wounds to both legs and 22 days as a prisoner of war in Iraq.
Life wasn't so easy when she came home, either. Ex-POW in Iraq war recalls nightmares, depression
2/3 Interesting. Does this mean the war will be over, since the leader of Afghanistan will be working with a
faction of Afghani's called the Taliban? Hmmm. Despite very public objections from the Obama
Administration, the Afghan government says it intends to go forward with plans to seek reconciliation with
the Taliban’s leadership.
2/2 In the biggest attack so far by the American spy planes in the Pakistani tribal areas, the US drones on
Tuesday rained a barrage of missiles on different locations killing 17 Pakistanis.
2/1 President Barack Obama’s new budget, to be released today, forecasts two consecutive years of near
$160 billion in war funding, far more than he hoped when elected, and just a little less that of Bush's
1/27 Sarah Palin's Tea Party Dinner Disaster. Unsold tickets, activists demanding refunds—will Palin wind
up addressing a half-empty room at the Tea Party convention?

" Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation
of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be
respected and revered." Felix Adler: - From: An Ethical Philosophy of Life
"The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in
others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god
enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear." Felix Adler: An Ethical
Philosophy of Life
"The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.: Richard Francis
Burton
"The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping." Izaak Walton
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being". Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
