This failure has removed the sovereignty of we the people, and made Congress much more powerful than it should be. populist Tue, 02 Jan 2007 20:58:57 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_prescription_for_peace Rather than allowing ourselves to be filled with fear, the fear of loosing our jobs, afraid that someone might be a bit upset by what we say or do; let's reverse course. Why not strive to teach the things that nobody wants to hear, demonstrate the courage of our convictions, risk the consequences of telling students "the truth." populist Tue, 21 Nov 2006 05:11:53 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_serious_congressional_inquiry_on_iraq_is_necessary Now that the American people have expressed their strong concerns about the Iraq War and other improper conduct by those in power, the new Congress will be encouraged to investigate and uncover other activities that may be unethical and/or criminal. populist Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:15:01 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_small_but_important_error A huge article spread across today's front page. Another dead president, Gerald Ford, is eulogized in print. A sentence leapt out at me!"The only unelected President." A phrase I've heard 100x on the air today. Oh if true, my world would be a different place! How can we forget so soon - in the year 2000 a man, named Bush, was not elected to office populist Wed, 03 Jan 2007 03:16:50 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_trial_giving_kangaroos_a_bad_name While few villains are more worthy than the man called the Butcher of Baghdad for whatever fate might befall him, not even a former dictator of his "stature" should have to answer for his crimes before an illegal tribunal established by an occupying power that has no authority under international law. populist Tue, 14 Nov 2006 00:20:56 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_trying_answer_to_a_legitimate_question Apathy in our modern industrialized world rules the day, particularly in the realm of politics. And in the United States it appears to reign supreme. That is exactly why we seem to be content. as if Tweedledee and Tweedledum truly represented both party in power and opposition; any other ideas being frowned upon. populist Fri, 23 Feb 2007 20:07:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/a_viable_alternative_to_the_surge The problem isn't a lack of alternatives to expanding this war. It's finding the political courage to stand up to entrenched corporate interests and their toadies in government, both here and abroad, who have a stake in our continued commitment. populist Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:04:33 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/protect_america_act__cheetah_for_tyranny The single largest anti-Constitutional contribution to the Bush Regime by the Protect America Act (PAA) is its effective cancellation of legislative and judicial oversight on warrantless wiretapping. It authorizes open-ended surveillance of Americans overseas phone calls and e-mails without a warrant.When this bill was signed into law on 08-05-07, legislative and judicial power in the executive branch instantly grew by several orders of magnitude. The Constitution s separation-of-powers principle had its arms ripped off. populist Fri, 21 Sep 2007 01:14:17 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/afghanistan_the_other_lost_war The US war on Afghanistan was planned well in advance (at least a year or more) of 9/11 - which provided the claimed justification for it. It was part of the US strategic plan to control the vast oil and gas resources of Central Asia that Zbigniew Brzezinski under President Carter explained the importance of in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard. populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 05:15:48 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/america_is_helping_deice_homo_sovieticus Give us a break, Mr. Putin, sharing a radar station in Azerbaijan, US and Russia? You were joking, we assume, but the truth is that our august leader has made a calculated decision from which there is no backing away. Although that decision likely originated with the pea-brained ideologues advising him - who hold the reins at the Pentagon - it s a sure bet he ll stick with it during the remaining months of his presidency. populist Mon, 02 Jul 2007 16:05:56 GMT
