Doing so is choosing to be condemned to the very history our founding fathers fought to change. Had they known that the true nature of government is power, they might have thought differently, or fought harder to limit that power. populist Wed, 15 Nov 2006 17:54:16 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/candidate_hillary_does_iraq Hillary believes that "the President should abandon his escalation of the war." She chooses not to say "his" war because it could not have been "his" war without the help of people like "her." populist Sun, 08 Jul 2007 16:12:40 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_end_of_the_bush_dynasty_part_iv When in trouble, as the Bush administration clearly is, it can count on its corporate media allies to step up and help out just as they did it during the Johnson-Nixon years when they backed their "stay the course" and "Vietnamization" agendas. populist Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:30:36 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/chicken_hawks_are_real_and_dangerous Most recently, the chicken hawk label has been put on politicians and people in government, think tanks, various organizations as well as average Americans who pushed for and supported the invasion of Iraq, but avoided service in Vietnam when they were younger. populist Thu, 30 Nov 2006 04:50:09 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/christian_fascism Recently, I viewed a chilling documentary "Jesus Camp", which examines "the evangelical belief that a revival is underway in America that requires Christian youth to assume leadership roles in advocating the causes of their religious movement." The film follows a group of evangelical kids who attend a summer camp where they are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in God's army. populist Fri, 09 Feb 2007 19:18:26 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/christians_hindus_and_the_american_challenge If you support religious freedom, and admit that this nation is a secular one, then you must grant the same freedoms to other religions. Therefore, the Senate should next open with a Wiccan prayer, a chant to Zeus, an ode from the Upanashads, a passage from the Popul Vu, a selection from the Enuma Elish, a page from the Tao Te Ching, a paragraph from the Quran, and so on.But fundamentalists don t want this. Instead they seek the transformation of America into Iran populist Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:20:13 GMT http://www.newschallengeblog.org/2007/09/06/citizen-journalism-scary-to-the-establishment/ Seems that some in the established media are using fear tactics to convince people that citizen journalism is not a good choice for the future. On insider claims that people could get in quot;dangerous quot; situations, there s scams amp; fraudsters out there, the media is just better, and the like. Sounds like he s just protecting his job. populist Thu, 06 Sep 2007 22:33:36 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/clarification_of_the_uses_of_impeachment We have seen a great deal of nitpicking as to what constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor, but it is obvious from the context that one of the greatest high crimes and misdemeanors is a breach of public trust. populist Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:31:05 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/compassion_of_the_mind We've heard a lot in recent years about "compassionate conservatism" or "conservatism with a heart."
