NEVER AGAIN

The Democrats gave our totally delusional
President a Father's day gift: a blank check
for continuous war.

There were tip-off signs the Dems were not
going to abide by the Nov. 2006 election
cry to say halt to the insane Iraq escapade.
The first inkling came when the Dems put
Steny Hoyer in to be majority leader over
Jack Murtha. Ye gads! among his baggage
is the fact he has been ambiguous on the
right or wrongs of the war. Too, Steny's
sister works for the Israel cause.The same
Israel whose cadre of neo-cons got us into
this Iraqi mess with their plots and lies.
NEVER AGAIN will this blog assist Dems
as a party. Individuals, yes. Party, no.

On a personal note: How could I have been
so naive as to believe the current band of
Dems would adhere to the will of the voters
and stanch the blood of the calamitous war.
I grew up talking to Democrats about Dem-
ocrats and watching them comply to the
plebicites with gusto. Grandfather was in
the N.Y. Assembly with Al Smith & Jimmy
Walker, I should have known this crew of
Democrats would not measure up. But this
war is so bad, so wrong, so noxious for Am-
erica, for Iraq, for the region, for the world
it distorts reason in some cases.

One question: If we achieve "victory" what
will we achieve? Think. No platitudes, no
cliches. What will we win? The answer is
nothing, since we would only recover part
of what we have lost. Our army is depleted.
Our national guards are decimated. Some
civil rights have been thwarted. As of now
30,000 soldiers have been killed or maim-
ed. God alone knows how many Iraqi men,
women and children dead,wounded,miss-
ing. We have lost the trust and respect of
former friends and allies. We've made a
billion enemies in the Arab and Muslim
worlds. Our future is one of excessive
security priorities and more loss of our
civil rights. The longer this horror goes
on,the more the above havoc will grow
for many generations to come.

SJ started a web site last year" calling
to light the misrepresentations of our
transient officials and the main stream
media." Been many blasts against Bush,
Cheney, Condi, Rummy, Bolton et al.
Now for every punch thrown at the Re-
pug party another wil go to the hide of
the Democrats. NEVER AGAIN will the
Dems get a free ride on the blog.

Harry Hopkins, affectionally known by
FDR as Harry The Hop, was a Dem ad-
visor, free loader, and fund raiser par
excellence. He was credited with saying
that a winning political strategy is to
"tax and tax, spend and spend, elect
and elect" May be true, but they will
have to do it without my support. For
any pol, that hasn't the courage or for-
sight to vote against the Iraq insanity,
has no standing to speak for this land.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, KEEPING
THEIR EYES ON THE WRONG BALLS

Everyone knows Alberto Gonzalez and Paul
McNulty hate one another and Al is a weak
sister, but a grandiose liar. His super-gen-
tle and lovable staffer Monica Lewinsky,
oops sorry, Monica Badling, no, no, no, no.
Let's call her Monica Goodie-Two-Shoes to
keep this fair and balanced. Anyway, the
lady helped her old boss out after confirm-
ing he was a liar by telling the political
world Paul was also a liar. I think the term
she used were they made "inaccurate "
statements.They teach one to avoid a dirty
word like liar at tractable Regent Unversity.

By far the most damning admission of Two
Shoes appearance was her saying she "cr-
ossed the line" by taking her religious and
political views into consideration for car-
eer applicants. In so doing she set aside the
cherished checks and balances Franklin
and company embedded in our hides. Her
methodolgy of hiring (& I presume, firing)
abandons free thought and constructive
ideas while it brings strength to an imp-
erial presidency & unobstructured power
& cruelty to militarism. By selecting only
conservative, religious (sky-god brand)
thinkers to man the oars the executive
branch becomes malleable to its leader
and putty to its military.

Want to hear the best part? The Dept Of
Justice said they would investigate weth-
er Mz. Goodie Two Shoes did hire thata-
way. Alberto, Paul, Fellas Mz Goodie not
only admitted she hired as described
herein but that it was a mistake she
"regretted"

Geez Guys, get with it.The wars still on.

TAKE THE GOODIES, THE POWER & LIE

Even David Brooks, chief sorcerer of the
neo-con gangsters, is voicing futility with
his erstwhile brain trust. Brooks in his
May 1 column NYTimes, failed to connect
on why the corruption of the Repugs is so
blatant. Davey, it's easy, there is/was no
thought, no plan, (sound familiar?). It
was just another grab all you can caper.
Because they saw the debauchery of the
Repug leaders and their hunger for pow-
er they found the underlings very easy
pickens. Have you ever seen the list of
takers for the Abramoff slush fund? It
is as if everyone wanted in on the act.
That was the closing curtain for some of
those acolytes and there will be more in
the next year or two. But Rummy, The
Dick Cheney and that level will miss the
power, but they'll have their end stashed
in safe places. Dave lad, did you read that
one of your favorites, Augusto Pinochet,
had 125 bank accounts? It happens at all
levels.

So, with the war, the criminal rot of the
party plus the rank ineptitude of Condi
Mushroom Cloud (and her husb oops so
sorry) and her laggard, obstinate Pres-
ident you have the makings of another
40 years as the congressional minority.

David, why don't you write about the
supreme tragedy and legacy of
this administration. After 6 years of on-
going monumental mistakes the Pres-
ident still has not a clue as to what he
has caused. The damage is world-wide.

If it wasn't so serious it would be fun to
see Woody Allen film a sequel to "take
the money and run and make the pro-
tagonist "The Dukester" Cunningham,
that noble F. O. G. (Friend Of George)
