Fortunately some fine citizens have posted some videos of Kucinich’s speech from last night on YouTube. I’m going to post a few of them here on my blog for your enjoyment and edification.
This one I find particularly interesting, because it shows how truly disrespectful some members of the House can be. These are the people that we democratically select and pay to go to Washington in our stead, listen to the issues, and represent us once they know the facts.
When they are busy being rude to other Representatives, how can we expect them to make an educated decision on how to represent us? And even more importantly, how can we expect other House members to pay attention to these Representatives who are rude while others are speaking?
If you think that Obama is going to bring real change to the United States, you’re sadly mistaken. Oh yes, he can run a fairly clean campaign, and makes politics not look as dirty, but when you look at the real issues, it’s all the same.
If you haven’t yet seen this video of Obama’s speech at the AIPAC convention, it’s well worth watching to get a real look into what his plans are. Sure, he’s going to negotiate with Iran (which Bush refuses to do), but if that doesn’t work out it’s war time. And all this despite Iran’s constant assertion that they are not after an atomic bomb.
Oh, and let’s not forget Obama’s promise of thirty billion dollars in aid to Isreal. And I haven’t even questioned what in the hell he was doing campaigning at an AIPAC convention anyway… Think about it.
If you think McCain isn’t a slave to the Christian right, check out this video. Make no mistake - McCain is going to bring us exactly the same crap as we have dealt with for the past seven and a half years. Just take a look at this:
Isn’t it nice to know that when the mainstream media reports the “news” that it’s completely original content, and is most definitely not borrowed from (if not scripted by) the White House? This video proves that hardly a single word of the crap that we get fed on a daily basis from our allegedly trusted news sources is complete crap. Is it just me, or is anyone else puzzled as to how these news sources continue to thrive?
Oh yeah… this video is about seven minutes long, but is really worth watching.
Not surprisingly, there are a number of fundamentalist Christian organizations trying to infiltrate the minds of our American soldiers. They show no mercy in preaching the word of the lord, and demanding that young soldiers believe in the gospel according to these freaks. For more information on the intimidation and freakishness that is going on, check out this video.
What else can I say about this, except that more people need to be like Ms. Rohe and open their eyes to the reality of the fearmongering that we’re fed on a daily basis. Don’t buy the hype, and think for yourself. And most of all, don’t be afraid to stand up to authority, especially when you know you’re right. This is truly a historical speech, and deserves a few minutes of your time.
Last night on Hardball, Chris Matthews absolutely slaughtered Los Angeles conservative talk radio host Kevin James for being ignorant on the facts behind President Bush’s insane rant in Israel this week. Matthews repeatedly asked Kevin James what exactly Neville Chamberlain did, to which James had no answer except for spewing loud political crap.
It was painfully obvious that Kevin James had no idea what he was talking about, but his mouth wouldn’t stop moving. I’m sure he got that tactic from his old lawyering days.
But as sad and painful (funny) as the video below is to watch, it speaks volumes about the state of today’s political commentators. They are largely uneducated as to what in the hell they’re really talking about, and merely follow the party line. And these are the people we get our political opinions from. It’s a sad, not to mention extremely dangerous, state of affairs.
I know that this post will most likely get me on the no-fly list, or at least the extra airport security check list, but fuck it. I really don’t care.
In Osama bin Laden’s latest address (which came in the form of a still image of him with an audio track), he discusses the situation in Palestine, and encourages Muslims to liberate Palestine from the Israeli occupiers. Obviously, at this point that would be a hell of a job. The Israeli lobby in the United States is insanely powerful, and as long as the neocons are in power Israel isn’t going anywhere.
In the address, however, bin Laden also talks about the unbelievable injustices that are done to Muslims in Palestine. The Israelis are not nice occupiers, and bulldoze houses in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on a regular basis with no concern for the families and lives that they destroy in the process. Please bear in mind that they are not doing this within Israel - this is inside Palestine.
Sadly, just about everything that the mainstream media is reporting bin Laden as saying is not all that radical or off base. The Palestinians are being abused constantly, and the Zionists are not good people. The mainstream media would have you believe that bin Laden’s criticism of Zionists is antisemitic, but Zionists are distinctly different than the traditional everyday Jewish person.
Here’s a video that might help make more sense of the situation:
If you haven’t yet seen Keith Olbermann’s special comment last night on Bush’s already-infamous Yahoo! interview, you really should check it out. It’s a classic, and speaks the exact words of millions of American patriots. I wish I could add something, but Keith really says it all.
In an unprecedented display of solidarity with the families of the soldiers being killed in Iraq, George W. Bush has stayed off the golf course. Never before in American history has a president denied himself the pleasure of a day on the links, and George W. Bush should be commended. Or maybe I’m just over his bullshit and I’m being sarcastic. Check out the video:
