The following articles concern the atrocities committed by George Bush on a national level. Many of these atrocities are impeachable offenses. _______________________________________________________________________ Bush warns of dangers in Patriot Act delay Is he setting us up for another Bush sponsored terrorist attack? ______________________________________________________________ Mining for trouble
November 19, 2005
A PAIR OF DAMAGING environmental proposals have been stripped out of the
budget bill before Congress. Thanks to bipartisan opposition, no new oil drilling will be allowed off the nation's coasts or in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Yet an equally troubling provision remains in the bill, placed there by Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-Tracy), who as head of the House Resources Committee has pushed an extraordinary number of wilderness-trashing ideas this year. This one would allow the government to sell off millions of acres of public land for mining, for as little as $1,000 an acre. The deal comes complete with mineral rights, which are generally worth far more than the land. _______________________________________________________________________ LAWYERS GUNS AND MONEY "Just Put Down That Law Suit, Pardner, and No One Gets Hurt."

NEW YORK
- There are 200 million guns in civilian hands in the United States
That works out at 200 per lawyer. Wade through the foaming websites of the
anti-Semites, weekend militiamen and Republicans, and it becomes clear that many
among America's well-armed citizenry have performed the same calculation.
Because if there is any hope of the ceasefire that they fear, it will come out
of the barrel of a lawsuit.
And that is why a shoot-to-kill coalition in the Senate, led by Wild Bill Frist
(R-Tenn) and his simpering sidekick, Scary Harry Reid (D-Nev), voted yesterday
to grant immunity from law suits to gun makers. ___________________________________________________________ Dangerous Energy Bill Provision Goes Unreported By Kelpie Wilson, Tue Jul 12th, 2005 at 05:28:20 PM PDT :: Economics When the Senate passed its version of the energy bill a few weeks ago, the Washington Post opined: "At some point - maybe 10 years from now, maybe 20 - the energy bill currently wending its way through the Senate will be seen as an enormously significant lost opportunity." The Post went on to decry the lack of provisions to reduce fossil fuel consumption, called it a "status quo" bill, and said it "was nothing to be proud of." ___________________________________________ More Jobs Hype Posted May 20, 2005 Careless journalists and commentators are hyping the 274,000 new April payroll jobs as evidence of the health of the U.S. economy. An examination of the details of the new jobs puts a different view on the matter. April’s job growth is consistent with the depressing pattern of U.S. employment growth in the 21st century: The outsourced U.S. economy can create jobs only in domestic nontradable services. ____________________________________________________________________________________ |
