JOHN CONYERS NEEDS OUR HELP

THIS MAN IS A VERY BRAVE MEMBER OF CONGRESS. WE MUST HELP HIM DO HIS JOB.

Rep. John Conyers is a veteran of wars on Capitol Hill. Thanks to his blogging efforts, we moblized to bring attention to all the lies and subterfuge that George Bush is using to turn America into the United States of Facism. Today, he's attempting to bring more attention and the possibility of impeachment, since Bush has admitted he's been spying on ordinary American Citzens, and has basically dared Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against him. Almost as if he knows the current critters in Congress aren't going to do jack.

But John Conyers is doing some challenging of his own. These are issues that he can't be silent on, and he's not going to. Let's help him out by visiting his blog:

DICK CHENEY V. SATAN = NO DIFFERENCE

As I said: NO DIFFERENCE.

Many Christians don't want to know what Satan looks like. Most of the time, Satan tends to morph into something we want, then we get it and find out it's bad for us. He doesn't give up on trying to corrupt a Christian easily.

Five years ago, many in this country thought we wanted George Bush and Dick Cheney in the Executive Office. Five years later, we find that we don't have a President, but one who fancies himself as a self-styled dictator, complete with media propaganda, and secret organizations formed to break the law and spy on citizens like you and me. We don't need to ask the "What would Jesus Do?" question here - Jesus wouldn't have any part of this operation, nor of Bush and Cheney's antics.

Instead of doom and gloom prophecies, I'd like to offer this: even the most powerful person can be brought down by the smallest of factors. Bush thought that he could blow by America his willful breaking of the law, while it is stringently applied to the rest of us. Congress sent the first message that the Administration may be cracking by failing to renew the Patriot Act. Hurricane Katrina really exposed Bush's callous indifference to human suffering, and the tax cuts for the wealthy really should tell middle and working-class Americans, what this Administration thinks of you.

Many of you voted for Bush, cause you thought Al Gore(2000) and John Kerry(2004) were too "wimpy". Well, "wimpy" didn't start wars without just cause, and use the Constitution as recycled toilet paper. "Wimpy" wouldn't have shipped off jobs overseas and telling us to work menial jobs so the economy can boom.

"Wimpy" wouldn't have allowed September 11th to happen and send all of America into a fright fest, looking for Daddy to protect them.

Many of us had fathers who did protect us. The President is supposed to do the job of the office, while Upholding the Constitution. Bush has crapped on the Constitution, pissed on Americans and told us to shut up and take it, cause he knows what's best for us.

As an African-American, what's best for me is to continue not being treated as a second class citizen, pre-Civil Rights. What's best for me is to have a job that pays a liveable and sustainable wage, so I can live comfortably and help others in need. What's best for me is the right to choose whether or not I want to become a mommy (my choice is "I do" until I can't)and to have my prescriptions filled by a pharmacist whose job it is to do just that and shut up with biblical pontification.

What's best for me is a healthy environment and the preventing of global warming, while preserving this land that God has given us. What's best for me is the opportunity for a quality, public education, and that opportunity be given to others, regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status or any obstacle that would prevent that.

What's best for me...is probably what's best for any and all Americans. Having said all of this, I have another Christmas wish - that some brave soul in Congress starts mentioning the "I" word. As in "Impeachment". We can't continue in this manner, because then we will have that world that George Orwell spoke of with his book "1984". While the Administration may not be expert in Constitutional Doctrine, many of them appear to be well versed with "1984" for everything, from the PNAC document, to Bush's confession of breaking the law, seems based on Newspeak and Big Brother.

But I know the God I serve. He is loyal, kind, longsuffering, peaceful, compassionate, merciful, but most of all, He is Just, and hates to have perversions of any kind done in His Name. And knowing this gives me hope and the courage to write out and live my convictions. As I hope these words give you some sort of comfort and hope that things will get better. I can't say if the worst has past, or if the worst of this situation with the Bush Administration is yet to come. Yet, I believe in my heart and my spirit that God has heard and is answering our prayers, and so I write this to encourage anyone who reads this that God is with you; He has heard your cries for relief, and He will do what you have asked. Please continue to believe that as we embark into the Holiday season.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS...

BESIDES SOMETHING FROM THIS PLACE...

I would like Santa to bring me:

Some Democrats with a spine

The Eradication of the DLC

More job opportunities for Real Bloggers and not the fools over at Pajama Media

To see a real picture of Steve Gillard (he puts that "spot" blurb over his pic)

An uncorrupted Congress

A President who tells the truth 80% of the time

A Vice-President who doesn't operate as if he's the President

Lite Democrats to Go Republican

Lite Republicans to Go Democrat

And a fine time to be had by all. Despite the world's circumstances, as long as God allows me to see another day not promised to me, I will find ways to praise Him and be grateful for those of you who take the time to visit my blog.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAS THE PRESIDENT BEEN DRINKING?

GOD HELP AMERICA SINCE THIS GUY'S DOING THE DRIVING

I have to ask, because if what he told NBC's Brian Williams about his lackadaisical response to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, not to mention that while America was welcomed in IRAQ, it wasn't a "peaceful welcome"...

To continue to defend Satan's spawn, better known as VP Dick Cheney;

And finally, to isolate himself to the point that newsmagazines like Newsweek and Time are doing cover stories on his behavior, you have to ask the question:

IS THE PRESIDENT DRINKING?

Then we need to figure out how to lend the Democrats some backbone so they can invoke the 25th Amendment...

LIEBERMAN IS SEEN AS A TRAITOR

THIS IS WHAT A TRAITOR LOOKS LIKE

And after basically applying his lips to George Bush's rear end in public view, I wonder why he would be seen as a Traitor to the Democratic Party.

I'm also wondering why he's complaining to the New York Times.

I'm wondering if he will ever sober up off the GOP Kool-Aid.

There are a lot of things I'll forgive Al Gore for. Like running as a wimp when he ran for President in 2000, and now getting his mojo back and looking like a progressive who kicked the DLC to the curb.

But...naming Joe Lieberman as his running mate, and elevating him to national prominance, just to watch Lieberman become the second coming of Zig-Zag Zell Miller?

Hmmm...The Christian Progressive Liberal has to think long and hard on that one...

HARRY REID BI--HSLAPS JOEMENTUM

THE FACE OF TRUE LEADERSHIP

Over on DailyKos, the bloggers are discussing the very public smackdown Minority Leader Harry Reid administered to Joe Lieberman regarding Lieberman's constant undermining of Reid in his leadership position.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi needs to do likewise, and I think she will. And I hope she starts with Rahm Emmanuel and Ellen Tauscher's behinds, post haste.

DLCers need to get the message: either unite with the Party on the right issues, or get the hell out of the PARTY.

As South Knox Bubba would say: Ok, then.

IT'S CALLED "WHISTLEBLOWING" FOR A REASON

WHISTLEBLOWING

We call the process "whistleblowing" for a reason. To call attention to inadequacies, inefficiency, waste, fraud and/or abuse of Government resources entrusted to those who have the charge from Congress and the President to carry out the mission of government agencies. So, when a high-ranking official in the U. S. Park Police calls attention to the fact she's being charged to carry out activities to facilitate National Security in the Nation's Capitol, but is not given enough resources with which to do the job, she's stripped of her badge.

So, I'm promoting her website, where she's still fighting the good fight. Isn't Teresa Chambers the type of government employee we want working for us, the people?
Something is very wrong when the Government punishes people for doing what they were hired to do.

But, then again, this IS the Bush Administration, and it's looking more like a facist dictatorship every day. January 21, 2009 cannot come fast enough....

WHY WOULD WE LISTEN TO RUSH LIMBAUGH?

DIDN'T SERVE IN VIETNAM BECAUSE OF A CYST ON HIS HORSE'S REAR END.

So why is anyone listening to this blowhard? Especially when he's sliming those who went willingly and served their country?

David Sirota has the skinny on Arianna's blog; so go check it out.

I don't waste my time writing about primordial slime like Limbaugh, when David Sirota does it better than I do.

NOW WE KNOW WHY LIBERMAN LOVES BUSH

Apparently, Joementum has decided he wants a Cabinet position, and apparently, the Bush Administration is hinting they may want to replace Donald "go with the Army you have" Rumsfeld.

Now we know the reason for this:



I've never had any use for Joe Lieberman, so this comes as no surprise. He's been Bush's whore for so long, it's just an accepted fact of political life in DC. I also think he knows his political career is on the downturn, so why not go out in a blaze of glory (in this instance, as Defense Secretary).

God help us all.

A DLCer IN SAN FRANCISCO

YOU CAN GIVE ME MONEY, BUT I WON'T BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTERESTS


According to my friends over on the Pesky Fly, Rep. Harold Ford, Jr., eager to fill his campaign coiffers, scheduled a fundraiser out in San Francisco this weekend. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and DA Kamala Harris are listed as Co-Chairs for the event.

Funny thing, though. Newsom and Harris, once they got wind of Ford's votes against gay marriage, the Patriot Act and other BS, cancelled on attending the fund-raiser. In fact, many politicos in Ess Eff advised Ford to cancel his fundraiser ALTOGETHER.

Ford has a lot of arrogance to think he could waltz into San Francisco and pick up thousands of dollars in campaign money just because that "D" is in front of his name. Bay Area folks are more savvy than that. We're the same bunch who told Ah-nold Schwarzenegger to take a hike when he went after Gray Davis' job as Governor (all nine counties in Northern Cal voted to retain Davis - the thug in Southern Cal got Ah-nold in). The Bay Area recognizes a DLCer when they see one. We also know when someone is trying to pimp us for money, too. In this instance, Harold could take lessons from former mayor Willie Brown on how to pimp the system and win.

According to the Commercial Appeal, Ford is considering pushing back his fundraiser to mid-January. Yet, without Harris and Newsom on board, and every gay and lesbian community group calling for a boycott, Harold still won't get any love in the City by the Bay. Either he's desperate, delusional or stupid to think that we in California don't have the intelligence to read one's voting record.

News Flash, Harold: we did scrutinize Barack Obama for the Senate before ponying up money to his campaign. Because he convinced us he was a progressive, and so far, while his stance on Iraq stinks, he hasn't truly disappointed...yet. If you thought because you're African-American and a Democrat that we would do the same thing for you, you underestimated us, and badly. We're like Janet Jackson when we ask, "What have you done for me lately?" and if you can't answer that (and your voting record says you can't), don't let the doorknob hit you where the good Lord split ya. You have a lot of nerve to come here and beg for money while telling different segments of the population to kiss your ass (sorry, the Christian Progressive Liberal is really pissed at this) with a voting record that looks like the second coming of Newt Gingrich. You'd best bury your latent jealousy of Obama and review your past history, let alone justify it, if you're serious about being a United States Senator.
You're the reason the Democratic party has experienced the fractures in leadership that it has - with your own version of "flip-flopping" and obfuscation.

We don't like it when you piss on us and try to tell us it's raining. First, show us you can be a competent member of the House of Representatives, before taking this tired act of yours to the United States Senate. While we need to gain a majority in both houses of Congress next year, America deserves better than what you're offering.
