There are no words to even describe the feelings I have about this country right now. From the death penalty to bush (the lower case is intentional) calling the medicare drug plan a "good deal".
I feel so ashamed that there are soldiers dying for the mess that we have let this country become.
I love my country but I ABHOR the morons that we have ELECTED to run it. Wait...no...I take that back. I meant to say the morons that we allowed to STEAL an election.

Great post and I agree.

I say we get an independent in the Whitehouse.... one who is against the DP.... one who CARES about the people in this country. Somebody we don't have to be ashamed of.

Edited to add that as long as Bush is "president" I will not stand for the anthem at sporting events, nor will I even face the flag.

And yes, I said that over there and got death threats from the usual cast of psychos...

It was either Doc or DEE who said that if they ever saw me sitting while the anthem was played in CoAmerica Park (nice try... I've never been to Detroit) that they would beat the sh!t out of me and nobody would stop them...

I have a wonderful idea for a political cartoon for all of this...too bad my artistic skills leave something to be desired. Any suggestions???

Dear SDL,
Maybe a person or two here will now understand why it is known as the "Scum Site" over there. Probably the only use any of them could be put to is as a "Low grade Demon" extra in "Charmed"............lol I bet there are no sewer rats left in Detriot, with people like them around they will have emigrated in case they get given a bad name.......lol

Love and hugs,
Judy

well doc is canadian and so i guess he would give a sh*t for the american anthem and i didnt experience doc being that primitive against people ... threats like that sound more like D.E.E. .... i had several discussions with him and you CAN have good discussions with him and he can be a real reasonable guy .. but well he tends to have some extremist thoughts sometimes ... what else do you expect from a c.o .... lately a friend gave me a link to a documentary about crimes c.o s committ (torturing, tormenting and even killing of helpless inmates ... it was on channel 4) ... and it just confirmed what i thought about c.o s anyways .. i know these about stories since i have several friends in prison ... i often really liked to discuss with D.E.E but when he shows his radical side you get the impression that he would be able to committ crimes like that too...
The link below you can watch thje documentary online

and this one, directly from windows media player:

you might be shocked what c.os do and get away with it cuz these crimes get pushed under the rug by the states and get covered by other c.os and officials ...

I was at my weekly anti-war "cornering" tonight and my "fellow" Americans who drove by said such nice things to us like "GO BACK TO RUSSIA/FRANCE/CANADA," "GO Ff*ck YOURSELF COMMIES," and "GODDAMN BOLSHEVIKS!" One fellow American screamed he was coming back with some of his Marine buddies to "teach us a lesson."

Now *they* make me ashamed to be American just as much as Bush*tler does...

Dear SDL,
I think the lesson would be that the Marines no more want to be in Iraq than we want them there. Pretty much the same as the British troops and the North of Ireland.

Love and hugs,
Judy

'Revenge will stop with me'
Michael Berg has taken to the streets of Wilmington
By RYAN CORMIER
The News Journal

Just after the sun dipped beyond the horizon on a busy Friday rush hour, two young men in a darkened car pulled to a stop on Wilmington’s Delaware Avenue.

The men looked over at the cluster of anti-war protesters standing on the I-95 overpass and one twentysomething yelled, “Get over it!”

Most of the 15 or so protesters took the shout as a knee-jerk reaction to their cause. Some even laughed.

Not Michael Berg.

At the moment, he was holding a homemade sign bearing a photo familiar to people around the world, and the words, “Nick Berg April 12, 1978 – May 7, 2004.” The haunting photo showed his son, Nick, sitting in an orange jumpsuit with arms and feet bound. Five masked men stand menacingly behind him. They’re armed.

The 1 1/2-year-old photo was taken from a video circulated last year by al-Qaida after terrorists captured Nick in Iraq, where he was looking for work repairing radio towers.

In the video, the 26-year-old Nick matter-of-factly states his name along with those of his family members before he is knocked on his side, screaming as one of the men cuts his head off.

“Get over it,” the driver on Delaware Avenue shouts.

Berg does not react. His steely gaze remains fixed in their direction. His expression does not change. The traffic light soon turns green and the car drives off.

He remains silent, until asked about the encounter.

"I don't respond to people set in their ways," the soft-spoken Wilmington resident says with the sign still held high. "I stay in a peaceful place within myself."

[....]

"I didn't do enough to stop the war to save my own son," says Michael, an athletic 60-year-old who looks much younger and exudes a Buddha-like calm. "I can't do anything now to save my own son, but I can do something to save your son."
