Put your ass on the line NOW : Stop Iraq Bushit !

Finally , a way to truly Fight the BushLies W- ar and be heard ! Get arrested for your beliefs in a non-violent protest to Stop the un-American death , torture and destruction of an ancient civilization .

Millions of us have protested and been ignored . The definition of insanity is: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results .

Ten anti-war activists led by Father Jerry Zawada were arrested...(2-5-07) on orders from Senator John McCain's office after members of the peace groups CODEPINK, Voices for Creative Nonviolence, and Veterans for Peace tried to meet with the Senator's legislative aide to discuss defunding the war. Activists sang the names of the 75 US servicemen and women from Arizona who have been killed in the war in Iraq, interspersed with the names of Iraqi civilians killed, and collectively chanted "We remember you," after each name and dropped a flower petal on the ground. They delivered framed photos of Iraqi civilians and US soldiers from Arizona who have been killed in Iraq and carried banners reading "Stop Funding War!" and "Americans Want a Prez for Peace".

If what you say carries NO risk,,, you might as well save your breath ! Nobody will listen...

I've signed up,,,will YOU ?

"Dad" is troop-speak for today's Bushit "Nam" in Iraq

When the CowardlyBushiters with more important things to do than to fight Vietnam themselves sent our men & women to "Die for His Lie" , we knew great songs like this were on the way:

Legendary folk guitarist Richard Thompson recorded an anti-war song which is told from the viewpoint of a US soldier who fears being killed in Iraq.

"Lately at concerts he's been singing a song in protest against the Iraq war titled 'Dad's Gonna Kill Me,'" Goldstein writes. "'Dad,' Thompson explains to audiences, is grunt-speak for 'Baghdad,' much as ''Nam' once meant 'Vietnam.'"

BTW, when does the "leeder" of America send the drunken BushitTwins to be cannon-fodder ?

MSNBC : Stenographers for the GOP ?

Our first screen-cap is from a professional journalistic organization; C-SPAN . They were covering Bush speaking to the Democratic Caucus today.
The second one I took is from a Schizophrenic news org that seems to be ( part-time ) parroting Republican talking points . On one hand , MSNBC reveals they know it's Democratic Party . On their other , lazy hand , it's the Democrat Party ! All morning long this crawl-crap read this way .
21st century Yellow TV Journalism or simple (minded) mistake ? Are they MSNBC or MFNBC ?














Oh yeah , one more thing about the " MSNBC Live " shoddy or biased coverage this morning ? Their clueless reporter couldn't figure out why ; ( paraphrasing ) "...although there nearly 500 in attendance yesterday , only about half of that number attended the speeches of the Dem presidential contenders today ..." . . . I guess MSNBC couldn't figure out ( from their OWN coverage ) that something like 200 of yesterday's attendees , Congressional Democrats ; were IN A DIFFERENT ROOM LISTENING TO BUSH's SPEECH ! ? ! Come on MSNBC Chief Dan Abrams ,,, Buy your reporters and crawl-writers A CLUE !


We report ,,, YOU decide !

========================================

So,,,NOW it's a "private matter" to raise Lesbian-born Babies ?

Dan Savage just NAILS the phony partisanship of the "Stone ALL LGBT but my Daughter" Christianist argument of President Dick Cheney and his fetid family/daughter/administration .

Mary Cheeney cries:---
“When Heather and I decided to have a baby, I knew it wasn’t going to be the most popular decision,” Ms. Cheney said, referring to her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe. She then gestured to her middle—any bulge disguised by a boxy jacket—and asserted: “This is a baby. This is a blessing from God... ---( wait,,,you mean she like , DID IT ? )---...It is not a political statement. It is not a prop to be used in a debate, on either side of a political issue. It is my child.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan says:--- Nice try, Mary.---Yes, it’s a baby, not a prop. My kid isn’t a prop either, but that never stopped right-wingers from attacking me and my boyfriend over our decision to become parents. The fitness of same-sex couples to parent is very much part of the political debate thanks to the GOP and the Christian bigots that make up its lunatic “base.” You’re a Republican, Mary, you worked on both of your father’s campaigns, and you kept your mouth clamped shut while Karl Rove and George Bush ran around the country attacking gay people, gay parents, and our children in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006. It’s a little late to declare the private choices of gays and lesbians unfit for public debate, Mary.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our local deadly division of Hate&Homophobia , the so-called Idaho Values Alliance ( Seig Heil! ) has decided to NOT push their anti-gay adoption bill this year . Now I know why : Cheeney's Lesbian-Born Grand-daughter would piss all over their perverted parade .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When these Christianist groups want a hate bill in " our " legislature , they will get it , No Problema ! That's because our "representatives" in the Statehouse are over 50% Mormon . If they just practiced their religion and left me alone I'd love 'em . But they don't so I don't . Since "they" insist on shoving "their" religion Up My Ass , I will be a proud exposer of their evilness !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sign this petition , that among other things says : "...Religion is a deeply personal matter. Americans must be free to practice their religion without coercion. Government exists to provide for the general well-being of all people, and its workings must be independent of specific religious doctrines. Simply put, there must be a separation of church and state...."

( Here's one of the most disturbing passages: )

What was the most fun things?

The most fun thing, umm....definitely the women.

Yeah? They had chick insurgents, man?

No, they didn't have chick insurgents.

***

Something goes down, they just grab everyone around, you know, fuck em. I mean, you gonna have 35 trials? No, you know. People are like, "Oh they're innocent." You know what, I don't give a fuck. As far as I'm concerned, they're all guilty. You know what? They should have kicked Saddam out themselves. Instead, we're there doing the fucking job. We're losing guys.....

***

Were those people in the World Trade Center guilty? No. Fuck them. They fucked us, so now we're fucking them. Fuck them, dude, anyone with a fucking rag on their head is fair game.

***

....girl, she was probably like 15 years old. Yeah, she was hot dude. The body on that girl, yeah, really tight. You know, hadn't been touched yet. She was fucking prime. So....

***

One of the guys started pimping her out for 50 bucks a shot. I think at the end of
the day, you know, he'd made like 500 bucks before she hung herself.

Really?

Yeah.

She hung herself? How's come she hung herself?

I don't know. She wasn't happy.

***

In their culture, it's really shunned upon if you get raped. I guess she would

have been stoned to death anyways by her people, you know. It's fucked up.

She was fucked anyway, I guess. In more ways than one.

***

You didn't get shit from the CO, did you?

Uh-uh, not until those fucking pictures came out. After then the biggest rule

was no fucking cameras.

Open Debate or Self-Censorship ?

W ,

I appreciate your writing to me 'bout this . Tho I wish you ( and another e-mailer ) would use this group for what it was created for : DEBATE ! Please post this kinda stuff on the group directly , you're not gonna shame me man , you may have noticed I have no shame , , , remember my up-side down US flag at the ProtestBushit thing in Nampa and the somewhat bi-partisan opposition to it ? I didn't self-censor then so why would I do so NOW ? Sorry dude , I just don't have a clue as how to sleep at night if I were to self-censor and tailor myself to appease other people's comfort . No can do .

I was hoping to push some buttons on this " Christianist" issue , so I guess it's : MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ! Thanks .

BTP NEEDS more debate ! Why would you want less ? We could use less " preaching to the choir " as it stands currently , but hey , that's only my opinion . In that vein , I've cross-posted this to my other groups and my blog ( your name altered for now ) , I don't like sideways-talk and attempts to keep it private . I do love open and direct debate . I'm sorry if some can't take it head on .

Our thing here is called the Boise Tea Party for a reason , does ANYBODY think the original Boston Tea Party Patriots were polite and comforting ? Ha ! They were in your face and very aggressive in expressing their opinion and as a result they Kick-Started the so-called democracy America used to be . Hell , THEY BROKE THE LAW to speak out , Damn the consequences . I wish WE had their balls-o-courage in our midst today ! Millions of we Americans will never believe that politeness and phony accord is the way to change a country for the better . I mean come ON . We are in this fucked up W-ar BECAUSE millions of Americans ( other than us ) believed the Bushit/Cheney Lies about Saddam and 911/WMD and were too polite or scared to just say NO !!!!!


I was raised to fear and give in to authority , the Man/Parent/Government was always righ... , I mean correct . I grew out of that . As true as it was in the past , the fear-mongering going on today is a great ReThuglican way to manipulate folk . My Dem father almost kicked me out of the house when ; after getting my Vietnam era Draft Card ( I was #64 to go ) in '73 or so , I talked about Canada as my alternative to Nixon's failing , bloody war . Ten years later , after some growing up himself , my father said he was sorry for his knee-jerk reaction to power and fear .

I was raised in the (Hungarian Reformed ) Church in eastern Ohio , I went to bible study in my teens & early 20's . I sang ( for years ) in a Gay/Straight/Black/White Church choir in Washington DC up to the week before I moved to Idaho . I believed in something true to ME . I still do . Then... in Boise , I saw how homophobic/political or wimpy/nice religion was . Idaho's so-called "Christian" Churches were either hateful RePigs , or weak-willed , smiling souls unwilling to rock the boat & I had had ENOUGH ! . Their spiritual fruits were Very unlike Jesus , Jesus was a Radical remember , not a nice guy to idiots and fools . I haven't been in a Church in years , other than secular meetings and music , there is sadly very little in a church with which to grow a soul in our Gem State .

Then I started to grow up further . And lose fear . Slowly . But surely .

I started the signs on my truck in '98 out of outrage over the Christian Extremist Clinton Sexual WitchHunt . Holy Helen Chenoweth and her married lover hypocrisy and all . You have NO idea how afraid I was at first , I had the fine , "Christian " folk of Boise pointing their finger at me like guns , pious screaming harpies threatening and flipping me off and all sorts-o-fun from these Un-American cretins . But not as many as confronted me as a man as they did my girlfriend . It was indicative of their hypocritical religionist outrage . When she drove the truck , they were twice as likely to spew and threaten to slew her as a (subservient? ) woman as they were to me . What Mel Pigson BraveHearts !


Unfortunately , our 21st century America is too fat , comfortable and adverse to conflict to speak out in a strong , factual way , hence the "truthiness" Bushit American nightmare we live in today .

I stopped posting news or (other people's ) commentary long ago because most of us here have already seen it . Why bother ? I also don't express my opinion , or fail to stand up for my beliefs in order to make friends or gain support like so many Dems do . Can you recall Gore/internet or Kerry/SwiftBoat without understanding ? I may have started this all before I ever heard of Keith Olbermann and his rants , but I consider him a brother-in-words ( if that's not too presumptive of me ) . I forcefully express what is on my mind , what is pissing me off Now . I can't stop and think : " Mmmm , what will keep comfortable people comfortable ? " . That is what's wrong with the Left and the media . RePigs call us all kinds of vile names and accuse us of giving " aid & comfort " to the enemy and the most we can say is : " No sir ! " . What pussyness ! We MUST ; if we don't want a horrible Theocracy as " The Handmaid's Tale " shows can happen , forcefully point out how they are "giving aid and comfort " thru their Bushit Spies , Lies and Total Christianist Ignorance . The fourth estate , our media is supposed to "...afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted ..." , in order to keep us free . HAH ! Since I don't own a newspaper or TV channel , I do what I can , where I can .

your troublesome friend , Nick


ps: we all know 'bout the Evil , Hateful MFers that lynched black Americans up into the '50's . WAY too many of America's "Christian" southerners proudly posed for pictures next to the brutally mutilated bodies of their victims . They then hung these vile pics next to their honored pic of Jesus . Where do you think these fetid fools went ? Did they disappear ? No , they went right into the RepubliKKKanHomophobia game is my conclusion . Can't hate Blacks ? Hate them Goddddimmm Fagggggots is their new claim to infamy . And they get away with it . I have NO problem with true Christians , just the Christianist Extremists in the tent . I believe in the teachings of Jesus , I just don't see much Christian "walk the Talk " from the " Christians " among us . Other than that , if you have further questions/comments about my beliefs and/or writings ? PLEASE , ask me , my bark is much worse than my bite . Just post it in the blog comments or on this group . If you don't want to read what I write ? Don't read it , or better yet , DEBATE IT ! Leaving the group seems so , , , un-democratic Thx .

Bushit Christianists are NOT CHRISTIAN !

A Disciple of Jesus Nails it on the head !

"... People who believe in the Gospels of Jesus Christ are Christians* . People who use the Gospels of Jesus Christ for political gain , and for a political program of right or left , are Christianists . And Christianism , like many "isms" , is an ideology that will corrupt faith and poison politics . It has already done both, under the auspices of this president and his acolytes . It is long past time that real Christians* took their faith back from these political charlatans. One first step is to deny them the name that they have so artfully coopted. It starts with language. It always does. "


Right Fucking ON !

I have a problem with the word ; "Christian" , tho . Jesus never spoke nor heard this word in his time on Earth . It is a word created by weak men who begat weaker men that waged Bloody , Murderous Christian War and Torture against Jesus ' s Children ; supposedly in His name , shitting on His teachings to " Love your enemies " , ...Forgive..." , etc . . Which has led to the Living Hell that is too many people's experience on planet earth . It is a word that has been bastardized by those Andrew terms Christianists , and hopefully when we learn to call a fascist a fascist , the word Christian will be something to be proud of . Imagine if early "Christians" had actually followed the law according to Jesus . Of course many would have died , been slaughtered , tortured just like Jesus said they would if they "...follow Me.." . Imagine the wonderful world we'd be living in now if ONLY "they" had the courage of their convictions . But Jesus knew about the "Evil in the Hearts of Men and Women " . He knew we'd Fuck It UP royally ! See the "fruits" of the Bushit Christianists if you doubt . . .


Those (early times ) Christianist PigFuckers decided to wage the so called Holy Crusades which America is STILL fighting today because of the fetid actions of the Commander-isa-Bushiter !

remember...

YOU are NOT a "Christian"* if you believe that:


Jesus was Pro-Tax Cut ,

Jesus was Homophobic , ,

Jesus was Pro-War , , , and

that Jesus is only Pro-American !
