Bush Should Be Tried … But Not By Democrats
Recently it has been all over the news that B. Hussein Obama is toying with allowing his Attorney General to prosecute for crimes committed by Bush administration officials in relation to torture techniques pursued during the Bush administration.
Now, I have little doubt that the Bush administration is guilty of all kinds of crimes during their time in office, though I’m more concerned about the crimes committed in the run up to the war. I think that if there was such a thing as justice in Washington D.C. many of the Bush administration officials would end up behind bars.
However, the idea that Democrats are qualified to bring justice to the crimes of Republicans is like believing the Stalin communists were qualified to bring justice to the Nazi fascists. Bush administration officials may be guilty but their potential jurors are equally guilty. It would be a mockery of justice to see Democrats putting Republicans on trial.
Now, if we could have a trial were Democrats and Republicans alike would be put on trial I would be all for it. But we all know that is not going to happen.
However, in the end there will be no trials for the simple reason that Washington is a den of thieves and they honor the code of thieves. That code teaches that the group of thieves called the Democratic party does not go after the group of thieves called the Republican party in any significant large scale way, if only because everybody has the goods on everybody else. Significant large scale justice will never happen because everybody knows where all the bodies are buried and how to expose their accusers.
So what we get instead is a great deal of public self righteous pontificating about how despicable the guy in the other party is.
Georgetown Covers Jesus’ Name For Obama Speech At Obama’s Request
“Amidst all of the American flags and presidential seals, there was something missing when President Barack Obama gave an economic speech at Georgetown University this week — Jesus.
The best photos of President Obama and his family captured during the first few months in office.
The White House asked Georgetown to cover a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name in Gaston Hall, which Obama used for his speech, according to CNSNews.com.
The gold “IHS” monogram inscribed on a pediment in the hall was covered over by a piece of black-painted plywood, and remained covered over the next day, CNSNews.com reported.”
“If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

AIG — Think About This For A Second Folks
The US Federal Government owns 80% of AIG. As such AIG is a company that is majority owned by the US Government. As such all of the employees of AIG are government employees, including The CEO. If I work for a company that is majority owned by the US Government I am a government employee. Further the money that AIG, a company that is majority owned by the US government, is giving out in retention bonuses (to the tune of appx. 150 million dollars) is money that was given to this US government majority owned company by the US government. Finally, the loopholes in legislation that allows for these bonuses to be paid was a loophole placed in the legislation by Senator Chris Dodd — another US government employee.
So, what we have here is AIG, which is a subsidiary of the US government, and their employees receiving millions of dollars of bonuses.
So, given this reality, how could citizens ever be mad at the private sector in what is being played out? This is a US Government heist of the US taxpayers.
Hey folks, if you’re going to be angry and enraged point all that rage towards the US Government.
Cuban Missle Crisis Redux?
“Russia could use bases for its strategic bombers on the doorstep of the United States in Cuba and Venezuela to underpin long-distance patrols in the region, a senior air force officer said Saturday.
“This is possible in Cuba,” General Anatoly Zhikharev, chief of the Russian air force’s strategic aviation staff, told the Interfax-AVN military news agency.
Last July a top US air force officer warned that Russia would cross “a red line” if it were to base nuclear capable bombers in Cuba.
“If they did, I think we should stand strong and indicate that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line for the United States of America,” said General Norton Schwartz said on July 23.
Obama wants to move towards normalizing relations with Cuba while Cuba wants to move toward hosting Russian nuclear capable bombers.
