Conservative press starting to figure out...

that the emperor has no clothes. From the Weekly Standard.

editorial

From the Scotsman, another great editorial

In the 3 and a half years between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima, the US built 280,000 airplanes, 80,000 tanks, hundreds of ships, and mobilized an army of 4 million. Then there was the Manhattan project. In the 4 years since 9/11: Osama bin Laden is still at large, amd our soldiers are scavaging armor to protect their vehicles. Makes you think.

After the Storm

If Galileo lived in the US, he'd be censored.

The earth moves around the sun...blasphemy! And our tax dollars were used to fund a space probe to crash into a comet, giving a glimpse of the universe in.....4004 BC? Don't count on that continuing.

No wonder enrollment in the sciences is down in the US. All the cutting edge science is moving overseas. What happens when the Koreans can grow replacement organs from stem cells? Will US citizens be prevented from recieving them?

Would Nixon have had the guts to do this?

The supposedly "non-partisan" 9/11 committee decides to leave classifed the most incriminating evidence that the Bush administration ignored multiple threats about what Al Queda was planning until AFTER the election. Is this what Iraq can look forward to when they have, ahem, democracy?

Declassified reports.

History will look back at the Bush 43 as possibly the worst president of the past 100 years, presiding over the beginning of America's slide towards a second-rate power. Combining the corruption and contempt for the people of Nixon with the misguided idealism of Wilson, Bush will leave office knowing that America has no industrial base, no secure energy sources, massive debt and trade deficeits, its resources depleted by a war of attrition in Iraq.

How much you want to bet I get an IRS audit every year from now on? Read up on the sedition acts passed by the Wilson administration, where critisizing the government in any way got you 20 years.
