Absent any loathing I have for his actual policies, I seriously have to question the mental processes of any man who murders grammar to the point that he says “childrens do learn”.

That said man is the President of the United States would make it all the more laughable if it didn’t have such tragic implications for the rest of us.

Here’s the story from Reuters…

“Childrens do learn,” Bush tells school kids
Wed Sep 26, 2007 1:46pm EDT

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: “Childrens do learn.”

Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centerpiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on

Here is a rendering based on various busts and statues of the mad Roman emperor Nero…

And here is George W. Bush during his speech yesterday…

“In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior.“

— Daniel chapter 8, verses 23-25

One of my best friends is fond of saying that “the eyes are the window of the soul”. Folks, I see that picture of Bush, and there’s only a pitch-black abyss staring back. No wonder he doesn’t care how many people die in this war of his....

A little knowledge is said to be a dangerous thing. George W. Bush’s grasp of history is downright lethal.

Here’s one of the stories about Bush comparing Iraq to Vietnam, in which he made sure to use emotionally-charged words like “re-education camps” and “killing fields”.

The biggest irony of that: if Bush is talking about the “killing fields” of Cambodia, then maybe it will interest him that the genocide might never have happened, had the people of that country not given the Khmer Rouge so much support following American attacks on Cambodia during the Vietnam War. The Khmer Rouge’s rise to power was a direct result of American interventionism in Southeast Asia. Just as we are intervening in the Middle East today with Iraq.

But here’s what also bothers me: in this same speech, Bush said that America will stay in Iraq as long as he is President.

Americans may soon be required to have a passport to board a domestic flight. Or… get this… to picnic in a national park.

Yup, you may soon have to possess a passport the next time you want to fly off for a visit to Aunt Tilly in Akron, or take the family to vacation in Yellowstone.

How in the world is this different from “Your papers, please…” in the Soviet Union?

How, indeed?

Will people keep ignoring what is happening, now so obviously right before our eyes? Will the people of this country ever take off the rose-colored glasses and stop denying what is going on?

I’ve said it before, will say it again: America has suffered more grievous damage during George W. Bush’s time as President than she ever has throughout her entire long history. And I don’t know if we’ll ever recover from it all adequately enough....

Stu Bykofsky, a writer with the Philadephia Daily News, is seriously suggesting that the best way to “save” America is to have another attack like 9/11.

Two months ago, a Republican party official also said that America needs to be attacked again so that people would appreciate President Bush.

If “saving” America means not only anticipating, but openly hoping for the deaths of innocent people, then America does not deserve to survive at all.

I mean that.

Here is the biggest problem that I have with these self-styled “neoconservatives”: they believe that America’s strength is supposed to be in material wealth and military might. They don’t give a damn about the value of individual life. How else can they sincerely consider it to be “good news” when it’s reported that the death toll of American military is the lowest in several months… and not bother to ask themselves if even ...

Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look

Aug 10 06:25 PM US/Eastern
By RICHARD LARDNER

WASHINGTON (AP) – Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush’s new war adviser said Friday.

“I think it makes sense to certainly consider it,” Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.”

“And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation’s security by one means or another,” Lute added in his first interview since he was confirmed by the Senate in June …

I will gladly support a draft. Provided that Jenna and Barbara and George P. Bush are the first to get inducted ...

Why do so many Christians, in spite of everything that their faith teaches, keep participating in such a corrupt political system? More to the point: How is it that too many professing believers in Christ still insist on supporting people like George W. Bush, who is anything but a shining example of Christian virtue?

That’s what Dr. Chuck Baldwin is asking in his latest essay…

I believe one of the reasons, if not the main reason, that Christians are so gullible lies in a mistaken, and even dangerous, intrinsic trust of government. I hear and see this attitude expressed among my brethren constantly.

Part of this problem stems from an illogical and unscriptural interpretation of Romans Chapter Thirteen. Christians have been drilled (and dare I say, brainwashed?) into believing that government is endemically good and should be thoroughly trusted. Of course, this was not the belief of America’s Founding

Here, read his latest essay, “The Fear Factor”.

When was the last time we had the opportunity to elect a man with an intellect on par with that of the Founding Fathers?

You’ll never see this kind of thought and eloquence from Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, Fred Thompson, or any other empty suit that the party bigwigs and the mainstream press would rather you vote for. You certainly can’t say that you’ve ever seen this level of articulation from George W. Bush.

Just one more reason why in 2008 I’m voting for Ron Paul, or I’m voting for nobody....

I wonder if I’ll get a “cease and desist” from the U.S. government for posting this amazingly detailed cutaway diagram of the Saturn V rocket. Slashdot is reporting that NASA is censoring information about the Saturn V launch vehicle.

How much information? Well, there are reports that NASA is ordering the confiscation and destruction of Saturn V posters that were purchased at gift shops at Kennedy Space Center and other NASA facilities. And now UpShip.com, a website that’s loaded with technical specs and blueprints of various air and spacecraft, has been sent a warning from officials at NASA’s Export Control Office that files pertaining to the Saturn V the site has on this page are in violation of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). That’s the list of things that the federal government doesn’t allow to be disseminated because it classifies them as “weapons”.

So of course, ...
