Alpert’s Truth: Automatic Thinking by Arthur Alpert
First, the idea of a war on terrorism is stupid. Terrorism is a tactic, not a gang or a state, which will survive long after we are all dead.
Secondly, there are ways to combat alQaeda’s terrorism without appeasement and without conducting war the way George W. Bush is, in a manner that probably is fostering terrorism rather than diminishing it.
ABQjournal: Bush Coming to Duke City
President George Bush will be making a stop in New Mexico next week for a discussion on home ownership, the White House has announced.
Bush is scheduled to be in Albuquerque on Friday.
Bush plans to stop in New Hampshire on Thursday for a “conversation” on home ownership. The event will feature hand-picked residents who discuss their support for Bush and his policies.
The same format is to be used again for Friday’s New Mexico stop. The location and details of the event have not been released.
New Mexico is expected to be one of several battleground states in this year’s presidential election. In the 2000 election, Bush lost New Mexico by 366 votes to then-opponent Democrat Al Gore.

One of the earliest and biggest lies Bush made during the 2000 campaign was to claim, ”I’m a Uniter, not a Divider.” From the moment he took office, he acted unilaterally and presumptuously. In the aftermath of 9/11, when we all needed a Uniter, he made his infamous ”you’re with us or you’re against us” speech. mjh
LIE: ”We know where [Iraq’s WMD] are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat.” – Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, March 30, 2003, in statements to the press.
TRUTH: Needless to say, no such weapons were found, not to the east, west, south or north, somewhat or otherwise.
Pants On Fire is a campaign to make Americans aware that George Bush has lied to us about many of the most important issues facing our country. Our aim is to make sure that Americans never forget about those lies so that we DON’T GET BURNED AGAIN.
Salon.com | ‘Who cares what you think?’ By Bill Hangley Jr., Salon.com
It has been almost three years since I spoke with the president of the United States, and I still get mail about it.
It was July 4, 2001, and we were both at one of those things that the late historian Daniel Boorstin would have labeled a ”pseudo-event:” A church picnic in Philadelphia, designed to help George W. Bush promote his faith-based policies. I was working at the time for a local nonprofit that had helped set it up, but I had some serious misgivings about the president’s performance up to that point, and being a part of the whole operation had left me feeling a bit like a pseudo-person. So when I had the chance to shake Bush’s hand, I said, ”Mr. President, I’m very disappointed in your work so far. I hope you only serve four years.”
His smiling response was swift: ”Who cares what you think?”
Democrats for Bush/Cheney 2004
I am a lifelong Democrat, and yes, I do work for a Democrat in the Arizona Legislature.
I started this site after talking with a former college friend and classmate, Josh from BushBlog2004, about how I’ve just been dismayed at how my party swayed from the ideals I hold so dear. He set up the site at my request, and when I see a story in the news or on the internet that proves my point again, I bring it here to share with a small corner of the world. I’m an avowed Democrat, I voted for Clinton twice as well as Gore. If some of my fellow Democrats could get passed their absolute hatred, they would be surprised to see how central Bush’s agenda really is. Do I agree with the President on every issue? No – I’m pro-choice, and I’m not happy at many of the environmental restrictions that have been rolled back, and the fiscal mismanagement is reason to be angry. But are we better off with him at the helm, are we a safer nation because of his actions in Iraq and the war on Terror. You bet your ass we are. The next time you want to shout AWOL – remember that merely 12 years ago we were screaming at Republicans for attacking our candidate for avoiding the draft. The next time you want to scream about the War in Iraq being an act of unilateralism, remember how we backed our Democratic President for going to NATO, not the UN, to oust Milosevic in the Bosnia.
It’s a reminder of just how far the Radical Right has pushed its agenda that a Democrat can refer to Bush as a Centrist. mjh
