 [Bill Totten's Weblog] The Case for Impeachment: Last December when Representative Conyers introduced House Resolution 635 - together with two ancillary resolutions censuring President Bush and Vice President Cheney, each of them for "failing to respond to requests for information" about the origins of the Iraq war - the word "impeach" was still regarded as excessive hyperbole, the unmentionable "I-word", not to be seen or heard in the circles of proper Washington opinion. A month later and the word was in general circulation, if not with reference to the misbegotten killing in Iraq at least in the context of the President's directing the NSA to monitor, if necessary without first obtaining a court order, any and all telephone and email traffic, in, out, or around the United States, that might turn up a reference (ideological, operational, metaphorical, coincidental, or conversational) to an act (factual or fictional, past, present, or future) of terrorism.

[LonePatriot.com] Neo-Conned, 3 Years Later!: I don't want to make it habit of quoting various things I see, but last week, congressman Ron Paul of Texas had this to say about the new UN reform bill and our current leaders move towards 'One World Government.' Congressman Paul submitted another bill encouraging withdraw from the UN to be voted on in addition to the "UN Reform Bill," only 65 congressman voted in favor Ron Paul's bill, with the other 370 congressman endorsing expanded UN control. There are a few words to descibe these 370 spineless elected leaders, turn-coats, treason and traitors come to mind.

 [The Lumber Of The World] Soldiers of Christ: Inside America's Most... : By Jeff Sharlet Harper's Magazine They are drawn as if by magnetic forces; they speak of Colorado Springs, home to the greatest concentration of fundamentalist Christian activist groups in American history, both as a last stand and as a kind of utopia in the making.

[Evaneco.com] The Evangelical Ecologist - A Conservative Christian Environmental ...: We don't by nature seek to divide.As I've said before, and also here, the amount of vitriol being slung about over differences of opinion in areas like climate change and conservation is horrendous. The fact that Christians are taking up these same tools and arguements is even worse.

 [Bouphonia.blogspot.com] Bouphonia: On the secular side, the problem may be that apocalyptic thinking often exalts the self while pretending to cast it away in favor of "objectivity." Or maybe it's because striking a pose of aestheticized equanimity towards one's own death is so much easier if, as Tom Lehrer sang, "We will all go together when we go." That way, at least, the emotional discomfort of being survived doesn't arise. When it comes to extinction, apparently, there's strength in numbers.

 [Pacificviews.org] Pacific Views: Just as people in Baghdad knew that there were abuses at Abu Ghraib, it was only when the photos documenting the abuses became public that it became impossible for the media and the US Government to deny the problem. Even more, videos and pictures can create an imperative that something must be done to prevent future violations.

[Thehealthcareblog.com] The Health Care Blog: March 2006: Prices have indeed fallen over time.But consumer protection problems have tarnished this market, with boththe Federal Trade Commission and some state attorneys generalintervening to curb deceptive advertising and poorly communicatedbundling practices. Many of us have seen LASIK advertisements forprices of $299 per eye, but in fact only a tiny proportion of consumersseeking the LASIK procedure meet the clinical qualifications for thoseprices.

 [Chander.com] Anupam Chander: CIS Blog Posts: You've said that Liberals are engaged in an all-out assault on Christianity, that Democrats will appoint judges who don't share our Christian values and will dismantle Christian culture, and that the out-of-control judiciary, and this was in your last book Courting Disaster is the most serious threat America has faced in nearly 400 years of history (this should have a period behind it because this is where Pat’s words in Courting Disaster end and Stephanopolus begins) more serious than al Qaeda, more serious than Nazi Germany and Japan, more serious than the Civil War?
