[Start Thinking Right] Why Islamic Extremists Support Democrats and Obama: There is a direct relationship between American liberals and Islamic fascism.

How can the one have any relationship with the other?” Read on.
[MyDD] Even John McCain Wouldn't Vote for John McCain: Throughout 2005, McCain worked to develop a comprehensive immigration reform bill with other members of Congress (including Senators Kennedy and Obama), and as recently as 2006, on the Senate floor, he made a statement calling for immigration reform, expressing the need for a policy which treats immigrants as human beings, and elucidating some of the the economic contributions of immigrants.
[Life of Bryan] To go to war (in response to one of the funniest e-mails ever): Yes, we were being slaughtered in Vietnam by guerrilla warfare (much like in Iraq), it was a hell-hole and many brave men died for nothing. I don't agree with President Johnson in staying there, although I didn't live at that time and maybe fighting the Vietcongs was the right thing, but as far as I've learned we were in a losing battle and he refused to give up.

[Ted's Soapbox 2.0] Sarah: Colonialism, slavery of human and non-human animals, genocide of indigenous people to make way for expansion, ecocide to “clear the land” and extract OUR resources, and now unbridled capitalism and consumerism have been the hallmarks of Western “civilization.” We in the United States are now the nexus of this culture of death that for centuries has blasphemously extended its malignant influence under the banner of Christianity, a repugnant hypocrisy that grossly perverts the teachings of one of the greatest spiritual leaders in history.
[Argos Media] Will Fukuyama Embrace Pacifism?: As you may recall, “promoting freedom and democracy” was the fallback story the Bush administration reverted to once it became clear that Iraq had no active WMDs programs and that it had had no part in the 9/11 attacks.
[the bloom blog] A Great Entry to America Story!: I told them I travel because I like to learn first hand about the world and it’s cultures, especially those we only hear about in the news, and that everywhere I went I found that folks still admire, even love America - it’s hopes and dreams, it’s vibrancy and opportunities - and that I also met LOTS of people who hated George Bush and loathed the American government, especially the war in Iraq, but that they still loved America, and still wanted to go there. I told them that even in the Middle East, almost everyone I spoke to hated what America was doing, but still clung to the belief that as a nation we would rise above these terrible deeds and return to the principals we had been so known and loved for.

[Member Posts] A New Conservative Blog: Policy after policy from the war in Iraq (where the blood of thousands paid to give Big Oil a shot a owning middle east oil, which will never happen) to “Drill Baby Drill” (where again Big Oil wins) McCain stands on the shoulders of the middle class to bolster the upper class (his class).
[eehard's Weblog] Make-Believe Maverick!: Later that month on Larry King, McCain raised the specter of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction before he peddled what became Dick Cheney’s favorite lie: “The Czech government has revealed meetings, contacts between Iraqi intelligence and Mohamed Atta.

[brothersjudd Blog] ROME WASN'T DECENTRALIZED IN A DAY:: In 2005, Iran intervened in Iraq's constitutional deliberations to undo a Shiite-Kurdish agreement on Kurdistan's powers, only to relent after Kurdistan President Massoud Barzani made clear that there would be no constitution without the deal; many Iraqis have told me that one reason that the US and Iraq have been unable to agree on a new security arrangement is that Iran opposes anything of the kind.
