Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

No More Excuses on Jobs
As job growth continues to elude the U.S. economy, we're hearing two main excuses from the Bush administration and its supporters: that the real situation is much better than you're hearing, and that to the extent employment is lagging, it's the result of factors outside the administration's control. But after three years of extravagant promises and dismal results, the time for excuses has passed.

Ghost of America's Past
two excerpts from this one
When will all Americans -- Republicans, Democrats, Greens, independents and "swing voters" -- connect the dots on the Bush Regime? What has happened that people can not see the large blood-red handwriting on the wall? Has Osama and his box-cutter gang really done such profound damage to our nation's heart and soul? Are we such simpletons that, if Bush "magically" produces Osama's head on a platter before November, we will "reward" him with another four years?
and
As a friend put it, "I keep thinking ... why is beating Bush made to seem like a long shot? He got the presidency by lying, talking from the center while acting from the far right. Now a full term has passed and the country's in an economic and foreign policy shambles ... little is going right and he's been revealed to be an incompetent, disingenuous nincompoop who acts only in the interest of the moneyed elite and the Christian coalition. His true colors have been revealed and his record is checkered, which you'd think would be enough to have him losing in a landslide."

It's The Economic Team, Stupid
Twelve years ago, the blackboard in Bill Clinton's campaign headquarters had the famous slogan: "It's the economy, stupid." For the past few weeks, John Kerry's campaign headquarters and the Democratic National Committee's office should have had signs saying, "It's Bush's stupid economic team."

This is shocking
