I like Bull Moose’s idea…regime change the right way:
Now is the time to move for tough sanctions on Iran. Unfortunately, there is little hope that China or Russia will support cracking down on the mullahs. But, there are other non military tools to get tough with Teheran.
Why don’t Democrats publicly and aggressively call for non-military [...]

…Salt Lake City’s mayor talks smack about Bush and gets cheered?
In Utah?
Wow.

…Richard Armitage.
Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the source who revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in 2003, touching off a federal investigation, two sources familiar with Armitage’s role tell CNN.
The sources said Armitage revealed Plame’s role at the CIA almost inadvertently in a casual conversation [...]

I need someone to explain something to me. It’s a moral question, so naturally I need help.
Sixty five years ago we fought a war with Japan following their attack on Pearl Harbor. Within a matter of a few months we were burning down Japanese cities. The Japanese of that era favored wood construction and we [...]

There are more signs that the wheels may be about to fall off the economy and the Federal Reserve seems a bit nervous about how to best insure that doesn’t happen. The prevailing question at the moment centers on whether to continue the long string of rate hikes in order to keep inflation in check [...]

Or, how to get more jihadists to hate you.
Please see this link.
If you aren’t anti-war by this point, you need to at least become anti-Bush-running-the-war.

You know, it’s bad enough that my birthday falls the day after Sept. 11; talk about a buzzkiller.
Now there’s this:
Yisrayl Hawkins, well known Bible scholar and author, reports that the Bible predicts the exact date and the location that nuclear war will begin. Hawkins states that the current crisis in the Middle East will go [...]

Okay, a post about Katherine Harris? Why something so easy Justin?
Well, because ladies and gentlemen, I will remind you that this is the woman who certified the 2000 Florida general election results. Just let that sit in your mind as you read the following.
From The Orlando Sentinel first comes this:
ORLANDO, Fla. _Rep. Katherine Harris said [...]

Joe Gandelman of The Moderate Voice has the lowdown:
Not a day goes by when there isn’t a new batch of news and blog stories detailing how Lieberman is being embraced by or seemingly embracing the Republican party.
His big problem: so many GOP party elites are in effect endorsing him by not embracing the GOP’s official [...]

It seems like some Democrats still embrace Barry Goldwater’s style of conservatism, and I can’t say I disagree.
From Editor & Publisher:
NEW YORK An interview in this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine with C.C. Goldwater reveals that her HBO film to be aired Sept. 18 paints her late grandfather, Sen. Barry Goldwater, “as a kind of [...]

My new friend from Pakistan shows that we should resist categorizing Muslims into one group.

In the wake of the British plane plot I suggested that European domestic terror plots hatched up by Muslims will not go away if Europeans make their foreign policy less “American.”
Now I have proof that I was correct and that other measures/solutions are necessary.

The political gallop to the November finish line is heating up and the race is certain to tighten. Get ready folks, we’ve just rounded the final turn and we’re now headed into the homestretch and that horse making a big push on the Democrats’ right flank is none other than the GOP’s Secretariat, Karl Rove. [...]

It’s no longer a “planet.”
Find out why.

From The Moderate Voice:
Israeli army reservists, and quite some relatives of Israeli soldiers who died during the conflict with Hizbullah, are calling for a thorough investigation (instead of the one Peretz ordered) into how the war was handled and they are calling on Israel’s PM, defense minister and the army’s chief of staff, to resign.
They [...]

You can read my take on Walmart, class and the Democrats over at NeoMugwump.

Our self image as ‘The West’, acting as one, is a caricature of the absurd.

No, not Olympia Snowe. Olympia, Washington.
Now you may be asking yourself, “Why did Justin post this?” To that I would like to point you back towards the title of this post, which is also the exact same title of the story from ABC News.
And I’m sorry, but I can’t help but laugh out loud when [...]

I have put up an explanation for why one can be ‘left’ and a signatory of the Euston Manifesto (and does not become a closet right-winger).
It also elucidates my views of the War in Iraq.

In 2000, the American-Muslim community bloc-endorsed Republicans b/c Bush promised a repeal of the Secret Evidence Act. At that time I thought this sponsorship was a mistake. Especially since black-Muslims (as opposed to immigrant Muslims), stuck with the Democrats. [Some of the largely Arab Immigrant Muslim leadership felt that Liberman was going to be more [...]
