Woo-Hoo! Hispanics are cool! They're kicking apart that BS steriotype that enviromentalists are middle-class whites.
Toxic Lynchings
If you went around poisoning people just because there's Black or Hispanic, wouldn't that be a hate crime? Apperently if you also happened to own a factory, it wouldn't be a crime at all. Read all about enviromental racism here.

``I can think of no faster way to unite the American people behind George W. Bush than a terrorist attack on an American target overseas. And I believe George W. Bush will quickly unite the American people through his foreign policy.''
-Henry Kissinger, appearing on CNBC, 2000-Dec-13
``There are only 90,000 people out there, who gives a damn?'' -Henry Kissinger, on nuking the Marshall Islands
``The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer.'' -Henry Kissinger

Sixty million poor people without bank accounts or access to competitive-rate loans must instead use pawn shops, check-cashing outlets, rent-to-own stores, finance companies and high-interest mortgage lenders. These businesses generate yearly revenues of $200 to $300 billion and are increasingly owned or subsidized by Wall Street giants such as American Express, Bank America, Citibank, Ford, NationsBank, and Western Union.
While affluent credit card holders can pay as little as six to eight percent annual interest, low-income people are paying as much as 240% for a loan from a pawnbroker, 300% for a finance company loan, and even an amazing 2,000% for a fast payday loan from a check-cashing outlet.

There's a new site called by a guy named Scrodd.
While debating the minimum wage with a skinhead:
Now listen up, I just bought a pair of HUGE made-in-Canada steeltoed workboots that can withstand freezing water halfway to my knees, and they cost less than some crappy plastic-that-rusts Nike shoe made by someone who was paid pennies an hour.
Why? For one thing, when a business doesn't have to pay wages, they'll just find something useless to blow the money on. It might be advertising, though most of the time it's manions and yaught clubs for the guys who think "networking" and golfing and sipping martinis is what puts shoes together.
You have an easy choice - if you don't like America's wages, you can freely move to Siapan and discover what a "flexiable labor market" looks like.
And don't forget, in the 50 and 60's unions were everywhere, and wages went up - most families only had one worker, so you can forget your working mother-causes-prosperity argument. Taxes were higher too - listen to the Beatles' "Taxman", they're actually not exagerating in the lyrics. Why do you think 1.50 an hour will end the world when 95% taxes didn't?

America - Love it or Leave it
Republicans think that everything belongs to them. While sometimes their looting sprees are hard to stop, there is one thing we can keep them from stealing - the flag. It's about time liberals learned to say : America: Love it or Leave it.
Here are a few lines to practice:
Hate those damn Feminazis that are running America? The burka is still more or less fasionable in Afgaistan, though if you want to be certain the bra-burners are under control, Saudi Arabia is the place to be. You'll also be happy to see your tax dollars at work there, with military bases built by Bin Laden's family.
Hate that America's evil, evil gun control? Catch a flight to Somolia. You'll feel very safe knowing that
you'll live in a polite society where even the kids have AK-47s and you can pick up a rocket launcher at your local market. Safe to walk the streets at night? Well, safe to be dragged, anyway.
Don't you just hate how in America the government isn't run like a business? Wouldn't it be better if the government and business where the same thing, run by the same people? Well, the USSR used to be just that, before a coalition of labor unionists, enviromentalists, hippies and anarchist punks vandalized the Berlin wall.
Do you think America needs "labour market reform and deregulation", and "reform of the social security system"? I quoting the IMF orders to Argentina from March 2000.
Don't you just hate how America doesn't execute enough people? Especially traitors? Maybe you and Ann Coulter would feel at home in Palestine, where more people have been excecuted for treason than have been killed by Israelis.
Hate how America has taken God out of the schools? Pretty well any Middle Eastern country is ready to welcome you. If you think the ten commandments would make a cool poster, take a look at this inspiring faith-based highjacked-plane-crashing school poster. Pre-9/11 and never spotted by the CIA, of course.
(Caption reads: "I am supported by God, to
die for God").
And America, the great satan, spoils its children! They need dicipline! They should have their hands cut off for shoplifting, like they do in Iran. No talk about "teaching violence is acceptable" over there. I mean, who ever head of any of them doing anything violent? If you like how Newt Gingrich made sure his very first act was to cancel school breakfasts, you'll want to send you kids to India, where they'll learn the value of hard work by being chained to their looms.
And doesn't America the evil have evil death taxes? In the Dominican Republic 0.07% of landowners own 45% of the land. That's what republicans mean when they say "small farmers" - small amounts of people who own all of the farms.
Don't you just hate how few Americans understand that greed is not only a virtue, but their patriotic duty? Take advice from this Zairian teacher: "When we ask young pupils what they want to be later on, they invariable answer that they want to become big businessmen...so they can give everyone orders, make a lot of money and do very little work...If asked "why do you cheat and swindle others", many reply straightforwardly, "because we are Zairians"".
But then, that teacher was probably just bitter because "They only earn 300 - 350 a month, yet a sack of flour costs 740. A family can live for two weeks on one sack if they only eat once a day" according to a Nun.
In Zaire even the roads were in essence privatized: "local residents and entrepreneurs, religious groups and some large companies have attempted to maintain some roads but with limited success nationwide" according to the Library of Congress. Indipendent unions, of course, are outlawed.
And damn those expensive government workers in great-Satan-America! You'll get more for your money in Cochabamba, Bolivia: they even privatized the water system, and the prices only rose by 200%.
And now, where are liberals to go?
For some reason, we are never told to go to Europe. You know, Europe, the place that proves
liberalism beats conservatism on all counts - oh, I forgot, the women don't shave their legs there. That changes EVERYTHING.

"Have you noticed how the risk of Al Qaeda attacks seems to increase exponentially whenever there is a risk of truth coming out about the Court-appointed Bush Administration?
Apparently nothing agitates Al Qaeda like domestic criticism of Bush."
-From the truest and funniest website in the world.
Here's Benidict Rumsfeld gloating about the attacks, not only exploiting them for political/corproate welfare gain, but also trying to make people think he's a prophet. Now, whether he's telling the truth, and admitting that he allowed the attacks to occur, or lying just to exploit thousands of American deaths to build a cult for himself, I'm really not sure.
On December 5, 2001 CNN's Larry King Live Aired the Following Story in an Interview With U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
©CNN
Editor's Note: The conversation below is the transcript of the final few minutes of Larry King's December 5, 2001 interview with U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. King is attempting to ask Rumsfeld where he was on the morning of September 11, 2001. [Note: He didn't answer, of course. The liberal media didn't ask twice, of course.] The segment was recorded in the Pentagon room where Rumsfeld was first told of the attack, only minutes after warning Congress that a "shocking" event was imminent.
KING: You were right here when the Pentagon...
RUMSFELD: I was.
KING: And someone told me that you had spoken to a congressional delegation...
RUMSFELD: Right here in this room.
KING: ... in this room about terrorism that morning.
RUMSFELD: I had said at -- I had an 8 o'clock breakfast -- that sometime in the next two, four, six, eight, 10, 12 months, there would be an event that would occur in the world that would be sufficiently shocking that it would remind people, again, how important it is to have a strong, healthy Defense Department..."
Did you find thousands of dead Americans sufficient enough for your tastes, Herr Rumsfeld? (I wonder if all of this crying wolf whenever critism of Bush occurs is based on messages from God via The Prophet Rumsfeld?)

Here are a few links about September 11th, aka 9/11. An even bigger collection (though it's got a lot of right-wing wacko stuff in it) it is here. Another really awsome site asks questions about George W Bush and 9/11.
Never again! Take Action!
