 - ImpeachBush / VoteToImpeach: July 10 Article of Impeachment for Bush
 Jul 17, 7:45am  (1 review) iraq, impeachment http://www.impeachbush.org/site/News2?pa...- A new president in 2008 will not fix our country's constitutional crises. If the criminals in office are not held accountable for the 'high crimes and misdemeanors' that they committed, our country will no longer be what are founding fathers designed it to be and a shadow government collusion with big business will be the new fascism.
1. Iraq was not ``continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability ..... ''
``A substantial amount of Iraq's chemical warfare agents, precursors, munitions and production equipment were destroyed between 1991 and 1998 as a result of Operation Desert Storm and United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) actions. There is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons or whether Iraq has or will establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities.''
The source of this information is the Defense Intelligence Agency, a report called, ``Iraq--Key WMD Facilities--An Operational Support Study,'' September 2002."

And when investigations are launched, sometimes investigators drop their probes simply because an employer hangs up on them or asserts, without proof, they can't afford to pay the workers what they are owed."

- Weak altruism is benifisial but Strong Altruism has negative results. Laissez Faire Capitalism says all altruism is bad. Laissez Faire means let happen.
"It appears, then, that caring about others is as much a part of human nature as caring about ourselves. Which impulse gets emphasized is a matter of training, according to the experts. "We fundamentally have the potential to develop into caring, altruistic people or violent, aggressive people," says Staub. "No one will be altruistic if their experiences teach them to be concerned only about themselves. But human connection is intrinsically satisfying if we allow it to be.""

- Call kucinich. Impeach Bush now!
"The dangers of empowering the President to order the U.S. military to arrest U.S. citizens inside the U.S. and indefinitely imprison them as "enemy combatants" -- and thereby deny them core Constitutional protections -- is manifest. It's literally hard to imagine a more un-American power than that. Even Justice Scalia, dissenting in Hamdi, warned that allowing the President to hold U.S. citizens as "enemy combatants" is to vest the President with the ultimate power of tyranny, exactly what the Founders most wanted to prevent:
The very core of liberty secured by our Anglo-Saxon system of separated powers has been freedom from indefinite imprisonment at the will of the Executive.
George Bush will likely leave office with this particular tyrannical power infrequently exercised but nonetheless vigorously asserted, defended, and close to established. This is yet another step in the creeping extremism of the last seven years -- like torture and warrantless eavesdropping, this power (allowing the President to imprison U.S. citizens in military brigs with no charges) is one that was until quite recently inconceivable, but is now a defining part of how our Government operates."

- "Court: US Can Jail Civilians Indefinitely
A federal appeals court has ruled President Bush can order the indefinite jailing of civilians imprisoned in the United States. The five-to-four decision effectively reverses last year's ruling that the administration cannot label US residents "enemy combatants" and jail them indefinitely without charge. The ruling came in the case of the only person still held as an enemy combatant on US soil. Ali al-Marri was arrested six years ago at his home in Peoria, Illinois, where he lived with his wife and five children. He was initially charged with credit card fraud and lying to federal agents. But in June 2003, President Bush declared him an enemy combatant and ordered him into military custody. He has spent the last four years in solitary confinement at a Navy brig in Charleston, South Carolina. Al-Marri's attorney Jonathan Hafetz said, "This decision means the president can pick up any person in the country--citizen or legal resident--and lock them up for years without the most basic safeguard in the Constitution, the right to a criminal trial.""

- Cocaine abuse or dry drunk? I don't think so.
I saw this video 4-5 years ago and have had a lot of time to figure out why he acts like a clown in a monkey suit. It's simple, if Americans believe their president is legally retarded he can not be held accountable for crimes that take planing. 'He just did not know better.' or how incompetent. People have been to busy making fun of the clown to notice the con.

- OK, Lets make this clear, I am not a Communist or an Anarchist though, I seem to place much further southwest than Dennis Kurcinich, Ralf Nader, Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, and Gandhi. I believe in competition, personal accountability, direct democracy, a mixed economy, transparency and strict accountability in government. I am a social/civil libertarian who believes there are too many laws. Too many laws that infringe on our right to do and say what we want as long as it dos not infringe on others rights to do the same or bring physical harm or cause harm from false statement. That means you have the right to be offended. To many people equate liberty with deregulation, making it easy for special interests to remove laws that were meant to keep things fair and balanced, leaving the laws that shackle us.
I am to the left of Gandhi yet, I am not a pacifist. Though, I believe that violence and all war can be prevented with persuasion, planning and forethought. Peace can not be achieved without the deterrent of a strong military to put the fear in imperialists and warmongers. On the other hand, Pentagon spending is horrendous in size and only needs to be that big if the US was planing on being an imperialist nation. O, and I am only for very limited gun control at state level.
Note: I took this test 18 moths ago and I noticed the questions have changed to reflect current politics and candidates.
My political compass -
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.95
