President Bush loves God. He would love it if everyone knew how much he loves God so when they think God, they think Bush. In fact, Bush wants us to think that he & God are homies. Check it out...

"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."

There you have it - Bush is doing God's work, so sit down & shut up, all you Jews, Muslims, Bhuddists, and everyone out there who doesn't believe in Bush's Christian God. Don't get me wrong - I consider myself a non-religious Christian. I think that Jesus taught some great lessons, & led by example (treating the poor, outcasts, etc. like human beings), but I don't believe that the bible should be taken literally. Anyway, my own personal feelings aside, what Bush said immediately reminded me of this song: Read More

My friend and co-worker came in this morning with her bible. She heard a story on the radio yesterday about a speech that Bush gave recently. He was professing his faith, and than quoted John 3:16. So far, no big deal, right? Well, apparently when he cited the chapter & verse, he actually said "John 16:3" before saying "For God so loved the world...". According to my friend (via the radio program) none of Bush's staffers blinked an eye when he made the chapter-verse switch. Maybe if Bush knew what John 16:3 actually said, he would made sure not to mix it up... Read More

Hello,
Just went to Moore's site & found out that there are benefit screenings in 10 citys *tomorrow* around the country. Details here

And, so I don't get a diary citation, here's another link to brighten your day. Well, not really brighten..maybe shock &/or disgust.

New (?) idea to GOTV [and, yes, a poll]

Ok, I'm tired, and I'll probably end up editing & reposting this tomorrow, so bear with me.

I've been thinking about what I'm going to do to GOTV for Kerry. I am planning on bringing voter registration forms to f911, putting my MoveOn bumper sticker (as soon as I get it), and I will share my support for Kerry when asked by others. Yet, I feel that's not adequate. Read More

First, to anyone who said that Moore knew for a year that Disney wasn't going to distribute the film, go here and read Wacko Attacko, Response #1.

Now, for the update: Harvey & Bob Weinstein are actually buying "Farenheit 911" themselves! link Talk about standing behind your product. I didn't think there was any heart left in corporate America.

I, unlike many others, like Michael Moore's work - even w/it's faults - so this is good news for me. :)

I came across this speech given by JFK, and found some very interesting points in it.

Conspiracy Theories Speech
John F. Kennedy
November 18, 1961

In recent months I have spoken many times about how difficult and dangerous a period it is through which we now move. I would like to take this opportunity to say a word about the American spirit in this time of trial.

In the most critical periods of our nation's history, there have always been those fringes of our society who have sought to escape their own responsibility by finding a simple solution, an appealing slogan, or a convenient scapegoat.

My conversation with a Conservative

It's been a while since I posted a diary of substance...but I figured "Why start now?"
I just had the following conversation with my friend, an avid Bush/Republican apologist (even though he considers himself a Conservative Libertarian), and I felt I needed to share. (His IM screen name changed to protect him from some of yous guys ;) ...and I changed my IM screen name, too because I was using my work screen name, so please don't try to IM 'spyral' because you won't get me.) Now, I'm not the best debater (I was stoned through most of my high school debabe class), but I think I got him on a few points, and what does he do? Answer them w/facts? No, no...he just ends the conversation. I kinda want to bang my head against the wall now...Why does that feel normal after talking w/a Republican?

Anyway, the point of sharing all this is to illustrate what I believe the problem with the way conservatives argue:
*They throw around allegations that were proven to be false.
*Add a little comment that adds nothing to the dialogue or has nothing to do w/the main topic.
*Leave when things aren't going their way.
Has anyone else had this experience?

Without further ado, here's our conversation...in all it's glory! (Seriously, my apologies for the grammar/spelling/etc. mistakes.) Oh, and take the poll...
