Fry the day

Hello and welcome to the weekend. we are in the middle of Vietnam #2, and there's nothing we can do except protest like the hippies did. Good luck to everyone, I'm getting right into it.


Article V of the Constitution states that, "on the application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, [Congress] shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments." This would allow us, the citizens, the ability to initiate amendments so we could change and/or clarify the Constitution. All 50 states have applied numerous times, and yet a convention has never been held. Why?

Thursday isn't a day too soon!

Well hello, and welcome to the pre-weekend party. We're chillin and discussing the similarities and differences between Iraq and Vietnam, care to join? Seems the Vietnam vets have quite a bit to say on the matter, along with Iraq vets. Although there is a major age gap between the two, they all seem to have the same general viewpoint. War blows. So, enjoy the anti-war themed messages you will find here today, and hopefully us non-vets can join in on protesting this pathetic excuse for a 'war'.


Why is George Bush suddenly making parallels between Iraq and Vietnam? Because he's preparing to shift the blame for another disaster.

Wed Nes Day

Yes sir, it's here. The middle of the week, and we can *finally* compare the 'War on Terror' with the Vietnam War. Somehow this idea came into George W's conscious, while the rest of us have been restless about it for the past 5 years. At least he figured it out, right? Well, we're screwed anyways. What's the count down to a police state? 4 months? I wish I knew, the pressure continues to push us closer and closer to the martial law state. Our freedoms are slim to none as it is, and it can only get worse. Thank you corporate media, for keeping us all so well educated on bullshit news and hiding real news so that people like me get to digg it up. It's a lot of fun, just so you know- and I'm not being facetious. Well, maybe a little bit :)


Post-War Bush Forgets Pre-War Bush's "Lessons Of Vietnam"

Jefferson & Madison wanted nothing to do with a powerful central government, preferring states & counties as the primary seats of government.

Cheney pushes attack on three camps in Iran where Iraqi Shiite militiamen have allegedly been training, to provoke Iran to retaliate militarily, which then would justify launching a massive air attack against Iran.
