To be genuinely anti-American, as the Italian political scientist Robert Toscano points out, is to disapprove of the United States “for what it is, rather than what it does.”

I am definately not anti-American. But I sure disagree with how we conduct ourselves in the larger world. There is only one person I respect in Bush’s administration: Colin Powell. If that man were President, I suspect things would be different.

This is another interesting article. I was chatting with a co-worker about the deafening silence from the press in criticizing Bush. We need more criticism.

As I was driving the other day, I saw a billboard that said: America is Unity. I have to respectfully disagree. I think America is Diversity

It’s not, “You’re with us or you’re against us.” Whoever said that is an idiot.

Oh, hello President Bush.

The U.S. Needs To Open Up To the World.

It’s been a slow week on the old website here… busy on the homefront… I’ll have a big update for the weekend…

An important article that I think everyone should read.

The reaction to 9/11 is beyond anything Osama bin Laden could have hoped for in his nastiest dreams. As in McCarthy times, the freedoms that have made America the envy of the world are being systematically eroded. The combination of compliant US media and vested corporate interests is once more ensuring that a debate that should be ringing out in every town square is confined to the loftier columns of the East Coast press.

and later on…

Last Friday a friend of mine in California drove to his local supermarket with a sticker on his car saying: “Peace is also Patriotic”. It was gone by the time he’d finished shopping.

Where can I get one of those stickers?
