"As all of this unfolded, Muslim Americans were beaten and murdered in the streets, their stores vandalized, their places of worship desecrated. Christian leaders laid the blame for the terrorist attacks upon feminists, gays and the ACLU. The rest of us hunkered down and waited for daylight, anticipating the siege but not sure if the walls would hold. They had, after all, so thoroughly failed us on that bright September morning....

"There once was a dream called America, and it was beautiful indeed. It spoke loudly of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The dream was never fully realized, but the promise implicit in its creation swore that, some day, every day, we would stride in strength towards that more perfect union. So long as one living person holds that dream in their heart, it will never die. Even the horrors of the year we have passed are not strong enough to destroy that dream, and no force from beyond our borders could ever hope to end it. The dream has no borders. It lives in the soul....

"...a senior intelligence officer with the state department accused the media of "treason" because warning stories had been run on vulnerable future terrorist targets: chemical plants, the trucking industry and the food supply."

If *that's* treason, what do you call forcing the FBI to back off of Bin Laden?

We love BartCop:

Bush inherited surpluses and turned them into deficits. Bush inherited prosperity and turned it into recession. Bush inherited peace and turned it into a never-ending war. Bush inherited a democracy and turned into his personal sandbox.

What has the idiot Bush boy given us, besides a new skyline in New York?

Regarding September 11.... There are bad-guys in the world, who must be prevented from doing violence.

The Bush team, in its greed and arrogance, failed to protect the United States from the September 11 attacks. They explicitly prevented investigations of Bin Laden and the Saudi bankrollers, leaving us wide open to attack.

They have repeatedly lied to cover-up the extent of their fore-knowledge of the danger. They have repeatedly exploited the attacks to push through their prior agenda of destroying civil rights, spreading war and havoc around the world, and covering up their personal criminal fraud and conspiricies to enrich their cronies, not to mention the outrageous election fraud in Florida, and the Supreme Court's coup d'etat.

The Bush pirates should be rousted. We need elected politicians who will defend the United States, not make war on oil-rich countries to cripple the world economy and enrich their oil-field cronies.

I mumble "Cheney" when I'm reading the news and my parrot goes: "Cook the Books! Cook the Books!" or "Nuke Iraq, brawk!"

Me, I always think of that old song: "You can't hide your lyin' eyes". I tweak it a bit to fit DICK: "and that snarl is a thin disguise."

You gotta admit, me and my parrot are on the same wavelength since he stopped watching CNN all day.
