President Bush Attacked By Flying Shoe's....

  and I'd like to see more of this kind of stuff, only done here in America.

   As you know, Bush kind of crept out of the United States so that he could go play in Iraq. Probably just to see how things are going so that he could come back with some fresher lies to tell us.

   Anyway, while speaking his usual bullshit, a protestor threw two size 10 shoes at Bush while telling him"This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" 

  Bush did manage to duck out of the way of the flying shoes. Should note that the protestor is a journalist with for Al-Baghdadia television.

"There is still more work to be done," Bush said after his meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

It was at that point the journalist stood up and threw a shoe from about 20 feet away. Bush ducked, and it narrowly missed his head. The second shoe came quickly, and Bush ducked again while several Iraqis grabbed the man and dragged him to the floor.

In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at someone is a sign of contempt. Iraqis whacked a statue of Saddam with their shoes after U.S. marines toppled it to the ground following the 2003 invasion

  Maybe Bush should consider borrowing a football helmet from the Washington Redskins the next time that he goes out of town.

Conservative Republicans Still At Large

   Just because we have a Democrat moving into the White House, along with a Democrat controlled House and Senate, does not mean that the fight for American citizens is over. Far from it. Those EVIL Republicans will fight every step of the way in order to keep the majority of Obama's ideas from becoming policy in this country. That is one thing that you can count on from the GOP. Filibuster,filibuster, and filibuster is mostly what we are going to get from the Republicans when the Congress attempts to pass anything meaningful for you and I. I'll bet that we have more filibuster's in Obama's first six months than we did in Bush's entire eight years in office. If it doesn't benefit big business, then the Republicans will try stopping those bills/laws from being implemented. They most certainly will try to stop any form of Universal Healthcare, as well as most kind of regulation of the banking industry and Wall Street. Better public school funding? Not going to happen if the GOP can help it.

   So, with that in mind...

The Cancer of Conservatism

I have wracked my brain and I cannot think of ANY time the Republicans EVER acted in the interests of ordinary working men and women. They and their allies fought savagely against unions, never hesitating to use violence and state power to destroy them. (There is a myth that violence in labor disputes is only union-generated; check out Henry Ford's war against the unions to see a powerful refutation of this, or the war of the coal mine owners against the unions in West Virginia and Kentucky.)

  further along..

           In short, the modern conservative movement's leaders consist of those who despise working people, those who proudly defend America's horrible racist legacy, the worst of the religious fanatics, and all those who wish to preserve America as an all-white, fundamentalist Christian patriarchy. On top of that is a group I can only call the New Imperialists, (the Neo-Conservatives) dedicated to imposing our "will" on every other nation on earth. And their methods of acquiring and keeping power have been so vicious and ugly as to shame any decent person.

Today, look what the Republican Party stands for: opposition to American working men and women, the channeling of trillions of dollars to the richest Americans, hatred of gays, hatred of immigrants, continued smoldering racism, opposition to desperately needed health care reforms, opposition to all environmental protections, spitting hatred for science, hatred for public schools, hatred of all those who are not fundamentalist Christians, support for torture, support for rendition, and support for the fantastically corrupt Bush-Cheney regime. The conservative cancer is the perpetuation of all the worst features of American life--intolerance, fear, prejudice, and tribalism. It is this cancer that screams out that Barack Obama is "the AntiChrist", a "Muslim radical", "corrupt", "ally of Satan", and all the other filth we have seen hurled at our next president. The Radical Right is now going to try to destroy Obama and block every reform he tries to institute. We, the Progressive Netroots, must and will fight these dangerous radicals every step of the way.

  I do suggest that you go and read the entire post here.
