The rightist "conservative" media moguls who hate "liberals" actually hate a
free America.
Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, Hannity and O'Reilly, the Weekly Standard and Wall Street Journal---they all rant at some unspecified species allegedly left of center.
But right from its birth, America has been the very definition of a liberal nation.
Today's Foxist ditto-heads would have hated all America's founders: Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Paine, and even the father of the modern corporate state, Alexander Hamilton.
All were liberals, both classic and modern. The documents they wrote---the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights---all were the definition of liberal. Rush's "conservative" rightists would have hated them then. And though they won't admit it, they hate them now.
As for ending slavery, Ann Coulter would have SCREAMED at Abe Lincoln. The Emancipation Proclamation would have INFURIATED Hannity. The Gettysburg Address would have ENRAGED O'Reilly.
And don't even MENTION the environmentalism of U.S. Grant or Teddy Roosevelt.

No you wouldn't be free today if the news media of sixty odd years ago had
done what you liberals are doing today and had been successful.
You people are the cause of our problems in Iraq. You are giving aid and comfort to our enemies and are traitors. You should be tried as such. You would have been tried as such sixty years ago.
Wake up and try honesty. It fits better.

More lies, lies, lies from freepress. Who cares if a bunch of Marxist
historians and professors think Dubya is a horrible president? They're
wrong. George W. Bush did not steal the 2000 election, and he won't steal
the 2004 election, either. As more and more people realize what a pathetic
candidate John Kerry is, they will re-elect George W. Bush. And he richly
deserves to be re-elected.

“Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care…..”
“Whereas mankind owes the child the best it has to give”
Declaration of the Rights of the Child, 1959
It is a tragedy for the children of Iraq that the United Nations gave the power of occupation of their country to the only nation in the world (apart from the stateless Somalia) not to have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We should not be surprised that in the past year the children of Iraq have been subjected to every breach of human rights imaginable and that the United States aided and abetted by Britain have shredded the most fundamental tenets of our common humanity.
To enter Iraq one year after occupation is like visiting another world. I remember an April day in Baghdad two years ago, watching some young girls playing happily and safely in the street outside their home, and praying that the US would never invade this beautiful city. I don’t know where those children are now, whether they are alive or dead, but even my fearful imaginings of that time could not grasp the terrible reality that was to come.
I had meant to respond to Harvey Wasserman's May 5, 2004 "Put George W. Bush
in Prison!!!" column that day, but I would have just made most of the same
comments that follow with possibly a few other observations thrown in for
lagniappe. We will, IMNSHO, soon decide as a nation whether we the people
are to continue the noble experiment in freedom and liberty as our founders
foresaw, at least as they foresaw it for us white guys, whether this
government will hereinafter be of, by, and for the people, or whether this
once-Republic will drift into a corporatist, theological, totalitarian
police state. Going forward we the people will get the government we so
richly deserve unless we the people vote so overwhelmingly against this
regime, this cabal, in November for the election to again be stolen (of
course it's possible, if not likely, than an election will not take place).
In George W. Bushes latest attack ad, he accuses John Kerry of “Playing
politics with national security”. Bush’s negative advertisement falsely
states that Kerry wishes to repeal the use of wiretaps, subpoenas and
surveillance against terrorists.
I notice that you, like just about so many these days, keep on ranting about Bush is to blame for this and Bush is to blame for that. Bush is to blame for just about everything, as if this dumbshit bastard was some kind of wizard with the capability of doing much more more than to eat, bark and shit, like any other dog around.
You have had plutocracy rather than democracy prevailing in the US of A for generations. The President elected, whether Democrat or Republican, is the candidate supported by the "big money" in America, and is their man, running the show during his period, the way they want it run. This is a fact, not needing any further discussion but to be put on record here. It is evidently not clearly seen by the majority of the brainwashed American population, but for anyone observing the election process and show from outside, there is no doubt. Period. It is a fact.

Dear sir,

Not long ago, I received a letter from a prestigious university, requesting that I serve as an extramural or outsider reader to review the promotion file of another scholar seeking advancement to the level of distinguished professor. In academe, the work of all faculty is subjected regularly to evaluation and review. To move forward professionally one must submit a file, which documents the full scope of one’s publications, teaching evaluations, and entire service record to one’s professional association and to the university. That file, once complete, is sent around to others for their review and written assessment.
