Kampala, Nov. 03 (CWNews.com) - The Ugandan government has arrested a Catholic priest, charging that he has been collaborating with rebels of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA).
Father Mathew Ojara, the pastor of Christ the King Church in Kitgum and a member of the Acholi Religious Leaders Peace Initiative, was arrested by soldiers on Monday and detained at the Kitgum police station. The priest's mobile phone, computer, and documents were confiscated.
Archbishop Baptist Odama described the arrest as shocking. He told the Monitor , Uganda's only independent newspaper, that "I do not know the reason behind it."
Authorities in Kitgum stated clearly that the priest would be formally charged with assisting the rebels. Lieutenant Okot Lapolo, speaking for the military, said Father Ojara "is going to appear in court, where evidence will be displayed."
Father Ojara is one of several Catholic priests in northern Uganda who have been in conflicts with the military for some time. Catholic leaders in war-torn northern Uganda have frequently criticized the army's conduct in the 18-year civil war, which has now displaced over 1 million people.
Look, folks.
This election is friggin' important.
And it tells you something that the Bush campaign is simply using pictures of Kerry to disenfranchise him.
Myself, personally, simply cannot trust Kerry with my nation. End of story. I don't trust the man. Bush may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but at least I know he's a man I can trust.
If you support Kerry, especially on the WMD/Iraq things, please read this linkage. It has quotes from Kerry about his "position" on the issue, the very issue that, for many of the people I talk to, is the cornerstone of their (vocalized, anyway) support for JFK.
Ah, yes. Later in the article... Hmm...

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Even left-wingers now laughing at global-warming talk
...
As Earth faces global cooling, both troglodyte right-wingers and lachrymose left-wingers find Al GoreÂ’s simmering-planet hypothesis increasingly hilarious...
...
— Commentator Harold Ambler declared ... added that Gore “owes the world an apology for his actions regarding global warming.” He called Gore’s assertion that “the science is in” on this issue “the biggest whopper ever sold to the public in the history of mankind.”
...
— “Not only is it false that human activity has any significant effect on global warming or the weather in general, but for the record, global warming is over,” retired Navy meteorologist Dr. Martin Hertzberg wrote on carbon-sense.com.
The physical chemist and self-described “scientist and lifelong liberal Democrat” added: “The average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere has declined over the last 10 years. From the El Niño Year of 1998 until January 2007, it dropped a quarter of a degree Celsius. From January 2007 to the spring of 2008, it dropped a whopping three-quarters of a degree Celsius. Those data further prove that the fear-mongering hysteria about human-caused global warming is completely unjustified and is totally counterproductive to our nation’s essential needs and security.”
...
“The so-called ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is not holding up,” Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., told his colleagues Jan. 8. “It is becoming increasingly clear that skepticism about man-made global warming fear is not a partisan left versus right issue.”
So-called “global warming” has accomplished the impossible: It has united liberals and conservatives in laughter.

GAO: 83% of big U.S companies, contractors use offshore tax havens
"This report shows that some of our country's largest companies and federal contractors, many of which are household names, continue to use offshore tax havens to avoid paying their fair share of taxes to the U.S. And, some of those companies have even received emergency economic funds from the government," Dorgan said. "I think we should take action to shut down these tax dodgers, and we will be introducing legislation to do just that."
Screw off. This is an effect of the fact that the U.S. tax code doesn't work, and is flawed. We need to abolish it and replace it with something that is logical (and doesn't require tax havens).
Corporate tax is passed on to the consumers, anyway.

For the past four years we've opposed (and only occasionally supported) policies associated with Republicans in general, and President Bush in particular. Some have assumed from this that we're anti-Republican, anti-Bush, and pro-Democrat.
Now we have the opposite problem. The Democrats have gained control of Congress and the White House. We've responded by opposing coercive Democratic proposals. As a result . . .
Some people jump to the conclusion that we're anti-Democrat, anti-Obama, and pro-Republican. Again, nothing could be further from the truth.
What we are, and intend to remain, is consistent.

What will there be in January?
When Bush II entered the White House, courtesy of the SCOTUS, he found a full treasury, bases and vassals all over the world, and little or no opposition to American hegemony. Obama is facing a prospect of a world in which opposition to and resentment of the American Empire are substantial; vassals are few and unreliable; and the government debt so big it defies comprehension. The American economy is tottering, while foreign governments that were willing to fund U.S. credit expansion are increasingly reluctant to continue doing so.

The government also expects to borrow $368 billion in the first quarter of next year. LetÂ’s hope the government is getting better at these estimates. If itÂ’s as bad at estimating future borrowings as it was in July, weÂ’re looking at a government that might need to borrow more than $2.5 trillion over the next two quarters, which would mean that the Treasury would be borrowing more than one-third of total Gross Domestic Product.
ThatÂ’s obviously unrealistic, and weÂ’re sure the new numbers reflect a better perception of the costs and risks faced by our environment. Because by now these guys who are cooking up these numbers must have learned something about risk, right?

HOSPITAL CHAIN REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH ASSISTED SUICIDE IN STATE OF WASHINGTON
NOVEMBER 10, 2008
Days after voters in the state of Washington approved a bill allowing doctors to assist their patients in suicide, the state's largest hospital system has announced that it "will not support physician-assisted suicide." Providence Health Care said that the decision "is grounded in our basic values of respect for the sacredness of life, compassionate care of dying and vulnerable persons, and respect for the integrity of medical, nursing, and allied health professions. We do not believe health care providers should ever be put in a position of aiding a patient in taking his or her own life.”

Our "peacetime" troop strength in those 140 countries is over 250,000 strong.

And it gets worse:
Meanwhile, the politicians continue to run deficits year after year, in spite of the looming financial crisis. More debt means more interest charges. Interest payments will already consume $272 billion in 2008 (Page 56). This means that nearly one dollar out of every four you pay in personal income taxes will go to these interest payments. (The personal income tax is expected to bring in $1.2 trillion in 2008 [Page 30]).

...and I think Ron Paul would sponsor that act (in the house, anyway).
To address this flawed and corruptible process I have proposed a very simple change called the Sunlight Rule, which mandates that bills be presented to Congress and staff for review in their final form no less than 10 days before they come to the floor for a vote. This would allow the representatives of the American people time to read the bills before having to make a decision on them. Every now and then you hear criticisms of congressmen and women for not reading the bills. That is a problem, however in cases like the Omnibus spending bills, a few hours is not nearly enough time to comb through and evaluate the hundreds of pages they contain. The rules do not currently specify any amount of time that must be allotted for Congress to read or deliberate any legislation before a vote. That needs to change.
Congress should read the bills. But to do that requires an appropriate amount of time. More appropriately phrased, Congress should be ALLOWED to read the bills. And no member of Congress should, in good conscience, vote affirmatively on a bill they haven't fully analyzed.

Yes. YES. YES!!!
since Congress has repeatedly committed “legislation without representation,” strong measures to prohibit these Congressional misrepresentations are both justified and required.
To this end we have created the “Read the Bills Act (RTBA).” RTBA requires that . . .
Each bill, and every amendment, must be read in its entirety before a quorum in both the House and Senate.
Every member of the House and Senate must sign a sworn affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has attentively either personally read, or heard read, the complete bill to be voted on.
Every old law coming up for renewal under the sunset provisions must also be read according to the same rules that apply to new bills.
Every bill to be voted on must be published on the Internet at least 7 days before a vote, and Congress must give public notice of the date when a vote will be held on that bill.
Passage of a bill that does not abide by these provisions will render the measure null and void, and establish grounds for the law to be challenged in court.
Congress cannot waive these requirements.

After all, we are seeking to reverse more than a century of big government, of the warfare-welfare state, of Federal Reserve's dollar manipulation, of a fat and happy military-industrial complex, of the subversion of our Constitution. So all the media and other "second-hand dealers in ideas," as F.A. Hayek called them, who have a vested interest in the current order, will do everything possible to smear me. They will do and say anything to try to block our movement. Even vote fraud is not beyond these people.

Independent Primary.com was started by independent political activists from across America to establish and measure the power and impact of independent-minded voters on the presidential election.
We are part of a movement bringing together ordinary Americans who think that the good of the country is more important than the good of the political parties.
Frustrated by the lack of genuine and inclusive dialogue about the issues that are critical to the future of our nation, Independent Primary is uniting independent-minded Americans into an organized force to challenge the partisanship and special interest control of policy-making which is endangering our democracy.
We are committed to find a new way of doing politics that is free from the domination of big money, political party bosses and the corporate-owned media.

multnomah county election
I just voted in Oregon for the first time. Politics are SUCH a heated issue...
My inclination is to vote NO! on many of the Propositions, Measures, and what-have-you's just in an effort to reduce the size of the government and the legislation corpus.
And so many touch-and-go issues and craftily-worded measures!
Basically I think with the local, green, farmer voice...
- Healthcare is (a) ridiculous, (b) NOT A BUSINESS (c) not even a WORD
- The school systems are a lost cause (except perhaps in Ashland, Oregon). Close them down and start small, local, village schools.
Local government should be primary... Taxes should be on BAD things, NOT property... Pretty much ALL the measures seeking money proposed property tax INCREASES...
Why not fund the wilderness-restoral of places that were damaged by poorly designed and managed hydroelectric power with a tax on all NON-RENEWABLE enery?
The library tax is also on property, but I voted FOR it. It works out to be several hundred dollars a year for an average household (but it is a renewal, not a new tax) and libraries probably should exist...
This country was based on a MORAL, EDUCATED majority, not on just ANY majority.

On Wednesday, Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), quoting from a Pentagon report, announced that since 2003, over 500 weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq. According to Santorum, these sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles prove that "weapons of mass destruction are, in fact, in Iraq." With news this important, one would expect wide-spread coverage, right? Wrong. The so-called main stream media is silent on this discovery, instead painting their own view of Iraq.

Traveling makes you learn things about yourself. It makes you learn things about your country. It makes you less tolerant of your fellow country men who trash your country.
A discussion came up recently about a man calling his country "the best country in the world," and whether that is something he should or should not do.
Well, I happen to think my country is the best country in the world. I think that perhaps it is a citizen's duty to think that his country is the best in the world. (Perhaps I am equivocating on best, here, but...). It seems that if a citizen's country is not the best in the world, he should work, tirelessly, to change that. And failing that...well I'll get to that in a bit.
It seems to me that many countries have been built up originally out of one culture, one people, one way of life. That is a good thing, a beautiful thing, in itself. It loses quite a bit of that 'cultural' beauty when the culture or country as a whole tries to impose itself upon another culture or country, at least in an oppressive way. The way that the Romans expanded their culture was to assimilate other cultures into their 'empire.'
It seems to me that the United States did not form from one culture, or one people, or one way of life. American culture is a mixture of all cultures that can be mixed together peacefully. As such, its 'culture' encompasses the foods, activities, religions, and so forth of many other cultures. This makes it a great place to live. Freedoms inherent in the Constitution and Bill of Rights and so forth -- as laid out by the founding fathers of this country -- are beyond what many other countries have.
People accusing the United States today of being 'empirical,' like the Romans were a few thousand of years ago. Perhaps it's not that actions of the USA that people are objecting to. Perhaps the USA is not being empirical. Perhaps other people, in other cultures, are tending towards the freedoms of the USA by their own choice. Like all those immigrants who started the United States did two hundred years ago.
So when I think that my country is the best, it is not a disparaging statement towards other cultures: it contains other 'cultures' and peoples into itself (perhaps not in full, but then, that's a tradeoff), and in effect, is saying that no one culture is 'the best,' but that 'the best' is to have as much of each one as it is possible to throw into the mix.
Perhaps that isn't coherent. I guess I'm saying that if Americans don't agree with that, they should emmigrate elsewhere. And if other people in other countries with less 'freedoms' agree with the USA's inherent beliefs, and are unable to change their own country, they should immigrate here.
Or maybe I'm just a stupid, pigheaded American fascist bastard. But I think we've got a good thing going here, and I think we need to fight tooth and nail to keep it going.

Ugandan priest arrested, charged with aiding rebels
Kampala, Nov. 03 (CWNews.com) - The Ugandan government has arrested a Catholic priest, charging that he has been collaborating with rebels of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA).
Father Mathew Ojara, the pastor of Christ the King Church in Kitgum and a member of the Acholi Religious Leaders Peace Initiative, was arrested by soldiers on Monday and detained at the Kitgum police station. The priest's mobile phone, computer, and documents were confiscated.
Archbishop Baptist Odama described the arrest as shocking. He told the Monitor , Uganda's only independent newspaper, that "I do not know the reason behind it."
Authorities in Kitgum stated clearly that the priest would be formally charged with assisting the rebels. Lieutenant Okot Lapolo, speaking for the military, said Father Ojara "is going to appear in court, where evidence will be displayed."
Father Ojara is one of several Catholic priests in northern Uganda who have been in conflicts with the military for some time. Catholic leaders in war-torn northern Uganda have frequently criticized the army's conduct in the 18-year civil war, which has now displaced over 1 million people.

Kerry operates with a finger in the wind. He HAS no convictions. Like Bill Clinton, he could stick a dog turd in his mouth and grin while he ate it as long as the cameras were rolling, catching that smile. George Bush would say, "That's a dog turd.

The next one was him tossing a concussion grenade into a basket of rice and got an ass full of rice. Nice. His third one was a bruise. In no instance was there any enemy fire. He got a bruise when he stumbled on the deck of his boat, and told the boat to take him to the LST so he could get medical treatment. The only enemy Kerry had to fight was John F’ing Kerry! I just wish he tried harder!

House passes Marriage Protection Act
The House approved a bill Thursday to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction over same-sex marriage cases. The Marriage Protection Act was adopted 233 to 194.
Right. Pardon my ignorance, but can't those same judges just strike down this statute as unconstitutional? Hmm...
"We applaud the House for passing this bill. However, because it is only a statute, like the Defense of Marriage Act, this measure is vulnerable to being struck down by an activist judge. For that reason, we will continue to push for both the House and Senate to pass an amendment to the US Constitution protecting marriage. Only then will the hands of activist judges at all levels be tied," Perkins added.
Ah, yes. Later in the article... Hmm...

I link to this article on the right. I hadn't thought about this, but calling a victory when it is still undecided is an effective political attack. It turns disenfranchised voters away from the poles. Ok, voters, this time stay true and stay there and vote. At least if you're voting for the right guy, wink, wink.
The false announcements that the polls were closed, as well as the premature calls (the Presidential race ten minutes early; the Senate race an hour early), may have cost Bush thousands of votes from the conservative panhandle, as discouraged last-minute voters heard that their state had already been decided; some last-minute voters on their way to the polling place turned around and went home. Other voters who were waiting in line left the polling place. In Florida, as elsewhere, voters who have arrived at the polling place before closing time often end up voting after closing time, because of long lines. The conventional wisdom of politics is that supporters of the losing candidate are most likely to give up on voting when they hear that their side has already lost.

Leaving aside the fact that the bin Laden family, which runs one of Saudi Arabia’s biggest construction firms, has never been linked to terrorism, the movie—which relied heavily on Unger’s book—fails to note the author’s conclusion about what to make of the supposed Bin Laden-Bath-Bush nexus: that it may not mean anything. The “Bush-Bin Laden ‘relationships’ were indirect—two degrees of separation, perhaps—and at times have been overstated,” Unger writes in his book.

KARLOVY VARY, Czech Republic -- Czech president Vaclav Klaus dubbed Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" as weak Communist-era style propaganda here Friday after a festival screening of the film. Klaus, known for his politically conservative views, was in the audience for the screening, accompanied by his wife Livia. "The message of this film is very weak and propagandistic," Klaus said. "We were used to such messages in the communist days. Everybody has open eyes and can understand that this is propaganda. It was a weak film that tells us nothing new." (Nick Holdsworth)

Rather than promote "stability" in the Middle East, as the United Nations suggests, nuclear disarmament by Israel would make the region more unstable. After all, Israel has had nuclear weapons for decades, and it's still around – as are all of its neighbors. How long would that be true without an Israeli nuclear arsenal no one can say.
...
Therefore, it is ludicrous to talk about Israel disarming. It's not going to happen. And it wouldn't be a good idea. In fact, it would be disastrous.

I've got a buncha things to blog about; I was thinking about them as I was falling asleep last night.
Over the past few days I've been running into all sorts of people that have almost nothing in common, but what they do have in common is that they all are vehemently anti-bush. Anti-George W. Bush, that is.
Most of these people have been lapping up the propoganda that Michael Moore *spits* has been feeding them.
I don't know quite what to say, because if I open my mouth, I will rant angrily about this liberal bullshit and the demise of patriotism. I love my country, dammit. Michael Moore *spits* hates it.
Most of these people agree with me unhesitatingly when I mention, in carefully chosen words, how what Michael Moore *spits* made is not a truthful [Note: I don't use these words!] piece of journalism, but rather anti-bush propaganda .
Hey, I just renamed him. His full name now is Michael Moore Spits. How about that?

Flop.
Make that Flop.
...Kerry continued to stress his "conservative values" as he sought to connect with the GOP-leaning bloc...
"I oppose abortion, personally," he told the newspaper... "I believe life does begin at conception."

thanks to After Abortion
UPDATE: Of course, those who support Kerry won't see these statements as hypocritical or asinine. They will probably praise him: "Look, he has his own views and he's not afraid to state them, but look how he looks after his people!"
Moonbats.
Fargin' moonbats.

Mr. Lion over at Capitalist Lion posts a good article on F911 and MMoore.
He has an argument, and he does some name-calling, too. Check it out.
