Just How BRAZEN Are The Bushies?




Time to end the Republican war on science

Tim Wheeler

WASHINGTON — “The Republican War on Science,” a best-selling book by Chris Mooney, exposes the multipronged offensive by the Bush-Cheney administration and the Republican Party to twist science to their right-wing agenda..

These modern-day “Know Nothings” rail against climate experts, branding their warnings of global warming as “unproven science.” Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), who has served Big Oil in the House loyally for 11 terms, even threatened a witch-hunt investigation of climate scientists for their subversive report that high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are pushing global temperatures to dangerous new highs.

The Bush-Cheney rejection of science in favor of brazen falsehood, deception, spin and delusions of global domination are creating a nightmare. More and more people are saying it is time to wake up and face reality. Our first real opportunity is casting our ballots Nov. 7 to end the nightmare.

Stiffing the Constitution

Pat Murphy

Unrelated as they may seem, the dismal 23 percent public approval of Congress' performance and the American Bar Association's stinging denunciation of President Bush's flagrant indifference toward law have a lot in common.

The low esteem for lawmakers is the result of congressional spinelessness and the unwillingness of a co-equal branch to stand up to Bush's brazen bullying.

As for the ABA's stinging reproof of Bush for profligate "signing statements" to disregard laws as alleged infringements on his powers, this stems from the free hand the Bush-Cheney-Rove axis has been given by Milquetoast lawmakers.

That's brilliant. Kellog's might take offense, but brilliant. Perhaps it should say "Kellog Brown & Root" instead.

3. Grounds for Impeachment from the Progressive
By Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive http://progressive.org

George W. Bush and his Administration have been so brazen in violating the law and asserting monarchical powers that we, as American citizens, must use the tool that the Constitution provides to reassert our rights, to reset the system of checks and balances, and to reestablish our democracy. That tool is impeachment.
