clipper's remarks: No. It's the Bush administration's war against journalists. And what was done to Sami al-Haj can be done to any American, thanks to the Patriot Act.

We need our freedoms and our dignity as Americans back from the tyranny of this administration.

America's War on Journalists

Sami al-Haj is a free man today, after having been imprisoned by the U.S. military for more than six years. His crime: journalism.

Targeting journalists, the Bush administration has engaged in direct assault, intimidation, imprisonment and information blackouts to limit the ability of journalists to do their jobs. The principal target these past seven years has been Al-Jazeera, the Arabic television network based in Doha, Qatar.

Sami al-Haj. A cameraman for Al-Jazeera, he was reporting on the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. On Dec. 15, 2001, while in a Pakistani town near the Afghanistan border, Haj was arrested, then imprisoned in Afghanistan. Six months later, shackled and gagged, he was flown to the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. Haj was held there for close to six years, repeatedly interrogated and never charged with any crime, never tried in a court.

Haj was abruptly released this week.

Compilation of lies the Bush administration told leading up to the Iraq war, the lies they told during the war to cover up the initial lies, then the admissions of lying when they were all lied out! Watch how certain Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and Wolfowitz were about things initially, only to later act as though there was no possible way to be certain.
They are trying to lie their way into war with Iran…DON’T BUY IT PEOPLE!

I found an anti-war poster on StumbleUpon which inspired me to make this.
Click on it to get a larger version. Print it out and stick it up.
I hope it will help spread the positive views of atheism and inspire people to see how pointless war is.

What can $611 billion buy?

If the Bush administration succeeds in its latest request for funding for the war in Iraq, the total cost would rise to $611.5 billion, according to the National Priorities Project, a nonprofit research group.

The amount got us wondering: What would $611 billion buy?

The following photos provide a pictorial glimpse of Hitler, how his Nazis mixed religion with government, and the support for Hitler by the Protestant and Catholic Churches in Germany. In, no way, does this gallery of photos intend to support Nazism or anti-Semitism, but instead, intends to warn against them.

Adolf Hitler (center) at the monument for the war dead in Franken Germany. According to Ray Cowdery, Hitler rarely missed an opportunity to visit war memorials, even when a photographer was not present.

Our Tax dollars at waste - medical marijuana and the fed

clipper's remarks: The wasted war on medical marijuana.

The Federal War on Medical Marijuana Becomes a War on Children

Automatic weapons. Check. Helicopters. Check. Dogs. Check. Bulletproof vests. Check.

Raids on medical marijuana dispensaries throughout California on July 17 by federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents, often with local law enforcement officers in tow, seemed designed to send a clear signal that the feds were deliberately escalating their war on medical marijuana patients.

A church-going family man who used medical marijuana to ease chronic pain from injuries sustained in a 2001 car accident, Naulls already had two successful businesses -- one as an IT consultant and another as a real estate property manager -- when he established the Healing Nations Collective to save fellow Corona patients the hours-long drive to Los Angeles for medicine.

Naulls' home and businesses were invaded by DEA agents armed with shotguns, automatic rifles -- even helicopters.

They weren't even accused of breaking any state laws.
