America’s freedoms and democracy are haemorrhaging away…
Perhaps the voters at the next Presidential election will take a closer look at the values, beliefs and their vision for the future of the United States, before they cast their vote.
America is on a collision course with many nations mainly because of the conservatism of the American press. U.S. citizens are kept in the dark about how their country is viewed by the rest of the world and the sad reality is, Americans believe that everyone else in the world likes them and believes in their American foreign policy.

I’ve got to tell you hear and now, loud and clear, “America is considered by many countries as a dangerous country, a country trying to put their values and beliefs on the rest of the world. Believe me when I tell you, not everyone else wants what you have. Democracy is good only for those countries and their people that want it.”

Remember to the early missionaries that tried to shove their religion down the barbarian’s and natives throats? The only thing that went down their throats was the missionaries themselves. If people want change they will ask for it, they will seek it through protest and their own intellect. A lesson learned but forgotten!

In America you have a President who figures himself above the law, who in the last couple of days has stifled a Congressional investigation on some of his “spying” activities, a man who won’t listen to reason and is content spilling the blood of American youth on Iraqi and Afghanistan soil.

We all hate to be defined, too be figured out, but I must tell you that I think George W is a megalomaniac, with the same frame of mind as that of megalomaniacs before him. I even think George W will make a last ditch effort to remain in the White House at the end of his second term by declaring war on some country in the Middle East, perhaps his latest target, Iran.

As scary as it sounds, when the United States is engaged in war the president holding office can remain as president until that war is ended, if he so chooses. We all know that George W would have no hesitation on declaring war on Syria, North Korea or Iran if given the slightest chance.

He has so much as said so!

On a lighter note ♪…
Remember that dreadful MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica?
Nick Lachey was a member of the boy band 98 Degrees when he first met Jessica Simpson and was making a pretty fair quid for himself. After 3 years of marriage to this blonde bombshell (they wed in October 2002), a petition for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” was filed with the courts on 16 December 2005.
Nicky-boy is asking for the jewellery he gave Jessica to be returned, as well as other personal effects and a substantial “spousal support” as Jess now makes bundles more than him and wants the court to declare his earnings and accumulations from and after the date of separation from the other, to be determined assets.
I think after having (probably) some of the greatest sex for over three years with Jessica Simpson is enough payment for any one man. But get this, the couple never signed a prenuptial agreement they got married.
25-year-old singer-actress Jessica Simpson reportedly earned more than $40.63 US million last year, including earnings from her big-screen debut playing Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard movie.

Nick, think about it, aren't you being just a little bit greedy?

Wheatbag Johnny stands by his Muslim comment…
I really don’t want to plagiarise this about what our Prime Minister has stated about Muslim immigrants and how they treat their Muslim women so if you would be kind enough to go to: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/02/20/1140283978611.html

Mr. Howard said today it was his "right and duty" to express his thoughts.


Here’s a bit of a turn around…
Despicable Osama has been busy again in front of his camcorder, making accusations of US Forces committing "barbaric acts" in Iraq, comparable to those committed by Saddam Hussein when he was in power, according to an audio tape first broadcast on al-Jazeera television in January and posted on the internet in full today.

Despicable Osama says, "The (US) criminality has gone as far as raping women and holding them hostage before their husbands ... as for the torture of men it has now come to the use of burning chemical acids and electric drills in their joints," he said in the tape posted with an English-language voice over. (Hey, come on, give the guy a break, his command of the English language isn’t all that hot.) Despicable went on to say, “Despite all these barbaric methods, the mujahideen are strengthening and increasing by the grace of Allah."

Despicable went on to say, "Recently it has surfaced in documents that the butcher of freedom in the world had resolved to bomb the head offices of Al Jazeera satellite channel in Qatar after he had bombed its offices in Kabul and Baghdad although it, as it stands, is the instrument of your (Americans) servants there (in Qatar)."

I’m pretty sure Despicable was referring to George W as the “butcher of freedom”, but you know what, this could be the only comment he has made that makes any sense.

For he’s a jolly good...person?
Ten years in the top job in Australia. Onya Wheatbag Johnny!

Oh, our PM has been known by many playful names, but retains his sense of humour all the same. What’s this, you don’t believe ol’ Wheatbag has a giggle every once in a while?

Remember the Children Overboard affair and how we were misled; what about our fearless leader who used over $4 Aust million taxpayers money to pay outstanding entitlements to employees of a failed company of which a sibling of his just happened to be the chairman; for the man who revised downwards a set of ministerial proprieties because he didn’t want to offend a mate by sacking him?

What about the man who lives in George W’s right hand pocket, who sent our troops into battle in Afghanistan and Iraq on a set of rumours of weapons of mass destruction that turned out to be false but to this day are still considered an option for keeping our troops in harms way.

It’s funny, you know, a lot of us Australians don’t like Little Johnny, but here he is, still in the top job 10 years on. What keeps him there is simple; his dogged persistence, his economic credentials, his political cleverness and his powerful instinct for survival.

How the man keeps our respect, I have no idea!
