Political Cartoons: President Bush Is A War Criminal

On Friday Peru's largest labor union executed and anti-Bush protest. These hard working men and women have come to the same conclusion that many Americans have come to but have been too busy or affraid to say anything about it. This labor union charged that Mr Bush's decision to wage a costly war in Iraq contributed to the financial and economic crises. I in fact stongly feel that the International Criminal Court should try him for crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression. The genocide of the people of Iraq has gone on for far too long; there is really nothing to excuse this, especially considering that our troops were sent into Iraq under bogus pretenses. Let's face it, Bush and his damn war are more than likely; partly if not mostly responsible for the colapse of our economy. Also with Dick Cheney's a$$ on the line; I don't think Bush is going to get away with this. No matter how many lies he's willing to tell or how much money he's willing to spend. Soon it will be time to answer for his crimes against humanity and his failure to truly protect the American public.

Political Cartoons: Dick Cheney Is Going to the Clink



Well it appears that just like George W. Bush; old Dick just can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. Cheney has been indicted on state charges for various corruptions involving the Texas prison system. It seems that Dick and his good friend Alberto Gonzalez have been involved in crimes from embezzlement to murder. I hope they lock his ass up, and then they need to go after old Bush for all the war crimes he's commited. I've quoted the exact article below if your interested:
"McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been indicted on state charges involving federal prisons in a South Texas county that has been a source of bizarre legal and political battles under the outgoing prosecutor.
The indictment returned Monday has not yet been signed by the presiding judge, and no action can be taken until that happens.
The seven indictments made public in Willacy County on Tuesday included one naming state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. and some targeting public officials connected to District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra's own legal battles.
Regarding the indictments targeting the public officials, Guerra said, "the grand jury is the one that made those decisions, not me."
Guerra himself was under indictment for more than a year and half until a judge dismissed the indictments last month. Guerra's tenure ends this year after nearly two decades in office. He lost convincingly in a Democratic primary in March.
Guerra said the prison-related charges against Cheney and Gonzales are a national issue and experts from across the country testified to the grand jury.
Cheney is charged with engaging in an organized criminal activity related to the vice president's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds financial interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees because of his link to the prison companies.
Megan Mitchell, a spokeswoman for Cheney, declined to comment on Tuesday, saying that the vice president had not yet received a copy of the indictment.
The indictment accuses Gonzales of using his position while in office to stop an investigation in 2006 into abuses at one of the privately-run prisons.
Gonzales' attorney, George Terwilliger III, said in a written statement, "This is obviously a bogus charge on its face, as any good prosecutor can recognize." He said he hoped Texas authorities would take steps to stop "this abuse of the criminal justice system."
Another indictment released Tuesday accuses Lucio of profiting from his public office by accepting honoraria from prison management companies. Guerra announced his intention to investigate Lucio's prison consulting early last year.
Lucio's attorney, Michael Cowen, released a scathing statement accusing Guerra of settling political scores in his final weeks in office.
"Senator Lucio is completely innocent and has done nothing wrong," Cowen said, adding that he would file a motion to quash the indictment this week.
Willacy County has become a prison hub with county, state and federal lockups. Guerra has gone after the prison-politician nexus before, extracting guilty pleas from three former Willacy and Webb county commissioners after investigating bribery related to federal prison contacts.
Last month, a Willacy County grand jury indicted The GEO Group, a Florida private prison company, on a murder charge in the death of a prisoner days before his release. The three-count indictment alleged The GEO Group allowed other inmates to beat Gregorio de la Rosa Jr. to death with padlocks stuffed into socks. The death happened in 2001 at the Raymondville facility.
In 2006, a jury ordered the company to pay de la Rosa's family $47.5 million in a civil judgment. The Cheney-Gonzales indictment makes reference to the de la Rosa case.
None of the indictments released Tuesday had been signed by Presiding Judge Manuel Banales of the Fifth Administrative Judicial Region.
Last month, Banales dismissed indictments that charged Guerra with extorting money from a bail bond company and using his office for personal business. An appeals court had earlier ruled that a special prosecutor was improperly appointed to investigate Guerra.
After Guerra's office was raided as part of the investigation early last year, he camped outside the courthouse in a borrowed camper with a horse, three goats and a rooster. He threatened to dismiss hundreds of cases because he believed local law enforcement had aided the investigation against him"

Political Cartoons: Barack Obama is President!!?



Wow, this isn't the America I know or remember. Not the same place of slavery. Not the same place of segregation. Not the same place of Civil War, Civil Rights, etc. A black president, other than flawless credentials and excellent health; what's so special about this black guy? How in the hell did he achieve such an immediate landslide victory? Right off the bat it seemed like the usual kinda presidential nominee was losing by a landslide, and John McCain truly got whipped by a landslide. I believe the electoral vote was like 324 to 154 or something like that. Maybe its because Barack Obama listens to hip hop, or perhaps America is truly a new a wonderful place to be; a place where race is no longer the deciding factor in any situation or circumstance. A place where the problems that we face bring us all together no matter what color, creed or religion. This election has put the United in the United States of America. Or perhaps a better question is why did McCain lose?
