"Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"

Some sort of popular revolt can only be a short time away as the Bush administration is shown, almost daily, to be a group of filthy liars.

But let's make damn sure we're bombing the right people. Invading Afghanistan was a good idea and took balls. I'll give Georgie that much. There actually were terrorist training camps there. But people were questioning Bush's allegations about the "Iraqi-Al Queda collaberation from the beginning because it smacked of "Saddam tried to kill my daddy," revenge.

As far as the whole immigration issue goes, I think our borders need to be strengthened and illegals kept out. I believe it is a national security issue. I sympathize with those immigrants, both legal and illegal, who say that they are not terrorists. But if we cannot secure our borders against illegal immigrants, no matter how benign their reasons for entering this country, how can we expect that our borders are safe against those who really do mean to do us harm? Illegals and Taxes Illegal immigrants argue that they are in fact paying taxes. But those are just local sales taxes that all...
