Is it time to raise taxes? Repeal tax cuts?

I found this brilliant article by Fahreed Zakaria.

The GOP should be called the "Grand ol' Spending Party".

Man, this country is going to shit if we don't do something soon.

Iraq was easier than Germany

Yes folks, that's the new defense for the Iraq war. It was far easier than winning the war against Hitler. I was discussing on a message board about how horrible the recent violence in Iraq has been (222 dead in the last three days). The first response from this guy was, and I quote...

"Sometimes I think you sit at home, watch for bad news on Iraq, and beat off."

So I respond...

"Is that all you have to say about this atrocity?"

Response...

"Yes. It is a war, people die. Sorry, Iraq still went down at a MUCH lower cost than Germany."

I'm at a loss of words for that one. I called him out on it and haven't gotten a response. I guess this is the new excuse for justification of the war in Iraq.

Ditch Holocaust Memorial Day?

Muslim groups in Britain are urging Tony Blair are urging him to get rid of the Holocaust Memorial day and replace it with a Genocide Memorial Day to honor the genocide of "Palestinians, Chechnians, and Bosnians" as well.

Now, I don't know enough to comment on the Chechnya or Bosnia crisis. So I won't.

However, I will never agree to calling the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians genocide. Genocide is:


"The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group."

Now unless I'm missing something, the Israelis have done no such thing with the Palestinians. To denounce the current struggle as "Israel is being genocidal" or "Israel is commiting genocide against the Palestinians" is wrong. Not only is this one sided (ignores the over thousand dead Israelis), it simply is incorrect.

Is it anti-semitism? No. Its just ignorant. However, when groups try and get rid of the Holocaust Memorial day in Britain under the premise that the Israelis are commiting against the Palestinians is anti-semitism.

"But Tzvika, I'm not criticizing Jews, this isn't a religious issue. Israel is a nation, not a religion." Well, Israel is the homeland for the Jews and is a Jewish country. There is nothing wrong with criticism of Israel, but one sided criticism, while trying to increase denial of the holocaust, now that in my eyes is Anti-Semitism.

CYBORG!

We're Gonna Take over the world, yeay Nucular!

Well we all know how much Bush loves his NUCULAR weapons. This pretty much proves that he's insane.... I mean, shit. I don't want to post incriminating evidence on the web anymore, where did I get this info? I think they have internet in the White House! Shit, I wonder if they used it to see a hurricane was going to destroy New Orleans?

A List of FEMA Failures

So how did FEMA screw up?

- FEMA won't accept Amtrak's help in evacuations
- FEMA turns away experienced firefighters
- FEMA turns back Wal-Mart supply trucks
- FEMA prevents Coast Guard from delivering diesel fuel
- FEMA won't let Red Cross deliver food
- FEMA bars morticians from entering New Orleans
- FEMA blocks 500-boat citizen flotilla from delivering aid
- FEMA fails to utilize Navy ship with 600-bed hospital on board
- FEMA to Chicago: Send just one truck
- FEMA turns away generators
- FEMA: "First Responders Urged Not To Respond"

I wish I was making this shit up. This is downright criminal. Michael "Brownie" needs to be fired if not sent to jail for this criminal act.
