Bush Tries to Whitewash History; Portrays Himself as a Victim

"...just five read the classified version of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction capabilities."

this shows that we elect representatives either too occupied with personal ambitions or not smart enough to do the job.

There is no fault to be found about giving Veterans raises to their benifits, no bad feeling about giving seniors or the extream poor raises in their benifits. But George, why didn't you do it before it was way too little and so late we still want to lynch you for effect?

You are a goon Georgy Porgy, an unrepentant recalcitrant goon at that! You have raped your own people in your own Country didn't you think we would get pissed about that?

George W. Bush has narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, so introspection and remorse aren't in his repertoire. His family consists almost entirely of personality-disordered alcoholics with a knack for accumulating money and power, often referred to as a "prominent" family.

He and his small circle of elite, religious conservatives are the only people who count for anything in his Weltanschauung.

Obama's neocon leanings and center-right politics are disturbing, but he's still several orders of magnitude preferable to Bush and his ilk.

We the American people will only have Justice for all the wrongs done by Bush, Cheney, Hadley, Tenant, Rice, Rumsfield, Feith, Wolfitz have done. Till War Crimes charges are brought against these people, found gulty and send them to Jail. Don't forget to bring Treason Charges to Karl Rove and Robert Novak for their role in the Outing of Valerie Plame, they also must be found guilty and sent to spend the rest of their lives in Jail. No excuses for this terrible group of people, We the American people the 76% that are intelligent want Justice, not just sending these guys off to a huge financial retirement package while the rest of us struggle each and every day. Remember - 4209 Soldiers killed in Iraq to date, 65,168 Soldiers wounded and have to fight every day for their rightful benefits, while Bobble Head Bush bask in the Sun of Dallas living among the Rich where every day for them is a party!

The funniest thing I think I have ever witnessed in my life, is the spectacle of this murderous asshole trying to put a good "Spin" on his tenure in office. Seriously, it really doesn't get any better than that, does it?

Bush: The name will forever more be synonymous with failure, incompetence and corruption.

Poor old Poppy Bush! For the very first time in my life, I am actually starting to feel sorry for the hideous old bastard. What a troubled night's sleep he must have. Can you imagine what he's going through? I suspect he wishes he talked Barb into having an abortion in the early winter of 1945.

He'll be remembered as the worst president in American history, no question about it. Name the lousiest chiefs executive you can think of:

Franklin Pierce
James Buchanan
Ulysses S Grant
Chester A. Arthur
Benjamen Harrison
Warren G. Harding
Herbert Hoover

They all take a back seat to George Walker Bush.

The "intelligence failure in Iraq" as bush calls it started with the intelligence failure in the White House...his. It was aided by the lack of intelligence in the media and by congress, both who badly failed the American People..this was deliberate. Both congress and the mainstream medai, for many reasons lack the courage to do the right thing, to represent the people, but then the American People do not pay their wages, special interests do. I know this has all been said before but it needs repeating...maybe the ultimate intelligence failure is with the American Public who fail to understand this and are indifferent to the death and destruction wrought by this administration, be it collateral damage or that of its military. Americans,at times, and at times aided by lies, deception and pr, rush to judgment and action promoted by the government... this has been our history and those who differ are riled and condemned, later to be proven right. Such an arrogance foolish nation the American public seems to be, so easily mislead. Thinking things through does not seem to be something Americans like to do.

To become a perfect mountebank, first you must sincerely believe your own fantasies, then reshape the World to make yourself into the hero you want everyone to see. Bush has accomplished that with remarkable talent and skill. He can tell his lies with total conviction and self-assurance. Thus, he lives in his own fantasy World complete.

Little Bushie told the cattle
"One more surge and costly battle,
then Iraq won't be a Waterloo.
Sure, I f**ked it up before,
but gimme 20,000 more,
'cuz otherwise I don't know what to do!"

Where those 20,000 come from,
that's another Bush conundrum:
can't call up the Draft or use The Bomb.
He has never been in warfare,
must think soldiers come from Nowhere,
where he went instead of Viet Nam.

Frikken war is costing Billions,
Bushie even thinks Brazilians,
but his Budget doesn't factor this.
So when he sees some cash to snare-
retirement funds or Medicare-
we may not have a pot in which to piss.

How did this one get elected?
Failure must have been suspected,
but the folks were mad at Mister Bill.
He had played too much at Cupid,
now the Blind have led the Stupid
down the ditch wherever Bushie will.

Nobody served in the Storm Troopers. What happened to the 60 millions who voted Bush/Cheney?
Only Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich opposed Bush's every measure.
The self-styled Progressives who make laundry lists of his sins failed to prosecute him for eight years.

I protested the war before it started, and I never really believed there were WMDs. I have been against this since way before it started. I figured that a disaster in Iraq would at least be a lesson for the future. Now, it seems that even that bright spot has been obliterated. IF Iraq was never a mistake, THEN there is no lesson to be learned; the next time some idiot decides to take the country on a pointless war, no one will look back and say: "Hey wait, remember Iraq". By declaring the war was really a good idea and that things have turned out just fine, Bush and company have been "proved right" and deprived the country the object lesson we deserve. There is a cost to re-writing history. Americans and Iraqis dying in Iraq to prove that war is generally a bad idea would be one thing, Americans and Iraqis dying in Iraq to prove that Bush was right is just obscene.

It surely would be helpful if our mainstream news media finally put to rest this lie that the Bush/Neocon gang successfully sold "we had faulty intelligience." In fact, they knew the inspectors had successfully disarmed Saddam and his embryonic nuclear programs. But by knowing this it guaranteed they would attack Iraq believing it would be "a slam dunk cakewalk." We should have realized they would never have dared to attack Iraq if they truly believed they possessed a WMD arsenal. This was proven by the policies Washington and London used to deal with North Korea, a nation that had such weaponry and was ready and willing to use them. steve, world war2

Let's remember that the Iraqi journalist who tossed the shoes (which Bush dodged by leaning to the left) did so in response to just such revisionist lies. Every time Bush or Rove or Cheney is interviewed during the current campaign to propagate these lies the interviewer should have his or her shoes sitting prominently on the desk, ready for action.

It would be the only demonstration of any modicum of decency present in this idiot primate. After all, being the moron who ineptly fell into the pile of his own hot, steaming load he's dangerously lit ablaze inside the White House, and pretending that his ruthless ignorance is somehow anyone's fault but his own does not play well with the American people. We've been watching this play out every moment since the SCOTUS appointed this rascal the first time he lost the election. And, frankly, we've chosen to believe our eyes rather than Dumya. Truman put it best: the buck stops at the desk of the Decider, a position to which Dumya laid notorious claim on several occasions. The pinhead may as well get used to wearing that dunce cap well into infamy for the duration of American history. After all, over the last eight years, Dumya invested so much of himself into becoming the eternal internationally renowned ass for whom he is to be forever known to be. Somewhere, Saddam Hussein is laughing his butt off.

Sorry George that's not the way it happened. The facts were manufactured according to your instructions by people who knew better. But they all served their leader. Dissentors were fired. The problem arose when YOUR idea doomed to failure from the beginning went bad, at about week three of the invasion. Over five years and four thousand + Americans lives were spent trying to make you look like something other than the traitor you are. If you ever come out of your stupor and realize what you really did you'll find a way out of your misery all by yourself. As for those who supported you, they are already paying their dues. Writing a "forgive me" book is not enough. The Iraq invasion is the high point of your shameful life. Who's fault are the first 55 years? Had you been born poor you would have been in jail by the time you were 17 years old. You are and always were a 'threat to society'. Your life IS your legacy. Nothing changes just because you write it down. Regrets, if you have any, mean nothing. Just go away. Thanks, ANNA

Rod Serling could not have dreamed a better script.

Shrub wakes to find himself in what appears to be the afterlife. A sonorous voice welcomes him to his new world, the one where he will dwell forever.

What is this place, he asks, looks kinda like a place I once tried to destroy?

And who's that shaggy looking guy in my cell?

And what's a guy to do around here for fun?

Answers the voice: Iraq. Saddam. Contrition, atonement, and by day, you will personally work to near death to rebuild. By night, you will experience a nightmarish world sharing and living the suffering, mutilation, death, fear, and loss of each and every victim of the world of war you inflicted on this nation.

Now that's kharma. Anyone wonder why he refuses to acknowledge responsibility?

Our "decider" is nothing of the kind: he's along for the ride while the REAL powers that be have damn near ruined this country. Some say they already have, and they may well be right. Back to our prezdint. By now anyone who has a nodding acquaintence with psychology has probably surmized that georgiepoo ain't quite right in the head. Whether it's a personality disorder called sociopathy, a psychosis, or something else, is best evaluated by those with PHDs or MDs behind their names. As a former drug abuse counselor it's my considered opinion that bush is suffering from organic brain syndrome, a catchall phrase used to describe aberrant behavior caused by damage to the brain from toxic substance(s) such as alcohol, for instance. We all know about opinions; everybody's got one. This is mine for what it's worth. Be that as it may there is absoultely NO EXCUSE for bush's criminality, or his associations with other crooks. I can't pretend to know what is going on in bush's nasty mind, nor would I want to get inside it to see what's there. I'd rather wade through a cesspool. One sure way to compound the disasterous effects of the bush crime family's manifold crimes is to let them slither out of any accounting in the way of legal action against them. That would be the ultimate crime in my opinion.

From the article:
"... there's no vigorous opposition to Bush's efforts to rewrite history. And that, in turn, is something we may have occasion to regret someday."

Uh, huh.

Just like Bush felt entitled to repeat – and build upon – Richard Nixon's criminality, thanks to President Ford's preemptive pardon of Tricky Dick, and, years later, the media's attempt to shore up Nixon's rotted persona. In Bush's case, I am especially referring to Nixon's most infamous quote: "If the President does it, then it's not illegal."

Apparently, we're going to let yet another criminal president "get away with it" AGAIN, which will virtually guarantee that a dictator will occupy the White House at some point in the future. (Sieg Heil to Der Furher Palin?!)

It was annoying to read this article about the how Bush lied us into the Iraqi war. Who didn't know that? But what was annoying was that there was somebody who knew the truth all the time and nobody listened to him, namely Dennis Kucinich. He warned us all of the truth. Of course after the war was in full swing, we all got the Downing Street report that did tell the truth-that Bush and Blair cooked the whole story up so that they could invade Iraq.

This whole fiasco of Bush trying to obsolve himself of his crimes is sickening. If anybody else saw his statment about it on TV with Laura sitting beside him, you must have seen her glassy-eyed expression when he was lying his ass off. How can anybody live with that kind of deceit?

It's a good thing that there are so many of out here who do know the truth and are writing it. But that will not be enough! We must make sure that those responsible for this hideous war and the deaths and the maiming of so many of our young people and those of Iraq pay for it with their freedom. Bush and his buddies who perpetrated this event must be held accountable.


The members of the Bush crime family deliberately lied so they could invade Iraq and steal their oil. Lest we forget, these people are oil people and they do know that business. It's just the business of honestly running the country they swore to protect that they didn't care to observe.

At least Colin Powell has come forward and said that the Bush administration was lying all the time about the situation in Iraq but it's a little late.

So, once again, write, email, call or visit your representatives and make sure that they know how you feel about impeachment. Forget traitor Pelosi and whatever deal she made with that devil but she will pay for it somehow. These people must be prosecuted and as soon as possible.

You know how they have these laws that keep criminals from profiting from their crimes? So that they can't make money from selling TV movie rights or stuff like that? I think there should be something like that with ex-presidents.

Of course you just KNOW what's gonna happen once Bush is out of office after Jan 20. He'll have a whole line-up of speaking engagements at $100,000 a pop. And there will be all those contributors who will donate $millions$ to the "Bush Presidency Library and Archive". To which all those people will go who still believe in Bush--you know the idiotic 20% who still think he's doing a great job.

I think the Justice Department should sieze all those donations and speaking fees and use it for restitution for some of Bush's victims. Maybe restitution for Guantanamo prisoners or Iraq rebuilding.

This lunacy of unnecessary wars of choice will not CHANGE until America stops operating for the benefit of Israel, and starts operating for the benefit of Americans. The current NeoCon effort to place the blame for the war in Iraq on "bad" intelligence is a scam. If one reads the writing of Richard Clarke and Paul O'Neil, it is clear that a war against Iraq was at the top of the Bush list of things to do from 20 Jan 2001. The Brits, in the infamous "Downing
St memo", knew that the intelligence was being falsified to support a war on Iraq. Zionist NeoCons like Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle, Miller, Krauthammer and Kristol, and the AIPAC and AEI crowd all pushed for this war of choice to knock off an enemy of Israel. Now that it has backfired hugely, watch the vermin liars squirm. But, these UNAMERICAN worms will continue to push for an American war on Iran. Of course, these vermin did not serve a day in the US military, nor will their kids. But, they have no problems with YOUR kids dying in unnecessary wars.

No Pity I say!

This self servient "A" is doing just what the authors says.

If domestic criminals played his cover up wordsmithing games, They'd be locked up just the same.
This knee-jerk reactionary Bush master can not hide from his crimes against humanity.

The numbers of those that have suffered and growing as his policies continue their dismal effects are staggering. But The American people have been too preoccupied with loosing their materialistic ways they don't give this illqualified, over zealous, errogant, bastard any attention in so far as seeing that he is made accountable.

Bush said," ..I take full responsibility".

Well Jack, DO it!

He must pay for his crimes and utter and complete disruption of life for millions of people around the world.

He can't blame terrorist for the part for he played in escalating a world wide economic break down because he wasn't attending to Homeland Security right here in our country. From Katrina to covering up truth of 911 to the economic collapse. The Cat must be let out of the bag.
The lies and distractions by media continue to ignor the elephantS in the room. Perpetuating the denial within the US population it's self is a crime. It can not be denied calling this all a cover-up, by propaganda.

• Domestic Spying is still going on.
• Habeus Corpus is still not a right,
• Military Commisions act is still in motion.
• The bastard is still sending missles, drones, bombing attacks and the people here are still paying bounty hunters (Black Water), and the US continues $300/month serverance pay to each Iraqi not to fight against our colonialism.

• Americans have no health care, Retirement and Social security has been raided and obsconded with the $.

• The bastards that have been allowed to destroy the nations economy (if it really ever had one) are still in power.
• No one have ever faced charges for security failures becuase of 911
• Hey, Rummy, where's the over 2 trillion dollars that was lost

Man, the criminals are all free as jay birds.
What is it the congress and the vast American people not realize?

Lastly Push for Impeachment, & Accountability

Then the nation and the world can begin to heal.

Never let your children not realize that without accountability the government can never ever be trusted.

in all the controversy over the intelligence that, even if every fabrication used to justify the war were factual and true, it still would not amount to a legitimate causus belli and everyone involved, Democrat and Republican, neo-liberal and neo-con, president, senator and soldier, would still be a war criminal. The contents of the intelligence dossiers, their factual accuracy, how they were produced, whether legislators read them, whether legislators believed them---all of this is entirely irrelevant. The invasion was aggressive war.

Republicans always think they are victims, they suffer at the hands of us meanie liberals or some other minority group.

This is what John Dean and Barry Goldwater were trying to say in their last book, written just before Goldwater died. They put forth the idea that the Republican party has degenerated into a bunch of people who always feel they are being victimized by everybody else. This is what the authoritarian personality is all about, people who are always playing the victim game instead of taking responsibility for ones own life they always want some authority figure to tell them what they must do to keep everything the same ( same = conservativism) and running 'as-is'. They live in some kind of mortal fear that doing anything even a bit different will make the 'sky fall' and lead to some kind of disaster, for them. They don't care about anyone else, it's just all about them, and their fears. We liberals know life is not guaranteed. They live in great fear of any instability. They are fearful people. For them it IS very real.

This is also why Repubs align so well with religion, it too always thinks it is being attacked by the "other", some "other". The "other" is the people who think differently, that is we liberals. So to maintain their power they are always attacking the "other", us liberals or anyone who deigns to think differently, like we liberals, or gays, or Islamofascists, or all of those evil Iraqis who have all those WMDs, or legal Hispanics, or African Americans, or, or, or, or ... For the authoritarians there is ALWAYS another "or" group, the other who threaten them, like Obama, who is another other.

Authoritaerians are very formulaic people. They think that by following certain formulas or proscriptions for living the sky will not fall, Chicken Little will survive and life will be oh so very safe and secure. Republicans have the victimology mindset down pat, and are always playing that game. Because of that mindset they truly are always living in fear.

That is also and used to be their business philosophy, that if they did not follow exact formulas thier businesses would fail. IOW, take away their African slaves and their businesses will fail. Well of course that is true because their business model was predicated on using slave labor for their economic survival. Take away their slaves and strike economic terror in their evil flinty hearts. Their business model is based on the degradation of others, the other, the different ones, those dark people.

Religion is the same way, the "other" is a threat, it is someone to be feared and controlled. Religion now fears women and gays, of whom neither fit into their male model of religion. So they threaten because they think everyone else is threatening them.

My best guess is that someone important will die in the next few years. So far it has been Afghanis and Iraqis and our troops. It was also some of us liberals, for example those members of that Unitarian Church in Tennessee and that Democratic party official in Arkansas. In the past the other who had to die has been Jews, women, Gays and Blacks. Should the Secret Service fail, Obama or Biden will die. Some religious leader somewhere may die, which will cause a massive disaster, probably including lots of deaths of very ordinary everyday people who will take the blame for the death of that religious leader. Though it will be done by a single person or a small group of people many people will take the blame and suffer for it.

A perfect example is the fact that a very few Jews (probably 6-8) called for the death of Jesus. Yet ever since then the entire Jewish diaspora has been paying the price for that single event, done by a very few. That is a perfect example of religious hatred, the hatred of one religious group for another.

Oh welll...

In my opinion, even more shocking than the unbelievable disconnect and historical revisionism of the shrub is Dead-Eye Dick's admission on national television that he committed a war crime. Jonathan Turley is 100% correct when he says the failure of our citizenry to act against this evil cabal is incredibly dangerous to the country's future.

Some people passionately and fully believe that what they wish to be true IS true. Cutting taxes raises revenue. Telling teenagers the truth about sex is what makes them want to do it. All poor people are just lazy. All these people losing their houses are theives who were trying to rip off the poor banks. The people who think that way were just waiting for somebody like Ahmed Chalabi (and his pet intelligence source, Screwball) to walk in and tell them they were right all along. They could not be wrong. Everybody who disagreed were just fools. dupes, or traitors. Had they (the Neocons) been lying intentionally, it would have been simple for just one barrel of Sarin to show up, and, viola, he had WMD. No, these idiots actually believed every bit of crap they spouted. More's the pity, especially for the US electorate who trusted them.

Bravo! What a pathetic effort by G W Bush to tell enough lies at this point in an obvious effort to cover up his own astounding incompetence and rank stupidity in invading Iraq against the strongest warnings from Syria, Turkey, Russia, Iran - - not to mention Germany and France - - that the invasion would trigger a vicious civil war. Truly a "serial bungler" as the Financial Times called him yesterday.

The end of corruption and greed is near.

We need a leader who is incapable of corruption...who looks out for ALL humanity, especially the poor and underprivileged. We need a teacher who can show us the way forward, into a brighter future of peace based on justice and freedom.

Some think such a GREAT ONE is already here, and about to step forward into the public.

Look for an unusually bright star to appear in the sky soon. This will signal the start of a whole new chapter for mankind.

Bush is living out his fantasy of his new other world order. Just think about it - creating a Presidential Library complete with his new other world order legacy.

We could all pay tribute to his new other world order fantasy by stopping by the White House, while he is still there and dropping off a present of our appreciation. We could drop a shoe off or two. Of course, I wouldn't recommend throwing it, but we could drop them off. I can see it now, 60 million or so pairs of shoes in his tribute.

Another idea would be to start a collection of shoes to give to him as a house warming present for his new house. Can you see it? Truck loads full of shoes packing the gated streets leading to his house.

Also, we could keep the legend going by dropping off a shoe or two at his new Presidential Library for at least a century or so to keep the fitting shoe donated from every person until he is known as "The Shoe President deserving of every insult". Just think of the legacy he would have. At least it would be full of sole.

W. Bush has 30 days left to abuse the American legal system and the constitution, and then he is politically over. No Republican wants to touch him. The man will live his public life with a shoe flying across the screen. His rich friends will throw a few quiet parties in his honor.

Otherwise W. Bush will go home. He will have an open bottle of bourbon, a bowl of pretzels and a football game on the TV. He won't do anything. Maybe his prayer circle will do something for him, but maybe not. We'll find out if Laura intended to leave him after the Presidency ended.

as my late husband used to say...

bush exhibits typical alcoholic/cocaine addicted behavior...alcohol in particular changes the brain permanently so even if he isn't using he's still an alcoholic and still has alcoholic thinking.

And by not impeaching them for their many crimes, the Democratic Party is complicit.

This is a man who has escaped impeachment but who should not escape prosecution. The Constitution was torn asunder in his administration with insults to the sacred ideals of democracy by removing Habeus Corpus, authorizing torture (what a Christian he is), scooping people off the street at night and rendering them to foreign countries who did his dirty work. This is not to forget what his administration did to Plame. He has been secretive, threatening and started a war that need not have been started. The blood of our warrioors is on his hands. Noble though they were their president (using the term loosely) gave them an ignoble cause. Secrecy, torture, kidnapping, the raping of the constitution, and a Bush beauracracy gone wild...chronyism to the extreme...the result of which we are seeing in the finacial Hiroshima of our time. Bad Bush, Worst Bush, where is his courage and his mea culpa? The answer to which is that this draft dodger and all his draft dodging friends had bluster but absolutely no courage. George Bush, no. 1 in the hall of shame.

The 4 Government branches are The Legislative The Executive The Judicial and THE PEOPLE! The People have too often neglected their Duties as Citizens. If The People don't become more politically active, the next generation likely will have to deal with a mess like the one we have now! "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty!"

The EARTHLY TRINITY composed in PRESENCE of GOD by BUSHITLER, BLAIRAT and ASSNAROPUSDEI have PROSTITUTED with the ESSENCE of HUMAN RIGHTS, STEPPED on CHRIST DOCTRINE, HUMAN RIGHTS, LEGALITY, MORALITY and PISSED on his HOLY CROSS. They have given the synonym SATANITY to CHRISTIANITY and DAMNATION to the BEATITUDES that SAVIOUR CHRIST preached among RATIONAL INDIVIDUALS. BEATITUDES were applied on the RATS OF DRAINGES and later on, they appeared on the STAGE of LIFE in INVISIBLE CASSOCKS to speak the WORD of GOD, based on LIES, ASSAULT on REASON, FAITH on TORTURES, CANNIBALISM CONCEPTS, UNFOUNDED PRECEPTS, UNPRECEDENTED IMMORALITIES, DAMN DOCTRINES, WAR ON ERRORISM, TERRORISM IDEOLOGIES, DEVILISH APOSTLESHIP and THEOLOGIES from POLITICS. They gave BIRTH to the NEW IMPROVED and PERFECTED MEDIEVALIZED CRUSADES. The INNOVATORS of CRUSADES and HOLOCAUSTS have no SHAME or MERCIFUL before WORLDWIDE NATIONS. WORLD LEADERS seemed to have PULL AND WEAR BALLS, as they have had their MOUTHS SEALED. There are no PLACE for COWARDS and the only PLACE is BOOKED for JUSTICE and HUMAN RIGHT which can never be DEFEATED by the most SOPHISTIC ARMAMENTS, INCOHERENT EMPIRES, SHAMELESS OPUS DEI or OPUS DEI and the GERMAN PASTOR WITHOUT DEGREE AT THE VATICAN PLANET or PENTAGON.

This man and his administration need to be brought up on war crimes charges; and before any of you get on your high horses I did not vote for him or the Cheney-Monster in either of their terms of power.
In the eight years they have stood as the figure and power bases (respectively) the have utterly and miserably immersed America in a War She cannot win and has no right being in (very sorry Veterans, I respect and love you dearly but this is my opinion). While using the Country as a cover these two and their cronies have bled money out of not only the Armed Forces by placing personal contracts and companies in Iraq; but also in Lousiana and the Gulf States to profit by Hurricane Katrina when that great disaster hit.
These men and women should be brought up on Federal crimes of Warmongering, Racketeering, Profiteering, Torturing (before Found Guilty), and Gods know What Else.
Thank you for Reading This. Please Throw Small Rocks, I'm An Elderly Otter.

In the beginning of the Bush administration media was comparing the Bush and Adams family. The fathers and sons were both Presidents. This is not the first President who tried to re-write history and remove his political enemies from power with sex scandals, etc. by the media.

Have you seen the Afro-American writer who claims Thomas Jefferson was abusive to her ancestor the slave Sally Hemmings on the History Channel? She claims they had an affair and there is a DNA gene traced to a male ancestor of Jefferson's brother. Jefferson's brother may have had the affair with Sally the slave. Who knows since Jefferson had no male heirs. Thomas Jefferson only had a daughter. Jefferson's brother ran the Jefferson estate when Thomas was in DC, etc. Thomas Jefferson is not here to defend himself.

Even if Jefferson knew his brother had the affair or children with a black slave he wouldn't say anything. It was against the law to marry a slave in Virginia. The family would have been shamed and even jailed. Thomas Jefferson or the brother may have loved her but couldn't marry. Why is the author so angry about her ancestor except she is trying to prove her ancestor was abused by "democratic loving" President Thomas Jefferson? It may have been consentual. She's determined to ruin him today.

All Progressive Democrats, reformers, and freedom loving Founding Fathers are being attacked and history re-written (but Adams whose history gets better all the time).

I read a book about Alexander Hamilton and the author kept trying to make out he was gay...over and over. It ruined the whole story and the author's credibility. It was apparent that the author disliked Hamilton. The author tried to prove himself over and over but had no real proof. Again Hamilton is not hear to defend himself. Hamilton was married and loved his wife and children. He almost died defending us from the British. No politician today would do that for their country.

Beside Adams Lincoln is a favorite on CSPAN and the History Channel. Lincoln was the first Republican (a "War President" like Bush). Lincoln would not have approved of RW Republicans today. He wanted evangelicals out of the government. He gave them no funding or power. He wanted to keep the union and stop the fighting. He was no globalist seeking to attack other nations for their resources and wealth. No torture was encouraged. He treated the enemy soldiers with respect since he knew it would heal the union in the end. Lincoln wanted to reward the Afro-Americans who fought in the war with voting rights and freedom.

Republicans today have lost their way by removing everyone's rights and freedoms. Instead they are about fear and tyranny.

The History Channel (Disney owned) has been trying to ruin Jefferson's legacy and prop up President Adams. They didn't agree on the people having rule (the few elite should decide) and are using propaganda to destroy democracy. Jefferson was very liberal and loved by all. He believed in rule by "We the people". He believed democracy is a natural state for man. Adams was an Anglophile. Adams tried to start a war against France after they helped us defeat the British. The French went into debt trying to help us. He hated their free ways of love, etc. (he forgot the Brits weren't saints).

Adams passed the Sedition Act which was similar to the Patriot Act so he could do war against France. Adams was not liked because of the Sedition Act, his stiff manner, and judgmental temperment. Not a good looking man either. I feel he was jealous of Jefferson. Adams read his Bible everyday and wrote his in his diary so history would not forget his accomplishments, etc. He was a very religious man who believed in killing the French. Jefferson defeated Adams in the election for President. Jefferson's first act was to repeal the hated Sedition Act.

His actions, once again fly in the face of the alleged religious faith he claims to adhere to and believe. It's blasphemous for a mere human being to never accept responsibility for his or her own bad actions, as if they are perfect.
I wonder what "God said" to him about this in their "conversations"

American 'elections' are all about local, regional, social and religious (NOT ETHICAL-NOT HUMANITARIAN) issues. Period! These are the issues Wall Street, Main Street, Churches,Oil/Defense Conglomerates, Main Stream Media and 'Lobbies' want 'elections' to be fought on. Foreign Policy issues? What Foreign Policy? Who cares! Even Barack Obama is moving into the Oval Office shackled with AIPAC chains! Other than cosmetic changes here and there, US Foreign Policy for/in the Middle East, will remain as is!

The intelligence was cherry picked by the pro war ideologues who dominated the Bush regime. Bush was installed by the right wing ideologues on the Supreme Court. The right wing ideologues ignored the warnings that led to 9/11 tragedy and they reacted as knee jerk militarists by attacking Taliban in Afghanistan, but the victory came too quick and went to the Northern Alliance rather than our glorious American military. Rather than rebuilding Afghanistan the militarists did what they do best, organized another invasion that would show American power again. The intelligence was fixed (cherry picked) to attain the objective. We all know the consequences of Iraq Fiasco but we should think about the future. What sort of ideology will rule the Obama administration? I was underwhelmed by Obama's choices to go with the experience Clintonista neoliberal ideologues in foreign policy. When Obama justified the diversity of his selections I thought where is Noam Chomsky because having Chomsky on the team who show a real commitment to ending a militaristic interventionist foreign policy group-think which has dominated DC since 1940. Can we do in 2009 what we should have done in 2002- rebuild Afghanistan? Is Obama surging troop in Afghanistan likely to lead to success and what does success look like? what are American objectives in Afghanistan? Brezhnev was in favor of a Soviet troop surge in Afghanistan too. I certainly hope that 2009 does not see a tragedy like 9/11 due to the arrogance of Obama's ideologues combined with a commitment to the errors of previous administrations
