		<description>&lt;p&gt;Youtube flashback: “Rapture Ready: The Christians United for Isreal Tour”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://youtube.com/watch?v=mjMRgT5o-Ig&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=mjMRgT5o-Ig&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Max Blumenthal’s documents and End Timers convention. Tom Delay, Holy Joe Lieberman and Pastor Hagee all make appearances. Blumenthal also interviews some Christians who are positively giddy about the eventual destruction of the world.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Apropos ‘nothing’ …&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can no longer speak, honestly, of American ‘civilization’.  We may, in ‘good’ conscience, speak of American brutalization and American barbarism, however.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are ALL, now, ‘good’ Americans, just as, once, there were ‘good’ German folk …&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As America sinks ever deeper into mercenary arrogance and a profound antipathy towards human rights and moral accountability, we are in no doubt as to our essential superiority and perpetual role as God’s ‘chosen’…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, we claim to be too ‘busy’ or ‘unaware’ … and must trust our leaders to choose for us, absent any meaningful protest, what is ‘best’ …&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will also be decided for us; what is ‘permissible’, in terms of discussion, what is ‘important’ and the language which is ‘appropriate’ to use when we discuss these important, permissible and appropriate topics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The use of steroids in obscenely rewarding (for the few) spectator sports is ‘permissible’ and ‘appropriate’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But a honest discussion with our so- called ‘represenatives’ regarding ‘impeachment’is not only ‘off the table’&lt;br /&gt;
but it annoys them completely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Indeed, regardless of committee chairmanships, we may now only contact these leaders by email if we live in their district. They are closing their ears, their eyes and their minds … to us and to ANY ideas which bring them dis-comfort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The media?  The less said the better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of the world?  Who cares?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Undocumented foreigners?  Let them die in the  custody of private companies which run the ‘detention’ centers.  Who cares?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So Yoo is to speak before Congress?  All he need do is say, ’secret!’, end of discussion, end of questions, period.  Who cares?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Candidates for the ‘highest’ office in the land can destroy everyones’ hopes, but unbridled ambitiion IS America.  Who cares?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We care.  How much?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Also, your interpretation of what Wright meant about ethnic bombs is not correct. I’m sure this is what he was referring to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twf.org/News/Y1998/19981126-ArabGerm.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.twf.org/News/Y1998/.....bGerm.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course this is one of those “mad scientist” projects so beloved by the criminally insane, and it could not work the way intended because genetics and epidemiology are both way too complex. It would kill lots of people you didn’t “target,” including lots of your own, and could very well go completely out of control. One of the truly most criminal AND stupidest ideas I have ever heard of.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

     It’s not that Lieberman has “thrown out his beliefs.” It’s that his beliefs are insane. Here’s a site that reflects how most Jews really feel about Christian Zionism:&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m certainly not arguing with the fact that Rev. Wright has much to say and that, the more people who could read and objectively consider what he says, the better off we would be.  I fully understand your interest and I may read further also.  However, I know from what you’ve said previously that you think Obama’s repudiation is reprehensible.  I’m only suggesting that, to Obama and others who have put a lot into his effort, Rev. Wright’s press conference and NAACP demeanor could easily be seen as a knife in the back to their effort.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Just wanted you to know that I find your perspective and the material you use to back it up to be absolutely the ‘best’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You consistently stand for reason, tolerance and understanding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No blushing, please.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Truth is truth …&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Again, and I promise I’m not trying to be disagreeable, but bloggers such as Digby spend a lot of time trying to counter right wing media narratives. Yet, on this particular issue, they went right along with them. Why is that? Is it because, as some suspect, she’s a Hillary supporter? That’s all well and good. But as Arthur said, it is useful information to know that your favorite blogger (again, not speaking just of Digby) is a partisan Democrat first and a progressive 10th. I’d wager a lot of people didn’t realize that fact.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most important point is that these bloggers, as well as nominally liberal print and broadcast reporteres, contributed to the lying propaganda that all is well in America, and the gov’t has never done anything truly bad.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Live streaming is available from the committee website.  They also just had a short hearing to approve subpoenas for Addington and Yoo.  I definitely heard approval on the Addington subpoena.  Was anyone else listening?  Did they subpoena Yoo, also?  It was stated that Addington has said that he will appear if subpoenaed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
