2004: THINGS TO FORGET By Arianna Huffington While so many year-end publications focus on what we should remember about the year now grinding to a close, I'd like to continue this column's contrarian tradition of pointing out the things we'd all be better off never having cross our minds again. Here then is a list of all the things I'd like to forget, circa 2004: Bernard Kerik's nanny. Bernard Kerik's Ground Zero love nest. Bernard Kerik. That the woman who dismissed a presidential briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." as a "historical" document is going to be our next secretary of state. That a man who finds the Geneva Conventions "quaint" is going to be our next attorney general. Janet Jackson's briefly exposed right boob. That it took 14 months and public protests from the victims' families before the president OK'd the 9/11 Commission, but only two weeks before the first hearings were held on Janet Jackson's boob. That the media thought "Don't be economic girlie men" was a great line. Scott Peterson's love of golf. And that his lawyers thought it was a reason he shouldn't be sentenced to death. Paris Hilton's new perfume. Paris Hilton's new album. Paris Hilton's new book. Paris Hilton. "Surviving Christmas," "Jersey Girl," J-Lo: Ben Affleck goes 0-for-2004. Madrid, Spain, March 11, 2004. Beslan, Russia, Sept. 3, 2004. That the Federal budget deficit hit $413 billion this year, and two-thirds of it is the result of Bush's tax cuts. That Dick Cheney is talking about another round of tax cuts. What Colin Powell did to his credibility. "You break it, you live with it for the rest of your life." "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." That picture of Lynndie England holding the leash. The way the administration tried to sweep Abu Ghraib under the rug. William Hung, recording artist. Ashlee Simpson, lip synch artist. Bob Dylan, lingerie salesman. That George Tenet, who knew that the intel on Iraqi WMD was thinner than Lara Flynn Boyle on Dexatrim, turned into the Dick Vitale of WMD: "It's a slam dunk, baby!" That George Tenet was subsequently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. That a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich allegedly bearing the likeness of the Virgin Mary sold for $28,000 on eBay. The 10,000 Web remixes incorporating The Dean Scream. That of the roughly 550 enemy combatants held captive in Guantanamo Bay, only four have been formally charged. The Pistons/Pacers basketbrawl. The looks on George and Laura Bush's faces when Dr. Phil asked them about the "epidemic levels of oral sex" in America's middle schools. That Osama is still on the loose — and releasing tapes. That the Kyoto Protocol was ratified — and we aren't part of it. That Ken Lay has still not gone to trial or served a minute in jail. That 35.9 million Americans live below the poverty line — 12.9 million of them children. That 42 percent of Americans still think Saddam Hussein was "directly involved in planning, financing or carrying out" the 9/11 attacks. That, thanks to presidential cutbacks, we actually have fewer police and first responders on the streets today than we had on 9/11. Star Jones' wedding. The Movie Multiplex from Hell: "Alexander," "My Baby's Daddy," "Thunderbirds," "Sleepover," "Around the World in 80 Days." The iPod Party Mix from Hell: Jessica Simpson's "Take My Breath Away," William Hung's "She Bangs," Britney Spears' "Toxic," Britney Spears' "My Prerogative," Britney Spears' "I've Just Begun Having My Fun." That Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld couldn't find time to personally sign letters of condolence to the families of troops killed in Iraq. That Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz couldn't remember the number of soldiers who'd lost their lives in Iraq.

		Dear Friend, The year is almost over but our work is not. I'm writing to ask for your financial support to ensure we can do what's needed in 2005. Next month George Bush will be inaugurated for his second term and the new Congress will convene. We know the President and many leaders in Congress will be moving forward with policies that violate our civil liberties, like making permanent privacy-stealing provisions of the Patriot Act...continued spying by the FBI on religious and political groups...a Constitutional amendment to restrict the rights of gay and lesbian Americans...and more. While powerful politicians in Washington are sending us the message that it's time to surrender our freedom, at the ACLU we are proclaiming exactly the opposite: It's time to STAND UP for liberty, equality, and justice. That is why we started the "Refuse to Surrender Your Freedom" campaign. More than 65,000 people have signed the "Refuse to Surrender" pledge so far. Your active participation has meant a great deal to our work. Now I'm writing to ask you to take the next step and join the ACLU. Your membership will support crucial upcoming work to defend your civil liberties and those of everyone across America. We need to raise $250,000 from friends like you by the end of the year to ensure that we have the resources to face the immediate challenges ahead. Stand up for liberty - join the ACLU today. Just click here. Your freedoms -- our freedoms -- depend on it. Sincerely, Anthony D. Romero Executive Director P.S. If you haven't already signed our "I Refuse to Surrender My Freedom" pledge, just click here to do it now.

History will prove that this past election was stolen

Our people have not taken to the streets.

We are slow in getting to the recounting.

Bush had enough of a margin of real votes

to pull off the theft of the election 2004.

How the Democrats can change
A longtime Republican who switched parties because of George W. Bush offers the DNC some practical advice from the grass roots.
By Theodora D. Goodson

 "Democrats should not fall into the trap of trying to "heal the country" by going along with Bush in his second term. That will finish the party for good, and anyway, it's not statesmanlike. Be firm with wavering Democrats whom Bush might bribe, subvert or suborn on this or that issue. It may take a while, but Democrats have to be the loyal opposition, and that does mean opposition ..."

"The nation is fast becoming a totalitarian, one-party state (American style), and we worker bees do have lots more to say on the subject. "

lies and deceit since 1998 , read:

TODAY IN HISTORY

1998 President Clinton impeached After nearly 14 hours of debate, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. Clinton, the second president in American history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term. In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern. Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual encounters in the White House. In April 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon. That summer, she first confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her sexual relationship with the president. In 1997, with the relationship over, Tripp began secretly to record conversations with Lewinsky, in which Lewinsky gave Tripp details about the affair. In December, lawyers for Paula Jones, who was suing the president on sexual harassment charges, subpoenaed Lewinsky. In January 1998, allegedly under the recommendation of the president, Lewinsky filed an affidavit in which she denied ever having had a sexual relationship with him. Five days later, Tripp contacted the office of Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater independent counsel, to talk about Lewinsky and the tapes she made of their conversations. Tripp, wired by FBI agents working with Starr, met with Lewinsky again, and on January 16, Lewinsky was taken by FBI agents and U.S. attorneys to a hotel room where she was questioned and offered immunity if she cooperated with the prosecution. A few days later, the story broke, and Clinton publicly denied the allegations, saying, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky." In late July, lawyers for Lewinsky and Starr worked out a full-immunity agreement covering both Lewinsky and her parents, all of whom Starr had threatened with prosecution. On August 6, Lewinsky appeared before the grand jury to begin her testimony, and on August 17 President Clinton testified. Contrary to his testimony in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case, President Clinton acknowledged to prosecutors from the office of the independent counsel that he had had an extramarital affair with Ms. Lewinsky. In four hours of closed-door testimony, conducted in the Map Room of the White House, Clinton spoke live via closed-circuit television to a grand jury in a nearby federal courthouse. He was the first sitting president ever to testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct. That evening, President Clinton also gave a four-minute televised address to the nation in which he admitted he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky. In the brief speech, which was wrought with legalisms, the word "sex" was never spoken, and the word "regret" was used only in reference to his admission that he misled the public and his family. Less than a month later, on September 9, Kenneth Starr submitted his report and 18 boxes of supporting documents to the House of Representatives. Released to the public two days later, the Starr Report outlined a case for impeaching Clinton on 11 grounds, including perjury, obstruction of justice, witness-tampering, and abuse of power, and also provided explicit details of the sexual relationship between the president and Ms. Lewinsky. On October 8, the House authorized a wide-ranging impeachment inquiry, and on December 11, the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment. On December 19, the House impeached Clinton. On January 7, 1999, in a congressional procedure not seen since the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, the trial of President Clinton got underway in the Senate. As instructed in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (William Rehnquist at this time) was sworn in to preside, and the senators were sworn in as jurors. Five weeks later, on February 12, the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. The president was acquitted on both articles of impeachment. The prosecution needed a two-thirds majority to convict but failed to achieve even a bare majority. Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 45 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted "not guilty," and on the charge of obstruction of justice the Senate was split 50-50. After the trial concluded, President Clinton said he was "profoundly sorry" for the burden his behavior imposed on Congress and the American people.

ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
Laughing Off Victims

Knight-Ridder reports Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli and President Bush took turns bashing trial lawyers to waves of audience laughter at the White House economic summit yesterday. Nardelli said, "What you have today is business on one side, and you've got the trial lawyers on the other side. You've got deep pockets colliding with shallow principles." But if you ask scores of ordinary American shoppers and workers killed or maimed at Home Depot – or hurt by poisonous Home Depot products - they might not think bashing people's legal rights and refusing to protect innocent victims is so funny. As the Atlanta Business Chronicle has reported, Home Depot reported 185 customer injuries a week in 1998 and has since refused media inquiries into its safety record. The company also uses its vast legal team to bully victims into signing confidentiality agreements about their injuries. The federal government "has recorded nine worker deaths in the past four years at Home Depot stores" and, in 2002, recorded a "45 percent jump" in workplace safety violations. In one high-profile accident, NASA astronaut Jean-Loup Chretien's shoulder was crushed when a 68-pound drill press fell on him from more than 10 feet up – ending his career. Because Home Depot refuses to take adequate safety precautions, "They are creating canyons of death and injury and inviting customers to walk down them," said one attorney representing families of victims. According to that attorney, the company has made a management decision that it is cheaper to pay claims to injured customers than pay for the necessary safety changes. Read the full expose in the Atlanta Business Journal.

From the DNC:

With their victories in November, Republicans not only extended their control over the White House, but aggressively expanded their hold over both the Senate and the House of Representatives. As a result, the Washington Republicans are now in the best position they have ever been to pursue and put in place their extremist agenda -- an agenda that will place the needs of the special interests over the desires of the average American for a government that creates opportunity, fairness, and security.

Here are a few of the ways they're planning to threaten our basic rights:

• Shifting the tax burden to working families. They'll call it "reform," but they've got only one thing in mind: shifting the tax burden from the wealthiest Americans onto the backs of the lower- and middle-class taxpayers. They're already floating ideas like a national sales tax that will make average families pay more.
• Undermining Social Security. The Bush administration is gearing up to reintroduce its disastrous plan to undermine the retirement security of every single American. Their plan ensures a guaranteed benefit cut for all Americans and creates a new debt of one trillion dollars for our children and grandchildren.
• Packing the Supreme Court with extremists. This is the greatest danger to our fundamental constitutional rights that will affect all our lives for decades to come. A Supreme Court retirement could come at any moment, and three or more justices could retire over the course of Bush's term. If Bush nominates extremist judges to the nation's highest court for lifetime appointments -- as he has done with the lower courts -- all the rights we hold dear will be at risk.

The Democratic Party will be there to fight all of these battles. And we're depending on your help to win them. It is up to us to protect our values from the Republicans' attacks. They want to take a narrow election victory and cast it into a broad mandate for an extreme agenda.

In the coming weeks and months, we'll be telling you about what we're doing to win these fights, and how you are the key to helping us win.

Thank you,

A Campaign For Balance At Sinclair

Media Matters and a coalition of progressive groups have launched Sinclairaction.com, a campaign to protest Sinclair Broadcasting's "continued misuse of public airwaves." The campaign aims to spur action against the company's use of television stations to "systematically promote partisan political interests," especially on a nightly "news and commentary" segment, entitled, "The Point," in which Sinclair vice president Mark Hyman "espouses one-sided, conservative rhetoric without any counterpoint." In a letter to Sinclair chairman David D. Smith, the coalition asks the station to present a counterpoint to Hyman's conservative views. In a separate letter, the coalition asks advertisers to encourage Sinclair to balance the content of its news programming, by offering equal air time for a counterpoint. You can help by contacting Sinclair's advertisers here. For more background on Sinclair, check out these Progress Reports.

The only majority held by the Repuglican party is those who would cheat in order to steal another election!  I repeat, "moral values my ass." There is nothing moral in those who would disenfranchise thousands of voters in order to effect a win for their candidate!  If the Democrats, the Greens, and the Libertarians don't scream "foul" loud enough, this country can look forward to the "Nazi" like Repuglican (tongue in cheek) majority for years to come!  

CENSORSHIP--get used to it, as long as George Bush sits perched in the Oval Office.  Radical fundamentalists are running things.  When Michael Powell, directed by a single group of fundamentalists, is allowed to censor expression and trample the freedom of the press, decency in America has indeed been compromised.  "Liberal media" is nothing more than a myth perpetrated by those who wish to annihilate the voices of the majority.  We are being held hostage by fundamentalists who would dictate what is acceptable. Their aim is to force their beliefs down the throats of this entire country!

 Me? heathen, what are you?

There are more of us heathens out there than you might guess. According to the Pluralism Project at Harvard, which tracks religious diversity in the United States, the number of people with no religious affiliation has grown sharply over the past decade, to as many as 39 million. That is about twice the number of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Episcopalians combined.

Instead of banding together, maybe we unbelievers should set an example by going in the opposite direction. We should renounce all "isms" - that claim to speak for our most profound personal beliefs. Or rather, since we seem to be headed in this direction anyway, each unbeliever could create his or her personal ism, perhaps with its own name. Since Universism is taken, I'll call mine "Horganism." You can revile it, admire it, or ignore it, but you can't join it.

The Next DNC Chair: Why You Should Care

"God Is With Us": Hitler's Rhetoric and the Lure of "Moral Values" by
Maureen Farrell

VALUES
The Moral Minority

Yesterday on Meet the Press, Reverend Jerry Falwell reaffirmed the Christian Right's narrow focus on two issues: gay marriage and abortion. Asked by progressive religious leader Jim Wallis to engage in a "broader and deeper" conversation about values, Falwell and fellow conservative preacher Dr. Richard Land resorted to bigotry and misdirection, lashing out against gays, women and religious progressives. Falwell's priorities fly in the face of the "moral values" most often cited (though not most often reported) on Nov. 2, where polls showed voters were more concerned with "greed and materialism" (33 percent) and "poverty and economic justice" (31 percent) than they were with issues like gay marriage (12 percent). Nevertheless, Christian conservatives around the country are following Falwell's lead, dismissing concerns about separation of church and state and setting out to refashion the federal courts around a narrow agenda which conflicts with the values of most Americans.

FALWELL DEMEANS RELIGIOUS PROGRESSIVES: Falwell went out of his way on Sunday to divide America, saying those who voted for John Kerry did not "take the bible seriously." Wallis shot back, saying, "Jerry, there are millions and millions of Christians who want the nation to know that you don't speak for them...that Jesus, our Jesus isn't pro-rich, pro-war and only pro-American. We don't find that Jesus anywhere in the Bible."

FALWELL REAFFIRMS BLAME FOR 9/11 ON GAYS, FEMINISTS: Falwell refused to back down from his comment that 9/11 had been caused by "the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and lesbians [and] all of them who have tried to secularize America." He reiterated that, "when we defy the Lord, I think we pay a price for it."

FALWELL FLIP-FLOPS ON GOD, WAR: Falwell contradicted himself on the war in Iraq, cited by 42 percent of respondents as the moral issue which most influenced their vote on Nov. 2. When Rev. Wallis asked him why he had said God was "pro-war," Falwell said, "I don't believe God loves war…everybody hates war." The name of Falwell's 1/31/04 commentary? "God is Pro-War."

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON CIVIL RIGHTS: Falwell and Land tried to cast their anti-abortion crusade as similar to the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. But Al Sharpton reminded Land it was his own church that fought against King. "What [King] did was fought against the Southern conservative values of those days," said Sharpton. "He fought the Southern Convention that you represent. Dr. King fought that convention. Let's not rewrite history." Wallis added that King had served as a model of how religion and values could play a part in political life: "He reminded us of this wonderful vision of a beloved community where no one gets left out and those who are always left out have a front-row seat."

RELIGIOUS RIGHT SETS AFTER COURTS: The Palm Beach Post's George McEvoy reports Congressmen pandering to the Christian right wing are planning ways to strip federal courts of "their right to hear cases involving the separation of church and state." Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN), addressing a special legislative briefing of the Christian Coalition last month in Washington, said he planned to introduce a bill that would "deny federal courts the right to hear cases challenging the Defense of Marriage Act, which bans same-sex marriage." Unimpressed by America's system of checks and balances, Hostettler inveighed, "When the courts make unconstitutional decisions, we should not enforce them. Federal courts have no army or navy...At the end of the day, we're saying the court can't enforce its opinions." Rep. Robert Aderholdt (R-AL), recently advocated "court stripping as a means to protect state-sponsored Ten Commandment displays."

KENNEDY WARNS BUSH: Another conservative religious leader, Dr. James Kennedy, whose sermons are broadcast in 3 million homes, has warned that God will "be angry" if President Bush does not act soon on abortion and gay marriage. "He said he knows of no timetable for God's wrath, but wants results fast." Asked about the millions of Americans who are not Christian, or have a different interpretation of Christianity, Kennedy recommended they "repent" and said he "couldn't care less" about their views.

We are becoming exactly what the Pilgrims came here to escape---an imperialistic theocracy! They came to the New World in order to be free of bigotry, bias, a single religion rule, and free of allegiance to a one person government. If we are to maintain Democracy, we are going to have to work on ridding this nation of those (George Bush and the Repuglicans) who would dictate a single party rule and isolate our religious beliefs. We must remember the forefathers envisioned a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We must never accept anything less!
