Well, any one who's not "living in a cave" has heard by now about Pat Robertson's insane ravings. We always knew he was a "nut-job", but it now seems that he is a STARK RAVING LUNATIC!! Where does the Bible say: "Thou shall not kill; unless you kill Muslims, Communists, or elected officials of South American countries"??? Maybe it reads: "Thou shall not kill, unless you have "special-Forces" or "Covert-ops" agents do it". Is it not ILLEGAL to use the public-airways to advocate the murder and overthrow of a legally-elected government official??? We will probably NOT see F.C.C. sanctions against Robertson; as the F.C.C. is over-seen and controlled by Colin Powell's son and the Republican Party. An item which has gone largely un-reported, is a story on the B.B.C. ; it seems that an employee of Halliburton/ K.B.R. is now being indicted for taking more than $110,000 in bribes from Iraqi officials. It has also been reported on the Knight-Ridder news agency, that the "interim president" of Iraq has told stories of "millions of dollars in cash" being carried out of Iraq; money that was paid by America to "rebuild" the country, and to "establish democracy"!! It is no secret, that anarchy and civil-war are VERY lucrative for the "Military-Industrial-Complex" and the purveyors of weapons, such as The Carlisle Group. The "Contractors", such as Halliburton, G.E., and Bechtel also expect to make BILLIONS in "no-bid" contracts... These same corporations who, so lavishly donate to the Republican Party. I heard today, that the "average" cost of conducting a Senate re-election campaign is $10,000 PER DAY!!!! Is it any wonder that greed, corruption, and the concept of "You gotta "go along, to "get along"... is so prevalent in what is SUPPOSED TO BE a "democracy"! Such exhorbitant campaign funding costs GUARANTEE that the "average" voter's opinions MEAN NOTHING!!! The "Buying and selling" of our "Democracy" would make the "Founding-Fathers" turn-over-in-their-graves!!.... Meanwhile "Neo-Con" operatives have mounted a "smear" campaign against the anti-war protestors gathering in Crawford Texas. In typical Republican/Neo-Con style they LIE, insinuate, fabricate, distort, and invent ANYTHING which will "dis-credit" the Cindy Sheehan and the protestors. The "Talking-Heads" have carefully rehearsed their "Bullet-Points"; attempting to rally the "Faithful". Such tactics are not only shameful, but truly disgusting attacks on greiving, patriotic Americans who have REAL doubts about the war and the lies which brought it about. One Neo-Con asshole went so far as to drive his pickup over the row of crosses, erected to memorialize the victims of "Bush's Folly". It is NO coincidence that Crawford Texas is a "stone's throw" from the town of Waco (Whacko), and the religous-fanatic David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. Is there something in the water there... something that breeds fanatical, lunatics?? Regarding Pat Robertson, I urge EVERYONE who reads this, to contact their "elected-officials" to end the "700 Club"'s right to broadcast a "call-to-murder".. "Pull the plug" on this LUNATIC, RELIGOUS-FANATIC!!! Demand the F.C.C. TAKE ACTION NOW!! (are we more "offended" by Janet Jackson's breast? than having Pat Robertson endorse asasination?).................Dave
