New Bush outrage against US women!
It is astonishing how little attention has been made to the “fact manipulation” that the Bush administration has conducted. The manipulation ranges from “cleansing” the official government web sites (including that of the CDC regarding AIDS prevention), to editing reports from a variety of governmental bodies for the purpose of keeping any information that contradicts their agenda from the people.

TODAY's HORROR:

U.S. Deletes, Alters Gender Issue Web Data -Report - The Bush administration has stripped information on a range of women's issues from government Web sites, apparently in pursuit of a political agenda, researchers reported on Wednesday. - "Vital information is being deleted, buried, distorted and has otherwise gone missing from government Web sites and publications," Linda Basch, president of the National Council for Research on Women, said in a telephone interview. - "Taken cumulatively, this has an enormously negative effect on women and girls." - A council report said the missing information fell into four categories: women's health; their economic status; objective scientific data; and information aimed at protecting women and girls and helping them advance. -

2. As a woman, I wouldn't even consider info on a government site.
I think most women have already heard the word... we know the administration is no friend to women.

Whatever "information" happens to be on a government website these days is pretty much ipso facto suspect information. Most European nations have more accurate research information, data, and statistics on women's health issues. Women's organizations have the facts about women's economic status in the U.S. I don't know why any woman would even think about going to a government website for information in the first place unless that's what comes up at the top of the google list.

3. God, these Bushevik Scum are so Fucking Soviet/Nazi
They react to ALL truth the same way:

Lies and Scrubbing

I hate them FOR THE SAME REASONS I disliked the Soviets, and Ferdinand Marcos.

Lousy lying no good, intelligence-insulting, fraudulent, cronyist, phony fakers!

Yep. Busheviks = Bolsheviks.

8. Sorry. It's just that I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
Living in the Bushevik-Occupied New Soviet Union is getting me down.

I want my Free America back!

:grr: :grr: :mad:

I am sick of Orwellian Lies. You know, lies are one thing. It is true that ALL politicians tell lies. I can accept it, even if I don't like it.

But Orwellian Lies, Bushevik 1 + 1 = 3 Soviet Orwell-spinning-in-his-grave-he-was-17-years-too-early TOTAL SCRUBBED LIES cheese me off.

:mad: :mad: :grr: :mad:

Sorry. This particular Orwellian Lie just caught me at a bad time, and I guess I wouldn't make a good New Soviet Citizen like so many of the rest of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika.

12. tom, breath deeply and slowly
I may have to send you a speed bag to work on for moments like this! (love ya kid, but pace yourself lest you have a stroke!)

In regards to your dislikes: I have long maintained that Capitalism will fall for the exact same reason Communism fell: human nature and the inability for a certain percentage of any human population to avoid the tendency to let greed become the driving force in their lives.

And I would like to sit all the fundie xtians down and 'splain to them that Jesus was a socialist. Sadly, I do not have a long enough time to live for that to be an option.

7. Neocon agenda aside
I am getting bloody tired of bush* using the pResidency to work out his issues with the deep hatred and resentment he demonstrates toward his parents. Make war bigger than Poppy did and harbor serious misogynist feelings because Babs was such a ...... Sure, that'll show 'em!

Yes, they were probably pretty weak in the unconditional love area and we can safely guess they compensated by not making little george ever take responsibility for his actions or lack of actions, but jeeze, take it up in therapy and leave the rest of us out of it! Lots of us had toxic parents yet we manage to be productive, responsible citizens.

10. Well said, havocmom
But see, the one thing that makes these little Fauntleroys like Emperor Bunnypants* inhuman is that he has never had to confront his neuroses or consequences as a result. So instead of getting better, they became psychoses.

14. Yes, and to address the issues which arise when spoiled brats
with deep emotional problems get promoted by their peers to lead governments, I do think there is one change to the Constitution we should consider. Strongly feel there is a need for some provision for outside evaluation of whomever sits in the Oval Office should there be reasonable doubt they are mentally proficient enough to hold office.

And I really hope the military has a firm enough grasp of the situation that the briefcase toted around for the CIC has nothing in it but tinker toys!

9. Frickin' amazing
This is why some people get so testy in other threads when people say they have a reasonable problem not voting or voting Nader.

We are at the edge of a huge cliff.

I hope people wake up.

I hope we can reasonable criticism and turn it into activism instead of just dividing our hopes further.

I hope and work ...
