The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime

Sign the call now!

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

[Paul C. Jesup]

This is the best news I have heard all day.

First you radicalize your enemies against the ruling government. Then you get them to commit violence and revolt against the ruling government. Finally, from within government you use that violence and revolt as justification to crush your enemies (liberals/socialists), their supporters (the MSM) and their ideals (socialism).

BRUCE LINCOLN, Ph.D. (University of Chicago) - Divinity School

Bruce Lincoln emphasizes critical approaches to the study of religion. He is particularly interested in issues of discourse, practice, power, conflict, and the construction of social borders. He works in the religions of pre-Christian Europe and pre-Islamic Iran, with occasional excurses into African, Melanesian, and Native American traditions. His most recent publications include Holy Terrors: Thinking about Religion after September 11 and Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship, which won the American Academy of Religion Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in 2000 and the Gordon J. Laing Prize from the University of Chicago Press in 2002.

That would be true if it was the commie scum that would be doing the shooting, however it will be more likely the commie scum giving orders to LEO/Military to do their fighting for them
