1.poverty and hunger are the result not of enough food, but unequal distribution of food...overthrow marxist governments who engage in food-as-warfare programs

2.Treaties are all nice and well and good, but have no teeth in practical reality...see number 1

"Gosh, were ya born stupid or did yer momma drop ya...see #2,follow link to #1

4. oil is, for the foreseeable future, the only viable energy source for most products, except nuclear...invest in safe nuclear energy...and we may be only 5% and produce 25%, but we are far more productive and produce well over 25% of the worlds goods...would you rather that China be 20% of the world population, produce 8% of the worlds goods, and also produce 53% of the worlds pollution?...shut up and go see #3, follow links

5.nuclear weapons are way cool...screw you, I like 'em

6. If you could knock an intercontinental ballistic missile out of the sky, suddenly all those billions spent on such would be available to socialist welfare programs...methinks you aren't looking at the big picture...see#3, follow the links

7.corporations ARE people, ya twit...

8.totally bogus...minorities commit an over-represented percentage of crimes because socialist whinings tell them they're special and not subject to being responsible for their actions...see#3, follow the links

9.money is a form of speech...the Supreme Court said so...shut up and either contribute to "pansiesforstalinism" or just shut up

10.the only gap between poor and rich kids is that rich kids can be educated in private schools where such inane socialist drivel as embodied in the other 9 above points is not allowed to fester and infect...vouchers, vouchers, vouchers

Good stuff!

By the way this organization is passing an email that is encouraging the filibuster of Miguel Estrada. Bullsh*t follows... (Psst. the email can be edited with your own comments)

Bush and Allies Try to Slip Right Wing Judge Through Senate
Tell Your Senators to Support a Filibuster

We all knew that with the White House and Congress in the hands of folks who'd like lifetime appointments to the federal courts to represent their narrow special interests, we'd be in for a few bad judicial nominations. We just didn't think it would be this bad, this fast. But the national focus on the possibility of America attacking Iraq seemed like the perfect time for those who would pack the courts to sneak the first one by us.

Bush and his allies in the Senate are trying to push through the confirmation of Miguel Estrada for the D.C. Court of Appeals, the second most important court in the nation. Opposition to his anti-civil liberty/pro-corporate ideology is coming from many quarters including The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, labor unions, and People for the American Way. He refused to answer even the most basic questions about his views during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, and his nomination was only able to move forward because of a party-line vote.
(Favorite unanswered question: "Can you name ONE Supreme Court ruling in the last 50 years you disagree with?")

Now fearing the gathering storm opposing his nomination, the Senate Leaders have scheduled the vote on his nomination for the same day Colin Powell will be speaking about Iraq at the United Nations. That way they hope that the media and the public will be too distracted to notice what they are doing. Don't let this happen. Click this link to send your free faxes:

And please forward this email to anyone else you know who is worried that the Judiciary might end up in the hands of right-wing extremists.

Here is the letter we'll add your name to and fax to your Senators:

Dear Senator:

I write as a constituent of yours to urge you to support a filibuster opposing the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Court of Appeals. His views on civil liberties, the power of corporations, and other important matters are too extreme for our courts.

During his nomination hearing Mr. Estrada refused to answer even the most basic questions about his judicial philosophy thus preventing the Senate from fulfilling
it's constitutional role to advise and consent. On these grounds alone you should oppose this nomination whether you agree with his apparent judicial philosophy or not.

Thank you for your consideration of this crucial matter.

Sincerely,
(We'll add your name and address here.)
