["Predictably, when Dubya was asked by the media if he would see Gore's film, he replied "Doubt it".
Bush also suggested we should "set aside whether or not greenhouse gases have been caused by mankind." The man who shouldn't be President may not care about our environment, or our future, but we do - and the man who should be President does, too:
Gore said the causes of global warming should not be ignored.
"Why should we set aside the global scientific consensus?" Gore said, his voice rising with emotion. "Is it because Exxon Mobil wants us to set it aside? Why should we set aside the conclusion of scientists in the United States, including the National Academy of Sciences, and around the world including the 11 most important national academies of science on the globe and substitute for their view the view of Exxon Mobil. Why?"] - NWProgressive.org

"If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government."
The military oath taken at the time of induction or commissioning reads:
"I,____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God"

How to Drag a Country into a War...:
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russian, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the of the country who determine the policy, and it always is a simple matter to drag the people along; whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship,...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, denounce the pacifists for lack of patroitism and exposing the country to danger."

"Let all the souls here, rest in peace, -- Inscription on Hiroshima Memorial"The VA has killed more of us since WW II than the Pentagon or any combat opponent during our various, wildly un-American Wars, NOT by design, but mostly because our WEASEL Legislators' and the dummies who put them in Office fail to realize appropriate priorities! If you are gong to require the lives of our youth for unconstitutional wars and private vendettas, you MUST accept the burdens of that requirement, or STOP REQUIRING THEIR LIVES!" - Dudley
The Platters: "Twilight Time"
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it�s twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
