Letter From The Birmingham City Jail

How can we grasp the main ideas of Martin Luther King? And how can we begin to apply these ideas to the problems facing us and all people in the world today?

Go HERE to read the original first version of the letter written by King alone, over a period of a few days, apparently without notes, while he was held prisoner in the Birmingham City Jail on charges related to his activities in organizing an economic boycott in support of racial desegregation. A prestigious group of mainstream religious leaders had published a severe criticism of him and his methods, and King was highly motivated to respond.

In this letter he presents twelve of his most important concepts, and he summarizes each of them in a few well-chosen words. Go HERE for the summary.

Bush's legacy: The president who cried wolf

Countdown with keith Olbermann

Cheney is the one who should be impeached!

This man is the most dangerous person in this country because of his power and influence on the president. He loves war and what it can bring to him and his cronies.

Of course, he only wants to appear on Fox News (Full Time Lies), because they will let him get away with his rhetoric!

A Criminal Escalation of An Unjust War

The following is a portion of Jim Wallis' entry in today's God's Politics blog:

The war in Iraq was unjust; to continue it now is criminal. There is no winning in Iraq. This was a war that should have never been fought – or won. It can't be won, and the truth is that there are no good solutions now – that's how unjust wars often turn out. The president says that "failure in Iraq would be a disaster for the United States." But we have already failed in Iraq and it has already become a disaster for Americans, Iraqis, the Middle East, and even for the larger campaign against terrorism. The mistaken war in Iraq can only be mercifully ended, in ways that cause the least damage to everyone involved: the Americans and the Iraqis, the volatile surrounding region, and a world longing for security. It will likely take new international leadership to help fix the mess of Iraq, because U.S. leadership has brought one calamity after another. Unjust wars cause massive human suffering. When will we ever learn?

The Real War Plan

Are we paying attention to what really may be happening with Bush's idiotic plans? Read THIS ARTICLE and then tell me what does not make sense of it in light of who is really in charge of this administration; namely neoconservatives who are in bed with Israel!
