Welcome to the Republican World of Diminished Freedoms and Fewer Unions
Author: m-hadley

Welcome to the Republican World (View)
Land of Diminished Freedoms and Fewer Unions (Happy Labor Day :P)
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:
Well, well, well, as Hurricane Gustav heads toward the Gulf Coast the GOP has decided to cancel or at least severely scale back the first night of their convention so as to avoid the split screen shots of Republican revelry juxtaposed against a flooding New Orleans – thereby recalling for all of America the complete and utter failure of the Bush/Cheney/McCain administration to address the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. This move, hailed by many political pundits as an example of compassionate conservatism, is not entirely magnanimous. It has the added benefit of cutting out the scheduled appearances of both Bush and Cheney, whose approval ratings are somewhere around the mid-20s (Bush) and under 10% for Cheney. Nice perk to be able to attribute a beneficent reason for canceling an unwelcome appearance. But that is not the only news that is dribbling out of St.Paul, Minnesota. First reported by FourFreedoms own MNRN there have been numerous pre-emptive raids on homes where groups have gathered in advance of the Republican National Convention. No-knock raids that involved M-16s and battering rams, and that involved throwing residents on the floor, handcuffing them and in some cases arresting them on trumped up charges. Glenn Greenwald, who blogs over at Salon.com, has posted an entry on this devastating violation of the Fourth Amendment:
Watch a video of one of the raids at Feministing.com.
In this land of the free – it seems that these days the words that Janis Joplin sang are even truer today “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.” (Bobby McGee, Kris Kristofferson).
In honor of Labor Day I give you this seeming non-sequitur, I give you a History of Labor Unions and Labor Law in America
And in your comments today I challenge you all to make the connections between the assault on freedoms in American today, the decreasing Union membership in this country, the eight years of Republican rule and the Hurricane that is approaching the Gulf Coast all wrapped up in a show of political theater that will take place in St. Paul, Minnesota this week under the guise of the GOP Convention. I can't wait to see what this crew comes up with - :D

The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Glenn Greenwald, who blogs over at Salon.com, has posted an entry on this devastating violation of the Fourth Amendment:
Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets. Last night, members of the St. Paul police department and the Ramsey County sheriff's department handcuffed, photographed and detained dozens of people meeting at a public venue to plan a demonstration, charging them with no crime other than "fire code violations," and early this morning, the Sheriff's department sent teams of officers into at least four Minneapolis area homes where suspected protesters were staying.
As the police attacks on protesters in Minnesota continue -- see this video of the police swarming a bus transporting members of Earth Justice, seizing the bus and leaving the group members stranded on the side of the highway -- it appears increasingly clear that it is the Federal Government that is directing this intimidation campaign. Minnesota Public Radio reported yesterday that "the searches were led by the Ramsey County Sheriff's office. Deputies coordinated searches with the Minneapolis and St. Paul police departments and the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
Watch a video of one of the raids at Feministing.com.

Hey Faye! I'm just catching up on the SMS, since I can't listen live at school. Plus, I promised the wifey I'd get some yard work in today. Looks like Gustav will put a crimp in those plans, though.

My sister lives in Gonzales, LA and is getting slammed by Gustav right now, so please send some good vibes her way (even if she IS a Republican).

Please give Raine a big Birthday hug from me :hug:
Today is my right wing brother's birthday (glad that Raine redeems the day for me), I've already called him and wished him a good day and happy year (not too happy :P)
I'll keep your sister in my thoughts today - I'm guessing that most of us have a repub somewhere in our family's attic or basement - ugh!

For the record, I personally think it's inconceivable that ANYONE would wish death and destruction on another human being.
"RALEIGH, N.C. — A former Democratic National Committee chairman has apologized for suggesting that Hurricane Gustav's expected arrival as Republicans prepare to open their national convention is a sign that God favours Democrats.
During a flight from Denver to South Carolina last Friday, Don Fowler - who was DNC chair in 1995 and 1996 - was recorded telling a fellow passenger that it appears Gustav will make landfall on Monday.
He said that just demonstrates that God is on the side of Democrats.
The person whom Fowler was talking to is not visible in the video, but was identified on the conservative Web site www.redstate.com as Representative John Spratt, a South Carolina Democrat.
Fowler told The Associated Press that he was making fun of comments made by the Rev. Jerry Falwell."
Last time I checked Don Fowler isn't a major Political Figure running for President.
And, he has apologized for his comment. He's not continuing to talk about, and run stories about what a "Great Opportunity" Gustav will be.
And, "The Truth?" Do you want the truth? The wRight doesn't want to do things differently this time. Sure, the mandatory evacuations will keep down the loss of life, so they won't have as much blood on their hands. But, they are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to give no bid contracts to their friends to continue "re-building" New Orleans into a bastion for wealthy tourists.

Anyone listening to Thom Hartmann? He is stating that the real reason the Republicans are ramping down convention activities is not Hurricane Gustav but that they are vetting Sarah Palin in light of the recent blogosphere revelations. Michael Moore has the DKos story on the prospect that the last child is Sarah's daughter and not Sarah's on the front page.

If it weren't a shotgun wedding, than she would "disappear" for a while or find a discreet place to terminate the child a la Peyton Place like back in the days when abortion was illegal.

The biggest difference is that this time Bush&Co. are protecting their own property; all the hotels and private schools that they are profiting from!
New Orleans belongs to them this time.

The idiot-in-chief (ie. Bush) is on MSNBC sayin' that the difference between Katrina and Gustav is the level of cooperation between the state governors and the federales - how about a big difference between Katrina and Gustav is that your stinkin' ass isn't on vacation playing air guitar and serving McSame a birthday cake? How 'bout that as an important difference, chimpy?

Not to mention that the current governor is an extra crispy of bucket crazy Republican who they don't want to see get kicked out of office.

Thom Hartmann's callers are on the ball. The reaction is better because they do have to protect the interests of their cronies.

Exactly. I am not listening to Thom and haven't read the news about Gustav. You only have to have seen what happened after Katrina to know why the response is better this time.

Random Update
So another update, and I have listed a prize, and would like you're opinion on if the prize is good enough, or what.

The Truth is: The Truth is a sock-puppet for Midnight Rider aka Georgia Trooper.
Nothing to see here. Please don't feed the trolls... move along now...

The Truth. That is an inspired name...Even more so than my own.
