Rather than submit disputes to international arbitration or have United Nations peace-keepers get involved, Bush, like his father before him and presidents Nixon and Johnson, the Viet Nam war-makers, prefers to take international law into his own hands.

How often have we been told that when fascism comes to the USA it will be wrapped in the American flag and spouting patriotic slogans and speeches? I don't want to suggest that that day is near.

All-too frequently I encounter activists who don’t like to talk about money. While they crusade loudly for “economic justice”, they resist talking about their own relationship with money as if it were somehow an X-rated topic on par with sexuality or bathroom habits.

The communist idea requires its adherents to analyze, understand and participate in class struggle as it is, not as they wish it could be. This is the spirit of thought and practice that should frame our understanding of the current battles between Congress and the Bush administration.

Do you ever wish you had a magic wand that you could wave and make everything all-right? Get your boss off your back. Fix your debts. Pay the rent. Have enough money for gas, food, health insurance, and shoes for the kids?

The last time Congress was controlled by the party in opposition to the White House, we all learned more than we cared to know about the uses of cigars. This time the need for investigations is much more serious. Congress could probably spend three decades profitably examining the last six years of the Bush administration.

What strange liberators we must look like to the Iraqi people and the world.  While families in this country grieve over the loss of close to 3100 troops and the more than 48,000 wounded soldiers in V.A. hospitals across the country, the Iraqi people have paid a higher price in the total number of lives lost and broken in conflict with the United States.

It's an honor to be part of this obviously growing movement for peace and justice.  Our president took us into war before Congress gave its so-called authorization.  He did so without telling Congress or the American people and without Congress appropriating any funds for the purpose.

In 1961, the author William J. Lederer published his book A Nation of Sheep. One of its basic points was how the American people tended to follow and believe whatever the government and an uncritical press dished out to them.

This country has learned to be afraid... of Dick Cheney. The number one reason a significant minority of Americans still hesitates to get behind impeachment of Bush is fear of Dick Cheney. This will remain the case even should Cheney die, I am convinced. Certainly it remains the case no matter how many times I explain the following six reasons why it's INSANE, but I'm going to try one more time.

The concerns of most Americans who find it harder and harder to make ends meet, and who want to bring our troops home from Iraq, were ignored by George W. Bush in his State of the Union address.

[Last night's] State of the Union address began on a high note, with George W. Bush acknowledging that he was the first United States president to begin his speech with the words "Madam Speaker." As I watched Speaker Nancy Pelosi call the proceedings to order and sit to the president's left, it was a particular pleasure to point out to my 6th grade daughter that this was the first State of the Union in the country's history with a woman in the picture.

There was an interesting article in the Metro Section of last Monday’s New York Times (1-15-07) named "Friends in Iran Make for Discord at Home" written by Fernanda Santos. The article is about Neturei Karta an anti-Zionist group of Orthodox Jews and the response of the pro-Zionist community to this organization.

The Bush Administration announced yesterday it will abandon the warrantless surveillance program operated by the National Security Agency (NSA), Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

By any serious standard of journalism, impeachment should be in the news right now.  This illustrates the worst problem with our media.  It's not how they cover stories.  It's how they do not cover stories. 

There is a decent chance that within the next month or two the New Mexico State Legislature will ask the U.S. House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

As some people learned from the minimal and abusive media coverage, on December 8, 2006, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney introduced Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush, making him the 10th president of the United States to face such action.

Independent journalist Sarah Olson still has to decide whether to testify in a court martial against one of her sources, but now she will have another month in which to make that decision, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

Organized labor’s successful mobilization that retook Congress in 2006 is the first step in a multi-year plan to restore primacy of progressive political forces and ideas in the U.S., AFL-CIO Political Director Karen Ackerman says.

The impeachment of President Bush has become an important issue. For some people on the left impeachment has even become a litmus test for the "true" progressive.
