I met and spoke with Josh Wolf at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. He was there with the Prometheus Radio project giving a presentation hosted by Democracy Matters.
It's ridiculous what happened to him. He strikes me as being kind of a snotty punk anarchist kid-- which he is. But he's still right about what he has to say on the matters of his being detained for journalism. His case was a landmark decision for 1st amendment rights.
-
The checks and balances have been eroded away to there last thread and the bush administration is continuing to work feverishly on passing amendments that cover the acts done during their administrative time in power and they are trying to do so before the end of their term. I think it is important to keep in mind that a president can be impeached even after his period in office and while most people see efforts to do so as a waste (being that he is no longer in a position to make decisions, so why worry) the truth of the matter is that it is necessary to set a precedent that it is not ok to overtly abuse the power of the presidency as well as restraining the reallocation of power the bush administration has delegated to other areas that now lie outside of governmental oversight.

The Bush administration is looting our treasury and our country with able assistance from the leaders on the Hill. Leaders of both parties. Don't lay this on Bush without Reid and Pelosi taking equal responsibility.

nobamajon you sound like a 12 year old. And, you might Hate Ashbury, but most people spell it Haight Ashbury. Your 60's frustrations are showing.

You are right about Reid and Pelosi Paratus, the dems have let us down miserably by not impeaching the criminals in the whitehouse. They have let president be set that will only be expanded on one day just as Bush Sr. and Jr. have expanded on the behavior of the pardoned Nixon.
Rove has copied Hitler, Stalin, and other fascists, who will copy Rove?

Here's the Naomi Wolf interview I referred to. Also one of her best sellers was The Beauty Myth. Looks like she might be a Hypocrite as well as a Wacko, Best Selling Author, Feminist, Rhodes Scholar, as well as a born and breed San Franciscan. She's been a busy little Lib. But still, insighting panic to sell a book is BULLSHIT!!!!!And here is one of her book reviews.Promiscuities
Promiscuities reports on and analyzes the shifting patterns of contemporary adolescent sexuality. Wolf claims that literature is rife with examples of male coming-of-age stories, covered autobiographically by D. H. Lawrence, Tobias Wolff, J. D. Salinger, and Ernest Hemingway, and covered misogynistically by Henry Miller, Philip Roth, and Norman Mailer. Wolf insists, however, that female accounts of adolescent sexuality have been systematically suppressed. She adduces cross-cultural material to demonstrate that women have, across history, been celebrated as more carnal than men. Wolf argues that women must reclaim the legitimacy of their own sexuality by shattering the polarization of women between virgin and whore.[20]
Promiscuities received, in general, negative reviews. The New York Times published a stinging review that characterized Wolf as a "frustratingly inept messenger: a sloppy thinker and incompetent writer. She tries in vain to pass off tired observations as radical apercus, subjective musings as generational truths, sappy suggestions as useful ideas."[21] Two days earlier, however, a different Times reviewer praised the book, writing, "Anyone--particularly anyone who, like Ms. Wolf, was born in the 1960s--will have a very hard time putting down 'Promiscuities.' Told through a series of confessions, her book is a searing and thoroughly fascinating exploration of the complex wildlife of female sexuality and desire."[22] In contrast, The Library Journal excoriated the work, writing, "Over generalization abounds as she attempts to apply the microcosmic events of this mostly white, middle-class, liberal milieu to a whole generation....There is a desperate defensiveness in the tone of this book which diminishes the force of her argument." Gusee I am not the only one who's see's hard core PMS at work????
How's that for a 12 year old uppityprogressive?????? -
Nobamajon,
Everyone has a learning curve. If you want to criticize her previous work, go do that someplace else. If you want to criticize her appearance, do that on your own time. If you would like to contribute to intelligent conversation, why don't you actually watch the movie, check the facts, and THEN comment. Sheesh!
SHEEPLE SCARE ME! -
I think she looks hot. But she has made millions telling woman not to look hot, also I can criticize what ever to phuck I want to criticize. Her coming out 40 days before an election with that moronic spiel should land her in jail. And anywhere else it would. If you want to tell someone what to do go to Mc donalds hit the driveup and go to it. But I could care less what SCARES you.

If you worry about freedom under Bush, just wait for Obama.
Ask Joe the Plumber what happen after he asked a simple question from a presidential candidate named Obama
6 democrats in government agencies made illegal searches on him and leaked the information to the press in order to destroy him.
You are so naive !!!
Did you already forget the Clinton FBI files !!!
-
That movie is so paranoid/schizo ~ we are not losing America w/ Bush ... Does anyone remember we were attacked on American soil in 2001 . But it hasnt happened again, has it? We are in more trouble and more vulnerable to being attacked again when Obama comes into office and with the people that are pulling the puppet's (O) strings . And what change is there w/ Obama ... just more of the crooked Clinton politics w/ the Clinton people he's putting in place in his administration. And what did Clinton do? Weakened our country's military enough to be attacked in 2001 after he got out of office. Then he weakened us financially in the home market such that we are now suffering the current recession/depression. We were in a recession when he left office. Gas prices were going up.
With us having such a liberal democratic majority congress now... yes we need to worry about America ... but it's not because of Bush. Socialism is something to worry about and socialism is on the liberal agenda.
Here is a quote you should really think about ~~ "We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism." Said by Nikita Khrushchev.

If America doesn't get its head out of its a**, then we deserve everything coming to us! This country needs a piece of humble pie and an enema! There is nothing wrong with providing healthcare and an education to our citizens. Its just the right and civil thing to do! These are things that will make us strong again. We need to lead by example, not by force.
-
This silly tw-t is a total capitalist. Selling her dumbass ideas for a premium price. She was married to a Clinton lackey. Keyword WAS. She makes her living off of angry disturbed Liberals who long for socialism, and closet homosexual housewives. She no more would be a socialist anymore than she would fly. But there is good money in selling people who have failed a cure all. SOCIALISM. "The EVIL Republicans are gonna take us over, could you pass me the caviar?" Her book that tells woman not to look pretty takes the cake doesn't it? Her make up is 1" deep in this video. ha ha. She should be brought up on charges for last months BS though, she is a subversive troll hag.

funny, no one is talking about whats in the film. If she's enticing paranoia then remind me what color warning we are on at the moment.

Yes, like I said paranoid ~ schizo ....

Ok, so I watched again to see if I could understand what some of you folks were reacting to when you try to tear down the messenger or call the video paranoid. I guess I understand the piece to be a realistic and studied argument for the need to protect our liberties. I have watched Wolf's lectures and read her book "The End of America" and am now reading her latest book "Give Me Liberty".
This video is a preview to a movie and doesn't include enough information to make a reasoned judgement about the premis.
Wolf was led to the subject matter by a neighbor who lived through the 2nd World War, she did extensive research and wrote the book based on her research. Its only 200 pages long and her lecture is 47 minutes.
Try to watch it with an open mind and then critique. Going off on a rant 'cause you don't want to believe that your government could do you wrong is not a way to make an analysis. The Germans believed that too. It might also be interesting to know (I discovered this recently) that Bush's grandfather Prescott was among a group on high level industrialists who tried to push this country to follow the fascist model during the FDR administration. It does work better for the financial elite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XgkeTanCGIRecent threat of Marshall Law
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaG9d_4zij8&feature=relatedThere were many factors that came together before the election that might have resulted in marshall law. American military were deployed to US soil for the first time since the civil war on October 1st. Two federal elections had been stolen and proven to be stolen, huge momentum had built for change -a turn away from from the murderous corruption of the Bush administration, the people would not have sat still for another stolen one.
Rove's IT guy, Connelly, who was the king pin in the electronic tabulation and manipulation of the national ballot count, had refused to show up for court because of Rovian threats to his family until the 11 hour when he had to testify on November 3rd.
Once the spotlight was on Connelly, McCain and Rove suddenly switched their predictions from "there will be a last minute surge at the polls and we will win this election" to McCain falling silent and Rove predicting "Obama will win".
Right wing radio was priming the public to discredit the election by creating a smoke screen with false accusations against Acorn, and claiming that if Obama looses, there will be race riots all over America.
The scene was set for chaos, it was averted by thousands of poll watchers and a court date for Connelly. There's more but I won't go on. The point is that our liberties have been endangered, and the danger is not over.
It will take the actions of ordinary citizens to regain the protections of our liberties. I for one, appreciate the work Wolf has done on the behalf of all of us.
