What Howard Dean Said
Almost 4 Years Ago

When Congress approved the President’s authorization to go to war in Iraq – no matter how well-intentioned – it was giving the green light to the President to set his Doctrine of preemptive war in motion. It now appears that Iraq was just the first step. Already, the Bush dministration is apparently eyeing Syria and Iran as the next countries on its target list. Too much is at stake. We have taken decades of consensus on the conduct of foreign policy – bipartisan consensus in the United States and consensus among our allies in the world community – and turned it on its head. It could well take decades to repair the damage this President and his cohort of right-wing ideological advisors have done to our standing in the international community.
Howard Dean, April 17, 2003

Hillsborough County Commissioners in developers' back pockets

In an appallingly arrogant move, the commissioners ripped out whole chapters from the citizens' 3-year planning project, at a meeting with no public notice and no public comment, weeks before the public hearing. Commissioners Hagan and Blair didn't seem to know or care that all our community plans were in the "Livable Communities Element" as they moved to eliminate that whole 164-page section......more

Cornel West on:
"What It Means to Be a Leftist in the 21st Century"

What does it really mean to be a leftist in the early part of the 21st century? What are we really talking about? And I can just be very candid with you. It means to have a certain kind of temperament, to make certain kinds of political and ethical choices, and to exercise certain analytical focuses in targeting on the catastrophic and the monstrous, the scandalous, the traumatic, that are often hidden and concealed in the deodorized and manicured discourses of the mainstream. That's what it means to be a leftist. So let's just be clear about it......more

Why are we at war with Cuba?

Because they are communist. Well, China is communist and we trade with them (China even has most favored nation trading status, and until after Nixon went there we wouldn't even recognize them as the legitimate government). We trade with Vietnam and most other communist countries (what's left of 'em). We even traded with the Soviet Union back when they were our sworn enemy.......more
