BUSH'S AMERICA: ROACH MOTEL
Ann Coulter
Republicans' defense of President Bush's immigration bill
is more enraging than their defense of Harriet Miers.
Back then, Bush's conservative base was accused of being
sexist for opposing an unqualified woman's nomination to
the highest court in the land. Now we're racists for not
wanting to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

Putin’s Censored Press Conference
The transcript you weren’t supposed to see
By Mike Whitney
The Bush administration has carried out an aggressive strategy
to surround Russia with military bases, install missiles on
its borders, topple allied regimes in Central Asia, and incite
political upheaval in Moscow through US-backed “pro-democracy”
groups. These openly hostile actions have convinced many
Russian hard-liners that the administration is going forward
with the neocon plan for “regime change” in Moscow and
fragmentation of the Russian Federation. Putin’s testimony
suggests that the hardliners are probably right. Continue

Why I am Ashamed to be a U.S. Citizen
By Doug Soderstrom
I never cease to be amazed at how terribly ethnocentric
the typical American tends to be. It is almost as if having
been born in the United States confers upon one the right
to think of himself as a privileged person, a contrived sense
of status that no doubt lies at the very heart of everything
that I will discuss in this paper. Continue

Losing the Economy to Mythology
By Paul Craig Roberts
Economists are governed by the illusion that America’s post
World War II prosperity is based on free trade. It is not.
America’s post-war prosperity was based on the destruction
of the economic capability of the rest of the world by World
War II and communism/socialism. Continue

Over Hill, Over Dale: The Militarization of Culture
By Charles Sullivan
The glorification of war is nearly ubiquitous in the culture. You
see it in the vehicles we drive, aggressive behavior, excessive
national pride, flag waving, military style clothing, movies, video
games; and now—television commercials. The American consumer
is essentially becoming a piece of computer hardware programmed
to download propaganda and to execute its commands without
thinking. Continue

Understanding America’s Terrorist Crisis: What Should Be Done?
Video: Gore Vidal
Filmed before a live audience, renowned author Gore Vidal
rejects the blind “patriotism” expected by government officials
and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy
throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to
the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also

being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.
