Tom Brokaw coined the phrase “the Greatest Generation” for those Americans who lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and who went on to fight, kill and die in World War II. You have to ask yourself why a key spokesman for the established government-friendly (to say the least) mainstream media would hold these Americans in such high regard.

The great George Carlin once said, 'I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.'
I couldn't agree more! When these two groups of proponents of bad ideas get together for a common goal, the end result is the Dark Ages. When American revolutionaries...

In Osama bin Laden's most recent message to the American people, he clearly demonstrates that he knows much more about the real workings of American government and politics than the average voting American. Most people who waste their time voting sincerely believe that their vote matters and will make a difference. They don't realize that the politicians do not have to answer to...

Recently, strike-the-root.com linked to an article by former President Jimmy Carter (a sincere, born-again Christian) called 'The Words of God Do Not Justify Cruelty to Women,' which deplores the abusive and unreasonable treatment of women by 'revealed' religions. The title of his article was the same as that of the link on STR . This title assumes too much.

The powers that be that run and benefit from this hypocritical and corrupt government can be seen as the shepherds, and the masses of people can be seen as the sheep. And as the French writer Marie-Henri Beyle wrote, 'The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interest and his own are the same.' Of course, the shepherd really only wants to take...

Priorities are very important. In the history books we've seen that men like George Washington had priorities of leading a violent revolution against the government. This priority of Washington's took precedent over his own family, income and being. By today's standards, Washington was a nut case!

Israel and the US are conspiring to undercut the democratic will of the Palestinian people by forcing Hamas, the choice of the people, out of their legally elected position of political power. The US plutocrats spent $42,000,000 taxpayer dollars to support the opponents of Hamas! This is only one example of the US government doing Israel's anti-democratic...

Politicians enjoy misleading the sheeple by pretending they believe in freedom. The Arkansas legislature recently made it crystal clear that this is just a song and dance routine intended to be limited to only election and reelection speeches when they voted against honoring Thomas Paine by making January 29th Thomas Paine Day.

Last night the Presidential moron inadvertently showed how little he and his buffoons in Congress think and care about people in general and US military people in particular. Boy George said in his 2007 State of the Union speech concerning the soon to be four year old war in Iraq, 'We went into this largely united, in our assumptions and in our convictions...

Leo Strauss, the founding father of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)-based neoconservative movement, is too often talked about and written about as being some sort of intelligent, profound philosopher and thinker. The reality of it is that Strauss was a man who actually took the myths and lies found in the Hebrew Bible as factual. Only a non-thinker could do...

Veterans Day will never be the same for him....

The criminals that take up space in Congress and the White House need people to vote. They need to keep the lie alive!

Of course, in reality they're...

Governments are based on lies. They need liars to fill the offices of their various branches of government in order to promote the government lies. To add yet another tragically comic layer of lies to government, these government liars are called 'public servants'! One great example of a government liar is US President George W. Bush.

Governments seek and maintain power over people. That is why they exist. History has only shown a very few examples of governments that were temporarily beneficial to the people.

When Hamas captured the Israeli soldier and demanded a prisoner exchange with the Israelis, that was pretty much standard operating procedure in Israel's war against the Palestinians.
