A former head of the CIA slammed President Obama on Sunday for releasing four Bush-era memos, saying the new president has compromised national security.
Lest we forget …
the moronic behavior of the past President who so
seriously harmed our nation, All Hat No Cattle now offers a different notable
quotation from George W. Bush each week.

America will be the pacemakers.” – Sept. 6, 2000
Subject: The 'Rights' Propaganda machine
Hi Lisa;
I would like to pass a note in response to your AHNC weekend commentary, which
discusses that subject "Can it get any crazier? Yes, and it will".
So what is really going on with all these frenzied Right wing posters now on all
of the news media comment boards? It does not take a whole lot of digging to
figure out that Rupert Murdoch of Fox news is more than partially responsible
for the recent ‘Tea Party Patriots’ demonstrations. He along with the ‘Rights’
almost exclusive lock on AM talk radio, are about all that remains to cause
further problems. It certainly appears as though they have managed to maintain a
well-lubricated propaganda machine.
I think first we must understand fully that the ‘Rights’ ability to continue
holding power as they have in recent times, has now been fairly diminished. I
strongly suspect that we are witnessing now is very much like a spoiled child
who is throwing a tantrum. They held a lot of power and sway for a considerable
period, but those days are now finally gone. They no longer hold any form of
majority, and they no longer hold any serious form of power. For a group of
people whose main focus has always centered on their own self-reflection or
vanity, such acceptance does not come easy. From this point forward, there will
be a continued increase in several population areas, involving youth, immigrants
and minorities, none of which will in any way prove helpful to the ‘Right’.
There is no longer any need for a southern based political type organization
with long roots into bigotry.
Unfortunately with their situation being so dire, we may find them reacting in
much the same manner as we would the wolds most populous rodent would when it is
cornered or threatened? For starters, continual referrals to our president’s
policies as being ‘Socialist’, are both outright false and misleading. The truth
most definitely appears to be the first casualty of this debate. Recently, I
listened in to talk radio, while Mark Levin was calling on his listening
audience to facilitate a direct payback, or a semi organized physical response
to attempts by our president install his social programs. Mr. Levin did quickly
offer a clarification of sorts by requesting that any Right Wing wacko’s to
please hold off on rounding up their gun’s, but still. Just what kind of people
do you think his audience consists of?
This ability by the ‘Right’ to both fester discontent and incite anger amongst
our citizenry has already been well documented and noted. So far they have
remained peaceful in nature, and we can only hope that they stay that way.
Purposeful emotional incitement of hate monger groups however, can only over
time bring about grave and undesired consequences. Their emphasis has always
fostered on propaganda, and I believe that they fully intend to continue using
it as such.

The "South" has lost twice. And they're pissed.
George W Bush said it best, "You're either with us or against us." In other
words no questions dare be asked.
The Christian right is what is pushing the GOP agenda, anti-abortion, anti-gay
and anti-gun laws.
They have been quite violent since the 1980s. Abortion doctor murders, clinic
bombings and oh yes, Timothy McVeigh.
Example:
Joe Scarborough was first elected to the US Congress in 1994 because he cozied
up to the first murderer of an abortion doctor in the Redneck Riviera aka
Pensacola, Fl. The area is filled with right wing religious nuts, talking in
tongues and political snake handling included. And now Joe has his own show on
MSNBC spewing the conservative right wrong ideology..
{{shudder}}
In the past decade the GOP gave us an impeachment, a stolen election, two wars
and an economy in the toilet.
And all they can come up with is a tea bag party.
That is a good thing.
Thank you so much for writing.

What you don’t know WILL hurt
you
WASHINGTON
(AP) – Despite a pledge to open government, the Obama administration has
endorsed a Bush-era decision to keep secret key details of an FBI computer
database that allows agents and analysts to search a billion documents with a
wealth of personal information about Americans and foreigners.
President Barack Obama's Justice Department quietly told a federal court in Washington last week that it would not second-guess the previous administration's decisions to withhold some information about the bureau's Investigative Data Warehouse.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocacy group, had sued under the Freedom of Information Act to get records showing how the FBI protects the privacy of Americans whose personal information winds up in the vast database.

Let’s not do anything to
offend Israel
WASHINGTON
(AP) – The Obama administration will boycott "with regret" a U.N. conference on
racism next week over objectionable language in the meeting's final document
that could single out Israel for criticism and restrict free speech, the State
Department said Saturday.
The decision follows weeks of furious internal debate and will likely please Israel and Jewish groups that lobbied against U.S. participation. But the move upset human rights advocates and some in the African-American community who had hoped that President Barack Obama, the nation's first black president, would send an official delegation.
The administration had wanted to attend the April 20-25 meeting in Geneva, although it warned in late February it would not go unless significant changes were made to the draft text.

Vatican stands tall in
defense of Pope’s condom comments
VATICAN CITY (AP) – Critics of the Catholic Church's social teachings are trying
to intimidate Pope Benedict XVI into silence, the Vatican charged Friday in
responding to attacks on the pontiff's remarks about AIDS and condom use.
In a strongly worded statement, the Vatican defended the pope's view that condoms aren't the answer to Africa's AIDS epidemic and could make it worse. On his way to Africa last month, he said the best strategy is the church's effort to promote sexual responsibility through abstinence and monogamy.
France, Germany, the United Nations' AIDS-fighting agency and the British medical journal The Lancet called the remarks irresponsible and dangerous. The Belgian parliament passed a resolution calling them "unacceptable" and demanded Belgium's government officially protest.

It must have been the will of

KABUL – (AP)
Two earthquakes shook eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 19 people and
destroying dozens of homes, officials said.
The quakes destroyed an estimated 100 houses in two villages in Nangarhar province, said governor's spokesman Ahmad Zia Abdulzai. The provincial police chief, Ghafor Khan, said at least 19 people were killed and 20 injured.
One villager said the death toll was considerably higher. Officials were traveling to the site.

Anyone for egg rolls?
(AP) – Union International Food Co. is expanding a spice recall to include all
Lian How brand and Uncle Chen brand sauces, oil and oil blends in various size
packages because the products may be contaminated with salmonella, an organism
that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young
children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. The company had
previously recalled Lian How brand and Uncle Chen brand dry spices.
California state health department officials say the salmonella outbreak has sickened 33 people throughout northern and central California, and nine others in Nevada, Oregon and Washington. No deaths have been reported. Officials say most of the people sickened appeared to have been exposed to salmonella while eating at Asian restaurants that used the company's spices.

Blago to be dropped in jungle
with other monkeys
CHICAGO – (AP)
An attorney close to Rod Blagojevich's legal team says the ousted Illinois
governor wants permission to leave the country to appear on a reality TV show in
Costa Rica.
Blagojevich, who pleaded not guilty to federal racketeering and fraud charges Tuesday, could tape the show in June if given permission by Judge James B. Zagel. The lawyer spoke on condition of anonymity, saying the plan was confidential.
NBC confirms it wants Blagojevich to appear on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" A network statement says 10 celebrities will be dropped into the Costa Rican jungle "to face challenges designed to test their skills in adapting to the wilderness."

We are your friends and

ISLAMABAD –
(AP) Pakistan's pro-U.S. president signed a regulation late Monday to put a
northwestern district under Islamic law as part of a peace deal with the
Taliban, going along after coming under intense pressure from members of his own
party and other lawmakers.
Asif Ali Zardari's signature was a boon for Islamic militants who have brutalized the Swat Valley for nearly two years in demanding a new justice system. It was sure to further anger human rights activists and feed fears among the U.S. and other Western allies that the valley will turn into a sanctuary for militants close to Afghanistan.
