Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Bush

By Robert Parry

Violence which Bush favors - no matter how wanton the slaughter of innocents - is justifiable, while violence that goes against Bush's interests - even an insurgency against a foreign military occupation - must be punished without remorse as "terrorism."

"What is the great Amercican sin? Extravagance? Vice? Graft? No; it is a kind of half-humorous, good-natured indifference, a lack of "concentrated indignation" as my English friend calls it, which allows extravagance and vice to flourish. Trace most of our ills to their source, and it is found that they exist by virtue of an easy-going, fatalistic indifference which dislikes to have its comfort disturbed....The most shameless greed, the most sickening industrial atrocities, the most appalling public scandals are exposed, but a half-cynical and wholly indifferent public passes them by with hardly a shrug of the shoulders; and they are lost in the medley of events. This is the great American sin.": Joseph Fort Newman, Atlantic Monthly, October 1922

"A patriot sets himself apart in his own country under his own flag, sneers at other nations and keeps an army of uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries and keep them from grabbing slices of his. In the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth." : Mark Twain, The Lowest Animal

Why are you down on ICH? Is it that it did not come from the fox news network and the corporate media?

I guess I am not making my position clear. What I am down on is the way you post from ICH. pba, I post from ICH frequently. But, unless the material is ICH original I always post from the material ICH used for their posting.
