1. True Patriot
The haters who scream at me
with stupidity for what I believe
can
just
Shut
Up
Because I am a true American patriot

Challenging those waving a flag without giving a glance
Into the real issues that got us here
Our biased foreign policies all over the earth
Have ignored the people we indirectly oppress while
Propping up leaders so we can possess
Their countries resources for our own uses
As we look away from the human rights abuses

A true patriot is vigilant
Fighting for the truth even when
The majority are aloof to the devastation
Their government has caused to the less fortunate
Around the world and in our country
Smothering people who don’t have the money
To own politicians’ asses like the Rich
Who manipulate our nation
While paying their Congressional Bitch
To knock boots with special interests
Shifting taxes so the wealthy swim in a pool of green
While the rest of our backs are broken
By more local taxes and cost of living increases

A true patriot stands up for the truth
When Bush attacks Iraq with no proof
Of any real threat to the United States of America
Or any real link to bin Laden’s terrorist network
The Bush boys started an illegal war
Insulted the world and said, “F*ck your support”
W spoke with a mouth full of sh*t
And now true patriots must make him eat it

2. C.R.A.P I misunderstood it.
It's Conservative Republicans Against Progress. I thought it must be Committee to Re-Appoint the President.

3. C.R.A.P. Karma
Since conservatives have spent decades trying to turn liberal into a ditry word, this is just a karmic payback for their efforts.

9. LOL! That's definitely a step down from C.R.E.E.P. -
Committee to Reelect the President - but since * wasn't elected to begin with, it would have fit very well...

7. The 900 lb. gorilla in the corner
The reasons that Bush wanted to attack Iraq are
obvious, so it’s astounding to me that the Anti-War
Movement does not clearly voice these:

1. Bush Senior gave WMDs to Saddam, but then failed to
remove him during Gulf War I. Neo-conservatives
always feared that Saddam Hussein would one day use
these weapons against the U.S. Bush Junior had to
attack Iraq to prevent this from happening to protect
his family legacy.

2. Bush Senior told the people of Iraq he would
support an uprising against Saddam Hussein, but he
turned his back on them as Saddam’s forces slaughtered
tens of thousands of Iraqis. Bush Junior felt he had
an obligation to fulfill the broken promise spoken by
his father.

3. The neocons believed that America could impose
democracy on a Muslim nation through war. Thinking
that Iraq could pay for its own reconstruction using
its natural resources, the oil executives in the White
House planned to bring in their friends to show Iraq
how to really run an oil business. It would be a
lucky coincidence that the oil companies who put Bush
and Cheney in the White House would make billions in
Iraq in the process.

Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with Osama
bin Laden or the terrorists acts of September 11,
2001. Claiming that Saddam was working with al Qaeda
IS THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD by a president.

11. Who are the C.R.A.P?
Before we talk about what C.R.A.P. IS, let's talk about what C.R.A.P. IS NOT. Our website does NOT opposes all Republicans. There is enough bi-partisan hate in the world already. There are Republicans whom we respect, some we love, and some that we're even related to! And the same goes for Republicans who identify themselves as Conservatives. Conservative is not a four letter word.

...But neither is Liberal. And lately, anyone who doesn't blindly support whatever the right-wing C.R.A.P. do finds him or herself accused of being unpatriotic. The C.R.A.P. disregard citizens' Constitutional rights, favor the greed of big business over the needs of our citizens, and want to spread democracy internationally--even if it means taking military action to impose democracy on people whether they want it or not. This is CRAP--and no bones about it--we are definitely ANTI-C.R.A.P!

13. Wave of Inspiration
I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA and teach in the city. There is a rumbling of political activity occurring everywhere here. We know this is battleground state central and everyone is getting swept up in the fervor of it all. It's an exciting feeling. It has been an invigorating grassroots campaign unlike anything we have witnessed before. Organizations are reaching out, Democrats are coming from states far and wide to canvass our neighborhoods, and people just having the natural instinct to stand up and get involved. This is a time of revolution in our political consciousness, and I'm proud to be fighting the battle in the place where our nation was born. Let's follow the flow of this wave of inspiration to victory on November 2.

14. Supporting the War on Terrorism
After we were all devastated on that dreadful day
Our leaders could easily say
The sacrifices we should have made
But since Bush is in bed with big oil
Speaking the truth would only spoil
His place on the puppet stage
That the right-winged elite have created

Conserving energy is the obvious step
Renewable resources must come next
Severing our need for an oil fix
And becoming energy independent

But instead the oil pimps turned Iraq as their trick
Evicted Saddam to make themselves rich
Only because their Saudi bitch
Funded our enemy and claims she can’t snitch

Diamonds are the next thing to go
Flashing them like a playa fakin’ ho
The terrorists wash their money in stones
Since no one can trace the flow
And because they know these fools can’t leave ice alone
So keep in mind that the rock you buy
Pays the people who want you to die

They say they want us to support the war on terror
But they haven’t asked us to do a damn thing
Except to keep spending and spending
or the terrorists win

15. Political Proverb
When Team Bush orders a character assassination, that how you know the person under attack is telling the truth.

16. The Chump Change Tax Cut
About his tax cuts, George Bush said, "Ninety-two million Americans will keep an average of $1,083 more of their own money." Did YOU get over a thousand dollars? Didn't think so.

This is "fuzzy math" for two reasons. First, there are about 282 million Americans-so the 92 million that George Bush mentioned were only 1/3 of us. Second, of that 92 million, the "average" included people who got a lot, people who got a little and everyone else in between.

An example will help explain… Average the tax cuts of 40 people: 39 who got a tax cut of $300 and 1 who got a tax cut of $30,000. The average tax cut amounts to over $1,000-the thing is, the rich guy took $700 of from each and every one of the 39 other people! Unfortunately, the ridiculous example above is not far from how the tax cut was shared among the income groups, as the chart below shows. This represents the average amount of money people from each income group got back.

So while the richest percentages got a lot of money back, the rest of us got a "Chump Change Tax Cut." In fact, most people's tax cut didn't even cover the higher cost of living expenses, not to mention the rising gasoline and energy prices. During the presidential debates, George W. Bush said, "Most of the tax reductions go to the people at the bottom end of the economic ladder." As you can see on the chart, the bottom end of the economic ladder gets $20 while the top end gets $$33,516. Now that, my fellow Americans, is what you call fuzzy math.

Go to our website to see a chart of the disproportionate Chump Change Tax Cut (click The 411).

17. Plane Wreck
After 9/11 we had the world’s support
To fight the terrorism war
The engines of the War Plane ignited
And rumbled with furious power
Flying east to attack the extremists
Who toppled the Twin Towers

We bombed Afghanistan back to the Stone Age
The Taliban crumbled as the war was waged
Al Qaeda scattered and was frightened
As Osama’s noose was tightening
Our international allies were willing to join the fight
The people of America wanted to unite
Hoping Bush had the guts to lead us right
But instead of slaying the beast
Mr. Guard suspended fighter pilot
Flew the War Plane to the Middle East

Neo-con-artists connived to provide
False information which persuaded fools to their side
In order to mount an attack on Iraq
While those who knew there was no proof
Protested as warriors of the truth
As our own home grown extremists from the right-wing
Hijacked the War Plane and aimed it away
From Osama to assassinate Hussein
While those using their brains knew
That Saddam had
Nothing
To
Do
With bin Laden’s network of terror
Yet Team Bush always slurred the line
To link Osama Hussein with the 9/11 attack
Distorting the facts
Since weapons of mass destruction
No longer existed in Iraq

As al Qaeda operatives
Spread out through sixty different countries
Bush flew the War Plane away
From chasing down and smoking out the terrorists
The President wasted valuable time and energy
to convince the masses a lie was the truth
And attacked Iraq without legitimate proof
That the Bush family long time nemesis
Was any real threat to our national security

The War Plane sped to a crash landing
A guided missile smashed Iraq
The force was shockingly powerful
And now the wreck is unbelievable
Pieces of the plane are flung everywhere
Burnt contorted shredded metal litter the landscape
Shards of glass scattered all over the ground
Buildings blown to pieces
Children lie in the rubble
Tens of thousands of people killed
Millions of civilian lives ripped apart
Families destroyed


Turbulence among the Muslim people
Has spun into chaos
The Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites
Are churned through the mess
As Iraq has become a battleground
A calling for Islamic militant fundamentalists
To fight a Jihad holy war against the U.S.
As America’s Christian militant fundamentalists
Launched a Crusade to fight for their oil god

Our soldiers are now struggling for survival
After their Commander-in-Chief’s abuse of power
Iraq is a disaster
Rebuilding the War Plane to return
To the real War on Terrorism
Is now impossible under Bush
Our allied support is obliterated
Our respect at home and abroad has disintegrated
Bush pissed on the U.N.
And now has to beg for help to save his sorry ass
The United Nations must intervene before Iraq implodes
The people of the United States must fire Bush
Before the chance of victory in the war completely erodes

You can’t export democracy on smart bombs
Forcing a culture to change with military might
is a Kamikaze mission

The surreal case made for Operation Iraqi Freedom
Only fans the flames of a smoke screen
W’s real goal was to clean up Daddy’s mess from Gulf War I
Since history remembers Bush Senior as a lame ass chump
Yet Bush Junior did for the terrorists
What they’ve always wanted to do
Ever since Saddam came to power
Because to Islamic extremists
Hussein was the devil incarnate
For the suffering he forced upon the people of Iraq
Until the U.S military industrial complex
Attacked Iraq with no post war plan for peace
Making Osama into a real prophet to the Islamic world
Since several years before
bin Laden predicted that America
would invade and occupy an oil-rich Muslim nation
W now gave al Qaeda a clear target
And no better recruiting tactic
To inspire young warriors
In the Muslim world to fight to the death
Now American soldiers are killed
In the wreckage of the War Plane everyday
And the war on global terrorism
Has erupted at hell’s gate
