Bill Moyer got bounced for pointing out that Bush mispoke when he called the hijackers cowards. I guess he didn't realize that 'coward' is what grade school boys use to insult each other, they don't yet know the exact meaning of the word. Knee jerk hot heads were all over him for that. I guess that they didn't listen to what he said. Even worse is to hear Bush speak about the principles of our founding father's in the Lott incident. I guess he didn't know that they were all slave owners, that the country had survived on owning slaves for several hundred years before the traitorous terrorists held the Boston Tea Party and other acts of rebellion. And for at least another 100 years after the creation of the US based on the principles of the founding fathers, slavery was both supported by Congress and the Supreme Court. On this date in 1865 Congress FINALLY abolished Slavery via the 13th Ammendment. Slavery was abolished but segregation and racism continued. About 100 years later the Civil Rights Act finally gave minorities equal rights. Two years ago, tens of thousands were prevented from voting or had their votes lost. What was done to the so called Indians was genocidal. --- How about a switcher ad for adding software, installing a printer or any other action which requires a password...that you don't remember... :) Jack Rodgers Email: jackrodgers at earthlink.net Web: www.jackrodgers.com iCal: coming soon iBlog: coming soon
