    WINTHROP, Maine - A 22-year-old veteran from Peaks Island, Maine who was granted conscientious objector status from the Army last November is taking to the Internet to share what he learned with others.

    The Voter’s Internet Party: a modest proposal.
    By James K. Sayre
    We need to create a new Voter’s Internet Party. With every passing day it is becoming painfully more obvious to all but the most fanatically partisan of us that the vast majority of the Senators and Representatives from both of the two major political parties are irrevocably corrupted by the unseemly influence of major corporations and the wealthy ruling elites. Therefore, we, the vast majority, who want clean honest open (…)

    it’s Time To Ignore Michael Ruppert Comment By Paul Fassa Internet Trailer Park Trash 1-23-5

When he first came to my attention, I bought his early 9/11 video. I was impressed, though a little bothered over (…)

    Last Friday I addressed a group of Democrats in a Blount County cafeteria, and standing there amid some 50 or so finishing their coffee and iced tea and apple pie, I satisfied my curiosity about something: "How many of you believe Bush stole the 2004 election?" I asked.
    I was surprised when at least two-thirds immediately raised their hands. Ask the same question to a room full of Republicans, and you’ll get hooted off the floor. It’s a sign of the times. These days what (…)
