    Just yesterday in his broadcast on the 700 Club Reverend Pat Robertson called for the assassination of President Hugo Chavez who is the President of Venezuela.
    I find this outrageous coming from an alleged man of God.
    I find this equally outrageous that a man who believes in the sanctity of all human life would call for this.
    By calling for a world leader’s assassination, this proves that he is NOT PRO LIFE, but part of the sick machine that has taken hold of our (…)

    The President’s Greatest Fear
    By Doug Soderstrom
    22 August, 2005
    It has been said that "Love hath no fear" which I believe means that if one is committed to finding the truth, that one wants to understand, wants to know the truth more than anything else in the world, then through such conviction one will find the courage, the fearlessness, to pursue what must be done.
    Next to the president’s Crawford, Texas vacation compound Cindy Sheehan has indicated that she will not leave until (…)

    SAN DIEGO, CA — (OfficialWire) — 08/20/05 — Throughout history, religion has been the single greatest source of human-caused wars, suffering, and misery. Without exception, in the name of God, more suffering has been inflicted than by any other manmade cause.

    By Peter Fredson
    Like many people, I spent part of the past 5 years trying to decipher the complexities of the collective mind of George W. Bush. I have collected gigabytes of files concerning his activities, propensities, quotations, quirks, speeches, gaffes, emotions, ego-trips, prayers, threats, disdain, swaggering, smirking, and ties to influential individuals.
    I have linked some of Bush’s ties to Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, (…)
