colbert roasts bush
this performance took balls
scorching the administration
this blistering comedy “tribute” to bush left george and laura unsmiling at its close
"No wonder Bush left in a snit. He got shown up for what he is --- by someone who pretends to love him."
bush has broken more that 750 laws since he took office...
here's how democracy works:
"Bush is the first president in modern history who has never vetoed a bill, giving Congress no chance to override his judgments. Instead, he has signed every bill that reached his desk, often inviting the legislation's sponsors to signing ceremonies at which he lavishes praise upon their work.
Then, after the media and the lawmakers have left the White House, Bush quietly files ''signing statements" -- official documents in which a president lays out his legal interpretation of a bill for the federal bureaucracy to follow when implementing the new law.
In his signing statements, Bush has repeatedly asserted that the Constitution gives him the right to ignore numerous sections of the bills -- sometimes including provisions that were the subject of negotiations with Congress in order to get lawmakers to pass the bill. He has appended such statements to more than one of every 10 bills he has signed."
i guess democracy means the power to violate any law you find inconvenient, that's bush's gift to the world
bush's america is a democratic dictatorship ...
"we now live in a nation in which the president has the omnipotent power to ignore all constitutional restraints on his power"
"Bush now wields the same omnipotent, dictatorial powers that other dictators in history have wielded"

hypocrite drug addict gets booked for prescription drug fraud
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up." -- Rush Limbaugh. October 5, 1995 show transcript.

Path #5 -- Seeking Creativity, Freedom, Uniqueness
everyone has a unique perspective of reality
(1) if there is justice in this life, then no afterlife is necessary
(2) but if there is no justice in this life, then one has no reason to believe that god is just
(3) however, if one has no reason to believe that god is just, then we have no reason to believe he will provide us with an afterlife
(4) so, either no afterlife is needed, or else we have no reason to think god will provide one

"What the telecoms are trying to get away with is like this: suppose you ran a business, and your product was delivered by FedEx, with your customers paying FedEx for it. Now suppose FedEx came to you one day and said, "You are making a nice profit off our delivery service. Besides what your customers pay, I also want you to pay us for it, or else your deliveries are going to be a lot slower, if they make it there at all."

bush blames his problems on god ...
"I base a lot of my foreign policy decisions on some things that I think are true. One, I believe there's an Almighty. And, secondly, I believe one of the great gifts of the Almighty is the desire in everybody's soul, regardless of what you look like or where you live, to be free."

"Congress is pushing a law that would abandon Network Neutrality, the Internet’s First Amendment. Network neutrality prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work the best — based on who pays them the most. "
"If the public doesn’t speak up now, Congress will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by telephone and cable companies that want to decide what you do, where you go, and what you watch online. "

"No consequence of this apparently terrifying slippery slope comes close to warranting the ignorance and barbarism it takes to sustain the spectacularly failing drug war"
my religion
"atheism is not a religion. It is quite simply a fundamental world view that asserts that to date there has been no evidence for the existence (reality) of gods. Logically, it is therefore incumbent on believers to support their claims rather than the reverse"
"Atheists have observed that the deeper the religious belief the more there is a lack of intellectual integrity"
"God, faith, religion, and the supernatural are, in the atheist's world view, the causes of the delusional wishful thinking that has at best, wasted man's time and at worst, been responsible for his most awful behaviors"
