Thanks for that comprehensive list of Bush, and his colleagues, egregious offenses both to our own citizens, troops, and to people abroad. This will be an excellent email forward. I guarantee most of the responses you get will be sardonic responses, flagrant insults, or just statements that cavalierly dismiss these very salient contentions. I pretty much also bet that you will get very few responses because many Yahoo respondents, especially those that don’t agree with your opinions, have very short attention spans.

I don’t have anything really to add to a list that I feel pretty much covers all the bases, except to say that all the points you delineated can be encapsulated in the statement that “Bush squandered the trust of his citizenry, his soldiers, and the goodwill accorded to him by the rest of the world”. Humanity used to look to the United States as the beacon of hope, the ultimate paradigm to aspire to. Now we are a villain that is universally despised. It will take years to restore our image in the rest of the world and within our own shores, assuming that is even possible.

Nathaniel Dwayne Hale (born August 19, 1969),[1] better known by his stage name Nate Dogg, is a Grammy-nominated American R&B/hip-hop artist and singer born in Long Beach, California

He began singing as a child in the New Hope Trinity Baptist Church choir in Clarksdale, Mississippi where his father (Daniel Lee Hale) was pastor. At the age of 16 he dropped out of high school in Long Beach, California and left home to join the United States Marine Corps, serving for three years. In 1991 Nate Dogg, his cousin Snoop Dogg,[2] and their friend Warren G, formed a rap trio called 213.

Nate Dogg made his debut on Dr. Dre’s 1992 album, The Chronic. Singing in what would later become his trademark style, he was well-received by fans and critics alike, and would go on to sign with Death Row Records in 1993. Nate Dogg was also featured on Mista Grimm’s “Indosmoke” with Warren G. Then in 1994 he produced his first hit single “Regulate” with Warren G. Nate Dogg was also featured in many Tupac releases. Then in 1998 after a tumultuous time at Death Row Records he released another album. The double album was titled G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2 and was followed up in late 2001 with Music & Me on Elektra Records. Music & Me peaked at number three on the Billboard hip-hop charts in 2001.[3]

In 2002, Nate Dogg appeared on a celebrity episode of the Weakest Link making it to the last three players before being eliminated by Xzibit and Young MC.

Nate has found his greatest success not in solo projects, but in collaborations with other hip-hop artists. As of 2004, Nate Dogg has featured in and contributed to over 60 chart singles.[4]

After a number of delays and an original release date of April 2004, his self-titled album Nate Dogg is set to be released on Affiliated Entertainment Group on June 3rd 2008.[5] Nate Dogg has already begun work on a new project.

He is also credited with being the spokesman of a blunt wrap company called “Da Bomb Blunts”.

On December 19, 2007, he suffered a stroke, according to a coordinator for his recently formed gospel choir, Innate Praise. Reports had circulated that Nate Dogg had been admitted to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona, California after suffering a heart attack. Erica Beckwith, however, confirmed to MTV News that Nate Dogg was released on December 26 after being treated for a stroke and is currently in a medical-rehab facility to assist him in his recovery. On January 18, 2008, it was officially reported that the stroke had rendered the left side of his body paralyzed. Doctors believe there will be a full recovery, and his voice was not affected.[6]

On September 15, 2008, dubcnn.com reported Nate Dogg had suffered a second stroke.

On September 16, 2008, it was reported that Dogg is in stable condition and is using an assisted – breathing tube for comfort, although he can breathe on his own.

Yes, the list of things this administration has done is getting longer too quickly for us to deal with them! Most of his crimes have gone unresolved simply in light of 3 new scandals popping up to take their place. I am glad America voted for change in the midterms!

I agree with your assesment.

Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. It was the sixth-strongest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the third-strongest hurricane on record that made landfall in the United States. Katrina formed on August 23 during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and caused devastation along much of the north-central Gulf Coast. The most severe loss of life and property damage occurred in New Orleans, Louisiana, which flooded as the levee system catastrophically failed, in many cases hours after the storm had moved inland. The hurricane caused severe destruction across the entire Mississippi coast and into Alabama, as far as 100 miles (160 km) from the storm’s center. Katrina was the eleventh tropical storm, fifth hurricane, third major hurricane, and second Category 5 hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic season.
It formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005, and crossed southern Florida as a moderate Category 1 hurricane, causing some deaths and flooding there, before strengthening rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico and becoming one of the strongest hurricanes on record while at sea. The storm weakened before making its second and third landfalls as a Category 3 storm on the morning of August 29 in southeast Louisiana and at the Louisiana/Mississippi state line, respectively.
The storm surge caused severe damage along the Gulf Coast, devastating the Mississippi cities of Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, and Pascagoula. In Louisiana, the federal flood protection system in New Orleans failed in 53 different places. Nearly every levee in metro New Orleans breached as Hurricane Katrina passed east of the city, subsequently flooding 80% of the city and many areas of neighboring parishes for weeks.
At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. The storm is estimated to have been responsible for $81.2 billion (2005 U.S. dollars) in damage, making it the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history. The catastrophic failure of the flood protection in New Orleans prompted immediate review of the Army Corps of Engineers since the agency has by congressional mandate sole responsibility for the flood protection. There was also widespread criticism of the federal, state and local governments’ reaction to the storm and resulting in an investigation by the U.S. Congress and the resignation of Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael D. Brown. Conversely, the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service were widely commended for accurate forecasts and abundant lead time.

Recently I discovered that some of my ancestors were full-blood Native Americans who walked the Trail of Tears from Mississippi to Oklahoma. I have records with roll numbers for all of the my relatives born from these ancestors, and naturally I’m interested in acquiring birth/death/marriage certificates to prove my blood relation and tribal origins.

Does anybody know how the government law dictates who is legally entitled to claim Native American ethnity on Fedral/State tax forms and other official documents? In the past never registered as Native American, because I thought a person had to be pure 100% blood to claim it. Does the government require a certain quantum of Native American blood origin, or do they simply require some kind of roll/census number that properly proves I’ve already established my my Native American racial origin that is certified by my tribe?

More importantly, if you have any advice on how to go about establishing proof for my family’s genealogy, I would appreciate it. So far all I have is what my parents have given me where are a photocopies of letters written by ancestors, drawings of family trees, newspaper articles with photos, and roll numbers. Nobody seems to have any knowledge of who our ancestors were five generations back.

you are only native if you are enrolled in a federally recognized nation. and even if you are you will pay taxes like all the rest of us.

i’m enrolled mohawk and pay all the same taxes as my non native neighbors. the myth that we don’t pay taxes is a lie just like the lie that we get checks from the government. spread to make idiots hate us.

ETA: i file taxes every year. there is no race on those forms. when it comes to "green" no other color matters to the government. have you ever filed?

I wish everyone the best in 2007 and May God Bless America!

Your list is pretty exhaustive, and a simple yes to your question should suffice without qualification. All I would add here is that Bush and his cohorts started to deceive the American people far before their endeavors to convince the world about their reasons for going to war, and even well before the machinations that led up to 9/11.

People seem to have forgotten that Bush and his ilk started spewing falsehoods during the 2000 presidential campaign that was so brazenly false, that anyone, even particularly dense people, should have been able to see through it. He was stabbing Americans in the back well before he got into office by lying to them for why they should vote for hiim. Does anyone actually think that when he did attain power, that it wasn’t going to business as usual for this liar?

Ultimately, it is the American people that have stabbed themselves in the back, for not being more analytical so they could parse all the falsehood in Bush’s 2000 campaign rhetoric. Maybe if they had been more responsible, our fates would have been better today.

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of over one hundred thousand Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

oh yeah, sorry,

The Controversy of Iraq Invasion

also, I’m a registered republican, have been for the 12 years I’ve been legally allowed to vote and no, I have 2 children, live in my own house and hope that they grow up in a country that demands personal responsibility from its citizens AND government. Now we’re just a bunch of tools. hmm… being a tool… that should be impeachable…

for more info:

oh yeah, I stopped wearing my tin foil hat ever since I realized that it couldn’t stop major league baseball from reading my inner most thoughts.

The Simpsons, people… watch it.

1) The President was authorized to use force in Iraq by the Congress, even though, contrary to your assumption, there is no Constitutional restriction on use of force at the President’s discretion. The Constitution only requires that war can only be declared by Congress.

2) The President relied on sources deemed reliable by all parties who had reviewed the evidence, including most of the Democrats who are now saying that he lied, and former President Clinton. Any falsities in his rationale were not his fault, nor his administration directly.

3) The first two point have no basis. I have seen no evidence where direct attacks on civilians were ordered by the President or Vice President. As for the third, there are times in war where military targets of significance must be destroyed for the sake of protecting your military forces. If civilian casualties are unavoidable, you can only take measures to minimize civilian casualties, which our military strives to do.

4) This type of activity happened all the time during the cold war (see the newly released CIA information), and while it may not be legal, there are arguments that it actually IS ethical, because information could be gathered that could save thousands of lives, while they have no real impact on the lives of the majority of the people that they listen in on. It’s an invasion of privacy, but almost every President since Lincoln should have been impeached if it is an impeachable offense.

5) Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, and it has been our nation’s policy since 1917, when we entered World War I, to take action to remove or contain dictators who have threatened or acted aggressively towards us or our allies. Saddam Hussein paid the families of Palestinian homicide bombers, and therefore was a sponsor of terrorism against an Ally (Israel). What was President Clinton’s rationale for removing Milosevic from power in Bosnia? He had not even threatened our allies, and was nothing of a threat to the U.S., yet I would venture that you would not use that as a reason for wanting to impeach him.

6) Unfortunately, torture is relative, and what some may consider torture is not considered torture by others. What many of the prisoners describe as torture-urination on copies of the koran, playing country music in the prison, stripping them, etc.-are no more than playground bully tactics grown up. That doesn’t mean that they are right, but if it happened on a playground, you wouldn’t call it torture, you would say it was mean. So? It’s not like we administer the death of a thousand cuts… As far as the assassinations, executions, kidnappings, etc. I don’t know where you’ve come up with these accusations.

7) The "false information" was corraborated by a plethora of agencies and intelligence individuals, both of our nation, and of other nations, from Israel to Iran, Great Britain, and Turkey. There is little doubt that Saddam was making efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. He had even used them in the past (1980s against the Kurds, and against Iran, and in 1991 against U.S. troops). He had made it very clear from his own speeches that once he had WMDs, he fully intended to use them against Israel, and if he could, the United States.

8) The United Nations Charter and International Law are NOT in any way, shape, or form, part of the Constitutional Supreme Law of the Land. We are a fully sovereign and independent nation, with the full authority to act within our own policies and direction, just as any other nation within the United Nations. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and the Constitution alone. The U.N. is merely a place where nations, even those at war, can come together peacefully to discuss direction and ideas. But, their resolutions and decisions are in no way binding. They are merely intended to aid in the interactions between nations, and, where possible, to communicate international will.

9) There are no public cases where U.S. citizens have been detained without reason or counsel. While foreign enemies have been detained without counsel, and without appearing before civil courts, in any case where the combatants were citizens of the U.S., or one of our close Allies, they were remanded to the authority of the appropriate national civil court system.

10) To my knowledge, there is no restriction on the detention of prisoners of war, as long as the conflict continues. There were prisoners taken in World War II, who were prisoners for the entire war, and were not released until it was over. The administration has the authority to detain enemy combatants until they are no longer deemed a threat to our nation and our military, or our allies.

11-13) See above. As enemy combatants, there are very few rights that they have, beyond humane treatment under the Geneva Conventions, which our prisoners receive. Can you give evidence of summary executions of prisoners following tribunals? I have not heard of this until now.

14-15) What evidence do you have of these secret arrests? I believe that much of these accusations are conjured up out of fear about what the PATRIOT Act allows… For the issue of eavesdropping, see my response to number 4.

16) The seizure of assets is not automatic, and it only applies to assets being transferred to the "terrorist" organization. Any lawful activities are not restricted. If, through due process, the organization is able to prove that it is not tied to terrorism, the parties can pursue legal routes to have their assets restored. This type of thing happened often in the 1920s-1930s with people dealing with the Mafia, the 1940s with Nazi and Japanese sympathizers, the 1960s-1980s with Communist sympathizers, etc. It is not a new practice, and is not illegal.

17) The FEMA is not responsible for being the first responding agency to a local natural disaster, and they typically don’t get to one until a week, or so, after the disaster strikes. The local and state authorities are responsible for responding, and establishing a working support system in the early stages of an emergency. The President declared it a disaster area, freeing up federal funding, right after Katrina hit, which is his sole responsibility in disasters. There is no case for any criminal neglect by the President in this case. If you are looking for neglect, you will find it in the Governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans, who took three days to ask for federal funding, even after it was made available by the President.

18) I think that you’re way too caught up in this spying thing. You may notice that most of the people who want to kill us all are not Christians, or Jews, or even Athiests… There is a reason that profiling is used, if you stop and think about it. Do you know of any little old Christian ladies who have strapped bombs on themselves to blow people up? No. Almost all of those terrorist activities are carried out by members of radical political groups (Timothy McVeigh, Japan subway gassing), or radical Islamic fundamentalists (Sept. 11, the Madrid Bombings, London bombings, Israel suicide bombings, etc.).

19) Most of these documents are protected by Executive Privilege (a legal concept that has long been upheld). Aside from that, if you are overseeing a project, you don’t have to have access to every e-mail, phone conversation, memo, etc., to know if the job is being done. You look at the results. Documents only need to be released when there is illegal activity going on. They don’t need them just to address accusations of botched policies.

20) Finally, the constitution is silent on the procedure for withdrawing from a treaty, and as such, there is much latitude in how a president decides to go about withdrawing from them. Many presidents chose to go about doing so with the consent of both houses of Congress, some chose to do so on the advice of the Senate alone, and still others took it upon themselves to withdraw from them. There is no Constitutional violation in doing so.

In summary, if you really take a step back and look at the accusations that are being leveled at the President in an attempt to justify impeachment, they are weak, at best, and don’t really hold any water. Most of them are not violations of any law, and almost all of them have been accepted Executive practice for decades.

Here is a list of just a "few" of the crimes President Bush has committed….

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

May God Bless America!

You forgot planning, financing, carrying out and lying about the attacks on the WTC and Pentagon on 9/11. And if we would stop sitting on our asses and start demanding that our leaders answer for their crimes, then they would be brought to justice. If Clinton had pulled 1/4 the sh*t Bush has done, he would have been hung from the capitol flagpole!

Born John Smith Hurt in Teoc, Carroll County, Mississippi and raised in Avalon, Mississippi, Hurt learned to play guitar at age 9. He spent much of his youth playing old time music for friends and dances, earning a living as a farm hand into the 1920s. In 1923 he partnered with the fiddle player Willie Narmour as a substitute for his regular partner Shell Smith. When Narmour got a chance to record for Okeh Records as a prize for winning first place in a 1928 fiddle contest, Narmour recommended John Hurt to Okeh Records producer Tommy Rockwell. After auditioning “Monday Morning Blues” at his home, he took part in two recording sessions, in Memphis and New York City. The “Mississippi” tag was added by Okeh as a sales gimmick. After the commercial failure of the resulting records, and Okeh Records going out of business during the Great Depression, Hurt returned to Avalon and obscurity, working as a sharecropper and playing local parties and dances.

In 1963, however, a folk musicologist, Tom Hoskins, inspired by the recordings, was able to locate Hurt near Avalon, Mississippi. Seeing that Hurt’s guitar playing skills were still intact, Hoskins encouraged him to move to Washington, D.C., and begin performing on a wider stage. His performance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival saw his star rise amongst the new folk revival audience. Before his death he played extensively in colleges, concert halls, coffee houses and also on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, as well as recording three further albums for Vanguard Records. The numbers his devotees particularly liked were the ragtime songs “Salty Dog” and “Candy Man”, and the blues ballads “Spike Driver Blues” (a variant of “John Henry”) and “Frankie”.

Hurt’s influence spanned several music genres including blues, country, bluegrass, folk and contemporary rock and roll. A soft-spoken man, his nature was reflected in the work, which remained a mellow mix of country, blues and old time music to the end.

Hurt died in November 1966 from a heart attack in Grenada, Mississippi.
