WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose whistle-blowing website caused uproar last month with a leak of secret U.S. military files on Afghanistan, has been charged in Sweden with rape and molestation, the National Prosecutor’s Office said on Saturday.
Assange was quoted by a Swedish daily as denying the allegations.
Assange, an Australian, was in Sweden last week to discuss his work and defend his intent to publish further documents on the war in Afghanistan. He has close ties with the Nordic country, where WikiLeaks has said it keeps some of its servers.
The non-existent Mosque story over shadows our Troops coming home from Iraq. Well most of our troops....
Remember way back during the 2008 campaign when the war in Iraq was a pretty big deal? When Democrats had to choose between one candidate, Clinton, forced to defend/explain her (bad) choice to approve the war and another, Obama, who had spoken out early and often against the war. We know who won that fight. Then America was asked to choose between Obama and McCain – who advocated sticking with Bush’s war until we “won”, whatever winning meant. We all know who won that fight too.
Today, one of the hottest topics of the campaign is meriting seemingly little national discussion as Barack Obama has kept his promise to end the war in Iraq. No Republicans on TV are lambasting him for this action or saying we should stay. Fox News is eerily quiet on the successful withdrawal of troops from Iraq, which btw, will not only save lives but will end a huge drain on our national pocketbook. No, instead we’re obsessed all of a sudden with whether Muslims count as Americans protected under the same 1st Amendment rights as the rest of Americans.
God told Bush to send our troops to Iraq.
President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden's stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians.
Who cares about Article IV of the U.S. Constitution?
President Obama's religion is no one's business. If he were an atheist, that would be no one's business. That Democrats continually play into the right wing game by going out of their way to prove their religious faith is a continuing problem. When asked about religion, all politicians should be able to say that their beliefs are private. It would be nice to see them refer to Article VI of the U.S. Constitution. It also would be nice to see more people stand up against the very idea that being called a Muslim is a smear. If asked directly whether the president really is a Muslim, the best response the White House could give is the Charlie Chaplin response: President Obama does not have that honor.
Although The Professional Left is always right(pun intended) we get no R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Politicians (generally speaking) only love us when it comes time for our money or our votes. Once elected it's all about serving the corporations, not the people.
There is no difference between the republican and democratic party.
At a time when Democrats, Independents and most Americans are craving a strong, coherent populist message, why do we have Democrats presenting themselves as shills for the two or three hundred richest families in America? Isn't that why we have a Republican Party? And isn't that why the Republican Party was voted out of power?
It's official the GOP is winning the hearts and minds of Americans, I wonder why? Hm...
New poll shows majority of Americans do not trust Obama. Majority of Americans want repub congress in place to control Obama from doing anything to help this country pull itself out of the deep pit that the last admin left us in.
Americans do not want money used to help main street Americans, Americans want the money used to help the poor top 5 percent apparently. How quickly we forget what GOP stands for.
States get million of dollars for charter schools as school libraries are defunded.
This Administration says it wants to focus on programs that are effective, but it has not only recommended policy that will keep school libraries underfunded, but it will also eliminate funds for a program that the Department of Education has evaluated twice and found to be effective both times,” American Association of School Libraries (AASL) President Cassandra Barnett said. AASL is a division of the American Library Association (ALA).
Hm......

If you want a primer on good old fashion progressive liberalism (used to be called Democratic values), just follow the Redeye train of thought, and you can get back on track!
