To draw her into your arms ever so tenderly,To embrace her softly, dearly to your heart,To huddle close, near together her masses,And sense her least sustained yearning. I compel you to love your country. A nation that lifted the breast of humanityCaressing it tenderly toward equality's raptureWith gentle fingers of selfless, searing desireExploring over her ever toward paradise. I compel you to love your country. Freedom lovers damp in stiff-limbed writhingStumbling kisses upon red-barreled bravery,Softly probing her robust and supple liberty,Heed now her cries of woeful sovereignty! I compel you to love your country. Between her Trail of Tears and Mount MiseryShe still wai Read more:Sunday

How To Stop Terrorism? A Just U.S. Foreign Policy Would Be A Good Start. 2006-10-21 23:55:00 I was proud to serve my country as a Paramedic in The United States Air Force during the first Gulf War.I am proud today of each and every service member serving in the United States Armed Forces.As a civilian now, it is my duty to use my voice to speak out with other veterans against putting soldiers in harms way as a means to an unjust end.America's sons and daughters as well as untold numbers of Iraqis have died and are dying right now as a direct result of our trusting an administration that has cleaned out the treasury and handed over the cash to their preferred corporate partners who then failed to deliver anything of substance to stabilize Iraq when the opportunity was there to do so.I believe those who have given their lives for their country would expect us to honor them by exercising our duty as Americans to question the motives and the actions of the power that asked of them the ultimate sacrifice. These soldiers deserve to have those of us who are free to speak and act cha Read more:Terrorism

The Neo-Cons Last Stand, Starring..... 2006-10-20 02:51:00 I did a post some weeks ago that was focused on the Republican plan to spend millions on attack ads. In the days that have followed we have seen a political spectacle unfold that will surely rival any in our nations history.An unraveling network of corruption and influence peddling on a level never before seen in American politics.The eviceration of our constitution.Child exploitation.Suspension of Habeas Corpus.Just to name but a few.So, what does Ring Master Karl Rove have in store for the American voter in the final days before the election?You know it.You have been trained oh so well.It is your duty as Americans to respond when the bell is rung.Osama Bin LadenOsama will be coming to your living room courtesy of the GOP to remind you that if you do not vote for The Republican version of "Democracy".....Well let's just say you will all be sorry.Fill in your own details with whatever personally frightens you most.Don't expect a seasoned veteran of the election wars like Karl Rove Read more:Stand
You Can Sign But You Can't Hide 2006-10-18 02:52:00 Bush has placed his pen to what he hopes will be his own pardon for war crimes. Surely, the CIA and others who deliver the torture can rest easy now as well.Bush may believe that he will be the one to decide what is and what is not officially torture, but he is not. He may feel he is entitled to decide who shall be subject to indefinite detention without due process, but he is not.Bush may actually have delusions that a unitary executive will fly in this country but he is wrong. Americans may be extremely susceptible to long bouts of apathy but this is pushing the envelope way too far.If there is anything left of our decency as Americans this will be challenged in the courts and these distinctly unconstitutional acts will be ruled as such.America is waking up to the nightmare of our own governments decline into fascism and the implications of that decent into darkness for all of us.The question is are we courageous enough to drag our own boggey men out from under the bed and into th
Has CENTCOM Visited Your Blog Yet? 2006-10-17 00:11:00 I wondered about those hits to my blog last month. Visits from CENTCOM
. I admit that for a brief moment I wanted to believe that maybe some folks there might be interested in a more peaceful and sane world but then I though it more likely I had just been visited by Big Brother. Apparently I was right.I did not get the memo (e-mail actually) so, perhaps the folks at CENTCOM found my site to meet their ideal for the fashionably patriotic, new world order, stay in lockstep blogger.Stop laughing. Go on, I was kidding. The database has probably just not gotten around to spitting mine out yet.I know you righties out there are going to read this and say something like "You're glad their watching the liberal peacenik blogger apologists" but let me remind you, its a very, very short step from me to you and you may find there are lots of reasons for the taking of it that do not have one, single, solitary thing to do with your being on their side right now.You may never question your own a

Please visit Liz via the links at the bottom of this post.Thank you Liz for the magical words you cast upon the movement, freezing it in the reading, just long enough for thought to observe it and show it to the Soul.Beautifully done my friend.and now.....One Mind, One Thought I remember too well the days of spinning plates and juggling balls. I used to live for them. I did, didn't I?They were my life, but that wasn't living. Balls, and plates, and benchmarks don't make for thinking deep thoughts. They're not conducive to meaningful conversation. They're really not about people.What was that life about? Running, rushing, reaching, being fearful? I never liked scary movies or scary rides at carnivals. Why would I choose the life of an adrenaline junkie living on the edge of the impossible, always this pulling a slightly scorched success from the fires of certain failure?I felt used and useful, b Read more:Sunday

Today is National Coming Out Day 2006-10-11 12:01:00 Greetings All,The Peace Tree is pleased to announce our newest contributing author, Lori Hahn. We are pleased to present Lori's debut post on National
Coming Out Day. Please visit her blog via the link at the bottom of this post! Today
is National Coming Out Day!Lori Hahn When I was growing up in a small city in Iowa, I knew I was different. It was indefinable, because no one ever said the word "Gay" or "Lesbian" and no one I knew was gay, or at least that's what I thought then. I didn't know what "it" was or what it meant. I struggled through my various phases of adolescence and experimentation and came out on the side of "normal;" a normal that was never really who I was. Things were different then—and even more different for the generations of Gays and Lesbians who had their own struggles before mine. One day, I knew in my heart of hearts if I didn't come out, I would surely explode into a million pieces. Every facet of my life was crumblin
Sunday Poetry Series: Disdain 2006-10-08 06:02:00 The selection this week comes from Tina Louise, Peace Tree contributing poet. Tina brings us a poets view of the media and the message.Tina Louise on Disdain:Hidden beneath false reality is the truth of how our world really is [December 2004] and now...... Disdain We stand with flowers and open hearts,But you know the finer arts,Of war and terror,And utilise the error,Of underestimation,To crack once mighty nations. Power play, playing leaders,Evil-deeders,Reeking havoc,In an enemy's name,Transferring and switching blame. Transparent yet hidden,Beneath unbelievable.Almost unreachable. Peace in pieces,As power deceives us,Who will believe us,When we cry "lie'? Who will answer,When we cry "why'? The end is not nigh,Each moment is the beginning,Sadly lost in the winning,Of daily body counts,Or sales amounts. Not marked with joy for what is,Just a ploy taking us to the abyss,Of never ending improved tomorrows,Of non existent Read more:Sunday

Outing Hypocrisy 2006-10-07 19:18:00 Watching the ultimate results of extreme hypocrisy meltdown, while certainly something to be thankful for, is certainly not pretty. It is like watching a good film noire where all the characters realize in the end they have all been used and duped by each other for their own selfish reasons to the point where all of them lose in the end.The desperate last act struggle to avoid this inevitable outcome is being played out before the eyes of the nation and the world. The skeleton of rightousness filled out to reveal its flesh and bones of corruption, collusion, bribery and deceit.Here is an article that is clear and insightful on the matter: Oscars for the "Homosexual Defenders" Pleaseby Dean PowersAnne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity deserve Oscars for their role as sympathizers in "The Passion of the Gays."

I am posting his comment and my response here because I feel it is worth exploring.SoJo wrote:I have very mixed emotions about this movement. On the one hand, I agree with most of what they're saying. On the other hand, I have a problem with the fact that the Supporters of the Revolutionist Communist Party created it.

FOX News Failed to Investigate Foley E-mail Story 2006-10-03 23:33:00 Op-Ed News Most Read Story Oct 3, 2006________________________Reported at The Raw Story Florida newspapers — that were leaked copies of the e-mail with the Louisiana boy last year — defended their decision not to run stories. Both The St. Petersburg Times and The Miami Herald were given copies of the e-mail, as were other news organizations, including Fox News. "Our decision at the time was ... that because the language was not sexually explicit and was subject to interpretation, from innocuous to 'sick,' as the page characterized it, to be cautious," said Tom Fiedler, executive editor of the Herald. "Given the potentially devastating impact that a false suggestion of pedophilia could have on anyone, not to mention a congressman known to be gay, and lacking any corroborating information, we chose not to do a story."________________________________________________ Clearly the news outlets mentioned above have forgotten what they are supposed to be doing as journalists.

Just Nod If You Can Hear Me 2006-10-24 23:50:00 I was making the rounds of my favorite sites today and I came across this little item at Crooks and Liars. It boggles the mind that one so incredibly obtuse, so stunningly disassociated and one dimensional could actually hold the office of President in The United States of America. But he does.Maybe this is really just a bad dream?Nope, he's still there. Maria Bartiromo of CNBC asked Bush the burning question on all our minds these days: "Have you ever Googled anybody?

Let Us Not Speak Falsely Now 2006-10-29 03:38:00 What follows my personal commentary is an article that should get the undivided attention of every single American Citizen.The last call to awaken has been sounded.Be you Left, Right or in the Middle.While we all debate the polls, speculate on theft of elections and make satirical fun of the decider in chief, Bush has quietly signed into LAW, let me repeat that, signed into LAW the means by which dissent will be dealt with in The United States of America. We like to make our statements and comment on the issues of our times, you may have noticed as I have, there is no longer any real debate about those issues. The reality we find in our midst today is not a situation of debate and then decide. It is one of decisions made in secret, by a small group of people with extreme conflicts of interest and only given the illuision of debate when and where the aftermath of these decisions are uncovered. You are either with us or against us. Period.How does one debate the finer points of torturi

Let's Talk About Context, Shall We? 2006-10-27 21:43:00 In answer to the comments and e-mail I have received regarding my post on the statements made by Rush Limbaugh about Michael J. Fox as being based in liberal bias and taken out of context. Call it biased if you like but,Here's your context: It is called the world according to Rush: "Citizen service is a repudiation of the principles upon which our country was based. We are all here for ourselves." "One of the things I want to do before I die is conduct the homeless Olympics . . . the 10-meter shopping cart relay, the dumpster dig, and the hop, skip, and trip." "If you're working to make the playing field fair and level, you're working for the wrong reasons. Work to take the opportunities that arise and use your individual talents to excel at those opportunities."

By Lori Hahn I have the pleasurable acquaintance of some kids who are adopted. Okay, they call me "Mom" Fortunately, with the advent of open adoption, all of the kids have contact with one of their birthparents. It's a convoluted story, as most such tales are, but this has all worked out well, in its quirky little way. The unfortunate part of this story is that the birthfather of part of this brood is spending time in a Federal Correctional Institute, where he's been for the last four years and will remain for the next seven, for drug crimes. Admittedly, I don't understand one damned thing about life behind bars or the criminal judicial system outside of what I saw on Perry
Limbaugh and The So Called Apology 2006-10-27 03:40:00 I realize that Rush Limbaugh
is considered a hero by many Americans, who are deeply enamored with his particular brand of irreconcilable moralism. The thrill of the uninformed, unconcerned and self-centered cheap shot delivered for effect without regard to any of the finer human sensibilities. The rage of one who knows no respect for anyone who does not agree with his personal interpretation of reality at any given moment. So absolute is his sense of righteousness that he never saw the derision he poured out upon Michael J. Fox as a clear reflection of the depths of his own depravity. He may not have but a lot of other people certainly did. This display was graphic, nauseating and sad, an example of what the right has come to represent in America to those who still care about our fellow human beings. Rush Limbaugh's reaction to Michael J. Fox's physical appearance in the Missouri ad, where Fox says: "As you might know I care deeply about stem cell research. In Mis Read more:Apology

Power Does That Make You A Whore?An 80-year-old man goes for a physical. All of his tests come back with normal results. The doctor says, "Roger, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?" Roger replies, "God and I are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom; poof.... the light goes on. When I'm done, poof....the light goes off." "Wow, that's incredible," the doctor says. A little later in the day, the doctor calls Roger's wife. "Ruth," he says, "Roger is doing fine! But I had to call you because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof.... the light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done, poof..
Only So Much 2006-10-31 13:14:00 Today we feature a post by Peace Tree Contributing author, Lori Hahn.Only So MuchBy Lori Hahn Every day, I go to work past the Loaves & Fishes and the Salvation Army—where the homeless can get a meal and maybe even find a job. It's in a rough warehouse area. Not inviting at all to the city's residents as a whole. Men in wheelchairs, women on bikes, people walking with their shopping carts or bags full of their life's belongings form an endless stream of people running from the river banks from one direction to the bushes and alleys downtown from the other, all converging at this point because breakfast is about to be served. There is no progression through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs here—it's pure survival, baby. I take frequent trips around the block at the office, mostly to clear my head, but sometimes just to see what's going on outside the confines of the space I share with smart, sane, college-educated folks that may worry about where they might find

Recruiters CaughtLying
By American SocialistAn ABC News investigation showed military recruiters lying to students. The investigation consisted of giving students hidden cameras before talking to military recruiters. On camera, the military recruiters were caught telling students that the war in Iraq was over, people won't be going to Iraq, and that they are bringing people home. Not true at all. The war in Iraq is very much alive, my friend, people are still getting sent there, and people are not being brought home. In fact, troops that are there are in Iraq are having their stays extended.Let us not forget that this has happened before. Last year, military recruiting was halted and recruiters had to be retrained because too much stuff like this was happening.If that is the case, then I want to ask why our schools are letting

Something Fishy Going On..... 2006-11-06 04:13:00 Guest post from Peace Tree contributing author, American Socialist. Something FishyGoing
On...Saddam's trial seemed like it would never end. Gas prices seemed like they would never go down. Bush was saying that he was keeping our country safe. Why is all of this changing around the midterm election?Doesn't anyone else find it a bit odd that Saddam's trial has been going on for over a year (it began in October of 2005) and they have never been able to reach a decision until now, right before midterm elections? Today, Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death. Of course, this would give the Republicans an extra boost in the polls. Putting two and two together, one could determine that someone may have been paid off to finally have a decision made in the Saddam trial, an effort to get more votes for the GOP.But the dishonesty doesn't stop there. Think of how high the gas prices have been. Have you noticed they have been working their way down these last few months leading up to
