COINCIDENCE? I think NOT!
Quote
For every dollar of church property untaxed, all other properties must be taxed one dollar more, and thus the poor man's home bears the burden of maintaining costly edifices from which he & his family are as effectively excluded--as though a policeman stood to bar their entrance, and in smaller towns all sects are building, building, building, not a little town in the western prairies but has its three & four churches & this immense accumulation of wealth is all exempt from taxation. In the new world as well as the old these rich ecclesiastical corporations are a heavy load on the shoulders of the people, for what wealth escapes, the laboring masses are compelled to meet. If all the church property in this country were taxed, in the same ratio poor widows are to day, we could soon roll off the national debt. . . .

The clergy of all sects are universally opposed to free thought & free speech, & if they had the power even in our republic to day would crush any man who dared to question the popular religion.”
-- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

From the Church of Ineffable Stupidity:

a) AIPAC
this group is spreading the word that Israel is suffering from a missile gap, one that makes it vulnerable to Syria and Iran.
Let me see. Who is getting 30 billion MORE in arms over the next few years from the US? Who has a cruise-missile, nuclear tipped submarine? Who has the top of the line US-designed aircraft and AWACs control systems? Who has a larger standing army per capita than Israel?
no one.

AIPAC managed to cancel a public discussion scheduled for next month in Chicago - two professors wrote a book showing that kowtowing to Israel has served neither US interests, nor Israel's as well as AIPAC would have you believe. At least they were not able to cancel the publication of the book.

Are the rumors that AIPAC is a major funder of Freedom's Watch true? Hmmmm.

c) IRAQNAM - NIE
Who would have thought that our intel agencies would have the balls to say that Iraq is the failure we know it to be?

d) Condi Rice
Because we can.
