Ed Martin is an ordinary person who is recovering from being badly over-educated. Born in the middle of the Great Depression, he is not affiliated with nor a member of any political, social or religious organization.

SHARE Friday, August 3, 2007 Hypocrisy, thy name is Bush
George Bush has set the all time, world record, standard for hypocrisy. While being adamantly opposed to "government-run health care," he at the same time benefits by using the very same government-run health care for himself that he says he so despises and wants to prevent us from having.

There's something going on with Nancy Pelosi. Her statements defy logic. They just don't make any sense. She knows full well that ending the Iraq war and passing legislation are exercises in futility as long as George Bush is president.

Nazism has not only survived but has flourished in the Neo-con think tanks. Brought directly to the United States from the glory days of Nazism in Germany by a student of the Nazi philosophers.

By asking the Pentagon what plans they have for the eventual withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Senator Clinton, who oversees the Pentagon and it's budget, is in violation of George Bush's executive order prohibiting criticism of his Iraq disaster.
SHARE Monday, July 2, 2007 Entities and privilege.
By Cheney bringing attention to his office as an entity and Bush bringing attention to non-existent "executive privilege' they also bring attention to the most powerful entity in the United States that they prefer to ignore and treat as if it doesn't exist.

We need more tough talking speakers on the left. Our toughest talk is telling nothing but the truth. The truth about Bush and his administration is so appallingly outrageous that we're left with nowhere else to turn for anything more outrageous. There is nothing more outrageous than the truth about the Bush administration. Absolutely nothing.

SHARE Friday, June 22, 2007 Here's just one example of what's gone wrong with our country.

Our current excuse for a President and all those running for his job have no idea of what a President is, due to their lack of knowledge about the constitutional limit to the President's power.

From looking at the evidence, we no longer have a democracy...
I will not allow a Republican in my presence. When confronted with lying, spinning Republicans who support Bush's crimes, I naturally become livid with rage and go into a bug-eyed, purple-faced, spit-spattering, screaming fit, pounding on the table and yelling and hollering until they're out of sight.
SHARE Friday, June 1, 2007 What we've got here is a turtle on a stump.
There's a saying that when you find a turtle on a stump, you can pretty will figure that he didn't get there by himself. The Democratic congress is the turtle on the stump.
