  • Todash19, on 07/04/2008, -5/+88I spent my 4th of July signing a petition to impeach our lying president.

    How's that for Patriotism...
  • Journeywithinn, on 07/04/2008, -6/+88I don't know why, cause this is a great message from a man who cares about a document that has served our country well for centuries, as is being attacked by our current administration with NO doubt.
  • kd420, on 07/05/2008, -3/+69I'm a Canadian, and after taking an American History class I know why people say America is the best country in the world. Not because of money, innovation or whatever. It's because of how it was founded; common sense, libertarian, egalitarian principles. And now it has been tarnished by the big corporations and phony politicians. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and others like them are the modern-day founding fathers. They have nobility and loyalty to their country that most of the politicians today can only dream about.

    Impeach Bush, not just for America, but to give everyone else in the world hope, people like me included. Hope; that a nation based on such noble principles, such fundamental simplicity and elegance isn't run into the ground due to greed, dishonesty and malice.
  • inactive, on 07/04/2008, -7/+71We'll be at the White House TODAY July 4 reading Dennis' Articles of Impeachment to the busloads of tourists. Join us if you are in town, starting at 2PM.

  • Stryder81, on 07/04/2008, -5/+68Kucinich is one of the few who says " Fu** off " in a subtle way. I love this guy, he's the bulldog of the house.
  • inactive, on 07/04/2008, -5/+67"I will personally deliver to members of congress" Kucinich = Integrity
  • King0007, on 07/04/2008, -5/+55Stop the attack on IRAN!!
  • brad3378, on 07/04/2008, -4/+48I don't have a problem signing the petition ( http://impeachment.kucinich.us/petition/ )
    but do they really need my email address?

    "Patriotism means to stand by your country. To protect your Constitution, hard won liberty and privacy rights. It does not mean to blindly stand by the president or any other public official."

    'there used to be a me behind the
    mask, but i had it surgically removed.'

    Freedom is only a hallucination that shows at the edges of places you go when you dream.
  • SlimFastForYou, on 07/05/2008, -2/+34 When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

    Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
  • skinnyskittles, on 07/05/2008, -0/+26patriotism is protecting your country from your government
  • Harmatia, on 07/05/2008, -0/+24You can thank 'No Child Left Behind' for that.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -2/+26You should consider not storing the football up your ass during the whole of baseball season.
  • sphira, on 07/04/2008, -6/+27"we have been divided
    and we have been conquered..." - YEP

    Aurelio Peccei, Club of Rome founder and Committee of 300 member, in his book "The Chasm Ahead” writes about the Committee of 300’s plans to “tame” the common man whom he refers to as "The Enemy.” "Why should I concern myself with how many die? Even the Christian Bible says what is man that God should be mindful of him? For me men are nothing but a brain at one end and a ***** factory at the other." -Aurellio Peccei

    Some notable members of the Committee of 300 include: The British royal family, Dutch royal family, House of Hapsburg, House of Orange, Duke of Alba, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Carrington, Lord Halifax, Lord Alfred Milner, John Jacob and Waldorf of the Astor Illuminati bloodline, Winston Churchill, Cecil Rhodes, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Juliana, Queen Beatrix, Queen Magreta, King Haakon of Norway, Colonel Mandel House, Aldous Huxley, John Forbes, Averill Harriman, William and McGeorge Bundy, George Bush, Prescott Bush, Henry Kissinger, J.P. Morgan, Maurice Strong, David Rockefeller, David and Evelyn Rothschild, Paul, Max and Felix Warburg, Ormsby and Al Gore, Bertrand Russell, Sir Earnest and Harry of the Oppenheimer Illuminati bloodline, Warren Buffet, Giuseppe Mazzini, Sir William Hesse, George Schultz, H.G. Wells, and Ted Turner In the Committee of 300, which has a 150-year history, we have some of the most brilliant intellects assembled to form a completely totalitarian, absolutely controlled ‘new’ society only it isn't new, having drawn most of its ideas from the Clubs of Cultus Diabolicus. It strives toward a One World Government rather well described by one of its late members, H. G. Wells, in his work commissioned by the Committee which Wells boldly called: ‘The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution.’” -John Coleman, “Conspirators’ Hierarchy”

    Authors such as H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley were not speculating or warning of the future societies they wrote about. In fact they were often commissioned to write such “predictive programming” books based on the Committee’s actual plans. People read something like “A Brave New World” and create an imaginary science-fiction rift between their present reality and what seems like a possible future. Meanwhile, the royals, the Committee of 300, the elite pushers and movers incrementally implement measures toward those very controlled sci-fi societies.


  • Liqkhaos, on 07/05/2008, -0/+21He wants us to demand that all the people who are supposed to protect our Constitution actually do. So, does that mean we can call for the impeachment of all our Senators and Representatives too?
  • SolidEnder, on 07/05/2008, -1/+19I want everyone to remember why...they...need...us!
  • maxtangent, on 07/05/2008, -5/+21Notice how onetimer criticizes Kucinich, but will back Bush no matter what rights Bush tramples over.
    Two-faced ring a bell?
  • lazerus9, on 07/04/2008, -1/+16Divided Yes!....Conquered?...No!...
  • theiss, on 07/05/2008, -2/+17I love how these posts always include some derogatory name, in this case "Koo-Koo-Kucinich". Just shows off their brainwashed, group mentality.

    You know what? I can't stand Bush. Know what I call him? Bush.

    If you *really* want to be taken seriously, try talking like someone who doesn't have their eyeballs popping out of their head and spittle flying out of their mouth.
  • iamtenninjas, on 07/05/2008, -1/+14I was hoping this would be posted on Digg when I saw it yesterday and signed the petition.

    Dugg for real patriotism. (Not to devalue blowing ***** up.)
  • thrive868, on 07/05/2008, -1/+15Thank You.
  • NorthMass, on 07/05/2008, -2/+15I'm sick of these people trashing Kucinich and Ron Paul and calling them "kooky" when these guys actually have answers and actually have integrity. Then these same people will be whining about how Bush gets what ever he wants, the Dems are spineless, and gas prices are out of control. Sigh.
  • Stryder81, on 07/04/2008, -1/+14I'm sure it's to keep you posted on what exactly is going on.

    Remember that this is the internet age, the way they ask for your number it makes sense to ask for your e-mail.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -0/+12 America started good, but now is a kleptocracy.
  • UKLooney, on 07/05/2008, -1/+12The wolves have taken control of your country, your population have been brainwashed with propaganda that Goering would have been proud of. But hey, isn't Britney in rehab again?
    What comes around, goes around...
  • pintomp3, on 07/05/2008, -2/+13as opposed to the "rightists" who want to trample on the first and fourth amendments? the "rightists" who want to suspend habeas corpus? i've noticed you are also against ron paul. you seem to be against anyone who doesn't want to continue giving israel billions of dollars every year.
  • skinnyskittles, on 07/05/2008, -0/+10government can't fix the economy by legislating, they must delegislate
  • TinternAbbot, on 07/05/2008, -0/+11It took you an entire day to sign a petition?
  • metapop, on 07/05/2008, -1/+11maxtangent, here is what onetimer does- criticizes everyone and supports no one. his comment makes him sound like a ron paul supporter talking about not wanting to "socialize everything" or "trample over our second amendment rights"... yet during the ron paul glory days about 6 months ago, i fought many a comment battle with him on ron paul articles. this makes onetimer a troll... or perhaps he's seen the light about ron paul? (now that it's too late)
  • samuelmcm, on 07/05/2008, -2/+12IMPEACH HIM PLEASE!!! come on digg! spread the word!
  • leontes, on 07/05/2008, -3/+12In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
  • AGsilver, on 07/05/2008, -0/+9Some information from wiki:
    Kucinich voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, against the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and was one of six who voted against the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act.

    In 2005, he voted against the Iran Freedom and Support Act, calling it a "stepping stone to war"

    Kucinich has also strongly opposed space-based weapons and has sponsored legislation, HR 2977, banning the deployment and use of space-based weapons.

    Kucinich and Ron Paul are the only two congressional representatives who voted against the Rothman-Kirk Resolution, which calls on the United Nations to charge Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the genocide convention of the United Nations Charter based on statements that he has made.

    Kucinich held a press conference on the evening of April 24, 2007, revealing US House Resolution 333 and the three articles of impeachment against Cheney

    On September 29, 2004, he introduced H.R. 5155, the Free Market Drug Act; a system where the National Institutes of Health would fund research, thus disconnecting the manufacturing of drugs from research and increasing competition among private manufacturers.
  • mahsah, on 07/05/2008, -4/+12As a Libertarian (from Ohio), I can't say I agree with Kucinich on Gun Control, as well as some other issues, but I think that if America is destined to become more Socialist, he would be the one to do it with the least violations of Civil Liberties.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -0/+7http://impeachment.kucinich.us/petition/#
  • Corrosionx, on 07/05/2008, -3/+10There's no independance anymore. The United States have been reconquered by England and the Vatican about 100 years ago, they have put their central banks here and they have completely taken over the government.

    Where's that freedom you are supposed to be celebrating?
  • maxtangent, on 07/05/2008, -4/+10And here I thought I was being so nice by not pointing out onetimer's use of the 'Poisoning the Well' logical fallacy.

    Regardless, I may be mistaken about his Bush backing, but since I believed it to be true, I am not a liar:
    does it not seem Hypocritical of him to accuse me of lying when he purposely misrepresents the truth himself?

  • k3ndal1, on 07/05/2008, -2/+7Why not just make your webbernets moniker "MeatHead69". Is it the capital letters?
  • Corrosionx, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5Retards, moonbats.... come back with an argument.
  • lazerus9, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6Good post Sphira!

    Now that we know Peccei's s**t factory part of the human equation , lets work to get the brain half of humanity into positions of leadership!
  • inactive, on 07/05/2008, -1/+6It's not so much "most of the politicians today can only dream about" as much as what is invoked by your sentiment and ours -- It is an ongoing and vivid *nightmare* for most of them every night!
  • anamcara87, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5I'm not sure if the Senators or Representatives swear to protect and uphold the Constitution. If they do, then the answer is 'yes'.
  • JoanDark, on 07/06/2008, -2/+7I was delighted to sign this.Criminals should not be unpunished even if they DID weasle in to being POTUS.
    Go Dennis!
  • Corrosionx, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5Their government is hellbent on world domination. They had better keep their guns if they're going to take control of the government back.
  • carynyao, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5And what have you done to change thing?
  • anamcara87, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4The problem is getting other politicians to stand with them. One or two guys standing up for what is right won't accomplish anything if their colleagues continue to put their tails between their legs.
  • Jimmerz, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4It's just possible that if congress got off their asses and did something about Bush, as Kucinich suggests, everything else would follow and their approval ratings would go up. But they don't, and therein lies my contempt for them as a whole.
  • SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -1/+5" : )
  • themonkman, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4I don't know why people are digging you down. The 4th of July should be respected and called it's true name; Independence Day. It was the day that the world heard a shot that would echo through the course as history as a day the American People stood against the tyranny of Britain in lieu of insurmountable odds and almost self assured destruction for the Freedoms of which we hold closest to our hearts.
  • themonkman, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4You know, many said the same thing of those brave souls who stood with arms at Lexington and Concord and declared that no longer will the tyranny of Britain enslave the colonies of America. For you to stand here today and say that such men as Dennis Kucinich is a nutjob for demonstrating the same internal fortitude as those men discredits you as an American and disgraces the sacrifices of our forefathers and the commitment they made to our future generations to live in Peace and Freedom.
