Tavis Smiley out as Peoria MLK luncheon speaker
a local book club of women said that they were to boycott the luncheon because Smiley has been critical of Smiley's views of Obama not doing enough for the black community. I, for one am tired of blacks crying about the government not doing enough for them. They get college tuitions just for being black which the rest of America pays for. They get jobs just for being black. Tavis Smiley has long been a proponent of blacks. Martin Luther King was a propenent of civil rights and the freedom of speech, not of Obama being president. Peoria has staind itself by telling Smiley he cannot speak here after they invited him here. Smiley will rightfully throw Peoria a black eye...http://www.pjstar.com/news/x2023109848/Smiley-out-as-speaker-for-Peoria-MLK-luncheon

Experiments on U.S. human beings
This is the reason we should not call ourselves the Land of the Free. Experimenting on our own people. Do you remember Germany in the 30's? How are we tolerating this?

War Criminals are War Criminals
Charles Taylor GWBush not too long ago ordered torture and admitted to doing so. Torture is a crime against humanity. The U.S. has refused to prosecute him. Is he above the law? Where is the fairness in that? 
Former Liberian President and convicted war criminal of similar crimes to our ex=president.

Saying that America could have plotted the coincidences that have sprung up with S. American leaders.
Very plausible I say given our track record.

Guatemala
U.S. researchers in the 1940's did an experiment on Guatemalans that exposed them to sexually transmitted diseases unknowingly to assess the effects of penicillon. Our government created an Act to supercede the Nuremburg Trials, International Law, and the Geneva Conventions to protect itself so that we can circumvent prosecution although we uphold every other country, (excluding allies such as Britain, Isreal, and others when the time is right), to International laws. This is not good PR for a country that touts the motto "The Land of the Free".

Noam Chomsky told us that the US does this and the world always complains. But we are the lone superpower so we flaunt our stuff. This is the source of terrorism against us.

Yemen
Then there is our influence on the other countries of the world. When we dont get what we want and the peoples of the countries we have stuck our nose into rebel, we try to cover our losses and bathe in secrecy our influence...

Progressive Society

What happened to NASA
Scientists to hold bake sale for NASA. After all the tax dollars we've spent on NASA they've finally been downsized. They are holding a Bake Sale Protest. Not much progress over many years equals public disinterest. You would think that they could have became self sustaining by now, but relying on gov't funds your whole life makes you complacent. And then it killed you.
NASA is dying
Private Sector to take over. With all the over-budgeting, it is time to put NASA to rest. Thanks for all you have done, but the rich private-sector is more able and not a bureaucracy.

Illinois Taxing

Blago
His lawyers are asking for him to be put in drug program. Never has it been mentioned that he had a drug problem. Methinks he is still trying to abuse the system.

The government in Illinois raised business taxes. Now they are figuring out how to keep the big businesses in the state. Ofcourse they are giving tax breaks to the big businesses that don't need breaks, and the small businesses that are struggling keep struggling while watching the big dogs get their breaks...

East Peoria
I don't get why taxpayers pay tax$ to businesses just to pay later and pay them again to get thier products..
why would you choose to pay $ to a business to choose your town and then pay a tax to buy their products? You are dumber than dumb East Peoria.

Project 2011
...has turned into Project 2013. no shit change the ledgerheads.

American Secrecy At War

America experiments on its people much like the Nazi's
America does malicious secret experiments around the globe. It also does them on its own citizens. They have no moral high-ground. It in no way should be exempt from International Law. We should be in International Court many times over. When tyrants are overthrown and face Internaional Trials, they are right, America does this same stuff too.
Secret experiments conducted on US citizens

Forefathers
Foreigners grumble about how America sticks it's dirty nose into other country's business. and they are right. We should have listened to George Washington's Farewell Speech

Terrorists
If they were not already terrorists, they are now. Islamist terrorists are borne in the Iraq war. The foreigners came to Iraq when we invaded and were drawn there when we invaded. They are likely to leave and breed more. They will go back to their country and incite the youngers of their country. If they were not radical before, they will be just like their older brethren.
