I am proud to be an American. American I will die. Land of the free! Free to speak when we are not happy with things that are being done by our politicians. There is no other place I would rather be. But I can still be mad at what they do and say!

"A note to the right-wingers who enjoy sending us hate mail -- we're happy to read your comments, and sometimes we even respond, but to save time, here are our responses to some of the most frequent comments/questions: 1. Bush is not the president. 2. We will never get over the stolen elections of 2000 and 2004. 3. We do not support Bush; we think he's a warmongering, lying fool. 4. We love our country. 5. We're not leaving. 6. We won't shut up. 7. We want our troops to come home. 8. There is no evidence connecting Saddam Hussein to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. 9. We probably know more about what's going on than you do, so accusing us of being ignorant just causes us to laugh at you. 10. The next time someone makes a payment for a vulgar sticker that doesn't exist, we are sending the money to charity rather than refunding it. You have to be some kind of stupid to give money to people with whom you disagree. "
Please note that no one will ever pry your email address from our flaming liberal fingers, not even if Minister of Justice John Ashcroft himself comes down from on high and demands we hand it over in the name of Homeland Security and threatens us with ninety-nine years of torture consisting of being hung by our ankles while a taped rendition of Bush trying to pronounce 'coup d'etat' is played repeatedly at ear-shattering volume. In other words, we're not going to sell it, or use it to send you spam. And we won't send updates often; only once a month or so.

National Security [Monday, 15 August 2005]
American taxpayers expect the federal government to provide national security. Achieving that security is a constant and complicated challenge that cannot be met by military might alone. A sound national security policy involves three broad strategies: preventive measures such as securing nuclear materials abroad and participating in multi-lateral diplomatic and peacekeeping operations; homeland security such as providing port security and coordinating emergency first responders; and the military.
Currently, federal spending on these three strategies is heavily weighted toward military operations. In fiscal year 2005, as shown in the graph, almost nine dollars was spent on the military for every dollar spent on all other non-military security tools combined. In order to better understand how our tax dollars are spent within and beyond our borders, this section of our website offers a wealth of information about spending on the three strategies outlined above as well as related topics. You can click on a map to find out where our dollars go around the world, view graphs to see spending comparisons between the U.S. and other countries, or find out how much homeland security spending goes to your state. You can also read short briefs in the making connections section to learn more about national security terms and their definitions, or read more about an alternative national security proposal that would create better and more cost-effective security.
