Their kingdom is imploding

Christopher Hitchens and and Richard “the Prince of Darkness” Perle attack Bush as an incompetent while Dick Armey slams ultra-Right preacher James Dobson. This is beyond mere dissension in the ranks, this is a machine that is self-destructing.
Meanwhile, on KPFK yesterday, constitutional lawyer Stephen Rhode said a Democratic House means John Conyers, who supports impeachment of Bush, will head the Judicial Committee and will have subpoena power and the ability to hold hearings. This could be a seriously big deal.
Hands across the water

Andrew Sullivan is a well-known conservative Christian who blogs for Time Magazine. While formerly he backed Bush and the war(s), he now sees how he and other conservatives were lied to, how the Religious Right has attempted to jack religion for its own political ends, and how the Iraq war was wrong with the justifications based on falsehoods.
He explores, both in his blog and in his new book “The Conservative Soul. How we lost it. How to get it back” precisely these issues. He is particularly good in confronting the lies and fanaticism of the Religious Right because he knows the territory and is a person of faith himself. He’s also openly gay and often confronts homophobia from the Right.
In a recent post “The Anger of Liberals” he says, yes, conservatives and the Left have common ground, that while we certainly disagree on some things, on the madness of the neocons, we are united. I completely agree.
Kill for peace

Kill, kill, kill for peace
Near or middle or very far east
Far or near or very middle east
Kill, kill, kill for peace
If you don’t like the people
or the way that they talk
If you don’t like their manners
or they way that they walk,
Kill, kill, kill for peace
