1. In honest self-defense.

2. A last resort.

The Iraq war was neither—with or without

weapons of mass destruction. Let us wage

war only when it meets the criteria.

Aren’t you glad when the Republicans are in office, and not those “tax-&-spend” Democrats? Good for the party that doesn’t waste our tax dollars on welfare programs! Right?

You might be in for a surprise.

Watch the Oreo Cookie Cartoon

and see where your tax dollars

are REALLY going! 

Hint: They’re not going to cheating welfare queens.

If I were to recommend the most important 3 videos, ever, this little cartoon would probably be one of them.

Most of us have no idea how profitable war really is, or of the vast numbers who benefit from it. Every day of war generates huge profits, and our government has suggested, out loud, that we should expect to be in a perpetual state of war. That should tell us something....

For an astounding glimpse at the staggering numbers — and the ferociousness with which the profiteers of war scheme to get as much of it as possible —

rent or buy this riveting docu-mentary. You’ll never have blind trust in what we’re told again, after you see the facts of how and why wars and military involvements were started and managed in the past. Things are rarely as they appear—and it’s worse than you think. Way worse.

Eisenhower warned us.

We didn’t listen.

Editorial reviews on Amazon (excerpts):

The message here is that while there may be some who sincerely believe that America's various military engagements (in Iraq, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and elsewhere) since World War II are the product of our God-given duty to spread freedom and halt the influence of evil ideologies around the world, the real reason we fight is that war is good business. This is hardly a bulletin; anyone who is surprised by allegations that politicians pander to defense contractors, or that Vice President Dick Cheney helped secure huge deals for Halliburton, the company he formerly headed, simply hasn't been paying attention (Politicians lie? How shocking!). Why We Fight serves as a grim reminder that the world's most powerful nation has strayed far from the principles of our founding fathers, a development that does not bode well for America's future. --Sam Graham

Product Description. Why We Fight is the provocative new documentary, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Why We Fight surveys a half-century of military conflicts, asking how – and answering why – a nation of, by and for the people has become the savings-and-loan of a government system whose survival depends on an Orwellian state of constant war. Beginning with President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s prescient 1961 speech warning of the rise of the "military industrial complex," Why We Fight moves far beyond the headlines of various American military operations to the deeper questions of why America seemingly is always at war. What are the forces – political, economic, and ideological – that drive us to clash against an ever-changing enemy? Unforgettable, powerful and at times disturbing, Why We Fight on DVD will challenge viewers long after the last fade-out.

See exactly HOW fast your dollars fly into the bank accounts of those who profit from war—every second of every day of the year—year after year.

Powerful 30-second spot...

And finally... If you dare pose a threat to the pocketbooks of those who profit from war, expect to be crucified. Here’s the woman Bill O’Reilly and others call scum because she understands the definition of a just war—and lives by it:

How would YOU spend

$ 1/2 Billion

And to think, some ignorant people still buy the old diversionary Republican line that the reason their taxes are so high is because of some little old black lady cheating the welfare system. Get a grip!
