We Must Have Patience ...Barbra Streisand Posted on November 8, 2004 In response to the results of the Presidential election last week, I would like to share with you a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Although written in 1798, I feel his words speak perfectly to the strong sentiments of frustration and disappointment 48% of the country feel.
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt......If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IS THIS THE MAN YOU THINK WILL KEEP YOU SAFE? ...Barbra Streisand Posted on October 26, 2004 IS THIS THE MAN YOU THINK WILL KEEP YOU SAFE?...
1. BUSH IGNORED THE ADVICE OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION REGARDING THE URGENT THREAT OF AL QAEDA.
2. BUSH IGNORED THE HART-RUDMAN COMMISSION TERRORISM REPORT, WHICH OUTLINED A RANGE OF U.S. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES.
3. BUSH FAILED TO GET OVER 100,000 HOURS OF VALUABLE TERRORISM-RELATED TAPINGS TRANSLATED BY LINGUISTS AT THE F.B.I, A FULL 3 YEARS AFTER 9/11. IN FACT, JOHN ASHCROFT REFUSED TO ENDORSE FBI REQUESTS FOR $58 MILLION FOR NEW COUNTERTERRORISM FIELD AGENTS, TRANSLATORS AND INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS.
4. BUSH HELD NO FACE TO FACE MEETINGS WITH HIS TERRORISM CHIEF RICHARD CLARK AND NEITHER DID DICK CHENEY WHO WAS HEAD OF THE TERRORISM TASK FORCE.
5. BUSH CONTINUED HIS VACATION ON THE DAY HE RECEIVED A BRIEFING ABOUT THE IMPENDING ATTACK ON AMERICA.
6. KNOWING ABOUT THE IMPENDING HIJACKINGS, BUSH DID NOTHING TO BEEF UP AIRLINE SECURITY.
7. BUSH'S ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOHN ASHCROFT, TOLD THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I. TO NOT TELL HIM ANYTHING MORE ABOUT TERRORISM.
8. BUSH WAS INACTIVE AND INDECISIVE FOR A FULL 7 MINUTES THE MORNING OF 9/11 WHEN INFORMED OF THE ATTACK ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. IF BUSH HAD ACTED QUICKLY AND INTELLIGENTLY, PERHAPS HE COULD HAVE GIVEN AN ORDER TO SHOOT DOWN THE PLANE HEADED TOWARD THE PENTAGON AND SAVED THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO WERE KILLED.
9. BUSH INVADED IRAQ WITH THE RATIONALE OF IMAGINARY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND IGNORED THE REAL THREAT IN AFGHANNISTAN. NOW WE HAVE A TERRORIST BREEDING GROUND IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND OSAMA BIN LADEN AND ABU MUSSAB AL-ZARQAWI, A RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST, RUNNING FREE.
10. BUSH IGNORED THE ADVICE OF THE GENERALS IN THE MILITARY WHO PROVED TO BE RIGHT.
11. BUSH OPPOSED THE CREATION OF A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
12. BUSH OPPOSED THE CREATION OF THE 9/11 COMMISSION.
13. MORE THAN 3 YEARS LATER, OUR BORDERS, PORTS, AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE STILL NOT SECURE.
14. BUSH SUPPRESSED THE RELEASE OF A CIA REPORT THAT LAYS BLAME UPON HIGH-LEVEL PEOPLE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOBS IN A SATISFACTORY MANNER BEFORE 9/11.
15. BUSH FAILED TO SECURE NEARLY 400 TONS OF KNOWN, DEADLY EXPLOSIVES IN IRAQ, AND NOW THEY MAY FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS TO BE USED TO BLOW UP AIRPLANES, LEVEL BUILDINGS AND DETONATE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
IF BUSH HAD DONE ANY OF THESE THINGS, WE WOULD BE A SAFER MORE SECURE COUNTRY TODAY AND POSSIBLY COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE TRAGEDY OF 9/11.
IS THIS THE MAN YOU THINK WILL KEEP YOU SAFE?...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Republican Strategy ...Barbra Streisand Posted on October 25, 2004 I am posting a link to this video to show what Democrats are up against in this election campaign. The Republican strategy to spread fear and darkness as a means to scare the public into voting for them is exemplified in this short video.

Arf Arf!
Anyone wish she'd just SHUT UP AND SING?
Can we get a "Barf Alert" added to this, please?
Sounds like Babar needs a high colonic.
LOL! This is hillarious. She quotes Jefferson just like some of our "true" conservatives do!
I do not even want to hear her sing anymore? Just go away Babs.
Barbara Streisan...SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Sorry I drifted off.
Barbar........SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Ah forget it.
Did Barbra finish high school?
I dont even want her to sing! She should just shut up entirely.
no just,,,,shut up!
There are better singers than BaWa.
Sorry, but I'll give ten bucks that is NOT Thomas Jefferson.
BS lies again! Holy cats! Pack her off to France and do it soon!
Why does Drudge insist on posting everything she says/writes? Nobody cares. Makes you wonder if he owns all her albums.
Hey Barbra, suck it up and move on.
16. STREISAND HAS A STUCK CAPS LOCK KEY!
It's so funny to hear Barbara Streisand quoting from one of the authors of the Constitution. It would be like George Bush digging for a favorable quote from Karl Marx.
Barf alert is redundant with 'Streisand' in the title.
Well, I kinda like her singing show stuff.
She does it well, IMO.
Her politics sucks.
But she can sing. I won't take that away from her.
