Quote:
"I remember the stolen presidential election of 2000 and I am willing to take action in 2004 if the election is stolen again. I support efforts to protect the right to vote leading up to and on Election Day, November 2nd. If that right is systematically violated, I pledge to join nationwide protests starting on November 3rd, either in my community, in the states where the fraud occurred, or in Washington DC."

Related: ... The president got re-elected by dividing the country along fault lines of fear, intolerance, ignorance and religious rule. He doesn't want to heal rifts; he wants to bring any riffraff who disagree to heel...

Related: ...Surveys of voters leaving the polls found that a majority believed the national economy was not so good, that tax cuts had done nothing to help it and that the war in Iraq had jeopardized national security. But fully one-fifth of voters said they cared most about "moral values" - as many as cared about terrorism and the economy - and 8 in 10 of them chose Mr. Bush... (if they think Bush is moral they are just too stupid to vote)
Related: ...We've now begun a real debate in this country over what the most important "religious issues" are in politics, and that discussion will continue far beyond this election...

(I am very disturbed by the way the people of my country voted yesterday. They voted to reelect a liar. They voted for greed. For more death. To continue to build our consumer-manic way of life on the backs of the poor of the world - and worse set us as the example of what other nations should strive for. The voters of the U.S.A did this because they believe he was the right man to lead, a moral man and godly man even though all the evidence is to the contrary. They value his values, approve of what he has done and trust him to continue to do more of the same - and this is the most troubling part of all. What does this say about my country? What does this say about me when I so deeply oppose those values, his leadership, those morals, their God and their vision of America the environment and the world? Maybe this is no longer my country. Gone over to the believers no matter what the facts are.)

Related: ... One of the group's biggest targets has been the Patriot Act, which was adopted in the days after the attacks and grants investigators vast access to information. Time and again, the ACLU has challenged the measure on grounds it violates free speech and privacy rights... Several things are being tried to get more people involved. The Web site has been revamped. A political art contest is in the works...

...The Republic has not always been kept, but it has always been restored. But now, as fear is increasingly exploited as a political strategy, as the erosion of basic rights and freedoms is concealed in deceptively appealing garments of beneficence, and as America's children are indoctrinated into believing the Bill of Rights is more mythical than real, the end of the Republic may indeed be near...

...My friends have sent emails from across the nation, around the world. People are aghast. Does this mean the American people continue to mandate this Administration's policies, even as the coffins return home, and thousands are buried, nameless to us, in Iraq's imploding streets? Does this mean we really don't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks? What will happen to our American progressives and activists? What about Palestine, Sudan, North Korea?... [(must) READ]

...America didn't act out its most vocal artists' desires in election 2004, but art, and politics, are forever changed and made closer by their efforts. And that is a victory, for art, politics and America...

...Political Bohemian Rhapsody... (laughed yesterday, nothing laughable today)

11.03.04
...I think that even though he writes about politics that we're not really a "political band." Some of our songs deal with the wars within us. All of us have a keen interest in current events, history, media and so forth. We discuss these things with each other, our friends and read and research things that interest us. So while this election is something we're aware of, I don't think it specifically influences what we write. Matt: I think Stacey has it right. I'm a very politically oriented person, so those themes show up frequently in my lyrics. I try not to be too overt about it, because it's very easy for political art to become preachy or pedantic, but at the same time I don't want to suppress anything. I think Leonard Cohen is one of the best lyricists in this respect, because he occasionally carries broad political themes, often with the turn of a single devastating phrase, into his otherwise very personal, intimate songs, to great effect. Seth: We learned "Paradise City" for one of the No Vote Left Behind benefits, so if we sound more like G N' R now, the blame lies squarely with Bush. ...

Title: Liberty takes a holiday
...The weeks prior to the election have spawned an outpouring of political sentiment among D.C. artists. But some museum patrons deemed the exhibit's hostility towards the current administration unpatriotic and unsuitable for viewers. "This lady came in and she and her daughters had Cheney and Bush stickers all over, and she said to me, 'You people do terrible things to the American flag here,'" said John Aaron, Curator of Arlington's Museum of Modern ARF. "I think we do beautiful things to the American flag here."... [MUSEUM]

Do you know this quote?
"...Winston sat in his usual corner, gazing into an empty glass. Now and again he glanced up at a vast face which eyed him from the opposite wall. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption said. Unbidden, a waiter came and filled his glass up with Victory Gin, shaking into it a few drops from another bottle with a quill through the cork. It was saccharine flavoured with cloves, the speciality of the cafe. Winston was listening to the telescreen. At present only music was coming out of it, but there was a possibility that at any moment there might be a special bulletin from the Ministry of Peace..." [QUOTE]
