The House, of course, voted to sink $37 billion -- that's thirty-seven thousand million dollars -- more into maintaining the Empire's evil operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Seventy more Democrats than last time voted against the spending. Twelve Republicans did too. (More Republicans than Democrats voted for the bill.) At that pace U.S. forces will be killing Afghans and Iraqis for another two years.
“The president is taking a wise and balanced approach in Afghanistan, and it deserves our support,” said Representative Steny H. Hoyer, the Maryland Democrat and majority leader.
Do people still buy this shit?
Where is the pro-peace, anti-Empire party? When will Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich get together and begin to rally antiwar folks across the political spectrum? The time is now!

Raimondo has a great piece about the lack of a contemporary anti-war coalition. It's incredibly frustrating that, even after nine years of war, there is no populist anti-war movement.
I would SO go for something like that if it existed.
Thus far it seems to brand you a kook. But I wouldn't mind being a kook if only I had company.
