His voice is a lot louder than it has to be, in such confined quarters. George's Press Conference Watching and listening to George answering questions in the informal briefing room at the White House is a very strange experience. The similarities between the Bush regime and Hitler's Nazi Party are all too numerous and frightening in their implications. One of the reasons the U.S. was voted off the UN human rights commission was because it would not embrace the international moratorium on the death penalty. The impending McVeigh execution, which is a federal execution, hangs like a banner next to the American flag.

The Despicable Lie of Conservative 'Liberty' Conservative President George W. Bush announced his intention to pursue Federal rights of eminent domain over private property. Eminent domain, for those of you who wisely skipped law school, is the process by which a government lays hands upon private property for its own uses, paying fair value for whatever they take. Such an action is done on the state level, is reserved for 'dire' necessities such as the building of highways or prisons, and is rarely used.
