| Latest Commentary by Chuck Zlatkin RIGHT IS WRONG PRESENTS THE ZLATKIN LETTER Dems and GOP Run Out the Clock Together August 1, 2008 · by Chuck Zlatkin The Republicans aren't content with the bi-partisan effort to run out the clock on impeachment. Soon the Bush-Cheney cabal will be home free. The oil mob will continue to extort runaway profits from a cowed American electorate. The War machine will continue to continue to sacrifice innocent lives to the gods of power and profit. It is all made possible by the so-called Democratic Party's capitulation to corporate control. In exchange for our jobs, our future, our desire for peace and the health of the planet we are given the myth of Barack Obama. But that isn't enough, they have to rub our noses in it. Yes, they can attempt to censure Charles Rangel. Don't get me wrong, Rangel probably deserves censure. But what do Bush, Cheney, Rove and the rest of the cabal deserve? The feckless, corrupt Democratic leadership that controls the supposed opposition party, laughs in your face. Impeachment is off the table. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in the history of the United States will skate free because of the support and cover of the Democratic Party. What will it take for you to stand up and say, "No More!" I can't answer that for you. But as long as you can rationalize supporting Democrats because the Republicans are worse we can never change the course to our destruction. Okay now, you can explain to me why, if the choice for our leadership was between Hitler and Mussolini, you would have to vote for Benito because of the Supreme Court. I'm sorry to be harsh. But my heart is broken because we cannot stand together and say that if you can't impeach Bush-Cheney we can no longer vote for you. See More Commentary in our Archives Now Available |

| About Right is Wrong When Right is Wrong! began in July of 1999 it was done out of a sense of frustration. The major media, either by design or incompetence, had refused to report on the rapid rise of the right throughout the world. In addition, right wing groups were using the Internet to spread their messages. Voices presenting alternative views to this right wing barrage were few and far between. Right is Wrong! was dedicated to tracking the right in all its guises. News of the militia movement, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, anti-abortion thugs, union busters, gay bashers, misogynists, racists, anti-Semites, and fascists were featured each day both on the web site and in a daily e-mail digest. With the theft of the presidential election of 2000 and the horror of 9-11 a change of focus gradually took place. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the consolidation of ownership in all of the media were beginning to bear fruit for the forces of evil. The media was no longer asking key questions after 9-11. The Patriot Act, Homeland Security, and the rush to war in Iraq were steamrolled through with little real debate in the media. The primary threat to freedom was internal. Right Is Wrong! began to feature news and analysis from new sources. Lines seemed to become blurred. Some sources from the left were shying away from asking important questions, while sources from the right were not. It became abundantly clear that no source was "pure." Each story had to be judged on its merits regardless of its source. Information was being unearthed by both right wing and left wing sources while that very same news was being "ignored" by the mainstream. The search for the truth is a tough one. It means asking the hard questions. It means examining the words and deeds of those you have grown comfortable with over the years as well as those you have learned to despise. There are no sacred cows. Looking for connections leads us to seeing some horrific truths. We all would love to have faith in our leaders. But recent events force us to look for the big picture. And as we delve into what has really caused recent events, Right is Wrong! has developed a real problem with "coincidence" theorists. It is unknown who first coined the coincidence theorist phrase first, but whether it was Michael Parenti, John Judge or someone else, the fact remains that the search for truth brings us beyond coincidence. Right Is Wrong! is not about being a liberal or leftist alternative. Right Is Wrong! is about searching for the truth, wherever that quest may take us. | |
