Has Anyone Seen Elvis Lately?

For those of you who don’t know Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), he’s the little dwarf who looks like a cult leader or some kind of mutant cross between a retarded human and a stalk of celery. As evidence, here is the text of HR. 2977 “Space Preservation Act Of 2001” which Congressman Kucinich introduced to ban weapons systems that, among other things could be used ...

It’s sort of a Congressional tinfoil hat for those who cannot afford tinfoil. Congressman Kucinich is definitely looking out for the conspiracy retards on the Left. These are the same people who believe Elvis is alive and well in Minnesota living in disguise. In a shared condo with Big Foot. And Jimmy Hoffa.

Now, Congressman Kook has decided to pull the plug on Iraq by simply cutting off all funding for the war, possibly leaving our troops to hitchhike their way home on their own. It’s really nothing new. The Democratically controlled Congress pulled the same stunt back in 1973 when they cut off all funds to support South Vietnam and threw the people there to the Commies. Some things never change, do they ...

Kucinich Calls for Cutting Off Iraq War Funds
“That’s the only way we’re going to end this war.”
_{(KUCINICH.US) - Nov 15, 2006}

Congressman Kucinich called Wednesday for cutting off funding of the Iraq war, as the surest way out of Iraq. His statements were made in an interview by Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman.

“I want to say that there’s one solution here, and it’s not to engage in a debate with the President, who has taken us down a path of disaster in Iraq, but it’s for Congress to assume the full power that it has under the Constitution to cut off funds. We don’t need to keep indulging in this debate about what to do, because as long as we keep temporizing, the situation gets worse in Iraq.

“We have to determine that the time has come to cut off funds. There’s enough money in the pipeline to achieve the orderly withdrawal that Senator McGovern is talking about. But cut off funds, we must. That’s the ultimate power of the Congress, the power of the purse. That’s how we’ll end this war, and that’s the only way we’re going to end this war. We need to shift our direction.”

“We have to take a whole new approach. We’re spending over $400 billion a year, money that’s also needed for healthcare, for education, for job creation, for seniors. We have to take a new look at this. We need to be a strong country, but strength isn’t only military. Strength is also the economic strength of the people, their chance to have good neighborhoods. We spend more money than all the countries of the world put together for the military.

“It’s time for us to start to shift our vision about who we are as a nation, because if we don’t do that—we’re borrowing money right now to wage the war in Iraq. We’re borrowing money from China. We’re not looking at our trade deficit. We’re not looking at conditions, where people are going bankrupt trying to pay their hospital bills. We need to shift our direction, and the direction has to be away from the continued militarization of the United States society.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
