MOORPARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2005--"Enough is enough!" said Delores Taylor, alongside her husband, Tom Laughlin (Billy Jack). The quintessential activist heroine and hero of the 1970's are back with a vengeance. They are determined to end the war in Iraq, by restoring America to her moral purpose, before subway terrorists possess nuclear weapons in suitcases.

To reveal this new exciting exit plan, Laughlin will be holding a press conference at Peace House located at 9142 5th Street, Crawford, Texas, on Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 1 p.m. (CT).

"This plan is a win/win situation for the Iraqi people, and especially for every American -- Republican, Democrat or Independent. Over 87% of 174 voters strongly approved this plan, including 61% who were Republican or initially favored the war," said Laughlin.

Not affiliated with either political party, Taylor and Laughlin are inviting the public to join them in a crusade to end the war and diffuse the escalating nuclear crisis.

Outraged at the daily deaths of American soldiers as well as innocent Iraqi civilians, and in support of Cindy Sheehan's courageous stand, they have created a never-before-seen comprehensive seven-month campaign with five separate major national events. The goal is to make America and the world fully aware that there exists an immediately available exit plan to end the war, give genuine peace, freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people, and bring our troops home by Christmas.

"Peace on earth, was all it said..."

4. Let's post all the lyrics...

for those younguns out there. :)

From "The Legend of Billy Jack"
One Tin Soldier

Listen children to a story
that was written long ago
Bout a kingdom on a mountain
and the valley far below
On the mountain was a treasure,
buried deep beneath the stone
And the valley people swore
they'd have it for their own.

So go ahead and hate your neighbor,
go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgment day
But on the bloody morning after,
one tin soldier rides away.

So the people from the valley
sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure,
tons of gold for which they'd kill
Came an answer from the kingdom,
"with our brothers we will share
All the secrets of the mountain,
all the riches buried there."

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses,
draw your swords"
And they killed the mountain people,
so they won their just rewards
Now they stood beside the treasure,
on the mountain,
dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
"Peace on earth" was all it said.

7. my daughter's favorite song

she broke up her band because the freeper guitarist refused to let her sing it.

lesson learned: state your philosophy before you let people in your band!

14. As usual, Johnny Cash was right....

There once was a musical troupe
A pickin' singin' folk group
They sang the mountain ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability
Folks thought they would go far
But political incompatibility led to their downfall
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear was a Methodist
This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
Singing the traditional ballads
And the folk songs of our land
They performed with great virtuosity
And soon they were the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license
Well the curtain had ascended
A hush fell on the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear The folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously
And that night at the concert hall
As the audience watched deliriously
They had a free-for-all
Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear, said, Oh dear
Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
Just work on harmony and diction
Play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourself
Now, the one on the left works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The one on the right's an all-night deejay
And the guy in the rear got drafted

19. yes, he was right !

the freeper got more and more domineering ...he ( and his wife ) were much older and fundies to boot, got more and more controlling.

Underneath his mano-a-mano posturing (“Bring ‘em on!”) Bush is a deeply insecure, frightened little man possessed by a Messianic Complex with all its delusions and fantasies as a compensation to his lifelong fear he’d never be the man his father was. Bush, a “Mama’s Boy,” was called “The Chosen One,” through his childhood by his mother.

Bush’s irrational refusal to ease the nuclear tension and negotiate one-on-one with North Korea until Jong Il caves into his demands is a result of Bush’s deep-seated need to prove his manhood – escalating, not lessening, the world’s danger.

Need for Mainstream 3rd Party
“All eyes are open to the rights of Man …no Man was born marked by God above another; for none comes into the world with a saddle on his back, and no one comes into the world booted and spurr’d to ride him …”

-- Not a Fringe Party

“ … we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence … by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.”
