Note: There is simply too much material on Barbra Streisand to print here. Virtually every word that comes out of her mouth is idiocy. Fortunately for us, her ego has driven her document much of her rantings on her web site for all to view. You can go to the official Barbra Streisand web site for some hilarious reading.
Also, for a good background on Babs, read an expose by Thomas Clough.
Let's Not Make the Terrorists Mad...
Quote
"The War on Terrorism has not been as successful as President Bush has stated, and he is feeling pressure to do something, even if that something has nothing to do with actually fighting terrorism! The Bush administration thinks they can fool us into thinking they have the terrorism situation under control by going after Saddam, when all they are doing is exacerbating the problem by creating more outrage against the United States from potential terrorists."

OH MY GOD! The Republicans Are Coming!
Quote
“If the Republicans end up with control of the presidency, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the federal courts, there will not be any check on the power of the right wing. The result would be devastating for reproductive choice, the environment, civil liberties, Social Security and health care, as well as corporate accountability. Republicans are about protecting the corporations while Democrats are about protecting people.”

Only For the Common People
Streisand had urged her fans to save energy by using less gas, setting air conditioners at 78 degrees, handing laundry outside and so on, Yet she uses SUV’s, limos and private jets, air conditions an unoccupied 16 room apartment and of course does not hang her laundry. When questioned about this, her spokesperson said:

"She never meant that it necessarily applied to her."

What a Clever Girl
At a democratic fundraiser before held before the 2002 Elections, Streisand sang this version of “The Way We Were:”
Quote
“So on
Next Election Day I Pray
That the Country Will Deliver,
A House Without Tom Delay!
We Need a Team Change
A Definite Regime Change.
Oh, That Would Be a Dream Change
From the Way We Are.”
Next Election Day I Pray
That the Country Will Deliver,
A House Without Tom Delay!
We Need a Team Change
A Definite Regime Change.
Oh, That Would Be a Dream Change
From the Way We Are.”
According to Reuters: During this song, Streisand said she found Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney 'frightening,’ adding:
Quote
'I find bringing the country to the brink of war unilaterally five weeks before an election frightening.’"
Quote
"I don't particularly enjoy performing on stage but I'd do practically anything to help the Democrats win the House."
Even exaggerate, Barbra?

Nostalgia is a Form of Depression
The democratic fundraiser version of her song, Memories:
Quote
Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor mem'ries
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the house we left behind
Lovely democratic mem'ries
Of the way we were
Unprecedented growth in the economy.
The dow was up, the deficit was down.
As long as democrats were the majority,
I could sleep nights,
Not weep nights.
People
See their savings slip away
As they feel the world around them
Become more fright'ning ev'ry day.
Mis'ries,
Seems that's all that fills the news,
Blame the fellas in the white house
For the way we are
It's no wonder
We all sing those texas blues
It's that too-far-to-the right house
And the way we are.
Global warming? Don't believe a word of it
And what's a drop of arsenic or two?
Saving medicare? They never heard of it.
To them, health care
Is wealth care
So on
Next election day i pray
That the country will deliver,
A house without tom delay!
We need a team change
A definite regime change.
Oh, that would be a dream change
From the way we are.
So, in november,
Let's make the congress
A democratic congress
The way we were
The way we were!
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor mem'ries
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the house we left behind
Lovely democratic mem'ries
Of the way we were
Unprecedented growth in the economy.
The dow was up, the deficit was down.
As long as democrats were the majority,

Funny Girl Duped
To make her case to not go to war against Iraq, Streisand extensively quoted what she thought was Shakespeare, not realizing that the words were not from Shakespeare, but instead an internet hoax.
Quote
"You know, really good artists have a way of being relevant in their time… but great artists are relevant at anytime. So, in the words of William Shakespeare,
'Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind…And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.'"
"Imagine that was written over 400 years ago… It's amazing how history without consciousness is destined to repeat itself. So…from the words of William Shakespeare to the words of Irving Berlin…"

“It was just called to my attention, but it does not detract form the fact that it is powerful and true and beautifully written. Whoever write it is damn talented. I hope he’s writing his own play.”

Republicans Mean-Spirited?
She only thinks the political debate used to be civilized because things went her way for eight years. Now, that the Republicans are in control, she and her friends have gone nuts and have taken away any class and eloquence she speaks of. And, look who's talking about name-calling and being mean-spirited?
Quote
"It used to be in politics that there was a certain amount of class and eloquence. The debate was civilized even though there were strong disagreements over deeply important questions. But, as usual, the Republicans have resorted to name-calling and mean-spiritedness."

Bush cares more for millionaires than children
Quote
'It has long been understood that the only way to create a fair society is to give each child an equal chance at success ... The Bush administration understands this rhetoric, and even stole the Children Defense Fund's 'Leave No Child Behind' motto for last year's education bill. However, as the Children Defense Fund's website points out, Bush's policies would more appropriately be entitled, 'Leave No Millionaire Behind.' Bush has done more than any president in our history to ensure that poor children never rise out of poverty."

Believe Dan Rather and Arrest The President...
Quote
Dan Rather was castigated by the media for airing the Bush National Guard story before completely verifying one document. As we have known for years, the details of Bush's service record offered in the story were true, as Killian's secretary even verified, although the document presented in the piece is in question. Men who served in Bush's unit for the year he claimed he was in the National Guard, have stated on record that they do not remember seeing him there.
Dan Rather's error didn't hold a candle to the seriousness of the lies and lives lost by entering into an unnecessary war. One's actions are a little sloppy - the other's actions are high crimes and misdemeanors.

Conservative Media Journalists are fearful of losing their Jobs...
Quote
Despite all the claims of pushing a biased liberal agenda by the press, the Republicans have managed to win five out of the last seven Presidential elections, and this year continue to strengthen their control of the congress. Their success undoubtedly is due in part to the fact that reporters on major networks have become so fearful of either losing their job or being deemed biased, they have relinquished their journalistic responsibility to hold our leaders accountable.
