#45 Mr. Fusion. Wow, thats quite a mouthful coming from a socialist / fascist / humanist. You’re obviously a product of public education / conditioning that include many of the universities in this country. You obviously have issues, I’d have issues too if I’d spent years in public conditioning. Let me help you out a little. Why don’t you read the Constitution of the united States. Perhaps you could find a commentary written by a patriot, prior to 1933.

I think that surely dispels
As I said, you don’t think, you’ve been conditioned. Now, I know you ego is trying to cope with what I just said. I’ll prove it, answer the following question.

Question: Do you don’t know the difference between the following?

1. united States
2. United States
3. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

#35, Stars and Bars.

You have adequately demonstrated you hate the US of A. You are a traitor. You support those who would tear our country apart. I think that surely dispels any fucking right you might have had to make an argument.

Not to mention you’re pretty effen stupid. You don’t even have a clue to America’s entry into either World War or the Korean war. Check out Wikipedia, I don’t have the time to waste educating effen traitors.

Wow, what an amazing read. You posters are for the most part, a bunch of really screwed up heads, I won’t say minds as I saw little evidence any had one.

If Bush Jr. has done anything, He has reinstilled the fact that “anybody” can be President.

#42- Pressing the button takes more hand eye coordination than i think he has, so, I’m not worried bout dat

I remember a poll in the mainstream Age newspaper (Melbourne, Oz) asking people to choose which who was the greatest threat to world peace. The choices included North Korea, al qaeda, USA, Germany, Britain, Israel and several others. 34%, by far the most popular choice by the 10,000 or so voters, chose the USA.

This is the effect that Bush has had on world perception of the USA. I shudder to think the man who has the launch codes cant pronounce ‘nuclear’.

40–Post 8 and 12 do not advocate voting for party but like you advocate looking at the candidate. Both say Ron Paul is not a good candidate for the reasons stated, party affiliation not being one of them.

39. I will vote for the best man for the job and I dont care about party affiliation, and if that means green, indie, whatever. I vote on issues, fools vote for party.

37. Like Ann Coulter? Maybe in gender only. Whew thats a stretch. I am not 100% sold on the guy, but against the other candidates Dem or Repub, the only one that seems to be facing the real truth about our countrys present situation and why we are where we are. Instead of the same old fear mongering we get from the pack. We need a REAL change.

36—that is consistent with what I have read–ie, that he is against abortion, but that was all he said in the exchange I read. Yes, he is like Ann Coulter in that respect. Have to actually listen to what they say and not go knee-jerk first chance one gets.

31. bobbo- actually, he believes it should be left up to the states, as I do. And he is a libertarian running as a Republican. But unlike any Republican/ libertarian/politician I have seen, and a breath of fresh air.

#33 Rob R The wars I selected (rather biasedly)

The point, which you seemed to have missed was that Democrats or Neo-cons (ex-liberal democrats) are the ones responsible for getting us in every war since the civil war. I’m no fan of Bush 43 or 41, Truman, F. D. Roosevelt or dishonest Abe.

Regarding you history lesson, there are a few points you missed.
1.What was the Lusitania carrying? Hint, it was more than passengers. The Germans places ads in U.S. Newspapers warning the public that any ship carrying arms was a target.
2.Pearl Harbor didn’t happen out of the blue. The U.S. Cut off supplies of fuel to Japan and put them in a corner. In other words, they were provoked. Much like the South was provoked by the North to fire the first shot at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.

It is worth noting that the United States was committed to England and France long before Pearl Harbor via the massive selling of war bonds. Guess who made a fortune by selling those bonds to the public. J.D. Rockefeller. Guess who always gets rich when there is as war going on?

Party may not matter but ideology matters. Rob, don’t let the labels throw you. If it is socialist or fascist, it’s bad for liberty.

If elected I promise too

1.) Re-direct the Trillion dollars we are spending in the IRAQ to Alternative Energy
2.) Require competitive bidding for superscription coverage
3.) One Heck of a GI Bill
4.) Support FAIR business competition. In order for any business (foreign or domestic) to retain access to USA markets, if they directly or indirectly use over seas labor, require they adhere to USA labor and environmental laws.
5.) FIX FEMA
6.) Rename the defense Department to the WAR DEPARTMENT
7.) Require a DRAFT for any oversea military campaign
8.) Require a 16 ft concrete border fence between Mexico and US (like the sound barriers along highways)
9.) FIX the FDA drug approval process so harmful drugs like Vioxx ain’t allowed to go to market
10.) FIX NASA
11.) Make JUNK MAIL legal only if you opt in
12.) MAKE CAFE (GAS MILEAGE REQUIREMENT WORLD CLASS
13.) REQUIRE PUBLIC SCHOOL VOUCHERS
….

#24
Stars & Bars, The fact that the wars you selected (rather biasedly) occurred while Democrats were in office is a side issue to the change in US approach to war represented by the neocons.
1. US involvement in WW1 was sparked by the sinking of the Lusitania (it started the ball rolling)
2. US Involvement in WW2 was in response to Pearl Harbor and then Germany’s war declaration
3. Korea was started by North Korea’s invasion of the South.
All the above were caused by specific military action against US interests.
To make my point both the Gulf War & Afghanistan, entered into by Republicans Bush Senior & Junior, respectively, and the Civil War (Abe was a Republican) are part of the above group. Party doesn’t matter when we our our interests get attacked.

Iraq was solely driven by the neo-con and now discredited views of unilateralist, pre-emptive action and “gun-boat” democracy. And of course the fact that these guys couldn’t bring victory and left us in a muck is the greatest sin.

Why would anyone want to defend these slobs, is beyond me.
