Amazon 7 #37 July 6, 2008 Notice in one thread today I used the term REPUBLICAN to describe President Eisenhower and his warning about the Military-Industrial Complex that has become YOUR rePUBICan-MORALISTIC-NEO-CON-Chickenhawk party to which you cleave. The GOP that Eisenhower and Goldwater belonged to is dead and buried and it needs to be pointed out as often as possible to deliniate the current travesty of morality that it has become. BUT that is the PARTY that you so vehemently defend on a daily basis.. while spounting your never ending mantra of how bad they all are.. yet you continue to support the abuses that have aqd are continueing to occur. What do you call that kind of support????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are not so good with current affairs since their affairs seem to lean to more wide stance issues.... they are better at ancient history for something that MOST of the world finds quite fun, trouble is since most of them dont get em.. they get all moralistic ...but its been shown that the Party of MOrality... talks a good game... but cant walk the walk.

You can hide behind any excuses you want, but my opinion of you isn't changed by this paragraph. And to further comment: YOU were the one that asked Max what his excuse was. And now you are trying to pin that onto me. I was not trying to justify or qualify your "excuse." I was simply stating that he does not hide behind them. Your confusingly insulting comments about him wiggling his toes in the above comment?! I don't know - should I include that callous comment in your memory loss "reason."

The role of the President [when we all should know that the Presidents job is not to hold power, but to draw attention away from the real source of it. (and although President Bush might be good at that Zaphod Beeblebrox really is the best)] 2. Price fixing the price of gasoline [My thoughts on that part of the debate: By setting prices below market levels, the government of the 70's made it unprofitable for oil companies to respond to high prices as they normally would -- by increasing production. This led to inadequate supplies and fuel shortages. Then, rather than lifting the price controls, government tried to fix the problem by imposing allocation controls. Soon, we had centrally planned programs determining how much of various fuel types to produce, how much to send each state and how much various categories of purchasers were allowed to buy. And that all to similar to conditions in Atlas Shrugged where Reardon Metal is sale and distribution is controlled by the government.... and it kills the industry. Government control is NOT the answer to this problem. Personal responsibility and working within the system of capitalism. Not changing it to a system of communism. If you can't afford the gasoline - try to adjust your life to better fit within your mean. Carpool, bike, walk. Control your driving habits. Do something REAL. Whining about how it's Bush's fault isn't going to change your life.] You jump back in to this debate with a comment directly meant for me: bad day at the office? did you deliver a baby today with an attitude problem I comment that it's tacky to discuss birth trauma. I take my responsibility to my patients and their children VERY seriously and to see someone even mockingly slander my ability does annoy me.

NO.. most of this country knows no such thing....they do not WANT to believe.

PNAC told the American People what they wanted to do....and Bush and Cheney were good to that document.. certainly not to their WORD about no nation building.....so when those on the FRINGE Right want to argue about Bush no being a lying sack of shit....

Leapinglizardto 0 #49 July 6, 2008 Quote [To me, that comes across as "This sucks in my life - it's this persons fault. I want to hurt him"] oh please. it is SO obvious that I was just kidding. making a humorous reference, to the fact I am not 100% thrilled with the big guy & everything he's done or failed to do in office. or would you seriously have us believe that when you read & responded to this, you actually were so far detatched from reality at the moment, you honestly believe I was telling him to do it? BULL, 1st of all I've seen so many of your posts & you are far to intelligent a waman for this to be the case. I've also noted from your posts that normally you, yourself have a great sense of humor. [/reply ] 2ndly, as far as blah blah blah, me at least getting the address right, if I'm ...blah blah how about him getting the facts right in respect to the address in his 'come-back' comment, didn't see any post from you jumping all over that. if you're playing self appointed banter ref-official, don't do so, so blatantly one-sided narrow-minded[/reply ] & as far as me just placing blame of memory loss on the stroke when you keep insinuating it just poor memory, 1st of all shame on you as a medical professional you know better. 2ndly how can you be so certain in your claim that it isn't from the stroke, when you don't know me, my history etc. according to family, friends, school & medical records, from preschool thru college age & right up to the stroke. I had an incredible even photo/audiographic memory. apparently, according to all sources & documents/evidence, I had to see, read or hear something, only ONE time. & still be able to recall EVERY detail. right up to the day I suffered the stroke. what a coincidence. & even more so that when I final woke up in the ICU weeks later I couldn't recall my own identity or what had happened to me. It only came back to me much like the physical aspects, through intense long term rehab therapy. & even so of course it wasnt 100%It's pretty pathetic when you have to TELL people you're fucking cool Skymama «narrative»This thread will lock in 3..2.. What a load of narrow-minded Xenophobic Bullshit!-squeak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #50 July 6, 2008 Quote 1. The role of the President [when we all should know that the Presidents job is not to hold power, but to draw attention away from the real source of it. (and although President Bush might be good at that Zaphod Beeblebrox really is the best)] Nice to know that the Presidents handlers that hold the leash on his collar, that have gotten rich off this war ORDERED him to fix the propaganda so the rubes could believe this war was NOT about the oil.... NO.. most of this country knows no such thing....they do not WANT to believe. Some of us realized that a long time ago..the war is about the oil... not the phantom menace of the WMD.. then liberating the Iraqi people when the other story no longer flew in the face of the reality our troops were not finding SQUAT. BUT ....bottom line....he is the one with the POWER to send off our young people to a bogus war and he did it with glee and sent thousands of Americans off to their deaths. Edited to add... PNAC told the American People what they wanted to do....and Bush and Cheney were good to that document.. certainly not to their WORD about no nation building.....so when those on the FRINGE Right want to argue about Bush no being a lying sack of shit.... I guess they have selective memory about that little FACT. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GGDwvAbx_fg Liar Liar too bad YOUR pants are not on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
