American Politics during the Bush Presidency

[QUOTE=Jackson]Hi Bacchus9,

Why would you equate American Citizens who legally exercised their right to vote with the murderous Islamic terrorists who attacked our troops and are now being justifiably held in an American Military prison?

Or is this something I don't understand because I don't watch CNN?

Thanks,

That's your metric not mine. The gaps in your thinking on these issues are the dimensions of the Grand Canyon and the Mississippi river, not unlike other conclusions you draw based on living in the Fox bubble.

Nothing as satisfying as frying someone in their own oil. My ballot initiative would do just that as well as getting the percentage of the Republican (and "independent" voter) population down to about 30% in the US where they could be mildly amusing and with such a representative disadvantage might actually be forced to contribute something positive to the national discourse in contrast to their recent and contemporary reactionary, obstructionist and destructive effluent.

Prepare to receive your new, dark overlord who will liberate you from your childish fixation on pointless symbolisms.

Get a rug and find out where the sun rises. The rest will be revealed to you by a mysterious bearded man, with a turbined head.

You know guy, I seem to recall the same thing being said about Democrats. I can never understand how the left is always carping about free opinion and though but take your position as soon as the right speaks. Is it that only your opinion is divinely inspired and all others count for nothing. Your Fraudian slip is showing Baccus

Good pun Doppelganger if that wasn't a typo, "Fraudian", and of course you may be on to something there ". Your opinion is divinely inspired.". Who knows where these spikes of genius come from? But really it just simple arithmetic, if your ideas and actions destroy the social order and you're found as a group to be working outside the laws and abuse your powers through corruption, fear mongering and bad judgement bordering on the criminal you can be removed from power and spend the rest of your days "wandering in the desert" until you figure out your mistakes and atone for them and ask humbly to rejoin society and make a contribute for the general good.

It seems, by the way, the right has been speaking out 24/7 for over 8 years. At least they were anytime I spun the AM dial on a radio or turned to Fox television and others. Not so much speaking but spewing, hate, misinformation, twisted thinking and lying to protect a political power structure. And that you do not find people not associated with the Republicans or the euphemistic "independents" doing.

[QUOTE=Thomaso276]New Republlican strategy: Privative profits, socialize losses.[/QUOTE]You've got to love the moment and the irony of this dolt addressing the American public with his administration's Socialist plot to save America and the world financial markets. Someday the Bush years will read like a comic book. Not that they don't all ready.

What does that mean?

[QUOTE=Bacchus9]Which of the big words are giving you the most trouble?[/QUOTE]Don't be insulting. I understood the meanings of all of the individual words.

My question was "What does [the composite sentence] mean?"

If you can't explain it, then don't post it.

Jackson.

PS: I'll watch CNN tonight. Perhaps then I'll understand.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Obama explains National Anthem.

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'

WHAAAAAAAT! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for once, am speechless.

He better take sides. If he is not on the side of AMERICA he MUST NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED for the office he is seeking. We do not need a man in office that will not salute the flag. The world knows how to sing, what they need to know is that the USA will defend what that flag stands for.

Pass It On Before It's To Late.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Why doesn't he stand and honor the flag, the national anthem, etc.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=Sidney]I / we eagerly await the answer to the question![/QUOTE]Sid,

The answer is that you don't watch enough CNN.

Thanks,
