So... military occupation isn't dominating? And I would contend you ARE actually profiting from them, since all the rebuilding contracts in such countries go almost exclusively to American business. Ever hear of Halliburton.
While you may prefer it be characterized in that fashion, nothing could be further from the truth. The Empty Suit's political philosophy has never been more clearly displayed. He has almost dropped all pretense of being a socialist. Almost, but not quite. If he had dropped all pretense, he wouldn't be trying to backtrack now and put out lengthier versions of the video to "prove" his comments were taken out of context. However, his purpose in making the statement is absolutely clear.
I've had discussions with liberals on message boards for over a decade, and as a group they're are an unimpressive lot of self-righteous America loathing socialists who believe that bashing everything this country stands for is intellectual debate. That said, my grandparents were Democrats, my mother was a Democrat, and most of the people I grew up with were Democrats. None of them, however, would have tolerated a common criminal like Bill Clinton any more than they would tolerate Nixon dishonoring the presidency. The Democratic party is now contolled by the socialist hard left. The image of Nancy Pelosi leading her puppies out of the House to protest a vote she didn't like was probably one of the most disgusting images of the year. When she refused to allow the socialized medicine bill to be read and even proclaimed "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it," she should have been immediately removed as speaker and expelled from the House. Yes, they COULD do that if they had integrity. They do not. The Democrats vote in lock step with Reid and Pelosi, two of the most pathetic political figures in modern times.
Religion masquerading as anything is sickening.
I could say the same thing about the Democratic party, who can't seem to muster an original thought. What Harry and Nancy says, they do.
No, you can pretty much carve out your own niche there. I was a registered Independant until I saw the damage the liberals were intent on doing to this country. It isn't so much right vs left, it's right vs wrong.
Or if you change one word, "whatever you do TO the least of these..." I rather imagine that He would have a problem with the blessed sacrament of the left; abortion on demand.
Me too. However the left refuses to address anything regarding costs because it offends the trial lawyers and unions. I support STATE catastophic health insurance, torte reform, liability caps, portability, health care savings accounts and anything which gives the individual greater control of their own health care. I oppose socialized medicine, the demonization of capitalism and the notion that health care providers should be servants rather than business professionals. I believe in accountability. If you drive without car insurance and cause an accident, you're going to pay. The same should happen if you don't carry health insurance. Insurance, by the way, is only a way of dividing the costs of a loss to a larger group so that the cost to any individual is lessened. it is NOT a Constitutional right.
Health care is not a synonym for health insurance. Americans have health care.
Me too, but that makes you unqualified to run for public office as a Democrat.
I support the death penalty for murderers, traitors, and any member of any terrorist organization.
Me too. The only professional politicians are supposed to be senators.
Me too.
Me too, though I think the grace of God helped me more than anyone extending a hand. I've worked since I was 12. I've never filed for unemployment. I repaid my student loans I've never defaulted on a debt.
If you don't hate the military, promote the destruction of the unborn or believe that you are nothing without the benevolence of government, there is no place for you in the modern Democratic party.
*Headdesk* thats not remotely what he said. The business is yours, but the infrastructure around it isn't, and its only fair you help with its upkeep. No ones talking about the big bad ebil guvmernt comming and taking anyone's business away.
*raises hand* I hate him. He's a failure in every sense. I still don't think that makes it ok to misrepresent him. I'm far right, and it irks me beyond belief when my erstwhile allies engage in these sorts of nonsense tactics, when they really should be pointing to the REAL errors he's made and problems he's caused, rather than this ridiculous song and dance about utterly fabricated controversies. If they did that, they might actually swing a few opinions here and there. This focus on ephemeral nonsense only serves to further entrench the rusted ons, and does noting to bring anyone to "our" point of view.
Not currently huh? One wonders what you would think qualifies.
The strategy for Iraq was spelled out and signed into law in 1998 by Bill Clinton; the liberation of Iraq and the establishment of democracy. We didn't take their oil despite a million lies by libs who said that's why we were there. We didn't establish a puppet regime either. They chose their own leaders. No other nation would have paid the price we did without exacting reimbursement.
How does my starting threads on Obama effect in the slightest your intentional misrepresentation of the man?
