Portrait of the average American voter...
"rafe b" wrote in message ... "William Graham" wrote in message . .. But you should tell me what we should do about people like Saddam Hussein. How would you handle despots like that? Who sez it's the job of the USA to rid the world of despots? Who gives us the right (or wisdom) to judge who's a despot and who's not? We have zero credibility in that department. The USA has a sad history of *supporting* some of the most ruthless despots on the planet. Study your history, William. OK. I will. - But someday, while I am studying away, there will be a brilliant flash of light....And then, all will be darkness forever........(at least for me and my neighbors.) |

Mencken, 1923 Yes, but, "Just because I'm paranoid, that doesn't mean that someone isn't out to get me." Just what are us poor republicans supposed to think when the president of Syria says, "We are trying to obtain an atom bomb, and just as soon as we get one, we are going to drop it on Israel." What would you do if your neighbor down the block came to your door and said, "I have a gun on order, and just as soon as it arrives, I am going to load it and come down here and blow you away." - So you call the police, (the UN) and they say, "Sorry, but we can't do anything until he commits the crime". I'm sorry guys, but you haven't convinced me.....All I can do now, is hope you are right, and continue to vote for the meanest SOB on the block whenever I get the chance.....Bush, apparently, wasn't near mean enough........ |

Yeah, and jump forward another 80 years, and you have a situation where you don't need a world class leader to start your wars.....Any two-bit religious nut can gather the wherewithal to wipe out a whole American city of several million people. - And they call me a nut......... |

My nephew brought a flyer home from school today with a HUGE heading at the top which read, "SAVE THE EARTH!!" You know what it was a flyer for??? -Giving your used ink-jet cartridges to some company for recycling. I have nothing against recycling...but it irks me to see such ridiculously overstated come-ons like this. They apparently think elementary kids/parents are stupid, and are trying to cater to that stupidity. Instead we're supposed to fear terrorists, gays, flag-burners, and uppity women.

Yep, if I was a Bush Republican like yourself I'd find it embarrassing as well. Dump your blind Bush republicanism and take the quote for what it really means. RP© - Have another quote, yet even older than the previous that pays tribute to the Bush regime and it's followers..... - "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin- Well, I sure hope you guys are right....the problem is, you are asking me to bet my life on it........ |

In the face of Osama, you turn to into jello. You may find it interesting that the denizens of Manhattan -- who actually suffered the most from 9/11 -- are overwhelmingly opposed to "Dear Leader's" efforts to protect them. There are about a thousand things that concern me far more than the next terrorist attack on my home town. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |
