Here's what I wrote earlier in another thread is some newsgroup : " Here's what it is, republicans right now are a bunch of political racketeers in the limelight and crowds of gullible, sensationalist retards whose sense of morality is identical to that of a lynch mob." |

long article snipped ================================ Bill, with all due respect your post didn't address ANY of the issues related to terrorism, self-defense, or retaliation against the 9/11 plotters. Your post also didn't address the made-up justification of an unprovoked pre-emptive invasion because of WMD. The basic after-the-fact rationalization that Bush is now giving and that you basically give is that Hussein was a bad leader and local murderer. If that was a sufficient and convincing justification, why wasn't that argued before the Bush invasion? The answer is quite simply that that argument is lacking. Also, if we were justified in taking him out, why are we still there? Hussein is gone. So are his sons. Of course the answer is to prop up the CIA-connected-government which was appointed by the US-appointed and CIA-connected governing council. I'm sure that you're convinced of the legitimacy of this, but it is arguable at best. More importantly at this time, what is the likelihood of failure of this puppet government, and will our costs/losses in lives, money, international isolationism, and recruitment fodder for future terrorists continue to be enormous? Just from a self-defense POV, can we afford 4 more years of G.W. Bush? If N. Korea was to start something now, would Bush use that as a justification for attacking Syria or Iran? If Bush continues his war-mongering policy to control the Middle East (do a "search" and read the military agenda for the Project For The New American Century by Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Karl Rove, & Bill Crystal themselves), will we be able to defend ourselves from threats elsewhere. China is a real threat against Taiwan right now and we have a defense alliance with Taiwan. I don't think we will be concerned about photography or D60s if the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz agenda continues unabated. The just-ended Republican Convention focused on whipping up a frenzy of fear. Bill, will you be doing photography or buying guns and building a bomb shelter if this agenda continues? Jerry C. |

"Jerry C." wrote in message .net... Jerry C wrote: Again Bill, you are apparently not cognizant of all the alternate points of view. First, Hussein plotted to assassinate George W's father. W has had a personal vendetta involvement in this. Second, it has been public news for over a decade that Bush Sr. regretted the day he didn't finish off Hussein William Graham wrote: Yes.....I regretted it too.....In fact, that's why I didn't vote for him in 1992......I couldn't in good conscious, vote Democratic, but I didn't vote for Bush......I think I voted for the Libertarian....... Third, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld (among others) have been formulating and advocating an imperialist doctrine of raising taxes, Now you're kidding, right? You think the Republicans have a policy of raising taxes? Why don't you check out Kerry's voting record in congress? Bill, DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. Go to their website and check out what they have been writing at least since 1997. BTW, how do you think they intend to pay for their military programs? These are not unknown wackos. This is the Republican gang running our foreign policy right now and they have their own website. enhancing the military, and using the American military to subjugate and control the Middle East, world oil supplies, and use outer space for military domination. Outer space has nothing to do with military domination. As my father said some 50 years ago, if you want to deliver a payload from Kansas to Moscow, you don't ship it to the mood first. That's going out of your way some half a million miles. (He was a traffic manager for Exxon) Bill, again check out their website. They have written and posted there many position papers on the importance of establishing our military domination of outer space. I don't doubt it. Bush said he wants to land men on Mars.....I never said that I agree with the Republicans. They are as big a spendthrifts as the Democrats.....I just think they are the lessor of two evils. I would rather blow my money into empty space than to give it to people that are too stupid to have saved for their own retirement. You see, this ant refuses to feed the grasshopper........I believe in the Darwin effect.....When the stupid have all starved to death, the rest of us can enjoy the space, air, and water they leave behind........ I abhor Robin-Hood-ism......It just teaches people to be lazy and sponge off of those who work for a living...I also hate watching my freedoms get blown away by those who know nothing about the Constitution. These two things are rapidly ruining our society, and they are both heavily pushed by Democrats....... |
