we have become no better than the tyranical british oppressors of the 18th century. except now we can do it on a much larger scale. just as I stated before. we are no better than the christians who burned hundreds of innocents for suspicions of witchcraft!

It was May 27, 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. Bush was 12 days away from losing his student deferment from the draft at a time when Americans were dying in combat at the rate of 350 a week. The unit Bush wanted to join offered him the chance to fulfill his military commitment at a base in Texas. It was seen as an escape route from Vietnam by many men his age, and usually had a long waiting list. Bush had scored only 25 percent on a "pilot aptitude" test, the lowest acceptable grade. But his father was then a congressman from Houston, and the commanders of the Texas Guard clearly had an appreciation of politics. *cough* upper class *cough* |

I never said he was stupid.. but if you insist
|
|
|

its very easy to cry on stage. manipulation. some people use it all the time. con artists included
|
|
|
|
you mentioned fear. it seems to me that as one of the chief human emotions it is often used by our goverment to control us. besides.. did we find WMDs? no. did everyone in the UN support us? No and if Bush declared mission accomplished over half a year ago why is my best friend going to Iraq in june? none of what our goverment says makes any sense anymore. they control us to meet their own ends
|
|
|
|
here here, lol. like I said earlier, technically, and according to definition of the world our own goverment is terrorizing us
|

that doesn't cut it. "here's a holiday and some free stuff, now go sit down and be quiet" It destroyed my parents, it destroyed my childhood, and im sure there will be a ripple effect for my children as well. all for what. did we win? NO we didn't. we came home in disgrace. and first it was afghanastan then iraq, now iran, where are we finishing this? when does it end? when we have the whole world. how many billions will we spend bullying other countries into democracy. wow sounds to me like the salem witch trials to me.

what about the men who came home from vietnam and shot themselves like my namesake? what about the people who's families could not help them deal with the deppression, like my father, and it tears those families apart? do they get a special day?
|

|
what Iran is doing has nothing to do with us. It is not our job to police the world that is a popular misconception. this is nothing better than vietnam, which destroyed the lives of an entire generation. My parents included. and since then how many fight have we picked. we went from honerable defenders to a corrupt defunct system of bullies, squabling over power!
|
|
|
|
yeah and that's why we are attacking iran next right? because they are terrorists too.
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons wow that sounds like how they get us to back all our attacks against other countries with oil |

I'm talking about an official confrontation, Verbal of course, a personal conversation

seperation of church and state buddy. look it up. there should not be anything mentioned at all in a government building.

it wouldnt surprise me if I was censored, why is it that howard stern could not express his oppinions on the normal radio? why is it that if I where to directly question Bush that I would be silenced and possibly prosecuted

I was present at a session of congress and enraged that I was required to stand for a christian prayer. I AM NOT christian and I resent being forced to worship a god I do not believe in.

I love america, I don't love feeling like I have no rights anymore. I love what america used to represent. It has come to the point that the goverment no longer cares what the people think, they do what they want

I have to say that I agree. If you are a person that pays attention to the media, then you can see that the people are preparing themselves. we where not given gun rights to hunt, our forefathers gave us the second amendment, not to hunt, and not to stop burgalers, but to defend ourselves from them. deppression after deppression assaults the middle and lower classes, we have no power, and we are the ones who are abused. to say the least, we are ready for a change. the government is not going change willingly, so the people will change it by force. It has happened before and I say now that it will happen again. civil war. rioting and hell. be prepared.
