"Knoxman - I agree with you that Armydoc does a good job of making his
points in a reasonable way. Your 'criticism' of Zap reads like a red-faced, spit-flying rant to me. I think your feedback would be more effectively delivered if you also followed Armydoc's example." Oh, like this example from Armydoc? http://www.justsayhi.com/topic/show/27892 "democrats arent people, satan incarnate" See guys, the funny thing about hardline extremists? The mask always slips, one only need to not be blinking when they revert to form-- that form being their total contempt for any political process occurring outside their monoculture. -Kerry O. |

satan incarnate!
there is no mask here kerri, i think that the deomcrat party over the last 20 years has done more to help along the US towards its own demise, and hides under the 'freedoms' granted in the constitution to do so,,, do you think that political correctness was a republican idea? i know that you dont like republicans, much in the same way i cant stand democrats- that is not to say that there arent good points somewhere hidden in each side. oh by the way, im no extremist- gay marriage, pro choice just to name a couple of 'dem' stances that i do agree with(politically). but its the large governmwent and fiscal irresponsibility and other social agenda's like the redistribution of wealth that the dems advocate that i do not and can not get behind- so does that make me an extremist cause im not 50% lock step with your views? dont be a hillary or a nancy or hell a dianne, there are some good female dems you could model yourself after got to run, got to spend some waning hours with some one more important. doc |

Why would you feel that would be classified as conspiracy? I feel that
the government is looking to protect the country and in the event that the population goes nuts more than it already has, martial law would definitely be an exercisable option but it is not a stretch to imagine a coup that would install a dictator. It's happened. Ask Fidel. Sounds like a new game show. It's time for Ask Fidel! |

Wake up and smell the country burning people. How can we defeat a
foreign enemy, when we can't even deal, domestically, with evil men in high places within our own government? |

smo, you act as if crooked people in positions of power is something new
to you? Am I reading that correctly? Just curious....... |

zap..maybe the coup has already happened..yadda yadda..

I understand well how the neocons became the source of influence on
Middle East policy in the Bush administration. I understand fairly well the personality and cognitive weaknesses in President Bush, and how he could be manipulated into doing the neocon bidding. The question that was left in my mind was the role in all that of Cheney. Within the last several weeks more and more information has been coming to light on Cheney's role these last years, and I will post more on this in the days to come. At this point it seems that when Sept 11 occurred the Bush was overwhelmed and couldn't of his own mind understand what to do. It seems that this is the point at which Cheney essentially took over the White House functions. He, as a classic (American) conservative was already in sync with Karl Rove, who is in charge of domestic policy at the White House, and would have received Rove's full support. As the guy who masterminded Bush's electoral strategy, Bush was unusually dependent on Rove, especially before the 2004 and 2006 elections. I am still trying to learn more about the Cheney-neocon axis. Clearly, Cheney is a classical conservative. A lot of decent people are and this of itself is not a cause for existential alarm. But Cheney doesn't quite fit the definition of a neo-conservative. But beyond either of those identities lies something quite unique and, in my opinion, quite dark about Cheney. It is this that I am trying to understand. Keep in mind that when we use these 'conservative' and 'neo-conservative' terms that they have nothing to do ideologically with each other. I know, the terms are confusing. I've posted several times in these threads about what the difference is and who the neocons are, and can repeat that if anyone would like me to. If there is anyone pushing a dramatic expansion of the powers of the White House and a diminution of the powers of the Congress and the Judicial system, it is Cheney. To the extent you are concerned about a de facto anti-democracy coup in the US, a good place to start paying attention to is Cheney. Oceans |

Oceans ...have you seen the BBC documentary about the birth of the
Neocon movement?.. It's online at google I think...it is well worth the viewing... |

cheney is no mystery, anyone paying attention to the news reports over
the last few years pretty much knows dikky C. neocon- could someone give the term its proper definition since its thrown around here by everybody as a slur, i doubt seriously that some throwing the hardest even know what the freak it means. ooops fairness doctrine doc |

Thanks for the BBC reference, daVinci. Can you check this out and tell
me if this documentary is what you are thinking of? http://www.archive.org/details/BBCBBCpresentsNeoConDocumentaryPartII I'll check it out tomorrow and give you some feedback. Army"doc" -- I've defined "neocon" many times in the past on several threads, and provided goals, names, positions and actions. Oceans |
