    Maybe we could do like they used to on Ann Landers-- "My Uncle George wrote that in Grand Rapids in 1948."

    What scares me is not so much that these people vote -- but that they breed. Ugh!
  • TampaZeke · 1 year ago
    As long as they're HETRA-sek-shuls their breeding is good and sacred no matter how screwed up they are and no matter how physically, mentally or psychologically abusive they may be to their kids.

    At least that's what Focus on the Family would have us believe.

    Politics is the art of getting people to believe that you are serving them by getting what YOU want.

    IMO, for about 1/3 of the us population, this will never change. Recently, in a little piece of crap city called Dallas, a homeless man with aids was given 20 years min for spitting in a cops face. "Assault with deadly weapon" or something. Even though no one has ever contracted aids from spit, sweat or tears (Center for Disease Control). Here's how some people in Dallas were in the late 60's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wanted_for_t...

    Note: JFK remarked about how he was going into a part of the US that was filled with nutcases just before the fateful trip. It's the same now.

    It's been 40 years since the last political assassination; if BO doesn't play along, there will probably be another. I hope he chooses Kucinich as VP to help protect against that.

    Actaully since the right hates Hillary so much, she as VP would be better insurance

    Can't we summarize this into one simple sentence:

    "I'll start caring when it's freakin' easy and everyone looks, thinks, smells, and acts just like me - It's just too hard to be a Christian/American/Patriot with all these 'ideas' floating about"
  • TampaZeke · 1 year ago
    EXACTLY!

    I remember reading that the prisoners in Abu Ghraib were not terrorists but common criminals. In that case, the ranter had better care whether or not they were brutalized, because torturing them would have extracted no useful information about terrorist activities. But it sure would have made them think about becoming terrorists if they ever got out.
  • stranded · 1 year ago
    You know that and I know that, but the mindset of the people who agree with this email completely reverses this logic. "If they're going to be terrorists anyway, why not torture them now and just keep them locked up? They don't deserve to be afforded justice because they're Muslim to begin with. And all Muslims are suspect." That's the kind of logic they use.

    Just to be clear, none of this transposed nonsense makes any sense purportedly coming from a Canadian source. Whoever did this doesn't have an intuitive sense of Canadian social reality. I suppose the transposer relies on the undisputed fact that most Americans know nothing of consequence about Canadian society at all. Indeed even the phrase "housewife" is seldom heard north of the 49th now for unrelated reasons. We have our own and distinctive right wing crypto-fascist fringe to deal with. You can keep yours all for yourselves thank you so very much. Have a nice day.

    so "she is upset that judges released photos that are sure "to set off the Islamic extremists " but doesn't care when the Qur'an (bite it be-yoch fake Candian housefrau) is shot full of holes and "fuck" is written on it that will infact "set off the Islamic extremists "

    the incident "she" speaks of "Koran was “desecrated” when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet" was years ago.... btw who is overworking them be-yoch?

    Well God bless apple pie, freckle-faces boys on baseball teams, making out with your girl in the back of your dad's Ford, and housewives who keep their aprons ironed.............ah, the fresh smell of patriotism.
  • Milli · 1 year ago
    Oh say can you see by the dawns early light, what so proudly we ail, as the twilights last eeming...........................whose broad stripes and white stars, dah dah dah dah dah.........and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave thru thru the night, that our flag was still there, oh blah blah that star-spangled banner yeahitwaved. For the land of the freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, and the home of the braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave............

    Beautiful, insightful, and spot-on analysis, A.J. Thanks.
  • Reason0Politics1 · 1 year ago
    the person that wrote that tripe, and the inbred morons that forward it, well, I m sorry to say I defended when i enlisted. Thats NOT the America I swore to uphold; foaming at the mouth, completely ignorant of truth, all worked up thanks to a limbaugh, O'reilly, or whatever... an angry stupid mob.

    Sadly, our beloved country is full of them. All eager to lynch a black, a gay, or a arab, without provocation. This nation needs a good culling I'm afraid.

    Explain how wanting to protect our country from terrorists is hyperventilation hype? You are not facing the truth. The truth of the matter is that people did die on September 11th, 2001 and that terrorists continue to plot against the US and other countries every day. The very fact that you would rather stick your head in the sand instead of facing the problem head-on proves that you definitely lack intelligence. That you would chide people who do not ANY country to be attacked by terrorist again is ridiculous. I pray that no one you know is ever affected by a terrorist attack. I pray that for all of you even though you call us names. I want my country and all countries to continue to fight terrorism wherever it may be and to do whatever it takes to stop it.
