Take Your Empty Rice Bowl! |

Go to every house and collect a grain of rice from each house that has known no suffering.

What? That sounds very selfish. I believe everyone has something to give after their physical assets disappear for one reason or another.

True art is moral: it seeks to edify life, not to debase it, to hold off, at least
for a little while, the twilight of the gods and of us.

I think that's the point...
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.-Theodore Roosevelt, The Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918 |

He's just trying to start a fight.
He loses. Again.

Come to my house. I will give you a grain of rice. Suffering is a word that I would bet not one of us (for the exception of death of a loved one) has ever
TRULy experienced.

That's why the coming great depression will test us all.

We'll all be waiting for that to happen with bated breath, Brain...NOT. Unless of course Washington succeeds in reintroducing Jimmy Carter's domestic
economic agenda for more than 4 years, then all bets are off.
Wait....What was that stuff that BHO said the other day in Oregon? Americans can't have comfortable heat and A/Cs, can't eat all we want, and have to get rid of our SUVs because it isn't fair to other countries and they don't like it. Hmmmm. I feel the national 55 mile per hour speed limit coming back already. Double digit inflation! Gas Lines! Double digit unemployment! Ahhhh, the good 'ol days of having a true liberal in office with a Dem Congress! National Malaise here we come! |

Yeah, but I doubt it Econ. If Obama isn't assassinated and gets in, the whole world will heave a giant sigh of relief. That should be good for some
upticking market numbers.

his watch, terrorist attacks on various US Embassies on his watch and the USS Cole on his watch - not to mention turning tail and running from Al Qaida in
Somalia AND turning down the offer of OBL on a silver platter - we had (everybody sigh and sing kumbaya) PEACE during his term. We got the PEACE dividend!
Awwww, wasn't that great?

Econ finally shows himself. Ill-informed wanker. B(low) J(ob) is a moniker I'd much rather be saddled with than (W(armongering) P(uppet) F(ascist).
(and no, I won't bother to 'inform' you). History's Not Made By Great Men. |

I would refer you to a little book called Liberal Fascism which is a current best seller, so you can see what some of the true
origins of fascism are and how it applies much more to today's PC police on the left than any bunch on the right.
That's right, hate some more boys - my whole family is military! All the way back - first ancestor to these shores in 1740 fought in the Revolutionary War and we've served with distinction in every battle since. So, if you can read this post - thank a teacher. Thank a soldier, though, for being able to read it in English. |

And GoO, remember, in an Islamist (note I didn't say Islamic) state the ideology of the left will get you pretty quickly jailed, or mutilated or executed.
So, be careful who you are enabling.
Also remember that the reports from Iraq following the end of the war (vs. the current counterinsurgency) found that Sadaam had stored the capacity to resurrect his WMD programs and had active programs - and that France, Germany and Russia were actively working to get around (and help eliminate) the UN Oil for Food and sanctions program. The weeks we gave Sadaam before the war - getting additional UN resolutions to follow up on the 14/15/16 before that time that Sadaam was violating - saw huge convoys of military trucks leaving Iraq and going into Syria (aerial photographs are available) from suspect sites. Only trouble is, we can't say what was in a covered truck. It was certainly interesting though, that UN Inspectors found banned Missle parts, biochemical equipment, and other WMD components from Iraq in junkyards in various parts of Europe and the Middle East in the weeks following the war. It was also interesting, in the last battle of the land campaign, in Al Q'aim, that the military was picking up very high levels of radiation coming from storage areas in caves around this city on the border with Syria. This was the battle where their army actually made a stand and fought ferociously for several days at the end. When they were finally defeated and dislodged, the radioactivity was not to be found. This is all readily available public information, declassified info from the military and UN and translations of documents by MEMRI of Sadaam's documents (only a small portion of which have yet been translated). Very little of it brought to you by our "impartial, unbiased media". Just like they haven't been reporting much from Iraq since the surge - except the odd day a bomb does go off or a soldier or Marine dies...THAT's news, by gosh....but all the successes and school building and medical support, etc. etc., is not fit to report on. And one last thing - B.J. thought that this was all a swell idea (as did the Dems in the House and the Senate) when they passed legislation in 1998 calling for regime change in Iraq, by force if necessary, because of WMDs and Sadaam's violation of sanctions, his violation of the surrender terms from the Gulf War, violations of all UN resolutions to that point, and his support for terrorism (proven money and meetings for Hamas, Hezbellah and training at Salman Pak - not to mention his contacts with and support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt run by - you guessed it - OBL's current second in command). Sadaam may not have had a hand in 9/11 operationally, but his intelligence groups sure had a lot of contacts with Al Qaida. By the way - Sadaam did finance the 1993 WTC bombing according to the conviction of the Blind Sheik and his compadres. But I won't bother to inform you about any more of that....you are probably still trying to track down the guys who set the demolition charges in the WTC on 9/11 or are monitoring the TriLateral Commission or the Builderburgers or whatever... Thanks guys, that made me feel better....better out than in, I always say! Feel free to scream.

Shorter posts have more impact. But I get your points. Anyone who mentions the Bilderbergs around here gets extra points.
Manchurian Grove, anyone?

Econ = Willard's sister....just fewer emoticons and exclamation points! But h/she's getting close to boiling point...check the style and vocabulary,
it's building from smug to name-calling aggressive and finger-stabbing. Hold on to your hats!
'Thank a soldier for being able to read it in English' - huh? 15 yard penalty for reaching, Econ. |
