Originally by: Mastertz Edited by: Mastertz on 03/05/2011 17:41:29 The Amurika F*CK Yeah stuff on the news has been pretty disturbing. Like that kid who said he had two finals and wasn't going to study for any of them, just like what... the... f. Even the Daily Show and The Colbert Report was surreal.
It just further cemented my opinion that people are ultimately horrible POS that still have yet to evolve out of some of the more base traits that don't make sense anymore. We're ultimately doomed.
Here's to China becoming Pakistan's ally in the up and coming WW3. The experiment must be restarted yet again. See you down in Arizona Bay.

The media go to great lengths to find idiots to quote on national TV. A steady diet of that is likely to skew your view of the world. Don't let it get you down - people in general are much better than those you see on the tube! __________________________________________________ Name a shrub after me; something prickly and hard to eradicate. |

Yeah you can buy a bumper sticker with those words on it for $3.95. They are just words, spoken in a different context, and not at all applicable here.

Spoken like your namesake. Somewhere Dr. Maturin is deeply disappointed.
OK, I will see your quote and raise you:
"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue ù and thoroughly immoral ù doctrine that "violence never solves anything" I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of H-i-t-l-e-r could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."
- Robert A. Heinlein (Starship Troopers, chapter 2, p26)
Who are you going to listen to - the preacher or the writer?
(Oh, and my good friend Stephen is quite the bloody-minded individual when he wants to be, the creature )

Originally by: Astenion Well, think about it for a second. While Obama has made some mistakes, he's not the buffoon that Bush was. There isn't much material you can use against Obama, especially now. What are you gonna say, make a joke about him pushing universal health care in order to improve the lives of all citizens? Draw down troops in an unnecessary war in Iraq? Put the focus back on Afghanistan and improve the situation there, which he has done? Give the order to kill Osama Bin Laden? He did all of those things, and all of those things are really, really good things. What is there to make fun of besides the economy? That he's a loving husband and father? That he wasn't born in the US (which is a lie started by the right)? There's just nothing really that bad to say about him.
If you can't find anything bad to say about Obama, then you are not thinking about it for as long as a second. You're mind is closed, your ears don't work, you're blind as a mole, and thank God you are no longer in the military!

Originally by: Astenion So yes, there really isn't *THAT* much negativity surrounding Obama in respect to Dubya, aside from the negativity invented by idiot Republicans like this birth certificate nonsense. They also like to forget that the reason the economy is in shambles is directly and solely laid at the feet of the Bush Administration and the Republican majority. Obama inherited it AFTER the first bailout by Dubya, and at that point the ball was already in motion.
Most of the negativity surrounding Bush was driven by a leftist media with an agenda; the double standard is obvious to anyone who wants to look. That same media simply WILL NOT report the truth about the current administration's policies. Our current fiscal crisis is directly attributable to socialist policies that have been supported by self-serving politicians from both sides of the aisle dating back to the Carter administration.
Originally by: Astenion It's good I'm not in the military anymore because I support Obama? So you're saying that all military members should be Republican and think like Republicans?
Of course not. Its because you are deaf, blind, and ignorant that I don't want you handling military hardware.
Originally by: Astenion It looks like YOU'RE the one blind as a bat with his fingers in his ears. Keep hanging around the smoke pit with your buddies, imagining new things to invent to slag Obama...oh wait, your party has been doing that since he got into office.
You are making assumptions about my party affiliation that are unfounded and untrue. You don't have to be a Republican to hate what this president and his cronies are doing to our country.
I AM thankful that he had the stones to renege on his campaign promises to shut down Gitmo, have civil trials for the inmates, stop using waterboarding, and bring our troops home. As a result he deserves the lion's share of credit for nailing Bin Laden.

Originally by: Astenion First, it wasn't the media who sent us on a wild goose chase in the middle of Iraq looking for non-existent WMD, killing thousands of our own and tens of thousands of innocents, all the while making a mockery of what the US stands for. What you're doing is blaming the media for reporting on, well, current events, and you're angry because you don't like what they have to say because the truth offends your partisan sensibilities. "Most of the negativity surrounding Bush" was driven because the entire Administration was a colossal embarrassment and failure to the American people and the rest of the world, not because of MSNBC as you'd like to believe. The media didn't bring the country to the lowest point in its entire history; that administration did.
True, but it IS that same media that refuses to report that both the elephants and the donkeys believed that intel and voted to invade. Because you refuse to go outside your leftist media bubble you only get one version of the story.
Originally by: Astenion Again, it is you who is deaf, dumb, and blind...and it is a good thing that YOU are not in the military. Blaming the lowest decade in our history on the liberal media is ridiculous, partisan, and out of touch with reality. You're just a shameless apologist.
I didn't blame the media - go read it again. I blamed every administration from Carter to the present. Politicians who mortgage the future to get (re)elected today.
Originally by: Astenion Let me guess, you're a "Libertarian", but only because it's unpopular to claim being Republican. You and your ilk simply took your ridiculous ideas and gave it a new name in order to not be so unpopular. So while you may not be a registered Republican, you're still a Republican because of your viewpoint. Don't play both sides of the fence, just admit what you are and stick with it without hiding behind farcical party affiliations.
I envy you your certainty - when election day comes around you can just go pull the "D" lever and go home feeling you've done your civic duty.
For a Libertarian (actually I consider myself a Classical Liberal in the Jeffersonian sense) it is harder - you have to look at each candidate and decide who on balance is going to be most likely to decrease the size and scope of government and increase individual freedom and responsility. Most often that is a Republican but not always. Democrats have all the socialist economic baggage, and Republicans carry the religious right baggage, and both of those serve to diminish individual liberty.
tl;dr - it's not easy being me.

Originally by: Danton Marcellus They killed him after a firefight, not during and he was unarmed yet resisting, harsh language? I bet the spooks are happy to get the regular citizen on board on their murder boat but as much as it's a relief to have the loon gone you will have to wonder where this lead.
I don't care if he was standing there naked with an "I'm unarmed" sign in 12 languages - he's dead and we don't have to suffer through the spectacle of a public trial with a taxpayer-provided legal team and an O.J. Simpson-IQ jury.

Originally by: Danton Marcellus You fail to see the point, when the majority view legal issues as you yourself does the state has failed. When due process is a spectacle and not law and ad hoc sollutions the norm then you really got nothing to lean on. Saying your an american citizen will not stop the next bullet to your face.
I've seen it before 'but I'm clean, I have nothing to fear!' Yes perhaps you're clean but what if the government ain't?
You fail to see that this was not a legal issue. OBL was an enemy combatant hiding in a foreign country not under the jurisdiction of US law. He was a legitimate military target and as such nobody has cause to complain that he was eliminated.
To paraphrase John Cleese: "Due process don't enter into it!" __________________________________________________ Name a shrub after me; something prickly and hard to eradicate. |
