I agree with him.

 

After all, he's still running for president.

 

I could not believe it when he said it. He is either the DUMBEST candidate EVER, or he is a plant to make a "soon to be named" candidate look very "middle" of the road. :idea:
You mean you actually think that the capture of Saddam in a hole has made the US safer? :cry:

Any fucking Muslim

in the mideast or where ever the muslims that

can't stand us for what ever reason it is.

I guess I asked for it. Should have known better. :freak:

 

I guess it really is a "Great Day For Exxon, BP, and Haliburton."

 

With discourse like this, they can rely on carrying on as usual and no one will notice.

I smell bait. :eek:

 

Look, it's not for me to teach you history. You have a computer, you have internet access and this how you spell "Google."

 

There is a ton of information out there, both pro and against. My only advice is that if you start with the premise of "they" you will only see one side. Me, they, me, they....

 

Get it?

 

So your saying it's our goverment that's behind

No, our government isn't behind this in the “conspiracy theory” sense, but yes, they are very much a part of the problem, as are you and me and everybody else out there.

 

It takes a level of intelligence, introspection and contemplation to get beyond the sense of self, and begin to try and understand this crazy fucked up planet we are living on.

 

But as long as you define the world in an “us and them” dialogue, you are doomed to failure.

 

Just my own humble opinion.

 

I hope you have a fruitful search. ;)

Sorry if you think I was bating you

that was not my intention.You are right though.

Guess I should just keep my mouth shut if I don't

know what I'm talking about.It's hard to learn

the truth when you don't know what the truth really is.

Why don't we look at it this way. Let's pretend just for the moment that there was no SH or OBL, and 9/11 never happened. So we are going to set those issues aside. Then ask yourself, "Is America any safer, or even further, are YOU any better off?" I think a good case can be made that "No, you are not better off or any safer," the un-Patriot Act and massive federal spending on wasteful projects that will not benefit Amercians is what you are left with.

 

My god you can be so funny... "Let's pretend 9/11 never happened...the un-Patriot Act and massive federal spending on wasteful projects..etc."

 

Johnny.. Reality check... If we pretend 9/11 never happened then all the resultant issues didn't happen either..you know, like the Patriot Act? You are such a dimwit...

That would be Holocaust Revisionism. A far right wing movement. One of the leaders of the Holocaust Revisionism movement is William Pierce the author of the Turner Diaries, often given as motivation for Timothy McVeighs endeavor in domestic terrorism. Timothy McVeigh was a self described Libertarian and anti-government zealot.

 

WOW, it would be wrong to try to paint JohnnyB as a Holocaust Revisionist. That would more suit your affiliations: Libertarian, anti-government, right wing :D

What I'm saying is to set all of Bush and Cheney's propaganda aside for A MOMENT and then see what BUSH and Cheney have done to you.

 

So what I find is some people cannot engage in a intellectual exercise where you look at different sets of facts. DUH, University Professors often do this....They try to get their students to think outside of their little preconceived notions which are often rather narrowminded.

 

Once you take out the propaganda, what you are left with are really bad acitions on the part of Bush and Cheney. Actions, which contain all the indicia of a criminal enterprise.

 

For example, Cheney is still refusing to honor court orders that he turn over the evidence he is withholding (hiding) on his secret meetings with energy officials. Cheney refuses to even tell the names of the participants or what their titles were. Why? Because Cheney is trying to cover up his misdeeds and crimes. Well what happened? Shortly after Cheney's little secret meet, California's energy prices went through the roof. So did Nevada's and several other states. They were all victims of this little price-fixing scam concocted by Cheney in the White House. BTW, this is not just one crime, this is a whole series of crimes, multiple crimes we are looking at that Cheney committed.

 

Cheney trying to hide evidence points in the direction of guilt.

A few units of Halliburton filing BK to avoid paying out on legitmate asbestos claims is just another legal scam. Examine the details of their "plan" they file with the court and you'll probably find that the execs are all getting big rasies. UAL and a bunch of big companies like PG&E have played this game. Often it is done to attempt to get concessions from their loyal emnployees while giving the mucks more money.

Look at it as just another big business move to screw people. Nothing more.

 

I do appreciate the info on Cheney being posted on the preceding page, it's time his direct financail ties to Halliburton become more widely known. Notice, that as the DOD chief, he hire Halliburon to do a study which concludes what? Hey, let's outsource. Then he goe to Halliburton and guess what? Yep, Halliburton gets the outsourceing biz. Then he goes back into the government, and now waht. Halliburton gets no-bid contracts. All the while Cheney is still getting money from Halliburton. It stinks and it is a federal crime. Cheney needs to go to jail.

I don't know what fucked up ideas you have about the Libertarian party, but as a Lib, I am completely offended by you associating me with some fucking wacko Anti-Semite redneck with an anarchistic streak.

I know.. instead of passing ideas around, let's start cussing at each other. That always shows the intelligence level of the poster.

 

Profanity..the last refuge of the terminally sullen.

Y'all the bitch about Haliburton...

 

Do you know what it is they do? Do you know of any other corporation anywhere on this planet that does what they do?

 

Didn't think so...Haliburton got its no bid contracts because they are the only outfit on the Earth that does what they can do...and not because of any political ties, conspiracies, backroom shenanighans, or any of that other tripe floating around here...

You are wasting your time. I have posted all of this before and they will NOT listen. They dont care, it kills their arguments.

 

I have resorted to just LOL at these guys, its fun. :D

Here's the plan ... feel free. Let us know if you find anything juicy...

Amendment Plan

 

And I think you go a little far in your characterization of Chapter 11 as merely a "legal scam." Many companies have filed Chapter 11 when immense actual and potential asbestos liabilities exist as a way to seek a comprehensive, one-time resolution of the liability. All those with claims must come forward once the company enters bankruptcy and one settlement with all of them can be negotiated and included in the pre-packaged bankruptcy plan. In my opinion (feel free to disagree, of course), this is a good thing because it allows companies (public companies, especially) to pay a sum certain and then get on with their business. Those with legitimate claims (and even some of those without legitimate claims) are compensated, but the company is not "liquidated," which generally would result in public shareholders losing everything. By entering Chapter 11 and resolving the claims that way, the company is able to survive going forward while still remaining accountable for its use of asbestos to the extent the courts have found them to be so liable.

Wait - you mean to tell me that Haliburton is the only company on Earth that does subcontracting? Wow. I did not know that.

 

In case you were wondering, the only Haliburton people that have even so much as made an appearance in Iraq have been the honchos that come in and check up on the work all the subcontractors are doing.

and so the next day will deliver

as if your victory was forgotten

the same issues you had fought on

 

because superficial victory

because superficial victory

was Aristotle's nemesis

 

that Sun Tzu taught us well

a classic through and through

Sun Tzu had taught us well

as to what we all should do

 

but did we learn it all

was there something that we missed

but did we learn at all

when we failed to fully invest

 

just skimming the pages of time

never taking history's doses

just skimming the pages of crime

in a superficial hypnosis

 

seeing only what we care to see

too busy winning victories

seeing only what we care to be

too busy making enemies

 

just bumper-sticker, T-shirt logic

old and young and child alike

lost forever to the human condition

you've won your little victory

but fail to see that we're not fighting

you think we've lost the fight

and fail to see our minds uniting

 

there's no right and wrong

there's no right and wrong

only war and peace

 

and there's plenty in between

because logic is a friend and a tool

and more than a club and kind of a school

and logic is a friend and a tool

of the close-minded fool, who loses his cool

because superficial victory

meaningless to most

still meaningless to most

because logic can't hide reality

 

and one day we'll do the work

we'll study the ancient tomes

one day we'll do the work
