Hard to refute paranoia like I said.

Hmm, I guess the enhanced wire tap powers of the Feebs is just paranoia. I must have imagined it.

Saying it in a sentence doesn't make it true. The content of this Chicken Little Theater play by Lew Rockwell contradicts your example. Typical leftist idealism - snipe at hallucinatory problems and "what if" scenarios in order to rationalize your own delusionalism.

BTW - Who exactly is "occupying" Georgia? Yankees? Still?

As the ?G-man? would say these are all gratuitous assertions and can be just as easily gratuitously refuted, thus I gratuitously refute them. These are idiotic so-called translations and they appear to be just the ramblings of someone who has not a clue of the true nature of the danger we are in.

What de Coster did was what cheap lawyers do. By rewriting Bush's words, she put words in his mouth that he did not say, words chosen to have some rhetorical repugnance to her audience, and then she beats us over the head with them.

We do find the words repugnant - all of them - and the author repugnant as well. Those who repeat them are slanderers in 1/2" aluminum plate body suits.

If she wants to write an article about how Bush has taken actions to increase the size of the government at the expense of civil liberties, she should do so. But she has to argue from Bush's words as he spoke them, or the government actions that have followed- not some twisted things she dreamed up in her own head.

She did get one thing correct. I hope this piece of schmaltzy pap induces the expected emotions from those of you that hear it. It did.

Exactly. Thank you.

Now "occupied ga" can continue studying for his Mensa Society induction test tonight.

The "true nature of the danger" is from our own government. More people were murdered and enslaved by their own governments in the 20th century than were ever killed by terrorists or foreign invaders. Of course, you are probably one of those who believes it can't happen here.

I'll tell you why this doesn't need to be refuted on a point-by-point basis. It is make-believe. Anyone can make-up words and impute these to anyone else. Such claptrap doesn't require refutation because it doesn't exist. It's make-believe.

There is one bit of humor here that should be pointed out. LewRockwell is fond of posting articles that attack others for making false statements about libertarianism. Isn't this, the same thing?

Gosh, I had no idea that you were royalty. Are you a king?, a queen?

Look out!! There's an Alcoa truck chasing you full of molten aluminum! They've given up on the hat, and are trying for the full body cast now.

You really should avoid consuming chemicals that end in "amine".

Lets see. So far I've gotten about a dozen or so responses - not one of which has said anything to show where DeCoster is wrong.

The problem is that you are assuming that DeCoster is right. DeCoster is posting HER interpretation of what the speech said. Should we take her seriously? If so, Why? What are her qualifications to intrepret George Bush's speeches? Personally, I try to ignore anything coming from that Lew Rockwell idiot.

That would be nice if it were true, but then I guess the current move in Kongress to add a bunch of additional information to drivers' licenses so as to use them as de facto internal passports is just paranoid imaginings. I guess that having fighter jets being given the authorization to shoot down civilian airliners, yet steadfastly refusing to arm the pilots or allowing passengers with carry licenses to stay arms is not statism.

?I?More people were murdered and enslaved by their own governments in the 20th century than were ever killed by terrorists or foreign invaders.?/I??P? So by your obviously brilliant deduction that applies to the United States of America? Seems to me we have done more to stop the murder and enslavement of other governments of their citizens, witness the fall of the Third Reich, USSR and the Imperial Empire of Japan. Sorry, but I don?t see the connection, other than your obvious dislike for our government and lack of patriotism.

You won't get any refutation from the brain dead who weigh in on anything posted from LRC. They never read the articles, they simply assume that they know what was said by noticing the source. Once in awhile, one of them will read halfway through one of the articles and realize that they've been reading and agreeing with an author featured at LRC. That's when they really get nasty.

Look at the screen names in the thread. That explains it.

The ignore button is in the upper right hand corner of your browser screen. It's the one with the "x" on it. Mash it now.

Ignoring your insults, it applies to all governments. Just what is it that makes you think that the US government is immune to this sort of thing (hint - look up Wounded Knee and Manzanas)

Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer

And who would that be, hmmm? Rockwell or Raimondo?

Same difference, I guess. Both are the enemy.
