Obama's war without any anti-war protesters.....where are those voices who turned Vietnam upside down in the media and under President Bush...where are they?

This is what happens when you have traitors in your midst - at home and abroad.

This Afgan war reminds me of Vietnam! Corrupt “friendly” governments, friendly troops who won’t fight, our guys getting shot by friendlies.

GET OUT DOWN! Our soldiers shouldn’t have paid the price they did in ‘Nam, nor should they in ‘Gan!

These savages aren’t worth a single additional drop of American blood or nickel of American treasure. It’s time to pull out and turn that 7th century **** hole into glass from border to border.

Four Trillion dollars peed away in muslim countries over the last 45 years and this is the height of the improvement we get:

And our arrogant politicians are still giving muslims billions and billions of borrowed dollars!

That is a joke. There is no RepublicanRevolution that I can see.

This seems more like it, The nationwide Stockholm Syndrome:

Nothing will happen, nothing will change. We have come to know that we are each alone. There is no revolution. We are paralyzed. We are ignored but left and right both.

How does one start a revolution? It does not look like we have found a way that is successful.

Republican revolution? Ha. Here is an excerpt from Rush Limbaugh's interview with Mia Love:

" In May of 2011, I was at a little dinner party in Washington. I don't want to mention any names, but a prominent republican freshman of the 2010 class, a fired-up tea party guy, had just come from a vote....He said he had just been read the riot act by Pete Sessions, who said " I know you guys came here thinking you're going to change the way things work, but if you don't vote the way Boehner and the leadership want you to vote, you're a one termer here. We're not going to help you get re-elected."

The "bipartisan" Ruling Class remains firmly in control.

Well, removing mind altering drugs from the sheeple might be a good start. Good luck on that one as well. The lame stream media is like crack to the proletariat.

Washington is like the board room of many corporations... you either go along to get along or you don’t get in or you don’t stay in. The deal is too good to pass up for most people who get in that are not already corrupted and they don’t want anyone to stay in who may queer the deal.

Mr. Smith got smashed when he went to Washington. The ending is a true fairy tale though because nothing good ever happens in the end in Washington or anywhere else in politics for that matter. There is money for the greedy, power for the evil and approbation for the insecure in politics. The scene has not changed since this classic movie was made in 1939, only the players have changed and the technology. We still have the same corrupt and corruptible small minded evil people dominating politics. Real, useful, wholesome people do not generally seek such a foul path unless, in a weak moment of idealism think they can change things for the good. Politics is largely populated by those of our society who are of the lowest character but too cowardly to be honest crooks.

If politicians were properly schooled in the use of firearms they might be able to do the right thing as Senator Paine, a villain in the movie, tried to do and failed. Frankly though I doubt any politicians still have the honor and integrity left to feel shame as Senator Paine did in the movie.

There was an element of political correctness then as well. You must not say anything unflattering about he politicians. We continue to allow people we have selected from our own ranks to live as elites, as minor gods who are set upon pedestals and can’t be attacked for their weaknesses, mistakes and outright corruption. Who sets them up to that... they don’t discourage it do they?

In January 1938, both Paramount Pictures and MGM had submitted Foster’s story to the censors at the Hays Office, probably indicating that both studios had interest in the project before Columbia purchased it. Joseph Breen, the head of that office, warned the studios: “[W]e would urge most earnestly that you take serious counsel before embarking on the production of any motion picture based on this story. It looks to us like one that might well be loaded with dynamite, both for the motion picture industry, and for the country at large.” Breen specifically objected to “the generally unflattering portrayal of our system of Government, which might well lead to such a picture being considered, both here, and more particularly abroad, as a covert attack on the Democratic form of government.” and warned that the film should make clear that”the Senate is made up of a group of fine, upstanding citizens, who labor long and tirelessly for the best interests of the nation...”

Muslims need to be controlled. That’s why muslim countries need dictators. Freedom does not work for muslims.

That is very interesting (about the movie). I guess it is true that there is nothing new under the sun...
