You assume that the people have the same values as you. A significant portion of the populace (probably a majority of the elite) have no such reasoning. They truly believe that the imbalance of power the US once held was a greater threat than communism. Such ideas are unquestioned in academia, and have even infected STEM.
I am amazed at the number of defense workers who are completely ignorant of history and are completely amoral in outlook.
That begins with supporting Iraq’s political leaders as they form the kind of inclusive government that can unite the country to confront the threat that their country faces right now....
In contrast, my plan starts with flying unicorns dropping skittles as they fly over head. Then, we.......
My plan has a better chance to launch
Teresahhh, were is my magic hat???
Have you ever heard Lewis Black’s comedy act ?
He goes over the ‘duck and cover’ routines he learned as a child.
Like how we believed the best place to hide from a nuclear freaking fireball was under a ‘wood’ desk (or kindling as he calls it).
"Politics is the art of delaying any decisions until the issue is no longer relevant."
I would like to see Blagojevich testify freely and un- inhibited.
We need to waterboard Tony Rezko
“Many folks now realize (it took 6 years???) that he is worse than anybody could have predicted.”

I know it ain’t cool to brag but he is no worse than I predicted from day one. I know some others who had him pegged also. Most of us were just hoping against hope to be proven wrong. It is bad to be wrong when you want to be right but it is much worse to be right when you want to be wrong.
“Those who ascribe to his “incompetence” simply miss the core truth that explains all of his treasonous acts.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Totally right without possibility of contradiction! It amazes me that some still believe the whole problem is incompetence. If he were TRYING to be a good president he would no doubt display total incompetence at it but since he is trying to be anything BUT a good president, incompetence does not enter the equation.
He didn’t ACTUALLY win a second term.
The stupid Americans who voted in ‘06 and ‘08 to throw out the GOP to turn things over to the Democrats are equivalent in their brilliance to someone who kills a single Copperhead snake in the yard and then pays someone to haul in a truckload of Diamondback rattlers, Cottonmouths, King Cobras and Gaboon vipers.
“I am amazed at the number of defense workers who are completely ignorant of history...”

Then you should be astounded at the number of university graduates with history majors who are completely ignorant of history. I have spoken to a couple and they are equivalent to a math major who cannot tell you what ten percent of one hundred is without a calculator and a textbook. No chance at all that they could pass an eighth grade history final from fifty years ago.
No need to put wood in quotes, in those days they were made of real wood except for a metal frame.
I remember elementary school in the early 50’s. Atom bomb drills where we hid under our desks. Seems funny now.
After returning to the course to plat that day's round, he exclaimed how difficult it was foregoing any Mulligan's during the round. He was quoted as saying “It was brutal, I almost quit. But, I had to do something significant to show some respect for Foley’s sacrifice.”
I would not be surprised at those with degrees being ignorant, it is really those in positions that are supposed to be defending our country. How can you defend that which you don’t understand?
Schools abandoned teaching for propaganda long before I was born, so I could scarce expect anything from their students.
Absolutely. The endless drumbeat of negative news stories aimed at the uninformed voters always makes an impact. Also too, republicans don’t know how to use the power once they get it. There’s a simple solution to the nonsense coming from the media. If and when the republicans gain the congress and the White House, they need to appoint someone to the FCC who will bring the hammer down. Tell the media outlets that they will place a banner on the screen of every news cast that states THIS IS NOT THE NEWS. THIS IS A PAID POLITICAL AD FOR THE DNC. Of course they will go to the courts, but then the FCC will ignore any court order, just like they ignore court orders that favor our side. Then comes crunch time when the building is closed, and sold to the highest bidder. You would only have to do this one time before they realized that you meant business. This sounds far fetched, but look at what the Clintons did at Waco, TX in 1993. They surrounded a building with 80 plus people inside, then burned it to the ground, killing all inside, women and children included. Closing a news station is nothing compared to what they do.
The Department of Education would have made Stalin and Adolph proud. What a sham. Keeping America’s youth ignorant of history may be the democrats greatest achievement in their quest for power.
I also believe if we got several muscular construction workers to manhandle Mayor Rahm, the little pipsqueak would sing like a bluebird while he was plié-ing his *** off.
“Confused” is an understatement-—the combined intelligence of Powers, Rice, Harf and Psaki wouldn’t even fill a teacup.
