DUmmies would shite themselves if they realized they were using a term introduced to the language by President Dwight Eisenhower (a Re-Thuglican)

MIC stood for Military Industrial Complex

Really funny—”MIC”=”globalist” on this forum when people are casting-about looking for someone to blame for their own troubles . . . .

It’s utterly mind boggling that the left has been able to wholly misrepresent President Eisenhower‘s farewell/so called “Military Industrial Complex” speech. The “MIC” portion was only an example of possible abuses of by a post WW II government vastly grown in scope and power.

In our age of AGW hysteria, it is interesting that one of his other rhetorical illustrations of possible abuse of our government was “The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.”

Either there IS NO MIC, or Obama is the HEAD of the MIC

which makes 0 bummer FUBAR [eff'ed up beyond any (or all) repair]. No hope, no change. He may also be a KISS [keep it simple stupid] for dummies. Or he may be a BLUFF [bottom / subject line up front] which dummies hide, since it may contain the truth.

Old Sarge, the acronyms we had to deal with are endless in the DUmp. They probably think SOP stands for 'Same old p....' - forget it before I get banned or suspended.

These people are really dim. Obama is owned by the Chicago Outfit. Various corporate interests rent his contract, the Crony Capitalists. The people in the White House, Daley, Jarret, (sp?) who confirm that the Elected Crook makes the right decisions to steer big money to the proper hands.

The GM bankruptcy, A123, ect, ect.

Perhaps it’s more in keeping with the Dummies’ line of thinking to refer to it not as the MIC (Military Industrial Complex), but a kinder and gentler Defense Industrial Complex (DIC).

It can rightly be said then, that BO is all over the DIC.

Further, one might argue that since Strategic Air Command (SAC) is part of the DIC - an integral part, almost inseparable - then BO’s interest is divided between the DIC and the SAC.

But then of course, the concept of an Anti-Nuclear United States (or ANUS) in crucial to Leftist policy. So naturally, this explains BO’s intense fascination with ANUS.

Can I keep going? There’s more to see...

Usually abbreviations are of something real. This military industrial complex is a figment of hippy peacenik imagination, so therefore is redundant.

I honestly don't think Obama makes that red line comment if he wasn't pressured by the MIC lobbyists.

IIRC, wasn't the red-line comment a result of Obama ad-libbing and deviating from the 'prompter?
