It is governments run by businessmen that will set foreign and domestic policy, direct the spending of government money,and control every aspect of our daily lives.
Things might be better if we all lived in "The Matrix", that's pretty much how the American Middle-Class is thought of by the power-elite, we're just "economic batteries."
Judging from the looks on the faces of some of the people at that meeting, they were, indeed VERY unhappy with Bush. There was one guy who NEVER cracked a smile. He just sat there scowling at Bush.
It's not up to me to "grant" you anything. However, in observing your admiration for the founder of the KKK, I would also recall something many of us scorned during the Clinton era -- the concept of "compartmentalization."
The ultra liberal Chronicle always bashes the GOP and Bush any chance they can. They love to divide and conquer and talk up (wishfully) the demise of the Republicans.
This is how it all started a few posts ago with your unsolicited observation that identifies my posts as a "rant" and presumes without any evidence, apart from the nom de plume and the avatar that I "deeply admire" the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
So I responded in a way that should have been clear to you that there were some parts of Forest's life that I admire and others which I do not.
What most men of reason would describe as an enlightened selectivity and felicity of judgment, you derogate as "compartmentalization."
What all readers of this thread will observe is that you have yet to utter a single syllable addressed to the substance of my original remarks.
Propaganda!... pure and simple..
Either Dubya has bought the propaganda OR he is the source..
He(Bush) evidently don't know what ILLEGAL MEANS.. Sandy Burgular would agree.. Poor old Sandy didn't perform some illegality his crime was merely an oversight(hand slapped by the White House).. as old Mary McCarthy did.. The boy is really, "A Unite'er not a Divide'er"..
Ah! BUT what is he Uniting with?.. thats is the question..
Wonder if the Dixie Mafia has threatened Laura and the girls?.. because he seems to operating as tool of the democrat party.. Only ONE thing Bush and the democrats agree on... a WIDE OPEN Mexican Border.. The importation of multi millions of propective democrats and a few RINOS serve WHICH party?..
Is the republican party bewitched?..
Evidently so.. even here a FR.. the bewitching has (some) eyes rolling in their sockets..
Quite to the contrary, I commented on the substance of your remarks by observing how you characterize yourself.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7].
I had read this in a book entitled "In Denial" by Haynes and Klehr, I wonder, if this description applies to you as well as it does to communist apologists? Those apologists resorted to the ad hominem where, in The Soviet Union, it killed people. Here, it merely confounds the high purpose of FreeRepublic because it substitutes appeal to political orthodoxy for persuasion and logic.
When you use language in ways that are utterly incongruent with its plain meaning, as you have here:
Quite to the contrary, I commented on the substance of your remarks by observing how you characterize yourself
you reveal yourself to be worse than a klansman because you wear a verbal mask to conceal your character assination while professing the white robes of political correctness. Sir, you have not addressed the substance. You may quote the Bible out of context just as Soviet murderers quoted Marx, but it does not change the plain meaning of the english language.
Will you at last address the substance of the post?
I've made myself quite plain. You're hero is the founder of the KKK. All your pseudo-lofty, and may I say quite pompous, rhetoric notwithstanding, that is something YOU want the world to know about you. If there is any character "assassination" being done, it is you doing it to yourself.
Will you at last address the substance of the post?
Nope, I won't play your game. Why? Unlike any other human interaction, the internet allows us to show others who we are unencumbered by visual clues that, in the physical world, often create barriers between people. I can't get past the most prominent thing you want people in this virtual world to know about you, which is that your hero is the founder of the KKK. As far as I'm concerned, that negates anything else you may have to say about any subject.
BTW, this is not the first time I've engaged in a dialogue with you along these lines.
The usual trick is for 20 to 30 young men to rent a 3 bedroom, 1 story house, and bunk in together on shifts.
If you'll take a good look, you'll find it's that way around your neighborhood too.
He lost to a Corporatist Democrat.
You'd better believe the rest of the politicians paid attention to that one.
We all pick our pen names for a number of reasons ~ in Muawiyah's case, he was a Dark Ages fellow who did a couple of things that proved he was as close to a Jeffersonian as you were liable to find "way back when".
Folks get upset about Forrest simply because he is so recent ~ and even if you despise the man, he was a He|| of a soldier, and rose through the ranks from Private to General ~ commendable in all armies in all of history.
It's really not criticism to suggest that we can deport these criminals one at a time and thereby avoid anything smacking of massive deportations.
There are, of course, exceptions to thoe general rules ~
The Germans, and the English, tend to be both Democrats and Republicans.
Good analogy.
He has made no attempt to stop the illegal invasion of our country that is placing our citizens lives and property in danger.
He is not enforcing the law of our country simply because he doesn't agree with it.
Actually it is worse because he is selectively enforcing it by letting certain ones violate it while arresting and imprisoning others for breaking it.
If he really wanted to he could seal the borders in a matter of a few days.
It bothers me a great deal when the President ,one man, decides he is above the law and refuses to do what the law and his position and oath require him to do simply because it doesn't personally want to.
We are close to losing control of our country.
Our leaders are getting to the point where like Hamas they don't even bother to try to hide the fact that they don't care what the laws says or what millions of their citizens want or say.
They simply do what they want to and hope we forget. It doesn't really matter to them the law is for us not them.
If they get kick out, so what, they're in the rich privileged class and it ain't going to hurt them or cost them anything.
As long as they and their rich friends get what they wanted it doesn't matter,they don't mix or have to face common people. They just go back to their ivy towers.
We the unwashed should just shut up and be grateful we got such as them to take care of and decide what best for us./s
Some very good points you make.
Thanks
