Have you lost it?

I did no such thing, get back on your meds!

[Obadiah]

Good post.

[dforest]

Yes you did. Quit the dishonesty.

There is hope, my friend. There is hope:

"My friends, Surely this will be the last opportunity for me to address you. The Air Force has bombed the antennas of Radio Magallanes. My words do not have bitterness but disappointment. May they be a moral punishment for those who have betrayed their oath: soldiers of Chile, titular commanders in chief, Admiral Merino, who has designated himself Commander of the Navy, and Mr. Mendoza, the despicable general who only yesterday pledged his fidelity and loyalty to the Government, and who also has appointed himself Chief of the Carabineros [paramilitary police]. Given these facts, the only thing left for me is to say to workers: I am not going to resign! Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seeds which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever. They have force and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested by neither crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history. Workers of my country: I want to thank you for the loyalty that you always had, the confidence that you deposited in a man who was only an interpreter of great yearnings for justice, who gave his word that he would respect the Constitution and the law and did just that. At this definitive moment, the last moment when I can address you, I wish you to take advantage of the lesson: foreign capital, imperialism, together with the reaction, created the climate in which the Armed Forces broke their tradition, the tradition taught by General Schneider and reaffirmed by Commander Araya, victims of the same social sector who today are hoping, with foreign assistance, to re-conquer the power to continue defending their profits and their privileges. I address you, above all, the modest woman of our land, the campesina who believed in us, the mother who knew our concern for children. I address professionals of Chile, patriotic professionals who continued working against the sedition that was supported by professional associations, classist associations that also defended the advantages of capitalist society. I address the youth, those who sang and gave us their joy and their spirit of struggle. I address the man of Chile, the worker, the farmer, the intellectual, those who will be persecuted, because in our country fascism has been already present for many hours -- in terrorist attacks, blowing up the bridges, cutting the railroad tracks, destroying the oil and gas pipelines, in the face of the silence of those who had the obligation to act. They were committed. History will judge them. Surely Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal instrument of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country. The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either. Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again and free men will walk through them to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers! These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason. Santiago de Chile, 11 September 1973 "

You get some manners. Apparently a few others read what I read.

I know you like Palin. I like her too. She would frown on what you said.

None of our people are worthless boobs, with the exception of McCain and Linseed.

The only worthless boob sits as President.

The Chilean coup d’état of 1973. LOL!

I would venture to say that you're assumption about doing and giving more is wrong. And I would also venture to say that you haven't got a clue as to the proper role of an ex-President.

But I have no doubt you'll continue to insert irrelevant Bush bashing on future threads, because that's what you do. The rationale for such odd behavior remains to be seen.

(btw, this thread is about Michelle Bachman, not President Bush, in case you missed that).

[ohioWfan]

"you're" = "your"

I hate typos. FR needs an edit feature.

[devistate one four]

Me too!

Love your tag!

[devistate one four]

Yep! either way on that ticket is a winner!

[mojitojoe]

They aren’t even hiding their Marxist coup attempt now. It’s pretty much out in the open and they don’t see much reaction other than some phone calls, a few small protests so the sky is the limit. The Marxist usurper in the WH knows he has a limited time to complete what he needs to do and he isn’t going to stop now..... he’s doubling down now.

indylindy — Is you stupid or somethin?

[dforest]

No, but your post is.

[LibLieSlayer]

You are showing how truly ignorant that you are. First... you are wrong about me. Second... I was answering a direct question as to where Bush IS while our version of Rome burns... and Thirdly... I will match my experience and actions against yours any day. Just look at my past postings and you will know the truth. As I said... inform yourself and quit being a lap dog for a family that cares more about globalism and the one world order than they do about our Constitution and the Liberty and Freedoms that it represents. You are not stupid... you would not be here if that were the case... so learn about that which you have so wrongly maligned.

I'm not ignorant - actually, I've extremely well informed, thank you, but not prone to being swayed by assumptions and political agendas. And everything I've said is accurate.

Now, I love Michelle Bachman, and agree with what she said. Do you have an opinion about her?

[dforest]

I agree with you. Bush should have stood up and he has not. Doesn’t appear he plans to either.

That is one of the things that bothered me about Bush. he never spent any time defending himself. Well, he did when it came to saddling us with amnesty.

[itssme]

Michelle Bachmann IS presidential material. She is articulate, knowledgeable, makes an excellent appearance, is a terrific public speaker, and she is a hard-working fighter. She is not afraid to call people by their correct names....communist/socialist obama for example. She has political experience under her belt.

And nancy pelousy hates her.

Go, Michelle Bachmann, GO!

[LibLieSlayer]

Yes... I think that she is a very astute lady... and I like what she said. I also agree with you about FR needing an edit button. ALL that I am saying is that Bush needs to talk about America being under attack from within. This Nation is on the brink of failure... Rush knows it... Levin knows it and Americans know it. The time for President Bush to speak out against this coup in DC has long since passed... but it is never too late... but last week he said that he would NEVER do it. Stubborn just like he was when he promised America when he was pushing Amnesty... “I'll see you at the signing”. Even Rove stated this week that he was WRONG in advising Bush to NOT fight back and not to fight back against the WMD lies the dims told. Rove was wrong then and admitted it... Bush never will... even though he knows that he was wrong. He is a stubborn man.
