This guy actually does sound a lot like 0bama; the know-it-all rich kid with the military base that he can’t get closed.
I had two uncles on Okinawa in WII, one grievously wounded. The thought of us giving up ANYTHING that was paid for in blood galls me.
In the words of the day - “The Pacific must become an AMERICAN LAKE.”
I agree wholeheartedly.
Give up NOTHING. Ever.
It’s a touchy topic,,, but most of our troubles in Okinawa have been caused by high profile rapes of young girls, by our military guys who are more into hip hop rather than country music.
That gangsta subculture of ours has caused us incredible damage in too many ways to mention.
Gee...whod’a thunk it... “Gangsta hip hop culture”...hmm, yeah those Irish Catholic and Southern Baptist boys are really running rampant, aren’t they...
What a sick mess we’ve let our culture become... Ooops...Forgot...we’re not allowed to say things like that...might hurt someone’s feelings.
But hey...we’re all “racists” no matter what we do anyway...
Reuters: “fiscally conservative Finance Minister Naoto Kan threw his hat in the ring”
Another article says how the “fiscal conservative” Naoto Kan is pushing for a tax hike.
I think they will raise some taxes while cutting some spending. Not enough to make a real dent, though. They are screwed. However, so are many other developed countries. It is just that Japan went into this downward spiral about two decades ahead of others. Japan managed to hold out for two decades. Other countries won't last that long.
They have a different idea of “fiscal conservatism” than we do, I guess
Yet another leftie is exposed and can’t stand the light. Hopefully, nobama will learn from this guy. nobama...resign in disgrace immediately.
OORah!!!
