Is the Bush plan working?

“1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination”

“Aside from Mtn's definition here, I also speak of the connotations of the word. It's a minor point, but worth making...”

“Pentagon Uses Its Spidey Sense For the Troops

By Hanna Rosin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, April 29, 2005; Page C01

It's clobberin' time! How else to explain yesterday's midday appearance, down in the Pentagon basement, of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (normal human strength, no known superpowers), wedged between Spider-Man and Captain America, trying his best to melt that icy glare of his into a boy-am-I-glad-you-guys-showed-up kind of smirk?

Either Marvel Comics is really hard up for readers and needs an ultra-dynamic, Pentagon-heavy publicity gimmick to boost its sales, or Rumsfeld is finally ready to admit that only a superhero can extricate us from Iraq.

“That's a Washington Post reporter's view of what they were doing there??? Why am I not surprised. The real reason they were there was for a program called America Supports You, a program for servicemen and women around the world. Marvel Comics donates comicbooks for soldiers to read. That is why they were there.

“BINT JBEIL, Lebanon - Hezbollah and its Shiite allies claimed victory in southern Lebanon in Sunday's second stage of national elections, a vote the militant group hopes will prove its strength and send a message of defiance to the United States.
[...]
"All the south came out today to send a clear message to the Americans that they embrace the resistance (Hezbollah's) weapons and that they are independent in their decision and they are not subservient to international resolutions," Sheik Nabil Kaouk, Hezbollah's commander in southern Lebanon, told reporters shortly after voting began in Sunday's second phase of four-stage parliamentary elections.

“Say it again - "Freedom is on the March!"”

“I am confused. Is it a surprise that 1/3 of the towns in the west bank hate isreal and that they only care about war and not peace?”

“And see, even when the millitant killers win elections and stuff like this we still sit around with our hemp necklaces on and say, "Hey man, like, don't be harshin' on the Islamic people man. They are people too we just need to be nicer to them and stuff.".

We need to step it up, not play nice.

This is also a great example of why I feel democracey will NOT work in the Arab Islamic states.”

“Nigal, watch it you might be called a liberal for thinking that way”

“With all due respect Ewker...phuck you.”

“now, now Nigal, don't go getting yourself all worked up because I mentioned that you might be called a liberal. You know a good conservative would never ever think democracy won't work in the Arab Islamic states.”

“Go start your shlt somewhere else Ewker. Restrict your hyberboli to Stove Stomper. Or better yet earn your damn check for a change...”

“Nigal, wtf is your problem. I didn't realize my comment would piss you off so much. Oh well thats life..lol”

“[sigh] Let me spell it out for you Ewker. I haven’t so much as said ‘boo’ to you in a few months now. I don’t care for your games. I don’t care for your attitude. I don’t care for you. I don’t respect you and I don’t care to associate with you.

Learn to take no for an answer.”

“Nigal, if that is suppose to bother me it doesn't. Very simple don't respond to what ever I post.”

“Then why did you even respond to my post then? It surely wasn't directed or addressed to you. To anger me? That shows a great level of maturity. Are you seeing things clearer now?

Simply put I have no desire or the time for you.

“Ewker - We have quite a bit in common! LOL”

“Is that an overactive stromboli?”

“Ewk - It's funny b/c he started raggin on me when I said he was akin to a liberal also! LOL Must be somethin' to it!?”

“Nigal, You made a comment that I thought was out of line for you and the mostly conservative thoughts you have. That is why I made the comment I did about someone might call you a liberal. I am really suprised no one else caught it and said the same thing I did.

Talk about people playing games and attitudes on here..get real you and everyone else does it.

“Don't sweat it Ewker.

I think sarge is right about the repressed liberal living deep within Nigal.”

“You've just made the list, buster!”

“I’m thinking of organizing my first TT trip.

We’ll start with a NORML rally in Cleveland, head over to Chicago for a gun control demonstration, hit a Phish concert in Duluth, do a little ‘animal liberation’ in Pittsburgh and finish it off with a march in support of oppressive dictators in Akron.

You up for it Nigal?”

“How many oppressive dictators are there in Akron?”

“I've ignored your posts for the last two months Ewker. It didn't seem to be sinking in so I felt the best way was the straight forward and honest way.

I'm not seeking solutions or reconciliation Ewker. I don't hate you and I don't love you. I just don't want to be around you. Just leave me alone.”

“Not many HPM.

That's why they need our support!”

“i thought ashtabula was the dictator haven

well actually, i just love that word and wanted an opportunity to say it.

ashtabula.”

“"If it's gonna be 'dat kind of party I'm stickin' my dikc in the mashed potatas!"

Oh, wrong dicktaters!”

“Aroostook.......I like to hear Mainiacs say that word.


WTF is ashtabula?”

““Aroostook.......I like to hear Mainiacs say that word."

Twigeater? LOL!

Ashtabula is a county in Ohio. The very liberal left area of Cleveland. Ya know, Loveland and the like?”

“I see.
So it's kind of a silent epidemic.”

““I see.
So it's kind of a silent epidemic.”

Not at all. They creech, cry and carry on like most 'progressives'. LOL!”

“schit if ya eat regular, too”

“I will I look for you in Honolulu , San Fransisco , Ashtabula ,
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know.
But I'll see you in the skies above , in the tall grass and the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go .

“WTF is that, The Carpenters?

I don't know about "The Bush Plan", but the crying baby plan seems to be working.”

“WTH kind of hippie are you???

it's dylan”

“I'm the kind that only likes Dylan in small doses.”

“i'm not that big a fan either, but i love shawn colvin's version of the song”

“Nigal, just because you haven't responded to anything I post when you name was probably never even mentioned to start with (except for the liberal comment on this thread). Yet I am suppose to know you are ignoring anything I post..lol

not sure what pissed you off but It must have been something good. Damn and I didn't even know it :( sigh”

“I love it when liberals fight amongst themselves! LOL”

“Speaking of songs by 60s singer-songwriters, here is one (with live intro) by Phil Ochs:

"In every American community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals.
Ten degrees to the left of center in good times. Tends to agree right when it affects them personally.

Love Me, I'm A Liberal
by Phil Ochs
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal”
