One way to celebrate Armistice Day is to recognize
that Fact.
One reason SO many Great Americans { Veterans's } Enlisted.
I won't digress.

Nobody Knows My Name {1961}

" Freedom is not something that anybody can be given,
freedom is something people take. "

-- J. B. {?}

" Freedom of belief is pernicious,it is nothing but the freedom
to be wrong. "

-- St.Robert Bellarmine { Italian Cardinal }

Must have been reading a few war memorials round the neighbourhood lately.

Cardinals don't serve in ANY Army.
And I doubt a Homosexual Negro did either.

" As for me,I am against Freedom,I am for the Blessed Inquisition.
Freedom is shit,and that's why all these countries founder,
from an excess of Liberty. "

-- Salvador Dali

Purdy SurreaL ... Eh !

Yes, freedom isn't free. I've heard that all my life. The problem is, our military is not engaged in the struggle for freedom. We attacked a country that posed no threat to us. (Now it is evident there were no WMDs ... exactly what the UN Inspectors were telling us... and Saddam wanted Iran to think he had nukes to prevent Iran from attacking him...) Now Darth Vader Cheney and his henchmen are wanting us to attack yet another country that poses no threat to us - Iran. What a shame. Have we gone crazy?

The Philosophy of Right {1821}

" Freedom is nothing but the recognition and adoption of such
universal objects as right and law,and the production of a
reality that is accordant with the State. "

-- Hegel

" The Peacemaker "


" What matters Death,if Freedom be not dead?
No flags are fair,if Freedom's flag be furled.
Who fights for Freedom,goes with joyfull tread.
To meet the fires of Hell against him
hurled. "

-- {Alfred} Joyce Kilmer { American poet }

Excellent point.

Just our far-right Republifascist leaders.

And the +50 million useful idiots who voted them into office.

I wanna say somethinng here that some Yanks will take exception to.

You have no idea what 'freedom' means until its taken away from you.

All said-Americans are lucky they dont know what Im talking about.

Not so thar Canadian Bacon Boy.
We even play a National Anthem {" Star-Spangled Banner "}
ford entering into Play.
That is The Greatness of America and it's Home of the Brave,
And Land of the Free.

A lot of situations are not free. I saw where the Iraq/Afgan war has cost the U.S. appx: 2 trillion dollars. Which I believe was borrowed from Saudi, Japan, and China.

If you are good at math, how much does each American owe at this point?

My Point being that Freedom ALWAYS comes at a price.
Our Beloved Soldiers of past and present Wars are Fighting Literally
for that Freedom,that seems a Given to Most Dimocrats.
Oh ! And what's Free you ask.?
Just about every dagnabbit thing a democrat runs on.
Free health care.
Free Education.
Free Housing and meals and meal ticket and food stamps and
College and Lawyers and Maternity leave and paid vacations
and even Free stipend for those with disability like Free monthly
allowance for alcoholics and Free methadone and Free Bus &
Train transfers and Free Internet at Library and well probably
free smokes if done In a Free Zone safe from Republicans.
lets Face it,This Country is doin just fine.
Butts,Putz a Dimocrat IN as Prez and Wham Bam thank You
Kazaam...right down the tubes in no time Like Carter.
AND That's a Fact.

Paul, you make an excellent point:

Look at what is happening in Pakistan. This is what Bush wants to do here. Bush has already shreded the 4th, 6th, and 8th amendments to our Constitution, and the dimwitted Democrats have sat by and allowed it to happen. Shame on them....

I personally Like Fox legal Analyst Judge Napolitiano but disagree
highly with his new book -- Constitution in EXILE: How the Federal
Government has Seized Power By ... -- which may hinge a little
too much on famous words like Benjamin Franklin and," sacrificing
essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety ".That may
be disconcerting and inappropriate,especially given the dire
straights this Country was put in,after 9/11.

However the Judge also explains a very important lesson in
History.How Government has grown over time,citing key laws and
Supreme Court decisions that were insulting to the original intent
of our founding fathers.
Lest I remind many,that Our Founders are No longer with us.
And it may be highly incumbent for a New Founding.
One based on Continuation.Life if nothing else is a Continuum.
An onward cycle of striving for More or Better or just mere
existence.
I doubt a Founding Father ever envisioned a Breed of Terrorist,sheerly
Hellbent consumed with the annihiliation of anyone not a party to their
extremism.

More than they will ever be able to repay.

IOW........it's over. Or soon will be.

The American Empire has met its match in the abysmal leadership of B*sh and Company. It is on its last legs.

The dollar is set to collapse and this country is about to be forced into bankruptcy.........and thus into Third World status.

Gee!.........thanks Gee Dubbaya!!

Yep, that's $20,000 per person. And Bush is complaining that the Democrats are like a teenager with a credit card?

He is the teenager, with a smirk, and a credit card!

The Empire strikes back:

Republicans will hit ya with-thats only 2% of GDP.

2% of the GNP?

still it is Bush who is the teenager with the smirk and a credit card.

GNP-right.

Thats worse.

Any suggestions what USEFUL things could have been done in the US with that money.

Free schooling.

that sort of thing.

what about health care? When Smirk accomplished his coup, 42 million Americans did not have health care. Now some estimate that figure is 49 million.

I was thinking about a couple of things.

Not that long ago I said somewhere else,

that Bush was responsible for the hike in world oil prices,

the response was me being attacked by the 'guts and glory gang'

accusing me of not knowing what Im talking about.


Secondly-I was/am following that thread about healthcare.

I find it hard to follow at times as I dont pay for healthcare as a direct bill-
but thru my 'income tax'.

In the North here-we pay a lump sum of tax on are income-then the gov pays the bills outta it-sort of.

Yep, that's $20,000 per person. And Bush is complaining that the Democrats are like a teenager with a credit card?

He is the teenager, with a smirk, and a credit card!

Yup,The Bush man Knows.
Bush coulda said,in all fairness that the Democrats are like
Drunken College kids with their Parents credit Card on Spring
Break.
Democrats don't believe in controlling spending.
Nor tax cuts.
They are reprehensibly inefficient at managing ANYTHING cept
their Mouths.

President Bush is a good roll model for conservative belt tightening,

wasting billions of tax payers dollars on unwarranted wars.

One way to celebrate Armistice Day is to recognize
that Fact.
One reason SO many Great Americans { Veterans's } Enlisted.
I won't digress.

You really wanna compare the two (http://clinton5.nara.gov/WH/Accomplishments/eightyears-01.html)?? :rolleyes:

Absolutely NO comparrison,whatsoever.
Our Pres was a Businessman,Fighter pilot,graduated TWO
highly elite University,Ran Ameirica's Great Pastime with a
major league baseball team and maybe pulled back a few
brewski.
Clinton not only Tried Pot but also did Coke with his Drug dealing
brother in Arkansas.I remember reading in The American Spectator
a Landlord recounting how Bill would go over to Visit Roger at his
apartment and the snortin could be heard,through the walls.

Bush doesn't make a practice of appearing LATE like was the
practice of Slick Willy at Press Conferences.
Bush isn't a big toothy braggart.
Bush doesn't have a lustfull roaming perverts eye.
There isn't ONE allegation of sexual impropriety with Our current pres.
Bush can throw a much better first pitch at the start of baseball
season.Could probably drink that Scumbags Clinton undewr the table
and Out-skeet him with a firearm.
All Clinton is and was good for is laughin at.Whether it bee his
goofy toothy self-gratifying grin or way he tries to suck-up
to a crowd by tellin tall tales.

.....At least, that's what The Campaign-Literature (http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm) claimed. :lolhit:
