yea it is crazy...i mean, the phony story of 9/11 was a lot worse and we literally had to see and discover that for ourselves...in my case YEARS later After the fact *shakes head* When I saw Bill Clinton had been heckled about 9/11and he came out all tough "9/11 was..19 hi-jackers" I was *really* amazed at how deep the shit is. 9/11 wasn't even his "political football" and I would be willing to bet if any politician gave the official story literally any question, he'd be a VERY popular candidate making lots of waves with the American peopl--but that's not what Bill did...quite apparently, his impetus rather was to display/prove loyalty to the conspirators or powers that be...THAT really scares the hell out of me. I'm not very confident about the Clintons to say the least of course.
And the thought occurs to me that the next attempt by the government to do such a thing will be MUCH harder to uncover. They will have learned a few things by then about how effective they should be. The next someone with "Bush's" bs agenda to betray and kill Americans through staged events that are not as though they would seem to be, just might be a much more "likeable," even "respectable" guy...someone with whom we'd honestly not be able to find much fault with as has been much easier as regards Bushes many stupidities. Well, how bout Obama??? *shivers* I don't wanna knock him, and I'd certainly hope not with all the bs smears out there about him already, but...like I say, I really don't trust any of them...AT ALL
We should learn to be VERY watchful from now on... VERY watchful...they'll wait till Americans are complacent once again to pull some shit like that. And I bet the arguments for it will seem SO much more reasonable... perhaps... but to the point we're giving up rights to supposedly accomplish seemingly plausible aims...like giving up guns and allowing businessmen to "shoot to kill" (ala the little-known INFRAGARD) in the event of martial law is just something that we'll always need to guard against...at all costs. Freedom isn't exactly free is it? NOT with these bass turd fascist neo cons who have so much money, all they can think about is controlling people. I know it all sounds so fantastic but that's why it's so effective.... yea crazy is the word...

You know echoz you have a point.
People just accept this as a phenomena, but what if it's part of the whole "fear" conspiracy control? Crazy!

I honestly wonder if these outrageous shootings aren't government crap too...that's a recent phenomena I don't recall ever seeing before... I don't trust the government and they are capable of inciting an ignorant public to give up the second amendment through staged/incited crap just like this. Honestly...who says I'm gonna make a statement by going to kill innocent people at a university and then no one asks any questions about it like it's just "accepted" Does no one investigate who these people are? I *really* wonder...

Thank god for the second amendment and the NRA (it is a love/hate relationship with those folks).
We hate the fact that people are using guns in campus shootings and rampage shootings in Malls, but boy if our government gets completely out of hand, the second amendment assures us the ability to rise up against them.
Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson regarding the second amendment. He proclaimed that the purpose of the second amendment was to give the people a way to keep the government in check; with their guns...

Well isn't that how it feels? The dems were elected in 2006 and what have they done other than appear to be skidding their tires? Maybe Obama is giving them courage they never had before....

love the title =) they FINALLY grew a pair lol
Keith Oberman ( http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23174929#23174929 ):
"The idea that even the most cynical and untrustworthy of politicians in our history, George W. Bush, would use the literal form of terrorism against his own people was dangerous territory. It seemed to tempt fate, to heighten fear.
We will not fear any longer. We will not fear the international terrorists, and we will thwart them. We will not fear the recognition of the manipulation of our yearning for safety, and we will call it what it is: terrorism. We will not fear identifying the vulgar hypocrites in our government, and we will name them. And we will not fear George W. Bush. Nor will we fear because George W. Bush wants us to fear."
don't let 'em drive you out ocanada...phukm

One other thing...the headline reads " The House Grows a Pair"
Is that a pair of cajones? testy's?
I am glad the house rejected the Senate bill.
Everyone that is responsible should be held accountable for their illegal activities.

When the republicans walked out in protest, I wish they were never allowed back.
Those MFer's
I wish I had Michael Valentine Smith's Martian abilities wherein I would grok the "wrongness" of the GOP and reincarnate all of them into little babies...oops you mean there are no more republicans old enough left to serve in the government...you mean their all babies now...well saints alive...you mean there are only Democrats and Independents to serve....well I'll be...

The House has essentialy been shut down. The republicans walked out. This is so sad, the president has some serious abuses that violate the constitution, that is the highest order of this land and is above all reproach save the populace. This whole administration has contempt for this country! I am so torn. I hate what America has become and how much damage is done with impunity. I may leave America after finding higher education and I do not intend to return for quite sometime if I do. I just can't watch the news anymore....which is problematic I work at a news network so in the course of a day I see a whole lotta news.
