Stop the Tea Party Racism!

"TeaBaggers, and "(W)Hole Republic Syndicate" are nothing but Institutionalized Racism."

And to highlight your statement I offer this video!

How can one argue against logic?

Not me!

+^d

Even if they have to dig up their fearless Leader Ronnie Raygun!

LOL

HNY, SFirman & Rocky! May the new year bring you happiness and good health!

"Ron Paul is queen of the Tea Baggers and that little prick is as racist as they come."

As I've said many times....Ron Paul and his John Birch Society buddies are nothing more than KKKers in suits!

I doubt any good will come from debating, dscussing or otherwise arguing with the likes of those on this thread who profess Republicanism as the answer to America's woes.

It's a lost cause.

But, changing the subject, you have a wonderful New Year!

I totally agree with your post....well.....the first two words and the last three, that is.

"Andy Breitbart" and "What a crock" go together so well! Like gloves.

I take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt until I take the time and effort to research what was stated. I use all the tools afforded me....foreign newspapers, news sources, journalists, opinionators and pundits. I also read what others, the people in the street, have to say...pro AND con.

My father taught me to search for the truth by seeking it from both sides of the coin and THEN viewing the edge where it's found more times than not. But every once in a while I have to take a set of shears and open that coin up to gaze into it's very core to find what I'm looking for, metaphorically speaking of course! That's when you will find whether it's solid with truth OR just "plated over" inaccurancies.

One of the best "reporters"....as that is what they are SUPPOSED to be - newsmen/women - not commentators...was Edward R. Murrow.

And he had some very enlightening things to say about what responsibilities the news organizations were given and that it was a sacred duty assigned to them for the public good and yet....they and we did not listen to his admonitions, now did we?

Amd he was proven to be correct, too!

If you wish to know a man, ask his friends what they think of him and then ask his enemies to get an overall picture of who he is. That's those two sides of that proverbial coin I spoke of.

And then ask his wife. That's the heart of a man. His core.

P.S. What ERM was referring to was the television set...but it works for the "intertubes", too!

Bill, speaking of people waking up, check out this video of the GOP pushing war....when this country is already broke.

Remember when John McCain was singing, "Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran"? Well, there are TWO MICs I see that's pushing us into war after war....that's the Military Industrial Complex AND the Media Industrial Consortium! And guess who is beholding to them both?

OUR government.

But it seems as if the only way to get the average citizen's attention is when something hits their pocketbooks. Like when the Straits of Hormuz shuts down and we're all paying $15 per gallon of gas....but then it will be too late to do anything about it but keep the "Blood of Industry"...OIL...flowing as much as is possible.

The crisis that will ensue will be created by greed. Do you really believe that the oil industry does NOT want war with Iran? Wouldn't you want war to break out if you were sitting on oil reserves that would triple in value OVERNIGHT? Or how about GOLD! Now that would make a tidy profit for those who squirreled away a load of gold if we "fell" into another world war!

Until we take profit out of waging war, there will ALWAYS be war!

"At various times the question of when and under what circumstances to export arms has also been seen as a moral issue facing the United States. This is so because weapons are, by definition, instruments of violence, and so their transfer to another party is thought by many to entail some degree of responsibility for any uses to which they are put by their recipients. After World War I, for example, many Americans opposed the export of arms on the grounds that their sale contributed to the likelihood of war and also provided obscene profits to the "merchants of death." Similarly, during the Cold War some people objected to the sale or transfer of arms to pro-American dictators such as Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua and Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) who had been accused of egregious human rights violations.

The Civil War, like the wars that preceded it, proved to be an enormous boon to the private arms industry. Once the war ended, however, the U.S. government sharply reduced its procurement of commercially manufactured weapons. To survive in this new environment, private arms companies such as Remington, Winchester, and Colt looked to the civilian market and to foreign customers for the orders needed to survive. This in turn spurred the introduction of new gun designs and manufacturing processes. As a result, American gun firms became adept at the mass production of cheap, reliable, and highly effective firearms.

Although the U.S. government did not always take advantage of this burgeoning capability, other governments were less inhibited. Samuel Remington, the president of Remington Arms Company, opened a sales office in Paris and secured lucrative contracts for the sale of rifles and ammunition to several European countries. Other U.S. firms, including Winchester, also obtained significant contracts from European governments. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, for example, the French army ordered 100,000 rifles and 18 million rounds of ammunition from the Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut (later a division of Remington Arms)." - Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/arms-industry-1

So, as you can understand, there will be those that will see HUGE profits if a war was to break out over oil with Iran. Hasn't the Iraq War taught us ANYTHING?

But a man by the name of General Smedley Darlington Butler explained how war should be funded...and CEOs of war-making materials and war profiteers certainly wouldn't like that to occur!

Why, how would they make money hand over fist if we took profit out of war?
