bin Laden’s most successful attack on....

...America. Reverse Psychology!

you really should stop making threads... i mean for a man you hate, you sure do focus on him a lot. i bet you keep a chart for when he passes gas...

Yeah. Hes a rich white republican. Get over it.

   Eat me. I like politics. I saw the story. I thought I'd make a joke. I don't like Bush, not because he's a "rich white republican" but because he and his party are and have been laying waste to this country for the past 5 years. You may not care about that, and you may not think it's true but I do and maybe you should. Besides that, you don't like the thread, don't post in it. People complaining about a thread is a hundred times more annoying than any thread by itself. I personally would rather see some threads that invite discussion than 15 daily attempts at people to be funny and witty. One of these days I might resign myself to being a nice quite uninterested sheep that confines his discussion to sports and reality tv but until then deal with it, and stop spamming.

The word idiot comes from the greek "idiôtès", it was used to refer to those who refused to involve themselves in the processes of the republic, ie: politics.

Just a tid bit.

Elaboration:


Hmm....where to begin...Ok, lets start with 9/11. He and Rummy delayed the full out invasion of Afghanistan for something like 16 days, highly weakening our chances of catching OBL and getting the justice he promised us. He then topples the Taliban and gives control, at least to the degree that it's possible in that area, to the Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance are Islamic fundamentalists, just not as extreme at the former regiem. Not to mention they have strong ties to Iran. He also fails to shut down the Poppy industry in the country, allowing mucho heroin to continue to be made out of their products. SO, he pretty much sorta gets Afghanistan done up and decides he'll go ahead and try out the Neocon's little social experiment in Iraq. He cherry picks intelligence, and/or lies, to us and the rest of the world and convinces congress to give him the power to invade Iraq. He sends too few troops in with insufficient planning and topples the only thing, however brtual and evil that thing was, that was keeping that country together. He declares that we've won and then our under-enforced, under-equiped, under-prepared army gets to start fighting the verious insurgencies that pop up, meanwhile the islamic world is growing more and more intoleranant of us being there and anti-US sentiment is growing even more than it had up till then. And not just in the mideast, the rest of the world sees how FUBAR "we" are and we miss out on the huge bank of support they gave us after 9/11, squandered by the cowboy who told the organization we set up to insure people didn't go invading other countries randomly, as well as the rest of the world except out awsome "coalition of the willing" to go screw themselves. So now we're bogged down in an insurgency that would probably take 20 years to finally snuff out if we could afford to stay that long, and so far we've lost about 2700 lives, about 4 trillion dollars, and had about 30,000 of our boys wounded for a false premises and an illconcieved notion that we would spread democracy to the hapless millions and they'd love us for it and start buying happy meals. Meanwhile, we're basically ignoring nuclear North Korea and the Iran thing could blow up at anytime.

But that was just the foriegn policy stuff......Jesus, I could go on about the first tax cuts in history during war time, the budget cuts that will probably hurt our kid's chances of paying for college and getting medicaid and/or social security among other things, the Patriot Act, the illegal wiretaping, insecure ports and boarders, the whole Katrina debacle, they never found the Anthrax guy(s)or OBL, the various embarassing criminal investigations in the GOP, the questionable elections.....not to mention the fact that the majority of congess is now controlled by corporate America. But hey, don't listen to me, I'm just an America hating, **edited** loving, gun banning, unpatriotic, loser, democratic, terrorist.


I could go on for pages....I think I'm going to write my last English paper on it here in a week or two, I'll post it.

Politics are certainly not lame.

Cool, you know the etymology of the word idiot. Unfortunately, that was ancient Greece...This is modern day America. Politics are lame whether you're right or left wing it doesn't matter. You can't win either way.

I thought it was cool too. But ya know, it that freakin additude right there that makes politics "lame". Its the people that are like "all politicians are liars" and "you can't win either way" that let this bs happen. Politics matter. These people work for us, they are supposed to be doing things in our best interests. When they aren't calling it stupid politics and moving on to other "more important" or "more interesting" things is enabling them and screwing ourselves that much more.


But, unfortunately, you're in the majority in this country so I guess it doesn't matter what I think. Whatever, sometimes I think the good ol' USA diserves what's comming to it. I'm a little too patriotic to make that stick but still....we allow these idiots to play on our hates and fears and elect them on their "morals" and then ignor it when they show us that they are full of crap....we're handing them the freakin broom handle unbuckling our belt....
