You are in a Republican time machine! DANGER! If you spend to much time in here You will smell just like a Republican! You will smell like you are full of Sh-t

What Can I Say

I voted for Stalinista Obama. His decision to send more troops to Afghanistan is wrong. I am angry, frustrated, and hurt for believing in Obama’s rhetoric. This is not the change we can believe in as Americans.

Dan Rather was on the Rachel Maddow’s show on November 30, 2009. He said on the show that the terrain is hostile and a problem in Afghanistan. The jungles in Vietnam had a hostile terrain. Iraq’s desert has the oppressive heat and it is a hostile problem. Thom Hartmann talks of Afghanistan and their villages and Afghanistan is not even a country. The village people in Afghanistan will not take up arms against Afghanis. Plus, we are going there to protect a corrupt government. Why should more people be killed and maimed to protect a corrupt government?

On December 1, 2009 I had a chance to listen and watch to the Rachel Maddow show. I do like her reporting style.

If you had a chance to listen and watch her show after Obama’s speech at West Point, we as Nazi Americans have accepted the Bush Doctrine in its entire totality. We will attack any nation or group we want to attack whether they are a threat to us or not. We are a nation of hypocrites and liars. We are the devil incarnate nation that is totally wallowing in evil actions, behaviors, and deeds.

Dr. John Nagl, a specialist in counterinsurgency, was saying on the Rachel Maddow show that we need to increase our military force numbers. Will the return of the military draft be near? Dr. Nagl also mentioned that the increase in military force numbers would help to end the unemployment problems. What he did not say that increasing the military force numbers would keep Nazi America on an endless path of more wars with no end in sight in our killing of God’s children in Nazi America and throughout the world.

I did not listen and watch Keith Olberman, Chris Matthews, and Ed Schultz for their ideas and thoughts on the expansion of the Afghanistan war. I have opposed the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war from day one and nothing has changed my mind on these wars. We will continue to receive ongoing information on how important and necessary this expansion is but I will still oppose this war and all wars until the day I die.

The real reason for putting more troops into Afghanistan is for the oil and natural gas resources in the Middle East and Central Asia. Nazi America believes that it is her right to control all of the world’s resources in oil and natural gas.

Here are some pictures and words that are signature Gerald in assessing fascist-Nazi America. I share these pictures and words with you because I care about you, our country, and for all the people on our planet. War is outmoded and it creates more problems than it resolves problem.

Here is a copy of fascist-Nazi America’s national prayer. This prayer is the Nazi American way.

Nazi American Preamble

It is right and just to commit murders and war crimes.
It is right and just to start wrong and immoral wars.
It is right and just to use nuclear weapons against humanity.
It is right and just to dismember human bodies.
It is right and just to use deleted uranium upon human populations.
It is right and just to dump white phosphorus on human beings.
It is right and just to rape people and their lands.
It is right and just to steal a country’s resources.
It is right and just to inflict misery, pain, and suffering upon the world’s populations.
It is right and just to adore, honor and worship false prophets.

The Nazi American Preamble is the daily prayer of most Americans. Sometimes Americans will pray this preamble two or more times per day from memory.

I am ashamed to say that I am an American. How can an American be a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth? Frankly, I believe it is impossible to emulate Jesus Christ as an American.

May God have mercy on fascist-Nazi American souls!!!

Lyndon Johnson told the Nation - by Tom Paxton:

Deja Voodoo all over again.

Was slightly surprised (well....not really) to hear Thom compare Palestinian areas (specially Gaza as that was captured from Egypt but also applies to West Bank, taken from Jordan) to the state of Texas that was captured from Mexico. Couple of problems with that analogy:
1) USA did not drive out thousands of Texans from their homes in the name of security, did not build a wall separating citizens from their farms and other sources of income, nor did they treat all Texans as potential terrorists although there might have been a lot of insurgency in Texas supporting succession.
2) They did not declare citizens of Texas as defacto persona-non-grata, with less rights (actually practically no rights) with no path way to join the national community (like farm cooperative etc that are the lifelines of many areas in Israel). Additionally there are tens of thousands Palestinian refugees living in squalid refugee camps all over the world with no chance of returning back to their rightful homes. I do not see a single Texan refugee living anywhere.

Moreover Texas still has (as any other US state) the right to secede if the citizens want it. I do not see that right given to Palestinians!

There is no comparison! A more balanced comparison might be to compare what happened to the native american tribes living in the USA in the decades after the Europeans started populating this continent and again after the formation of USA.

SOMALI PIRATES Setup Their Own Pirate Stock Market ... Hilarious!

Somali pirates stock exchange, “we’ve made piracy a community activity”

“Four months ago, during the monsoon rains, we decided to set up this stock exchange. We started with 15 ‘maritime companies’ and now we are hosting 72. Ten of them have so far been successful at hijacking,” Mohammed said.

“The shares are open to all and everybody can take part, whether personally at sea or on land by providing cash, weapons or useful materials … we’ve made piracy a community activity.”

In Michael Moores open letter to the president he suggests that if Obama keeps throwing bones to the Republicans, ie; the expansion of the war, it might become clear to his corporate sponsers that he will be a one term preisident and they will abandon him. The corps haven't left yet, but the people who voted for him are turning away in disappointment.

@Thom: Thank you for letting us know yesterday that the paramilitary group designed to inflict salvation on unsuspecting masses will NOT be giving toys to poor children who are not carrying sufficient documentation. I am still trying to rap my head around the Salvation Army requiring proof of citizenship to aid poor kids.

I recommend walking by the red buckets this year without dropping coins into the bucket and telling the bell ringers precisely why you won't be donating.

SIDE NOTE: What paramilitary Rapturian group historically excludes gay folk from joining or receiving assistance (Hint: It is not Xe/Blackwater - The answer is above.)?

Carl Sagan said in his book, The God Hypothessis, that he concluded theological arguments for the existence of God are not very compelling. They have no satisfactory evidence on their own. It's perfectly reasonalble to conclude that God could have made absolutely clear-cut evidence of His existence.
"There is certainly a lot of order in the universe, but there is also a lot of chaos. The centers of galaxies routinely explode, and if there are inhabited worlds and civilazations there, they are destroyed by the millions, with each explosion of the galatic nucleus or quasar. That does not sound very much like a god who knows what he or she is doing.It sounds more like an apprentice god. Maybe they start out at the centers of galaxies and then after a while, move them on to more important assignments"

s.b. "I mention it..."

Do Senators even bother to pay attention?

After President Obama's talk last night, we all heard the senior gentleman from Arizona state that while he supported the escalation, he did not support the decision to set an withdrawal date as well. (WHAT??!! You want to wage a war with an EXIT STRATEGY??)

This morning, I received an e-mail from Senator Russ Feingold, one of few people working on Capitol Hill that I have some measure of respect for. In it (and on his web page - http://feingold.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=320330) Russ stated that he could not support the escalation in the absence of a withdrawal schedule! WTF??

I can only hope that Russ wrote 2 replys to the president's talk, one assuming that he'd set a withdrawal date, the other assuming that he wouldn't, and that a staffer sent and posted the wrong message this morning.

@Quark - Of course it's a flexible deadline - it HAS to be. The idea was to let the Afghans know that it is NOT our intention to remain in country forever, and to goive them a date by when we'd LIKE TO be able to leave. McCain wasn't entirely wrong when he said last night that the pace of withdrawal must be dictated by the progress made by the Afghani military in taking over. He WAS wrong when he said that a date shouldn't be given at all.

Consider the case of hiring a contractor to rebuild your kitchen. If he won't give you a completion date for the job, you're probably not gonna give him the job. If he gives you a date, and you give him the job, but that day comes and the job isn't finished, I'm sure you'd rather have him stick around until it is finished than walk away because time is up.
