well buggar me. is it against the law to think yet?
What the hawks fail to comprehend is that public debate and dissent are the very principles upon which our nation was founded and which enabled it to develop into the political and economic power it has become. Current global economic crises notwithstanding.
Sadly, unless the hawks and their authoritarian agenda are nipped in the bud soon, many of the founding principles of liberty, justice, and government accountability will be little more than footnotes in the pages of history.
It is of course an accusation that has been aired more and more recently, bizarrely coinciding with increased critiscism of the current US administrations policies not the US as a whole.
'Stupid white men' wasn't banned but the original publishers refused to publish the book in the wake of 11/9 because of it's critiscims of the administration.....
I would say that Anti-Americanism is hostility to the uncultured materialistic yankee way of life America imposes on other nations. Why does it exist? Well it is quite simple - America refuses to mind its own damn business! Yankee go home! Many of us in the Amexican South have been saying that for over a hundred years!
Isolationism will solve nothing. It will only cause more wars.
Most people in the United States don't want to be like Massachusetts.
But since you are so sure that is the intent, can you explain to me how the Philippines are like Massachusetts? How about Germany? Japan? South Korea? Thailand? Puerto Rico? Panama? Grenada? Haiti? Lebanon? Honduras? Nicaragua? El Salvador? New Guinea? The Solomons? Okinawa? Kuwait? Diego Garcia? Turkey?
So its all a big conspiracy to control the world. So we all now where your coming from, is it left wing or right wing. Clandestine has dibs on the right wing.
I do not believe in the stupidity of the so-called "left wing" or the so-called "right wing." No it is not any big "conspiracy" to control the world. It is called Geopolitics. See former NSA advisor Brzenski's the Grand Chessboard.
Yes that is very true. Unfortunately throughout hundreds of years of American history charlatans from Massachusetts have thought otherwise.
Sounds like a list of "evil" nations and "evil" territories to me. Perhaps you should add South Carolina to that last, very very evil place indeed. Perhaps it is time to burn a witch on an axis of evil, not a problem for the righteous crusader of all that is good in the universe! Hallelujah! Glory, nuke his ass! Of course, we could flat out write their constitutions.
Damn, Clandestine. We agree on something!
:eek:
I also agree with you on Sen Kennedy. He is just as bad as Pres Nixon.
