Those lonely Americans are defending Bob's right to be as stupid in

In what way do you see them fighting for American liberty or freedom?
What can they possibly accomplish that benifits this country?
Bob could be speaking arabic if things go as planned (by Al Qaida)..
Are they going to swim here and storm the beaches of New Jersey?
How quickly we forget. They have a preference for commercial air
flight.
Once
they get a foothold they will take over the school board and change
the language curriculum? Is that what you fear?
Is it?
My understanding is that they simply implement their law without
discussion.
"I think that people want peace so much that one of these days
government had better get out of their way and let them have it."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Yep. We got their's out of the way...
People are people - any time, any place.
Initially the majority of citz wanted peace and were proud to
participate in elections. Terrorist insurgents changed that.
They are defending the oil companies right to control their supplies
and the military contractors right to sell endless gazillion dollar
weapon contracts.
They are defending the right of Chaney-Haliburton, Bush-Carlyle,
Rumsnamara-Bechtel, and Rice-Chevron to make all sorts of oursourcing
profits on "services" we don't need and they mostly don't really
deliver.
Wow! Feeding and housing soldiers isn't needed? Air NPR would have a
field day with that little nugget.
Was WW2 and Korea catered? I didn't read about that in my history
classes. Radical idea here - the army is self contained, self
sufficient, and self securing.
That hasn't been true since the Clinton Administration. You get rid
of every uniformed person except the combatants, and let contracts if/
when services are needed. That way you have more money for medicare.
What a novel idea. I'm going to call
the pentagon on Monday.
And triple the size of the standing military so that "services" are
included?
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the
acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by
the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise
of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We've certainly seen a disasterous rise in whining...
You will dismiss anything you don't want to face up to with a quick
wisecrack.
Do you fear the medical industrial complex? the media industrial
complex?
"We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our
liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper
meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with
our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may
prosper together."
-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address to the
nation January 17, 1961
I guess Ike was a rug chewing liberal by NeoCon standards.
You would have to ask a neocon to get the proper response to that one.
Oh, I'm corresponding with one no matter how desperately you try to
hide your stripes.
Always with the names and labels, right Winston?
