Racist Democrats!


Sure nowhere in the captions does it say any of these people are Republicans or Democrats, but ya have to know the area.  Strong union Democrats, the lot of them.  And this slide pisses me off.  Look at me I own a business and I have a big gun, and I don't vote for people with foreign sounding names.  Brilliant.  Then again the whole Hussein middle name is months old, and good old J-town is just now getting into it.  Maybe next week they'll start the whole 'He's a secret Muslim' meme, and then finally get the Rev. Wright emails.

Related, you don't see much on the Muslim fear mongering now that the Wright shit hit the fan.

It's these people who are going to get fucking John McCain elected.  Fuck.

...that McCain now believes (and votes for the idea) that others should be subjected to the same conditions as he was or worse. He also has no problems with keeping us in iRaq for another 100 years.

tiny point of order... by clock (2.00 / 0) #3 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 08:04:49 AM EST
...i don't think that we have any reason to believe that american troops won't be there for 100 years.  if you look at his follow-up remarks when grilled on the point, you'll see that (he says) he's comparing it to having troops in korea and japan and kuwait and...everywhere else we've ever been (and won).  the only interesting point was in his follow-up when he said that as long as we're not taking casualties, nobody cares.  he's right on that point.

no president elected in 2008 will "bring the troops home."  should that president remove our presence within 4 years?  hell yes!  will that president?  no.

no stickers on my 49 mpg vw golf tdi either.  i don't believe in either major party or any of the candidates.

Whenever McCain is grilled about anything his routine is the same. He didn't say that, he said it as shorthand, he means exactly the opposite. For fuck's sake the man routinely changes church affiliation depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line he's on, Episcopalian in the north, Baptist in the South.

I don't like the major parties either but there's finally one candidate they've presented who has, over the past 15 months, utterly failed to change his stances, be hypocritical, or weasel his way out of difficult situations. McCain -- having himself suffered torture and fighting in the Senate to prevent it, now thinks it's just peachy. Fuck that and fuck him.

Eisenhower's Letter of Support to Ngo Dinh Diem, October 23, 1954.

Dear Mr. President:
I have been following with great interest the course of developments in Viet-Nam, particularly since the conclusion of the conference at Geneva. The implications of the agreement concerning Viet-Nam have caused grave concern regarding the future of a country temporarily divided by an artificial military grouping, weakened by a long and exhausting war and faced with enemies without and by their subversive collaborations within. Your recent requests for aid to assist in the formidable project of the movement of several hundred thousand loyal Vietnamese citizens away from areas which are passing under a de facto rule and political ideology which they abhor, are being fulfilled. I am glad that the United States is able to assist in this humanitarian effort. We have been exploring ways and means to permit our aid to Viet-Nam to be more effective and to make a greater contribution to the welfare and stability of the government of Viet-Nam. I am, accordingly, instructing the American Ambassador to Viet-Nam to examine with you in your capacity as Chief of Government, how an intelligent program of American aid given directly to your government can serve to assist Viet-Nam in its present hour of trial, provided that your Government is prepared to give assurances as to the standards of performance it would be able to maintain in the event such aid were supplied. The purpose of this offer is to assist the Government of Viet-Nam in developing and maintaining a strong, viable state, capable of resisting attempted subversion or aggression through military means. The Government of the United States expects that this aid will be met by performance on the part of the Government of Viet-Nam in undertaking needed reforms. It hopes that such aid, combined with your own continuing efforts, will contribute effectively toward an independent Viet-Nam endowed with a strong government. Such a government would, I hope, be so responsive to the nationalist aspirations of its people, so enlightened in purpose and effective in performance, that it will be respected both at home and abroad and discourage any who might wish to impose a foreign ideology on your free people.

Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower

This, of course, follows the the SEATO treaty protocol, also signed by the government of Viet-Nam.

They certainly sucked up at least as much as any other Soviet client but the gubmint wasn't installed and run by Moscow nor were the majority of the people agin' it. The one thing that pisses off more former East Germans is that while they wanted more openness, they didn't want their country to disappear.

There's a difference between a "satellite" and a "puppet state", the latter being nothing but a mouthpiece for the foreign government. It was true that Soviet influence was great but the Kremlin didn't dictate most DDR government actions beyond the continually increasing reparations demands and the alignment of the SED goals with those of the Communist Party in Mother Russia.^

Still, I'd rather focus on protecting the lives of people putting their lives in danger right now because of the whims of Bush than on the ego of a demented old man.  McCain doesn't have to be president, and while I can respect his time as a POW, he is a horrible person and not fit to be president.

'Horrible person'? 'Not fit to be president?' by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 1) #25 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 12:55:33 PM EST

So, we definitely have functionally differing definitions of "horrible", as I reserve that label for people who intentionally do harm to people for no particular reason other than their own selfish intents (like, say, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Gacy, Dennis Nilssen, Adolf Hitler, and the like) where I'm not sure what your criteria is, but the "not fit to be president" thing is hilarious. Have we ever had a president who was "fit to be president", or are we just forgetting all the old devils in favor of the assumption that because there's a current devil, obviously the prior devils were angels?

I would say those types of people were worse than horrible.  If I taste food that I don't like, I say it tastes horrible.  I've never had food that tasted like the holocaust.  So I accept that we do have differing definitions of horrible.  I don't equate a horrible person with an evil person.  I don't think John McCain is a good person, but I also don't think he's evil.  He's just stupid, mentally unstable, and not really leader material.

I didn't say anything about anyone else.  As you know, I'm nothing close to a fan of George W. Bush, but at least I can see how he is acting in his own self interests (e.g. financial profit) to continue the war in Iraq.  McCain seems like a true believer in the war, and has proven that he has a shallow knowledge about the situation there.  A guy that doesn't know al Qaeda is Sunni is not going to have a good foreign policy.

With all that being said, I have been saying for a while that I'd prefer a McCain presidency over a Clinton presidency.  However, I'm rethinking that as I learn more about him.  Obama is no saint either, and despite his egotism and apparent hypocrisy on some issues, I'd prefer him over the other two.

Like I said, different defs for 'horrible' by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #31 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 04:12:13 PM EST

Foods that I don't like, I don't consider 'horrible'; just not tasty. Except mayonnaise, of course, which is a heinous crime against humanity in and of itself. Another area our definitions differ is that I don't believe in "evil"; there are only actions, and whether those actions are palatable to you or me is entirely a subjective function. For instance, James Huberty killed a number of people in a McDonalds in San Ysidro, CA, years and years ago. Many would say that taking a light machine gun into a fast food restaurant with armor piercing rounds and opening fire at civilians he didn't know was "evil", when, technically, the only thing anyone can prove was that Huberty, on the day in question, definitely performed a series of actions, and those series of actions resulted in what would largely be called "premature" deaths. Ultimately, though, everyone who died that day would have eventually died, anyway, and a thousand years from now, it will all be rendered completely irrelevant, as everyone who was directly affected by his actions would long since be gone.

That said, I'm not defending McCain here (don't think you thought I was); I'm simply saying that every single president this country has ever had was a selfish, "unqualified" twit, and that never stopped a single one of them from being president, so "not fit to be leader" strikes me as a non-universal, entirely subjective judgement call on your part, as opposed to anything resembling a factual representation of the individual's predicted competence.

Why does that gun by sasquatchan (4.00 / 2) #7 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 09:08:17 AM EST
look so fake ?

Something about the bizzare flash suppressor on the end of the barrel. The oversized shroud on the scope (I doubt the optics are that length). The (admittedly damn cool) crazy wood grain used for the stock (if plastic, it loses all coolness).. The bi-pod at the end of the barrel is the only legit looking thing on it. (I can't make out the bolt or the trigger, that might have helped).

This thing looks more like a prop from a bad sci-fi movie..



The barrel is oversized and oddly colored by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #8 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 09:47:36 AM EST

. . . nice work.

From what I can see in the picture, that hard working americaan was attacked by an angry herd of buck deer, and their evil sidekick, Yogi the Bear. Luckily, he just happened to be armed with a high-powered rifle (with silencer, no less!) and killed them all with one shot, 200 yards away, before they had a chance to trample his lawn. Brave stuff.

Now, the beautiful but dead attackers have their heads on his wall, and Yogi serves snacks to visitors . . . a fitting end.



That's not a silencer by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #13 Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 10:04:08 AM EST
A silencer for a rifle would be at least as long as the rifle barrel.

It's probably a flash suppresser.
