Im saying to hate Bush is to miss the point.

and also to micromanage or nit pick about what is wrong with the country. I dont like the man either but its neither here nor there when he's on his way out the door focus your anger and energy on something more worthwhile.

just keep in mind the Democrats are no better than Republicans, they are in cahoots! neither party gives a shit about us and if americans really cared about any of this, it would be Ron Paul vs Dennis Kucinich in the General Election instead of the two ass-clowns we have now! since i was a ron paul supporter and republicans were too fucking stupid to vote for the common sense candidate, i'll be voting for Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party! its time to take our country back!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

[mcfartson]

I couldnt agree with you more on your statement about Dems and Reps being in cahoots. But I dont know That Kucinich or Paul is the way to go either. But it is indeed time to take the country back.

The Insane ideas of the Powers that be in this Country are this: Preemptive Strike and Preemptive War. Which means this: If Bush and the Military simply THINK/FEEL that some country MIGHT be a threat, take it out with bombs.  Now, that is insanity personified!

[mcfartson]

Why even put Bush's name there.

The preemptive strike wasn't created by bush. or the even the republicans.

Its a whole government thing.

Even Clinton blew up the Chinese Embassy trying to get Bin Laden.

I agree with your passion but lets get focused on what is Really happening and realize that this country has alot of changing to do on all fronts and on all faces.

That begins with us.

Go America! There is hope for us yet!

We are a great country!

Things will work out.

[paultherolls]

Well done. The Hope Indians predict nuclear war on US soil. A Russian clairvoyant predicts

a US city will be destroyed by a planted nuclear weapon in second half 2009. Let us pray that this does not take place.

[mcfartson]

Thank you for your compliment.

As for the hope indians and etc.

I dont believe in that stuff.

Its sheerly the novelty of coincidence.

I mean its easy for me to predict a car bomb going off in Iraq.

I refuse to leave the fate of myself and my country up to the whims of spirits and and the like.

No offense to the cultures of these people whom I respect.

But I will say even though I am not a very religious person.

a part of me does wish to avoid these things.

(and will rest easier in 2010) 8)

profound vid, love the elliot quote, thanks for posting

[jcrules54733]

Why not? BUSH,BUSH,BUSH has Congress complicit thru threats,intimidation,blackmail­, BUSH signs the Bills. BUSH CHOOSES to comply with all orders from the CFR and other Puppet Masters. Preemptive War IS happening. BUSH agress w/it & the United Nations (NWO Commie/Fascist World Govt). Get ur head out of the dark room & into the sunshine of REALITY. Things will work out? The only thing left 4 us is guns & roses as in Vendetta. Can't even vote these Nazis out. The voting machines are rigged.

This documentary really shook me up many years ago. Terrifying.

Bob McM stated: "We lucked out, from having Nuclear War". It was'nt luck, it was the devine intervention from God Almighty. Luck had nothing to do with the outcome of Oct. 1962.

Bob McM also said that Kennedy was rational, Kruschev rational, and Fedil Castro was rational. No, only Kennedy could be considered rational, the other two men were the irrational origin of the crisis.

No it wasnt luck, Mr Strange, it was devine itervention from above that keep us.

I'm by no means right wing and recognise that anyone who calls McNamara a socipath and a man who liked killing is way off base, at best, and fucking drooling nutcase at worst...well, close to worst. Mac was very much responsible for many of the problems with Vietnam. he was also a man who suggested they should never have gone. He also save countless lives in Oct 1962. He save countless lives by introducing seatbelts in Fords...so spare me your shitty revisionism.

[partweed]

It's hilarious that most of you suckers are always bamboozled by how McNamara's "dialectic is very precise." Bullshit. He was a guy that like to kill people and blow shit up, same as you. He was a sociopath. Precise dialectics have nothing to do with it.

"Focus your anger and energy on something more worthwhile"?

No wonder you right-wing nuts never learn anything. You're breeding paranoid little McNamaras while blaming everything on the other guy.

[Wolf1354]

When he speaks he makes sense. And when he talks about his mistakes he makes sense out of what happened. His dialectic is very precise.

[Steenville]

The World sure could have used his services these days, instead of Gates..

[Kras3169]

but if you're gonna say it's time to take the country back, the only way to make that a reality is to decrease the size of government, return to the principles of the constitution, and stop allowing corporations to donate money to candidates due to the obvious conflict of interest. the only candidates who represent any of this are Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and maybe Mike Gravel. the only way to take back the country is to elect candidates who actually represent us!
