in US politics, if you don't seize the middle, you won't win. What's interesting here is that both McGain and Obama have swung to the right

[lastnymleft]

Obama has pledged to do anything for AIPAC/Israel; he includes "all options" (code for nuclear first strike) on the table when dealing with Iran; he advocates willingness to invade Pakistan without Pakistani government approval; he refuses to pledge to remove all troops from Iraq by Jan 2013; and he is only talking about removing a few "combat" troops, whilst leaving tens of thousands of redefined troops, and even more mercenaries, in Iraq

So where, exactly, is the "change" in foreign policy?

Wow, you actually told me to get over myself? What a joke. You are having a conversation with yourself! lmao

The biggest mistake anyone can ever do is interfere in a battle with more war. It just brings more trouble. Don't make excuses that other people bring you into it because in the end it never came out to anything. What are these trillions in the hole? Maybe they are war machines that we had no business building or maybe they were positions we had no business posting. It was all nonsense that was not our business. Now it is everyone's business. Don't you always hate the bully?

[shortee4204real]

It's so convenient rolling into Italy after blowing up all the Roman artifacts left and after the people kill Mussolini. It's oh so convenient to show up after the horror with flags and intimidation to make the people cheer you on in a similar sense as they did Hitler. What is the difference again? A gun for a gun and an eye for an eye and a child for a child except everyone else seems to have more dead children than we do. Just remember what goes around comes around. Where is your humanity?

[shortee4204real]

WHY DON"T YOU ASK EVERYONE WHY THEY HATE US? So go on you fucking imbeciles with your fake ass patriotism and your sense of pride which is about the same as a pig who can't stop gorging on it's own guts. You want to fuck everything up then go fuck yourself! Go fuck yourself.

[shortee4204real]

If you consider a favor to be making enemies and killing civilians then you need revision. Do I have to name a few? When the Holocaust occurred where were they? Oh that's right they were watching. Why don't you ask the Vietnamese how the rebuilding is going along....why don't you ask Japan how the radiation is? Why don't you ask Russia why they want nothing to do with us? Why don't you ask the U.K. how they feel about our friendly fire accidents? Why don't you get over yourself first.

[baumusc]

Our military has done pleanty of favors for other nations and people throughout history. To claim otherwise is to be looking at history through revisionist's glasses.

[shortee4204real]

Nothing is even and if it was then taxes would be even. Minimum wage is the like the same as it was ten years ago. Nothing economically has changed except for the fact that corporations now want more money. The government always had those big chunks of the banks. People just need to see now because where the hell do these big corporations borrow money from? They borrow it from the feds. It's all fucked up.

[shortee4204real]

We have the weakest military in the world in reality. Any country that has to plant a foot in every nation and constantly bully is in a lot of trouble. So these paranoid "patriots" can move a lot of shit but it only puts us more in the hole. If he really is willing to come to an understanding with everyone else then that is the only way we are going to get out of the shit we are already in. Our military has never done us or anyone else any favors so now is the time to get real or get lost.
