@shotgunwillie68  watch?v=chGJft5l8Ro

this guy kinda sounds like you... HA!!

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 If as president does not bow down for his military and economic top he will face the consequences. A president has nothing to say. He is a puppet, having nice speeches to satisfy the public. If you would see from a distance what is going on in the US you would be surprised the people didn't rise up and revolt yet. Here in Europe we are all just amazed about the fucked up shit happening in the US and you people just taking it as it is. Or believing in people who cant do shit!

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 Please, point it out for me. It might turn my opinions around. At this point I can say I only believe in Vermin Supreme you can look him up. The guy with a boot on his head. I can indeed not vote, you cannot either. It's one big show they put up every 4 years to satisfy the public. Do you honestly believe George Bush Jr. was elected democratically the first time? And who the fuck was so stupid to believe in Reagan or Nixon anyway. Kennedy had some good ideas, the guy got shot.

[jimivaughan420]

@shotgunwillie68 Guy, you are TOTALLY mixing up Ron Paul's policies... LOL, I could point out where you are wrong but I really don't think your going to get the message. But I would be curious to know who you think is better. I usually don't get an answer to that question. Cause most critics of Paul are quick to judge yet NEVER answer that question. I usually get a cop out answer like, "Well I can't vote so it doesn't matter" Well then your opinion doesn't matter then to me. LOL your lost buddy

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 Also, what do you got to think about Ron Paul his plans; 1. Privatizing Public Schools 2. Eliminate minimum wage. 3. destroying unions and workers right. 4. Promote less taxes for the top 1% 5. Eliminate all public safety nets and 6. Eliminate all US and foreign disaster aid. These are just a couple of things I hear nobody about when it comes to him. Alright he is Anti War,anti federal reserve and anti drug war. But god dammnnn.. he has a lot of stupid ideas!

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 And eventually if you might stop the wars, you guys will run out of resources. Because we are capitalist nations, our economic system is not build on taking it easy. It is build on growth and expanding all in order to feed us and satisfy us in our needs that are not 100% necessary. Once our system cannot maintain that growth, it will collapse. It will collapse without natural resources. Where do you get those?.. cheap? With a war in the middle east. Happened before.. twice!

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 Seriously.. he is going to end them? Reminds me of Obama saying he is going to close Guantanamo bay ^^ The US has over a 1000 military bases worldwide, you guys have so much imperial power that you basically control half of the planet. And it is my problem, since west-european nations are the slaves of the US. Holland is a very small country, in dept, because our money was on wall street too. That's why it is my problem, foolish American.. Stop the insults.

[jimivaughan420]

@shotgunwillie68 I agree with you... but Ron Paul is the only one talking about ENDING the wars... BUT he SOOOO bad.... LOL now THATS a joke... don't say hes a bad guy then sit there and mock the illegal wars that he is GOING to END... fuck are you dull or what seems to be your problem? Anyway, why is it up to us to take care of these people anyway, I don't see the Netherlands stepping up and giving us any money to help illegals, oh yea I 4got its not YOUR problem, right? seriously fuck you LOL

[shotgunwillie68]

@jimivaughan420 Do have 1 Trillion dollars to spend on an illegal war in Iraq. 2.5 billion dollars to give to Israel every year to expand their Zionist colonies. Millions and millions and millions of dollars to maintain Guantanamo bay. Spend millions of dollars to maintain the biggest prison system in the world. But Illegals.. nah.. We can't afford that! Think about it, treating people equally.. HAHAHA what a joke.
