Uncle Jaque BS: A Challenge To Conservative Mudcatters (32) RE: BS: A Challenge To Conservative Mudcatters 23 May 05


I've long felt that we've sold our country out to the Chinese in more ways than one - and it's gonna come back and bite us sooner or later, IMHO.   I wonder if we can ever buy our Country back... while we still have one?

This proposition reminds me (although I was yet to be born at the time) of the WW-II "War Bonds". Actually, with the ongoing costs of the WOT I'm a little surprised that they haven't made a comeback by now.
Purchasing War Bonds used to be considered, apparently, the "patriotic thing to do" at the time. Didn't they have WBs in WW-I too?

And for what it's worth, President B. might have somewhat more intelligence than a grapefruit (despite his obvious challenges in speaking comprehendably at times), but a lot of us "Cs" are not all that thrilled with him these days. Our primary gripes are the deficiet economy, (The tax breaks were great - although our State Government promptly confiscated them here in ME - but where are the SPENDING cuts, pray tell??!!) and illeagal immigration / border insecurity.
We recently read where "old" pandemics such as leprosy, polio, and TB are making a big comeback in the Southwestern States, apparently due to the flood of 3rd-World "undocumented" workers / invaders, or whatever you want to call 'em.

And when concerned Citizens - "Minutemen" - try to do the Government's duty when they refuse to do it, W calls them "Vigilantes".

Oh really? I'll bet he has some equally choice terms for the People's Militia.

If GWB keeps dissing his conservative "base" - even though Carl Rove apparently does not think that we exist - there may well be a "Constitutional" or other rightwing 3rd Party in '08 to activate the old "Perot effect", and America will wind up with another Klinton - Queen Hillary, who will prevail with about 37% of the vote.

Could happen.

Better learn Mandarin and study up on the "Thoughts of Mao" if it does.
