After a while he will get old and he'll . . . yup. He will.

Boy, am I pissed off at the lot of them today. This year. This decade. This century. . . let's see, the U.S. is attacked by 19 men, mostly from Saudi Arabia. So Bush pisses the moslem world off even more when he blasts Afghanistan to hell and back, then goes to Iraq on a fabricated (wild-goose) chase. Now he's aiming at Syria:

    The Bush administration announced sanctions against Syria Tuesday, including a ban on exports and a freeze on certain Syrian assets.

    In a statement announcing the sanctions, President George W. Bush accused Syria of "supporting terrorism, continuing its occupation of Lebanon, pursuing weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, and undermining United States and international efforts with respect to the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq ... ."

    The sanctions prevent the export to Syria of military or dual-use items and U.S. products others than food and medicine. It also prevents Syrian aircraft from taking off or landing in the United States. U.S. banks must cut ties with the Commercial Bank of Syria due to money-laundering concerns, and the U.S. assets of certain Syrian individuals and government entities will be frozen.


This man has mentally fallen and he can't get up. He grabbed the edge of the world's table cloth and he's pulling the whole damned mess down on top of US.

Laary K,

First of all what ever you're smokin', I'd like some... Whew...

You certainly get a gold star fir twisting around disaster into high times....

Under yer guy:

*** the overall number of number (as well as per capita) number of olks who live in poverty has increased over 10%.

*** the number of children who used to get one square meal a day from governemtn programs has been cut by close to 5,000,000.

*** inflation numbers have been so manipulated that real people, who apparently you are not, just rasie their eyebrows when they hear this claim since health insurance has increased 20% under yer guy, perscription drugs have incresed 20% under your guy, local taxes have increased 15% under your guy, etc. So lets get real, pal.

*** states are strapped for cash as a result of the big tax giveaway to the rich under yer guy... Do you have any any idea how many states were effected negatively by yer guy's tax cuts? Like 100% Even yer guy in Califoenia has had to float a $15B bond referendum to cover costs of running California after his guys glutted the budget. Whom pays for that, pal?

Now if you want to turn this thread into a Bush bashing thread, fine. I started it and its fine with me. Even tho I might not have anything real warm and fuzzy to say about yer guy I thought some other folks might but lets keep things in perspective as to yer guys actual accomplishments...

But, hey, nice tie....

No, Larry K, what I do is invest my funds...because interest rates are so low that it's not worth keeping them in a savings account. Example: about a year ago I invested a substantial amount in gold, because I suspected it would go up. It did...by 20%. I sold that gold a year later and made 20% on that money instead of the 1% the bank would have given me. The deal, old pal, is...buy low and sell high. You just have to buy at the right time (tricky) and then be PATIENT! (most people are not very patient, and they don't have any extra cash because they are in the habit of spending it all as quickly as they make it.)

(By the way, gold isn't worth more since a year ago...the US dollar is worth less. A lot less.)

I understand your point about interest rates, and I do not wholly disagree with it, but do you understand mine? I think a fair return for bank deposits, given a normal situation in society would be from say, 7% to 10% annually. That's why I say that the present rates are criminally low, and are encouraging people not to save money, and are oppressing old retired people who can't afford fancy lawyers and accountants.

Of course there are other options to making money with money.

I was not wholly contradicting what you said, you see, I was offering an alternate viewpoint and modifying it. It is not necessary for one of us to be completely right and the other completely wrong in order to have a worthwhile discussion about something. Quite the contrary.

As for the terrorism, I consider the US armed forces to be engaged in ongoing terrorism of their own which has resulted in the death of a whole lot of people, but you don't. That's where we differ on that one...as I'm sure you are aware. I think the Israelis (and their many opponents) also deal in terrorism on a regular basis...they attack people, seeking to terrify them into submission. That's terrorism. It's been happening since before 1948, in the case of the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The British authorities in Palestine in the late '40's referred to the Jewish efforts to found an Israeli state as terrorism, because that's exactly what it was. The Jews won. That enabled them to don uniforms and hide themselves behind the fig leaf of a flag and a national government. I'm not impressed. Killing people and taking their land is still terrorism regardless...as are the Arab attempts to eradicate the state of Israel. It's possible for people to live together, given a little sanity and goodwill. Terrorists aren't interested in that approach, and they always say, "Well, they attacked us FIRST, so we're justified in killing them." I don't buy it.

In truth, they couldn't care less about who attacked who first. They care only about winning.

Little Hawk - Beware of this statement: This is especially good for new home buyers or people with limited funds who want to buy a new home.

It should be qualified with the warning: until interest rates go up or you lose that so-called secure job.

The economy is nothing anyone can predict. If Bush remains in power, investor confidence could reach an all time low. I've already been told that my investments in the U.S. are too unstable and that I should re-invest. I'm not sure how that plays out in real estate but my guess is that the low interest rates are there to bolster a dollar thats in big trouble.

You're right about one thing, Little Hawk, it is not a good idea to let your money sit in a savings account. Our economy does not value saving at all. Better to invest in a retirement savings plan. You will need it sooner than you think. Or maybe look at other options that your bank might have available. If you don't find a satisfying solution - shop around. Believe it or not, banks want your business. They are not doing you a big favour by letting your money sit in their bank. They are, in fact, using it.

Since this whole banking issue has arisen - I would like to caution all of you about how your bank invests your money. Look into it. You may unwittingly be contributing to the war chest. Make sure your funds are invested ethically!

Little Hawk:

New home buying is at an all time high which is good for the economy.   The main reason for that is low interest rates.    This is especially good for new home buyers or people with limited funds who want to buy a new home.    When I bought my first home in 1978 (Carter was president) interest rates were 17%.    That made it very hard to make ends meet.    My investments went up about 20-30% last years after two bad years.    This year they are also up.    It you are keeping money in an interest bearing checking account at minimal interest that is your own fault.

All far as terrorism statistics- the numbers are the numbers.   They were in the news a few days ago in a report from the State Department.   The number of international terrorist attacks in 2003 was half of that in 2001 and the deaths from terrorism in 2003 was the lowest levels since 1969.   You can disagree with the numbers but that still doesn't change them.

Interest rates are at an all-time low and this is good? Hell, it's not good for people who have savings in the bank, but can't earn enough on those savings to buy a jar of pickles. Interest rate return on monetary savings is criminally low at the present time. It appears that the Sy$tem doesn't WANT people to save money any more...just run out and spend it all please, and charge the excess on your credit card! Go broke now, pay for it later. Sounds like just what the government and industry like to do with the natural environment.

Not that I blame Bush for that, Larry K, I'm just questioning your line of reasoning.

As for terrorism, the number one effective proponents of that in the World today are the US military, the CIA, the forces of Israel, and the various Palestinian forces opposing Israel. I don't see them reducing their level of it at all. Al Queda is having a little difficulty keeping up with the above parties at the moment, because they are sort of "out of the loop" if you know what I mean...

I guess you're one of those people who only identifies attacks by certain people whom you have labelled as "the bad guys" as terrorism, eh? It's a shame they couldn't all wear black hats and Saddam moustaches so we would know for sure when we saw them, and could cheer and boo accordingly.

People whose families are killed by a rocket or bomb get just as mad when it's fired by an Israeli helicopter or an American jet as they do when it's done by a Hamas guerilla fighter. It's all terrorism.

International terrorism is at its lowest rate in the past 20 years. (190 in 2003 vs 346 in 2001 per State Department)

(But we can't credit Bush- that would have happened by itself)

Interest rates are at an all time low

(But we can't credit Bush- the Banks are responsible)

Inflation is at an all time low

(But we can't credit Bush- that's due to Alan Greenspan)

The Taliban and Sadaam are no longer in power

(Yes- but it's Bush's fault that we lost 1,000 lives in doing so)

He is going to be re-selected

(Let's blame Nader, Kerry, McAuliffe, Clinton, stupid americans, and the vast right wing conspiracy.    We can throw in Sprio Agnew too- it has nothing to do with Bush) (and lets make sure we keep bringing up the 2000 election to really piss off the independants)

The only thing I can't agree with Bobert on is the tie.   I just attended the Len Roller media class.   Best media class in the country.   Both Len and Jack Popejoy (winner of 24 Golden Mic awards) agreed that the tie that Bush wore to the press conference was the worst tie in the history of media.    Neither could believe his aides would let him wear that tie.   I trust their opinions on this subject.   Therefore, I can't praise Bush on his choice of ties.   You will have to come up with something better.   At least he doesn't fall of bicyles.   Now if we can only teach him how to eat pretzels.

Then, George W. has never called himself a facist, so I sometimes suspect he isn't one.

"George Bush -- struggling with business failures and a drinking problem -- made a life-altering decision in the 1980s after spending a weekend with longtime family friend Billy Graham: "It was the beginning of a new walk where I would recommit my heart to Jesus Christ,"


I guess you have to give him credit from going from near bankruptcy, alchoholism, and drug use to become the "leader of world".

Outrageous!

From a friend: "Democrats are reputed not to be humorous but they sure can be ironic."


It Is Tough Being a Republican

It is very tough to be a Republican in 2004, because somehow, you have to believe concurrently that:

1. Jesus loves you, but shares your deep hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

2. The United States should get out of the United Nations, but our highest national priority is enforcing U. N. resolutions against Iraq.

3."Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all humankind without regulation.

5. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

7. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins, unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

8. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

9. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, but then demand their cooperation and money.

10. HMOs and insurance companies make profits and have the interest of the public at heart.

11. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

12. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

13. It is okay that the Bush family's "Carlisle Group" has done millions of business with the Bin Laden family.

14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him and Rumsfeld reassured him he was our buddy, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, but then a bad guy again when Bush junior needed a prop for his re-election campaign as the "war president"

15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying about WMD existence, to enlist support for an unprovoked, undeclared war and occupation, in which thousands soldiers and civilians die, is, somehow, solid "defense" policy in a "War against Terrorism".

16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which should include "banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet".

17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's Harken Oil stock trade should be sealed in his Daddy's library, and is none of our business.

18. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s was of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

19. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a "spirit of international harmony".

20. Affirmative Action is wrong, but that it is OK for your Daddy and His friends (here and in Saudi Arabia) to get you to graduate from Yale without studying much, to dodge the draft in the Texas Air National Guard, to bail out your company Harken Oil and the Texas Rangers, to get the Governorship of Texas and then to have the Supreme Court appoint you President of the USA.

21. You are a conservative, but it is OK to spend like there is no tomorrow and run up deficits that your grandchildren will have to pay, while at the same refunding as much tax money as possible to rich people who do not need it.

This illogical behavior can take a toll on a healthy mind.

So if a friend of yours has been acting a bit dazed and confused lately, be nice: he or she may be a Republican!

"Bush is a 'post turtle'"...
"Huh?....what's a post turtle?"
"Well, did you ever go walkin' along see a turtle balanced on a fence post? You know he didn't get up there by himself-- he doesn't belong up there--and he has no idea what he is supposed to be doing up there. You just want to help him get down!"
