Drake actually just clarified my initial post, since you obviously weren't able to see it just as it was. Maybe Drake is also getting sick of you adding words to my posts. You know you're being ridiculous when others have to call you on it.Originally Posted by David Jamieson

attempting to rally others to your side? You know, that side you created and perceive but doesn't actually exist despite all your intentions to have it manifest?
anyway, so, what's your answer?
Kung Fu is good for you.

The man corrected you. And he did it on his own. I don't need to "rally" anyone to see what you are doing by making up words I never typed.
I believe I answered it already in Post #15. Do I need to point you to it, or answer it yet again, or will you just make up an answer for me?

Who's rallying? I'd say I disagree with 1Bad more than I agree with him. HOWEVER, I won't disagree with him simply because he is who he is.

You're the one who didn't have the intelligence to find my answer.

Smedley Butler, the decorated Marine statedbut in the present scenario, this gives the false impression that because one has served, one may be thought of as having the attributes of running a country based on the agenda schedule!I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
Even Blumenthal of NY imagines that all he has to do is say he served, and he will get popular points! Fact checking is a great tool

And let's not forget, someone can spend three years as a JMO, get out, and work seven to ten years in government or the private sector, and still be a GWOT vet when everything is said and done. For a lot of people, their military service, while honorable, isn't the majority of their qualifications. They did their time and got out.

Is Mr Butler even alive now?!?! Why are you even bringing him up, is he running for office this year?
Of course Blumenthal didn't count on the press digging too deep, he's a Democrat. They are used to being able to lie, cheat, and steal and not have to worry about the press. FoxNews changed all that.

What? By allowing Republicans to lie, cheat and steal?
1bad65, you make me laugh. Dare I say it? You seem to be suffering from ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

Clearly you want President Obama to fail, or else you wouldn't bring up every little thing you can to try and discredit him and his Administration. You seems to be actively hoping for failure.
Perhaps you can take a lesson from The Duke.

No, by levelling the playing field.
If you bothered to watch them before commenting, you would see they are rough on Republicans as well. McCain and Bush, for example, are not universally loved over there.

Do you have an example of them not reporting or of them ignoring misdeeds by a Republican?

While avoiding work just now I happened to cyber-cruise by this thread. It reminded me that I really should sit down some day and write a nice long essay along the lines of "Having Lived in Taiwan for 15 Years, What America Has Become...And It Ain't Good".
I realize now why ex-pats are so distrusted by governments, once you see America (or any country for that matter) from an objective distance....the picture is not so pretty.
Part of my essay would discuss "Democracy: Emotions v. Reason".
Well, if I ever fall idle I will get on it. Maybe hard to find a place to publish it because it will, if I write it up right, kick the **** out of both the left and right sides of US politics.
Okay, better get back to work. The company I own does Homeland Security work (really, no fooling).
take care,
Brian

I must have missed the backup for your assertion.

So you don't have any examples then, right?
I figured you wouldn't.
