Why are you people still watching this Cent-Com brainwashing? This show is so silly and is a total fantasy. I could maybe understand watching the Unit - that show is only 60% propaganda.
Wake up people, get out of that "24" dream world. This stuff is just training you to accept torture.
Just use Red or Blue - just like football. "Are you a Red, or a Blue?" - that would really simplify things.
Politically aware people are too complex for simple labels, the rank and file pinheads have this sports mentality and need the labels to keep things simple and easy to understand. Plus, you "liberals" are about to be betrayed by Obama/Clinton; so don't throw your "I'm a moderate" camouflage away just yet.
When we have more than two parties, and more people become more awake, then all these labels will become obsolete.
NOW you guys are starting to realize that you have been suckered. The Patriot Act, Illegal Wiretapping, War in the MidEast - its all going to continue. Plus you are going to have to pay a carbon tax! Better control your breathing, or its gonna cost you plenty!
Don't worry though, the controllers will set up another "Savior" in time for the next election (Hillary). Just remember this mantra: ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush,ClintonBush.......
I hate to say I told you so, naw, I knew I was going to say it. Now, maybe you guys will go back and look at his voting record. Just wait Liberals/Progressives, its going to get even more interesting. You guys remind me of Lando Calrissian: "But we had a deal!.." - Obama's altering the deal, pray he does'nt alter it any further - ha-ha. Or maybe you guys are more like that cat in the cartoon, who thinks he caught the mouse in a box. When he opens it, a rocket shoots up in the air and sky-writes the word "Sucker" in big, firey letters.
Politicians are'nt going to save you, you have to take charge of the government, get informed and hold people accountable. I know we had no choice but to vote for this guy instead of the zombie but thats no excuse to lay back and relax now. Don't be like that cat.
Mon Mothma has spies everywhere, Lord Obama (Darth Obama?) is only being cautious..
I would be OK with this if his Imperial troops would use a little restraint - not to go too far. But I doubt that's going to happen.
I guess if someone in Lord Obama's cadre questions this policy, they get the "I find your lack of faith disturbing" speech - ack *gag*!
There is a golden rule in life that you people need to consider here: Follow The Money. The Church (any organized church - take your pick) relies on psychological tricks to maintain control of its flock. Love, Peace and Charity don't cut it as well as Fear and Hate. Gay people are perfect boogeymen for the Church - the new Black People in other words.
The Church can keep the pews filled using Gays as a focus of their parishioners ire, insuring that the donations keep flowing into its coffers. And, they don't have to spend any time doing that boring charity stuff: helping the sick and the poor.
Just imagine if the Church accepted Gay people: The whole system would break down. People would stop getting all worked up over this nonsense - church attendence would drop($$). Eventually, Priests would then be able to get married, then the Church would not get their stuff when they died - losing more money,property,etc.
This is the real reason why the Church goes after gay people - they have to go after somebody, thats how it works.
Seriously, this is assault - why are the police doing nothing about this? Guys who think this is cool should have it done to their girlfriend,sister,mother..
This could be a new revenue stream for the cops - $1,000 ticket for photographing women's underwear in public. They would be busy parked on street corners ready to pounce.
I thought Barky was going to get rid of all this torture stuff? Maybe just the raping with battery acid part, that is too extreme, even for the CIA.
You Liberals are getting suckered big time. You better take off those Obama filters and speak up now before it is too late.
Those patsies are in for a world of hurt now that they backed out of their guilty pleas. Torture to get them to plead guilty - then execute them. I guess backing out of that deal does make sense, even though they are in for more torture.
The military/feds are'nt fooling anyone with these coerced confessions. Americans have to be more vocal about this issue. Enough is enough.
"But President elect-Obama has committed to moving these cases to federal court or courts-martial, where the trials will be fair and the verdicts will have much more legitimacy." - Yeah, right.. That is almost funny.
Trying to sell Senator Palpatine's empty Senate seat? Boy, is Blago stupid.
But it is good news for Obama, this will tie up a loose end quite nicely (how do you think HE got his old job? I know, I know - you are shocked, shocked that gambling is going on in this establishment).
Blago'll be going to jail just as Ryan, the other thieving governor, is getting out probably - maybe they should move the office to Joliet(where the state prison is).
