The greatest threat

That's very easy to figure out. American Republican Christoconservatism/fascism alligned with American neconservatism, is by far the greatest threat to the world. Islamic terrorism, while very unpleasant, doesn't pose an existential threat to any western country. As a matter of fact, they have failed to topple even one Arab or Islamic regime. The lunacy of US based conservatism, highly aggressive and itching for miltary confrontations, fused with Rapture lunacy and imperial hallucinations and equipped with a vast nuclear arsenal, is a clear and present danger to the world.

What a President Goer would have done

he wouldn't have ignored the warnings of his counter terrorism Tzar prior to 9/11 and we would possibly not have had 9/11. He would have gone after Bin laden and wouldn't have let him escape after being cornered in Tora Bora. He wouldn't have invaded a country that was not involved in 9/11 but would have sent the military into Afghanistan and eliminated Al Qaeda. He wouldn't have borrowed a trillion dollars from the Chinese to finance the Iraq disaster, which is actually making us less safe, hated around the world, destroys our military and bankrupts our nation.

About religion

Personally, as an atheist, I don't approve of Islam, Christianity, Judaism or any other religion-I wish they would just disappear, we will all be much better off. However, I dare those who consider themselves to be Christians to explain to the Muslim world why Christianity is a more benign religion than Islam, in view of a million dead, injured and displaced Iraqis, a direct result of the aggression of a Western, mostly Christian power against a non-Christian society.

Golden boy

I've never heard of Ward Churchill and have no idea why you keep bringing his name up. However, based on the idiotic drivel you have posted on this thread, I'm certain that anything he has to say would be preferable to your tedious nonsense.

The mysterious Ward Chrchill

OK, I Googled him and read some of his theories. I have no evidence that Bush/Cheney were behind 9/11 and frankly, their administration is so incompetent, I doubt they would have been able to pull it off. Are Bush/Cheney and the neocons morally capable of inflicting something like 9/11 on their own country? absolutely, but again, too incompetent.

The real reasons for 9/11, Golden Retard

1.The Saudi hijackers were dismayed that 'About Jim' was returning for another season.

2.They listened to too much Christian rock.

Golden Boy:Grade-A imbecile

How fitting that he has the same initials as another Grade-A imbecile and his great hero, George Bush. If we added his brain to that of his hero, his hero would still be saying:"The illiteracy level of our children are appalling"); "It's the executive branch's job to interpret law"; "Hispanos," "arbolist," "subliminable," "resignate," "transformationed"; "the death tax is good for people from all walks of life!")- a grade-A imbecile indeed.

The Flying Imams?

Is that an Egyptians rap group?

Re:The Flying Imams

Or are they Wayne newton's back up singers, managed by Ward Churchill? I can't figure out who this Churchill dude is. Is he related to Winston?

Bush is a psychopath

Bush is a psychopath. A person with no capacity for remorse, regret or empathy. The ongoing bleeding in Iraq, US troops and Iraqis alike, leaves him unmoved and disinterested. He has also surrounded himself with psychopathic yesmen who feed his madness. Just like so many psychopaths in power throughout history, he will let millions die for his hubris instead of admitting he was wrong. We will never leave Iraq. He is making it practically impossible for the next presidents to leave Iraq. He seems to be forcing the present Iraqi "government" to sign a treaty that will keep a US military presence in Iraq in perpetuity and will make it legally impossible to get out, as well as bring up treason accusations by the Right against any future president who would attempt to extricate us from Iraq.

2012 elections

Should a Democrat get elected as president next year and attempt to extricate us from Iraq, the 2012 Republican presidential campaign would be comprised solely of one theme:'

'Our Great Nation was stabbed in the back by the defeatist Democrats, who snatched defeat and surrender from the jaws of a Glorious Victory in Iraq.'

The Republican party in a nutshell

New Rule: Republicans changed their party before -- from the party that freed the slaves to the party that freed Scooter Libby -- and they survived. Now it's time for them to stop pretending they're still the party of Reagan and take up a new banner: The Party of Superfreaky Superfreaks.

This week, the chairman of the St. Petersburg, Florida, City Council was accused of having sex with his two adopted daughters and their nanny. And he could have been in real trouble, too, if it turned out the nanny was an illegal. But he got ahead of the story when he killed himself by sitting in the garage with the doors closed and the riding lawn mower on.

Two guesses which party he was a member of. And the first guess doesn't count.

And that's not fair. You knew he was a Republican, because even in death, he was still wasting gas.

Republicans sex scandals are getting to be like Iraqi car bombings. By the time you hear about one, there's been another. Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, Bob Allen, Vitter, Craig... It's like "Clue" only the answer is always "A Republican... in the washroom... with his cock."

The Republicans should run on that. "America: You're 230 But We'll Still Fuck You." Especially if you're a dude.

It's not really inspiring, but it's better than "Mitt Romney: He Has Hair."

Quiet on the GoldenBoy front

Haven't heard much about Ward Churchill from him for a few hours. G.Boy must have been serviced by a male prostitute today-less angst.

They are the war couch potatoes

These guys are very much like a disheveled, grossly overweight couch potato whose most strenuous exercise a walk from his TV set to the kitchen to get more beer and potato chips. He sits in front of his television, screaming at the supremely conditioned players on the screen to hit each other even harder and more viciously.
