I think I'll start taking a soft linen towel with me wherever I go. If I have to take a leak, I'll do it in public in front of everyone. In order to make it OK, I'll just turn away from everyone a little bit or face a wall, and hold up the linen cloth so it covers the head of my penis. Or I can pee at home, just like a mom can prep a bottle.
Thanks for saying I'm right. I knew it all along, breast feeding in public is nothing but "look at me and my baby" attention seeking. Girls Gone Wild public voyeurism mixed with the nascent motherhood.
As for Ron Paul, if Republicans nominate him, you have my word that I will seriously consider voting for him over whoever the Democrat is.
I imagine we will have other things to worry about if that happens, like the complete meltdown of the Establishment's control over the media that would have had to proceed it, not to mention GOP leadership. Those would probably have to occur before Paul can be "allowed" to win the nomination. Trust me, Ron Paul is the Establishment's worst nightmare largely because he wants to break the People out of debtor's prison the central banks have locked us up in and dismantle the empire and its military industrial complex. Paul is already under attack by the Establishment spinsters and smear merchants (on both sides).
If you want to hear the most vitriolic tone towards Ron Paul, look no further than the neocons themselves. If a "Republican" can make people that are part of his own party's blood boil, people like Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and other neocon mouthpieces, then imo he is doing something right. You could tell that even Alan Colmes was experiencing great pleasure making Hannity announce who was leading the MSNBC post-debate text message poll when the results first came in.
Paul makes the republican debates worth watching. The rest of them are summed up as: War = good. weapons = good. terror, jihad, 9/11 = bad. Israel + Saudi Arabia = BFFs. Everything else = N/A (platitudes).
The other candidates talk about cutting taxes and can't even name a program they would make cuts to. Abortion is nothing but a wedge issue. The only life either side cares about are the lives they use to pander for votes (which doesn't always work, e.g. 50% of donations from "the troops" went to Ron Paul even though the Establishment constantly panders to them).
Ideas about limiting Government are dead in the MSM, including limiting Government that wants to curtail your civil liberties and spy on you to make you feel "secure". And why shouldn't they be? Bigger and more Government leads to bigger and more news stories to fill the 24 news cycle. The Government and the Media feed each other and grow fat, while at the same time starving the people of independent thought and brainwashing them to reject any new ideas that might diminish the coercive power of the State (and its media minions). Don't expect Hillary "Police State" Clinton to change anything about the Establishment power game, she has been playing it for years.
I tell you what, if I were an Establishment crony I would be eating this thread up right now and asking for more.
Please, lets focus on wedge non-issues, and the difference between the two establishment parties (there really isn't any) while ignoring bipartisan support for the next war in the ME (with the MSM already on board tooting the war horn).
Psst, want to know a not-so-secret? You might not believe this, but Mr. Smith has NEVER gone to Washington. And get this, Democrats take money and junkets from the same powers that be as the Republicans, and both sides work towards the same "National Interests". I know that some Dems like to keep thousands in their freezers so that corrupt right wingers can frame them for it, but guess what? Here is ANOTHER not-so-secret: The Democrats in Washington are just as corrupt as the Republicans in Washington. In fact, Skull and Bones is bipartisan (but no boobs allowed! go penis!). But Whatever you do, shhhhhhhhhhhh! Please please PLEASE don't tell anyone about how Washington makes outsiders become insiders, it's a not-so-secret.
Young women get confused about what side of the fence to be on all the time, right Hillary?
Just ask Goldwater Girl Clinton about shifting views, or read her thesis. Oh wait, I forgot her thesis is sealed and locked away for all eternity.
Poor girl probably just got confused and figured it was ok and
that her dad was on the left since he is a pro-choice, anti-gun, cross-dressing, top-down Authoritarian. It is pretty easy to get confused on what is left and right when your dad is Rudy Giuliani, especially since Scoop and Dump considers himself "conservative".
"Republican" criticism of the war is just as valid as "Democrat" criticism of the war, and that is when the politician actually means it, like Ron Paul does. I believe that Dennis Kucinich does as well, and would like to see a ticket/cabinet with both of them somehow involved (which I could see happening on a 3rd party ticket). Both have been consistent in their antiwar stance regarding Iraq, Paul has been steady in his stance since at least 1998 when he voted no against "regime change" in Iraq.
Hillary voted how on the war in Iraq? I thought so. no regrets. Please stop the nonsense about Hillary being some kind of Dove. Sure she is an antiwar liberal dove, just like AIPAC Girl Nancy "Mr. Cheney, AIPAC says to go ahead and 'address' Iran before you leave office" Pelosi. Yeah right, they will all find some way to church up their rhetoric so that their warmongering seems humanitarian.
How does that peace propaganda taste? It must be good, because you are eating it up.
