A week or two ago this idiot called for America for form a world police force to combat terrorism.
I guess he never saw "TEAM AMERICA - World Police."
'nuff said?
nope.
The only terrorists Americans have to worry about are the ones with uniforms, badges and tasers.
"There are threee kinds of people inthe world . . ."
Which kind is he?
A twenty minute drive translates to one hour to one and a half hour bus ride. You can wait twenty minutes for a bus during rush hour and then you see two buses running in tandem - true stupidity. Twenty mnutes is a short wait and very often a bus just won't show up at all.
Driving in Montgomery County is a pleasure and parking is no problem especially compared to Northern Virginia which is to be avoided like the plague any time between 3 pm and 7 pm.
But for those who want us to take the bus there is something you don't hear about. I have been assaulted on the bus six times. I had to throw a young thug off the bus two times and while he was pounding away at me, not one person did anything. This was broad daylight. I even had to tell the bus driver to open up the door so I could toss him out onto the curb. Whne he came back for more, I had to ORDER the bus driver to call the police. Next time I saw him at Wheaton Metro he promised to shoot me and kill me. Late at night drunks will try to pick fights with you, which is a lot easier to deal with since it is hard for them to land a decent punch. The metro police come fairly quickly to deal with the problems, but why should people to be subjected to this stuff? Then there are the guys who expose themselves, yes, on the bus in broad daylight trying to pick up a woman. It is crazy.
One night at the Wheaton metro I was confronted by six thugs who figured I would be easy game. Over a hundred people watched as i dealt with the problem and not one of them did anything. The thugs fled when they noticed security approaching, One person said he was thinking about helping me out. The crowd was quite entertained by the show but they would have been just as entertained if these three thugs had beaten to a bloody pulp. I didn't have to hurt them and they couldn't land any blows or kicks on me.
If you are not prepared to deal with thugs and be able to manage a small group of them then it really isn't safe to ride the bus. I prefer to drive.
If you take the bus, study martial arts or carry a weapon.
This is in Montgomery County Maryland, a place where this stuff isn't supposed to happen.
Oh, I didn't hurt any of those thugs because then I probably would have been arrested.
The media has recently thrown a mad lovefest calling and likening President Ahmadinejad to a nazi and Mr. Hitler.
How many Jews has he killed? How are the Jews in Iran oppressed? How many countries has he invaded? How many civilians have died at the hands of his military following his orders, directives and policies?
How dare they?
Now to quote the quote from the article:
"comparing him to Hitler trivializes a profound historical tragedy. Hitler's deeds resulted in the deaths of millions, and a war which gripped the world for six years. The comparison is an insult to the memory of the millions of victims of Nazism."
How many Iraqis have died? How many years is this war going to on for ? Forever was the last I heard.
Hitler is not the only monster. He just has the best PR team.
How dare they?
Click on my name to see and hear Ramsey Clark at the White House on September 15 (youtube) - we are waging genocide on these people who have done nothing to us.
Don't blame them, the news media doesn't like to cover that.
The news media also doesn't like to cover "gentiles" whose opinions are contrary to their polices and agendas either.
The play stereotypes. It is easier and it keeps their sponsors happy.
"we never forget who we are working for - our shareholders"
Most people don't want this. It has to be sold to them.
I use both but the problems have only been on Metrobuses.
A ballpoint pen is a weapon.
Your keys held in your fist with the keys ends sticking out from between your knuckles is a weapon.
A rolled up City Paper is a weapon - great for jabbing soft spots.
You nails are weapons.
None of those things should get you into trouble.
If a thug sees that you are willing and ready to hurt them and don't care if they hurt you, they generally back down, but not always.
The number one priority of the administration is not winning the war, but making sure that every last penny of taxpayers monies are hosed full force into the pockets of the war businesses.
It is a rip off. The war, the terrorism, the religious fanaticsm, protecting Israel, building democarcy and even ripping off the oil are just distractions so we will not notice the Pirates, ahem, Bloodthirsty Pirates, who are looting our national treasury and placing us in debt to China, and plotting a never ending war to keep this up for as long as it takes.
AAAARRRGH!
