Root of Godzilla vs. Cloverfield?

Godzilla - those who lay waste to our cities are likened unto a giant radioactive lizard. Which may be appeased by innocent children at times in order to save the day.

Cloverfield - those who lay waste to our cities are likened unto a giant crustacean. Which in order to save New York City, the authorities just had to nuke the city in order to save the day.

At least that is what I am gathering.

Well maybe JJ Abrams has distilled this whole 9/11 and the ensuing war on terror down to it's essence. The government must destroy American in order to save the day and defeat global terrorism or a giant crustacean, whichever you choose to believe in.

So I guess that makes JJ Abrams an artist again.

So I should get some dramamine before seeing this or just close my eyes?

@ birddulemerde

Molten aluminum does not glow orange. It's color is silver. You have never seen molten aluminum or iron, I have. You probably still believe in WMD and that Saddam Hussein was behind 911.

When I was a kid the chemstry sets had powdered aluminum and iron filings. Kids used to mix the two together to get some fun back before we had to protect kids from science. You know that a sparkler can reach 2000 degrees? Kids should know about stuff like that.

Until you show me a picture of molten aluminum glowing yellow orange I shall regard you as a government troll or a feeble minded believe everything the authorities say type.

You shouldn't bandy about the word science until you know what the word means.

Until you show me a plausible cause for molten iron coming out of the towers the scientific model of a thermite or thermate reaction is the only model which duplicates the data from those video clips. If it could have been done, I think we would have seen the government promote that model like they promote phony Bin Laden videos (who hasn't made any videos since he denied involvement in 911 because he is dead).

They stole the plot for the WTC airplane attacks from the pilot episode of Fox television show "The Lone Gunmen" which aired in March of 2001. I watched a tpae of that show an hour before it happened for real. I called bs.

Sure, there is a big difference.

Huckabee will chase the terrorists to the gates of hell and Obama will invade Pakistan, a country with nuclear weapons.

Which Warbucker Would Jesus Vote For?

Original article: Dead party walking

Democrats are Bushies too

Kucinich and Gravel aren't in the pockets of the defense industries and they have been marginalized by the mainstream media so what difference does it make which party gets to serve the interests of the war industry?

Those social programs are not going to happen because they have already promised the money to the war industry.

Robert Reich - War? What War?

IT IS THE WAR STUPID!

One can only hope that Mr. Reich is being paid not to mention the war, otherwise his brains have gone to mush.

The warbuckers have bankrupted the country.

SHHHHHH!

Don't let anyone know about it. There is still money to be made selling these morons war.

"Historic" - just hype and a deceptive sales pitch

Sucker them with "race" and "history" as if the mainstream media gives a damn about anything other than selling us a war that we don't need and cannot afford.

Go ahead and vote for war and pretend that you are honoring Dr. King because the news media says it's history so lets make history and screw the fact that we are all getting screwed by the war industry.

Get ready to send your sons and daughters to Pakistan to fight another phony war and bankrupt our nation even further. They can't wait for us to get nuked by some ticked off amateurs because America is just a season of "24" to these morons. Except there are no Jack Bauers.

Projecting McCain's Past onto Hillary's future

Well, I know it isn't nice or politically correct, but Hillary Clinton has never surrendered to a foreign power. John McCain was shot down and surrendered to the North Vietnamese, not that there was anything WRONG with that. After all, he was shot down and had no other choice.

Still, Hillary Clinton never was in that situation and she never surrendered to a foreign power, much less a GODLESS and COMMUNIST foreign power at that.

What difference does it make? They both have surrendered to the Warbuckers and either one will make sure we are at war for a long time, or at least until someone nukes us. that goes double for Barack "Let's invade Paklistan" Obama.

Original article: Mission unaccomplished

You believe he is alive?

He hasn't made any videos since he denied involvment in 9/11 and he hasn't complained about any of the impersonators or inferior CGI videos that have appeared since.

If he was alive, don't you think he would have complained?

Why does the mainstream media treat these fakes as if it is really him? It's all part of the show folks.

Just like the American Al Qaeda, exactly the opposite of what he is portrayed as. Just an actor playing a bad guy in a b-movie.

Original article: There's no taking sides

No one argues with that.

Sign up for a tour of duty in Iraq or Iran or Pakistan.

GET YOUR WAR ON!!!

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation
