It helps if you are not wearing a collar and a leash.

Bush? A leader?

Clinton? A leader?

Bush? A leader?

Reagan? A leader?

Carter? A leader?

Ford? A leader?

Nixon? Now THAT was a leader!

Joan Walsh?

I can think of someone at Salon who is equally enthusiastic about Clinton.

Then there is Terry McAuliffe. He could power a small city with that stuff.

Some people need a leader. They should buy a collar and a leash.

He is a psychopath.

They used to be uncommon and now they are they norm. That isn't just Beltway values because these evil, flattened affect, sub-humans are everywhere, thanks to programming, pharmaceuticals and the overuse of cocaine in the 1980s. They run the country and the MSM and they are whack.

You cannot trust them or the organizations and institutions that they have corrupted by their leadership and presence. They produce criminal results, claim the moral high ground and blame the targets of their offenses with their own stink.

Every dead American soldier in Iraq is a billion dollars in business to them.

If Broder is the Dean, then the Corps is rotten.

@ fooly

Spend a million dollars so you can lose a billion dollars a day in war business?

I do not think you understand capitalism or the business of war.

Pretend that every time an American Soldier is killed someone puts a billion dollars in your pocket. Now do you want those grenade launchers to be out there making you money, or do you want to stop the war, bring the troops home, and find some other way to have a billion dollars stuffed in your pockets every day?

I guess you could bring in dope from Afghanistan but you might have some problems with the people who are already doing that.

"Go away kid, you bother me."

The weapons of Saddam Hussein were not secured so that they would be used against our troops and ensure enough American casualties so that the highly profitable war racket would be ongoing and successful and like all the other evil schemes it came from the top.

If you can think of any other reason not to have secured the "enemies" weapons stockpiles, then you have a mighty creative imagination and should apply for a position as White House apologist and excuser. I figured it out as soon as I heard about it as it made as much sense as a police officer arresting a violent criminal and taking great pains not to remove any weapons in the possesion of said criminal before hauling them down to the police station.

Unbelievable - unless you wanted to maximize the profits of the defense contractors at the expense of the lives of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

The people responsible should be prosecuted for treason.

It is even worse than that though. The Iraqis didn't get it, so we gave them some encouragement to get the ball rolling. It was all about the money.

Torture, Drugging and Brainwashing

How can anything he or his captors say be considered as valid testimony to anything?

Innocent people have confessed with nothing more than a good cop bad cop game being played while they are in a police interrogation room with no torture needed.

A couple of months in isolation under the care of an military psychologist and you can convince anyone of anything and get them to say anything and believe it.

Television Programming

They choose psychopaths. sociopaths and borderline personality disorder role models because that is the behavior they are selling to the viewers.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Debase the population.

Debase the currency.

Debase the dialog.

Profit!

Torture was not acceptable until Fox's "24" made it acceptable.

Evil and crazy people are compelling to watch, exciting to the senses, and for some reason, highly desirable and sexy - at least on TV and in the movies.

Good role models are a hard sell in the MSM so we get crazy evil and/or stupid instead.

@libertyson

Nixon was the last liberal in the White House.

That is why he is so hated and reviled.

Clinton undid some of the liberal things that Nixon did.

You probably think that Clinton is liberal.

HA!

Join the Ranks of the "Mentally Ill"

Once someone cons you into taking those drugs, you are officially "mentally ill".

So how can people who are "mentally ill" be expected to take their "medications" properly without supervision and how can we expect such a person to be "responsible" for anything?

After all, they ARE "mentally ill", otherwise they would not be taking drugs for "mental illness". Many people experience side effects from the drugs that cause behaviors and actions which are the same as symptoms of many types of "mental illness".

So why do people want to label themselves as "mentally ill" and be put a powerful drugs that produce even more symptoms of "mental illness"?

They were taught to be that way. People didn't used to be that way. Take a look at what the MSM and the corporations are teaching us. Seek professional help, take drugs, consume and don't complain. If you are not happy with the status quo, you must have a medical problem.
