He will turn water into Mountain Dew. He will heal the poorky.
Except that the left is the right is the left, one party, united in eviscerating the republic and turning its constituents into Konsuming Komrades.
God help us. We need a SECOND party. One DIFFERENT from the left-right unified BIIIIiiiiG GOVERNMENT party.
I have no reason to vote for evil, be it Obama or Bush III. I DO have a valid vote I intend to use to vote for the ONE man who rightly pointed out the problems we are now going through (in other words, a REAL leader, a strange concept, I know). Ron Paul is my write in candidate.
I urge EVERY TRUE AMERICAN to vote Ron Paul. (Doing this MAKES him president, you know. cool, huh?).
The others, well let's just say, if they are already in Washington, they are being BOOTED out on their skank asses. Every incumbent is hell bent. And WE, are being dragged right behind them and off that cliff. EXCEPT those dragging us are wearing a parachute (Swiss made, I think).
The propped up phony terror war was a trojan horse to gut our constitution and wedge us into the middle east.
My question to you Obamamamas. When and if Obama takes Washington, will he demand Bush's head on a pike and jail the criminals of this regime for treason?
My bet is NO. Of course not. The whole affair is phony. What Obama will be doing is he will be high-fiving the Bush cabal for having done such a THOROUGH JOB these past eight years prepping this country for the [now] inevitable transition to totalitarian fascism/communism.
I guess this is what Americans want. They sure do understand the meaning of freedom, huh? Freedom to TIVO tonight's favorite show. Freedom to megasize their fries. Freedom to vote for their favorite dancing star.
peh.. no wonder this planet is so messed up
Since it likely has not, government needs to step in and tell Wall Street to take a long walk off a short dock.
Will it happen? Not in the corrupt government we have.
(and when exactly ARE Bush/Cheney et al arrested and tried for treason anyway?)
the bullshit ain't flyin' anymore. People are sick of spin and parry and twist and pretense and smokescreens and mirrors.
Obama's bullshit is a bit more sophisticated is all.
and women wonder why men no longer want to commit at all.
If this person had been MALE, there would have been calls for his wife to punish him. Men do not have that latitude to 'learn' about themselves in this way-- not without CONSEQUENCE.
If you women want to be this way, "cheating is fine as long as YOU are the one doing it", then that is fine. Have your way, do not be challenged by things like guilt or responsibility or consequence or the stress of having to actually NOT do something you just have to have. Women can have this. In divorce court, women are still looked upon with deference. After all, well it just MUST have been that the husband was JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH, and since women are like children, and cannot control their desires, well, we just have to let women have their way.
SO, men are wised up to this libertinism. I have lost count of the number of relationships I have personally known that were messed up by women who feel no obligation to do anything to support or nurture the marriage.
Men are doing what they need to do because we men HAVENO CHOICE. If we are stuck in a marriage and we fail it, WE SUFFER.
The same cannot be said for women in a marriage.
SO, it is contingent upon SOCIETY to set things straight between men and women. To chastise and NOT to tolerate straying women, and to grant the men the same considerations the women are granted.
As for this LW, I wanted to like her, but her seemingly flaccid, falling leaf in a breeze attitude towards this ongoing relationship is disturbing. Nowhere does she mention that it is contingent upon HER to break this off. Only that he continues to hang around and she continues to indulge his whim, inevitably because she thinks nobody would blame her for continuing this relationship. Nobody would blame her, if she were 7 years old and thus not in charge of the relationship. This is, of course, why so many men DO treat women LIKE 7 year olds, they do this as long as women continue to 'act' this way.
- lose weight. Stare for minutes at a time in the mirror lost in admiration at your beauty.
- exercise and build muscle so that you feel in your body, vital and alive.
- go to a salon and get everything, and I mean everything, waxed, buffed and polished.
- grow your hair long and streak it blonde.
- ask for lingerie and jewellery from your husband.
- spend a tonne of money you can't afford on a new wardrobe.
- lap up the compliments and the stares.
- walk around thinking: I am a goddess, I am a goddess.
- enjoy the reaction of men, anywhere, anytime, staring at you and dropping things.
- lick your finger, place it on yoru backside and listen to the sizzle.
Oh yeah, if it was a guy doing this, he would be a laughing stock and an untouchable.
Can you just imagine a MARRIED MAN being this way? God help me, I have never wanted to be around women like this anyway, but now I am disgusted.
