Holy cow, I'm still alive/motivation to write

Been way too long. I promise to write regularly.
What brings me back? Well, a friend said her teacher said Republicans start wars. A public school teacher and a Democrat at that. I'm not a fan of either wing of the one party we have, but I am a fan of truth.
The only wars that were started by Republicans was the one in Afghanistan and the second Iraq war. Democrats brought us into World War I, World War II (FDR was calling for war before Pearl Harbor), The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam (do I need to remind you of the anti-Goldwater nuclear ad? How's hat for interventionism?), the bombing of Iraq during the 90's, Kosovo/Bosnia, Somalia, and they're talking about intervention in Darfur. Oh, and Clinton/Obama say that all options are on the table regarding Iran.
Korea was a UN war. The US elected a Republican to get us out of the war. The Gulf War was also a multi-national war.
I'm betting this teacher liked Lincoln's unjust war, though. Leave it to liberals working in a government school to tell lies while supporting the same blood thirsty endeavors neocons do.

Time's Person of the Year

Good for Putin!
All the Neocons whine that Petraeus didn't get it and that they gave it to an evil Tyrant. Let's just see why Putin is so evil:
-He keeps down the opposition
-He threatens the US
-He controls the media

What about Bush and the establishment?
-Keeps down the opposition
-Threatens anyone they don't like
-Influences the media

"What?! How dare you compare Bush to him! Have respect for the president!"
No.

-Putin pretty much keeps down the third parties. The Republican-Democrat establishment does too. Remember in 2004 when Michael Badnarik and David Cobb wanted to participate in the Bush-Kerry debate? Yeah.
-Bush threatens Iran and any nation that won't submit to the Hegemon. Democrats threaten going into Darfur, and the big ones want to have a continuing presence in Iraq. Putin? He "threatens" us because Russia is still quite a power and they're standing against the Neocons.
-Yep, both parties influence the media. From the New York Times having to take the Bush Administration's link to the CIA tape burning away to the Liberal Media Bias. Yes even Fox and Radio. Neocons are liberals.

So good for Putin.

Haven't posted for a while

Sorry! Here we go:
Iowa debate was hilarious. Not because of Alan Keyes, but because of the global warming question. Not Fred's comment, but the fact the other "front runners" raised their hands. Yes, even Romney who flip flopped then and there. One minute raising, the next cheering Fred's "defiance".
Teaparty rocked. $6.04 Million. I predicted $6,000,000. Close enough for me that I'll call it accurate. If Ron Paul wins the nomination, I'll be right yet again. I said Bush was going to win in 2000, I said Kerry was going to get the nomination in 2004, said Bush was going to win in 2004.
Not much tea party coverage though. I bet if Huckabee broke the fundraising record they would report on it. The tickers and media (aside from Tucker Carlson)reported it as 5.4 Million or so. Hell, know who had the best week in the Hardball Power Ranking? Huckabee. Why? He insulted Bush and put a Christmas Ad out. Guess who else put one out? This is not fair at all. Not at all. I understand not reporting on Ron Paul normally. That's just the vicious media-consumer cycle. The fact that a 234,735,523,936th tier candidate (in their eyes) broke the fundraising record should be reported on more! At least recognized in those power rankings!

Holiday Tree

Just saw on Fox news that WI (I think) is having a debate on whether or not to call the tree in the State Capital a "Christmas Tree" or a "Holiday Tree".
Some lady said it can't be a Christmas tree because (paraphrasing) "Christmas...Christ's Mass!" I would reply (not paraphrasing, though I wouldn't censor myself) "Holiday...Holy Day...HOLY S---!"

Hunter dodges, Romney lies, Thompson cries fascist, Paul rocks

The question was about a large majority of Hispanics wanting to get out of Iraq. Duncan hunter said that the hispanic troops don't. Apparently they're far more important than us silly citizens!

Romney on why we have to stay in Iraq-We've been there for a while. It's about human lives!
And somehow being in Iraq makes us safer.

Thompson said "Islamic fascists" declared war on us. Just because we call the bad guys fascists doesn't mean they actually are.

Ron Paul connected Vietnam and the draft to Iraq rather well.

On the Chavez Question...

Giuliani makes a joke about how he'll treat Chavez ("I actually agree with the way King Juan Carlos spoke to Chavez") and then attacks Ron Paul ("That would be the way I would do it. Far better than what Congressman Paul wants to do.")
He's either trying to get support by smacking the "little" guy around or he's very nervous about his gains.
By the way, I like the idea of trying to be a peacemaker instead of telling someone to shut up just because we don't like him. The ifference between Rudy and the the King saying that? Juan Carlos had a good reason to.

Univision Debate

Transcript
They had an english translation on CC3...the TV downstairs only goes up to CC2. I tried to translate the closed captions the best I could. I gave up after I said "Okay, he said something about illegal immigrants, pedophiles, and coca cola."
Anyway, there's the transcript. I'll be looking through it later, but at Lew Rockwell's site they're saying Ron Paull was the only one to tell it like it is.
