If I wanted a actor or a comedian to represent America I would vote for Robin Williams or Chris Rock, come to think of it they would both be better than the candidates we have. A statesman knows no script and speaks their mind regardless if it is politically incorrect.

A FOREIGN POLICY OF FREEDOM
All of the other presidential candidates want to continue our illegal police action in Iraq indefinitely, and they do not rule out a preemptive (nuclear) first strike against Iran. Conversely, Ron Paul voted against our (undeclared) war in Iraq, which was sold to us with lies. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies--the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. The war in Iraq has cost more than 3,500 American lives and almost a trillion dollars. We need a leader in the White House who will ensure this never happens again. Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have 750 foreign bases and troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft. We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing our borders against illegal aliens who are invading us from the South. No war should ever be fought without a Declaration of War voted upon by the Congress, as required by The Constitution. Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations. Too often, we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised.

hese are but a few of the reasons that Neo Cons are called Nazis--it is because Nazis justified every thing they did for the good and safety of their country and compromised their own morality in doing so. They also did not see how horrific they made Germany and the places they occupied at the time and they basically were at war with their people as well as ideas that allowed them to declare war on who ever did not cooperate with them.


Nazis did all of this, Republicans did too--the comparison is inevitable, especially this one: Justifying the loss of life in another country for a choice from our own. WE don''t have the right to do that, and we also imposed our will and gov on the local pop. Another Nazi tactic--they also paraded around local leaders to "prove" the government was legitimate.

So that is why many think Republicans are like Nazis--especially students of history and WWII--they can really see the same actions. rationale, justifications and ugly results as Hitler''s group caused. All we need are the death camps--and we will have a Royal Nazi Flush. Right now, America has just a flush.

13. Using chemical weapons or others weapons (WP) against civilians, then lying about it or saying they can do it

14. Lies, lies, lies and more lies

15. Spending the majority of the nations wealth on a war of choice

16. The members march lockstep with the leader, defending him despite common decency indicating much that is done is wrong.

17. Undermining own government as in outing a CIA agent

18. Stacking the courts and law enforcement with like minded and loyal followers who will aid in keeping the leader from prosecution as well as target enemies and opposition.

19. Embracing all sorts of evil and justifying it in their mind due to their loyalty to the cause and their leader''s vision, but discounting the damage to the invaded country and their own.

MORE TROOPS AND VETERANS SUPPORT RON PAUL
On Veteran''s Day, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul today addressed a crowd of over 5,000 enthusiastic veterans and supporters in Philadelphia. The Veteran''s Day weekend rally took place at Independence Mall. Thousands of veterans and their friends and families heard country music superstar Rockie Lynne open the event for the Texas congressman. John Holland, the founder of a leading advocacy organization for troops, veterans, and POW/MIAs, delivered an enthusiastic endorsement of Congressman Paul, before the congressman addressed the crowd. The rally coincided with the launch of the Veterans for Paul Coalition, which is composed of hundreds of war veterans. "Dr. Paul''s support among veterans is extremely high," said Paul campaign spokesman Joe Seehusen. "These great patriots who have fought for our country know that only Dr. Paul''s foreign policy of peace and secure borders can guarantee true national security, and they want him fighting for our country''s freedom." Congressman Paul was himself a Captain in the Air Force who served as a flight surgeon during the "totally unnecessary and illegal" Vietnam war. He receives more campaign contributions from former and active military and military affiliates than any of the other 2008 presidential candidates.

We are concerned that the barrel price will go to 100 dollars. What will be the REAL price in collateral distruction by greed-driven wars, environmental degradation, world famine of populations that cannot be sustained without petrol chemical fertilizers from oil resources that are running out. We have grown unsustainable population levels artificially with oil. The future of all life will depend on returning to known natural and nurturing living, using the remaining oil only as a expedient to that return. The remaining oil is liken to the SEED--DO NOT CONSUME THE SEED--PLEASE!!--FOR ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD--PLEASE!!! LOVE TO ALL OF YOU ON THIS WONDERFUL NATURAL WORLD. Greatgrandfather

ARE WE A NATION OF LAWS?
Consider the Patriot Act. The Law is 342 pages long, or 57,000 words, making it a bit longer than Dostoevsky''s "Notes from Underground" or, if you''re partial to pigs, about twice the size of Orwell''s "Animal Farm." The Patriot Act is the reigning champion of our government''s recent un-American activities. When it was first paraded before Congress and the Senate following the 9/11 attacks, few Members, other than Congressman, Ron Paul dared to vote against it. Most in Congress simply gave it their rubber-stamp of approval, without ever reading it. Why bother? It was, after all, named the "USA Patriot Act." It must be a good thing. Right? Now in effect, the Law wrecks a generation''s worth of constitutional protections against government snooping, legalizing police-state tactics in searches and seizures, criminalizing certain forms of speech and political activity, and opening the way for the mistreatment of foreigners in government custody and wholesale expulsions and imprisonment. It is a repugnant, unnecessary Law that goes against the very principles its name wrongly implies. Yet, it remains unchecked and unbalanced by public opinion, Lawmakers or the Courts. So, yes, we''re a nation of Laws. But the Laws aren''t much to speak of when they''re designed to hoodwink the public to win its docility. Neither is public responsibility much to speak of these days when its docility is secured with nothing more than a ploy-riddled play on the word "patriot."

6. Depiction of nation as a Fatherland, Hinterland or Homeland and creating special depts to keep it safe that rely on spying, intelligence and fear

7. Secreting away of dissenters or others who are labeled as "Terrorists" or enemies of the state and providing no proof on what they have done or to whom and no legal recourse

8. Keeping enemies lists or suspects lists that list ordinary citizens and seek to intimidate or other wise keep watch and deter those in opposition

9. The use of the idea of state safety as the rationale for killing, imprisoning people and keeping it all a secret for the people''s own good

10. Creating immunity for war crimes through the country legislature to try to avoid later repercussions

11. invading a country then setting up a fake government under occupation and claiming it is legitimate (ala Vichhy) when there can be no legitimate democratic gov. under an occupation because they must follow the orders of the occupier not their people

12. Falsifying body counts of civilian deaths as well as others and kidnapping children and others for camps to force parents to cooperate

What makes you think Republicans are Nazi''''s ?
Posted by speakinup at 01:58 PM : Nov 18, 2007

I think it is the following that they have in common with Nazis:

1. Tendency to suspend or ignore democracy or rules of law in times of war or duress and to justify such suspensions

2. Marching lockstep under one leader, who tells them their country is at risk and rallies all behind a nebulous enemy that is not a country but an idea--thereby allowing the invasion and attack of any country that fits the MO

3. Embracing the idea of the gov. being right and absolute and the need for secrecy, lies, propaganda, cover ups, etc

4. Tendency to label all against the state''s plan as enemies and to concentrate all such labeled in special camps (concentration camps) with no due process or recourse

5. Embracing torture and justifying same to suit own ends

Radio, our politicians are so close to primaries that all statements are parsed and making no statement is often the safest course of action.

More get in trouble for taking a stand on a current event than just sticking to script.

VETERANS DENIED FREE SPEECH RIGHTS
Several pro-peace veterans were arrested when they protested their exclusion from a Veterans Day event in Boston. The local chapter of a group called Veterans for Peace estimated 15 of its members and supporters were arrested Sunday at the event sponsored by the American Legion. Boston Police said several arrests were made, but did not have an exact number. "We''re opposed to the U.S. invasion of Iraq; we''re opposed to the planned invasion of Iran," said group member Winston Warfield, a Vietnam War veteran." Warfield said the American Legion rejected their request to have a speaker at the event, which took place outside City Hall. A call to the American Legion office in Boston was not immediately returned Monday. "From our point of view, it''s a public affair," Warfield said.

U.S. WAR WITH IRAN?
When I consider the prospect of a War with Iran, I wonder whether or not another major power might be inclined to side with Iran and oppose us. 10% of China''s exports go to Iran and 12% of Germany''s. Also, many countries, including China, are heavily dependent on the 2,836,000 barrels of oil Iran exports everyday. Not a problem. I''m sure those folks won''t mind riding bikes until the war is over. As far as the Iranians are concerned, I''m sure they''re just dying (no pun intended) to be invaded, er, I mean "liberated" by Americans, considering the horrid 70% approval rating of Ahmadinejad and the terrible $8,700 gross domestic product per capita there (8.6% better than China). I''m sure we''ll be welcomed in the streets after we "shock and awe" their all important looking buildings to Jahannum and back. When I compare U.S. military numbers with Iran''s, what I find is truly alarming. The U.S. has 2.37 million soldiers ready for combat. Let''s compare that with little ol'' Iran, which has more soldiers available for combat than any country in the entire world. Actually, Iran has more combat-ready soldiers than China and Russia combined (11.7 million soldiers). Talk about hell! The bottom line is that America can''t even handle Iraq. At one point, we thought we could rush in, smite some nubs with dirks and be back home in time to catch the next season of American Idol, but it didn''t quite work-out that way. Did it? With Iran, reality is going to hurt a lot more.

[radiob-2009]

Don unfortunately I see no statesman coming forth from either party. If Americans would stop being so apathetic towards the direction of our nation we might end up being honestly represented. Until then I expect more of the same. Has anyone from either party condemmed the 200 lashes given out to the woman who was raped in Saudi Arabia?
