'' ... slaves were considered relatively high dollar assets that typically were little more likely to be thrown through a window to their deaths than a thousand or three thousand dollar computer ... wives and children, however, were slaves that functioned as liabilities and were far more likely to be put a day or few out of work than were field slaves ... ''



'' ... whuts extremely bizarre about slavery is that it only took something like three percent of three percent of folk to slave entire populations ... the first thing that should have popped into their minds was: ''ohmagosh, if we can slave populations with three percent of three percent, then our enemys can slave lil ol us with less than three percent of three percent of three percent of three percent ... ''


'' ... let''s invest 99% to those max wage folk what cuff cage collar and 1% to those min wage folk whut mug rape kill and 1% of 1% to those whut each give market share and other stuff to fifty folk what also each give market share and other stuff away to fifty folk each day for free ... ''


'' ... don''t dance porno get sick tax world get well feed world songs rallied round sick beds drifting farm trails and rallied round well beds racing farm trails ... ''

One_''American''- I don''t suppose you would care to address the cut columns at the base of the WTC? Just how did those mischievous Magic Arabs set thermate charges to cut columns in the WTC buildings?

A "social outcast" for telling the truth? Is that the only threat you and the War Pigs have for us?

Iraq is a mess! It is not secure. The US military can never make it secure. The surge only "works" because they''re paying people to pretend to act normal, and it only works in those areas where all but one of the competing groups has been exterminated. The "insurgents" ("freedom fighters", to use Reagan''s term) just move to another area until our soldiers move on. We don''t have enough soldiers to occupy every inch of the county, and we never will. So, our soldiers are dying there for nothing. By continuing to support the war, *you* are causing more and more of them to die.

The whole story about the "progress" in Iraq is just more of the same lies and half-truths from the Chimp who just joined the so-called "cut-and-run defeatocrats" by saying that if things keep going "so well", he might cut the troops. Well, guess what? He isn''t going to cut the troops! They can keep on dying, for all he cares! In the authorized Bush biography that just came out, Bush admitted he was just stringing you all along until Oct. or Nov., in hopes that he can convince the next repug nominee to support "staying the course", a.k.a. NEVER ENDING WAR.

D@mn the gullibility, the ignorance, and the willful blindness of all of the Chimp''s legions of fools.

"It''ll take us a while longer to continue to get them to the strength necessary and trained at the level that we expect them to be at in order to maintain that control," says Odierno. "But the key piece that we are seeing is the fact that that populace is rejecting those troops, and that''s the first step."


Does anyone at CBS edit what is printed?

"But the key piece that we are seeing is the fact that that populace is rejecting those troops, and that''s the first step."

The Iraqi troops, the American troops???????

'' ... after the civil war, 80+% of the u.s. were self employed farmers, a hundred years later, i work for a company that publicly and regularly demonstrates that it refuses to be self sufficient ... ''


'' ... it isn''t that little militant girls can''t make a living by marrying and slaving civilian men, it is just that militant men have a thing for disciplining and choring little militant girls ... ''


'' ... there''s nothing wrong with not liking beets or hairy women or naked girls, but denying those who like beets and hairy women and naked girls access to congress could almost me construed as oppressive if life were supposed to be fair ... ''


'' ... it isn''t that little girls can''t provide for my needs or that they don''t want to, they are very crafty and kind, but the general promised he would, so i keep waiting ... of course the general also said it only takes a few to feed the world and the army''s too busy taxing the world to be that few what feed it ... ''


'' ... i was number 3.5 billion, but no one listened when i said the ignorant naked kids are freed from thousands of years of being made to disappear, now i''m number one and my survival depends upon my military skill and not only does no one listen, but they''re all trying to kill me ... ''

Prinzowhales:

You can shut your bloody gob now.

You and your kind are losing your war against America, and you know it.

It''s only going to get worse for you and your kind, as you become the social outcasts of society.

Oh, goody...another trip to Haditha Street...the official ''Potemkin Village'' of Odierno and the Surge...More happy news for airheads.

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been murdered under our occupation of Iraq...Millions have voted with their feet...and Odierno takes another in-bed reporter to Haditha Street...

Troops Home Now! The War was based on a lie!

Here''s a picture of the cut columns at ground level on the WTC after the 9-11 attack.

The same liars who said Saddam had WMDs, forged evidence to present to Congress, made-up the Niger Yellowcake hoax told you that 19 Arabs with box cutters who couldn''t fly jetliners took over four of them escaped NORAD and rammed three of buildings of key importance in America. This is the official lie! The Washington Regime is not fit to rule. Troops Home Now! Restore the Constitution!

Way ta go Citizen. Somebody said, don''t remember who, might''ve been Tom Jefferson, said when this stuff no longer works, we have the FREEDOM to fix it. I''m para the works, but dam, our guys were right. MY favorite quote from T.J.? The tree of liberty must be refreshed, from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. End quote.
