Bush supporters' aftermath thread

Trouble...wherever you go, trouble. Has it always been thus? Mom with a mop of snowy hair at twenty-seven?

Where would we be without contradiction, we sort? And what better land for finding it in plenty than this northerly neighbor?

They are in a rather bad patch, and god has sent me to help them out a bit. He allowed that I might enjoy their women while on my mission, and so I shall, but they need me and I cannot deny this celestial duty.

Hilarious interview with Terry Jones...
http://www.salon.com/books/int/2005/01/21/jones/index.html

To my friends here that agree with me that the importance of the Iraqi elections occuring this Sunday cannot be overstated, I thought I would share with you those sources I will be using for ground level news.

I'll be checking in often with Friends of Democracy, which includes Ali and Mohammed (from IraqTheModel ) and Ali (from FreeIraqi ), along with many of their compatriots who are working together to bring us their side of the story.

I just saw an interview with Victor Davis Hanson on TV. He's an eloquent man and I've read many of his written articles, but I'd never heard him speak. In brief, he said that this election, while of crucial importance to the Iraqis, doesn't just stop there. This is an historical event and we should all do whatever we can to support the success of this election and those brave Iraqis who are on the RIGHT side of history. (He said it much better).

I'm thinking of taking up swearing.

So now "support the troops" is a political statement? And the liberals wonder why they took such a shellacking in the November election.

I'll take care of the swearing for you, darlin...$@^*%J^& %$_)$$&&!

Now I'll ease your mind with a little reminder that even though our Universities tend to attract some of the dumbest people in country, our troops will soon be overseeing free elections in a country where most of the voters have never had such a thing before.

Right on Bill. But most of the university crowd won't get that either.

O'Bill: LOL! Thanks!!

Foxy: Too true! Of course, M. Moore thinks the terrorists are today's Minutemen. I have a small American flag on my rear window. Wonder if that would be the next go go.

(I think I need some "Damnitol" LOL!) Fox - I was gonna email this one to ya, but here it is!

Oh some of those are priceless JW. The Damitol I think would be especially useful.

They say around here that when America sneezes we Yucks catch a cold and that when America catches a cold we get pneumonia.

Therefore we have a vested interest in seeing you in good shape.I was merely doing what any committed home team spectator would do in order to encourage you to improve.Nowhere,I would claim, did I criticise.I laid out a few facts-that's all.
You show an inordinate sensitivity.

Last evening on CBS News they claimed that your arteries are not "in form" for snow shovelling.That is just another item.I didn't raise it.Maybe the owners of CBS have gone bullish on cropland and bearish on grazing areas.I don't know.

I might be more "American" than you lot.I have read more American literature,seen more American movies and listen to more American music than most people.I really love America.You haven't heard a word of criticism of Mr Bush from me.Or of Mr Kerry.Or of the war.I had a subscription to Readers Digest when I was 12.You can't get more American than that.I knew the names and faces of every test pilot,every astronaut and every other pioneer of speed you have on land,on water and in the air.I'm a Faustian so how can I not love America.Only a watered-down American would think I was being destructive.
I was simply suggesting that you get your arses into gear.The dollar is sliding.

root root root for the home team
if they don't win it's a shame
'cause it's one two three strikes you're out

spendius, brother under her majesty

How is lizbeth, by the way? She doesn't visit much any more, so I just have pub rumors to go by. And going by pub rumors is like hanging out on this thread without beer. It's american-loud in here. Emergencies, yelling, crashing. Hell, it seems like every time I look around, something else has just hit the ground.

MG:-

By gum sir,you're up early.I trust you have a respectable reason.

Our gracious Queen was doing OK last time I spotted Her.I don't know why She doesn't call on you more.Maybe it is because you have no suitable accomodation.You could start agitating for Her restoration.

Why did you say you were "sad"?(last week).

spendius.

The dollar is sliding down a razor blade into a tub of alcohol.....but oh well, we're too busy imposing "liberty" and "freedom" on other countries to notice.

"Suport Our Troops" is a well enough wish, but it is a political statement and one must obey the rules. Faustians not included.

Sad? Last week? Who knows. The stuff I have in my pipe allows the sort of resilient relationship with the fourth dimension such as is otherwise available only to Hindu aesthetes and your modern pop physicists.

She came to visit my little hometown when I was a shortpantser. Rumor was high that she would stop in at the Jesperson House for an invigorating cordial, so my good friend Brent and family got up early, drove to a choice spot, and stood outside in the drizzle for an hour or so to wait and watch as a sleek black Hudson at mach 2 never so much as paused for anything Chilliwackian, particularly Brentian. He's still sore.

I guess I fail to see how our constitutionally mandated military forces constitute politics as the military is neither elected nor appointed by those elected or appointed to office, but I suppose those educated in those universities that teach such as that might think so.

foxfyre

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone so pleased to be purposively dull.

Yes, Foxfire, I guess you do. "Support the Troops" appears to be an encouragement of those who are dying in service of our President and his get rich friends. If it was about the troops, as it pretends to be, I'd plaster my bum and forehead with bumper stickers. It's actually however a clever way to indicate that one supports the war. It has the character of a true Roveism. It's like the term "pro-life." Who wouldn't be for life? I'm for life. "Support the Troops" is a political statement, just as is a "pro-life" sticker. Rules are rules, after all.

Lola, darling, what did you have for breakfast??



letting the dollar slide is an inevitable and utterly natural result of our trade defecit. This is a consequence of the independent choices millions of American consumers have made in buying imported goods. It makes our exports more attractive and is a quite natural anecdote to the problem that created it.

MG:-

Have you ever read Russell's discussion of Dewey in A History Of Western Philosophy?

What's the thing you have with monkeys?We all love monkeys here.We watch every film we can that has them,Even the anthropomorphic ones.I find humans more interesting.I thought Witches of Eastwick superior to Planet of the Apes in many ways particularly with regard to useful lessons.

Georgeob:-

It might well be a natural antidote but what if we get into a round of competitive devaluations and everybody takes that isolationist view?

To mangle Harold Wilson's famous devaluation speech-it doesn't mean that the dollar in your pocket,or in your purse,is worth less.

Not much it doesn't.Wilson never lived it down.He was much admired though for the look of veritas he maintained whilst he mouthed it.
