If this isn't Goebbels/Stalin/Mao like propaganda I don't know what is.

"People Powered Revolution" Thats what it says on the cover. I don't think your assessment is too extreme of a thought, Finn. If too many people think their happiness and success hinges upon what government will give them, we are dangerously close to a disaster in the making. This is not the America that I was taught was supposed to be. I fear for the future of this country. Seriously.

I am forced to say that you don't know what is, then.

What have you been through in that regard teeny?

I would bet you would go WAA! WAA! if your Mum forget your birfday.

First, learn how to spell!

Military Wife for 22 years! Husband is a Viet Nam Vet, Gulf War 1 and 2 veteran, father was a Buffalo Soldier, WWII, Grandfather was a WWI Veteran, 4 Uncles served in WWII and Korean War. Son, served a year in Korea, 501st MI Group and he volunteered! Personally, the Black Men in my family served a country that spouted democracy, but not for them!

My father helped capture 37,000 Nazis in Italy, yet he had to ride in a train car BEHIND these bastards! Me? I've suffer the indignity of being born Black in America. It didn't make me special, except when I sat on the bus, streetcars or tried to drink from a "for whites only", water fountain and so forth.

I guess you can say I survived the war against Black Americans in a white country, stolen from the Indians. I'm not a "boomer", because I was born during the war and still survived racism, is what! Any other stupid questions?
:wink:

How long after Vietnam did you marry your husband?

I married him in 1969, not after. After is 1975. Married almost 38 years and he has a claim in for asbestos, from the Ship he was stationed on. Matter of fact his ship, the USS Satyr is still over there, left behind. A refurbished WWII Destroyer. My husband is a Tin Can Sailor, having been stationed on 4 Destroyers, his 4 years in the Navy, plus 22 in the Army National Guard. Any more questions?

With one run to Long Xuyen, she remained in the Tan Chau area until 15 February 1971 and then returned to Long Xuyen where she operated until decommissioned and transferred to the South Vietnamese Navy on 30 September 1971. The same day she was re-commissioned as the VNS Vinh Long (HQ-802). With the fall of the South Vietnamese Government she left for the Philippines where she served as Yakal in the Philippine Navy.

Interesting, that Rolling Stone cover, Obama looks alot more dignified than the cartoons in the paper, with big ears, pointed chin, etc. The cartoonists will have a heyday with Obama if he wins. They are already, some of them. But word has it that Obama does not have a sense of humor about his ears, and other things, so will he shut down the cartoonists if he becomes president?

Yes, Obama looks more dignified in person then caricatures make him look.

You can't really be so clueless, to that completely miss Cyclops' point...

I'm surprised Rolling Stone didn't unbutton the shirt so we could see a bit of the letter "S".

I do happen to think the country is in trouble, judging by the number of clueless, sort of aimless people out there - all looking for something or somebody to make them happy. People that think life is unfair, that the rich are the reason they are unhappy, and that some politician comes along, with no experience, no credentials, but begins to sloganeer the campaign with all of these vague promises of change, change to what they don't seem to know, but it is troubling that so many people place all of their hopes and dreams into such a person. That is not a good sign.
