The whole goshdarn world is watching a buncha' American folks freakin' out over a stray Cessna.

We've given up our civil rights.

We've had our votes diverted/stolen/quashed.

We're allowing a handful of corrupt politicians con us into giving them our blood and treasure for corporate profits.

Poverty is up, adequate healthcare is down, prisons are growing, jobs are decreasing, schools are suffering, etc.

What a shame!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

1. Maybe it's a White House signal "of some kind" to the media.
I'm not sure what they mean by this, other than the explicit message that they're afraid.

Is the signal that's being sent in plain view for all to see something other than the overt or explicit message broadcast? What's the real issue here? Are investigators getting close to the White House yet?

6. *LOL* "Are investigators getting close to the White House yet?"
If they were,...what would happen?

I think we all know why the neoCONs and the corporateers are so paranoid since they have engaged in SO MANY unjust and immoral and abusive and illegal acts against humanity, against the interest of American citizens.

What sucks is,...they are projecting their own fear of being subjected to a just retribution (divine justice),...and, basically, defending their own hell by USING us as a shield. They are desperate and scared and out-of-control and SICK!!!

3. I'm glad someone besides me gets it
The whole premise of the war on "Terror" is that the terrorists envy our way of life, our liberty, and want to destroy it. By sacrificing our liberty (ANY of it) in exchange for the perception of safety we are handing them a victory by default.

5. "handing them a victory by default",....
,...well put.

It's hard for me to doubt that, given the hell our corporacrats have delivered around the globe, there are those seeking revenge.

However, the neoCONs and their corporacrat masters have intentionally exaggerated fear in order to USE us!!!

Just consider the losses WE have had to bear since the neoCONs and their greedy corporate partners have taken power: over 1600 military wo/men dead; about 14,000 military wo/men disabled; an overall decrease in the quality of American lives; Americans dying from inadequate health care, starving from fewer jobs, fighting eachother over three or four divisive matters; extremists pouring out from every earthly pore; to say nothing of those innocent human beings who walk among our bombs and bullets every single day.

Not only did the "terrorists" win,...the freakin' neoCONs handed them a victory. Life in the United States SUCKS!!!!

4. Yup....after 9/11 the American people could have set an example..
that Americans are strong and free and this horrible tragedy will not stop you from living....hey you even said that you wouldn't allow the Terrorists to win...they won't make you change your daily routines and lives...well that sure was a lie eh?....fear.....America gave into the fear!!!! and they are allowing it to continue....and the worst part is the world is watching as your country and your rights slowly die....I guess its better than having people die eh?...better to be safe and live in fear rather than be free and happy....makes for better sheep i suppose...

9. Notice how the "freepers" have suddenly turned their backs on FDR?
Edited on Wed May-11-05 09:13 PM by Just Me
The worst leadership is using others lives as a tool to embolden their own selfishness.

Instead of empowering others, this leadership disempowers,...for themselves.

Instead of being bold advocates of human worth and potential,...they drag the human spirit down such that they can FORCE, by psyche or by violence, their greedy desire over others.

Evil. It's called, "EVIL".
