When moronic editors combine their talents with even lamer musicians they take political parody to all new lameness...
There should be penalties for things this lame.
Iraq is nothing more than an imperial invasion, engaged in for the benefit of OPEC and Israel. Ronald Reagan once said that democracies don't start wars; we've long since lost that mantle.
You want good anti-McCain vids? This one hits like a ton of bricks:

This one features Bob Dornan and Bob Smith:

If there were penalties for lameness, McCullough would have earned the death penalty by now. :)

We may well be in Iraq 100 years. We have been in Japan and Germany over 60 and Korea over 50. Historically, wars are part of the human existence and we can extrapolate from that "there will be other wars". Will we have to bomb Iran? Somebody will; you can take that to the bank. McCain made one serious error--he used levity to tell the American people the truth. This world is a serious place; there is always room for serious honesty when a Presidential candidate is talking to the American people. "Talking" is the key, speech making is just "layering Bullsh*t" written by handlers on the lame brain day after day after day. |

Only psychopaths and lunatics actually WANT war. Unfortunately, sometimes the rest of us have to fight because the alternative is much worse.
Looking at Europe - the second half of the 20th century has been notable for its PEACEFULNESS. Prior to the "Pax Americana", Europe was CONSTANTLY at war. This is the continent that gave us the 100 years war.
Now, America has enforced peace, not just on Europe, but to a large extent on the world. Remember the invasion of Kuwait? Who knows what Saddam's next step would have been if we hadn't stepped in? Yes, perhaps we should never have invaded Iraq the second time, but due to that invasion, Libya actually calmed down. And prior to that invasion, we'd had plenty of attacks on US targets by the Islamic extremists.
Bottom line - if the US didn't exist, the world would not all be holding hands and singing Kum-bah-ya. I suspect the warfare would be a LOT WORSE. The reason things are as calm as they are is that the US military is feared. If we didn't have a strong military, if we were weak, it wouldn't stop nations attacking us or each other.
Nations play out on a large scale what individuals often do to each other. Anyone who disagrees with me, question the kids who get bullied in schools every day. Who do the bullies pick on? Those who can't, or won't, fight back. |

I understand there will be more wars but that does NOT mean America should fight in every one of them.
We should attack when attacked but not sign perpetual treaties which say if "PoDunk" country gets attacked, it is in the Vital Security Interest of the USA and it is the same as the USA being Attacked. No President before Bush believed that.
Bush put us on an "EMPIRE OF DEMOCRACY for the Planet" path that has made America not trustworthy to much of the planet.
Again, if threatened, defend; if attacked, attack and destroy, otherwise let "PoDunk's" do what they have done for 6000 years beat each other up but lets Defend America first. |

I think if shows that McCain embraces the neocon position. Project Ameerica might throughout the world. (Apparently it will have to be with airpower since the Army is broken.)
As for being in Korea and Germany for 50+ years - that was a result of defense (of the USA) of a conventional war with the Soviet Union. Our troops in Korea and Germany were to increase the lenght of the nuclear-fuse. That NATO war scenario is not relevant today. (Bush not only broken the Army and the Republican Party, he also has broken NATO.) Yet the troops remain there. What is their purpose? Certainly not the defense of America. It is Empire America.
McCain vs. Obama.
Empire/War vs. Socialism/Taxes
How Depressing. |

Beastie boy is a complete moron. The war in Iraq is not and has never been about oil. If it was then where is it? Where is all this oil we've supposedly captured? It's still in the hands of the Iraqi government, who is still selling it to us at Opec's inflated price. If you would bother to check your facts, you would find that 3/4 of Opec was against the war on Iraq, not for it.
Warrior is correct on all his points except that I'm not quite sure about anyone bombing Iran. Iran today is undergoing a 1960's type revolution in its younger generations. They want more freedom and greater trade with the west so they can have rock and roll and blue jeans like everybody else. This is not to say that the situation there is not dangerous. It is, and will be so for some time, so some sort of treaty with Iraq for the establishment of military bases there makes a lot of sense.
Vito is of course just another liberal bobble-head like beastie boy: smiling vacantly and nodding madly about anything the commie left decides to claim as fact, without having the brains to think for themselves.

Shefali's thinking is right on the money and I applaud your well written and well thought out response. It gives me hope that America still has people whose minds are not so full of the garbage which spews forth from our public school's and university's that they have lost the ability to make reasonable judgements from the true facts at hand. Well done.
LittleL1954's comment though may be the dumbest of all though. "No president before Bush believed that". Is your memory really that bad? Have you never heard of World War 1 & 2? We became involved in them because of attacks on our friends. Of course, they will say: "Wrong! We got involved in WW2 because we were attacked by Japan!" This is incorrect. We got involved in WW2 two years before that happened. American airmen and officers were serving in England's air corps long before then. F.D.R. was chomping at the bit to get us in on the war so much that he and his "Screw Deal" cronies purposely ignored warnings from as early as 3 months before Pearl Harbor was attacked. We had actually broken their secret "unbreakable" military code over a year before. Try actually reading some history. I would suggest John Toland's excellent book "The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of The Japanese Empire". You might actually learn something.
Dr.Bob's comments are so insipid they actually aren't worth writing about, except to say that he sounds metally ill and should seek treatment from a real doctor.
Hey Gerrie: put me down for six boxed sets of those dvd's. I want to send them to family members this Christmas. |

Apparently I exhibit mental illness is reaching the conclusions that John McCain embraces the neocon's project-American force position and that Obama is basically a socialis. (Indeed I am actually demented to think that Bush's policies have broken the US Army, Nato, and the Republican party.)
Apparently I am also mential ill in believing the US maintended bases in Germany, Korea and Japan mainly in regards to a threat to the US from the Soviet Union. I always thought the primary reason for troops well after the post war period was to engage the Soviet's over there in a conventional war and lengthen the nuclear trip-wire. Geez I never considered One Who Knows and Shefali's postions that those bases were to keep peace among Western Europeans - who absent our presence would have started WWIII among each other.
But accepting One Who Knows as being in the know, maybe he could tell us why we need to have troops in Germany today? Why in Japan? Even Korea - since our troop level there is clearly not sufficient to hold back a North Korean invasion. (Perhaps to maintain the peace in South Korea?) His he worried that our Nato allies would go to war with each other except for our presence?
I will state my demented position once more. This election is depressing. It is a choice of continued foreign interventionism vs. even bigger federal government.
I say it is a choice of Empire America vs. The People's Republic of America.
And I say 'how depressing' but hey - I am mentally ill.
