The Hundred-Years War

I wasn't going to add anything until I read Jim Johnson's screamingly funny remark about how 'coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system." Lord, has he ever read a history book, ANY history book? Coercion and fraud are almost PRIME-MOVERS in a free-market system. And the winners are " those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined and efficient?" Really? So everyone who lost their life savings in the Enron collapse, or the current mess is 'shiftless, lazy, etc.,etc." By the way, Jimbo, I'm successful...and I'm voting for Obama.

Dickey,

You are showing your ignorance and your support for Obama! McCain said nothing about a hundred years war. You are a total jerk!

Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!!


Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient. [What about the role of luck­being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time? R. R. Pope}

Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

As per the posts below, your words are wasted on the American public who still believe the lies they were fed by the outgoing administration.

It's about time the left takes another look at Ronald Reagan and all the other strident anti-communists of the 20th century like Barry Goldwater and Joseph R. McCarthy. After all it was a Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald and a communist Sirhan Sirhan who knocked off the Kennedy Brothers. Now check out my book at Amazon.com

The Epoch Point by Spencer Zimmerman is a religious historical conspiracy thriller that follows evil throughout the existence of mankind, revealing the constant conflict between God and the devil, good and evil. Robert Davis is a young Airman fresh out of Air Force basic training who, after being held captive in China, suddenly finds himself unraveling the most immense conspiracy in history. On duty during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he soon uncovers hidden facts suggesting Russian and Iraqi involvement. While exploring abandoned military barracks at Kessler AFB in Mississippi, Davis and his friends discover the diary of Lee Harvey Oswald. Suddenly the Airmen find themselves the target of mysterious agents. As the clues surface, an evil emerges powerful enough to rewrite the entire history of humanity, not to mention kill two of his good friends. Before long the conspiracy takes on a supernatural form, marked by lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, the wrath of God. Davis finds himself torn by the unbelievable realization that God has a message for him. Nothing could prepare him for the final suspenseful twist the story takes, a Da Vinci style revelation that reaffirms his belief in Christ.

Is this joker trying to impress us with the whole 'Paris brasserie' and oysters crap???

Many people seem to be confused or maybe it is Me? Didnt Pres.Bush stand on a big ship and tell us that the War is Over?! In previous Wars that the U.S. were in When the War was over (other than established bases) our troops came home. Makes me wonder how much is the Pres. and his buddies making (monetarily) by keeping our family member in this ridiculous civil conflict overseas. The threat of "We dont want to fight thes war on our shore" is a fear tactic that this government uses as an excuse not to secure our own borders as money invested and made by politician isnt in this country they have it invested out of our country These comments are not researched but is how How Ifeel our government led by Bush has realy gone WRONG I am not putting anouther Republican in our White House that promises more of the same !

So Dickey the bottom line for you is " Lets try to talk some sense into these people who have no respect for american lives whatsoever". With a Democratic President we will be fighting on our own soil instead of theirs. You people just don't seem to understand the kind of mindset that we are dealing with. It is about religion and you libs are trying to act like all we have to do is just be nice and they will go away. Their religion teaches them different. They want you to think that being nice to them changes things because that is when we are vulnerable. You need to wake up out of your dream and realize your enemy is called radical muslims. This country is only weak when we have leaders who are not willing to take a stand and fight back. Right now those leaders are called Democrats.

no

dickey u t just spewing out word....nothing but words.
all yr predictions about iraq has been proved wrong.
u twist facts and comment on assumptions.
iraq is a war won aganst al qaida and oppression.
bush is a great statesman and will be know as the greated leader the world has known for decades to come.

Success in Iraq and the war is over only when there are no more soldiers on the streets and no more green zones - just normal Baghdad like any other peaceful city in the world where you can walk freely.

lovo del norte, perhaps paranoid, but still better than putting my head in the sand. Are you willing to bet your life that we will remain safe? Your statement "now people in Iraq are worse than they were when they were under husseins rule"--are you sure? Have you been there? Have you seen any evidence other than what the media will have you believe? The media does a good job of presenting one side of the situation. Only the people who have had boots on the ground could tell you the real story here, not the liberal media. The best place to find out the real story is to read what some actual soldiers have posted--hear it from the horses mouth, not what you see on TV. We did have a plan when we went in there. There was obviously some things that happened that we did not count on. The real issue is how do we get out and let the Iraq people win.

also, xsoldier, if we didn't have a plan why did we go there in the first place? now people in Iraq are worse than they were when they were under husseins rule. so if there is no game-plan, don't play! you may loose! and tell me what is happening to us now? have we won anything?

xsoldier, you are paranoid!

apolemic, Too bad you will be the first one to blame everyone else when this country gets hit again. People who put thier heads in the sand and refuse to believe that there is a real threat to us and our country are a sad lot. Its usually those whos lives have not been touched at all from the previous attacks that have deluded themselves in believing that anyone who dares to say it could and will happen again are fear mongers. Imagine the suprise when the dirty bomb goes off in New York and kills millions of people. There are peopls as we speak who are trying to make this happen. Its not fear mongering--its a fact of 2008 and you bet we had better be scared. And we had better be taking steps. I am not prepared to just sit back, pretend these people are not out there and slam anyone who has real knowledge of the reality of the threat.
