Long Live U.S. Imperialism

Tell me what Imperalist regime has worked? through in the past 6 years of American imperalism too!
Even the so called great reagan/GOP cold war victory was a farce!

Neo- conservatism is a dismal failure, all the proof is in your house equity, your bank accounts, your paycheck, it???s on Wallstreet, its on the shelves of your supermarket, its on the corner gas station, its in the loss of jobs and homes
and on the streets and deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan.!

It???s in the defiance of Pakistan, Russia, Venezuela and now China!

We all know conservatives want to plug in the same theology the same ideology from yet another legislator that represents the betrayal, the greed and the duplicity that has buried us to this point!

War are won or lost by the rightness and decency of the participants!
As our nations history goes we have never lost a war when we were right but now we have lost wars because we were ideologically wrong! It???s not just about strength its about wisdom and justice.
American qualities that have been inactive during the past seven plus years of conservative politics!
American ideals that the GOP and neoconservatives have never able to grasp!

Sarah palin when asked about becoming vp responded

"As for that VP talk all the time, I tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me, 'what is it exactly that the VP does every day......"

After she had been the nominee for around 2 months she was asked again and this time said

[T]hey???re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.

WRONG THE VP IS THERE TO STEP IN IF SOMTHING HAPPENS TO THE PRESIDENT ONLY THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH POLICY AND THEY DONT RUN THE SENATE!!
If she doenst know what the vice pres or presidant does why would we give her the job

Mccain has around a 40 percent chance because of his age in not being able to

complete his term picking palin was about as smart as picking any other mrs Alaska contestant.

Its not just that we disagree with her answers in alot of cases she doesnt understand basic questions
like what is the bush doctrine, or what do you read.
These are not gotcha questions!!!
One of advisors recently said not only was she unqualified but said mccain picked her after 1 interview of about a hour
and that even at mcdonalds you get 3 interviews.
Members of her own campaign called her a diva and a whack job.
They would know better then anyone else right now.

So mccain gambled and he lost big. He ended up with a girl that cant answer questions that most of the people reading this can answer.
at the same time mccain could never read this blog because he cant use a computer at all.
I mean his wife has 100 million dollars get him classes or something.

Am i crazy or do we want a computer literate president and a vp who can answer a least basic questions.
If you read the rest of the articles on this site you would think the world is about to end
So if thats the case these are the last 2 people you want running anything.
let send them packing.

ELECT OBAMA BIDEN NOW

Poster visitor repeatedly comments 'Comment: BS, BS, and more BS...........' with no other explanation. Would poster 'visitor' please explain your position as to why you make this comment repeatedly?

Fundamental rule of disagreements: when person A and person B have a disagreement then person A is right about half of the time. Exception 1: If someone disagrees with me then I am always right. Exception 2: anyone who agrees with me is always right on the issue in agreement. No other exceptions.

FUN QUOTES FROM PALIN
I got all of these quotes off of google quotes
You really couldn't make up this kind of stuff up if you wanted to
This all part of the reason why so many important republicans have been saying she
is a joke

When asked about her foreign policy experience she said
"As Putin rears his head," she said, referring to Russian prime Minister Vladimir Putin, "and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border."
TELLING THE TRUTH FOR A CHANGE SHE HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT HER RUN FOR VP
"It's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice-presidency"
WHEN ASKED TO NAME ONE SUPREME COURT DECISION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SHE CAME UP WITH THIS ANSWER
"I'm in that sense a federalist, where I believe that states should have more say in the laws of their lands and individual areas"
when asked again to name one decision she responded
"Well, let's see. There's -- of course -- in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings"
When asked about being a redneck she said
"Someone called me a `redneck woman' once. You know what I said back? `Thank-you very much.'"
when asked what promises she might not be able to keep
"How long have I been at this, like five weeks? So there hasn't been a whole lot that I've promised, except to do what is right..."

Talking to dobson about prayer she said
"It is that intercession that is so needed and so greatly appreciated," Palin told Dobson. "And I can feel it too, Dr. Dobson. I can feel the power of prayer, and that strength that is provided through our prayer warriors across this nation."

When asked about being a environmentalist she originally said
"I'm not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity."
when asked again later if she thought people had a impact on global warming
"Show me where I have ever said that there's absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change,"
asked about voting she said
"I truly believe that the wisdom of the people will be rebuilt on [Election Day]. As they enter that voting booth, they will understand the stark contrast between the two tickets,"
when asked how mccain did at his first debate
"I just thought he was great, because the American people are angry, and John McCain is angry, too
when asked about tina feys imitation of her she said
"I watched it with the volume all the way down," Palin said. "I thought it was hilarious."

IS SHE KIDDING IS THIS WHOLE THING A JOKE
IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE SOMEONE COULD BE THIS CLUELESS
SOMEONE THAT THINKS THEY COULD RUN THE COUTRY NOW LESS
VOTE OBAMA BIDEN NOW AND SEND HER BACK TO ALASKA

You think you know Sarah Palin and John McCain? Think again.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/22/johnmccain.uselections2008

The funniest part of all of this to me is that Palin will return to Alaska with her tail between her legs. She might try for a run in 2012, but Guiliani and Romney and whomever else vies for the Republican nomination will absolutely tear her apart. I can???t wait to see it.

For the last 8 years we have had the Financial-Consulting-Free-Trade complex doing everything they can to hollow out Middle America. They did this knowing that large Asian and German export surpluses would have to be reinvested and flow through Wall Street. Good for the Wall Street money crowd, good for the McKinsey type consultants and bad for the rest of the USA. It is time to take our country back. Stop currency manipulation, end non-trade barriers and renegotiate one way trade agreements. Cheaper wages are probably the smallest cause of our current account deficit. We have had people with ideological free-trade blinders on making trade agreements with mercantilist governments and being taken to the cleaners every time. We need to separate foreign policy initiatives from trade and end the practice of giving one-way preferences to countries that agree to do some unrelated task for the US State Department.

This is fact of the day,
should admitt with open heart,
United States is a greatest democracy in the world,
it is a leading country and many countries trying to follow its sydtem,
according to my considered opinion,America is a strongest sign of imperialism.


But i am very afraid when I see that
all people of the whole world see America and its policies with hate
on the contrary,all the dictators,specially millitary dictators ,
or other persons ,take over the power by force ,or through other means,
loves with America and can not run without American shelter.


On the American advice,
policies are made,
which confronted with popular will,
and it is open secret that,
dictators has been colecting money with both hands,
but poor people of the rich governments has always been dprived
of their legitimate fundamental rights,
it mean, as i have come to the conclusion that,
American state department care no poor people,
it has concern with the rulers,
who may carried out their policies,
which are specially dinention goes not in favour of poor people,
these are based on rulers 's benefits.


Pages of the history are witness,
united States, gave a unique support to Iranian king,
disregarding the all Iranian people,
and there revolution which put the American influence rooted out.


The same policies has been adopted in regard to Pakistan,
every dictator has been beloved of the United States,
perhaps, here in Pakistan , blood or bloodless revolution is standing a side,
and waiting the time.


The world's greatest democracy The United States of America,
should honoure democracy in the small countries,
its policies must be beneficial for poor people not for dictators,
because dictators,at last have to go,
but people remained forever.

It is incredible how much non-sequitur is contained in this opinion piece. From the unsubstantiated premise that " The problem with East Asia ... is that none of its countries trust each other", the author draws the conclusion that " on balance, the world would still be a much more dangerous place without America around". How the conclusion follows from a premise that is wrong in the first place, one wonders.

Nobody -- and certainly not Fareed Zakaria -- is talking of "a world without America around". Fair enough, "the post-America world" was an unfortunate turn of phrase for Zakaria's book, but it's 'toxicity' is less than one-thousandth that of that other much-talked about study of 'grand strategy' of more than a decade ago, Fukuyama's "The End of History and the Last Man".

Ken Ichi Omae is the one who has got it right -- we are now in a stage of history where the players that matter in 'grand strategy' are no longer nation-states but 'region-states'. The contours of a few emerging region-states have already more or less taken shape: Japan-India-South Korea will likely form one such region-state. Europe and North Africa will be a second region-state. In the Eurasian heartland, there wil continue, for quite some time to come, to be major tensions as Turkey, Iran and Pakistan form an alliance to bring under their influence by drawing away from Russian influence the key energy-resource- rich Central Asian states of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, or at least temper Russian domination of these nation-states. Meanwhile, the Middle-East proper will also continue for long years to come to be a variable-geometry region-state seeking to define itself and to decide alongside which nexus in this emerging multi-polar world it wishes to align itself in order to best serve its long-term interests. My hunch is that, for having tried to play smart-Alec with the Muslim world for so long by trying to establsih a 'Southern Caliphate' to counter the 'Northern Caliphate' of the Ottoman empire about a century ago, and having tried to use Muslim yearning for an illusionary 'golden age of Islam' to uproot its unsuspecting Mujahiddeens to fling them in the face of "Godless communism'' after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, 'the West" will, to its total discomfiture, find its strategy backfire on it, with the Middle-East aligning itself with the Turkey/Iran and at least part of the Central Asian region-state. America will then have the uncontested hegemony (leadership, as the author reminds us) of the Western Hemisphere region-state.

This, to me is the more likely scenario to the one already touted about a year ago concerning an Asian NATO to counterbalance the transatlantic NATO. However, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is far from defunct; and NATO itself may yet, post-Bush, be brought back from its slide into terminal obsolescence.
