Our entire national paradigm seemingly is moving into the T-zone.
We’re wasting huuuuge amounts of money as taxpayers on this ongoing crap in faraway zones of conflict. Who is the enemy? Evidently we’ve met the enemy and “he is us”, to paraphrase an old “Pogo” cartoon strip.
Even Osama bin Laden was on the CIA payroll for many years, now its Karzai’s brother of which he has two. One is linked to the opium trade and the other is a shadetree business man, but ol’ Karzai is still our main man…no?!
We’re being had by international scriptwriters in the bowels of the CIA who are cranking out this “sick script”; ie., international social psychodrama all for the purpose of bleeding the American tax debtor white while fighting no win shadow wars on drugs, terrorists and soon our very thoughts themselves if they are given enough “slack”.
Get motivated people and start kicking the doors of your reps offices. If they don’t show any life support for our national cause then they need to get the “boot” in 2010, 2012,2014…ad infinitum. No rep should get a second term if this kind of crap continues…period!
That’s the only way we can win within the law of the land; ie., to never give them a second term in office no matter how appealing their performance…period! A second term only predisposes them to corruption.

But this is our national cause, Carl. American full-spectrum global dominance.
American Empire!
“I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war. All their energies are expended in the destruction of the labor, property and lives of their people.” – Thomas Jefferson
Nice rant Carl –
On January 19, 2008, in one of my early blogs here I was musing about the rhetoric vs the reality of what CHB’ers were up to. As I recall, I had action on my mind.
My question then was: “Is this all [just]existential crap?”
Glad to see your call to action, let’s hope the bow of this Titanic hasn’t plunged beneath the white caps yet. My fear, though, is the inaction of those who cling to the notion that our once-great country remains so, that all we need to DO is trust in the status quo.
Thanks to both of you for your supportive feedback.
This news that Karzai’s brother is on the CIA payroll turned my blood to icewater for the second time in a week. The first was reading the eight page article by Mat Taibbi a Rolling Stone contributor concerning “naked” short selling and our government officials’ complicity in destroying Lehmann Brothers, Bear Stearns et al.!?
What sorry, evil sob’s we have for leaders in these trying, quite possibly “end times” for our Republic.
If we go back to the Nixon Watergate era, although protracted, the scandal finally forced “tricky Dick” out of office. There was genuine public outrage with a price to be paid!
In our times it seems nothing is too outrageous for us to endure. There is no justice, or even worse, any “interest” in the same. It seems Thrasymachus was right, a character in Plato’s Republic…”justice is the advantage of the stronger” and that “injustice, if it is on a large enough scale, is stronger, freer, and more masterly than justice’”…Thrasymachus, extract from the “The Republic” 380 BCE.

“In our times it seems nothing is too outrageous for us to endure.”
Couldn’t have said it better or more succinctly myself.
In fact, the more outrageous, the easier to swallow – except for reality, that is.
Reality takes a back seat to feel-good rhetoric and partisan shepherding.
Stick around Ladies and Gentlemen, just don’t try to touch the puzzle pieces that you’ve placed in eternal incumbency.
PS. Lets get jiggly with the table as that it’s nothing other than our backs to the few at the one table so greedily aged.
Face forward, head up,
it all comes at one speed, the light that is.
If your not a Veteran we don’t care, 2012-2??? the question is still there. “Is this a social psychodrama”, Omen?
Who or what generation is next on the menu and if you are that far removed from the fight,
move,
Honor, Duty, Country is taking over..ALLONS
