Bush joke (parting shot)
Apologies if you've already heard this one:
One sunny day in January, 2009 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and again just walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it." The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow, sir." -- Found--the gene that causes belief in genetic determinism |

A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

Its going to be a sick country by the time he grows up, very sick. |

You're looking through the wrong end of the telescope. I don't mean to be harsh, but you shouldn't have had kids if you regret bringing them into the _this_ world. The world doesn't change. There are wars, famine, etc., etc. This is as it has always been, and there's no reason to believe it will change in any time frame that you can imagine. This is neither a good thing, nor a bad thing - it just is. I'll make some assumptions. Your kid has a roof over his head, food on the table, is in reasonable health and has parents that care. With that in mind, who gives a rat's ass about the politics? Focus on the positive and pass _that_ attitude on to your kid, not the "oh, the world is going to hell in a hand basket" attitude when things aren't going the way you'd prefer. You'll both be thankful for it. R |

That some folks choose to hear Commies thumping around under their beds at night does not mean the rest of the nation need share their irrational fears. Elections have consequences, we heard that the past eight years in reference to foreign and domestic policy. But suddenly when an election produces a result some folks don't like, look out, the old slogans from the McCarthy era get dusted off. Meanwhile the percentage of the population that will admit to being Republican has dropped to something like 21%, and the old Democratic Party circular firing squad has been replaced by an odd exercise where Republicans criticize Rush Limbaugh and then have to eat their words when El Rushbo jerks their leash. Me, I'm looking forward to the day when the Republican Party rebuilds itself with real conservatives in charge (as opposed to the opportunistic clowns and right-wingnuts currently calling the shots). As a lifelong conservative I find it kind of embarrassing to have no party representing my point of view available. Meanwhile those of you who see Communists hiding behind every bush need to grow up, you're making fools of yourselves. |

"The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat." The fact that unwitting accomplices choose to ignore what is unfolding right before their eyes without making any effort to challenge or question what this guy is doing, doesn't change the fact that it is happening. All forms of government are socialism at their core, dopey. |

Yeah, good point, using a teleprompter is waaaay more serious than starting a war on false pretenses. Has Barack's propaganda campaign resorted to selling pre-loaded teleprompters on the black market? |

Au contraire; I think that's the best part of the joke. And entirely plausible since the military vote went for Obama, not the republicans. not true. |

The bond holders get less than 30 cents on the dollar. but the unions are getting much more than the secured stockholders,who by law are supposed to come first. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Before Bush became president,BJClinton also stated Saddam still had WMD. Foreign leaders all believed he had WMD. And theere was more than just that reasom for going to war with Saddam.

I'll make some assumptions. *Your kid has a roof over his head, food on the table, is in reasonable health and has parents that care. *With that in mind, who gives a rat's ass about the politics? Maybe you should ask the Germans what happens when you take that attitude. I seem to recall a war that cost 50mil+ lives not too long ago. There are countless other examples I could cite, but what's the point? It's incredible anyone could make such a stupid statement, but it does show where we are headed. *Focus on the positive and pass _that_ attitude on to your kid, not the "oh, the world is going to hell in a hand basket" attitude when things aren't going the way you'd prefer. *You'll both be thankful for it.

Of course, he is doing pretty much what he said he was going to do. Anyone calling him a commie is really far off the right edge. I'm not an irrational Bush hater, I hate him for perfectly logical reasons. I believe he did tremendous harm to my country. Hopefully Obama can repair some of the damage. Most people in the US believe as I do. Bush was a big failure as a President. |

As for the claim made above that the military vote went for Obama, I'd like to see a credible reference for that. The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, Move-On, you know, the same rational, well-meaning folks who continue to perpetuate the propaganda that Bush stole the election, despite the postmortem conducted by all the major liberal media outlets which showed that W. got more votes. The truth of the matter was it was Gore who started the whole recount thing trying to steal the election by demanding recounts only in Florida counties he believed would favor the outcome for him. But no one seems to remember or advertise that. |
