How many hostages does it take to make Jimmy look "good"?
:shrug: In comparison to King George, Prez Carter looks pretty damned GOOD!!!

Let's count the deaths from BushCO/neoconsters' policies: well over 100,000 by conservative estimates.

Let's count the injuries from BushCO/neoconsters' politices: well over half a million by conservative estimates (that's ONLY from the war,...not from exploitations at home leading to preventable illnesses and deaths).

Let's compare the number of "terrorist acts": tripled or more around the world.

Let's compare the prospect for peace, at home, in the Middle East, and abroad: from 1 to 10, it's at less than 1.

Let's compare the number of hostages from the BushCO/neoconsters' policies: hard to say since they HIDE 'em --- we only know about those who have NON-political ties.

Jus' sayin' :shrug:

I dunno'. I get really suspicious of anyone who says they're "compassionate", these days. Bush fucked that up, too.

1. I didn't even have to read to know what you were refering to
President Carter was the first 'swiftboated' President. It's a shame that our country has devolved into what it is today, some of us were whisked off to a war of choice, some were left to fight the battle on the home front. I think the latter won the war. We were only pawns
peace

2. "We" were only pawns,....
,...in this RW war for control/dictatorship over this country.

What's scary,...is the roots of all these vines smothering the vision of all those who preceded us. TEHY never were on the "team" towards democracy. THEY never were into "us",...it was/is about their power.

But, look at how we and the world have risen up against their "friendly fascism". We may not have gotten the attention we deserved from CM, but, DAMN, we have taken a stand (documented by the people). We have far more power than THEY understand; those old, power-mongering, greedy fucks lost in an old world behind US.

We are so much further ahead of THEM,...their arrogance will not merely be humbled but rather they will be humiliated. Stupid assholes. WE ARE GLOBAL,...we human beings THEY trash for their own arrogant self-interests. WE NO LONGER TOLERATE EXPLOITATIVE TYRANTS!!!

WE pursue liberty and justice FOR ALL,...for ALL human beings because we are a member of ONE RACE: the human race.
