lumpy,
I just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done. I’m going to mix a match some of lumpy’s “top quotes” as a sort of tribute to him. Here we go:
You stated:
George Bush does NOT = America, genius. Criticising Bush is not “criticizing America”.
You are not only against Bush but against a huge portion of the American population. Want proof? In your own words:
“You are not one of the mindless “sheeple” who don’t think for themselves, who swallow everything the government tells the media to tell you. You don’t think a military attack is an excuse to feel smug because you can wave your little flag around and puff out your chest and act all bad-ass.”
That takes care of what you think about people who supported our efforts in this war.
“Goldberg
Your comment suggests that you are conservative not because you have wrestled with both sides of the issues, but because you are narrow-minded or uninformed.”
Here’s your opinion of Conservatives in general.
“That may not be true, but your comment does suggest you lack perspective and the power to reason.”
Another “gentle” reminder of how you view Conservatives.
“It’s one thing to form opinions based on reasoning, it’s another to have opinions because you don’t understand the complexities of various issues.”
Number three, lumpy.
“The UN resolutions do not give the US the power to declare war.”
Thanks, but the un does not determine when we can declare war. Anyone here want to be subject to the whims of a self-serving council like the un? lumpy, put your hand down.
“As far as Saddam “deciding to act like a tough guy” (I think that was your comment) he has ALWAYS acted like a tough guy. The US put him in a no-win situation, because the hawks in the Bush cabinet have been planning the overthrow of Saddam for years (before Bush was elected they were discussing it).”
Is this kind of like “a vast right-wing conspiracy?” Wait, I think that was an indictment against both Bush and his whole cabinet. Your web of criticism is spreading rapidly, lumpy.
“This kind of God Bless America crap almost always comes out when we are bombing the shit out of some country.”
My personal “favorite.” This one was close to being called a “nazi fuckhead” for me. Those of us who have served our country take maximum umbrage at lumpy for this one. “God Bless America” is most definetly not crap. Oh, there’s the indictment against Patriots and people who support America in general.
“It looks like we are heading towards a police state and Fascism over here, so I’m sure you will have a bright future”
Apparently the Republicans are “facists.” They also believe in a police state. Wasn’t it billy boy who introduced 100,000 more police?
“Actually, there are reports that “high-ranking” administration officials were warned of an impending attack on the US, possibly even Bush himself. The implication being that administration officials failed to act on tipsin a way that might have prevented (or at least minimized) the massive damage.”
Another one that shows lumpy’s “moderate” stance. So Republicans allowed September 11th to happen? Are you getting the feeling that this guy needs medication?
“If the lyrics are about violence or “thug life”, so what.”
lumpy=family values.
“If we don’t want Iraq to have weapons, we shouldn’t have sold them the arms in the first place. The Republicans are the big winners here… their buddies in the weapons contracting business (where many Republican officials go after leaving office) make a ton of money, as well as the pumped up military budget and graft at the Pentagon. What a great scam!!! First, you sell them the weapons. Then a few years later, you confiscate them all, and blow a bunch of shit up. Brilliant!”
Republicans caused the former iraqi regime and all it’s evils. It was all some sort of “vast Right Wing Conspiracy” to sell more weapons.
The next Moore documentary will supposedly show the documented links between the Bush and Bin Laden families
Did you know that Neill Bush (savings & loan scandal) was supposed to have dinner with Hinckley’s brother the day after the Reagan asassination attempt? (George Bush Sr, was VP and would have become president if Reagan had died). Things that make you go “hmmm”."
Maybe two medicines. The ties between Bush and bin laden. What a tick? I thought they didn’t like each other much? Oh, I get it, bin laden was on the whole “cause the war so we can sell the weapons gig.” lumpy, it’s all starting to make sense. Maybe the reason we can’t find bin laden is that he isn’t in Afghanistan at all. He’s having cocktail parties in the Lincoln Bedroom. The stink of it is, he’s staying on your tax dollars (oops, wrong administration).
Oh, if we aren’t in power, we might as well assassinate Ronald Reagan to get it. lumpy, the world is becoming much clearer.
In summary, thank you for your efforts. You’ve broadened my horizons with your impartiality. I’ll be sure to distrust everyone who isn’t a liberal democrat. hillary in 2004!!!
