No, blathering fucktard - I was referring to the slime that slides up and down the halls of Congress, arranging for deep sea fish junkets to the Carribian every time an interstate highway project comes up - so stop with that silly ‘every little man’s letter’ bullshit. You know fucking-a-well those get round-filed or shreaded.
At Coretta Scott King's funeral in early 2006, Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert Kennedy, leaned over to him and whispered, "The torch is being passed to you." "A chill went up my spine," Obama told an aide. (Newsweek)

The problem isn't lobbying. The problem is that the federal government is operating in areas that are none of its business, and that means that everyone, large and small, has to lobby to protect themselves. Classic example: Prior to 1996, Microsoft had no presence in Washington. Then, after one of the Clinton's White House business breakfasts, the CEOs of Sun Microsystems and a few other Microsoft competitors, who had just made hefty donations to the DNC, mentioned how unfair they thought it was that Microsoft had its own browser. The subsequent investigation was an obvious case of the Justice Dept. doing the dirty work for companies that couldn't effectively compete, and the settlement taught Bill Gates that if he wanted to stay in business, he had to maintain the same kind of lobbying effort that his competitors did. When a corporation genuinely feels that another corporation has violated its rights, it takes them to court. When a corporation has screwed the pooch and wants to attack another corporation for being more efficient or effective, it gets federal regulators to do the job.

Your first idea is genius. Maybe if Ryan Seacrest were hosting the presidential voting session more Sheeple would turn out. I shudder at the thought.:p
As for your second statement, I think we level headed conservatives know the policymakers in this country have succumedto the totalitarian temptation a long time ago...after all Fascism wont come to America with Black Shirts and Jackboots. Happy, nice Fascism is the liberal order of the day. Smiley smiley:D
Just look at the recent decisions of San Fransicko DA Kamala Harris and how she decides prosecuting GangBangers isn't such a great idea, then a father and his 2 sons get slaughtered over a roadside dispute by a gun toting illegal alien. Me thinks we should round up a posse and do things how they did in the Old West.

Here they are broken down.
Declared States:
United States
Russia
Britain
France
China
India
Pakistan
North Korea
Suspected States:
Israel (we know they have them but we don't admit it)
Iran
Libya
States Formerly Possessing or Pursuing Nuclear Weapons:
Argentina
Brazil
Iraq
South Africa
South Korea
Sweden
Switzerland
Taiwan
Algeria
Former Soviet States
Ukraine
Kazakhstan
Belarus
Other Nuclear Capable States:
Australia
Canada
Germany
Japan
Netherlands
Now, which of these do you claim the Russians armed? Even if the Russians armed them, how does a past wrong negate a present wrong?
The Russians have little to do with the current state of nuclear states... at least they have no more culpability than we do.
I don't mean to suggest that we don't have an active interest in what goes on between the N.K. and S.K....I'm just not convinced that we do more good than harm in negotiations between the two. And I see little strategic value of an insiginficant peninsula.
We ultimately agree on the last point you made.
If direct intervention with a nuclear state that threatens to rain fire on your western seaboard isn't rational, what exactly is?Last edited by Full-Auto; 06-28-2008 at 03:06 AM.

Other Nuclear Capable States:
Australia
We have ONE reactor, used for making nucleonic particles for radiation medicine. We have no delivery systems, no programs, no long range bombers, no missile sites, no research...

But you have the know-how. That's how you made he list. Are you saying you don't know anything about nuclear fuel or weapons?

Australia is not currently known or believed to possess weapons of mass destruction, although it has participated in extensive research into nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in the past.Last edited by Full-Auto; 06-28-2008 at 04:23 AM.

That has been my position since 1998 when I frist served over here. I am more fully convinced of it now. When the S.K.s almost got their wish for troop reductions this year, they backed out and asked us to delay drawing down. This benefits ONLY the S.K.s as they don't have to replace us with their own assets. While we are here, the mexican infestation gets worseon our own southern border.
Big Lie 1: It is impossible to deport 12 million illegals.
Easy Answer: The Mexicans did it.
Big Lie 2: It is impossible to secure our southern border.
Easy Answer: We secured the northern border of South Korea for the last 55 years.
