I propose a middle party. We'll call it The American Party. Our symbol will be the Eagle - fuck a bunch of donkeys and elephants, we're American Eagles, bitches!

The Turkey would be more historically appropriate

Among other things, I'm sure. But that's probably the big one for most of us.

Yeah...thats what we said. Completely fabricated and baseless hate.

For example...Halliburton. They were in a specialized industry. Only a couple companies were in that industry. One was American, another French, another Russian, and one Chinese...of those only the French company could have competed with Halliburton for the contract (the others were in no position to make the commitment or provided the services on the scale needed although the Chinese have since become involved through a seperate agreement with the Iraqi govt, but in 2003, they were not really an option). Somehow I don't have a problem giving the contract to the American company over the cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

Yup, just as I always suspected - completely fabricated and baseless hate. ;)

Yes, that was based on completely fabricated and baseless hate, too. Hate of Saddam, by Bush and Cheney. Fabricated and baseless "intelligence" and accusations gave free rein to that hate.

See? "Hero" is right - it IS all about fabricated and baselss hate. He's just dead wrong about which direction it's coming from. But he works for the government, which his own party says can't do anything right. To quote his own "hero", Ronald Reagan,

The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.

As Reagan pointed out, "Hero" here is definitely not among the best minds...


(Of course, those who look up to Reagan for saying such things tend to utterly disregard the fact that he spent a great deal of his life IN GOVERNMENT, clearly proving that he was NOT one of the great minds!)
