Big Peace : JFK's Insider Cigar Deal

Wed, 8 Feb 2012 17:05:18 +0000

This seems a bit odd as JFK or any of us can buy Cuban products in Canada because they have never embargoed any Cuban products. In fact it is a popular winter destination for Canadians. It is an amusing story like the one about Thatcher in the restuarant with her cabinet and she ordered "beef", when the waiter asked "what about the vegetables" she responded "they'll have the beef too". Amusing but probably not true.

Big Journalism : Left-Leaning Girl Scouts Promotes Soros, SEIU Funded Media Matters For America *UPDATED

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 19:33:59 +0000

dadinleftfield- saying people are scary is a way of avoiding talking about the issues they raise when one cannot, or will not, address those issues. Ad hominem attacks are used to shutter debate. If you do not like discussion, fine, do not engage in it. If the only contribution you can make is to declare people "scary", "nuts", or other attacks, you might want to consider your local grammar school playground as a venue for your epithets.

Big Journalism : Left-Leaning Girl Scouts Promotes Soros, SEIU Funded Media Matters For America *UPDATED

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:51:56 +0000

Dana, great job. The most disgusting thing about the Girl Scouts national leadership, however, is that they are still partnered with PP. Media Matters is bad, the lesbians are probably molesting, also very bad. PP is truely evil, they promote and provide abortion a.k.a. killing children. No one is picking on the scouts, it is the national leadership that people find disturbing. I am not a single issue voter; I do, on the other hand, recognize that values are hierarchical. If life is not at the top of the list, the rest will fade as well. lostinleftfielddad is missing the point. Should we have left the leaders of the Hitler Youth alone and not have bothered them with counter arguements? I think that is largely what happened and the results were not good. There are other organizations for young girls to join. http://www.illinoisrighttolife.org/GirlsScouts_Pl...

Fortunately for most of us, including Mr. King, we show far more sanity and common sense when living our lives than in our philosophizing about life. Yeah for us.

Big Hollywood : Meryl Streep Is Our Finest Actress? Think Again

Big Peace : The Iraq War Did Not End on December 17, 2011--But the Peace May Be Over Soon

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 14:13:57 +0000

The author's piece is nearly incoherent as well as syntactically and logically fallacious. The comments above are largely correct. Civil war will break out in Iraq adding to the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis that have already been killed or maimed. The war there had no justification. Not one soldier should have shed his blood there for the simple reason that what SH did was none of our business. Concerned about human rights are we? Why then have we not invaded China, the most cruel and deadly regime in the history of the world, with labor camps that put the Soviet Gulags to shame and make the genocides of Hitler and Stalin look like beach parties? Instead of invading China we grant them permanent MFN status so our businesses can take advantage of the slave labor from the camps and the virtual no pay to others in China- clue, they rival our military and can cause widespread devastation to us, unlike SH, so we leave them alone. Rubbish Cowardly rubbish.

Big Hollywood : Report: Pedophilia Rampant in Hollywood

Tue, 6 Dec 2011 01:12:35 +0000

Here are some repulsive facts according to both A.M.A.s(psychiatric & psychological): 1 out of 6 boys and 1 out of 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18. Some consider the figures low because of under-reporting. So who is doing all of this? For every abuse by a Catholic Priest(there should have been none) there are 100 abuses in the public schools of the country-that according to a government study done in 2005[which, incidently, found that abuse allegations against all clergy, protestant ministers, rabbis, priests etc.-were at 4% of members while abuse allegations against non-clergy were at 8%.]. The offenders, or accused offenders include teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, administration officials, ancillary staff, and other students. Outside the schools kids are abused by: step-parents, step-siblings, immediate and extended family members, trusted friends of families, police, doctors....well you get the picture. These figures seem high to me though we have, however, allowed our culture to slide into the gutter.

Big Peace : Bombs Over Tehran?

Fri, 4 Nov 2011 14:08:44 +0000

If China invaded Mexico and Canada we would probably change their permanent MFN status to eternal MFN status. We don't pick on nations that can actually fight back. No matter that China is the most brutal country (100 million dead, largest slave labor gulags in world history, killing their infants because of one child policy) ever, she can do real damage to us so we leave her alone. Among the reasons we use for so called regime change, brutallity to the citizenery is high on the list. China is the most murderous regime in history, but because she could possibly win a war against us we pretend that she is no threat.

Big Peace : Arabs Set a Trap For Themselves. Will Israel Close It?

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 22:53:43 +0000

It is not in the interests of the United States to care what happens to Isreal. We need to stop all foreign aid to all countries (Israel gets 40% of it) and concetrate on fixing the US. For indivuals and groups who care what happens to Isreal, let them send money or go help personally. The US, having no vital stake in the survival or destruction of Israel, should bow out and let whatever happens happen.

Two of them were murdered within one week. No of this was even hinted at when media outlets began with the One narrative. Go on line and see what you think.

Big Peace : WaPo Reporter: JFK 'The Flat-Out Absolute Worst U.S. President Of The 20th Century'

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:37:41 +0000

There is no defense for JFK, he cheated to get elected(father would buy opposition radio stations and close them)-Daley lost votes etc). Bay of pigs, refused to provide air cover for Cuban nationalists after agreeing to do so, just let them be slaughtered. JFK on race "I don't lose sleep over the problems of Negroe's" but pretended like he cared. had Ted Sorenson write "profiles" while jfk took the prize. Had Diem assinated. appointed his unqualified loser brother appointed as AG. Shared a mistress with a mobster. Total sack, and would have lost in 64 as press was growing tired of cover up his affairs. JFK even admitted that had his brother Joe not been killed in world war 2, Joe would have been president. So JPK sr was was grooming presidents with all the fakery and visousness that implies. We don't need anyone from that gene pool in office ever again. Oh and by the way johnmkelly, I like your Irish solidarity, but the evidence is too overwhelming that JFK was a fraud in every way. And the expression you were trying to remember was "guns vs. butter" not "war vs. butter) just fyi.

The biggest problem with spending "cuts" (and both parties do it) is that they don't exist. In politcal speak, and please check this out for yourselves, a cut is not an actual reduction in spending. It is a reduction in the proposed increase. So, for example, the Dems want the Department of Agriculture to get 10 million more next year than this fiscal year, the Republicans respond by saying "no the Department of Agriculture will only get a 5 million increase in the next fiscal year". Both parties define this as a "cut". When, in fact, more money is actually being spent. That is why government keeps growing. Real cuts would be, say, eliminating altogether the Department of Education. None of our "leaders" would even consider it. Try using that form of "cut" for your household and see how long you stay solvent. There are never any real "cuts" in D.C. parlance. I am not making this up, as unbelievable as it sounds that is how congress defines a cut.

Big Hollywood : Whoopi Gets Facts Wrong in Bizarre Racial Rant Against Michele Bachmann

"The View" of what exactly? Four broads emoting, talking over each other, unable to cite facts and use logic. I tried to watch the show once. I watched about 15 minutes and realized they have nothing to say, are not intelligent in the least, and, as noted, emote rather than think. Who, I wonder, actually watches the show regularly?
