On The Death of Bin Laden

Now I lay me down to sleep while people cheer in the streets like creeps
Of course I love and respect our troops but wonder why they get treated like poop
Having to buy body armor-on their fifth deployment, while people fetishize them- a video game for their enjoyment
All those dead Americans-Iraqis and Afghans too, will the War on Terror ever be through
Ten years gone by-trillions of dollars spent, while ordinary Americans can’t even pay their rent
All this vengeance and all this hate, what have we accomplished, what is our fate?
Don’t feel any safer, we worry more than ever, while the politicians posture and try to be clever
The rest of the World wonders just what to say and thinks to themselves how our country lost it’s way
But I’m a true Patriot and so I ask questions, our Founders would demand this, that we learn our lessons

Barack Obama, People "Who aren't Into Politics"Being a Liberal

“But if by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”

TullycastThe Bizarre and Dangerous World of Shields and Brooks
District of Dunces, Shields and Brooks
What in God’s Name are they prattling on about?
Jibberdy-jab squiggly squad political commentary signifying nothing.
The GOP spends #trillions on Wars and TARP and these Bozos in Washington are just so …turned on by the thought of cutting Social Security and assorted Entitlements./
This Austerity Fetish in D.C. is Hi-larious…
I might have to call Mr. Shields again and plead with him to clear the cobwebs…
Painful…

JUDY WOODRUFF: And to the analysis of Shields and Brooks. That’s syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks. Welcome, gentlemen.
MARK SHIELDS: Thank you.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Good to have you back this Friday.
So, David, Congress back in session this week. We have met these 100 or so new members of the House and the Senate. Any particular impressions of them so far?
DAVID BROOKS: A lot of seminars for them. They’re like little ducks, from one seminar to another. And I guess they learn a lot, learn the rules, get to see the buildings, where the restrooms are.
One of the things that struck me is that Mitch McConnell in the Senate could have said, we want you Democrats to take all the tough stuff and get it over with, so we don’t have to deal with it in January. But, on the contrary, the Republicans are saying, no, we’re going to stop some of the budget things and we want to deal with it in January.
Reason? Reason? Let Me Guess-You Sorta' Dig Greg Gutfeld and Red Eye TV and Think He's Sometimes Funny
Broadcatching, Libertarianism
“FOX News sucks, MSNBC sucks. Reason offers the best news coverage”
There you have it folks: The comment above by @pharmmajor from the Huffington Post represents EXACTLY what the problem is.
Reason? Reason Magazine?
Let me guess-you dig Greg Gutfeld and Red Eye TV and think he’s sometimes funny.
Where are you so I can punch you in the nose?
Reason? What a bunch of toe-sucking douchenozzles of the first order.
Libertarians are Dems who think they listen to cooler music.
I’m not saying “pick a side” because god forbid, that would be like, so not cool- so I’ll say this- just stay out of the way and invent something that will help the planet. Blog about the IPAD or something..
Politics is who picks up your shitty garbage and educates your 5 yr. old and paves your street. So, either get on one of the buses or keep your small thoughts outta here…

New Leaked Report About Iraq War Shows 15,000 More Civilian Deaths ~ That's About Five 9/11's ~ Good On Us!!

Iraq war logs: secret files show how US ignored torture
• Massive leak reveals serial detainee abuse
• 15,000 unknown civilian deaths in war
• Full coverage of the Iraq war logs
A grim picture of the US and Britain’s legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes.
Almost 400,000 secret US army field reports have been passed to the Guardian and a number of other international media organisations via the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.
The electronic archive is believed to emanate from the same dissident US army intelligence analyst who earlier this year is alleged to have leaked a smaller tranche of 90,000 logs chronicling bloody encounters and civilian killings in the Afghan war.
The new logs detail how:
• US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and even murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and normally unpunished.
• A US helicopter gunship involved in a notorious Baghdad incident had previously killed Iraqi insurgents after they tried to surrender.
• More than 15,000 civilians died in previously unknown incidents. US and UK officials have insisted that no official record of civilian casualties exists but the logs record 66,081 non-combatant deaths out of a total of 109,000 fatalities.
The numerous reports of detainee abuse, often supported by medical evidence, describe prisoners shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles, and subjected to whipping, punching, kicking or electric shocks. Six reports end with a detainee’s apparent death.
As recently as December the Americans were passed a video apparently showing Iraqi army officers executing a prisoner in Tal Afar, northern Iraq. The log states: “The footage shows approximately 12 Iraqi army soldiers. Ten IA soldiers were talking to one another while two soldiers held the detainee. The detainee had his hands bound … The footage shows the IA soldiers moving the detainee into the street, pushing him to the ground, punching him and shooting him.”
