As a life-long Buffalonian, that IS a buffalo.

I don't understand your post, but it sounds like a stampede of buffaloes.

AE writes: God told GW Bush to fight the terrorists in Afghanistan, and to end the Tyranny in Iraq. 1. Bush Jr./Blair invaded Iraq based on WMD lies. Before the invasion, Bush Jr/Blair didn't care if the Saddam tyranny stayed or not, as long as the supposed "WMD's threat" was removed. The absurd "human rights rationale" for invasion was brought in only AFTER the lies of WMD were confirmed and the alliance needed an excuse to stay. That mass-murdering war criminals Bush Jr. and Blair can joyfully skip around today without any fear of criminal investigation shows that america/britian to be populated by pretty immoral people. 2. That you think god cares about ending some tyranny and not others is comical:
3. Going off topic: danger, danger, danger, . . . yadda, yadda, yadda

I think it would be best for 99% of americans if it wasn't a cakewalk for ANY candidate. There are so many issues against Obama, it would be better for 99% of americans if an intelligent/ethical/law-abiding/empathetic candidate made Obama sweat. For example, since I am so against the repugnant military industrial complex, I would like someone LIKE Ron Paul (but not actually Ron Paul) to drill Obama about: budgets for cluster/phospherous bombs that kill children, money for hundreds of hegemonic military bases around the world (some of which are falsely called "embassies" by crack-meth-users), contracts for military aircraft that the Pentagon does not even want/use, etc. . . . (or how about platforms on human rights, or constitutional law, or MASSIVE corporate welfare give-aways, or torture at Guantanamo/Bagram, or . . .). Unfortunately, the corporate-media will successfully impede any such meaningful debate and give full attention to "people" like Palin, Romney, and Gingrich. (Yeaaah Fox "News" and the people who watch it, yeaaah.)

Perd writes: Had Americans invented socialism, we'd probably be living it right now. Because america's founding father's were 1%ers, that could not have happened. They argued whether a king of america should exist. They established that only the elite (landowners) could have a say in government. They stripped voting from women and blacks. Indeed, Madison speaking of governments and laws from which the elite would rule said:

History shows there are at least two successful ways to control the public. With violence/threat of violence or propaganda. America effectively uses propaganda. And lots of it. So indoctrinated to propaganda, americans are easily swayed by empty shiny objects.
quote: So what does this corporate "news" offer us? The current republican candidates are some of the most immoral and unintelligent freaks ever collected under a circus tent. However, I think the current republican candidates are, in fact, a brilliantly organized distraction to keep one of the greatest "republican" presidents in office. All hail the shiny objects. Look, they sparkle! (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) I found the following short article that does a better and more detailed job of communicating this idea than me. If you have a moment, read ALL of it. And, as we continue to mock out the republican candidates, know for sure that the 1%ers will get the last laugh on US. Again.

Well, I'm not married to the idea.
But, don't you ever lie awake and wonder how SO many people are supporting these republican candidates? Romney? Gingrich? Santorum? Bachman? Just a little twighlight zone-ish? C'mon, admit it, I won't tell anyone.

Well, unless you have a study about morons you can site, I think it better to not think so peremptorily.
My words "brilliantly organized" were not from the article I shared, but rather from myself. And even with yours, and especially Rahvin's, excellent replies, I am still unsure if it was a COMPLETE mistake to use "brilliantly organized". Because the morons ARE being helped: FIRSTLY:
quote: Page not found - Truthout Nearly all of the US news media is owned by several large corporations. There is very little independent media that is being reached by the public. Thus, if the corporations have a bias or agenda, you can be sure the public is not being fully served. For example:
quote: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/...040_sundaygoodman03.html Can you see why a "liberal" pro-peace show like Phil Donahue would have been canceled during the run up to the Iraqi war? Can you see how the public is not being fully served by the corporate media? SECONDLY: The US election debates ARE game shows. And they ARE farces:
quote: United States presidential debates - Wikipedia In the 1990s there were FORMAL Memorandum of Understanding contracts between the republican and democrat parties. This allowed both parties to avoid embarrassing items or platforms which they didn't want the public to be included.
quote: Memorandum of understanding - Wikipedia Since the commission has been taken over by the Democratic and Republican parties forming today's version of the CPD, no Memorandum_of_understanding contracts are needed today.
quote: Commission on Presidential Debates - Wikipedia Reread that last part again: "whose debates are sponsored by private contributions from foundations and "corporations." CORPORATIONS!!! Multi ZILLION dollar corporations are helping the morons. While I won't fully assert that morons are completely unable to successfully organize, but, in this case, they ARE being helped. And as Rahvin stated, in the end, it doesn't matter whether the republican or democrat candidate wins. It only matters that the elites or the 1%ers win. I get the feeling you didn't read the article I linked. It's a short read, here it is again: Page not found - Truthout

As a matter of fact, you've inspired me. To hell with all my children's cancer prevention research! I'm gonna do what I always dreamed about; write that sitcom about a sassy robot.

I didn't use a winking sarcastic emoticon. I DID use a smiley emoticon, intended ONLY to represent light-hearted banter. It seems my silly little joke fell flat. So sorry.

Afterwards, I usually do informal photo and video presentations of my trips. I did a formal presentation of the great primates I photographed in Uganda, Rwanda, and Borneo in a film fest in Kansas several years ago. That was fun, hope to do more like it in the future.
My avatar shows me in a desolate temple in Mrauk U, Myanmar (near the Bangladesh border). Kinda surprised no one ever asked me about my avatar before, . . . m'eh. Mrauk U - Wikipedia We're off topic.
