  1. Right, government spends alot of money but where it comes to rest is who should be railed at.

  2. Dismantle the Federal Reserve, put term limits on congress. Have elections every two years instead of 4. Limit campaign contributions

    Use a consumption tax, remove the income tax. Our country would thrive.

  3. Our US leaders have been waging undeclared wars against virtually all brown skinned people under the threat of terrorism. Terrorism is a purposely vague term used to box in any one that doesn't bend over and submit to the agenda of a few in power. Our CIA created the bin laden monster, at first he was our ally against the soviets and than put out a hit on him and miss... oops

    We've made and broken so many dirty deals that our good will is tainted. If you get off of the US propaganda news networks you realize the actions of the US are nothing to be proud of.

    In the art of war we send unmanned drones blowing up schools. oops. sorry. Our soldiers are in air conditioned hangars in new mexico dropping bombs and kill innocent civilians around the world. Than we have the audacity to cry foul that the terrorists are not fighting by our rules... wtf?

    Now picture being just a simple store owner in the middle east. You have lived through watching your parents, siblings, wife and children get killed in US led actions and for reasons you can not comprehend or believe. Your business and home have been destroyed and you are both mentally and physically damaged. You really don't have much reason to live other than to extract revenge.

    I'd estimate we are responsible for damaging a few million brown skinned folks and these folks don't believe in any justice system other than eye for an eye vengeance...

    Unfortunately, there is no turning back now... 50 years of racial integration has been destroyed. We're stuck in a slow drawn out fight to the death.

  5. You can? Wow, why didn't we try that in the first place? I'm sure they're very reasonable people if we just sit down and negotiate with them...

  6. This is a seriously dumb post. A government attacks it's own people while a terrorist attacks other governments people? Do you not read the news? Are you aware of the concept of a suicide bomber?

  7. ^WIN. Especially the consumption tax and term limits on Congress, that alone would solve 99% of our (US) problems.

    Also, we shouldn't call it the War on Terror, but the War on RADICAL ISLAM, cause that is exactly what it is.

    If you are a knowledgable person you know that it is smoking that causes cancer. But the are people in the world who think that lung cancer causes smoking cigarettes.

    If you are a knowledgable person you know that it's US military and secret service actions that has radicalized Islam since 1947. But there are people in the world who think that US wages wars now against Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa because Islam is radical.

    If you are a logical person you know that in order to bring Islam to its pre-1947 state you must cut the primary cause of Islam radicalization, i.e. American foreign (and therefore military) policy in the region. And the policy has not been ''bring democracy in ME'' as you might have been misinformed by FOX or CNN. The policy has been ''destroy democracy''.

    There would have been no 9/11 if your foreign policy had been different:

    There would not have been the crotch bomber if the US had not aided local oppresive regime in fighting against pro-democratic opposition in Yemen: http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=17402

    In fact the US is not fighting against radical Islam. US is fighting against democracy and liberties, which of course radicalizes Muslims.

    And then radicalized Muslims are sold in the US media as the reason for US interventions.

    And these interventions radicalize Muslims even further.

    Vicious circle.
