Let's stop beating around this Bush »

Posted by: populist 2 years, 9 months ago

If Americans want change, and they really mean it, they must force it at the local and state level, and forget about the people they've sent to the Capitol in D.C. It's the small towns and big cities that need to make declarations rebuking America's foreign policy and its byproduct: war, war and more war...

    the only way we're going to defeat these desposts is in our states and our communities - not by begging some connected politicians in washington to oppose what's going on.

        Again. Where is The Sound of Reason? "I say we boycott paying our Federal and State taxes." Ok Sound. You start first. What is the E-mail address in your Federal Prison?

          I believe most liberal democrats would have had their fingers chopped off before they voted for Bush, so pray tell, just how did he get into office? Talk about Zombies. Unfortunately, you post proves an error in your moniker.

            Liberal's need to just sit back, shut up, and stick to supporting groups like the ACLU who will be wiped out sooner or later.

              These Zombies are the same Zombies in Germany and Japan before WW2, they were brainwashed by their corrupted goverments, they sit by and watch Hitler and Hirohito invaded other countries, look at what happenned to them????

              After all, they're only using religion and US flag to cover up their crimes just like Ted Haggard and Mark Foley did...

                      This is actually quite true. If Americans really want change then do it at the local level (but don't forget about those you do sent to washington).

                      Personal opinion on Bush: Wack

                      On the war... I don't like how he hand;ed it... I don't like how the Demacrats are handling it either. Fake resolutions? What the... the reality is (and for some reason they just won't say it... or haven't figured it out) is that if we pull out and iraq collapses, don't blame Bush, fix it. Why? We will have no choice. Al Queda will take over and so will Iran.

                      What is funny about all this war stuff is that no one seems to be following any sort of logic. A 6-12 month pull out won't work, staying in can work but it will be 12 years later... and if you pull out what is the plan if it doesn't work?

                        It is easier to whine about the politicians in Washington. They are a million miles away from you both physically and emotionally. Therefore you have absolutely no chance to interact with them or hold them accountable. After all, they are so far away, nobody would expect you to do anything about them. You can just bi*ch and moan all day about stuff.

                        But local governments are accessable and now people CAN interact with them, but NO, that would take effort, involvement, and committment and we will have none of that!

                          I want the Hat Party. Everyone who thinks they are qualified for what is now an elective office puts their name in a hat after they pass a basic math test, an English literacy test and provide proof that they were born here and are not convicted felons. Then every two years, we pull names from the hat. Once your name has been pulled, it can never be put in the hat again.

                          The Hat Party will eliminate all TV campaign ads, false promises, mudslinging and all that campaign literature smeared with untruth that they use to defile your mailbox.

                          The current bunch, both legislative and executive branches are not worth a plug nickel all together. They argue amongst themselves and are so busy with politics they seldom have time for the business of the people which is why they are they in the first dang place.

                          Impeach the whole bloody lot of 'em, I say!!!

                            Populist may be more dangerous than we think. These people have so much pent up anger against authority, the government and society in general, I think they have lost it. I would not be surprised if they do not already have a Tim McVey in their camps. The Greenie side of their movement already burns car dealerships, forestry equipment, rail bridges, research facilities and no telling what else. It is not much of a jump to target people. Maximum security confinement is the only thing left to slow them down. Anarchy cannot be permitted for even one second.

                                Careful dude. There are some who would take your comment seriously. (including The Secret Service.) I hope you were merely making a poor attempt to communicate your dislike of the Executive branch.

                                            I have just thought how far the people opposing the war will be pushed before they take action. More than half the country opposes this war so the President should listen to the people.

                                            But he does not, not even a second thought enters his mind when sending more troops or keeping them in Iraq longer than any human can take without giving up their life in America. Congress needs to stop the war at all costs now, no more little by little because the President will not compromise so then the people should not. This President reminds me of a King.
