It was a slip of the tongue where he let his guard down for a second and actually told a rare truth about his plans. He had a few other when the TOTUS wasn’t around. “Bankrupting the coal industry”, “flawed Constitution”, “capital gains taxes are about fairness”, “bitter clingers”, “honey”, “average white person”, etc.

Such moments are the verbal equivalents of micro-facial movements which liars make that show their real emotion.

And those moments plus his long history of radical associations are the only true insights into his diseased mind that we have.

But first LC (in case you are checking up on the responses to you) : Read the Constitution (you can get a free pocket copy at Heritage.org) : Defense of the Nation is the only Constitutionally mandated expense!! Woohoo – Big Surprise. Cry all you want about Education, food, shelter and whatever for whomever – those are not mandated by the Constitution.

And it is not all Boooshes fault – as any military action and the funding to do it – is voted on and approved in Congress!

Lastly – I’ve always thought that the two prong war (Iraq & Afghanistan) had only a little to do with Iraq & Afghanistan but more to contain the financial and ideological backer of the GWOT – Iran – imagine how incensed they became when they realized in March of 2003 – they had the best damn fighting force in the World to the West and to the East of them. . .

However in American Thinker (Why I’m Thankful for George W. Bush) is this telling line from General Tommy Franks -
“We will close with and engage the enemy at a time and place of our choosing.”

Do you get it? Instead of invading 15 countries of the World and ferreting out al-Qaeda operatives – and wasting hundreds of thousands of American and innocent foreign lives – crafty ole’ bumblin’ stumblin’ boooshe and his military bots – brought the fight to them on their terms

Either way – to contain Iran or to bring the jihadists to Iraq – we freed millions from Saddam’s dictatorship, took out Saddam, his sons and most of the regime leadership – captured (again) the Leader of the Achille Lauro hijacking (which killed one American – Leon Klinghoffer ) – Abu Abbas – not to mention all the other assorted terrorists, insurgents and foreign political operatives. Which for me is well worth the ‘expense’ – so much more so than – ACORN or Fannie & Freddie – which have destroyed the American political/election process and the American economy.

“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds…[we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers… And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for[ another]… till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery… And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.

- Thomas Jefferson

And this speech is GP rated compared Obama’s vulgar obscenities, racist mockery, and condescending remarks towards both the blacks and whites in his Abomination of Hope. Obama can’t complain with worse vulgar discriptions and stereo-typing of every race, and decent Americans that felt above.

Post more. The more thoughtful people who post – the more likely we are to achieve those rational discussions.
(my .03 – this is starting to cost me!)

My only point was that I truely believe we are better than that. I enjoy a robust debate, and would like to hear some. Obviously huffpo is not the place for them.

That being said I did not mean to imply that we need the comments here filled up with the kind of hate spewed on liberal blogs. If I wanted to hear what a ignorant white southerner I am I wouldn’t come here at all.

Colonel, what’s wrong with Schlumberger? I know they compete with Haliburton in the oilfield services business, but they don’t do military engineering and construction like KBR. However, you seem to be implying that there is something else wrong with Schlumberger? Or am I misreading you? Got a personal reason for asking. Thanks.
