Bed-wetter Nation

Well-known member
George Bush and conservative rule have done something to this country:

Turned us into a nation of bed-wetters, hand-wringers, and diaper-poopers.

How is it, that the a visiting head of State from Iran turn people like Glenn Beck, Iraq War fans, and George Bush voters into quivering masses of outraged and fearful poseurs?

Nikita Krushev visited here in 1959, and was considered the Dictator of the most evil and powerful regime on the planet. Ike met with him, treated him politely, opened doors for him, and gave him a ride in his limosine. The leaders of authoritarian nations have visited this country routinely. Including some of our good buddies.

The president from Iran visits here, and all hell breaks loose. Fox News reporters poop their pants. Rush Limbaugh has to O.D. on oxycontin just to calm down. Regardless of how kooky the president of Iran is, he is the representative of an important nation of 70 million people. Those people see how we treat him, and it is in fact (for many of them) it is a statement of how we treat and consider them.

Wetting your bed because of a self-righteous sense of injustice is still wetting your bed. Get a grip, son!

No, the government of Iran is not good. It used to have better prospects until we invaded the nation next door, blew the notion of a new Crusade up into parade float dimensions and, thus, made moderate and progressive Muslims look bad in their own nations. We probably set the cause of progress for Iran back ten or twenty years.

Regardless, the government of Ian is not good. Okay, now what? Most governments aren't any damned good. What are you proposing we do about it? Refusing to listen to someone is not only counterproductive but also embarrassingly childish.

We can't invade Iran, for both moral and practical reasons. We shouldn't have invaded Iraq; how often will we have to be burned before we learn the lesson?
 
The problem with America is Americans, not George Bush. However, Bush will forever be a historical reminder of how naive and conditioned the American people are. In many ways we have the minds of children, not a mature intellectual people.

Like chldren, fear is used to control the behavior of Americans. We're scared of every damn thing. Small nation thousands of miles away stike fear in the hearts of the cowboys. Even protected by more nuclear bombs that we could ever use, we still cower and shiver in fear whenever we're told to.

A nation of scary people.

Intellectualism has been replaced with conditioning. Conditioned o believe that comparing someone to Che' Guevara is supposed to be insulting. Conditioned to believe that courage can only be found on the trigger end of a gun.

But the people voted for gore, the election was stolen, remember?

What you call intellectualism is pure statism and elitism, not much different than the neocons you feel in opposition to.

When you were a littler kid than you are now, I'll bet you played around with a Dymo-labeler (TM) a lot, didn't you? You just love slappin' labels on things. :rolleyes:

"Elitist" is a pretty funny charge, coming from someone who wants to stamp out all cultures other than his own lily white, artificial and tasteless Wonder branded way of life. Trouble is, June, that the rest of the world isn't going to remain content with working in your factories for your benefit. I know it's kind of rough on your frail little ego but you're just going to have to get used to it.

GWB is no conservative and neither are his clan of followers... or his he the follower and they the leaders? I think it is the later, but regardless, neither of them are conservative in any sense of the imagination.

Warren said and maybe he was insinuating that Cypress is a bit whiny as well, "Che would probably tell Cypress to stop bitching already and go start a Revolution." :tongout: I guess Cypress is a red-blooded American too.

Regardless of whether or not GWB and crew are conservative, I would agree that they have had an adverse effect on the American Backbone.

You have your head on backwards, stooge. It's you globalist assmunches who want to stamp out all cultures and all loyalties which do not empower the global elitists.

And it's you world bank advocates who insist all nations go into debt they can never repay without subjugating their people to multinational corporations.

Please learn to think properly, you functional illiterate.
 
Interesting point, I think it has to have something to do with media spin and the fact our leaders are such a bunch of pansies today. Probably the toughest thing Rush or W did was wonder if their drug delivery was late. Cheney was scared most that his deferments didn't go through. Without experience in life you become a pussy as noted in a few of the conservative replies above. Ike had those experiences and was the last genuine liberal in the republican pantheon of mostly pussies.
 
Whatever..........

How I wish we could find an Ike, we so need on right now.

he was a great General and President...see the Eisenhower/Kennedy papers re;The VN war...a real eye opener! It puts the anti-war critics to shame..thats why they always avoid these papers!
 
Yes Ike was but Johnson and Nixon get the real credit for the mess it turned into.

Johnson did some good things for the country but I never really much liked his phoney ass.
 
This is my kind of republican


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower

Dynamic Conservatism
Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower preached a doctrine of Dynamic Conservatism.

Although he maintained a conservative economic policy, he continued all the major New Deal programs still in operation, especially Social Security. He expanded its programs and rolled them into a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, while extending benefits to an additional 10 million workers. His cabinet, consisting of several corporate executives and one labor leader, was dubbed by one journalist, "Eight millionaires and a plumber."

Eisenhower was extremely popular, winning his second term in 1956 with 457 of 531 votes in the Electoral College, and 57.6% of the popular vote.


[edit] Eisenhower Doctrine
After the Suez Crisis, the United States became the protector of most Western interests in the Middle East. As a result, Eisenhower proclaimed the "Eisenhower Doctrine" in January 1957. In relation to the Middle East, the U.S. would be "prepared to use armed force...[to counter] aggression from any country controlled by international communism." On July 15, 1958, he sent just under 15,000 soldiers to Lebanon (a combined force of Army and Marine Corps) as part of Operation Blue Bat, a non-combat peace keeping mission to stabilize the pro-Western government. They left in the following October.

In addition, Eisenhower explored the option of supporting the French colonial forces in Vietnam who were fighting an independence insurrection there. However, Chief of Staff Matthew Ridgway dissuaded the President from intervening by presenting a comprehensive estimate of the massive military deployment that would be necessary.


[edit] Civil Rights
Eisenhower supported the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka U.S. Supreme Court decision, in which segregated ("separate but equal") schools were ruled to be unconstitutional. The very next day he told District of Columbia officials to make Washington a model for the rest of the country in integrating black and white public school children.[21] His critics complained Eisenhower was never enthusiastic about civil rights, but he did propose to Congress the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960 and signed those acts into law, although both Acts were very weak and added little to the total electorate. Nonetheless, they constituted the first significant civil rights acts since the 1870s.

The "Little Rock Nine" incident of 1957 involved state refusal to honor a federal court order to integrate the schools. Eisenhower placed the Arkansas National Guard under federal control and sent Army troops to escort nine black students into an all-white public school; this integration did not occur without violence, and Eisenhower and Arkansas governor Orval Faubus engaged in tense arguments.

agree on...Johnson did F-up the war in VN...he turned his back on Westmorerland...and took the CS way out...Nixon I have not a problem with...he supported the Generals and troops...albeit he was a little on the wacky side! Did you read the Eisenhower /Kennedy papers re: VN...IKe and JFK were in full support of aiding the South Vietnamese with their request for help...of which Ike and JFK responded with military as well as financial help!
