So much for freedom and democracy!
We heard all about the rigging and discounting of large numbers of votes in the previous election but not so much this time. I didn't say an overwhelming majority, a difference of one could give a majority.
Still I'm sure all the bible belters and warmongers are more than happy to hear about his personal messages from "The Almighty" after all it justifies their stupidity.
Cheers Trev. :p
Was sippin' some espresso this mornin' when I surfed The Onion.
Found some real hope from the hilarious Onion writers.
And finally some news that might be true:
2% (That's right: TWO PERCENT) of African-Americans approve of bush in the United States.
2%.
That's a rather LOW percentage, wouldn't you say?
Katrina's response has driven Bush's reputation into the thick New Orleans mud.
Good.
I want him on his knees before the American people, weeping like that Clown of Christianity Jimmy Swaggart did when he "sinned" with the hooker.
You've sinned worse than any biblebot who beeps "REPENT!"
Satan doesn't live in the White House.
He lives on a ranch in Crawford Texas.

And does anybody else notice that Laura Bush looks like The Joker from Batman?
She looks like her face will break whenever she smiles.
Her eyes have that "I'm in over my head but I delude myself into believing I'm somebody" look.
Like Doctorow said, if you STUDY him (Bush) you will see into his hollow soul. You can look deep into his eyes and actually see the corruption bubbling behind.
Everytime I see his smug face I wanna smash something.
But as rage-inducing his visage is, Cheney's is even more enraging.
He's got the same psychopathic temperament as John Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer.
An unsettling aura exudes from the bald tub-of-shit VP.
He's one of those "New Unhappy Lords" that G.K. Chesterton wrote about, one of those rich, vapid soulless animals that do not live life for anybody. Only themselves.
He was a CEO before he was vice-President.
Nobody takes this into account?
Nobody is shining a huge spotlight on this fact?
Now I'm no Einstein, but I do know that you can't run a campaign for President of the United States unless you've got money coming out your ass.
Face it- you do not enter politics (in the U.S.) unless you can mount a massively expensive campaign to market yourself to the peeps.
CEO?
You might have access to some funds or have enough in your coffers.
Bush?
He's the most fortunate son to ever become President.
Hey anduril- if you're reading this I want you to know that I now know why you liked to crank up CCR's "Fortunate Son"- it wasn't because the song kicks ass, it was because it reflects your belief in Bush. You missed the point of that song.
"I ain't no Senator's Son"- you know what that MEANS?!
It means that a man won't go to war if he's "priviledged", and Bush is the textbook definition of "priviledged". Eat that you posturing, phony goof. You take the word "hypocritical" and give it mythic status. You're a walking contradiction Isaiah, and I take great comfort in knowing that you struggle with your faith.
Bush has been shitting money and silver spoons since he said his first word (oil).
Put Bush and Cheney's "skills" together and you got your government, your war and your poverty.
Why don't these guys ever point out the gaps between the rich and the poor?
Because they are architects of it: it's just business.
Well if your government has taken the position of "it's just business", then I suggest you take a position of your own.
I envision myself standing over the bulky corpse of Dickhead Cheney, bending over and slowly removing his glasses from his fat face.
I stand back up, crumple them in my hand and throw them as far as I can.
Then just like Bunny in Platoon I take the butt of my still warm rifle and start some fast head smashing until you can't recognize this sloth of a cadaver.
Steam is still rising from his bullet wounds...
Bush is still alive, crawling on the ground about 20 feet away, shouting for Laura to bring him some orange juice and freedom fries.
But Laura was dispatched in the east Wing, with a crossbow arrow. She shrieked like a gay man finding out that they cancelled "Queer Eye".
I knelt down beside her, her eyes had a petrified look.
I pulled out my Rambo knife and held the blade directly above her heart. I gently lowered it until it was piercing her flower-print blouse, then her breastbone.
She's gasping, trying to yell, but I say "shhhhh..." just like that German in Saving Private Ryan.
I say "It'll all be over soon- run to the light Laura, but God will only allow you to do so in order make sure you say Hi to Casey Sheehan and the 2000 other soldiers your husband sent to die, among others (Katrina, 9/11, innocent death row inmates, you know, the usual)- as soon as you do, you'll be hopping into this mineshaft car to Hell. Scott Peterson and O.J. will be your escorts. Come on, O.J. smile- Laura likes you because you're a black WHO KILLED 2 WHITES- you're in her good books! Let's be friends".
Just like Jackie-Boy in Sin City:
Outta nowhere!
For no reason at all!
I'd make Dog Day Afternoon look like a bake sale.
"The FBI, CIA and combined miltary forces of 6 surrounding bases could not contain the wrath of a lone vigilante known simply as "Juliet".
77 dead government employees, the only surviving member of the Bush administration (Donald Rumsfeld) stumbled out of the White House gates with duct-tape around his head and a big black sign which read:
Mission Accomplished.
Like Anne Coulter, anduril doesn't like Bush's choice for the Supreme Court.
This shit is amazing.
Is it even remotely possible that even anduril and Anne Coulter can't drink the Kool-Aid anymore?
Are Republicans getting restless because Bush is delivering the same contempt to them as he does to everybody else?
Are you assholes finally clueing in on what Bush is all about?
Have you finally realized that you are complete morons for siding with this puppet failure of a human being?
Or will you just continue to be arrogant cunts, spewing and repeating Bush's lies?
The final shit-rain is upon us, and we're all paying for it.
Coulter is indignant about Bush's lying.
Can you believe this shit?
Since when did you get angry with Bush, Anne?
Since when did you wake up?
Since when did the bad karma that surrounded your empty skull
start giving you a painful headache?
Reactionary witch.
She's a reactionary witch, Pat Robertson is a Christian bitch.
Bill O'Reilly is a cancerous toad that should be brought behind the barn and the army of Bush supporters should be shipped to Dumb Camps, in and around Crawford Texas (there's great ranchlands down there apparently).
"The Dumb Camps" have Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson records spinning 24 hours a day as well as long-winded lectures by "the Archbishop of My God is Better Than Your God" (which includes complimentary Jesus Juice and bitchin' wafers), and don't forget the seminars on cultivating ignorance. (The one with Tucker Carlson and Jerry Falwell is a must-hear)
The only "sides" in this debate are "do you have a conscience" or "don't you".
You can't write off disasters like Katrina with "oh well".
If there were thousands and thousands of WHITES stranded there do you think that they would've waited a fucking week to get help?
No way Michaelangelo.
This President is a racist war criminal, a liar, a capitalist bigot and a former alcoholic cokehead.
FACT.
And he has power.
Over you and I.
Power that YOU gave him.
Why isn't America taking it back?
This is a test for all Americans now.
Is this your country?
Fuck Bush.
Throw him out- he's yours.
You elected him, you throw him out.
No?
OK.
Then you won't mind me ranting and raving for the next 38 months....
I'm Canadian, and I'm saying what i'm saying because I actually care more about the U.S. than my own country.
Does that sound strange?
I have my reasons.
Maybe we can chat about it over alcool and a spliff someday.
In the meantime, I retire.
I don't have another confirmation for this but it looks like MM is ready with his next.
This "time' in history is so very strange.
How do you explain this social and political climate?
How do you rationalize "society"?
Hunter Thompson gave a new name to the United States:
THE KINGDOM OF FEAR
And bubba, you better believe it's true.
I know it's all a state of mind for the most part but I'm sick and tired of being affected with "world events", with the "winds of change", with the concentrated B.S. that clogs our TV's, radios, computers, schools and newspapers.
Is there no place for a man or woman to toil away in their garden, whatever that garden may be?
Why is there so much strife, so much angst and FEAR?
Anybody got an answer?
The only thing I can come up with is that it's absolutely true that we have a built-in self-destruct system, ready to blow, no matter how prosperous or "good" our lives are.
Even if you still think this foul uncertain smog which hangs over our beautiful planet is due to TERRORISM and that the world began on September 11th, you gotta admit that this world is not a friendly place.
Never has been.
Kindness and peace and goodwill are the REAL dangers lurking in the shadows. Those are traps, illusions.
Come on, I mean look what happened to John Lennon.
A mastercraftsman songwriter.
One of the greatest musical talents to ever stroll the earth.
A poet. I can call John Lennon a poet.
A poet of the people.
And the man who took this legend from us sits in Attica, where he's been for almost 100 SEASONS. 24 years, fed very well and kept toasty warm by the United States Prison System, reading the fine volumes that rest on the tall prison library shelves, all on your taxpaying nickel, while great photogs like Mr. Benson take stark black and white art photos of Mr. Chapman smiling like the collossal jerk doofus he will eternally be.
He's kept in jail to protect us.
He's a gunman who's a little kookoo, they say.
He could kill again...
Why is he treated so well?
I have a theory.
Chapman is an American- from Hawaii apparently.
Lennon was a pain in Nixon's ass for a long time.
Nixon tried to have John deported back to England.
If you're an American, you apparently have the keys to the kingdom. Subconciously Americans have got it in their marrow that they are somehow superior to the rest of humanity.
That's the driving force of the U.S.A.
That supremely misguided idea that they are NUMBER 1 in EVERYTHING.
That's how Abu-Grahaib can happen.
That shit was textbook "American Mentality with an Army-twist"
HA HA, subhuman Iraqis! WE OWN YOU.
That's how John Lennon can be murdered near the stroke of midnight while his killer gets to relax in a well-monitored setting for the rest of his life.
I wonder why he's not on death row.
Is he?
Shouldn't that death-date have come and gone?
Yes it did: December 10th 1980.
In less than 24 hrs the authorities knew who they had and what he'd done.
Hell, minutes after the shooting, when a police cruiser arrived, Chapman was excitedly shrieking for the police not to "hurt him".
Coward.
It's so tragically sad that John was gunned down by a man so monumentally cowardly.
Don't extend any graces to anybody- the person standing next to you is probably a terrorist.
Where should my moral compass be?
Huh?
There is great hope, though:
If Michael Moore has got the celluloid that I think he does,
we might actually see Dubya impeached and thrown out on his ear like he should have been 5 years ago.
Bring The Pain Mike.
We're all ready to see this administration crumble.
Destroy it with the truth buddy.
Unload again.
You're stronger than when you made Fahrenheit.
What doesn't kill you...
Do it brother. I know you will.
Kill them with Selluloid.
The film is mightier than the pen.
The wrath, indeed...
This thread could turn out to be longer than oscar's "Longest Thread".
Let's see what's in the news today.
anduril and steveseitz (Mutt and Jeff are my pet names for them)
would give me a sound verbal thrashing for getting my news from MichaelMoore.com, but guess what?
He really reports the truth.
He ain't spinnin' nothin'. Not a fuckin' thing.
There's no reason to make shit up or distort- the truth is far more outrageous than anything he could make up or twist into
"the best propaganda since Riefenstahl"
Good one Steve: you must think you're the sharpest knife in the drawer, the keenest cat since Kafka.
I must politely, quietly rail against your views.
Tony Blair just got smacked by his own government for wanting to detain terror suspects for three months without laying a charge.
The peeps said fuck you: 28 days is the max, and like it said on Moore's website: "the terror suspects had no immediate comment".
Too much power. Too much control.
And the ones who have this power should be nowhere near government. They are not worthy to be chairmen of leadership.
They are psychos.
Not all may I add- I'd hate to blanket everybody :)
There are some supremely intelligent and compassionate people in government, but we never see or hear from them.
They are pushed aside by the ruthless, the bullies.
Cindy Sheehan has another new entry in her "THIS TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY" book:
http://www.michaelmoore.com/mustread/index.php?id=533
I love the old post anduril vomited from the Lounge "politicks" thread that said that I sounded like Osama.
You know what?
Osama is like Tim McVeigh (a guy who Gore Vidal wrote about):
He hates the United States government but he took matters into his own hands, killing scores of innocent people.
That ain't right. That don't wash.
You die for that, bitch.
And mcVeigh was put to death for it like he should have been.
But he and Osama have/had very valid points!
The points that anduril posted by Osama are bang-on.
Don't believe me? Fucking read it! Examine what he said there!
As Oliver Stone said: The Arabs have a point!
I love this shit.
I love this "war" we got now.
It gives me so much cause and resolve, so much concentrated cynicism and hellfire of mindset.
I feel like God sometimes.
And sometimes I feel like the most powerless person on earth.
But you know what?
At least I know the score.
Oh yeah, and the score is
2,110 dead soldiers
Countless injured or maimed
A debt that is in the billions (and grows every second)
A President who doesn't give a shit but says he does
A Vice-President whose SOUL is in it's last throes
Untold numbers of Iraqis dead (they are human beings- forget about "us" and "them" for 2 fucking seconds..)
And the complete, utter erosion of "the American Way", whatever it was...
No freedom. You're free, but not really free...
America is a punchline now.
The damage seems irreparable.
What kind of a person calling themselves a "patriot" would agree to surrender all of their rights?
Rights that were hard won by men and women who served in
REAL WARS FOR FUCKING FREEDOM?
I'll be standing at Victory Square tommorrow and remembering the real warriors and freedom fighters.
Sam Mendes is a great filmmaker, but I have to say that Jarhead has stripped all respect I had for him.
Why did you make this Sam?
Is this as topical as you can be?
If you had set it in today's Iraq with your sights aimed directly at Rumsfeld and Cheney, with soldiers not knowing what the fuck they're doing, you might have made a compelling movie.
There are elements in your film that resonate with me cinematically, but you've failed, Mr. M.
Your damn right you can't compete with Full Metal Jacket.
Kubrick wipes the floor with your semper fi failure of a movie.
Buy Matthew Modine's new book: Full Metal Jacket Diary.
It's made of metal, limited edition of 20,000 and it's the best book on the film ever to see print.
I saw it on the shelf at Chapters and nearly wet my Levis.
Hearing The Grand Master's M.O. on the set is what I live for.
True film buffs miss you a lot, Stanley.
Ho Ho
Michael Moore has a brilliant section on the main page of his website today which highlights 237 misleading things said by
jorge, Dickhead, Donny, Colin and Condi, the 5 merry pranksters of political FAILURE.
It's from "Iraq on the Record", and it's a damn good read.
Anyone supporting the war now is a sorry-ass bitch.
Bush and Cheney pout about "cutting and running", but the truth is (as Donahue said) we're cutting and running ANYWAY.
The States cut and ran from Vietnam out of sheer embarassment.
This war is far beyond mere embarassment.
www.michaelmoore.com
It's horrifyingly shameful.
And please check out this VERY interesting bit of Bush-Bashing
(actually they're just asking some key questions...)
If you were wondering about that big bulge on George's back during the first Kerry debate...
http://www.justabovesunset.com/id405.html
According to Amy Goodman on Democracy Now Bush's approval rating is 35% now. Of course we have the headline that Congress is saying, set a deadline for getting out of Iraq. He's finally in real trouble. But it's taken too long. Too many people have died.
In the UK it's like a repeat of the First World War, the latest news from Blair, the British troops may be pulled out of Iraq by Christmas (next year) if the Iraqi's can play like good little girls and boys.
Still it'll give em a rest before we free Iran (from their oil supplies).
Unfortunately Iraq stays in peoples memories about as long as the AIDS issue, unless it's front page news, it don't mean shit.
Cheers Trev.
I don't know if that is quite true in America right now about Iraq. I think it's more in people's minds than ever. Maybe the movie Jarhead will make people think more about it, Bush I's war.
Check out Mike's site today:
The White House released a statement about the man who called down Cheney and invoked the power of Michael Moore.
Mike responded.
Genius.
Absolutely genius.
Michael Moore has no fear.
You sad, pathetic Reich-Wing puppets.
The Kingdom is gonna fall hard, and it will be more beautiful than a sunset with your lover and a pipe full of kif.
Kill Whitey.
The Bush Years are coming to a sharp halt.
Cindy Sheehan's new letter to Barbara Bush is devastating.
This is what that SACK 'O SHIT said on Good Morning America on March 18, 2003:
Why should we hear about body bags and deaths?
I mean, IT'S NOT RELEVANT.
So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?
This is your president's MOM, America.
T-Shirts for stocking stuffers, anyone?
http://www.cafepress.com/shop/antibush
I like the "blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism" one. AT the time of Gulf War I, I made my own T-shirt for the Fourth of July: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." Samuel Johnson said that. Actually that comes from Boswell, no context given, from his Life of Johnson, dated 1775, but Ambrose Bierce wrote, “In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first.” I'm afraid that when I see "Support Our Troops" "ribbons" on the backs of cars on the freeway, I want to ram them! What they mean is, Support the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. Unless they have relatives who died over there they have no right to display such stuff, and in that case they should be out supporting Cindy Sheehan, not sticking magnets on their cars.
Amen to that.
The second page has a couple good ones, like
Wake me in 2008
(if there's anyone left alive)
I agree that the Kubrick-derivative parts are pretty poor stuff, but I believe that the last part of the movie has something unique and fresh to say to us. Please take a look at my thread on the movie and say what you have to say there, okay? I put some thought into that and I'd like some feedback.Quote:
Johann, you recently wrote:

There are elements in your film that resonate with me cinematically, but you've failed, Mr. M.
I don't think it's very often possible to make a fictional statement on film about the political events of the past three years that is going to have any artistic merit. You've got to have a little perspective and that's why it makes sense to make a movie about Gulf War I. As I say, though, David O. Russell's is a better and smarter movie. But it doesn't say what Mendes's does about that kind of warfare. Bellocchio just recently made a terrific movie about the Aldo Moro kidnapping, from the Seventies. Why? It was too close and too sensitive for Italians to make a dramatic movie from inside the events, from inside the kidnappers' apartment, till the past few years.
Here's my thread on Jarhead. The last part is the most important part, if you're in a hurry:
http://www.filmwurld.com/forums/show...&threadid=1565
The last part of your Jarhead review is greatness, Chris.
Thoreau is a guy who is looking more and more appealing to me.
As Hunter said: The only freedom people seek today is freedom from DUMBNESS.
With regards to Jarhead, I do wanna discuss it in more depth, but I am rushed for time at the moment.
Millions of dollars thrown on a Gulf War I film?
Millions more will be thrown on an Iraq war film.
Time ticks away..people are still dead.
Jarhead comes off as blatant.
But give me tonight to mull over the movie memories..
Thanks a lot for looking. I like that last part myself. Hope you'll have time to put in some of your priceless comments on "my" Jarhead thread later when you've got some moments....
Some words of inspiration, written over 136 years ago, can be directly applied to the Kingdom of Fear and it's king, the Goofy Child Cokehead, jorge Dumbya Bushevik of Teksas.

By the angry sun, the ones who do your work,
Take off your hats, all you rich people!

We are workers, King! WORKERS!
We're the ones
Made for the time to come, the New Day dawning,
Evil destroyed, Forever!
The Unknown may be terrible:
Still we will know it!
then onward, Brothers, ONWARD!
We sometimes dream a moving dream
Of living simply, fervently, without a word
of Evil spoken
No one, ever, could make us bend a knee!

Saw this poster and had to provide a link.
(It's been on the net for a while apparently)
http://www.guerillastickers.com/gulf_wars_poster.jpg
Hi.
I gotta get something off my chest.
Gotta clear my throat.
(and cock my machine gun)
This little post is borne of sheer anger. Rage. Indignation.
At Bush, his Oil War and ANDURIL.
Before anyone accuses me of pickin' fights, let me say that I'm way ahead of you. I anticipate just about every response I could get. I know exactly what I'm doing 95% of the time (the other 5% is unplanned or unaccounted for in my mental stocktaking).
That said, while I would love to have anduril visit us again and cast his "pearls" before us swine, I know what he'll say and how he'll say it. He's got his own way of distorting facts and "standing behind them".
He provides tons and tons of "facts", with big, beefy State-Approved hyperbole.
But he got himself into a war he can't finish.
JUST LIKE BUSH.
He absolutely cannot retract what he said here only a little over a year ago:
I will defend to the teeth the decision made by the Americans, the British and many other Coalition governments to liberate Iraq. It was the right decision to make then and it remains the right decision today
Glad you think that way Paco.
Because now, in late November 2005, you look like the biggest jackass ever for writing those wrong, wrong, wrong words.
I know exactly what he'll say here, if he had balls to reply:
I will defend to the teeth...
He got so invested in his comments back then that he seemed to etch them in stone: I. Will. Defend. to. the. TEETH.
He can't backpedal now, even after the complete and total exposure of Dubya & his admin as an evil pack of LIARS and THIEVES and WAR CRIMINALS.
Can't change gears. I don't forget what you said anduril.
I don't forget that you were so domineering in those fahrenheit threads. I WILL NEVER FORGET.
But YOU will. Hell, You do.
You don't like to dwell on things when you're wrong.
And who can blame you?
Who likes to be wrong?
But being as stubborn as Bush, "diggin' your heels in", that ain't the way to go, partner.
Own up to your failings (and Bush's).
Be a fucking MAN for once in your life!
But that will never happen.
It's not in you.
Well, you and Bushie can hug each other in heaven, right next to the Lord.
anduril's war commentary has dropped sharply in the last year.
His website hasn't had anything about Iraq on it since Nov.2, with a fluffy little link to a yankee tart named Kiwi's site that gives a piss-poorly written "analogy" for the reasons for the war.
Why aren't you bangin' that war drum anymore, soldier boy?
Why aren't you still cranking out ProBush propaganda?
Huh?
Oh, sorry. You are in school.
Oh, sorry. You are raising a child.
Oh, sorry. You have many many many many many many commitments that prevent you from updating.
You are performing your "higher calling".
Excuse after excuse is what I can expect from ANDY.
It's RUNDOWN TIME, Mr. Biblebot.
It's time you came clean about why you back Bush.
It's time you gave me the real reason for why you sided with this fucking war criminal.
I know you're not stupid.
I know you are very intelligent.
So ante up, doofus.
You CAN'T be this dumb or this blind or this much in denial.
YOU CAN'T.
Let's see if I'll just be hearing the sounds of silence like the ones I hear from Bush:
listening...
listening...
Ah, that's what I thought: You're a stubborn prick with no balls. GOD HELP YOU.
Is this like shooting fish in a barrel or what?
Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it Ken?
Another thing that annoys the hell outta me is Bush and company saying that the opponents of the war are harming troop morale.
Uh, hello...
Generals and officers are the ones who are supposed to keep the troops' spirits up, reminding them of the mission, inpiring them to "stay the course, forget about those hippie losers who say the war is evil", and keeping all "that negative shit" out of their minds.
Indeed, this is a fucking Army phrase:
OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND.
Are troops logging on to Mike Moore.com each night after a hard day of killin'?
Are they watching CNN every night and gettin' depressed?
If they are, I'm wondering how.
Shouldn't you be on the fuckin' front lines?
Or if you're "in the rear with the gear", then why the fuck are you watching TV or surfin' the net?
I don't give a flying fuck about troop morale, and I can say it because I WAS a fucking Infantry soldier for 5 fucking years!
AND, I'm sick of Bush and co. spinnin' the yarn that leaving Iraq would put America at even more risk of TERRORIST ACTS.
NEWSFLASH BITCHES:
North America has never been at more of risk of terrorism than NOW.
Shit, I'm fuckin' waiting for Nukes to drop any fuckin' time.
I'm waiting for the weapons man.
I'm just watching the wheels, as Johnny Lennon said, watching & waiting for the bombs to start rainin'.
Al-Queda?
We're sitting ducks for mass destruction.
Canada AND the U.S. Mexico too, what the hell let's include them too.
Bush is responsible for all of this shit.
Man, the year 2000 seems so long ago, when life seemed pretty damn good.
In the blink of an eye Bush has brought us so close to fucking
ARMAGEDDON that it's beyond merely baffling.
He's pissed away freedom, democracy, SECURITY- that's gone out the fucking window, folks. No way to deny it.
We'll never be safe. NEVER.
It's over. It really is.
I would love to not be typing these words, but the truth is so PIERCING and UNFLINCHING.
You can't deny it anymore.
These are the dark ages, and it's all because of corporate greed.
MONEY BEATS SOUL, EVERY TIME.
