Do I like that some idiots drive hummers? NO, but the statement that we in the us or humanity caused this or any other natural disaster is stupid.
I would like to see tax on all autos that are not necessary to a business that get under 12 mpg taxed at least 1k a year for a fed, lic plate surcharge.
I break with Limbaugh in that taxing the rich is the way to make the short fall and help the social eco. poor.
Limbaugh [which I agree with on the military and other matters] once said that we in the us should take all the us citz. [325 million?] and divide the national debt by that number and then charge every one that amount, pay their fair share. Well I think it came out to some where in the amount of 3250 per us citz. That does not mean to much to Limbaugh with a 100 mill. $ contract. but to the single mom down the street that is raising a kid on 12k a year, it is the diff. between living with enough of the necessary items one needs to live and having to cut back on the necessities.
We need a strong military, and we need to live by the constitution and bill of rights, including the ones we do not agree with, the one I see bashed all the time is the second amendment, the liberal press loves to trumpet the first, but then wants to remove the second. You can not pick and choose what you like and do not like in the constitution, other wise you will will take the chance that one day some one will change the constitution to exclude women voting, civil rights, ect.
The us has always been [in the latter part of this last century] a target for those that are less fortunate [through their own mismanagement of their countries affairs]
Lets take France, every time France does not get what they want the sit a cry like a baby, Armstrong wins and they cry that he takes drugs, London wins the Olympics and they cry that it was fixed. Remember when Omar was bombing planes and sending out terrorists, and Regan wanted to send him a message? old France said you can not fly those f4s over our air space, good thing Regan said well, we will go around you fucked up air space and refuel and now Omar is at least on a short chain, These people are raised in a radical religion, one that in the Koran says that if those who do not convert to Islam shall be put to the sword, only now they translate sword to box cutters and c4.
And then some say we have no right to go to war. bull shit, they are nothing more than pathetic pacifists, Remember you history, when chamberlain gave Hitler the chek republic, He came back to England holding the treaty, and said we have peace. Hitler promised he would stop his march across Europe.
When Hitler was asked about this, he said, He [chamberlin] has a pc. of paper, I have the chek republic,
This is what happens when you sit back and try to talk your way out of aggression, aggressors only understand force, violence, do you think, that we could have just sat down with the Taliban and said, we want to understand you situation, we want diversity, and multicultural ideas, no they would have cut your fucking head off and shit down your neck.
After the war it took many years to change the thinking of the average German and jap, but now we fight them on the economic battle field instead of the jungles and hedge row's.
So it is because of this standing up for ourselves that countries like France hates us, instead of trying to bring themselves up to our level they try to tear us down to theirs.
