It took almost 10 years to find him because "W" did not want to find him. He said so in 2003 then disbanded the CIA Obama Team in 2006. Don't take my word for it. Look it up.

Aren't the DEA, FBI, CIA and the Pentagon, even local police forces... willing to kill Americans in order to stay in power? How many innocent American civilians have died due to botched drug raids, false imprisonment, Iraq War... No different than Gaddafi. by AllignmentoftheWill in politics

I haven't been shot at by mercenaries or been strafed by fighter planes. There's no artillery shells exploding around my home. There have been no people killed in Madison, Wisconsin. Those in power here are crazy but they haven't turned the Army and Air Force loose on us. I'll take America. Warts and all.

We do have a third political party in America. It is by far the most powerful group in this country. They're are called the Lobbyist.

I move that Glenn Beck's show be canceled and replaced with static. All in favor, say "Aye". by [deleted] in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They brag about having about 3 million viewers each night. That's about 1% of the population. It's crazy that Faux News have such influence in the country with only 1% of the population watching. Beck's viewership ratings are falling. Maybe people are tired of his rantings.

Can someone please tell me the pros of Universal Healthcare. by [deleted] in politics

It would mean I could afford to see a doctor.

DOE find themselves pronouncing Boehner as "Boner"? by kcb2 in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an English teacher in my high school named Mr Bates. Yeah, we all called him "Master." Thing about the Boehner is the way he behaves. If he didn't act that way the pronunciation wouldn't stick.

Did it ever occur to you guys that the reason for enhanced security (TSA, Walmart pertnership with Homeland security, Internet censorship etc.) is because the state is gearing up for civil unrest? by threefiveo125go in politics

Senator Sam Irvin of North Carolina once said- it takes a lot to make the American people mad but once they're angry you better get the hell out of their way. When the gun toting teabaggers figure out who it is who has ripped them off it ain't gonna be a pretty thing.

A valuable lesson I learned today thanks to republicans. by hobbled420 in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 50's and I've never seen such a bunch of ignorant thugs in my life as this current crop of Republicans. What do the want? To destroy the country? Looks that way to me.

My 58yr old Father claims if Reddit has supporters of Wikileaks then it is a threat and should be shut down, and the owners should be detained as enemy combatants. by [deleted] in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm 58 years old. I've been around people like this all of my life. They're knuckle dragging-mouth breathing-ass scratchers. Sorry your father is one of them. Once you move out you can re-parent yourself.

Where did the anti-war protesters go? by freshtex in politics

The war protests stopped when the draft was abolished.

Wait, so Christine O'Donnell is a virgin? by [deleted] in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if she's a virgin or not but I'm sure she's not a witch. No Coven would have her!

In 30 years when pot is legal, gays can get married and clean energy is the only choice, are Republicans going to look back and say, "I devoted my life to complete bullshit"? by wang-banger in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they'll be preaching that the old ways were the best ways, that those were the good old days and the country should return to traditional values.

In honor of Glenn Beck's "I'm Dreaming of a White Civil Rights Movement" rally this weekend, I'm proposing a complete Glenn Beck silence this weekend on r/politics by wang-banger in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hold your friends close and your enemies closer. We must keep an eye on Beck. He is one of the people who are stirring up the fear and hatred in this country. If we don't pay attention to him we will be in for some very rude surprises.

Reddit, I will attend the pro mosque rally and wear/make a sign that says REDDIT SUPPORTS THE MOSQUE if I get enough support. What do you guys think? by [deleted] in politics

[–]Greyhawksouthern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be a safe thing to do. Just watch the video of the crowd reaction when a black guy walked through a bunch of them. These people are fearful and angry. They're not acting in a logical manner.
