The Democrats now promise "A New Direction for America"

The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means, what?

Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Oil prices are down sharply. A new direction from there means, what?

Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Federal tax cuts are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what?

The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means. what?

Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what?

Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what?

Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what?

Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what?

Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what?

Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:


The economy to go South
Illegals to go North
Taxes to go Up
Employment to go Down
Terrorism to come In
Tax breaks to go Out
Social Security to go Away
Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone
But what the heck!

I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy P, Hillory C, John K, Edward K, Howard D, Harry R and Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U.S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same name and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan.

I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan.

Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep so much better at nights knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare.

Latest Email circulating thingy.
Now as with any of these, there is a grain of truth to it, but also many flaws. I just found it humorous.

Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:
...at least two more years of Republican whining :D

Speaking of this, have a article here and will take some text out:

What’s new:

This is the first time in 54 years that the
Democrats have recaptured both the US Senate and
the House of Representatives simultaneously. The
potential impacts on the US economy and financial
markets should not be minimized

Conclusions:

The Democrats are assuming power at
a point in time when the returns to capital are at
historical highs and the rewards to labor are at more
than 40-year lows. There is a good chance that the
pendulum of economic power could swing from capital
back to labor in the years ahead. Look for early
Congressional action on several fronts — increased
minimum wages, tax hikes on the oil industry, and
focus on the excesses of executive compensation. An
intensification of protectionist pressures is also a
distinct possibility.

Market implications:

The movie of the past six years
could start to run in reverse. The stock market could
be adversely affected by the earnings implications of
pro-labor shifts. Reflecting fears of protectionism and
mounting labor cost pressures, the bond market could
be hurt by perceived risks to inflation.

Risks:

Protectionism is the biggest risk.
Congressional intensification of China bashing could hit
the US dollar hard — especially if China responds by
reducing its appetite for dollar-denominated assets.

Yay CANT WAIT!!!!

Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here.


The most arrogant and contemptuous post I've read here from an American in some time:mad:

And you wonder why even your allies want nothing more to do with the US and the rest of the world hates you:rolleyes:

you did read the whole thing didn't you Rich? there is a disclaimer type at the bottom saying basically he did not write it and it is going around in email. he also said some fact a lot of flaws, he just posted it to be humorous.:)

Oh really, that was the plan all along?
So it wasn't the fictional WMD's, it was shifting the battleground from (potentially) USA to Iraq?

The night those first bombs dropped(remember "Shock and Awe" Cool huh!) I prayed for the discovery of those WMD's. Then I prayed for the link to 9/11. Then I prayed for common sense. It was to late by then.
So many innocent lives killed. destroyed, in the blink of an eye. Why? Where is the link to anything this administration claimed? They have had what, four years now to correct this. And now they want to send even MORE men and women into this quagmire of death and destruction. And for how long? Another four years? maybe five? Six?
No Mr.President, you have had plenty of time. the whole world is screaming for something else to be done. You are choosing not to listen. You are choosing more bombs, more death. You are inviting more terrorism into this and other countrys. Why, because you think you know better? Your arrogance is egregious.
Please, just step away from the podium. Go back to Texas. Haven't you done enough?



Taken from an American blog, what a shame there isn't a great deal more of the same level of intelligence in the U.S.

I see that Mr Bush's answer is to send a further 20,000 troops to Iraq. That means at least 500+ will be going to their death. Never to see home or their children again - Nice one George.

The UK (I read yesterday) is due to pull out 5,000 troops from Iraq by May. (odd I can't find a ref for it though)

A question or two - why is the USA so hell bent on changing countries way of life to the "USA way"? why can't the USA just leave people alone?

I think thats what gets up peoples noses - the huge arrogance of the USA to do what it likes and sod everyone else. Then they inevitably screw it up and make things 100 times worse for everyone.

In almost any UK satire show, a guaranteed laugh is about the USA - it seems the USA is totally one big joke here, its always on TV or in the papers, satire about America, Americans, GWB - anything American is a huge joke. Sadly, thousands die for the cause and yet the USA still can't see it.

There was a US anti-war rally on the news last night, only 100 or 2 people turned up, indicating the lack of interest by the US people.

That's because they're branded as unpatriotic, anti-American, political activists etc by the state and other Americans. I mean Americans are taught from the age of three that only the American state matters and it's unpatriotic to demonstrate against it

Europe is still pretty lost to this idea. This is a problem of terrorists and radical islam. If you think that if the US was not in the Middle East the problem would just vanish? If so then you are incredible mistake and havent taken your own terrorist attacks very serious.

If we dont fight them there...then it will be on our own door steps. You cannot negotiate with terrorists...that is a fundamental rule that is known throughout the world.

Once you do that, then you set yourself up for more terrorists doing bad things and demanding ransoms. You cannot reward bad behaviour with good posturing.

If yo care to remember. Europe tried already to appease the enemy and that lead nowhere. But obviously you dont learn from the past or from mistakes or from history.

"The British and French governments followed a policy of appeasement in order to avoid a new European war. This was partially due to doubts about the willingness of their populations to fight another war so soon after the huge death tolls of the first World War..." Read (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_2)

You think if we just leave Iraq then the world issues with radical islam and terrorists disapppears? Do you think that had we not gone into Iraq then the problem would be solved? Your mistaken.

This is a idealogy that we are fighting. Similiar to the ideology of Facism and communism. Europe tried to appease the Germans, but that was a waste of time.

The problem is not going away. You cant just sit there and appease everyone. What are you goin to say?

Please dont attack are subways anymore...please? If you dont we will give you money and you can have citizenship? Europes problem is that is has gotten extremely weak. The terrorists love to Terrorize. They know that Europe is weak and is a afraid of war and afraid of confrontation. They know that. They love that. That is what they do.

American on the other hand is one of the few countries that actually puts words into action. They know that if they attack us we are goin to attack them. What did Britain do when the subways were attack? Do they think that is was just a issue locally in that country? That was planned by terrorists and cells in that country if I recall correctly.

Lets not forget we are there because terrorits attacked us. Ask Why?

They had a place to plan, plot and deliver their ideas. The govts of Afghanistan and Iraq allowed this. That is not goin to happen in our books.

That is allowing an enemy to attack from your country via proxy, like Hezbollah does. They do Irans dirty work.

So sitback and hope things get better by negoiating with terrorists and click your heels 3 times and maybe they will just give up. They attacked our buildings from the Middle East...which shows that our vast oceans on both coasts didnt do much.

If these countries had stable strong govts that were democracies...then the problem could almost be eradicated...no more terror attacks, or it would be really really difficult.

What is Britains plan to stop terrorism?

"Those who forget the past are deemed to repeat it"

Europe is still pretty lost to this idea. This is a problem of terrorists and radical islam. If you think that if the US was not in the Middle East the problem would just vanish? If so then you are incredible mistake and havent taken your own terrorist attacks very serious.


Where were the terrorists in Iraq when Bush and Bliar decided to invade it?:rolleyes:

Strange that I've never read anywhere of anybody linking terrorists to Iraq before the invasion, infact quite the opposite.
Perhaps you can post links.

And I think Iraq was a secular society, definitly not a home for radical Islam, even if for the wrong reasons.

I thought the main thing with Iraq was that everyone was certain (:rolleyes: ) ahead of time that they had WMD, which was heightened by the fact that Saddam denied the UN investigators access at every turn. It makes me wonder if they really didn't have any WMD, why he didn't cooperate more fully with the UN team. It would have made it a lot harder for anyone to justify invading his country. :rolleyes:

Now as with any of these, there is a grain of truth to it, but also many flaws. I just found it humorous.
Indeed. For me the humor was found in the absurdity of the logic. ...Why, of course the Democrats intend to undo everything good going for the country. Isn't that what every leader means when they talk about change? :rolleyes:

It makes me wonder if they really didn't have any WMD, why he didn't cooperate more fully with the UN team. It would have made it a lot harder for anyone to justify invading his country. :rolleyes:
Granted this is pretty much a guess but... he was obviously a megalomaniac, control freak, power-hungry bastard, etc. He also had an inflated sense of grandeur... He really thought he would get away with invading Kuwait. He really thought he was calling the US's bluff in '03. He really thought he had the leverage to negotiate when he was captured.

My guess is that to him it would have been a sign of incredible weakness to acquiesce to the UN's demands. In a way it would be handing over rulership of Iraq.

Even if it wasn't like that, what if it was something as simple as an invasion of privacy? I mean, would you be inclined to let the police sift through your home without a warrant whenever they felt like it just because you had nothing to hide?

I mean, would you be inclined to let the police sift through your home without a warrant whenever they felt like it just because you had nothing to hide?

Well...if I invaded another country without provocation I probably deserve that treatment, like it or not. :)

Saddam had to go
Why, because he upset ol cross eye's daddy?:confused: :mad:
Bush and Bliar had absolutely no justification for this action he was no longer a threat whilst the no fly zones were enforced. The UK and the rest of the alliance were prepared to carry on for as long as required. The invasion of Iraq was fought for one reason and one reason only, OIL!:mad:

actually the plural just means more than one, and the story also said he spoke at mosques in several areas, so the logic is correct as it is more than one mosque he spoke at.

David Perry, prosecuting, told the court that Abu Hamza made clear encouragements to kill when he gave lectures and sermons at the Finsbury Park mosque and in Luton, Blackburn and Whitechapel, east London.

As I said, the linking of innocent deaths by the USA is now equated with the "deaths of countless thousands of threads" - You can't make it much clearer how you think about innocent deaths - thats why you should be president, he doesn't care who he kills to get to the oil.
In fact, re-reading your reply, you say "we Yanks" - therefore speaking for all Americans - you must be wrong though, there must be some Americans who have feelings.

Only if you're willing to send people to their death with no concience, ignore reasonable advice, be a pig headed idiot who can't speak properly, screw up the world big-time and care nothing for anyone except yourself and your bank balance - can you do all that? The fact you are American is a good start.

Col

I'm not saying that you have any, but you do realise that you are insulting any American friend you may have, don't you?

Hmm, paranoia, jumping to conclusions

The good news is, is that you're not American so you don't have to be ignorant of your grammatical failings. Pity it takes an American to point them out to you though isn't it ;) Kind of throws your suppositions out of the window really :D

I was under the impression the President of the USA had to be American. Bod is American isn't he? Whats your problem now Daniella?

Or is it now insulting to call an American "American" - I know you've all been told to say you're Canadian when out of the USA - can you update us all on the latest please?

Do you actually understand what you write :confused:

I've already lectured Rich on his grammatical failings. Can't you learn from his mistakes ;)

Ok, I'm ready to read your nitpicking response

Col

Well there's your first grammatical error, putting a question mark at the end of a non-enquiring statement. Making it non-sensical.

Is it time for your afternoon nap? :confused:

ah, I see now. You have no problem with my original statement, you are just being difficult for the sake of it.

I trust you will be equally nitpicking of your American colleagues who are grammatically challenged? I have to say, if spelling was a criteria for world domination, the USA would fail miserably judging by the US postings on these forums.

Col

We're not so different you and I :p

Being inherently ignorant they have a valid excuse, what's yours? :confused:

If you used it as a noun then you were talking like Tarzan.

Take your pick.
You obviously didn't read the definition posted:rolleyes:

- I know you've all been told to say you're Canadian when out of the USA - Col
That's because Bush has made the world safe for them:eek: :rolleyes:

You posted four, all of which were adjectives, all of which cannot be singular.

Next!

The word "Indian" in this sentence is a noun not an adjective :rolleyes:

Can we stop this? Your argument is doomed. ;)

We're not so different you and I :p

Are you sure it's not a possessive noun?

ROFL, a Yank lecturing on pig headed:rolleyes:

Your four definitions did not include a possessive noun.

If you would like me to instruct you on possessives as well as adjectives and nouns then just let me know, I'll try and fit you in :rolleyes:

It was supposed to be a light-hearted comment but I see you're not in the mood ;)

Just because you refuse to believe the truth does not make me "pig-headed". And its nice that you class some of your American colleagues as "inherently ignorant" - I personally wouldn't have gone that far but I suppose you would know best about ignorant Yanks.

Col

It was Rich who told me. As it came from him, I was compelled to believe it as a truth ;)

Judging by the smilie am going to assume top yourself means either you are gonna vomit or your going to euthanise yourself.

I think Col, Dan was referring to the earlier comment by Rich about how all Americans are ignorant. but then I could be mistaken. you never know

to the earlier comment by Rich about how all Americans are ignorant.
Where was that?:confused:

We're not the ones who constantly have to remind people how highly educated we are, remember? ;)

I see that Mr Bush's answer is to send a further 20,000 troops to Iraq. That means at least 500+ will be going to their death. Never to see home or their children again - Nice one George.

The UK (I read yesterday) is due to pull out 5,000 troops from Iraq by May. (odd I can't find a ref for it though)

A question or two - why is the USA so hell bent on changing countries way of life to the "USA way"? why can't the USA just leave people alone?

I think thats what gets up peoples noses - the huge arrogance of the USA to do what it likes and sod everyone else. Then they inevitably screw it up and make things 100 times worse for everyone.

In almost any UK satire show, a guaranteed laugh is about the USA - it seems the USA is totally one big joke here, its always on TV or in the papers, satire about America, Americans, GWB - anything American is a huge joke. Sadly, thousands die for the cause and yet the USA still can't see it.

There was a US anti-war rally on the news last night, only 100 or 2 people turned up, indicating the lack of interest by the US people.

Britain Policy? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070112/ap_on_re_eu/britain_blair)

How do you think the terrorism from N.I. stopped? American warplanes and bullets:rolleyes:

Yes, "top yourself" is slang for commit suicide.

Reminds me of a joke...

"An ice-cream man was found dead in the back of his van today, covered with crushed nuts and chocolate sauce.
Police say he topped himself." :p

You mean like you did in 'Nam:confused: :rolleyes:

Now that I think about it...I beleive the purpose of Vietnam was to stop the spread of Communism throughout Asia...even though it wasnt popluar its long term effects are good.

I believe only Vietnam, N. Korea, China, and one other Asian country is Communist today...

Cant really say it was a bad thing...just unpopular.

Hehe... in American gay culture, "top yourself" has quite a different meaning. :D

Theres not much you can do in terms of Economics when you have over a billion "consumers" and artifically keep your currency pegged low to make you products cheap.

Their currency doesnt fluctute with international market. The just raised it slightly beleive over the last few years.

Now with Democrats in power you can expect US-China relations to go downhill. Democrats dont like unfairness which hurts the US population...in terms of job loss and unfair competition.

You know how it goes.

Democrats "look out for people"
Republicans "look out for business"

The US trade deficit with China is astronomical in terms of dollars...hope the Democrats are tough with China...

Hehe... in American gay culture, "top yourself" has quite a different meaning. :D
