"NOYB" wrote in message
thlink.net... "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... NOYB wrote: "basskisser" wrote in message om... It had the whiff of parody. Psychologists dissecting the conservative brain? The authors also maintain they're not judgmental. Labeling conservatives" less integratively complex," isn't precisely the same as saying they're simple- minded. It merely means conservatives aren't compelled to jump through complex, intellectual hoops to justify their relatively black-and-white view of the world. That's the beauty of being able to see things in black and white. There's no need to jump through complex, intellectual hoops to justify anything or reach a rationale conclusion. The answers to many of the World's "complex" problems are always so painfully obvious to a conservative. Indeed, conservatives must find a great deal of solace in their ignorance and simple-mindedness. More like satisfaction with our clairvoyance. So, you believe in black arts eh? Do you suppose that's what's employed to conger Bush Administration fiscal plans? That'd make sense. |

Let's see...we'll heighten the security alert to make Americans uneasy, then we'll tell them we don't need as many sky marshals as we have, then we'll tell Americans to be prepared for a skyjacking... Has there been a more incompetent administration in the last 50 years? I don't think so. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |

Has there been a more incompetent administration in the last 50 years? I don't think so. As you already know, these "Security Alerts" are doubly inane. Since 9/11, since Afghanistan, since Iraq, *every* day should be seen as a "high risk" day. Are we going to count on Al-Jazira to predict our security risks??? What a bunch of horse****! If Al-Qaida is going to hit us, they aren't likely to put it on the radio or TV first. "Al-Jazira stated today that you should call your mother." HAR!!! More frightening is the thought that the Bush Administration needs every diversion that they can get, because the pacification of Iraq gets more deadly, and more uncontrollable, every day. The absolute certainty of WMD's has become "murky intelligence". Saddam's certain nuclear- sorry, noocular program has become an "intelligence error". The only saving grace at this point is some sort of "liberation" for the Iraqi people, although loyalty will temporarily lie with whoever gives them food, electricity, and water. A hungry man does not care about Democracy, he wants to eat, and to feed his family, and he does not care who is running the show. Are we delusional (just a question) in thinking that a society that has been fuedal for 3,000 years will suddenly embrace Democracy? The jubilation at the toppling of Saddam's statue has been replaced by demonstrations and RPG's. For those that remember, and for those that don't, it is becoming like Vietnam. Daily death counts in a country that we do not, and cannot, control, populated by people that we do not understand. My utmost respect and appreciation goes to the members of our various armed forces, who place their lives on the line every day, to defend their country. I also pray daily that our leadership is worthy of such sacrifice. My respectful condolences go to those who have lost loved ones in this war. noah Courtesy of Lee Yeaton, See the boats of rec.boats www.TheBayGuide.com/rec.boats |

My respectful condolences go to those who have lost loved ones in this war. noah I'm afraid it is going to take a significantly larger number of body bags to force the Bush Administration to come to some sort of sense. Today's news reports were full of features about ultra-conservative mullahs from Iran returning to Iraq to take up where they left before Saddam, to establish a theocracy in Iraq. Now *that* should be interesting. You really have to wonder how stupid Bush really is to go down the path he is following. He is creating a world in which those who oppose us are solidifying in ways never imagined in the "good" old days of the Kremlin. We're going to take a big hit from the terrorists, and when we do, it will be because of Bush. That has to be made crystal clear to Americans. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |

harry, i think what is being lost here is that another attack would be good for bush, ie simple minded people will always revert back to basic instincts when attacked. he makes people feel good and safe with his soundbites, wargames, and religeous good vs evil bull****. 911 was the best thing that ever happened to this administration, and he would surely be one term if it wasnt for that. I'm sure there are Bush-ites who are praying to Allah for another attack so that their "fearful leader" can try, once again, to look "presidential," instead of lookling like an idiot. -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |

That's where Dems and Republicans differ. We'd never hope for tragedy and suffering just to further our agenda. You guys, however, were caught red-handed in California trying to prolong the budget crisis. You're a bunch of sick *******s that aren't worth a piece of dried up dog poop on the bottom of some bum's sole. |
