The Republican Party is using US taxpayer dollars to rig elections and take political control of countries all over the world!
GOP organization linked to dirty politics, attempted coups, 'building democracy' for US

When I tell people that America IS the largest known terrorist organization on the face of the planet, in denial, they scoff, as if, whatever, no we're not, we bring Democracy and Freedoms and Liberty - how is that a terrorist activity?
I simply ask them to define Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism, and Terrorize.
Things, by their comprehension, the USA does not engage in, rather the USA fights against.
Many times these people attempt to put a face on Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism, and Terrorize. Like it's identifyable by it's location.
And so I ask them:
QUESTION: If Terrorism isn't as ambiguously enigmatic as some say it is, then why haven't we bombed Great Brittan over 7/11? Or how about Bali? WHY IS IT ONLY ARAB NATIONS WE WAR WITH?
Think about it.
For some people, Bozo the Clown is a source of terror. So let's bomb Bozo?
Hardly!
Then they humm and haw and attempt to ratiionalize why it isn't the USA thats the terrorist, after all, that WAS my question to them. They do this by redefining, sometime verry accurately, the words; Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism, and Terrorize. And then leave it at that as if leaving it there justifies their claim that's it the "OTHER GUY" that is the terrorist.
However, I have to remind them that they are attempting to pigeon hole the definition of a word that holds several meanings, and in doing so, is stupidly ignorant.
TERROR
NOUN:
1~Intense, overpowering fear. See Synonyms at fear.
2~One that instills intense fear: a rabid dog that became the terror of the neighborhood.
3~The ability to instill intense fear: the terror of jackboots pounding down the street.
4~Violence committed or threatened by a group to intimidate or coerce a population, as for military or political purposes.
5~Informal An annoying or intolerable pest: that little terror of a child.
TERRORISM
NOUN:
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
TERRORIST
NOUN:
One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism.
ADJECTIVE:
Of or relating to terrorism.
TERRORIZE
TRANSITIVE VERB:
1~To fill or overpower with terror; terrify.
2~To coerce by intimidation or fear.
And so I ask them the most obviuos questions:
QUESTION: So why is American armed forces in Iraq again? To coerce a new government into order, existence? To alter political ideologies by bringing them Democracy? Based on bad, poorly obtained, refuted intelligence? How far removed is America from that which she fears and loaths?

Jackboots
NOUN:
1~A stout military boot that extends above the knee.
2~A person who uses bullying tactics, especially to force compliance.
3~The spirit sustaining and motivating a militaristic, highly aggressive, or totalitarian regime or system.

Sounds very familiar. When I posted this story on another forum, the so-called "Libertarians", aka closet Republicans, justified the actions of the Republican party by saying, "Well, that's better than having the libruls swoop in."
Of course, there is no evidence that US "libruls" are swooping in anywhere to dominate the politics of foriegn countries, but that doesn't matter. They had no arguement to defend the Republicans, but didn't want anyone else to get the last word.

I just told him that seeing that he didn't know me or my principles and ideologies, that that was extremely brazen of him to suggest that I go fight against my country, that he just revealed the arrogance of his character by insulting me and my patriotic nature.
He was going on about Zarqawi's death and how the USA allowed him to gain a foot hold in the insurgency movement. Blah, blah, blah. Like no duh. And that we need to stay least Iran take control of the region and invade Israel, blah, blah, blah. Like really?
But then he directed his tormented rage toward me by asking then what do I suggest? Just roll over and let them fuck us over?
My reply, Make it a peace keeping mission.
It is amazing how some people wear their allegiances on their sleeves like good citizen soldiers with laptops in place of brown shirts.
