One of my favorite truthers! And I LOVE all his movies,except Platoon and Red Dawn.All Dogs Go to Heaven made me cry. Clearly, I guess Chaz is upset and feeling a LITTLE disenfranchised, like yours truly, because President Obama has shelved campaign promises about looking into what REALLY happened on September 11, 2001.Said promises were why I donated to his campaign.

biglittleman:"this hatred towards the West has nothing to do with religion. It is based on their experience with Westerners. Like having their villages bombed,family and friends killed. You think you would be all fine and dandy with that if it was you?"
Bingo! Another fine post, my amigo. Well, it really,really is just too funny watching the few remaining bush supporters here try their dambdest to avoid discussing the fact that America probably has troops stationed ALL OVER Nigeria and has taken at least half, if not all the oil they have there.They really can't see the forest for the presto logs!! Hence the violent actions like that of this lone coyote from Nigeria - really still just a child - who like, millions of Muslims around the world, has been driven to violence by imperialist western powers.
"There should always be respect even for your enemies. There is honor in that."
How many of us would have the courage to board a flight to Detroit full of Europeans,Canadians and Americans and light our crotches on fire to help bring attention to injustices in a third country thousands of miles from our own???

numbskull:"Not only funny but sad. It reeks of denial, all these whacky comments they make. Anything but admit the enormous error of Bush jr. in the White House."
Bingo! Bang on, mon ami. As one Canadian to another I think you know how maddening it is, and that is why we constantly need to point out to them, that even though we live outside of their country and are not of course even US citizens, we still understand there screwed up nation better than they EVER can!
"They insult us, put words in our mouth, and make irrelephant statements."
Double bingo! "Irrelephant"! Ha ha ha, it's too funny and I love it! You know, you really could be the next Margaret Atwood. Well, anyways, it's a good thing they caught this misguided idealist who was NOT on any kind of "jihad" mission or some such nonsense. If he had succeeded it would have vindicated paranoid rightists on both sides of the Atlantic.

Well, incidents like this make me feel I need to tell myself that it really is just TOO funny that the few remaining supporters of bush, worst president of all time who kept reading about his pet goat even after the second plane accidentally flew into the WTC towers,can't see that ALL religions have extremists.And here is another thing - even though terrorism is against everything Ghandi and I stand for, clearly, said terror is clearly a reaction against SOMETHING. I won't say what that something is, in part because I can't really explain it, but it is a talking point I am going to stick to.
The superlibs of the world might say I am the type that gets all his news and opinion from JapanToday but, well, I don7t care! It's just the way that I roll, dammit!

Well, the only big tel-evangelist who never got caught in a sex scandal after crashing a huge Cadillac Escalade is dead! Was he a man, a tiger, or a machine? If he never got any on the side (like I do!), I don't castigate nor condone him. But, looking at the other tel-evangelists, many of whom are no longer on TV, since this was more of an 80s and 90s thing, I cannot say fidelity is what made him great, can I? I can't really make a point either, can I?It must have been something else for all of them. Fill in the blanks,people. Get out the smelling salts. I can't do all the work here.

Well, it's just too funny that the right-wingers here NEED to attack a leader who is seeking dialogue and peace rather than just threatening to bomb ANOTHER sovereign dicatatorship into oblivion, or simply illegally invading it!!!
Well, anyways, my point is that the right wingers CAN have a field day with this if they choose, but it won't change the fact that they would be wrong, because logic was never there strong suite, and they don't understand syllogisms even if they trip over them.

Well, my many friends, it was a great speech, of course.But the part about war made me feel a little icky.Still, I will try and get an audio copy and put it on my ipod, which I wish had a hard drive I could partition in half, so I could listen to TWO of Obama's fabulous speeches at once.Said speeches are astounding,even after repeated listenings.
Obama is doing a bang-on job, as I had predicted he would, and I WOULDN't be surprised if he is BACK in Norway again next year, to get the Nobel Prize for saving the American economy,since unemployment has dropped a HALF percent in this month alone.Said half percent MUST be a record.
I wish I could have gone to "the Norway", as my students charmingly call it (by mistake, of course).If he won't come to Hirakata, well, maybe I will just have to go to where HE is!!!!
Oh, and don't think I don't know what people here,like the sargies of the world, say , "Gombei (not my real name by the way, that would be Richard),the president is not your boyfriend, okay?"
But I don't care!!!
It's just the way in which I have been rolling, since Obbama was inaugurated January 20, a mere two weeks before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, and it STILL gives me tori-hada (it's Japanese. And it literally means "chicken skin"The English equivalent is goose bumps.) to type that.

numbskull:"The question is, is it something lies by the wayside on the road to greatness, or is it part of asphalt?"
Bang on, my fine friend!! Your metafore is amazing, and astounding. My feeling is you could be the next Heather Mallick, or even Margaret Atwood.
It really is just too funny watching the rightists here bring the hate they have for President Obama down on Tiger Woods.
Well, anyways, what Tiger does is his OWN business.But, I HAVE heard rumors he might lean right politically, in which case the full weight of the stupid corporate media SHOULD come down on him, even though they also lean right.
Tis sad (but funny) to watch this whole ordeal's unfoldment. It says soooo much about the Puritanism that is STILL found in America. As I have said many,many times, sometimes it is people like us,who are from OUTSIDE said Puritan America, who understand it best.
Well, looking on the positive side, Tiger has become a lightning rod that takes the heat off Obama, who is just the greatest,ever.

The haters will just keep on hating no matter WHAT Obama, who is the greatest president EVER, does. They miss bush and his tax cuts for the wealthy one percent that own just about EVERYTHING in America and force the poor to pay taxes while they just get richer and richer and richer.Disgusting!
Well, anyways, since Faux news is biased and all the other networks are also dodgy I rely mostly on what I KNOW is true, and that is that green shoots of recovery are everywhere in America and the economy is looking up, and will soon turn the corner and be firing on all gaskets.

zurcronium:"It was all one big lie as we liberals pointed out before the invasion. Bush wanted oil for his Exxon masters and he used the deaths of the 9-11 victims of his incompetence to justify lies about Iraq."
Bingo! Another absolutely bang on post, mon frere. Have I ever told you that you could be the next Seymour Hersch? In a way you are lucky you are in Japan.Exxon's minions probably can't get to you there and SILENCE you, like they did so many writers and bloggerists during the darkest days of the bush years.
Anyways, tis a a shame the dimwit crowd could not see the lies that the media, including the New York Times, spewed on behalf of their corporate masters. Clearly, they don't have the freedom of speech WE enjoy in Canada, eh mate.
Well, anyways, extreme kudos to you for once again showing the wingers and the few remaining supporters of bush,who was the biggest LOSER of all time, ever, the error of their ways.

Well, my friends, right now I can not describe the envy I feel seeing this woman getting to shake the hand of the greatest,most wonderful politician of my lifetime, and maybe ever.
I am soooo jealous.

Well, extreme kudos to President Obama on this one. He will show the American people exactly what he meant when he called the US Constitution a " charter of negative rights ".If anything goes wrong though it will be the fault of bush, who was the worst president ever,and who COMPLETELY shredded said charter of negative rights to the point of non-recognizability.

Well, it's just too, too funny that the few remaining palin supporters on this site have had to resort to posting 5 or 6 times here in order to TRY and give the appearance that she is still relevant. In actuality, EVERYBODY knows she is anything BUT relevant.
Grand Rapids, Michigan? Well, it is practically a rock's toss from my hometown of Kingston, as the loon flies. I know it well. I had to unfriend a former student of mine living there who posted some pro-whaling garbage on Facebook.Oh and if the sargies of the world don't like that well TOO BAD, it's just the fashion in which I roll, dammit!! Anyways,If palin can only get 1000 people to go to her stupid book signing it means she is even more finished than she was last November when she and old man Mccain took a shellacking they are STILL licking their wounds about.
Anyways, my friends, I don't even see why this is news. The US economy is rebounding at an INCREDIBLE pace, the dollar gained against the currency of several countries today and clearly Obama clearly wowed China,8which palin probably thinks she can see from her trailerpark.Hah ha ha ha, its really a funny!)
As for any comparisons and lame attempts at jokes Canadians don't even know who palin is, so anyone trying to compare her to a Canadian dolt is just exercising a futility in performance.
Now get out of my head, palin !!!!!!

Well, we all know that when it comes to carte blanching all over the Gaza strips and Palestine this hoser Peres is probably even worse than bush, who was from the get-go the worst president ever and the reason that Vienezuelans (like my former student, who found me on Facebook!)learned enough English to follow bush's every misguided pronouncement on their country, which we ALL know he was obsessesd with, and show him just who is boss in Venezuela (hint:it wans't you, bushie boy!) and elect Hugo Chavez, who has heaps of charisma!, and some interesting ideas about government too.
Anyways, my many friends, this is ANOTHER prediction from Peres that he will regret making on a internet forum that I come to.
