You're happy that there will be four more years of polluting the environment and specifically NOT addressing the PO issue? Man, you've got your priorities out of whack. I'm not saying Kerry would have addressed the issue but we've seen what Shrub has done for the past four years...........and that amounts to nothing regarding the PO issue.


What do you mean? Bush is waging two oil wars. And he supports clean coal and nuk-u-ler energy. And fuel cells. Nothing to worry about. :roll:

Hahahahaahahaah! That's great. I will say this about Emperor Shrub. There will be no shortage of comedy relief. The sad part is that it's not funny anymore.

I agree with kingcoal,
havin a sneaky suspician that SHTF and maybe the draft is going to get set. Then its going to be funny to see all these "patriots" have to walk the walk instead of yapping the trap.
Heck i might get drafted. if so I am out a here. already did my time in gulf war 1. bunch a BS. Either way Bush now has to carry the load. Im nmot too sure he won.

Actually he doesn't support clean coal. He has pushed bills to loosen restrictions on coal plants.

I am very sad that these are the facts. :cry:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')e? Specop, are you a multimillionaire, skull and bonesman? Did you go to Yale and subsequently Harvard? That is the company you claim kinship with. Bush, who passes himself off as a common man with a speech impediment, is actually a rich boy who has led a very privileged life. You are nothing more than a minion to them and the rest of the Illuminati.

Get ready for the shit, it's going to hit the fan. Actually, I agree with Aaron, either red or blue has the same problems. The sinking dollar is the biggest. I'm interested in how Bush will handle that.

Great post.

You seem to have the attitude I see a lot of lately. I think you might want to open up your eyes and see who really pulls the strings in this world. Both parties are corrupt, controlled by the money. Wealth has the ability to do incredible things.

After seeing this election I think I'll get into the God business. If I slap a cross on a building, use the word "prayer" at least every 15 minutes in conversation with people, and justfiy lies and stupidity with "God told me" it is a formula for doing anything and making a lot of money.

The thing that surprised me the most is that the majority of the red states are not centers of commerce and concentration of wealth areas like NYC and southern California. It was esentially the living poor voting for the laid back wealthy.

You have got to wonder how people in states like Ohio that lost about 1/4 of a million jobs along with shocks to the steel industry had a close race.

Just discount for a moment everything you know about peak oil and world affairs and think like a high school drop out working a dead end job in the mid-west having been only in contact with people who are your own race, religion, etc. You see your jobs going down the tube, your buddy got blown up in Iraq, and if you still have a job your benefits are being slashed with a potential for illegal workers to get permits to do your job for less money. How would you vote if you were that guy?

This is a 100% gaurantee of a hard crash. While oil is still sort of affordable people should be educated about this by the president. He can put it in very simple terms and encourage changing lifestyles to have a soft landing.

How it has been branded in the American psyche that it is the "American way" to waste and use up whatever we wish will be the undoing of everything which was built up on this. Any politican going contrary to that and suggesting we use common sense will be labeled something like a communist.

Sadly, I think we will not have an opportunity to have another president who may warn the people because the crash has gone into top gear and will probably occur before another election.

Like I said in another thread, the faith based voters will be the biggest threat to humanity when civility is gone because their whole world and faith system will be shattered when food, water, utilities, transportation, etc....get taken away from them. Anyone who just has a reality check like that after it is too late will do desperate things.

Yep. I'm from Ohio and I still can't believe it. We're the hardest hit state economically and most of the jobless rural idiots voted for Shrub.

While I'm still completely baffled and more than a little irritated with the outcome of this most recent election, I can see why it happened. Just being "Not Bush" isn't enough to oust the muppet himself. Kerry spent too much time defending his war record against a guy who didn't even go to 'Nam and not enough time highlighting what he could do for us. So when the day came the people who lost their jobs and had their kids shipped overseas to die for special interest groups and Halliburton voted for the devil they knew instead of voting in hope of change.
I personally would like to go door to door and smack across the face every low to middle class person who's having a tough time making ends meet who has a yellow ribbon on a tree out front who voted for Shrub Augustus because he's A Good Chrisitan Regular Joe I Could Have A Beer With. They better not complain for the next four years about outsourcing, extended tours of duty, peak oil, tax cuts for the rich, or the draft which is eventually going to be inevitable.

Yes, I hear you and agree with you. When one generalizes, one is wrong more often than not; however, I have never seen such a blatant disregard for logic and reason on that kind of scale in my entire life (plus my parents are retired teachers here in Ohio and I don't even want to get into that) and I am more than a little pissed about it.

The kicker is that Shrub broke two fundamental Republican rules: small government and limited government spending. Not only did he break those rules, he unequivocally shattered them. One cannot argue those two points - he is guilty of it, period. If the average American were to pull that kind of crap with their credit card, checking account, lease, or mortgage, any bank in this country would pull the plug on them ASAP.

He's done it in less than four years and the American public shouldn't have given him the privilege of serving us for another term. What happened yesterday was the act of pure lunacy and it reminds me of what pre-WWII Germany had to have been like. Anyone who can't see the pure nationalistic attitudes coming forth right now is either brain dead or too medicated to care. Franklin said that people so eager to give up personal liberty and freedoms for the sake of temporary safety deserve neither. 51% of the voting population don't deserve liberty or freedoms in my opinion.

One thing that history has shown us is that constant war and nationalism leading to Imperialism will not last. The Romans couldn't do it and neither will America.

There is no doubt in my mind that he's going to bankrupt America and break her back in the process during the next four years.

Funny how that's the same thing Osama bin Laden wants and he has admitted that in his most recent tape. Who is the real enemy here? Seems to me that Shrub and OBL are on the same page with 51% of Americans giving the green light to do it, and we're all going to get sucked into the shitstorm as well thanks to these imbeciles.

So, yes I'm extremely pissed. Would Kerry do a better job? Who knows, but we've seen the Shrub's song and dance and look where it's gotten us. Anyone with some brains knows that our election is a farce but dammit, the American people are making it easier for the people controlling things to systematically control and destroy them. The people with the most to lose seem to be the ones accelerating their own demise. Doesn't make a lick of sense.

I'm pissed at my fellow Ohioans and pissed at my fellow Americans for that matter so I'm getting my rage off my chest at the close-minded simpletons that my parents tried to educate their entire adult lives. I had to grow up around those idiots. Not all were idiots but the majority were. Looks like a pattern developing, no?

I've disagreed with some of the things you've posted on this site but I don't think you're stupid........we may disagree but at least we're both trying to rationalize things. I agree with a lot of what you say and for that I think we're a step ahead of everyone else (along with everyone on this site).

What I saw yesterday was the destruction of the Constitution and I hate it. I still love my country very much. Enough to question the policies of our government officials. That's called being a patriotic citizen. It's every citizen's duty to do that. After all, they work for us.......although does it really seem like that anymore?

What I saw yesterday was 51% of the voting population willingly turn into subjects, not citizens, and for that, Europe and the rest of the world are going to turn their backs to us........and rightly so.

The American public, thanks to 51% of it, is going to get everything it deserves.

End of sermon (pun especially intended).

What do you mean holding things?

Are bibles and crosses edible?

Those who are brainwashed by religion will be the least likely to survive because they will be unprepaired for the reality of diminshing resources, energy, and goods. Sure they can go out and shoot someone go get what the need but that sort of thing will end in someone tossing a moltov cocktail on your roof.

Don't assume just because you think your faith is real it is. Harsh reality always trumps the things based on "what if". If you belive religious things and cite biblical times and events like the Red Sea parting then I can cite things like people jumping out of the twin towers. Their faith should have made it impossible for them to have such a horrible death. It is not meant to taunt or make light of what happend to them but when it comes down to it religion based purely on faith and lack of doing anything is insanity.

This is brilliant. I'd vote for you based on that picture alone, Larry. Makes me smile anyway. :)


You don't stop paddling if you're stuck in the upper Niagara River without an engine. I'm sure you would utter a prayer or two but any sane person wouldn't just say, "the hell with it, my faith is strong, an angel will save me". They would be paddling like a mofo - or not be in the river in the first place.

Why can't the 51% of Americans figure this out?
