A New Wrinkle in the JFK Assassination Story
Commented Oct 30, 2009 at 20:14:30 in Books
“It does not appear that we will ever know the whole truth and nothing but the truth regarding JFK's assassination. I personally believe it was a conspiracy; but the who and the why are any number of guesses.
Thankfully the same is not true with respect to Iraq war crime. The Bush administration's faux attempt to sell it as legit is beyond laughable.”

“there are some who claim this has always been an open secret and we really do know the basic truth and did from 1963. we have been confused by arguments over details about the scenery. I submit that the only really sensible explanation for the behaviors of Oswald and Ruby is a conspiracy. the other explanations are Rube Goldberg type contrivances sold by being packaged in a blue ribbon commission.”

“I share your bemused puzzlement Arianna; the media are addicted to the biggest and the baddest—always on the lookout for the next white bronco moment. It is beyond nauseating. I no longer watch TV news shows, cable or otherwise. It's all too packaged and scripted, oh and nauseating.”
Why Joe Biden Should Resign

“I understand where Arianna is coming from; however, such a move would be seen as a political grandstand. And worse, it would give new life to the Republican insurgency, which is the # 1 threat to our national security, well ahead of foreign war policy. Besides, Obama may just come around to a more sensible approach to the Afghanistan war, which would render the entire discussion somewhat moot.”

“The most important thing to remember in the midst of a crisis of this magnitude is that there is no "they" only "us". Focus your rage where it will do the most good for the whole; and that is definitely not setting up nice neat strawmen to yell and scream at.”

“I am all for working together to fix this monumental crisis, but I will NOT associate myself with those -- large corporations executives -- who put us in this mess; I clearly demarcate myself and those like me with "they".”

“Michael Moore is a true American patriot--he has become the voice of the voiceless. I am 1000% glad that the Republican Party has been ousted from power; but they are not the whole of our problems--that would be big money influence trumping real human needs.”

“Obama needs to get extremely tough on the banking and insurance industries--they are threatening the union and weakening the nation at a time of war and great economic suffering. They will not change their ways unless and until they are forced to--force them sir.”
HumeSkeptic replied on Sep 14, 2009 at 18:40:34
“To force them, he needs regulations and laws. Those must be passed by the Congress. And therein lies the difficulty.
Look at what it takes to fight just the health insurance companies. And now you are talking about fighting big banks and Wall Street firms.”

“Because the Preamble states that the purpose of the government is to promote the common wealfare, you are correct. The question becomes how to promote it. But equal protection and due process would not allow favors to banker except under an "emergency." However, we are now under a "permanent" emergency which requires a new definition of what is constitutional. Same with national security.

“Wall Street has proven resilient in their opposition to the president (and the people)--this is ipso facto treasonous behavior given that we are at war and in a severe economic crisis. Here's what to do:
1. Nationalize the "too big to fail" banks
2. Fire the top 250 "managers" and all board members--no severance--investigate /fine / indict where appropriate
3. Break them up to some predetermined size
4. Reestablish governance and internal controls
5. Pass new tougher and effective regulations
6. Operate new smaller banks under government watch for 3 years
7. Banks found to be worthy may re-privatize after the 3 year probationary period; those not worthy must be liquidated via market forces”

The Republican Party Is Turning Into A Cult
Commented Aug 19, 2009 at 09:45:12 in Politics
“The Republican Party is in a state of shock after being roundly defeated at the polls in the last two national election cycles. They are feeling betrayed and rejected by the society they thought was in their back pocket. Reality slipped away from these folks long ago and they have reverted to the religion, guns, and conspiracy theories. It's really painful to watch them twist in the wind--but they brought on themselves, and now the party of personal responsibility needs a healthy dose of their own medicine.”
