“I'm done with Huffington­..... Bye”

“The picture was photo-shop­ped..... It was a lie.... Google should have removed it.

How would you like a picture of you blowing me?”

“Free speech on internet involves real pictures, which shouldn't be censored, but when they are photo-shoped and destort the truth they should be taken off internet by the search engines when folks complain about them. The photo-shoped pictures should be removed immediately and this is why I removed any links or ties to Google.

Google hasn't been a good search engine for years now..... all you get in the first 20 or 30 responses are ads or sites with no connection to what you are seaching for. Good bye Google....­..”

“I voted for President Obama for change but we are not getting change. We are getting more of the same. The same people in the Pentagon pushing the same wars. The same people in the Banking industry ie., The Fed, SEC etc. In all the Government positions that count we have the same people who served under Bush for eight years. How can things change. Congress hasn't changed they still answer to lobbyist and gobble up bribes to pass whatever bills corporate america wants. We have been lied to and have had the wool pulled over our eyes, again. Is it time for the revolution yet?”

“Americans continue role as punching bag for Corporate America. Americans continue to put up with actions of banks and now drug companies. When will it end. It won't end until Americans get angry and stand up for themselves and say enough and then enforce it with action. Until then Americans are nothing but a punching bag for Corporations and the rich fat cats who only want to get richer.

The Solution is to show up in Washington DC during the next demonstration with your sign. Demonstrate in front of your banks and drug stores in your home towns. Get out of your houses and off your rear ends and do something. Make some noise. Otherwise just shut up and take it........

Just a point of interest here......­American drug companies already charge Americans more than anyone else.... You can buy the same drugs in other countries for less than half of what we Americans pay.....”

“Problem in not with the Commander-in-Chief he has only been in office for 10 months. The problem was held over in the Pentagon namely Robert Gates and all the right wing war-mongering Generals under his command. Time to clean house in the Pentagon.”

“Do you trust the military to investigate themselves? Not me. I smell coverup directly from the top by Robert Gates.”

“I have to ask at the risk of being called conspiracy theorist “Did the military allow the attack in Fort Hood to happen to gin up the war fever?”

We won’t know how much the Pentagon knew about his activities for weeks but I for one will be watching each disclosure with growing interest. To date there have been so many new discoveries about how much the military and FBI knew about the killer that it boggles the mind to think they left him in place working with returning soldiers with PTSD.

I certainly hope the Pentagon doesn’t put the blame for all this on some enlisted man like they did with Abu Ghraib debacle.

I want to see heads roll for this one and I mean head with hats with stars on them.”

“We have been in Afghanistan for 9 years now and just a few weeks ago it was so important to increase the troops and equipment? The Pentagon has dicked the dog for 9 years, its enough, bring the troops home destroy the equipment that is there and burn the poppies and leave those people to their own devices. Oh! I forgot about the oil pipe lines. Blow them up so they can't be used again.....­..”

“I think it is time for a clean sweep from the top down at the Pentagon.”

“Still echoing in the minds of Americans 40 years later is LBJ’s legacy. They chanted "Hey Hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today” "Hey Hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today””

“Dear President Barack Obama,

Sir, I understand that you are a admirer of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and many folks use your name in conjunction with FDR but I would advise you to pay more attention to Lyndon Baines Johnson who during his government service also passed sweeping legislation including The Civil Rights Act which was the cornerstone of Johnson’s plan for the Great Society, which also included Head Start, Medicare, Medicaid, and voting rights.

LBJ ran for office as the “Peace Candidate” but this soon created a "credibility gap" when LBJ started listening to the advice of Hawks in his cabinet such as Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's who’s plan, supported by requests from top U.S. military commanders in Vietnam, led to the commitment of 485,000 troops by the end of 1967 and almost 535,000 by June 30, 1968. The casualty lists mounted as the number of troops and the intensity of fighting escalated. In the end over 58,000 troops died.

In retirement, LBJ spoke of this. He referred to his Great Society program as a "beautiful woman" and noted that she was gradually replaced by the "bitch" that was the Vietnam War.

Sir, this is a lesson to be learned and the greatest attention should be given to it before any commitment for more troops to Afghanistan or Iraq.

Sincerely,

Phil Waste”

“Sorry but you're wrong! FCC controls cable also. Go to the FCC site and you will see.

“This will take you directly to the complaint department.

“If they were using Union Workers it would have been done right!

Complain to the FCC.

“With all the noise about Imus, Stern, and Janet Jacksons boob this should get Fox and Hannity banned for life. The FCC should be knocking on their door right about now especially if we all complain to the FCC about FOX and Hannity airing lies. Here is the site where you can contact the FCC.

http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

I just sent them a complete copy of the video so they can judge for themselves how duplicitious both Hannity and FOX were.”

“Is it true that FOX NOISE got two hundred H1N1 flu shots?”

“Look at the top of the page and you will see that this forum was about “anti-war Activist” and even mentions Code-Pink.

I was addressing those who do vs. those who just sit a talk about it. Which are you? As far as your entire comment I say ‘horse pucky’. I’ve never seen so many words used to say so little.

My comments were for everyone but yours were directed at me personally so maybe you should follow your own advice that is if you even understand it. ”

“Has anybody on this board gone to Washington or marched in your hometown against the war?

My guess in most of you sit in front of your computer and complain but won't get off your butts and do something.

You do realize that complaining on here does absoulutely nothing to bring our troops home.

Go to Washington and do something, talk to Congressmen and Senators.”

“Pie in the sky. We tried in 2005 and again in 2006 and no one cared. Marched in Washington we did but couldn't get the rest of America off the dead butts.”

“I was born in 1940 during the last war that was fought to defend ourselves and our way of life. When WWII ended began the political wars of choice and I fear most were fought for profit and to keep the pentagon humming with military contracts.

It is time to turn a deaf ear to the pentagon and stop these so called wars with faceless enemies who represent no country and wear no uniform.

Bring our troops home now both from Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea.”

“Dear President Obama,

I would like to volunteer to be one of your financial advisers. I can assure you that I haven’t any ties with the banking or investment community. I am a few months shy of being 70 years old and have enough common sense to know when someone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

You, Mr. President need help and guidance from real American working people who are getting raped by your present advisors.

Please consider my application because you would get nothing but the straight talk from this old man.

Sincerely,

Phil Waste”

“Why bother with anything. Nobody is going to jail for anything they do! We workers get punished heavyly for any infraction committed whether is is a driving ticket or DUI. We get our chops busted big time but Bankers and Federal Employee get away with murder.

I'll start paying attention when someone goes to jail until then I'm on vacation.”

“It looks like the Corporations have lost their power over the people except for the ultra right wing conservative bigots. The Corporations have poured millions upon million into right wing radio media who-oores who have been spreading hate and the so called conservative message to a few right wing radicals who have been eating it up as gospel.

Main stream Americans are not buying the corporate propaganda and the Corporations are going to lose another round with the people of the United States. Main stream Americans are beginning to ask if all the layoffs were just another ploy to hurt the Obama Administration and punish the people who voted him into office.

Corporations have been out to destroy the middle class for years now and with the help of bankers and investors have nearly brought the working man to his knees. Time to fight back! Organize, when we a united we are strong.

The true enemies of the people are sitting in board rooms across the nation making decisions that adversely affect the well being of the American people while lining their own pockets. Greed indeed!
