Full Version: Gore Vidal on David Front (Al Jazeera)
Political Topics And Discussion > All Things Political > 2008 US Presidential Campaign

Did anyone else catch Gore Vidal on David Frost (Al Jazeera)? He was brilliant!

Some highlights:

Bush is brain dead
Bush thought starting an illegal war so that he could be a "war president" because someone told him war presidents are the "great" presidents
Dick Cheney is a madman.
Bush has spent down our brutal empire; we know no longer have money to continue that folly
Hillary Clinton was the best candidate, but she lost.
All proper Americans are ashamed to Americans in light of Bush and Abu Graib.
Obama is too inexperienced to be president, Clinton should have won, but Obama should now be supported (we will have to cross our fingers that he can learn).
Obama is a good man, but he won't know what to right away.
My comment: McSame knows what to do, more of the same old shitt.

Hmm? Gore Vidal, why does TQ admire him and why is TQ watching Al Jazeera?

The latter is obvious.

Perhaps, the former is too.

“Therefore, "there are no homosexual people, only homosexual acts." Given the diversity of human desire, Vidal resists any effort to categorize him as exclusively "homosexual"—either as writer or human being—and instead celebrates this polymorphous eroticism as natural and inevitable.”- Gore Vidal

A true and blue DOOMocratic leftist propagandists of elitist tenure made in the spitting image of doom and gloom that is TQ’s mantra and ego “Enjoy my vitriol.”

Another expat American, with a fake British accent in this case, proclaiming how ignorant America is and ranting, in impacting oblivion to all he is and has been, and will be, in an elitists utopian view of how stupid it was for the US to get involved in WWI and WWII.

(Perhaps, but would he even have existed otherwise, is the only question that truly matters, in this hinterland of utopian elitists hindsight made from a road never traveled because, had it been traveled as this hinterland hindsight of oblivion desires, reality as we know it, WOULD HAVE BEEN DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT!)

Another, Reverend Wright, TQ, Michelle Obama, “Amer-a-toad” proclaiming when asked, “I AM ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN.”


Gore Girly man Panty rant!!

THAT IS ALL!!

I disagree with Vidal about WW2. I am not sure about WW1 but he might have a point on that one. I watch Al Jazeera, and also Fox, BBC, and CNN. Al Jazeera (English of course) is excellent!

Expats like Vidal and I are of course our top patriots. Don't be afraid of criticism. bush supporters, they are the traitors to all that is good in American values.

Almost nobody cares if former wars were unjustified. They assume that the wars were fought, therefore they must have been just-if-I-had gotten God's blessing. If Grandpa fought there, it must have been righteous to kill all those unChristian Germans, Italians, Japanese, North Koreans, Buddhist Vietnamese, et al., who must have deserved to go to Hel.l. If you mention the conquest of the Americas by the Spanish, English, and French, then people yawn, denying the possibility that their sacred ancestors sinned. Worship the flag, worship the State, and God ends up in last place.

G. W. Bush did not spend America's last penny. Congress did, for 93 years. Bush just gave Contgess an extra excuse to push the national debt to more than 50 or 60 TRILLION now.

The piety of some peoples hubris, nescience, or Hyperbole, hey fits?

This is you hey!

1.) We agree, Sole Constitutional Authority on raising Revenues and SPENDING has ALWAYS laded exclusively at the feet of Congress.

2.) Yet, there are nuances of difference. The United States total public debt, commonly called the national debt, or U.S. government debt, is the amount of money owed by the United States federal government to creditors who hold U.S. debt instruments. Current the official Pubic debt stands at just over $ trillion with as long as a 30 year payment plan in terms.

UNFUNDED CONGRESSIONAL mandated entitlements of an ESTIMATED $59.1 Trillion include such things as that historically majority controlled Democratic preference for a perpetually OVER SIZED BUREAUCRACY. Your Federal Employee retirement funds of $14,374 per household or 2.78% of that 59.1 trillion debt is included. What is that 1.643 Trillion of “unfunded” Congressional mandates, why yes it is.





Some germane facts;

BALANCE DUE

The cost per U.S. household of unfunded promises made by federal, state and local government:
Medicare $255,280 (49.44%)

Social Security $144,251 (27.94%) =77.3% of total UNFUNDED national debt

Federal debt $43,380 (8.84%)

Military benefits $25,863 (5.01%)

State and local debt $17,537 (3.4%)

Federal civil- servant benefits $14,374 (2.78%)

State and local retiree benefits $13,114 (2.54%

Other federal obligations $2,548 ( .049 OF 1%)

Total $516,348

Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household.

Obama’s Doomocratic Health Care and high tax, lower revenue and productivity plans would conservatively, at a minimum, triple the unfunded national debt you lament in false blame, to somewhere between $150 Trillion and $200 Trillion.

No amount of defense cuts, even, to near zero, nor, even an unconstitutional Hugo Chavez like nationalization of all health care will make up that over burdening UNFUND mandate for universal health care as Prophesized by the Obama Nationalist of flawed hope and a prayer.

In the end despite the incessant hyperbolic of false populism, it has been, and is, and will more than likely remain, under a doomocratic controlled Congress; SPENDING!!



That is all!!

We agree the blame falls primarily upon Congress. Putting another Senator (McCain or Obama) will not change that.
