Jones Act, Waivers and Cabotage

Apparently, Thunder old chum, anyone who doesn't agree with George Bush

 

Well if you follow the approval ratings that would include 66% of Americans.

 

And that's just the ones who admit it! But like his poodle the Brit's very own 'Blur' somebody must have at one stage! Not surely the families of the soldiers who are sent to Iraq (Iran, whoops to early) to do 'His' bidding for no apparant need other than to make him look omnipotent (hang on which one am I talking about?) and die in the process! Still at least shrub has the guts to welcome home the bodies of the guys he's killed, his lapdog doesn't even do that!

 

When was this? They will not even allow pictures of the planes filled with coffins coming in the middle of the night and unloading.

 

apoligies Kach I was under the impression shrub had actually admitted and attended the home coming of some of the first poor sods to cop it! Wouldn't do it now of course, some of the families might tell him the awful truth!

 

Actually, Walrus, His Highness couldn't care less about us rabble. We just saw a video of him being warned about the Katrina effects way before it hit, and what does our little Nero do? Goes off to play with his guitar and other similarly useful things for several days. I guess a fiddle would be too difficult for our little fascist bas***d.

A week or so ago when it came out that Cheney had shot a lawyer I joked to a friend that this would double his approval rating all the way up to 17%. As of yesterday, it was actually 18%. George is running along at 34% because of all the idiots who voted for him and are not honorable enough to admit they made a huge mistake. Or maybe they are just consistently idiots.

I really think our "leader" actually gets off on all the death he causes. Like when he was a kid blowing up frogs with fire crackers. It makes him feel powerful, and he needs that to get back at all his college classmates who universally referred to him as "the Jerk."

As much as I enjoy venting about the fools and ignorant buffoons, we all promised not to get political.

However if someone want to explain to me why foreign ownership of ports is somehow ALWAYS a good thing, I'll be open minded.

Please refer to the thread already in progress at:

My apologies, Kach. I have become so upset about the condition of my country that I have been looking for a place to immigrate. This worry carries over into places it shouldn't. I'll try to be better.

Trouble is Gentlemen, without getting to political about it, it don't really matter were ye are, we're all going downhill in a steamroller! It would appear that non of our erstwhile leaders are any better or any worse than the rest! Mind you they'm good at telling you how good THEY are and how BAD the rest are! Can't see much difference between the lot of em really!

 

was ganna go to cornwall myself,,,,,,but Walruss is there!

 

Actually longliner I'm in London at the moment! c an't make a living in Cornwall, they're trying to close all the Naval Bases down! amongst other things! OK so it's across the border in England I know but it still affects!

 

whats a matter man ,,,,,the corn dollar down ? or are you just lazy and shiftless,,,,,as stated in other threads?

 

Damn,

At least I'm consistent.
Sure wish I had a $ (OK Pacifc Peso) for every US Fishing / Boating website I've been banned from for saying BEFORE and DURING the Iraq debacle - that we shouldn't be doing this, it's dumb and it's wrong! I admit I posted photo's of innocent dead Iraqi wimmin and kids - because the press refused to do so and referred to them ONLY as "colateral damage".

What I've failed to understand, is how we justify a war of aggression, and do the ol flag waving ra ra rally round the troops - when WE are the ones in the wrong?

OK - The twin towers happend, but if you really THINK about it....well - the American Nation STOPPED being great - the day you lost your 'Peoples President' JFK. (Shot with a magic bullet!)

America died the day it accepted the Warren commission report IMHO.

You know - the Nation died the day it stood back and allowed the rest of the Kennedy clan to be "eliminated"...

I know you all like to knock Teddy K for Chappaquiddick...and plenty else since - but what broke the man? The knowledge his country was LOST, and there was NOTHING a decent man (or family) could do about it?

Someone posted that the nations finnished when good men do nothing!

How many do you have to lose in your family, and watch all the good men do nothing, before you quit?

Averyone forgotten JFK Junior's "accident" over Martha's vineyard?

Since then - it's been VERY much downhill..

You know, this was all predicted - by your very OWN "prohetess" Jean Dixon way back in the early 60's - she not only foresaw the Deaths of JFK and his brother, (And Junior) but said THIS about the future she saw for your country unfolding before your eyes today!

First tho - this priceless one!

An interesting quote from Slick Willie!

This is something written by American Prophetess . seer Jean Dixon back in the early 60's from memory.

"Jean Dixon, My life and Prophecies Bantam books 1969 page 179".

Rather a good forecast 45 years ago for what we see unfolding now IMHO.

The thing is - even when "good men" know what to look out for and what to do to stop it - they do nothing!.

The descent into civil war in the USA within the next 2 - 5 years will not be because of anything anyone did - it will be because of what was NOT done!

Course ... likely as not I'll get banned again - but 'tis a badge of honor I wear with pride!

Cheers!

 

Infra Penny Infra Pound as the ol' saying goes!

And while we are on the subject (now that I introduced it) this is what she had to say on Red China in the distant future and the Middle East abouts now!

Whatta they say about a prophet never being welcome in his / her own land?

Cheers!

 

God trouty I hate it when your right!

Just one thing, this Jew / Arab thing, the main problem is simply the Arabs are Jews and vice versa (why else would they hate each other so much - it's called family love, brothers tend to fight brothers! Unfortunately!)
