		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Comrades,&lt;/strong&gt;

Will do away with Warrantless Wiretapping, Gitmo, Relgion, displaying of the American Flag in public and all that patriotic decadence we detest when we take back the Congress!
  
But, you&#039;re loosing focus again! There is a greater, clearer and more dangerous threat too our party that will shortly perpetrate our air-waves on ABCâ€™s â€œThe Path to 9/11â€ 

These traitors at ABC are betrayers of our new mother land. Where I come from, this Robert A. Iger would be dragged through the streets in front of the tomb of our glorious leader Vladimir Lenin and shot in public. The producers, directors, writers and anyone associated with this propaganda would be picked up in the early hours of the morning by our State Security Chief Lavrenty Beria (The Black Hand) and taken to a Siberian labor camp never too be heard from again.

For many years I have been loyal to ABC and the Pravda (truth) that our Socialist Liberal ally has put forth in order to progress our ultimate goal; the decline and absolute destruction of America and the capitalist traitorous pigâ€™s like ABC.

I ask you Mr. Robert A. Iger, â€œHave you no shame Sirâ€?

Comrades, we must not give up the fight. It has taken us many years to groom you and your elected leaders.

Remember what our great leader Nikita Khrushchev said:

â€œ We can&#039;t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism &quot;

Itâ€™s more important now then ever before that we stand together and stay focused!  We can not allow this abomination of propaganda to go forward.

We must do whatever it takes to keep this film from airing on Sunday the 10th, 2006, we only have a few hours left.

It is your duty as loyal Liberal Socialist Democrats to rise up in solidarity and put a stop to this immediately!

Senator Harry Reid, one of our courageous and distinguished Senatorial leaders from the state of Nevada, reminded the capitalist traitorous pigs at ABC of their license from the FCC.  Please Senator Reid, weâ€™re your loyal comrades in arms and begging you to use all the glorious power you possess.  You must stop this film!  You must push forward with an iron fist and crush this despicable display of propaganda.

If this film isnâ€™t stopped from airing on ABC, Sunday night, Iâ€™m afraid all our efforts since the cold war and the aspirations of our great leaders from glorious years past and Nikita Khrushchevâ€™s dreams and predictions will have been lost.

If we loose now, the great Liberal Socialist Democratic Party, we have nurtured, will decline into the ash heaps of history never too be heard from again. 

Where are our great defenders the A.C.L.U.?  There silence is deafening.  Their founder; Roger Nash Baldwin a supporter of the Communist Party would not let this despicable propaganda go unchallenged.

Remember comrades, we destroyed Senator Joseph R. McCarthy in the 1950â€™s while attempting to exploit and expose us.

This should be an easy task.  We already have many supporters in positions of power. If we wish to control this country, then we must be more diligent in our efforts to stop this ABC film.

You must!.... I repeat, you must contact our comrades in arms at their offices in Washington.

		<description>What is everyone&#039;s problem with Bush?  He is the first President in a while to actually stand up for America.  If most of the people in this forum had their way, all laws would be outlawed and all law enforcers fired!!  Thank God we have a President that is looking out for for our people and our Nation.  I have no problem with wiretapping or treating the Gitmo babykillers like the dogs they are.  I have nothing to hide. Terrorists will not negotiate.(that&#039;s a PERIOD!)  Why do you want to try.  They don&#039;t like us because we are protecting ourselves and our way of life.  America has been protecting her way of life and national interests for over 100 years just like every other country in this world since the beginning of time.  Unfortunately, it is usually over natural resources, which we, ALL AMERICANS, scarf down on a daily basis.  You want to make a difference, then impose term limits for congress so we can get this country pointed in the right direction.</description>

		<description>#6 - you might want to read Rich Miles article He&#039;s Not Leaving 6/30/06 - you can find it on Buzzflash.  It details how dumbya will probably stay well past his second illegal term in office is up.  Something i have been saying since 2000.

Another good read about just how invasive the NSA spying is would be 27B Stroke 6 by Ryan Singel and Kevin Poulsen, also available on buzzflash or blog.wired.com/27BStroke6/index.blog.  From a command prompt type &quot;tracert (and any website)&quot;  it maps out what to look for if you are being monitored.  FYI - if you look at buzzflas, thinkprogress or michaelmoore.com - you ARE.  Most every site I look at is being monitored.

Now do you still think halliburton&#039;s $385 mill contract is building concentration camps just for illegal aliens?  The law has been changed to allow the residents of the camps to be forced into labor.  Sound like any mad man in power in the 1940&#039;s yet?</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;right on, marie!&lt;/strong&gt;

and more of this too:
&lt;em&gt;We need some serious investigations to bring things into the light. And, if we really want to fix the system, we need &lt;strong&gt;public financing of elections&lt;/strong&gt; and&lt;strong&gt; mandated controls on the media&lt;/strong&gt; with respect to elections. The networks got their airspace for fee with the caveat that they would provide a service to the public. Theyâ€™re not providing the service and maybe they need to pay.

		<description>madashell  #6

I&#039;ve been asking this same question since early 2005.  The Founding Fathers would be taking to the streets over the blatantly criminal activities of BushCo.  

I have often wondered what it would take for Americans to storm the Bastille, as it were, and physically remove this menace.  Romania 1989, anyone?  

What will it take for Americans to wake up?  Reinstitution of the draft?  Suspension or cancellation of national elections?

Regarding the latter scenario, does anyone really truly believe that he will go gentle into that good night?  All he has to do is repeat his old mantra &quot;9/11, 9/11, 9/11&quot; and voila-- suspension of the 2006 elections or the 2008 elections in the name of &quot;national security.&quot; 

People scoff when I present this scenario.  &quot;BUT THAT&#039;S ILLEGAL!&quot;  they insist; &quot;THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN!&quot;  

Since when has Bush ever cared about what&#039;s legal?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;unbelievable, I donâ€™t even know where to start with you. Youâ€™re a supposed science teacher who didnâ€™t even know that the Sun is in fact going to get warmer, 
Comment by Seixon â€” June 29, 2006 @ 4:17 pm &lt;/em&gt;

Don&#039;t be such a fifth grade science retard.  You&#039;ve been debunked already.  Just move on..  

You never said &quot;going to get&quot; you said &quot;is getting&quot;.  And you blamed it for Global Warming.  You can twist, but you cannot hide.  Silly little boy in very short pants and pink panties.  The sun is NOT responsible for Global Warming.  It will only get temporarily hotter for a brief moment in time some 5.5 billion years from now.  Not consequential to the conversation we were having about NOW.  

Okay, that was all of your rant I accidentally read while scrolling through.</description>
