Reply #154: Cold War 2.0

[Javaman]

Communism has been replaced with radical islamic fundamentalism.

A new "domino theory" has been rehashed and being served to us in the form of yet another type of fear. Islamic extremism is threating to take over the universe!!

Who is a sympathizer?? Who was a member of the American Islamic Party? Who give support to the Islamics during the Afghan-Russian war??

The list goes on and on.

Like Truman who passed the cold war to Eisenhower to Kennedy to LBJ to Nixon, etc, etc, etc we are seeing nothing more then the same bullshit rehashed, repackaged and resold.

Those of us who know better are squelched as "bitter old timers" out of touch with reality and the new focus is on the young who know nothing of history nor do they want to know.

Like my dad said when ray-gun came into office, "the war brain washing has begun". He knew. He was a life long pacifist, He saw through all the bullshit and he taught me well.

We are now into the permanent war. War now drives our economy, we have nothing else. It's what keeps the dollar afloat. It's what pays the bills, creates jobs and keeps the massed distracted.

I had my hopes with Obama, but he's now defaulted back to the tried and true bullshit, that served moron* well.

Our economy is still hemorrhaging, yet, the power of war and all it's grand stupidity, still sells soap.

Like someone else said, "what happens after two years?" Exactly, what does happen after two years more of this colossal pile of bullshit war? If it's still failing are we going to be treated to yet another excuse as to why the US, the earth and the universe will explode if we leave?

Folks, war is about money and right now, it's the only thing we have. Very sad to say.
