kmehta86 (12:30:33 AM): his big conclusion at the end?
kmehta86 (12:30:50 AM): "i realize that the whole justification for war thing is shaky""
kmehta86 (12:31:11 AM): "but...you heard POWELL! THE UN!! THE VIAL OF ANTHRAX! i believed him...ii believed that they had WMD..."
kmehta86 (12:31:15 AM): i'm like...oh god you fuckin dumbass

kmehta86 (12:32:22 AM): one of them
kmehta86 (12:32:23 AM): today

kmehta86 (12:34:13 AM): but, yeah driving one of the cars
kmehta86 (12:34:14 AM): he worked hundreds of hours for the BC campaign
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:34:23 AM): oh he's one of THEM
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:34:39 AM): another of those poor misguided souls
kmehta86 (12:34:43 AM): i have no idea
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:34:52 AM): seriously

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:35:02 AM): getting into a debate about the war with a conservative...
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:35:13 AM): either A. digressed into bashing of liberal wimps
kmehta86 (12:35:27 AM): yeah
kmehta86 (12:35:34 AM): i've decided its impossible to debate anything with them
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:35:36 AM): or B. forgetting about the entire rationale for the war to begin with and make up shit up now to justify it after the fact
kmehta86 (12:35:57 AM): they just sit there and calmly go "no, that's not true, actually, no, you're wrong"
kmehta86 (12:35:58 AM): yeah
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:36:03 AM): case in point, MY experience
kmehta86 (12:36:04 AM): oh and one of them actually started pulling out crap about the UN
kmehta86 (12:36:15 AM): citing clauses from resolution 1441

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:36:24 AM): "The American people are stupid, they would have never supported a war of liberation, so it was smart and wise for President Bush to make Iraq into a threat"
kmehta86 (12:36:24 AM): claiming that since nobody vetoed it, technically the worlds poewers were behind the war
kmehta86 (12:36:25 AM): FUCKERS
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:36:35 AM): WTF?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:02 AM): oooh..a veto "abstention" that MUST mean silent agreement with the US!
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:25 AM): here's another line they use..."By spreading democracy, we're fighting terrorism"

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:31 AM): which is true...
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:33 AM): BUT
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:37 AM): how do you do that?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:37:48 AM): and they're like..."By toppling violent regimes"
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:38:12 AM): and im like "By topple violent regimes, you mean lie and distort the truth to get us into a war"
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:38:26 AM): god, they actually said this crap?

kmehta86 (12:38:50 AM): yeah they did
kmehta86 (12:38:56 AM): and i didn't even want to try and refute
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:39:00 AM): and they point to Libya giving up its WMD program and Lebanon's reform movement as "proof" that the Bush Doctrine works
kmehta86 (12:39:05 AM): i hjave a claculus final to study for

kmehta86 (12:39:05 AM): OH yeah listen to this
kmehta86 (12:39:10 AM): i tell him, "enumerate the reasons we went for war"
kmehta86 (12:39:17 AM): his answers:
kmehta86 (12:39:29 AM): first, spreading democracy
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:39:33 AM): i think i may have to debate this guy when we come up on Thursday
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:39:34 AM): HA
kmehta86 (12:39:35 AM): (so, do you just pick any random country)

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:39:37 AM): BULLSHIT
kmehta86 (12:39:41 AM): (what about south america?)
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:39:47 AM): SUDAN
kmehta86 (12:39:48 AM): "i'm not even going to consider south america
kmehta86 (12:39:49 AM): ...
kmehta86 (12:39:49 AM): alright, second
kmehta86 (12:39:56 AM): his second reason, they torture people
kmehta86 (12:40:04 AM): well, so did we
kmehta86 (12:40:05 AM): so did rwanda
kmehta86 (12:40:05 AM): so does China for god's sake

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:40:11 AM): then why do we outsource our torturing to the Syrians?
kmehta86 (12:40:15 AM): third
kmehta86 (12:40:15 AM): they had WMDs
kmehta86 (12:40:16 AM): THIRD
kmehta86 (12:40:20 AM): but somehow that's all we heard, prewar
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:40:27 AM): but of course
kmehta86 (12:40:27 AM): I KNOW
kmehta86 (12:40:27 AM): so i told him that
kmehta86 (12:40:29 AM): and he laughs at me
kmehta86 (12:40:35 AM): "oh the US doesn't torture people"

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:40:38 AM): god...where's the FUCKIN GODDAMN ACCOUNTABILITY
kmehta86 (12:40:50 AM): "Gunatanamo? are you kidding? its a luxury prison"
kmehta86 (12:41:01 AM): one of them even said "i'd go to guantaamo any day"
kmehta86 (12:41:01 AM): FUCKERS
kmehta86 (12:41:04 AM): yeah, when you come up
kmehta86 (12:41:09 AM): we'll knock on his ddoor

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:41:11 AM): its Club Fed for "enemy combatants"
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:41:15 AM): ABU GHRAIB
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:41:28 AM): i wonder if that rings any bells
kmehta86 (12:41:59 AM): of course not
kmehta86 (12:42:00 AM): it was an isolated incident
kmehta86 (12:42:00 AM): not the US' fault
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:42:45 AM): Rush Limbaugh: "It was just our guys letting go of a little steam"
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:43:09 AM): i wanna talk to this guy
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:43:28 AM): its been awhile since i honed my anti-Bush rhetoric in person and on the fly

kmehta86 (12:43:51 AM): yeah
kmehta86 (12:43:51 AM): it was fun
kmehta86 (12:44:13 AM): although i missed a lot of stuff
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:44:14 AM): it'd be nice to get some practice in...sometimes in colleges, with all the liberals around, you kinda miss being in the OC and having Republican idiots everywhere
kmehta86 (12:44:37 AM): and goddamn, they stonewall like crazy when they don't know jackshit

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:44:44 AM): but of course
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:44:57 AM): its called delaying
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:45:16 AM): so they can use that time to think of a half-assed answer
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:45:42 AM): your little debate, along with my own in the past, is a microcosm of the Kerry-Bush debates
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:46:33 AM): where...in front of millions of American citizens, REASON was able to win the day, instead of tired old campaign rhetoric and bullshit
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:47:05 AM): unfortunately for the 57 million who voted blue on November 2nd, Reason decided it didn't need to show up that Tuesday
kmehta86 (12:47:40 AM): yeah

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:47:53 AM): GOD
kmehta86 (12:47:57 AM): god
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:48:02 AM): this is getting me worked up
kmehta86 (12:48:03 AM): alright i dont have time to think about this
kmehta86 (12:48:07 AM): i have a calc final tomorrow

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:48:11 AM): good luck
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:48:15 AM): we will vent tomorrow
kmehta86 (12:48:16 AM): we will blow him apart Thursday
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:48:21 AM): oh damn right we will
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:49:00 AM): Reason will triumph
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:49:09 AM): Hope will triumph
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:49:15 AM): TRUE patriotism will triumph
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:49:30 AM): at least i PRAY TO GOD, it does
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:50:10 AM): somewhere...Thomas Jefferson is weeping

kmehta86 (12:51:07 AM): if God exists
kmehta86 (12:51:07 AM): how can he allow this?
kmehta86 (12:51:13 AM): how can he be happy with this?
kmehta86 (12:51:52 AM): i mean, i beieve in God, and i trust that he will set things right, overall
kmehta86 (12:52:40 AM): but, things like this lead me to question exactly what IS His purpose? what is he trying to do or say here?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:53:00 AM): a test of our faith and patience
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:53:16 AM): he did say there would be false prophets preaching in His name

kmehta86 (12:53:20 AM): quite some test
kmehta86 (12:53:34 AM): yeah
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:53:36 AM): *cough* crazy right wing fundies *cough*
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:54:25 AM): there is nothing conservative, principled, or moral about the presidency of George W. Bush
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:55:07 AM): every policy action, every speech, every promise is a calculated move to project and preach compassion, integrity, and conviction
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:55:52 AM): unfortunately, that false and deceptive perception of strong leadership is a far cry from reality

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:56:23 AM): the reality is more hypocrisy and unaccountability than anything else
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:57:24 AM): i mean...if Congress really cares about the disabled and least advantaged people of this country, how about they start by giving them affordable health care?
kmehta86 (12:57:58 AM): haha, did you see the DS today?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:58:06 AM): or stop ballooning our fuckin federal deficit by billions every fiscal year

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:58:11 AM): of course
kmehta86 (12:58:13 AM): "rather than do nothing for everyone, we're going to do something for ONE person"
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:58:17 AM): that's where i got the line from
kmehta86 (12:58:23 AM): oh yeah
kmehta86 (12:58:23 AM): that to
kmehta86 (12:58:26 AM): i mentioned deficits

kmehta86 (12:58:39 AM): andf they go "well, we always increase spending"
kmehta86 (12:58:40 AM): "the thing is, we'rre at war!"
kmehta86 (12:58:46 AM): "but wars help the economy"
kmehta86 (12:58:49 AM): "so you see, everyhing works oout"
kmehta86 (12:59:00 AM): i'm like are you FUCKING joking me here?

Lost In SoCal 86 (12:59:10 AM): War helps the WAR PROFITEERS
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:59:22 AM): yay Halliburton?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:59:30 AM): for overcharging the American taxpayer?
Lost In SoCal 86 (12:59:32 AM): woohoo?

kmehta86 (1:04:04 AM): bwahahaha
kmehta86 (1:04:09 AM): we must prepare for the showdown
Lost In SoCal 86 (1:04:47 AM): in a stunning move, the Democratic Party has turned over its Congressional leadership to two college freshmen with absolutely no political experience

Lost In SoCal 86 (1:05:24 AM): Chairman Howard Dean praises the new decision, "As a bold and daring move that will definitely shake up the Beltway"
kmehta86 (1:07:00 AM): indeed
Lost In SoCal 86 (1:07:26 AM): the two students were given lavishly appointed Senate offices that were generously vacated by Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer

kmehta86 (1:07:47 AM): haha
