So the government is entering a deal they supposedly researched to no end in selling out several ports to an Arab company to run. And our President, who put so much thought into this project, didn't even HEAR about it until it was in the approval stages. His source of information? The news media.
We're in the middle of a war on terrorism because of 9/11 and this schmuck is looking to outsource our admittedly WEAKEST point of security. Now, it may just be me, but I think our government has finally reached all-new levels of stupid. Webster is gonna need to invent a new word for this level of stupidity.

To be honest, I'm not so much sure that the guys running our country now are "stupid" so much as insanely greedy and grotesquely arrogant.
Forget "security"--the deal probably was heavily researched, and the research turned up this point: a lot of people the current Administration is tight with stand to make assloads of money.
The arrogance comes in when people actually questioned the idea--their response essentially boiled down to "How dare you question us." It's a little harder to play their favorite misdirect card in this case ("...If you don't agree with us, you must be some sort of terrorist sympathizer") but they're used to the sheep trusting them when they say "Trust us. We have your best interests at heart." And since less and less believe that now, thus the trouble that has brewed.

They always will be, Fritz....Democrat, Republican, AND Libertarian. I wouldn't fool yourself into thinking otherwise. Most (and rightly so, most of the time) believe the public to be uneducated cattle that stampede at the slightest provocation. For the most part, sad to say, they're right....most of the people that know better (present company included) are too few and far between. There never will be a good candidate. Personally, I think we need another Reagan. (waits patiently for flame posts) |

Could help sway democracy and vote for me when I run. I'm reasonably intelligent. I'm just extremely poor.

I hate to disgress but I 'm starting to wonder in the Team Leads in Target are taking tips to run a store like the Bush campaigns, oy ! If you want to see Port Stupid go to Target in Trussville,Alabama, what a bunch of Nazi barring hypocrites that runs to the store,yet they try to understand a person's personal feeling or their concepts. They would rather pretend to understand, yet try to stiffle somebody's personality in order to make them into drones. I could have made a post about the errors of Tarhet, the very store I have worked for two years,but I didn't know if this was the right forum to posts this on.  |

Personally, I think we need another Reagan. (waits patiently for flame posts) Reagan had his moments of shadiness, but all in all he (and even more to an extreme Bush the First) didn't do such a bad job in the historical viewpoint. The nightmare of the 70s came to an end, and our economy was on the upswing throughout Reagan's two terms. I remember Weekly World News ran a cover showing a decomposing Reagan as the "Re-animated Republican candidate for 2008!" as no living man can run three times. The loophole was that old Ronnie is already dead, so he'd living a second lifetime. |
