Hello Gary,

>GP>Nope, Libertarian.

>LL>"I am the voice of dissent!" - Noam Chomsky

>LL>That kind of Libertarian?

GP>No, I don't think so.  He praises libertarian socialism,
GP>which I see is a form of anarchism.

There is also Ron Paul.  He praisess libertarian fascism,
which can also be seen as a form of anarchism.

GP>I'm a constitutional libertarian.

An interesting term.  What (US) constitution might that be?
The constitution of the late 1700's?  The constitution of
the mid 1800's?  The constitution of the early 1900's?  Geez.
The constitution keeps changing with the times...

>LL>You want to talk about domestic policies.  Okay.  9-11 saved
>LL>the presidency of GWB, which had gotten off to a horrible start,

GP>I remember those days, and I felt we were reacting too much on emotion.

The very first thought (emotion) that came to my head upon seeing
the carnage of 9-11 was one of extreme sorrow.  The second thought
(emotion) was that of revenge.  I wanted whoever had done that to
pay dearly.  Not life in prison with no benefit of parole.  I wanted
blood.  Real blood.  So did just about every American on this planet.

When President George W. Bush stood between those two giant
firemen in NYC, what did he tell the American people on national
television?  "Go shopping."  "Hug your children."  Then he tells
us Islam is a religion of peace.

Oh, our fine preznit sent troops to Afghanistan.  But did he catch the
one who claimed responsibility for the atrocities of 9-11?  Nah.  GWB
had better things to do.  Such as doing a complete turnaround and going
after the "Butcher of Baghdad" - who had absolutely nothing to do with
the events of 9-11.

GP>I did feel a response was warranted, as no country should
GP>have such a thing happen and do nothing.

George W. Bush walked away and went after a guy (Saddam Hussein)
who had absolutely nothing to do with the events of 9-11.  How does
that make you feel?  How many American lives were lost so that GWB
could be happy?

George W. Bush said we needed to go after Saddam Hussein because
"I know stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction exist in Iraq."
No such stockpiles of WMD have ever been found.  Yet our president
said he knew such stockpiles of WMD exist.  How did he know that
and then not be able to show the world the evidence of what he
claimed he knew to be a fact?

Our military went along with the whims of GWB, giving him everything
he wanted.  Our members of Congress (regardless of party) went along
with the whims of GWB, giving him everything he wanted.  Our Supreme
Court justices went along with the whims of GWB, giving him everything
he wanted.  We had, in effect, a dictatorship.  Without ever realizing
it.  The dictator had taken away our rights in the name of freedom.
The dictator was "The Decider", who would decide everything for us.
In fact, he told us exactly that, so as there would be no doubt -

"I am The Decider." - George W. Bush

It may be hard to imagine, but we the people went along with the
whims of GWB, giving him everything he wanted.  And then we thanked
him.

Well, except for black folks.
And survivors of Katrina.
And former residents of New Orleans.

But hey.  George W. Bush is not a racist.  Gets really mad at
those who call him a racist.  So be careful.  Especially if you
are a rapper.

President Barack Obama's approval rating is at roughly 60% right
now.  ObL is history, the economy picking up steam, people able to
return to work.  Our troops will soon be coming home from both
Iraq and Afghanistan.  Celebrations at home will begin, as families
everywhere are reunited.  Babies will be born.  Our nation's first
multiracial president will lead an even more multiracial society
for a much longer time than the continually diminishing white crowd
ever thought possible...

Common in the White House.
Sean Hannity is having a fit.
Don't you love it?

Rap on, bro'!

GP>But, I don't think the full military should have been issued.

You are right.  Absolutely right.

An international hit squad is all that was required.  Acting on direct
orders from the godfather.  Known in this country as our preznit.  What
orders should he give?  "Terminate.  With extreme prejudice."  The hit
squad will take it from there.  They know what to do, and how to do it.

The news media, United Nations, and all the governments of the world
can call this hit squad an "international police force".  These police
are very special, and go after international criminals.  These criminals
will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.  They will be found, and
brought to justice.  No matter how long it takes.

GP>I think we would have been much more effective in simply using the CIA
GP>and small, discrete special forces black ops.  Probably would have been
GP>much more effective, at much less cost, and the rest of the country
GP>could focus on our domestic problems.

Doesn't matter what we call this international police force.
You want to call it "the CIA and small, discrete special forces
black ops"?  That's fine by me.  Muslims might not like it and
start raising holy hell.  But who cares?
