I about lost it when they were all agreeing on nuclear strikes on Iran. Nuclear strikes. Really. We got through the cold war without firing a nuke (when we had a REAL threat, Iran is not even comparable to the USSR in full bloom) and we're gonna go ahead and say it's an option for dealing with Iran.
Double Guantanamo? What? Why? What happened? Did 9/11 drive us so batshit crazy that we're going to chase shadows and peel wallpaper for the rest of our days? I know a great deal of you may not have as much respect as I do for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but he did have a firm grasp of the effect of fearmongers. Oldie, but goodie.
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
For 1 domain name fuck ya I'll take you up on that! (Assuming shes of age of course) Please include an extra slice of bread for extra fees, thanks.
As for highlife's comment - I think they're absolutely nuts. Anyone that votes for someone in support of nuclear war should be locked up in the crazy house, as well as the politicians supporting it.

Still interesting how 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the United States border. But I'm just messing with you. Everyone down here loves Canada. Just as Homer Simpson put it, "America Jr."
Its always weird hearing about the Federal Reserve since my step-dad actually works for the FRB...
But the simple fact that we don't know whats going on with the Federal Reserve is scary on its own.
We should go back to a bartering system
If you really wanna know whats going on with the Federal Reserve,go reading
"Secrets of the Federal Reserve - The London Connection" by Eustace Mullins.
Its insane to see how the US people was sold by the US Gov in the last century,Rothschild and his London buddys really have done an awesome job,for them.And they are still into it.
And as for going back to the Gold Standart,thats just plain ridiculously,if Ron Paul really did suggest that,he is an dickhead like all others;well actually they are all dickheads anyway.
The Gold Standart was intruced to the world in 1944 by the Bretton Woods Agreement,a meeting of 44 nations to create a institutional arrangement for governing the international economy in the years after WWII.(wich only happened because the London guys and their east coast Bankers wanted so).The Agreement consisted of 3 main points:
1.The gold standart,a system where the value of a currency was fixed to the value of gold.
2.The fixing of exchange rates among currencies,allowed to float 1 percent
3.The formation of international authorities to help fair trade and int. economic harmony (IMF,World Bank,GATT)
In August 1971 the Bretton Woods system was officialy abandoned ,because the ongoing US trade deficit and debt(Vietnam has his part in this) forced a devalued dollar and could not stand any longer a fixed gold/usd exchange rate.
So after Bretton Woods was gone,Nixon came up with his Smithsonian Agreement in December 1971,wich consists in a system to maintain fixed
exchange rates without the backing of gold,allowed to float 2.25 percent.
It didnt last long.In the light of an ongoing grow of US trade deficit and debt,high inflation and unemployment and the middle east conflicts(OPEC)
,the US dollar needed to be devalued beyond the 2.25 percent.
Those problems leaded to the forced close of the Foreign exchange markets
in feb 1972,until they reopened in march 73,but this time without any agreements or implemented systems,allowing the markets entirely to determine the value of currencys.
Thats a bit about the Gold standart and Foreign Exchange (wich it was made for) History.So if any politican comes up with"going back to gold standart",you should really ask yourself:is that fucker kidding me?
And as Lazy said: GO FUCKING VOTE !
wow that was my longest post i guess,gonna stop that rant now and
head back to work
ps:if anyone wants to read the book mentioned above,check amazon,emule or pm me
you absolutly hitted the nail on the top,its not that the gov has power over the Fed,its that the Gov gave to much power to the Fed wich is a private institution,hold by the biggest bank houses of the world.
Ron Paul is THE FUCKING MAN! Its nice to finally see a politician who is consistant, honest, and logical. What I really like about him is that his stance for just about everything is less government intervention which is what actually causes most of the problems we have today.
