Barns — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:19:49 GMT

Barns has again had as house guest a senior U.S. Army man, just back from his second tour to Iraq. You all should talk to him for all the hours Barns has.

HOW the war is being fought and THE RESULTS ON THE GROUND THERE are vastly different than reported by the media.

And really eye opening.

Just ask the military two questions:

1. Should the U.S. and its allies be in Iraq?

2. Are we accomplishing good things there and are the Iraqi people really appreciative of our presence there?

Care to guess the answers?

RESOUNDING YES AND YES! Topic: $1,250.00 vs. $39,000,000,000.00 ($39 Billion).

For some really painful also meaningful historical perspective - one needs historical perspective to THOUGHTFULLY MOVE FORWARD (more on that below), I suggest reading MEETING AT POTSDAM (Charles Mee). A dipsomatic (drunkard) Stalin made Truman and Churchill look positively amateurish.
To ignore history is to invite it to repeat itself. That might be the achilles heel of the Obama doctrine. He has not historical perspective.
Hope and pray that some of the Clinton crowd he is surrounded himself with have been reading their history books. Topic: STALIN IS #1 FAVORITE IN RUSSIA !! And Tom Cruise in the U.S.?

Perhaps if Jackson loses this lawsuit, the foolish Sheik can compel him to make beautiful music ??? Likely in Arabic. Hmmm. Now there is a high concept. Jackson begins an entirely new and exceptinally lucrative career. Recording Muslim hymns and folk songs. You know, what started out as a [not very clever] couple lines may just have some serious merit. I will now wait, breathlessly, for Jackson's check as compensation for giving him a new career. And watch that check bounce from continent to continent. Topic: MICHAEL JACKSON SCREWS THE POOCH! AGAIN ....

Barns — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:53:03 GMT
Time will tell IF and HOW MUCH the Obama govt. will regress to a more moderate mean. Beyond a very short term, this country will not tolerate a leftist/Socialist government. Given Pelosi, Reed and the new Congress, that "short term" will be defined in election cycles.
As to Obama, we all MUST pray for his well being!
Let me remind you of an old story, Grizz. You know about the entire village codling the "village idiot". The entire population of the village speaks of the idiot. Yet they embrace him because he is "their" idiot.
Obama is no idiot nor anybody's fool. On the contrary, he is very bright, equally manipulative and coated in enough teflon to be very effective.
Let us all hope that he succeeds with a minimum amount of erosion to the social/economic/political structure of this country.
Of course, the economic structure of this country, SPECIFICALLY SOME OF ITS INSTITUTIONS, can use a ton of rust removers and WD40. Topic: TAKE A DEEP BREATH .....

Barns — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 06:14:33 GMT
The most glaring contrast is the quality of the two campaigns.
Never ever in the history of presidential politics did a freshman/novice/fundamentally lacking candidate mount such an amazing campaign.
This was George Bush's PLAYBOOK IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Never since my high school years have I seen a campaign as poorly thought out and even more pathetically executed as McCain's.
And then there was the final astounding faux pas: Palin.
It is astounding that a seasoned politico such as McCain can PANIC to that extent. To pick Palin to simply neutralize the Obama acceptance speech, to make such an ordinary marketing choice in such an astounding emotional manner is a critical failure of judgement.
Do we want his finger on the button?
Do we want Obama's finger on the button, assuming he knows where it is and WHERE IT IS that the button may be pointed at?
He now does. He just has NO HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE OR PERSPECTIVE.

Barns — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:56:13 GMT
Come now, 'burgermiester' . One of Barns' blogger buds [kinda] - you can find him ... just give your Google a workout - asked of a McCain supporter: "Are you telling us that you are not a righteous person? That you are not a patriot? That you are not seeing the absolute and total transformation of government and the USA before your very eyes? Are you a non-believer in the era of Obama? Are you blind to the inevitable? Are you not willing to pay more taxes so that people who make less money than you do can also live a middle class life?"
Yup. That is really what he asked.
This has nothing to do with who Barns may or may not vote for. This is a very circuitous response to your question. Topic: The U.Socialist.S.A.

Hello there, whoever you are.
Parenthetically speaking, an irrelevant rant made anonymously, well, a tad on the lame side.
You leapt from ignorance to arrogance without nary a brief stop at intelligence.
1. READ THE TOPIC AGAIN. Clearly you did not read it carefully.
2. Formulate another post that addresses the matter of the topic.
3. If you have a STATEMENT or EDITCT to share, suggest that as a topic for Ctoads. We will evaluate it and if we think it intelligent and of interest to our participants, we will publish it.

Shall we read the topic together? Nah. You read it again on your own. Then come back to me with more.
Oh yes. If the bucks would flow to YOU and ME, we might become intellectually dishonest and stop painting lipstick on this pig.
Let Barns share something with you. HE IS NOT AMONG THE 47% OF AMERICANS WHO FILE PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURNS AND PAYS NO TAXES. Thus, he is not going receive a tax reduction. Rather, he anticipates a 23% tax increase.
Somebody else will get benefits therefrom.
OK. Back to the meat. Please re-read the topic and come back. Cool? Topic: The U.Socialist.S.A.

The reality is likely that the fine CountryWide sales person who made the loan disclosed NOTHING to her other than how lucky she was that CountryWide was making that loan possible for her. Yes. The loan officer was corrupt. That leaves a personal issue and shared guilt: somebody signed the loan docs., including the financial statement that went with it. Hoping for the best. Likely she did not understand the clever loan they sold her and signed a very creative loan application as well. Topic: GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL!

Your comment about not hearing the same indignation re. religious right in this country is irrelevant to the topic. If Barns wanted to rag on that, you can be sure he would have.
All religious zealotry is unacceptable. Simple enough?
A "minor" observation for you, given your persistence of finding nothing redeeming about any U.S. institution or its people. YOu cannot possibly draw a moral equivalency between islamo-fascism (read that as getting your head lopped off) and anything that the religious right professes in the U.S.
