No one should be shocked generally well known or suspected at the time definitely not the result of some single revelation. You can pull the most outrageous crap in public and walk away free. Opposition gets labeled conspiracy theorists.

It still goes on, dissolution of the United States Constitution in the form of a trade deal for every one to see and all you get is a whimper.

This is how crime works in the 21st century when a crime is committed go all out walk away just be sure to be so audacious in what you have done it does not matter who believes what just happened.

The Patriot Act and the Iraq War were decided on before 911. Enough evidence exists we knew about 911 well before it happened...in triplicate. If people are too lazy or afraid to reorganize their precious belief systems then that's their program. Coincidence Theorists are highly annoying.

It really, really made me want to break a window and toss a bag of live rats inside. Or cockroaches. Or something.

On the other hand, camping and fishing and eating at diners, talking to locals for a week or so on that same trip, I learned that they were none too crazy about the guy, didn't like his policies, thought he had lost touch with his roots....and that was years before the offense of his carpetbagging daughter running for the Senate (I knew from the git that would never go anywhere) (especially after her lying about a fishing license! A real resident would never make that mistake).

I've never said this about anyone, but I would happily dance on his grave. There are no words to describe the depths of my hatred for this pond scum. I'm glad it's after 5:00 pm because having looked at his photo, I now need a drink.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Tue May 26, 2015, 10:42 AM
May 2015

Esp. this stanza
( the phrase "got caught by the chill" refers to the then draft)

Well there was an old man sitting in his mansion on the hill
And he thought of his good fortune and the time he'd yet o kill
Well he called to his wife one day, "Come sit with me awhile"
Then turning toward the sunset, he smiled a wicked smile
"Well I'd like to say I'm sorry for the sinful deeds I've done
But let me first remind you, I'm a patriotic son"
They tried to do their duty and it took 'em straight to hell
They might be in some prison, I hope they're treated well

The songs of the wars are as old as the hills
They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills
They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks
In a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs

The train pulled away on that glorious night
The drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight
While the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer
While riding off to glory in the spring of their years

The patriot's dream still lives on today
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills

the PAC crowd should have all stood in the docket at the Hague, if THIS POTUS had insisted on that you intimate by calling him traitor, Obama would have, by the racists and DINO's, been impeached the next day and NOTHING would have ever been accomplished, nothing in his two terms.

Don't get me wrong, I DO NOT agree with everything he is trying to accomplish before he is an ex-POTUS, on this issue I stand with his decision.

this POTUS from day one has faced UNPRECEDENTED obstructionism and almost NO support from his Party. The POTUS may have had the country at his back, but he damn sure didn't have his Party at his back. No, my prism and/or historical hindsight is a lot clearer on what has happened these last 6+ years, than yours, evidently. He has had no legislative support, no judicial findings favoring civil and human rights. Okay, believe what you may, your right. And I believe he could have NEVER been up to snuff with a lot of people here and for sure in the general RW public, because of the two hill climb so familiar with POC. Have a good one.

All that's left is history. And if there is any justice in this universe, Cheney will go down alongside Caligula, Nero, Vlad the Impaler, Stalin, Pol Pot et al. But the name "Dick Cheney" should always lead this list of bloodthirsty, evil tyrants. I truly believe this miserable prick would have licked his lips at doing some actual hands on "enhanced interrogation." What a miserable member of our species he is.

Nothing.

That would include his Halliburton send off bonus for USVP and all the money he personally made on Hallibuton & other defense stocks during his vice presidential terms. There was no "blind trust" He kept & knew he had Halliburton stock. It wasn't just his friends who war profiteered.
He lied Americans into a war that multiplied his own personal fortune obscenely. Americans deserve to be informed about how many million (or billions) Cheney profited off the war he created.
