Reply #16: Some people, who never read the resolution that Manuel Zelaya actually proposed [View All]

for an advisory vote of the Honduran people, say that he was trying to lift his own term limit.

Some people, who find no fault with a country--Colombia--where the military and its death squads have slaughtered thousands of union leaders, peasant farmers, human rights workers, teachers and others--say that Chavez (who has harmed no one) is a "dictator."

Some people, who say that Chavez is a "dictator," say that Chavez is not dictatorial enough when it comes to street crime, inflation, corruption and other problems. (If he's a "dictator," why doesn't he "dictate" deflation and good behavior?)

Some people say that there is no U.S. military buildup in South America. :rofl:

Some people say that the Colombian government/military is not a narcoterrorist organization. :rofl:

Some people say that the USAID/CIA is not larding multi-millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on rightwing groups all over South America, including the military coup leaders in Honduras, the white separatists who tried to secede from Bolivia, and numerous coup and assassination plotters in targeted democratic countries.

Some people say that Cuban doctors in South America on humanitarian missions are spying for Havana but they don't say WHY.
(Think about this. They're invited to, say, Bolivia, to help staff new medical clinics for the poor--in a friendly alliance between the two countries, Bolivia and Cuba--and Cuba would SPY on Bolivia...why? Spy on WHAT? To what advantage for Cuba, or disadvantage to Bolivia? This is a new one, to me, so I'm trying to figure it out--although figuring out rightwing 'talking points' is sometimes a useless exercise. They often don't make sense. Bolivia kicked the U.S. ambassador and the DEA out of the country, for colluding with the white separatists who tried to secede from Bolivia last year, so there's not much U.S. activity in Bolivia for Cuba to spy on. Doctor spies, wow. Spying on high cholesterol and gum disease in Bolivia? Spying on the talent in the barrios that might make it to the national soccer team, to give Cuba's national soccer team an unfair advantage? Nope, I don't get this one.)

Some people say that President Barack Obama kills more people every week than Carlos the Jackal killed in his whole life, but "we need to look forward not backward"--from week to week, forgetting what has been done in our name last week, by a President whom we elected to end Bush's wars.

Some people say that Carlos Jackal is in prison because he supports the PLO, and Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are not in prison because...um..."we need to look forward not backward"???

Some people say that they should let Carlos the Jackal out of prison because what he did was IN THE PAST, and, "looking forward," how can we jail someone for PAST actions?

Some people say that we should let all prisoners out of prison for this reason--what they were convicted of was IN THE PAST, and "we need to look forward, not backward."

Some people say that Barack Obama is a leftist revolutionary because of this, however, some other people say that, until he applies his new rule of law--"looking forward not backward"--to poor prisoners, and not just to super-rich, super-powerful, truly heinous criminals--he is a counter-revolutionary.

Some people say that the Forever War will never end. The "cannon fodder" on their way to Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Colombia, and other points north, south, east and west, would probably agree.
