I'm Pissed! Neocons want to control EVERYTHING!
They want to control my body, they want to control how I raise my children, they want to control what I watch on TV, they want to control the air that I breathe...in other words, they want to take my choices away!

I was taught in a christian household that god gave us the right to choose. Yet the same neo-con christians want to take this god given right away from us.

Time to go eat some comfort food.

To paraphrase John Cleese in "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life", You're not qualified!

5. Actually, they agree with you. They call it hegemony
and to make tyranny more palitable they refer to it as benevolent hegemony.

The really interesting thing is the World Bank has been used to create an empire of indebted nations for years. Putting Wolfowitz at the top of it only indicates how "safe" neocon philosophy is inside American and world organizations.

6. Take a lesson from blacks, gays, hippies, women and FIGHT THE POWER
Throughout time the elite in power have sought to control others. Idiot republicans subscribe to this kind of thinking. The reason I believe they do this is because they themselves are out of control. They choose to lie, cheat, and steal their way to the top. Being the morons that they are, they assume that all people are "bad", like them, and that we must be controlled. Fear not though, for we are NOTHING like them. Control is an illusion. They can only control you if you let them. It's time to side with all those who have been shit on by republican thinking from the past. By uniting blacks, gays, women, hippies and other rejects of republican society, we can take back the world from these republican criminals.

8. reTHUGlicans will go right ahead with the DRAFT now....


the reTHUGlicans are EMPOWERED that can so EASILY wipe out decades of environmental activism.....admit it....we were PULVERIZED....


next up: THE DRAFT....



reTHUGlicans KNOW it will be unpopular....but they don't care...since only 17 % of the "potential draftees" actually VOTED....and our young couldn't even mount enough power to defeat ANWR....



it's clear now....real clear...the DRAFT is coming next...reTHUGlicans NEED more cannon fodder for the upcoming bush* WARS......

12. Oh yes I agree
Why else did young people go overwhelmingly for Kerry? They knew he would get us out of Iraq ASAP and no more wars like Bush. My brother is 20 and I'm 22 and we're both very anti-Bush. I give it a few more months before they start having some sort of draft. I think how they'll do it is by doing a backdoor type of ordeal and by the time people realize what's going on it'll be too late. These people are tricky tricksters. They SAY their won't be a draft but with them everything they say publically is really opposite. So when Bush said "I repeat. We will not have a draft" you and I both know what he means but his little brainwashed followers believe him. Rule number one: NEVER believe a Bush.

13. today's generation of 'draftees' is already sold down the river....
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 07:51 PM by diamond14
OLD men make wars and YOUNG men fight wars....there's been very little objections to the opening of the draft boards, the escalation of bush* WARS, and the military recruitment of more CANNON FODDER....that won't change...most of the 'thumb' generation is already 'going like sheep to the slaughter'....


EXAMPLE

today, MOST parents allow military recruiters inside OUR high schools and colleges...there is simply NO RESISTANCE to bush* ongoing search for more CANNON FODDER....

compare the difference between today's 'potential draftees' and those of a generation that had some REAL COURAGEOUS activism (sadly lacking today)....


May 2, 1970...ROTC Building BURNED TO THE GROUND on Kent State campus...and the Kent State students BLOCKED THE FIRE TRUCKS, so they couldn't put the fire out....(Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) - the gateway to CANNON FODDER)...












May 2004...ROTC....gateway to IRAQ...more CANNON FODDER needed daily...today, everyone HONORS and cheers this HUGE loss...and WELCOMES the ROTC recruiters into all the schools (high school/college) with clapping and cheers...it's too sad...these people should be contributing to our society, rather than KILLING and being KILLED....

Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)

9. No, that's not what neocons want
Neocons are way above that petty stuff. It's not neocons who want to control your life, it's those religious nuts in the Repubican party that the neocons are more than happy to have distract you and manipulate you into either believing (drinking the koolaid) or being controlled by those who do.

The Straussians are above that. THEY are the leaders, they don't have to follow the rules. It's the common masses who need to be controlled by religion, etc.

10. I know how you feel
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 07:01 PM by FreedomAngel82
and you're right. God did give us freewill other wise we'd all be robots. These neocons are freaks and I'm disgusted. They obviously just don't get it. :argh: :nuke: :grr: Don't forget they also eventually want to take away the public schools and churches that are different then them (like UCOC and UU for example).
