Heroin would probably be an alternative if I was to think about walking into a tavern and expressing my opinion with your “constituency”, at least according to you. These guys wear brown shirts, by any chance?
Perhaps you have an “analytical” grasp on the TRUE cost of the current system? Within, say, a $100,000,000,000? I count 11 zeros there, imx. Hey, that’s just 100 billion, one year’s CONSERVATIVE (pardon the pun) cost of the Iraq war. What if, for that, ANYONE’s child can receive care?
No brainer. Let’s treat the children in Iran and N.Korea, maybe, just maybe…? Hmmmm, what if THAT was cost effective? What if you could even keep your house on the hill,, and have a nice vacation once a year? No. I thought so.I’m a vet and a Missouri boy. So, how about this? Clean slate. No CIA/contra/united fruit/Chiquita history. No overthrow of a democracy in Guatemala. No hanging “tight” with the likes of Noriega and Saddam.
Clean slate.
NOW, anyone got a problem with you USofA citizens telling your CIA and Pentagon to quit mucking around in other countries politics AND supporting military coups? No bashing. Just hoping these folks actually get to have a say in their own futures without…well,
you get the idea.
Can I get an Amen?So, this dude was impeached? Is that not the legal removal of a sitting president, impeachment? One more nagging thought. Our 22nd Amendment. What is it an amendment to? Oh, our constitution. You mean you can change a constitution? Effect a change that affects term limits of a president? Who allowed that? Wow. How was that done? I’m not for tit or tat here, I’m just curious how certain political elements of our society feel compelled to follow a certain line of thought, to include personal and derogatory character assassinations. Wholesale, I might add. Shall we add up the individuals or organizations who actually do matter in this event who have been “slammed” by an obviously ideologically driven viewpoint that truly matters not a twit? Is there anyone left out? Also curious how this falls exactly in line with pap delivered by “entertainers” who have found a public willing to pay them millions to voice such views. On loan from GODDDDDDD, no less.
So, Jesus. Walk on water. Good historical context.
I’m gonna ask again. Who (in the form of a person of status on the Central American or world stage) or what government has come out in support of this coup?
You have someone in mind better suited and more acceptable to both parties? Throw a name out there.
I think that a country with no army should take pride in that their leader (whoever he is) is in a position to possibly contribute to peace. I take pride, in my way and without presumption, for the Costa Ricans. It deserves respect and honors them. Funny how the same path and choices leads us to such disparate possibilities. Actually, not funny at all. Strange.Hi IMX. So, your position is that the President of Costa Rica (I’m just not on a first name basis with world leaders), a Nobel Prize recipient for brokering peace in Central America, is NOT qualified to step forward?
Is it also your position that having business and diplomatic ties with China and Cuba is NOT in the best interests of Costa Rica?Hmmmm, living that close to a Central American president. One minute, that safest place, the next…?
Sergio Mendez to ratatattat.Why thank you, I haven’t been patronized in, well, minutes. Perhaps your well thought out and researched and so very obviously objective opinion generating cornucopia of wisdom (LOL) can answer the question, has ANY country recognized this government? What do we seem to have left here, with your relegating of the OAS and UN and beau coup other authorities to the ineffective, benign and basically worthless scrap pile?
Oh the REAL authorities with their established vision of the world. I’m glad we got an “in” that fills us in.
I thank you, I’ll sleep better.Scott, the thing you and I have to admit about the dumb as a bowling ball prez the world just got relieved of…we knew where he was coming from. “you are with me, or against me”. HIS people did JUST FINE, thank you. His sire, George of one term, was actually shocked that he wasn’t a shoe-in for a second term, as the same maxim applied. HIS people did just fine, thank you.
I just wish the lot had the class to just disappear with their billions but then again, they are mad I still have 11 dollars in my right pocket. They ain’t quite got it all. Actually, they might be right. What am I doing with bills that say IN GOD WE TRUST, and they are obviously God’s representatives on earth. Ask their followers and apologists. I need more humility.
In the meantime, yes, they are liars and war criminals and should be tried. The evidence is in, even for the blind.Edited on Jul 08, 2009 19:20
And the OAS, the UN security council, et al, are bad company? Has any government, anywhere, recognized this government? Curious state of affairs. Are they all teamed up against something so “legal”? Hell of a deal.
I may be wrong, but I believe that Secretary Clinton accepted US involvement (as an end user) in the drug trade and that this has contributed to the subversion of law and order in Mexico. Is there an argument against that? How about the same being true in Columbia, Panama, Guatemala, and Honduras? It is just as ridiculous to deny the drug money pouring out of the states is a predicate to the situation as it is for US citizens to be given responsibility for the violence of the traffickers. It is a problem for ALL of us.Hi Don. In our chain of command, who is your commander in chief? If the CinC ordered you to stand down, do you pull out your copy of the Constitution; obey that colonel in your unit; or…? I didn’t realize the US military answered to the House Unamerican activities committee, much less obeyed their orders to mutiny against the CinC. Let’s throw in the Supreme Court. Where’s your duty? As to the closely monitoring by our attaches and CIA, this would suggest contact and dialogue with cabals/juntas, would it not? In the US, how would we look at this? I don’t have a clue, right now, which is the best solution for the people of Honduras. I’m just holding to some standard the people who represent me, and maybe, you.
Ergo, the other 50% mentally operate on the world stage? YOU know what’s going on? From the day you walk into boot camp, the military begins a mental process. This is to teach the recruit thru the generals to think different. That 50% you seem to be patronizing pay and elect others to think different, so they can lead what they believe is normal lives.
Why them, grb? Why not your leaders who are paid to understand, do you not hold to task? That 50% you augustly relegate to disdain are made up of an amazing percentage of folks who catch your fish, farm your crops, cut your lumber. Yeah, the same folks we have stood by and watched while their livelihoods and families are destroyed.
Intellect is a biothch…
