' [b]An Addiction to WAR, an Obsession with Power, Is Crippling America[/b]Why is it that members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, are not voicing strong opposition to these wars and their tremendous costs to America? That's because this Congress has been invaded and occupied by the profiteers of war, from Wall Street to K Street to the corporations of the defense industry. The majority of these controlled legislators dare not do anything that would threaten the defense industries located in their states or districts. They will tolerate war, the loss of U.S. troops, the tragic deaths of innocent civilians and the colossal costs involved in order to protect their jobs; questions of morality are irrelevant to them.
This situation has now become completely unbearable and these masters of war must be stopped before the damage they inflict on America becomes irreparable. The key question is how to do it; is there any conceivable way to stop them? Well, based on the evidence at hand there are three potential scenarios that might materialize and provide a solution.

Rick:
numan is laboring under a basic misconception. He truly believes that opednews.com has news and not opinion in it; in other threads he continues to talk to himself about these things and no one seems to pay him any heed. Perhaps we have overpaid heed in all the threads.
The reality is that he has only one issue: hatred and contempt for the country that nurtured him and educated him, and upon which he has turned both his back and his mind. Of the two I think the back is less odious.
Take the nacilbupeR pledge: I solemnly swear that I will help back out all Republicans at the next election.

I have noted that those poor people who do not possess a sense of humor are quite prone to mistake satire for hatred.
Anyway, how could my gentle ribbing of a Behemoth running totally amok compare with the hatred of those who cannot stand to read truth about their native country?
---eh?

' Oh...it's all been satire! Whoddah thunk it? Our bad. Don't feel too bad. Lack of a sense of humor is a national disability in the United States, and has much to do with the dreadful state of the nation. Americans will just need to recognize and adapt to their handicap in order to survive.

Think of it this way :
Where would American freedom and liberty be if it weren't for people like me? You need people like me, selfless and oblivious to the stings of unmerited scorn, who will persist in telling you unwelcome truths. You need to exercise your flabby American muscles of tolerance, humor and good fellowship. Otherwise, America would be (as it almost is) one vast, cloying drone of self-praise, from sea to shining sea.
I am the grain of sand in the oyster, whose irritating presence produces the pearl of American liberty and freedom.
