    On the last Colbert Report show, you can see scores of celebrities singing.
    Henry Kissinger is there. He is the only one not participating in the
    singing. His heart is so calloused that a song cannot pass from his lips.

    This man’s whole life has been spent practicing deceptions on others. With
    such adherence to that practice are we to suppose that he’s not ultimately
    deceiving himself most.

    The opportunity to effect other’s lives is a self-satisfying indulgence
    practiced by the shallowest of people; the call themselves the powerful.
    Some have an existence aside from it, but man do not.

    Henry Kissinger is a syphilitic blister on the shank of humankind’s penis.

    Altruistic… Does that word still exist, or is it because we’re watching
    at a year 99 speech???
    There’s so much subtile hatred in people that praise for altruism, that
    it’s healthier just to avoid them, and not be contaminated with the worst
    disease called: hate against (our own) nature…

    The US allways had and allways will have the stupidest inhabitants
    (politicians included especially).

    Stop watching and reading the wrong people, beware of the ‘good’ people,
    they HATE the ‘not-good-people’ (according to their sick opinion) than
    ‘bad’ people could possibly hate.

    Calling people evil makes you evil!!! I’m wrong: it makes you convert
    yourself (voluntarily, however unconsciously) into evil (mostly without
    realizing it).

    WOW! Another terrific interview. President Obama is the smartest guy in
    the room, head & shoulders above the rest.
    His analysis of Idealism v. Realism is right-on — using Realism to move
    gradually toward Idealism.
    That’s where the GOP/Republican simplistic Neo-Con morons completely missed
    it. BUSH/CHENEY destroyed modern Iraq under false pretenses under the
    silly, juvenile belief that free market capitalism would put it all back
    together again.
    Instead, they made Al Qaeda 10X stronger & created an endless Muslim
    Shia/Sunni civil war that now has spurned an abhorant ISIS that will take
    years to destroy — and only AFTER there is a stable Shia/Sunni coalition
    Iraqi government to take over once ISIS has been routed.

    Obama is the greatest modern president US has had, and it’s sad that a
    majority of Americans don’t even know it.

    2:25 that graph is amazing. The amount of democracies in the world has
    doubled since the 1990s! That’s remarkable.
    What’s best about this chart? The progress hasn’t stopped. In fact 2014 was
    one of the biggest years in awhile for international democracy. The
    progress continues, tell a friend.

    What a great man.
    There’s no such thing as a perfect man, let alone a perfect president, but
    in my humble opinion, what a great man.

    Also, remember, a president is just a puppet, big corporations rule the
    world and there’s only so much he can do. But the little he did, i agree
    with, like trying to implement some sort of affordable health care, trying
    to end useless wars, etc.

    All tales for fools. The goal of U.S. foreign policy in support of its
    hegemony in the world. What is democracy if Europe de facto colony of the
    United States? It is surprising that the Europeans to substitute the
    concept of freedom of speech on the rudeness and perversion called
    democratic values. And actually in Europe, few people know the real
    situation in the world. Obama Nobel peace prize! Would give him the scepter
    and the crown at once, it would be more honest.

    I’ve seen subtler Scientology recruitment videos than this puff piece Vox
    created for our dear leader Obama. Young liberals, wake up, there is great
    evil coming, Islamic extremism, faux Christian, totalitarians in Europe.
    You young people have never had to fight for your freedoms, but oh, you’ll
    have to in your lifetimes. One day we will all have to make a stand or die

    The problem with America’s foreign policy is that it has become a
    schizophrenic mix of realism and idealism over the past couple decades (IE:
    Bush kissing the rings of King Abdullah and imposing democracy on Iraq at
    the same time).

    This is impossible to resolve until we no longer separate domestic and
    foreign policy – instead of imposing our will on Eurasia we should be
    working to make the Americas the most prosperous and democratic continents
    on Earth – leading by example.

    He’s an idealist, of course. Is that really even a question, it’s
    obvious. He’s a hard core leftist ideologue who sees the world as he wants
    it to be, not how it is. For example, the Islamic State is neither Islamic
    or a State. Oh, ok.

Americans Are Just Beginning To Unleash Their Superpower!

March 2, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

American Consumer Spending Makes Up 70% of the GDP. This is an American Superpower that has been largely untapped until now.

Trump did not get a mandate, and […]

I use to believe that democracy needed two parties since the exchange of ideas made our Democracy stronger. The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln. It’s a cult whose fealty is to Trump, a dangerous and some say, sociopathic narcissist, who seems bent on concentrating all power in himself,  stealing money through […]
