Bush, Communism, and the County Dem headquarters
 

These are from Bradford County, pre-election. What started out as a joke within our gunslanging group turned into a real eye-opener in this area.

The missions went like this:

Look for the most visible location or the most potentially irritating location, and put the biggest FING Bush sign you can there. Planting a sign with direct lighting on it earns bonus points. Four by eight signs are obviously better.

All missions start after 10pm but preferably after midnight.

So, people are driving down the street on the way home from bible study -- no signs. When they woke up the following day -- BIG signs all over the FING place.

These big signs were popping up all over town and country. There was a lame effort from the opposition to plant their own signs, but they couldnt get the big signs and their little signs ended up vanishing in very large numbers. We also had people watching our signs because....we own the night.

The two below are some of the best; right across the street from the Dem county headquarters. The adjoining neighbor is also filing a suit against these ...people....for damage done by cars tearing up the lawn while getting in and out of the Kerry HQ parking spaces.

This was the most fun I have ever had at a job that doesnt pay money.

I didn't realize that Kerry was a communist...wow...that's news to me.

Excellent Exxxxxcellent! http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/thumpsup.gif

Sweet!

Did you, uh, I mean the people who did this, hum the MISSION: Impossible theme while planting the signs?

You don't get out much then. He's was very cozy with the Vietnam comms, which is one of many reasons he lost.

Sure, he can speak well and has great hair. He would have been a disaster to have in the White House though.

Of course, that's just my opinion though. Mine and that of the majority of people that went to vote.

Relax Sycamore. You'll have your chance to actively participate in 06 or 08. Get those fingers typing for your local Dem party grassroots efforts.

Eh, no. The majority of people thought Bush was a better choice, not that Kerry would have been a "disaster to have in the White House."

Of course, your opinion didn't mean shit anyway, since this state went to Kerry. :)

This time, my friend, this time it did....and all the difference it made.

Not just this time...the last 4 times.

Sure, Kerry lost overall in the end. But how many times did Bush come here in the past 4 years? Yeah, that helped him a lot, didn't it?

Not only that, but the 100 million people is an interesting figure. Of course, the other two reasons to fight wars are capiltalistic and religious. Stalin as the world's premier communist probably accounts for most of that total, although China and North Korea have done their share.

I found this resource totaling death tolls from wars and other conflicts. If we try to total the results by the political/economic system of the aggressor or stated reason, we would find that monarchies and religion are also to blame for millions of deaths. In fact, you will find that many nations, including the US, are built on the suffering and deaths of neighbors, indigenous populations, or slaves. I would like to see an estimate of Native American and slave casualties in the US from 1600-1900.

Communism is probably more susceptible to famine than capitalism, but I'm sure there were deaths during the Great Depression in the US due to famine. Noone was really to blame for the Spanish Flu Pandemic, which killed 21 million worldwide and about 850,000 in the US.

We also do not know at this point how many civilians in Iraq we have killed in order to liberate them or who have died from starvation or disease due to the collapse of the Iraqi infrastructure as a direct result of the war and inadequate reconstruction. So I do find it ironic in Bush supporters bringing up the topic of 'death tolls'.

If these signs turn ordinary Democrats into blithering apologists for Communism who can't help but work Iraq into it, it would appear that they work correctly.

Gosh, that does sound like fun. Really brings back the memories too, we used to do that kind of shit all the time back when I was 12. Didja manage to get any pool hopping in?

It was. You should try it sometime. Are you allowed to stay up past 10?

Any more than the rest of the campaign turned Republicans into blithering apologists for Iraq who can't help but work 9/11 into it. :cool:

Here is a list of countries with communist parties. In some cases, these parties play a role in a coalition government. Let me know who you want to bomb next. :nuke: :rattat:

BTW, I don't apologize for Communism or for Capitalism. I just don't believe Stalin represents all Communism any more than I believe that Kenneth Lay represents all of Caplitalism or Boss Tweed represents all of Democracy. Nor do I believe you can discuss Communism without differentiating between, say, Marxism, Leninism, and Stalinism - any more than you can say Democracy without discussing the difference between a true democracy and a republic, which is what the US actually is. If you want slogans like Communism=Murder or Capitalism=Greed, then for that kind of simplistic crap you have to talk to the Jingoes. There seem to be a lot of them around these days.

In power?? With a candidate running for the highest elected office in a democratic country?

That is an impressive list but really doesn't relate to the conversation. There are a large number of countries with Communists parties active. Are they in power? Very few. When they take power, then we'll talk about bombing them. We'll have to see what the "list of countries to bomb" looks like at that time.

It is interesting to me how many people here go out of their way to defend or explain Communism. Socialism I could understand but not Communism.

Any way you slice it, Kerry wont be the pres in the next 4 years and there are a boatload of people that are very happy for that.

So.....cry, insult and counter post on......the facts are the facts, Kerry lost and the cellar is short of right thinking people.

Woo, yeah, I'm always glad to see when a very serious election is reduced to the goal of merely irritating people. Well, maybe you were expecting to change some voters' ideas with these signs and just thought that slightly-oversized signs were funny. You know, like clown shoes! Oh, man! I bet those bible study groups just went absolutely crazy when they saw those signs! How many of those church-goers' votes do you think you were able to sway away from Kerry? ;)

As an American, I'm so pleased that this election was determined by intelligent sound bites from commercials that were so well put together -- sound tracks and all. Without these, the common voter would have never have known that Kerry stood before the Senate and shamed all of our troops in Vietnam by revealing the war crimes the US was committing. I personally thank god that, today, we have an administration in the White House who will take every effort to cover these up and preserve the integrity of our soldiers. A clearly communist president would have been the worst thing to happen to this country! We're fortunate that slightly more than half of the population voted on the most important issues presented thirty second clips and voted for the Freedom-loving, small-government candidate!
