I hated that guy. We all did.
Heck, we sang songs about how much we hated him.

Still, he was a slippery li'l devil. To the best of my knowledge, nobody ever caught him, even though he did have our girls and our Cadillacs. Lucky for ol' Jody, considering the number of fit, tough young men looking to stomp the piss outta him.

He was slippery for sure. We didn't catch him either. I didn't even know I had a Cadillac when I heard he got it and he was gone. Oh well, ain't no sense in looking back.

Late night comics get serious after Virginia violence

NEW YORK — The weekend violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, prompted late night comics to strike a serious tone at the top of their shows Monday night.
Instead of a traditional joke-filled monologue, Jimmy Fallon opened his show with an emotional condemnation of the attack that left a woman dead and President Donald Trump’s failure to immediately denounce the white supremacist groups that organized the rally. Fallon says his “Tonight Show” isn’t political, but it’s his “responsibility to stand up against intolerance and extremism as a human being.”
Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel also took aim at Trump’s delayed condemnation, noting his eagerness to publicly criticize less important issues.
Seth Meyers spoke directly to the president with his opening comment , saying, “You can stand for a nation or you can stand for a hateful movement. You can’t do both.”

In the first place, it wasn't the CIA. You need to get over your boogie men. I entered into combat secure in the belief that I was following my orders.

By the way, I was in Desert Storm. Y'know, the one where the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait, and we threw 'em out? 1990-91?

That's why I knew, and said regularly, that there wasn't a single thing in all of Iraq worth one drop of American blood.

Sorry to upset your sense of things, but I was completely opposed to George and Dick's Excellent Adventure.
<snip>

Kuwait was the only place an american invasion ended successfully of late, schwarzkopf got the job done however other invasions weren't quite so successful... iraq, afghanistan, libya, yemen etc remain in deadly turmoil.
Difficult to believe chicken hawk cheney could dream up the get saddam scam all by himself he simply luved the shock and awe sound byte, he talked the talk but left the walk to others. Cia initiative regarding any 'undemocratic' nation is always regime change, h_ll they even conned colin powell usually a level headed statesman into supporting their scam.

You entered into combat secure in the belief your struggle was just just as mr. lee did yet the parallel ends there, mr. lee is deemed unworthy of respect.
You failed to offer opinion on mr. lees' integrity.

Trump just said it like it was.

Everybody has a right to protest, it does not have to be pretty, but it's a right.

The Neo Left had no right to attack the Neo Nazi etc from exercising their rights.

Just who ever said Democracy has to be pretty and it has to be a Neo Left agenda

Did you watch any footage of the incident? I was not the anti-Nazi protestors who were carrying shields and bludgeons. And it was not the anti-Nazi protestors who used a car to commit murder.

Suddenly, the Alt-Reich tough guys are scared skinny of those lefty terrorist school board ladies and 75-year-old NAACP grampas.

Most were carrying shields and clubs, they were all idiots, but an idiot act by does not give another the right to fight against him unprovoked

...by one...

There were probably a dozen planted thugs. It's an old trick that Trump learned from the Russians. Interesting that the Alt-Reich knew exactly where to video them.

Sure you do. Every comment you've ever made on this board makes it clear you're a Nazi.

You don't actually have to prance around in fake uniform to qualify.

This board clearly shows why multiculturalism has a very difficult time being successful. Obviously racism will always exist.

Not really.

The backlash has proven egalitarianism was successful and the racists lost.
