8. Got a link to that? Where did Chimperor say it?
Not that I disbelieve you, for it exactly the kind of thing an illerate king, tyrant and all around monstrous piece of shit would say. It IS his nation, and we just serve our Imperial Masters (except for those of us who would prefer to ****** on our feet rather than ******* as slaves.

And they have plans for US, you'd better believe that.

Anyway, got a link to the Chimperor, as he so rarely does, going off script and teling us the truth. In this case that HE is Amerika.

(and he is, Amerika with a 'k' representing our post-2000 Tyrannical Empire while Old America remains a memory and a dream buring in the hearts if all who still remember)

12. Here is where he said it:
President Participates in Panel on the American Competitiveness Initiative
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/04/20060421-6.html

"I aim to be a competitive nation. ...
I pledge to the people here of California that if we find any price gouging it will be dealt with firmly."

10. Competitive in terms of what?
Does he mean that he wants to drive down wages, privatize and corporatize governmental functions, and dismantle our social safety nets so that we too can manufacture sneakers and textiles for 10 cents an hour? Cause that's what I think he means.
