What Nation will topple the bush regime? America hasn't the guts
i wish we could be invaded by say, canada or great britain, and our dictator toppled and replaced by someone with at least HALF a brain.
won't someone, anyone, please invade and occupy us? we all have our heads up our asses and we are too chickenshit to go into the white house and actually stop the maniacs.

elections won't help a damn thing, only toppling our dictator will help, and then removing all his gangsters as well.

please....russia?....lithuania?....latvia?....we're hurtin' here.

1. That actually might come true,
but I feel they will first let us erode from within. And we are well on our way. I know some Democrats are speaking out but what more will it take to get them ALL to say STOP. There are enough reasons to impeach right now. We are being driven into the ground. The whole world is against us and still we have the dictator calling the shots. We have a seriously deranged man leading this country. I hope it doesn't take another American Revolution to solve our problems.

25. The world has a nasty habit of uniting against renegade
nations who flout international law, especially when they are headed by dangerous madmen. If Bush cheats his way back in and articles of impeachment aren't immediately served, I think we may very well see that happen.

These same madmen have also been exporting the country's industrial base as quickly as they can find land in third world countries to build their new factories on. If this country finds itself at odds with the rest of the world, and the rest of the world organizes against us, we will NOT be victorious.

Our only immediate hope is to oust the Bush madmen, and then to charge and try them. This is the only thing which will demonstrate to the rest of the world that they were an aberration. Unless we also start taking steps to reverse the damage they have done to this country and its people, will this country survive even a peaceful period.

86. Mopaul and asjr, isn't there a very old song that goes something like..
......"You say you want a revolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright ..."
Lennon/McCartney)

Yet another thread that the freeps and RW talk hosts can point to and say "see how anti-American the democrats are? They're actually hoping for a foreign invasion!"

You realize it was YOUR thread, Mo, that was linked all over Drudge, FR, O'Liely, etc.

Are you just a glutton for negative attention?

Besides, how is hoping some smaller, weaker country will rescue us going to inspire people to get out and get involved in electing a decent democratic government?

It's just defeatism.



And America DOES have the guts - even if you don't.

Gosh, maybe they'll like us more if we shed some tears for Reagan and have a singalong of "God Bless America" with them.

12. Hey, I'm all for attacking them.
But not in this kind of whiny, defeatist manner.

You win by visualizing victory, n ot whining that "we haven't the courage" and hoping that some 2nd rate nation will rescue us.

And yes, appearances matter. In a nation where 90% of media is right-wing dominated, we get few chances to have our message reach people undiluted and without RW spin. If a post like this was all you ever saw of how democrats think, would you want to join up?

I'm sure the major media is going to run a story on the writings of a message board.

What do you mean "visualizing victory"? Victory over what? Victory of Bush? Bush is merely a symptom of what's killing this country.

do we have to say: WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT FREEPERS THINK OR SAY ABOUT US ........

I hear ya, mopaul. If Americans are too stupid and lazy to evict our own evil-doing dictator, if that dictator is indeed threatening the world, then maybe we do need some outside "liberating" force! Kinda like role reversal, someone(s) playing our part in Iraqmire.

GO mopaul :bounce: :headbang:

5. No need. America is committing suicide.
We are, to say the least, overextended in our empire. We are consuming the world's wealth at the expense of the people of the world. We have transformed ourselves into a monster that preys on everything just to satisfy our need to be "The Worlds Only Super-Power", "The Richest Country in the World", or, "We're Number One".

The people of the world have caught on that we are the real danger that threatens the world and they are going to stop us. We now are forced to expend our riches in a vain attempt to keep those we are robbing at bay.

The core of our country is rotting under the delusion that having the rest of the world hate us is an insignificant price to pay for enriching ourselves at their expense.

The handwriting is on the wall. The American people just can't see it behind all the flagwaving and "anti-terrorism" BS that's used to cover it.

The barbarians are restless and we're running out of legions.

And very well written.

This should be a LTTE, except that so many 'Murkins wouldn't be able to actually HEAR the truth in this. Smirking is now the accepted response to truth.

We're in a lot of debt now to foreign nations, and if things get much worse they'll probably get together a select a collection agency.

82. I said that the day of 9-11
'what will happen with China'. They are the next world power (the PNAC is doing all they can to prevent that) and are watching the 'Murican 'going-ons' even more closely than DUer's.

China is Atheist - my fundie mom goes on about how they have yet to be saved (won't allow fundie missionaries in) and how important it is for them to 'see the way of the LORD'. The fundie Americans are awed and terrified by them - so they don't think about it much unless you bring it up.
We could bomb them into submission, but they are far too powerful for us to do jack about w/o nukes. WW3 would have to occur before we would have any power over China.


So, my answer is China.

Seems like a post like that is designed to be picked up by those outside of DU.

I do like your Bush-toilet graphic - very cute. I think your talents are put to better use with the cartoons & such...

I know it gets frustrating, but you know the old expression about catching more flies with honey than vinegar, right? We need an attitude for VICTORY, not this give-up BS. People just naturally want to be on the winning team. Kerry is ahead right now. Let's keep it that way by being POSITIVE, eh?

feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Mo...

I'm giving my opinion that the comics are good, and that if she's going to post stuff, I'd prefer it be stuff with a POINT.

It's a free country, and she can post whatever she likes, so long as it's within the rules.

Is it a crime to ask her to think about what she's saying?

84. I did ask to be corrected - Don't know where I got that idea...
...but it doesn't change the fact that the post is defeatist and pathetic.

Basically, the defense for the post is mopaul basically saying "You're a repug for trying to censor me" and a few defenders saying that mopaul's post is somehow funny or entertaining and that the detractors should just STFU.

All I can say is, if you're going to post negative, defeatist flamebait under the pretense that it's "sarcasm, irony, humor, etc." you should expect some flames.

I'm enthusiastic about this year's election, and about Kerry. Sure, Kerry's not perfect. Neither is the democratic party, but I happen to be jazzed as hell about the idea of getting the Bushistas OUT, and maybe even remaking the Congress to some degree.

Excuse me for being SICK of these threads that seem to be designed SOLELY for the purpose of bringing people down, and scik of seeing them used by rightwing pundits to portray DU, and by extension, all liberals as angry, sad, irrelevant losers.

This is America, dammit - wake up. Appearances matter for pete's sake, sometimes even more than reality or facts. If the ascendancy of the public's belief in the GOP as a bastion of morality and fiscal discipline isn't enough evidence of that, I don't know what is.

And now I think I will - give it a rest.

93. If all you're worried about, delano, is getting rid of bush
and replacing him with kerry, you don't have much to worry about. bush is self-destructing, and if you and all the rest of us put in a lot of effort to bring down the bbv, that regime change *will* happen.

Some of the rest of us are quite concerned about the deep deterioration which has been happening in this country over the last 20 or so years.

But, back to the regime change..... if we aren't tripped up with bbv, the regime change *will* happen..... there's too much going on to stem the tide now. A few freepers getting their bvd's in a twist because of humor or speculation on the part of Dems isn't going to stop that tide one iota. It's about like expecting a pebble to change the course of a flooding river.

I can tell that you're angry and upset, but want you to know that I'm offering this to you in the spirit of good will, and hope that you will hear some hope in this, and not just use it as something else to attack.

It really is going to be OK........ DEMs are getting their spines, and grappling with the enormity of what we are really facing. There's going to be lots of fits and starts in the process. But, we're all in this together, and it *will* work out.

85. I'm sure most of us get exactly where you're coming from.
Your sentiments aren't so profound that they're going over people's heads. I'm sure we've all muttered such things to ourselves or to friends with that same sarcasm.

But post it on a message board, and all the facial expressions and vocal qualities that mark it as sarcasm disappear, leaving it a perfect little gem for a Limbaugh or a Hannity to read to his little minions, who are pretty oblivious to to any sort of irony to begin with, but when they hear it read by Rush in a menacing tone, stripped of all context, that's exactly how the rubes will take it.

"Golly, the democrats want us to get taken over by Yoo-rup! We better get out there and vote for Bush, those guys really are the Looney Left!"

49. It's a good thing that Reagan saved us from mighty Grenada.
God knows that they were about to unleash their unstoppable hordes and pelt us with bananas.

Some of the hysterical replies here fretting that you're throwing the election to Boobya because some rightwingers might be offended are worthy of SNL in it's better years.

56. What a nightmarish thought.
Food with flavor? What's next? Politicians with integrity?

You have an evil mind.

50. I can't imagine anything that could make me type the words:

>"I wish we could be invaded by"<

Sorry, but the last thing I'll ever do is let this fucking group of vermin in Washington control me to that extent.
Just seems chickenshit to me.

I quake in terror at the thought of our beloved country being torn asunder by marauding armies of Lichtensteiners destroying our civilization with well aimed pastries.

On edit: Note to self: Typos will be noted by outraged Repukes and cost us the election.

53. Mopaul, never give in and keep ranting as much as you want.
I enjoy your rants and besides, what is this site for anyway? I don't think you or anybody on DU has to modify anything they say so they don't offend the freepers. You go ahead and rant on.

:yourock:

57. Take a deep breath.
His post was meant to be satire. Rest easy, we are in little danger of being invaded by the likes of Lithuania or Canada. Or any other country. Don't forget "We're Number One" - just ask Rumsfeld.

61. Gads!! A million?
Hunted down and beaten to death by hordes of berserk Canadians with hockey sticks shouting "Eh!".

We must invest in Star Wars immediately!! We could knock down deadly snowballs before they devastated the country.

Haven't you figured this out yet???

65. I think Mo is going the "Coulter" route
Say the most brazenly offensive things, hope to get quoted as much as possible and then profit from the controversy.

BTW, yeah Mo, that's just what we need... russian invaders shooting our neighbors down in the streets. That will certainly get rid of Bush and his ilk. Gees.

67. yeah and Rush Limbaugh is just an "entertainer"
according to him.

Your post is not funny, Mo (although I do like your artwork and many of your other posts) because I actually fear it may come to that.

I fear that what started with an attack on 9/11 may end with an attack, from another country, on the neo-con fascist government.

Can you name another fascist government that didn't have to be attacked and crushed militariliy in order to be removed from power?

I can't.

69. it's funny, now it's not funny, make up your mind
and you're being awfully defensive I must say

My original response to you was simply to ask you if you were putting this post out there as bait.

If you were, that's your business, and you might have very good reasons for it.

You attacked me, and everybody else who has criticized you in response.

It seems a bit odd you would be surprised by the responses when you're a veteran of DU.

You're getting exactly the responses I would have expected.

87. Spain didn't have to be attacked
They just had to wait nearly 40 years for Fascisto Franco to kick the bucket.

Chile got rid of Pinochet in a bloodless manner.

And Argentina got rid of Galtieri on its own, albeit after Galtieri lost the Faulklands war.

because I actually fear it may come to that.

Can you name another fascist government that didn't have to be attacked and crushed militariliy in order to be removed from power?

I can't.

George Bush and his neo-con allies may actually destroy this country. That isn't funny.

72. mopaul's post
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 04:48 PM by senseandsensibility
makes the point, through sarcasm, that the average sheeple American, the once great news media, and our own Democratic party, for GOD'S SAKE, refuse to take this administration on. AND HE'S RIGHT! Yes, things are that serious! Our democracy is in danger and everyone is afraid to stand up to *. When everyone is afraid to stand up to a chickenhawk *, we've got problems, ladies and gentlemen. He's trying to jolt a few people out of their daydream and get them to face reality, o.K? He doesn't want an invasion, for god's sake. HE WANTS PEOPLE TO WAKE THE * UP!! Atleast that's my interpretation, mopaul. Hope I'm right. I always enjoy your posts even when I don't agree with them. That's proof that I'm not a freeper.;)

The victors there will bring us to our knees with sky rocketing crude prices.

Who needs nukes when you can seize the biggest oil faucet on the globe?

The world has grown sick and tired of individuals and korporations from this country running roughshod over so much of the world. Our treatment of others eventually has to come back to us.
