Which Republican is Closest to God?

John Sammon — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 15:44:24 +0000

The Republican Party is the party of double standards.

They say they're against big government intrusion, but authorize unconstitutional wiretapping of your phone supposedly to make you safer, but really because you don't agree with them. They talk about family values, and then cheat on their wives.

CIA and ISI Built Bin-Laden Compound, Obama Ordered Assasination in Live Feed

Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 10:50:06 +0000

Presumably, had Bin Laden he been abducted, he would have proven to be an invaluable source of intel on crucial national security issues facing the United States. A shot to the head, execution-style, indicates orders to shoot to kill . Why give up such a cornucopia of information that cannot be obtained in any other way? To shut him up, of course. A live bin-Laden would have had to be debriefed, interrogated, and then judged in a court of law or military tribunal. To prevent multiple embarrassments and a myriad incriminating revelations involving multiple administrations, he had to be disposed of summarily.
