Columnist – John Sammon
You know what bothers me, apart from the ethics, who’s right and who’s wrong? (America is always right, right or wrong).

America only attacks small, poor countries. Look at the list of our opponents over the past thirty years or so, Vietnam, Granada, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Balkans, Lebanon, and Cuba (oops, we didn’t attack Cuba, we almost did).

Always in the name of freedom.

It makes me yearn for World War Two, the good war, where we fought competent powerful enemies worthy of the name. Now, I know because we’re America we’re always right no matter what. I know we have right on our side in every case. That we’re infallible, incapable of error.

But do we always have to fight countries much smaller than ourselves?

This will get me labeled as unpatriotic, and not one of the my-country-right-or-wrong-God-likes-me-and-not-you crowd. But it makes me uncomfortable that we’re always beating up (in the name of right) on poor small countries, countries whose gross national product is a fraction of our own.

These are people who don’t have refrigerators like we do.

To be invaded by the United States, you have to be small, poor, and have no navy and no air force like we do.

We never take on big countries like China.

Here’s a partial list of countries that because of their size and poverty can consider themselves under risk of attack from Bombs Away John McCain if they don’t conform to the American lifestyle, and fail to provide us with raw materials, or do what we want when we want, or pattern themselves after us, or seek nuclear power (that right is reserved for America and its friends like India).

And most of all, not attack their neighbors. The right to attack is reserved for America. Here’s the list:

Chad — This tiny Central African country, named for a voting stub (chad), would be easy for the United States to defeat. Hell, they don’t have anything except sand and flies. In fact, their chief commodity export are gnats.

Switzerland — If we run out of milk, we know where we can get it (lots of cows). The only problem here are the mountains (we have specialized troops that can climb those), and the sexy blondes in the villages who might prove a distraction. It can be overcome by our modern technology.

Yemen — This is a plumb ready for the taking. Think of it. Oil rich. On the ocean where the Red Sea meets the Arabian Sea. Beautiful waterfront condos overlooking the sea. Prime real estate. No air force to speak of. Navy? Can Arabs sail? Hell no. The only problem is, it’s a republic. That’s okay, we can blame 9-11 on ‘em. Yemen has another advantage. Many different tribes. We can get them to warring with each other.

Djibouti — Another Arab country in the Horn of Africa. Once again, potential oil and ocean views. We could overrun them in three days. It’s a Moslem country so this would figure in with our remaking the Middle East. But the main reason is it would give our hip soldiers (who love slang) the chance to wear tee shirts that say, “you bet Djibouti (your booty).”

Netherlands Antilles — This tiny island off the coast of Venezuela, I can’t think of one good reason to invade. Except maybe, it’s close to South America and would give us more of a presence there. We’ve always tried to boss South America.

This is only a partial list.

There are many more such countries that can be taught freedom.

It is most appropriate that George W. Bush and John McCain are meeting behind closed doors because that’s where the two Bush terms were won. But we must remember not to attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

The good news is, what these two lack in leadership and integrity is made up for in arrogance and pig-headedness.

For those of you who found it incomprehensible that McCain voted against helping our troops, saying he didn’t want to be too generous, it’s really very simple. Some might even call it a sad story. While I was a patient at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, Senator McCain explained to me that the source of my anger was being abandoned by my fellow Americans after being shot down twice in Vietnam (quite a revelation). That he, too, was still mad as hell at Americans for leaving him to rot in a POW camp for years while they listened to psychedelic music, wore flowers in their hair, and partied (Guess I’m a hippie at heart because I thought these people were really neat. Love, not war, is a pretty good mindset in my opinion).

I listened in disbelief as McCain informed me that he had to choose between dying or talking; and since Americans didn’t give a damn about him, he didn’t give a damn about them. He even confessed rather boldly being nicknamed “Songbird” by his fellow POWs because of his willingness to tell his captors even more than they asked for. This is a flagrant violation of Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct which states, If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

While it was a difficult moment for me, I was pleased McCain had, unlike me, gotten it together after returning home. Frankly, I didn’t believe the “Songbird” story until many years later when I heard esteemed author Gore Vidal allude to it. In 2003 I started promoting McCain for president. But I was wrong; this guy is still filled with hate, and it’s not the Iraqis, Iranians or North Koreans he hates.

To all who want to follow this bitter old man McCain into WWIII, you just might want to reflect on the fact that he didn’t do very well as a warrior. He lost his aircraft, got captured, and then failed miserably to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct, which is a court marshal offense. I suggest that Democrats remember what these cold blooded neo-conservatives did to Max Cleland, John Kerry, and tried to do to John Murtha. I believe it’s time they harvested this crop of thorns they have so mercilessly sown. I don’t know what you are going to do, but I’m going to feed this bunch who have disgraced our country and devalued our dollar some of their own medicine; and I’m not going to use a spoon, I’m going to use a shovel.

Bob Miller (A Registered Republican) Asks: ‘Democrats…Learned Anything in the Last 8 Years?’

Mentioning John McCain and war hero in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Since I was shot down twice in Vietnam, I did at one time respect McCain until I started checking with those who spent time with him in North Vietnam.

His nickname was “Songbird.”

McCain didn’t volunteer to be a POW and he didn’t begin to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Conduct after being captured. What he did do was sing like a songbird and whine day and night about being abandoned. This old guy is not bitter at the North Vietnamese, he’s mad as hell at Americans for leaving him in the POW camp for five years while they listened to psychedelic music, wore flowers in their hair, and partied. McCain, like his mentor Bush, will sell our country to the highest bidder, and that bidder will be the United Arab Emirates.

I’m a registered Republican.

I ran for a seat in the US Senate in 1992. I’ve been campaigning against the George H.W. Bush gang since 1976, and I know what I’m talking about. Neither Messrs. Gore nor Kerry would listen. They said that George W. Bush was a nice guy while knowing all the time he was a habitual lying, bowlegged moron. I told Mr. Kerry three days before the election that he was going to lose because he had not gone for the jugular. He not only let Bush push him around, he brushed off the Swift Boat puppets as if their painting him a coward wouldn’t matter to voters…the same voters Bush and Cheney had been reading Chicken Little to day and night since 1999.

Democrats had better remember what these demons from hell did to Max Cleland and tried to do to John Murtha. I believe it’s time they harvested this crop of thorns they have so mercilessly sown. I don’t know what you are going to do, but I’m going to feed this bunch who have disgraced our country and devalued our dollar some of their own medicine; and I’m not going to use a spoon, I’m going to use a shovel.

God and country means nothing to these warmongering sociopaths in the Republican Party.

They would sponsor Robert Mugabe if they thought he could win the Oval Office. Their reason has nothing to do with building a country that can legitimately claim “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Equality is not on their to-do list. I’ve witnessed first hand the George H.W. Bush list that he compiled in 1976 after being appointed the Director of the CIA. It was a short list, but one that has not only turned this country, but the world every which way but loose.

1. Control of the US media.

2. Control of the US Supreme Court and federal judges.

3. Give US Treasury ATM cards to family and corporate sponsors.

Democrats have two choices.

One: You can go on the offense and paint McCain as a dangerous hotheaded old fool who’s eaten up with PTSD and will push the world into WWIII.

Two: You can play fair as Gore and Kerry tried to do and this bunch of ungodly self-serving leeches will wipe their feet on Mr. Barack Obama and his family, destroying possibly our country’s last chance to come out of this death spiral.
