That is why is doesn't matter if someone is a D or an R they are bought and paid for. This is the first election even where is a small chance someone not bought and paid for might be President if Bernie would have just stood up to Hillary and called her out for her misdeeds he would have had a chance. Instead he ran on ideas and although ideas are great when you have bought and paid for shrill your up against and lets face it most people aren't smart enough to do their own research you have to make the other candidate look bad. Simply put he didn't do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-23574984129468877072016-03-01T13:07:50.296-04:002016-03-01T13:07:50.296-04:00I've noticed that America often distinguishes ...I've noticed that America often distinguishes her friends from her enemies based on who play economic ball with us. As you pointed out in the article above. Salvador Allede was going to nationalize Chile's copper reserves and the CIA ousted him from power. The same is true of Saddam Hussein, Kydafi and Hugo Chavez all of who were going to nationalize their countries oil reserves and now they're all gone. Iran is also another country that is on our enemy list for the same reason, they refuse to allow US oil companies to exploit their oil reserves. They even started their own oil bourse nor do I believe the accept the US dollar in exchange for their oil. <br /><br />If there is any doubt about this all one has to do is look at the relationship between China and America vs or past relationship with the old Soviet Union. China's Communism is the same as the old Soviet Union communism. So how come China is our best buddy while we still revile the old Soviet Union. Simple, Communist China loves capitalism whereas the Communist Soviet Union refused to play economic ball with the west. <br /><br />In a nutshell ideology has nothing to do with who we choose to be our friends. That nonsense is for the masses who occasionally need to be convinced to fight and die for democracy when in fact they are fighting and dying for the profits of large "US" Corporations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-83585746913336034422016-03-01T09:11:45.412-04:002016-03-01T09:11:45.412-04:00Thanks for another great article.

Like many people I do not find what is known as the concept of Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD to be reassuring.<br /><br />The nuclear deterrent we hold is a hundred times larger than needed to stop anyone sane or rational from attacking America, and for anyone else an arsenal of any size will be insufficient. The article below delves into the risk, size, and cost of these weapons.<br /><br /> http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2016/02/nuclear-weapons-putting-issue-in.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.com
