Bush is a.........

Bush is an evil lying turkey cock

 

George Bush picks boogers from his nose.

 

Hey wait a minute...Miss Janis Joplin was a Texan and so am I...not necessarily proud of it..but still.

Bush is....Richard Nixon reincarnated?

 

go you.

I'm waiting for my hair to grow too... I think I'm going to spike it when it gets to be that "in-between" length.

Good luck.

 

Nixon was already living when Bush was born... how is that possible...


Yeah, and I'm Robert Johnson, Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, or Nick Drake reincarnated...

 

Thank ya


I found out last nite from a dreadhead friend that your hair only needs to be 3 inches long to start dreading, and mine's nearly eight. I am going to devote tomorrow to getting the rubber bands in and I'm not going to rush anything, so that it won't look like shit like last night and earlier today...I used more hair than I was supposed to. I'm pretty damn optimistic about it all

 

Yeah, I knew it was 3 inches to be dreaded, so I was kind of wondering about yours since I know it reached into your nose an inch. Mine is about six inches.

 

haha yes, my hair can get into my nostrils....i found out today that my bangs are longer than any other part of my hair.

 

You know sitting here calling Bush names isn't what 'hippies' would have done, right?

It just seems so...oh can we say...childish. Not really trying to be mean, but really you're acting like the fucking kids at my high school. And they're just a bunch of rich preppy pill-popping white kids.

 

How do you know what hippies would have done? Abbie Hoffman and his followers called Lyndon B Johnson a bastard pig, etc etc, and they called Nixon a murderer, rapist, thief, and on and on and on...so just because hippies are supposed to be friendly means that they cant make fun of a rpesident who's raping their country and other countries around the world?

 

yeah, what soulrebel said.

 

Fine, whatever act like little kids with your name calling.

 

Soulrebel--Since you are the smartest person in the hippie forums, I would like your opinion of this op-ed in today's "Wall Street Journal."

Ronald Reagan's New Movie

America is at war. In every corner of the globe the threat to freedom is on the march. The U.S. president terms it "evil," rejects advice from allies to avoid provoking conflict and makes victory his mission. America is accused of arrogance.

The year is 1983 and the battle has been joined: Ronald Reagan is squaring off against Soviet domination.

Thanks to the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the coloring of American life by orange alerts, 20th-century totalitarianism can seem like ancient history. Yet with America under assault from a new freedom-loathing force, we can ill afford to forget the commitment and courage it took to defeat the Soviet Union.

"In the Face of Evil," director Stephen K. Bannon's documentary based on Peter Schweizer's book "Reagan's War," bids us to remember not only the courage and insight of Ronald Reagan but, as important, the cost of appeasement. Reagan ended Soviet repression, but not before the "beast"--as the film terms it--claimed millions of lives and enslaved millions more. Détente never freed anyone. Reagan freed a billion people.

From the grainy footage of Bolshevism, Stalinism and Nazism right up to the late 1980s, when hard-line Soviet generals were pressing for a "first strike," the film reminds us that evil is part of the human condition. Reagan pursued his mission believing at his core that "evil is powerless if the good are unafraid."

Were it not for Lenin's view that "of all the arts, the cinema is the most important" and Reagan's startling good looks, communism might never have had to tangle with the unyielding president. During a 1946 labor strike heavily infiltrated by communists, Reagan felt Marxism's heavy boot, an experience that would permanently set him against tyranny. This was among the earliest displays of the plain-spoken Reagan's unwavering public manner. Others cowered, but he never did.

From this Hollywood experience Reagan understood that the Soviets were strongest when they smelled fear. Later history, the film reminds us, bears this out. When Kennedy "sought dialogue," Khrushchev "saw weakness." Castro and the Soviets chased Kennedy out of the Bay of Pigs and, during the Cuban missile crisis, extracted a U.S. pledge never to try to help free Cuba again. To Reagan, accommodation of Soviet domination was deal-making with slave masters. In 1964, he warned that a showdown was inevitable. "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth." Yet two decades more would pass before he would get his chance to stand up to Soviet tyranny.

"Détente," Reagan famously quipped, "is what a farmer has with his turkey until Thanksgiving Day." And no leader better personified the West's policy of appeasement than Jimmy Carter. He sought to "bring down tensions" and reduce the "arrogance" of American power. The Soviets walked all over him--in Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Africa, Afghanistan and Poland.

Two months after he took office, Reagan survived an assassination attempt. He became convinced that God had spared him for a divine mission: to put an end to the Soviet Union. Again, the film graphically fills in what pop culture easily forgets: "The gloves came off" and a small dedicated inner circle of trusted Reaganites put in play a four-part strategy of intelligence, materiel, ideas and money designed to bring the Soviets to their knees.

Among the milestones along Reagan's path to victory: a spiritual bond with Polish Pope John Paul II, also badly wounded by a would-be assassin. Solidarity was a promising crack in Soviet power and Reagan was "determined to see it succeed."

Derision of the 40th president was a pastime of the American elite. But the Russians weren't laughing. Then came the closer: the strategic defense initiative. A clip of Carl Sagan mocking the president makes the point about Reagan's status in establishment circles. But when the cameras switch to former Soviets, we hear a far different view. Reagan's resolve and SDI set off a crisis in the Kremlin. When Reagan met Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavik, the Soviet leader read off a litany of concessions he would offer in exchange for the termination of Star Wars. Reagan refused, Mr. Gorbachev threatened and Reagan famously stood up and ended the meeting.

The film frames that final showdown with the perfect biblical analogy: The devil had taken Reagan to the mountaintop and offered a world of spoils, from peace prizes to popular acclaim and a glamorous place in history. To reject it took more than guts. It took a man who put freedom ahead of his own glory.

This is not a biography but the story of a man who faced off against the 20th century's "heart of darkness" and won. As former KGB officer Oleg Kalugin explains, "He overcame the culture of fear because he refused to live by it."

what a stupid fucking editorial... please... reagen is a nutjob.

 

Wooptee-freakin-doo. Another dumbass who credits his life to some god. That editorial doesn't even touch upon the destruction of the economy started by the presidents before Reagan and which Reagan continued to do.

Reagan didn't give a shit about you or anyone else, unless they were rich. He grew up rich and that's all he cared about.

 

Reagan is where the United States took a wrong right () turn and took a serious downfall... Long live Jimmy Carter.

 

I wish Kennedy would come back...in a younger form of course. Or maybe Carter running again..... or Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich as running mates in 4 years..that would kick ass.

 

Yeah... I liked Howard Dean. I like Kucinich too... they're both two of my favorites. I remember my parents voting for Dean in the primary.

 

They both have anti-war platforms also. My parents didn't like any of them...altho they didnt look into any of them.
