Nagy: 6. Why did you not challenge the lies Bush II told to justify his invasion of Iraq?

Blurryeyed: A. What LIES? Although we found no chemical weapons in Iraq, it is clear that even if Iraq was a mistake that the president acted on the intelligence both from US intelligence agencies and those of our European allies... Again, you are full of crap, just review the Dems starting with Clinton while still in office, followed by the democratic leadership in both houses of congress calling for something to be done about Saddam and his WMD.

Nagy: First, I do not care for your tawdry use of vulgarity. Secondly, you are either ignorant of the facts, or have some sort of vested interest in covering them up. In February, the month before the invasion, I wrote an article entitled "Weapons of Mass Deception." Later that year John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton wrote a book by the same title. The chemical and biological weapons that Donald Rumsfeld had sold Iraq were useless from lack of maintenance. The UNSCUM and UNMOVIC inspectors testified to that. The nuclear program had not been been reconstituted since the Israeli militaristic strike on the Osirac nuclear power plant.

All of that is irrelevant anyway.Who the hell is the US to tell the whole world who may have weapons and who may not, and to attack without provocation on the false charge that the weapons existed? Perhaps you need to read about some aspects of international law signed by the United States, such as the UN Charter and Fourth Geneva Convention. We are pledged to make war only for defensive purpose. The preposterous claim that Iraq could possibly be a military threat to the US is not justification for destroying the country. You either lack morals or minimal reasoning abilities.

LOL Nagy, I guess I can have some fun with this.... :-D :-D

Twenty Questions for Right Wing Nuts - Peter Nagy

1. Why do you call yourselves conservatives, when you want to preserve only your privileges, but are willing radically to expand them?

A. WTF are you talking about Nagy, more hysterical gibberish from one who demands the fruits of the labors of others.

2. Why did you not condemn Reagan’s illegal Iran/Contra operations?

A. Not so sure that Reagan was ever actually connected to Iran/Contra even though the left gave him their best shot. Not so sure that I supported Iran/Contra at any rate.

3. If tax cuts for the rich produce jobs, why is there a high rate of unemployment now, when tax cuts for the rich are at a multi-decade low?

A. The current downturn that we are in has nothing to do with tax cuts for the rich but rather has everything to do with the policies of both the Fed and the Federal government which lead to the housing crisis and the collapse of our economy. It would have eventually happened anyway even without the housing crisis as that only accelerated the process and worsened the wealth loss.

4. Given that revolutions are radical, how can there have been a “Reagan Revolution” and a “Gingrich Revolution” led by men who said they were conservative?

A. Because Any disruption in our Fabian march to socialism is indeed a radical development.

5. Why were you silent about Saddam Hussein having acquired his chemical and nuclear weapons from Donald Rumsfeld in 1983 and 1985?

Your full of conspiracy theories aren't you Nagy, been reading too much Salon and Mother Jones it would seem. Rumsfeld did no such thing although he was a bit accommodating to the Iraq dictator during those years, probably had more to do with a balance of power in the region more so than anything else, but it certainly had nothing to do with chemical or nuclear weapons.

6. Why did you not challenge the lies Bush II told to justify his invasion of Iraq?

A. What LIES? Although we found no chemical weapons in Iraq, it is clear that even if Iraq was a mistake that the president acted on the intelligence both from US intelligence agencies and those of our European allies... Again, you are full of crap, just review the Dems starting with Clinton while still in office, followed by the democratic leadership in both houses of congress calling for something to be done about Saddam and his WMD.

7. With the highest military budget on the planet, what is your excuse for having sent American soldiers to Iraq without adequate body and vehicular armor?

A. Not so sure that is a conservative thing, seems the dems have been quite happy to do the same.

8. How do you justify impeaching Bill Clinton for lying about a private sex act, while not lifting a finger against Bush II for telling lies that justified the War on Iraq, which killed at least a million Iraqis and thousands of Americans?

A. More paranoia from the left. Already answered.

9. When you say that gay marriage erodes the sanctity of marriage, do you mean it will keep marriages from being as sacred as Newt Gingrich’s?

A. LOL Just what legal interest does the state have in the definition of the word Marriage? I for one have made a strong argument for equal protections of gay unions under our laws.

10. Why did you name “Clear Skies Act” the 2003 law that actually weakened existing air pollution controls by permitting more toxins in the air than before, and which cut the budget for their enforcement?

It failed anyway, why are you still crying about it?

11. Why did you not oppose Bush and Gale Norton’s Healthy Forests Initiative, an Orwellian program that sought to eliminate forest fires by allowing lumber companies to clearcut federal forest?

I am sure that most conservatives are not even aware of the Healthy Forests Initiative and I am also sure that the proposal was not to clear cut entire forests

12. If you believe in free enterprise, why did the GOP arrest seniors who went to Canada to buy less expensive pharmaceuticals?

Is the Obama administration not doing the same today? Personally I think that we should be able to purchase those pharmaceuticals.

13. By family values, do you mean Larry Craig’s?

14. How do you justify dramatically reducing (in 1998) the Social Security payments to teachers who were in SS-exempt state retirement systems, but had accumulated an SS pension via jobs outside of teaching?

A. Isn't it a well known fact that conservatives hate teachers?

15. What is your justification for continuing the oil depletion allowance?

A. Now you show your ignorance, why not just ask why any business be allowed capital depreciation?

16. Given that you insist on “sequestering” all entitlements that assist ordinary people, why have you raised assistance to Big Agra over $114 billion?

A. Conservatives if they had their way would get rid of all subsidies. Don't kid yourself Nagy, there are plenty of Dems helping to keep those subsidies alive.

17. What is your reason for thrusting people into health care problems by opposing the only plan that gives all other advanced nations longer lives and lower medical costs, namely socialized medicine?

Because the American promise has always been a different promise, it is not the socialist promise of the European nations, you may remember that we fought a war as a fledgling upstart against the greatest military empire in the world, against all odds our founders risked all to break the chains that bound us to Europe... Why don't you just move back there Nagy?

18. Why are you opposing “Obamacare,” but did not raise a voice against “Romneycare” on which it is based?

A. Really? Why should people in one state get all worked up about what the government of another state is up to? Maybe you had not noticed but Massachusetts is one of the bluest states in the country, if the folks of that state want socialized medicine so be it, what the people of one state does not have baring on the rest of us.

19. If people on welfare are frauds, why are a majority of them working?

A. Are you denying welfare fraud and the government's apparent lack of concern?

20. If the free market governs itself, why did it allow the major finance institutions to become “too big to fail,” thus obligating everyone to bail it out?

Nagy: 20. If the free market governs itself, why did it allow the major finance institutions to become “too big to fail,” thus obligating everyone to bail it out?


Blurryeyed: A. Again you show your ignorance, there is no such thing as free markets in our banking industry, it is a prime example of fascism in our economy, as it is an alliance of the Fed, Treasury, and America's largest banking interests colluding to run and control our economy and society while all three driving mutual benefit from the relationship! They excluded the free market from the banking industry back in 1913 when a progressive president allowed the largest banking interests in the country to write the legislation which brought the Fed into existence... give me a break Nagy!

Good answer on #20. You might have added that the Fed was created by the efforts of Jewish German banker, Paul Warburg, to finance WWI and has been used to finance every war since.

On. #17 you say we fought WWII or was it WWI (you don't say) to break the chains that bound us to Europe. You need to do a lot more research on that theory. Wall Street war profiteers helped build up the Nazis by providing them with formulas for synthetic gasoline and synthetic rubber.
Preston Bush, W's grandfather, had his bank shut down after the war started for financing the Nazi war machine.

All wars are fought for economic reasons. Germany and Japan were becoming threats to U.S. trade. The original U.S. plan in Europe was to build up the Nazis and let them fight it out with Russia, weakening both countries in the process. When it became apparent that Russia would defeat Germany and become too powerful in Europe as a result, the U.S. decided to enter the war.
