If I was a terrorist working for a terrorist government and I wanted to destroy the American way of life, I wouldn't use bombs and bullets to kill folks. Jezzus Freakin grapefruit, that’s too damn dangerous, I could get caught or killed (or both). American Citizens are armed, alert… and angry.
So, no; hell no. Going toe to toe with the infidels will never work. The really good terroristia governments get real results and lay the blame where it can’t be found. Remember.. the Islamic terrorist manifesto is to destroy ‘western civilization’. Chucking airliners into skyscrapers live on CNN is a good attention getter; but modern terrorism isn’t just about dropping a few buildings and killing a few thousand Americans. Hell; there’s more’n 300 million of ‘em. (and more coming over their southern border every day)
So; here’s what I’d do if I was a terrorist government bent on destroying America.
Since American Presidents, Congressmen and Senators represent NOT the citizens that voted for them but rather the corporate entities and lobbyists that paid for their elections… I’d have my terrorist sponsors get control of the funds that feed the lobbyists. A few calls to a half a dozen or so interested (and wholly owned) Oil cartels should do the trick… every November we’ll own even more American Lawmakers.
Next, to get things rolling I’d give my puppet congressmen & women their marching orders and get legislation passed that makes it possible for foreign companies to get their products to America without them having to pay the same duties that American companies would have to pay to export their products over there. We’ll call it ‘Free Trade’.
Then, I’d make it legal for foreign government owned and subsidized businesses to compete with American companies for Defense Department contracts. This way, we can get a look at the plans for free before they even get their new radar or satellites into production…. And when they do go into production we can make sure they work like crap.
Of course, this kind of legislation quickly clears the way for the legal buy out by foreign investors of the majority of the now weakened American factories; plus we’d gain control of their manufacturing patents and machinery. You know; move the factories and the payrolls to foreign countries so there are no more good paying American factory jobs.
Then I’d sell the resulting massive foreign trade debt back to international banking cartels and finance firms owned outright by governments hostile to American interests. Anybody got China’s phone number handy?? I wonder if those gangster Russian Politicians would be interested in a little piece of the American Pie… oh, and fer cripes sakes, lets throw the Eurotards a bone too.. we’ll give ‘em those defense contracts on the new American Air Force Tanker…
This of course de-values the dollar so the price of EVERYTHING would go up even more. See?? Once we own their economy, their Tax base for the next 3 generations AND their lawmakers, we can get down to the real nitty gritty. Remember… the Mission is ‘Destroy the American Way of Life’….
Next, I’d make quality education un-affordable and public education laughable… because terrorists don’t like having educated folks around; it’s bad fer recruitment. Let’s give it a fancy stirring fanfare introduction and call it ‘No Child Left Behind’.
I’d make healthcare difficult to get, expensive as all hell and I’d make it easy for the insurance companies to deny claims and refuse treatment; let ‘em get away with outright murder… killing millions more Americans every year; but not before the foreign owned pharmaceutical and healthcare cartels soak them first for everything they own to pay for the prognosis and the meds.
And, since quality terrorism is kinda pricey I’d make it easy for my greedy wall street and corporate sponsors to make a fat profit on energy and food price speculation; doubling the cost of corn, rice, milk, meat and gas just to be sure we’re squeezing folks for every spare dime they can muster just to get to work … so they can get screwed for what’s left at the end of the week by the usurious payday loan sharks. Lets ‘de-Regulate’ Banking.
I’d make sure the borders stayed open and make it easy for illegal immigrants to compete with desperate Americans looking for a second job…. even the lowest paying hot dog jobs. Call it ‘Immigration Reform’.
Then, I’d enact legislation to intercept their phone calls, watch their bank accounts, monitor their emails and register their guns, then use THAT information to REALLY stick it to them.. We’ll call it ‘The Patriot Act’.
Of course, since the real target is the American Dream… the American Way Of Life; I’d then administer the coup’ de gras & change the ‘standard of living’ to a whole new level… they’ll call it ‘The New Standard of Desperation’… I’d run the credit card and payday loan interest rates up to triple digits, cripple the American Mortgage Banks by cutting off their access to reinsurance; crush them into receivership and then clear the way for foreign owned banks to foreclose on millions of American homes. Kick middle-class America right to the curb.
Lastly; after getting all that done, I’d give myself, my cartel & corporate sponsors and my lackey congressional millionaires the summer off, hand ‘em all a big ‘ol fat tax cut, make it permanent & sit back in the lap of luxury and entertain myself by watching the workin’ folks fight over the crumbs.
I wonder if the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner that was so proudly displayed on the USS Lincoln 5 years ago is still available. It’ll make a nice backdrop for the keynote speaker at the Islamic Jihad International Convention in Pakistan next year.

Well, Dick is certainly a dick... not surprising; given the venue.
Now, back to filling sandbags & watching America destroy itself.

I agree with a lot of it but fail to see how protectionism and more expensive goods are gonna save America.

hang, thats a load of crap and you know it. nothing happening to the american dream without the american electorate knowing and voting about it. Blame it on cheney, blame it on bush...blame it on congress might as well blame santa clause and the tooth fairy too.
The people that cast their votes are getting the ameirca they deserve. the people that dont cast votes have no say and deserve none. Its the people, stupid.

who gave you the job of speaking on behalf of the american people? hangs work was a laborious read, and nauseatingly strife too.

Yeager I won't speak for Hangtime, but what I said is just what I see and have experienced first hand. It doesn't say in my posts that I speak on behalf of them, nor am I even ragging on john. If you could see all my posts ever made about the US, you'd see I never pretend to speak for americans, and even after I'll naturalize (first chance I get) I'll let my actions and own ideas speak for how american I am, or am not..

Ummm.... what's a load of crap? The satire? Or the situation? I'm willing to debate either... would get a bit confusing if we debated both at the same time.

I'm not for protectionism... just fair trade instead of 'free' trade. If China slaps our goods with a tariff, we should respond with identical tariff's. If they have no tariff on our goods.. then great, no tariff's on theirs.

Satire is for people with gaseous indigestion and no want of reality. The point being made is a load of crap. Everyone blames perceived problems (right or wrong) on certain individuals, and although I do not disagree, nor agree, the problem I have is with the inclination that a man is to blame when he was in fact elected by people. It is the people who did the electing who hold ultimate responsibility.
Its not bush or cheney who is to blame, for whatever problem you want to ascribe to them, but it is the people who elected them who are to blame. And to those who claim no culpability because they DID NOT vote for them I have no sympathy. We are in this system of government and the losers must accept the same fate as the winners....for on any given election cycle we are all able to vote morons into office and we must take the good with the bad....or the bad with the bad as so unfortunately seems to be the case repeating itself over and over again.
-
ahhh... but that pre-supposes that the system of democracy; whereby 51% of the electorate gets to dictate terms to 49%; is not flawed.
But; that's not what's happened to us. The system we have NOW is NOT a democracy... because the folks we elect to those lofty offices cease representing the folks that elected them the moment they arrive in Washington.
We voted 'em in... but they represent the corporate interests that paid for their circus elections.

In the case of the President, that would be the Electoral College that holds ultimate responsibility.

If China tries that, we can threaten to stop trading with them. What are they gonna do then? They have to get about 25 million new jobs a year. We're their lifeline.

Walmart will never allow that to happen.

The US government (notice I didn't say we) borrows about one billion dollars from China per day. So, who is who's lifeline?
If our owners were chinese men rather than occidentals, what would that change ?

ummm... they already DO own us. In fact we can't even cover the interest on the loans anymore; so washington just prints more money.
Care for a nice steaming helping of sweet 'n sour Inflation; anybody?

Can I get that with a side of crushed housing?

Heres a little truthism for ya: If you owe the bank 100,000 dollars, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank $1,000,000,000....... you OWN the bank.
If we defaulted on our loans it would throw the entire global economy into financial chaos.

The Chinese have been doing this for years. (shrug)
