Politics discussions at the office.

  • Footwedge
    The owner of the the company I work for is one ignorant mofo. Today it was all I could do from slugging him in the mouth.

    I'm surprised he hasn't forced Romney stickers on every employee's vehicle.

    Today's discussion centered around bombing the crap out of Libya for killing our ambassador. Yeah Tim...that will fix the problem. Fuckin idiot.

    Instead of running the company, he, his wife, and his 2 daughters need to close up shot and enlist.

    Chickenhawks...the scourge of America and American foreign policy.

    I vote this most pointless thread ever.

    And in other news, Footwedge focuses on his "boss"'s political views re Libya rather than the real issue that our government just LIED to us about what happened.

    Unfortunately Wedgie we're a little smarter here, I call BS on your anecdotal experience and even if true I couldn't possibly give a crap. If you don't like your "boss" quit, I'm sure in the Obamaconomy you'll land on your feet in no time. I look forward to hearing about your resignation and your new job.

    You couldn't talk him down by quoting Adam Smith?

    Every single person who uses the term "chickenhawk" is the former of the two. They will lie and claim they served, but they did not. They hate the military because they are cowards.

    Quit! You have a brain, working experience what the problem? Coward, fear of not finding a job under Obama economic agenda, not willing to make it on your own because you can’t “Build it” yourself, believe in something you can’t support. Lack of confidence in Obama like every business in America….

    Sorry not feeling it for you … I think you know what you should do but just want to make excuses not to.

    I disagree. For example, at about 3:00 in that video Jesse Ventura, a Navy Seal during Vietnam calls Dick Cheney a chickenhawk. Probably not a chicken/coward.

    What hyperbole? Boatshoes busted your ass on your ludicrous statement. Serious pwnage.

    But while I have you on the horn......do you think bombing and killing hundreds if not thousands of Libyan citizens would have solved anything? I mean...really? And there are all kinds of folks out there...and here on these boards that actually believe that nonsense. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people? What did the women and children that live in Libya have to do with an Islamic Extremist? My boss thinks bombing them would fix it all. Seriously, I can't make this kind of shit up folks. He's a fucking idiot when it comes to foreign policy. Other than that, he's a damn good businessman and a pretty good person. And...he sure proved his brilliance in hiring me....:laugh:

    Yes Jesse calls it the way it is. But not just the biggest chickenhawk of all, Mr. Dickhead C...but the entire Bush the 43rd's cabinet that was looooooaded with them. Wurmser, Doug Feith, Scooter Libby, Tommy Boy Delay, John Bolton, Eliot Abrams, Paul Wolfowicz, Frank Gaffney, Richard Pearle and Pinnochio himself who had strings pulled to keep him out of harm's way. Not to mention his AWOL days. Yes....that whole administration...loaded with people who dodged the draft...but saw absolutely noooo problem in lying to our recent high school grads...to do what they were too pussified in doing themselves. The list was endlesssss.

    BTW....Mitt would keep the legacy rolling.

    But I'm cool with it. Being a strong religious man I feel pretty comfortable that this band of neoconservative wackos will burn in hell for their undeniable war criminality.

    I might have missed it (trying to multitask), but did someone here actually agree with your boss that Libya should be bombed?

    Absolutely. Brownie points were there for the taking. And then of course Steve chimed in with "well Glen hit the nail on the head this morning in claiming the Muslim brotherhood were going to be making American policy if Obama is re-elected". Muuuhhhahaha. And I had to go outside for a 10 minute smoke break...even though I don't smoke. I can't believe I work with such an uneducated pile on nimrods. Seriously. They actually believe this stuff.

    Hilarious. And I always thought the Hari Khrishnas were nuts! They can't hold a candle to my office collegues. LOLOL.

    I meant here ... as in the forum. You asked the question, "Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people?" I was only seeing what "you people" you meant.

    Does anyone else think Boatie and Footie are one and the same? Just curious. If not perhaps they are long lost twins.

    Not at all. When someone says "always", it's pretty clear to any thinking human being that there will be anecdotal examples to the contrary. I'll dumb it down for the 3rd-tier law grad and you. The vast majority of people who use the term "chickenhawks" loath the military because they themselves are cowards. Period. That you come in with claims after the fact of doing any number of things is not convincing, as you've been proven to be a serial liar. "I know nothing about running a business? I owned a successful business!". No, you didn't. People who who successful business don't end up being a hireling for some yahoo as you've described here. Same thing with the military. Only when you are getting destroyed here does another falsehood come out like you served. You did not.
    But while I have you on the horn......do you think bombing and killing hundreds if not thousands of Libyan citizens would have solved anything?
    I do not. I do not pretend that there is a solvable problem in the entire region.

    And how exactly you are permitted to post here is quite remarkable. If this isn't a viscious attack, I don't know what is. BTW....I have never lied on this website or any other. Not ever...not even one time. There is no reason to do so. Your childishness directly relates to your inability to win a debate with me.

    "I know nothing about running a business? I owned a successful business!". No, you didn't.
    It's too bad that I can't hold you accountable for this. You want to put your money where your mouth is? Anytime you want to meet with me I would be happy to show you my business licences, schedules C's or anthing else. All you have to do is bring the $50,000 in cash that I be quite happy to wager regarding your accusation. Self employed for a long, long time. Made a pile of money and because of specific health problems directly related to the type of products I dealt with, I was forced to leave...not only my company, but the industry itself.
    People who who successful business don't end up being a hireling for some yahoo as you've described here.
    Your ignorance is glaring. People leave self employment for a wide array of reasons. I explained the reason why above. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
    Same thing with the military. Only when you are getting destroyed here does another falsehood come out like you served. You did not.
    Again, why the mods put up with your personal attacks is truly remarkable. It really is. You act that way because you could never, ever hold a candle to me in debating a subject....any subject. Do you act like that in real life?

    As for my military service, I've made it very, very, very clear. I was drafted....but never served...the war ended after my physical, but before I had to go to boot camp. I didn't use deferments like Cheney did.

    My draft number was 59....born in 53. Look it up Cletus. Born: 10-16-53.

    Note to the mods......is this the type of tripe permitted here? Well is it? Because if it is....PM me and let me know. Because I will retaliate in kind to this slimeball. It's your call. Lemme know.

    Boatshoes and I are miles apart on several political issues. Are you that blind? Or is it that you don't comprehend things very well? But as for "internet separated at birth"...or having multiple screen names, you, QueenCity and Big AppleBuckeye have very similar IP addresses I am certain. Coinky dink? Don't think so.

    Well then I obviously misunderstood O Trap's question. But I will say this....There are plenty of right winged neocons that salivate at the thought of bombing Libya...and Iran too for that matter. It's what they live for.
