Two movies....

Saw two movies lately that had lots of unsettling resemblance to what's been happening in our country in the last few years -- All the President's Men and Good Night and Good Luck.
In particular, the steadfast denials of any corruption or wrongdoing by the big men in power (Nixon), and the paranoid accusations and witch hunt to serve a personal agenda (McCarthy). Ick. Why do cultures/humans seem unable to learn from their own history? Why are we doomed to repeat our mistakes? Just rhetorical questions here.

I think you have been watching too may movies,
they don't have to kill anyone to get those.
Don't go to the movies or watch TV and maybe they will

What truth? You have watched too many war movies. SM
The trauma to the Vietnam veterans was as much from the way they were treated when they returned home and the war protestors they listened to when they were dying in the fields as from the war. Many MANY books have been written about this. Educate yourself. As far as calling people "pukes" I won't even comment on that. You make all liberals look bad. Please stop it.
Wow....you're watching too many movies hon!
Never said anything about indoctrinated and embedded. I said he is a Muslim, raised by Muslims in a Muslim country, taught Islam as his religion until he was grown, and the list goes on and on. He knows Muslim teaching is not open to Christians or Jews AT ALL; matter of fact, they teach hatred of Christians and Jews. If he were a Christian, he would not pass up the opportunity to honor our day of prayer, but the fact that he will "hide" in the white house as if it's not important, especially in this economy, is just a sure fire way of kissing up to his Muslim brothers.... he doesn't want to insult them..... Heaven forbid!!!

You people watch too many movies.
Sheesh.....I forgot about the sleep deprivation. I do believe I suffer from that with my kids, work, etc. So I do sympathize but really don't see that as torture. Oh...and let us not forget the bug. LOL!
The reason those people are in Gitmo is because they were either captured or they had their names turned in by fellow terrorists, etc. We didn't just go out rounding up guys in turbines and torturing them until they confessed to being terrorists.
You should stop watching so many scary movies! Geez.nm
