Re: The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

Not with God on our side:
2Ch:13:1: Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
[…]
2Ch:13:3: And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
2Ch:13:4: And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
[…]
2Ch:13:12: And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
2Ch:13:13: But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
2Ch:13:14: And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
2Ch:13:15: Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
2Ch:13:16: And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
2Ch:13:17: And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
2Ch:13:18: Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers

Seriously... WTF does this have to do with either economy or wars?
I've never seen Jesus charge an enemy with M16, or press the buton to launch a tactical missile. ERGO: Jesus can't affect wars!

That if Rats had the brains of a human, we'd all be dead or working in mines and stuf.

Aaand, no... 'god' won't save us if rats grow a brain and attack us

Jesus is God; part of the Holy Trinity. God decides the outcome of wars. God sides with those who believe.

You have never seen a man charge the enemy with an M16, or press the button to launch a tactical missile. ERGO: man can't affect wars!

Bottom line, China would rape America in a war, end of. Jesus won't help you, if he did then he would have won you the vietnam war.

We DID win the Vietnam War!! Just take a look at the brand new Saigon Park Hyatt, where I stay at least three times a year when I travel to Vietnam to tour my sweatshops clean and humane factories.....



American-style capitalism is alive and well all over southeast Asia, and especially in Vietnam, one of our top trading partners!! The government there loves the investment I've been making in underground organ harvesting parlors health care facilities!! Just look at this happy customer...



So don't tell me America didn't win the Vietnam War. We did. It just took a little longer than we thought.

Re: The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

I think it would be prudent during this "temporary slowdown" to cease foreign aid to any other countries. Money kept at home is money working hard for Americans I say.

Let everyone else grow their own food like our Godly hardworking citizens do. Some would tell us that American companies take advantage of these poor disenfranchised gooks but that is hogwash. If they can make $0.12/hour they just need to arrange their schedules to support a 8333 hour workweek so they can average $1000 (US Dollars) a week. Where's the unfairness there. I work long and hard and by golly those Godless gooks can too.

Re: The economy is doing FINE by historical standards!

If you won then why is there still a communist goverenment in vietnam? that was the goal of the vietnam, to stop communism and if you don't achive the goal of a war and pull out of a country then you have just lost that war. Kerplunki Zerplopski and Just Jimi i thank you

Fat chance, buddy. China's military is limited, and continues to decline. Their technology is aging and their capabilities are limited. In any attempted nuclear war, China would be decimated in the first hour. As to their population, I'm not sure how they would all get over here to occupy the United States – perhaps hand paddle themselves over here in their Sampans.

You and your cohorts are complete imbeciles. China and Vietnam have both instituted market reforms in their so-called "communist" systems and are on the road to capitalism. Godless communism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Get used to it, Jesus is winning.

Glory!

China's military is modernizing, but there are distinct limits to the modernization program. First, the current force structure is so old that the rate of retirement will exceed the rate of acquisition in all major weapons categories, with the possible exception of major surface combatants. This means that the size of China’s armed forces will continue a recent pattern of decline, and to drop quite steeply in some cases, such as combat aircraft. The only exception may be China's surface combat ships. (See China versus Region charts.)

Second, the modernization is proceeding slowly and in a piecemeal manner. All military forces take a significant amount of time to integrate new weapon systems into its forces; for China the process seems to take longer than most.

Third, China is adding only a handful of modern systems to its inventory. New systems are purchased in small batches or singly, which is cannot dramatically change the balance of power. Moreover, while "modern" relative to existing Chinese systems, current acquisitions from Russia are not as capable as the comparable systems fielded by the United States or even Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan (in some areas).

Finally, China's military modernization plan has highlighted the inability of the indigenous arms industry in China to produce the advanced technology weapon systems that the military wants. The recent return to dependence on foreign assistance (specifically, aircraft and naval vessels from Russia, and technical assistance from Israel) runs contrary to the Chinese government’s desire to fully control its own military destiny.

China may eventually change its policies and invest more financial resources in military modernization; but for the foreseeable future, China's potential for military action in Taiwan and other areas will remain limited. China may take a more active military role in its region, but the overall balance of power in East Asia will remain unchanged.

The goal of the Vietnam war was the same as the goal of the Cold war; to CONTAIN Godless communism and halt it's spread. That has clearly been accomplished, with Jesus' help. In fact, communism is in rapid decline all over the world. Brother Monty's international business interests are testament to that. He has business luncheons with high-level government leaders in Vietnam and China on a regular basis. They seek him out for profitadvice and counsel.

If you and your fag pals Zeplopski and Jimi think communism is so wonderful, then why don't you move to Vietnam? I'm sure you'd be happy there, working in a sweatshop clean and safe factory sewing Levis for The Gap©.
