mcraig comments on Unemployment increased 1.7 pct to 12.9% in Colombia

give it rest I was just making a joke like we all have been through it !

An my education back ground or degrees is in international Economics
from Texas Tech University so there is no need to inform me on any historical economic facts thank you.

Plus , Ford handed over to Jimmy Carter a stable economy for which Jimmy Carter an an democratic house an senate changed the economic structure by going to tax an spend economics whcih drove this country to nearly being bankrupt for the second time in our 250 year history. What the IRS tazed as being rich was up 85% of there income so we had the rich not investing in or creating jobs. TAX an Spend democratic policy has never worked one time in our countries history. The last time it was tried for one year year under Clinton in 1993 the largest tax increase ever the economy was sinking an cost us jobs . One year later Clinton lowered Taxes to save us from going into complete recession if you recall.

I could continue but its kinda like speaking down to someone on this subject an I dont want to insult anyone.

 

mcraig comments on American Whiskey in Colombia

All the men in my family Drink the JD there all from Tenn Except me , I was raised in Texas an hated Jack Daniels when i was young sneeking it out of the house or bar in our house. But , something happened through college i went back to johnnie Black when i drink. Jack Daniels Tells no lies its the same everytime you start drinking it you can tell how much someone has had just by looking at them. If you wanna have a good time but not be too out of control just have five or six JD W/water an lime wedge over a couple two or three hours , if you wanna be fist fighing out in the parking lot drink 10 or more w/coke an lime , If you wanna be lost when you wake up an not know where the hell you are just keep drinking it till you dont remember.

Jack Daniels the best damm US product made

mcraig comments on Uribe vs. the Drug Thugs

Nato in afganastan 10/16/2006 destroyed 16 tones of poppy , heroin an killed 17 militants. The war on drugs in afganstan is just starting to prosper give them a few years nobody is leaving afganstan anytime soon.

 

mcraig comments on Tougher Challenges Ahead for Colombia's Uribe

A military solution is a available an will work It took more than four years for the cartels an kingpins to build there empires it will take more than four years to bring them down. But there is a military solution believe me look at how far it has come to this point.

Uribe just needs to keep the country open to internation business an american companies an Latin american companies will keep investing an keep bringing in jobs. Colombia does not produce jobs but prosperous business enviroment bring in outside sompanies coming to colombia to creat jobs.

 

mcraig comments on Hispanics or Latinos?

I think people are too racial sensative to split hairs over such petty issue. Caucasians are called white, cracker, gringo none of that ever made me feel offended. So why would hispanic or latino offends someone ??????? do you think we should just say brown or olive or black. Racial sensativity has just gone over board for too long.

mcraig comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot

Unions are gone miamimike havent you been watching Unions have lost ther purpose in this country once a great equilizer between ownership an employee now does nothing but lose americans jobs. My grandfather was over the US bricklayers union till 1985 in DC it was great way to get unskilled labors training an get them good pay now its nothing more than a political snow job that gets jobe sent to other countries an allow for more illegals to be hired. I buy gas as the closest most convenient spot but I will not buy gas at citgo , even if I ran out of case in front of citgo I would push or try to pust my Cherokee to the next gas station on principal alone. Someone has to stand for something when its important.

 

mcraig comments on poorbuthappy.com/chavez

Your assumptions are wroing chavez an colombia is major topic Latin America can all be brought together by there economy , brazil right now is creating more jobs for colombians than the colombia goverment does. Chavez is tryint to spread his virus of anti ameican BS in every latin american country including colombia an its neighbore. An guess who has all the energy that Colombia usues , Chavez an bolivia so the topic of chavez is a strong topic in the colombian economy an political realm an should be treated as such.

 

mcraig comments on FARC says that Uribe should decree DMZ

Same old plan that has already been tried an not worked Who cares what the Farc wants smoke them out an kill them till there
all dead just like Taliban an Iraqi insurgency you do not negotiate with people that want to kill you . You kill them first.

 

mcraig comments on The Colombian Military

Why do you people not learn about plan colombia Plan colombia is an agreement asked (begged for) by the colombian goverment. For some reason you think the US goverment just started Plan colombia an off we went. Wrong , Colombia came begging us for help , there was a long period of debate in the house an senate to even help the colombians. Colombians wanted us to put US troops on the ground, use our security equipment, get military weaponary from us an etc, We settled on giving them the military equipment, money for plan colombia, some actual miltary training an to let military contractors legally help with so more training.

We are not there to fight your war , we are just there to give you the equipmnet an trainging to stand up for your democracy against terroism. An sll we ever hear about is the complaining the americans are doing something wrong. We have no part in it an who cares how many people die as long as the country wins the firght against the farc an ElN an whoever else wants to get in the way. Colombians have a missions just like the iraqi's have mission stand up for your self an win your country back.

Novak has become right wing nut job in the past ten years an that is coming from a conservative he has no business still being involved in politics.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez challenges doctrine that wealth creation will help poor

Blame bush for the steel industry Hello how far are you out ther China dropped tons of cheap steel into the US market almost putting them all out of business, Bush put a tax on it just like China puts a huge tax on everyone of our products.

get the warped anti bush shit out of you system he is not running for office again so are you goihg blame now huh?

 

mcraig comments on Chavez challenges doctrine that wealth creation will help poor

VEN people are no better off with chavez outlandish poverty has not stopped , education children has not begun. The better paying jobs or even labor work jobs have not increased. Capitolism works socialism bankrupts, you do not give people anything but a chance for a better future an its there job to do it. Hand outs are only for emergencies an are to be paid back as soon as you can its not a away of life.

 

mcraig comments on Good companies coming to Colombia meaning jobs an better lives for the area

what is your point ? The US should feel bad that we do whats right create jobs taken in taxes an have the biggest economy in the world. Well we worked our way up from sweatshops in the 1800', agriculture fields an this is what we have earned. We cant help it if we give other company monies to do the same thing an they screw up an pocket for them selves. other countries forgets the struggle of americans an they think they should be right up where americans are at without making the sacrifice its BS.

 

mcraig comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot

the store telling you that it had nothing to do with chavez is just cover , they did it exactly because of chavez/

 

mcraig comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot

miami mike did you work for 7-eleven? They have some great stores all over maybe you just got the bad ones , Texas for instance there the best big drinks or slurpee's man can have enough of those slurpee's I have been addicted to since I was in elementary school. 5100 stores an growing

 

mcraig comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot

7 eleven doesnt own gas companies an chavez's gas is the cheapest around . an when you hear
hard core anti bush democrats outraged at chaves talking about bush
the way he did. then you really no chavez screwed up an he will pay

 

mcraig comments on 7-eleven gives Chavez an Citgo the boot

the story by the company The get cheaper gas with chavez than they get at the three refinaries that are now supplying them an they cut off Citgo our chavez completely. 5100 7-eleven stores tell me that doesnt hurt. There is going to be a growing grass roots effort to not buy citgo gas anywhere watch.

 

mcraig comments on Good companies coming to Colombia meaning jobs an better lives for the area

Its called Capitolism are you trying to tell me that any of the latin american socialist countries have the opportunities that americans do? I hope not . We tried taxing the rich one time under president carter an it almost drove us bankrupt. Rich people keep there money in the banks when there taxed more , when there taxed less they invest there money an companies grow an people get jobs. Socialism has never worked China is about to blow up an there only coming to the industrial age which we went through in the late 1800's an early 1900's. An socialism brought down russian it can bring down any latin american country today as well.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez wants nuclear technology from Iran to build nuclear plants BOMBS

Un security council You dont think the US has enough power in the security council to not allow Venezuela in ever? give us all break . Chavez is a little man with a big mouth that leads a poor third world country an alligns himself with Cuba. Have you seen Cuba in the past 50 years there poorer the VEN so how is that going to be a plus for the citizens of VEN , or aligning yourself with Bolivia have you seen how poor bolvia is ? Chavez is nothihg to president bush or the US people just a sawed off fat ass with a big mouth.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez wants nuclear technology from Iran to build nuclear plants BOMBS

Brazil is as stable as any china company or EU company But brazil is going to be the most powerful economy in latin america because they are doing right. There shaking out the criminal element in goverment, there cutting any bad business men in companies by adhering to US trading laws concerning reporting. An companies I buy stocks in have already set them selves up for the future. Braskem SA will have its ethanol production faciltiy opened in 2007 that will be one of the largetst in the world. An the US an china will be its biggest buyers. GGB steel now owns an operates 17 steel planst in the US plus all the ones in brazil an other countries. An GNA its spin off in america is at ten dollars a share an it taking market share buy sellling its steel product cheaper an fast with a its distribution channels already set up .

Brazil is way ahead of any country besides in setting itself up to be a world economic power the right way. Dont forget there oil efficent already.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

Again Chavez oil can be replaced The US would much druther deal with Mexico who we are increasing our purchases from for our oil. An we have guranteed billions of dollars to purchase ethanol from brazil to replace MTA . Which is a gas additive that is a carcingen an must be replaced by the first of the year. And do you think if we tell china where going to be put a tarriff on there goods if they deal with Ven or Iran for there oil they wouldnt do it . US purchase are far more important to china than any country in the world, We can cut of an get rid of Chavez any time we want.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez challenges doctrine that wealth creation will help poor

Chavez Is not a world leader he is the leader of a piss ant little third world country. Chavez a world leader what a joke. Venezuela could be wiped off the face tommorow an it wouldnt affect the US one bit. Chavez world leader thats funny as hell.

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

Chavez an Evo from bolivia are about to face the truth of what energy production means. Soon as the US cuts off Citgo an Ven then lets see what happens to chavez he sales 80% of his oil to the US. An the EVO fellow from bolivia that followed the lead from Chavez to kick out all the american companies now sits on untapped natural gas fields with know knowledge of how to get it out of there or invetment to get him the equipment to get it out there. So these two idiots are really going to be able to give there people a new economy. The people in there country will get rid of them because they dont have a clue on how to run a succesful economy.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

Bush didnt stand in silence He wasnt even there, he gave his speech in the morning an left . Different from chavez our president has plenty of work to be doing then sitting at the UN all day.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

When some of the democratic senators that bash bush all the time come out an make speeches while Chavez is in the country telling him to shut his mouth up an go home . Then you know how little the US cares about Chavez. Did you hear the one democratic senator that called a press conference in New York after Chavez spoke , this being a senator that has done nothing but attack bush for six years did you hear what he said. He said you dont come to my country an run my president down, you dont come to my city an run down my president, an you dont come into my local district an run my country an my president down. Now do you think chavez knows how little he matters.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

You never hear bush say a thing about Chavez you know why He is not important in the big picture of the world an as hard as he tries he never will be. You think the USA has time to worry about the head of a third world country its like when the leaders of the Congo gripe about bush you think he has time to care about them. They wish !

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

Chavez Whay are you worried about a third world wannabe thug. His countryment are broke an he is buying weapon systems. His days are numbered an the fact he went home an lied about Bush wanting to assainate him. He wishes he was that important. He will be pulled off some roof top like noriega was in Panama begging for his life an looking like a punk soon enough. He is an uneducated idiot.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez at UN

All Chaves did is hurt himself What kinda of idiot mal contient goes infront of the UN body an acts like an idiot. All he has done is make himself the enemy of the american people. An just watch how we turn away from Citgo an watch how fast we stop buying oil from Venzuela. Mexico has found more oil a few months back that will make its reserves just as large as Ven. Chavez days are numbered.

 

mcraig comments on

dough I am sure the US an Colombia split it or they put back in the plan colombia fund for reward money an military equipment an training. An dont forget you gotta pay those attorney fees

 

mcraig comments on Chavez wants nuclear technology from Iran to build nuclear plants BOMBS

It doesnt say politics an war in colombia your just saying that because everyone hammers your so called facts on the world everytime you post.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Protecting oil lines so a democracy has money to run its goverment an give its citizens better public sercices is wrong an should be stopped , again join the real world.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

go to jail for what protecting people ??????????? You have a screw lose dont you ? I mean since yoo have not given a drop of nothing for your freedom of speech while otheres have died for it then you allowed to call them criminals. get real

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

An you have american retired officers in Colombia losing there lives fighting Farc. That means two countries are helping one another.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

afganastan over the Teleban leadership Lets see your point is your free when there stoning women on saturday afternoons at soccer stadiums because of accusations of miscondact without rebuttal , your idea is free is when your goverment faciltates an trains Al queda in your country, your free whne your goverment sales heroin around the world to buy weapons, your free when your citizens have no rights but muslim rights an if they break muslim law they are killed.

Compared to people being free an voting on there leadership man your idealogue is ridicoulous.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

As far as i am concerned the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima An hitler was a great man is that what you telling us as well. The terroist attack was the attack on pearl harbor to get us in the war. Read history before you make yourself look foolish.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Oh lord you do need a history class If you remember correctly , the reason we dropped the first bomb is because the projected number of american lives that would be lost taking tokyo from islands to the mainland was estimated to be 250,000. That really tells you again Japan was about ready to surrender right. The bomb was dropped to save those american lives an end the war. Once the first nuke was dropped the leadership of Japan did not want to surrender unless it was on there own terms there for the second bomb was dropped.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

apologize FredGarvin I posted you by mistake , it was was suppose to go to the guy that was calling Iraq an WW2 a disastour.

 

mcraig comments on Chavez wants nuclear technology from Iran to build nuclear plants BOMBS

The dems go down in november There are not enough open seats for the democrats to win the house or senate they no this. An this country while we are at war will never vote a democrat in office dems have proven over an over again they cannot keep us safe. Please check into Al quieda becoming a terroist group in 1992 an training 30,000 terroist till 2000 an president clinton did nothing to stop it from happening even after they killed americans trying to feed the country of Somalia, trying to refuel a tanker in yemen an trying to bomb WTC the first time.

The US is now the largest purchaser of ehtanol from brazil even though the congress has put a tax on there imports. Bush adminstration has shown brazil how to set up there marketing in a country that the senate does not have tarriffs on there imports. Democratic senators in farming states are the ones that are holding up all the use of ethanol because they want the country to wait until our subsidised farmets get up to speed.

I have almost all my kids college money invested in Brazil an the most of it is in BAk Braskem BA because they produce the chemicals that break down sugar cane into ethanol an are finishing up on a plant in San Paublo with the countries oil company that will produce up to 1.5 million barrels of ethanol a day an guess why there doing this? Because the bush admin said where going to buy, an the chineese said we are going to buy. So in the next 20 years the US an china an exspecially china will be burning ethanol china is putting together a whole energy sector of alternative energy for there whole country they just paid billions to GE to set it all up for them this week. Solar, ethanol , light bulbs , hydroelectric plants you name it china wants it.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Haliburton does not stiff hired security forces just look at all the ones in Colombia do you think they would be there if they where getting stiffed an not paid.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

incarcerating japaneese when they where going to surrender Have you ever picked up a history book an read anything about WW2??? You do know there was two bombs dropped dont you ? The japaneese who bombed the US on its on soul to get America in the war also was giving the opportunity to surrender after the first nuke dropped an they did'nt want to surrender there fore we dropped a second nuke then they decided to surrender. The reason they didnt surrender after the first nuke was because president or dictator of Japan would not surrender if he was not aloud to stay in charge of Japan an its goverment.

gee whiz where to you get your facts from.

Now look what america started there a democracy with peace an individual freedoms.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Morally questionable Morally speaking Saddam hussein gasing women an children because of there kurdish race is morally correct then an he shouldnt be stopped. Saddam Hussein murding one million of his countrmen during his tenure as dictator is morally just an taking him out of power is morally wrong. Maybe you should read the bible an figure out morality compared to religion an those who fight for the welfare of needy. The meak will inheritat the earth remember that!

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Fred just because you are a free loader on freedoms Doesnt mean that you have to dream up reasons this war is wrong.Coming from a father who spent spent two tours in Vietnam with a purple heart an a granfather that went to WW2 when he was sixteen years old an then got called back up in Korea you make me sick. Seeing liberals took the childhood of both my father an grandad an lost nearly 300,000 men getting a mission done an my father to a war that lost 58,000 men that was truely a ridicoulous meaningless war your number of 2,500 KIA is astonishing to lose so few brave men taking over two countries an giving freedome to 28 million. An then again for some reason you think freedom is free would you please look at how man american lives where lost for our freedoms an then give us your 100,000 (proven lie facts are 30,000)stupidity numbers.

An then let me guess you would of taken the Clinton admin attempt at foriegn policy which during the years of 1992-2000 Al queda trained 30000 terroist an bombed us on our soil an foriegn lands an did nothing. Now , you want to blame someone else for taking care of the problem that you liberals left. Clinton's policy in N korea that now leaves us with a country that has 10 nuclear warheads an then you want to blame someone else. Iraq did not live up to its obligations to the UN for taking over a country an killing innocent men, women an children for oil an land, he was given 12 years an 17 UN chances an its our fault for making him live up to his obligations, You have prolbems with history buddy there has never been freedom with out war that is why freedom is precious not just some granted gift you think it is because you didnt have to do anything for it.

Iraq a mess 15 of 18 provinces you have no violence , you have wiped out most of Al quieda an with the help of several countries we are building clean water plants, electircity grids , schools ,goverment offices. An somehow you call this a failure pick up a history book an read a little because your sense of the truth has failed you.An when your a super power it doesnt mean you use your power by sitting on your butt it means you help people an that is what we are doing.

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Still dont get it do you Iraq a mess What do you want to do put Saddam back in power, the president that gased 10,000 men women an children of his country. A president that in his tenure has killed a million of his country men with rape rooms, torture rooms , keeping its country money to build mansions instead of feeding the poor. The biggest projects going on in Iraq is the clean water an sewage an electicity because the poor had sewage water to drink an kids where dying by the thousands every year because of diesease. IS THIS THE MESS YOUR TALKING ABOUT !

LIBERALS STINK !

 

mcraig comments on Retired Colombian Military fighting for freedom in Iraq next to Americans

Dont compare the farc to the military men from these latin american countries , thats like comparing the class of the country to the thieves.

 

mcraig comments on No bombs, new administration, hooray

Uribe live on man ! Uribe is the president the Colombians could ever hope for , I hope he stays 30 years. Amend the constitution now to let him stay as long as he is healthy an his mind is good.
