Fee---Tax--- Isn't that symantics? A drivers License FEE or a driving TAX?

[OntarioVanMan]

Medvedev's grim announcement, carried on national television, inspired jubilation on the streets of the rebel capitals. In the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali, a parade of cars bearing the South Ossetian and Russian flags blared their horns, women cried for joy and gunmen fired their weapons in the air.
The United States, surprised by the speed of the Russian response, threatened a veto in the U.N. Security Council should Russia ask for international recognition for the territories.
"Abkhazia and South Ossetia are a part of the internationally recognized borders of Georgia and it's going to remain so," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said. President Bush called the Russian move "irresponsible."

I don't understand what seems so hypicritcal of the US and the West. Not to allow these 2 regions to self-determination? Free Choice. The only reason I can see is the inherent problem the west had with Russia. You guys can call me blind or whatever but...so far Russians actions would mirror that of the West should the situation be reversed.

No it is not symantics, because a tax is levied by the government, not a company.

A fee is levied by the company, in this case to cover the cost of the process of certification.

People fall for the idea that they are being 'taxed', bring up the garbage argument 'taxation without representation' with this and the IRS argument without thinking. Much plays on the emotion of being cheated, being robbed and the powers above, democrats for example, push this form of class warfare on religious grounds - the Jews are stealing you money.

As for Georgia, the real issue for Georgia is that Russia gave these people citizenship to pressure Georgia and Russia wants the land. It is a throw back to Germany and the lost of Denzig.

This recent exchange started out as a somewhat interesting argument between two well-expressed sides, but from a spectator standpoint the focus seems to have been lost in insignificant minutia. First of all, if one doesn't want to pay the Kosher blessing fee all one has to do is look for the circled K or U on the product and don't buy it. That's what the free market is all about. Secondly, I wonder why I should give a rat's posterior about a collection of insignificant Zionist protocols written in the horse and buggy era by some pre-WWI crackpots? The idea that the Zionists control 96% of today's media and its content is just facetious, to put it mildly - especially with the influence of today's internet. Even if the Jews did have such control, they're sure doing a lousy job at being pro-Israeli.

I suppose it's enlightening to hear from someone who appears to represent a Muslim-Russian viewpoint, but the anti-Zionist propoganda just doesn't hold water. Anyone who is informed about the atrocities perpetrated by the Palestinians - whether it be by the Fatah or Hamas factions - understands that they are proxies of the Iranian govt. and their prime directive is to destroy Israel. Thus, the Israelis are forced to defend themselves in spite of giving way too many concessions in the name of peace and getting only rockets and suicide bombers in return. As far as Russia goes, we certainly need to maintain peaceful co-existance with them, but they need to understand there will limits to any efforts in trying to reassemble the old Soviet Union. One only has to look back at Hitler's agression that led up to WWII to understand why.

OVM, accoring to a well place sorce of mine, still in the business, the Russians (Soviets) put "agents", most likely KGB/GRU types, several months before this started. Those agents were making "Russian" citizens out of as many as they could. Then stired up the trouble. Typical Russian (Soviet) actions. Nothing new under the sun. I seen this stuff for 20 years.

1) Many good points..actually I am not pro anybody. I just get tired of idiots who don't have a clue what they are talking about just bash away friends I have or have known who are Islamic. Truth be known jews in isreal are just as horrible if not worse then the muslims are..and if anyone thinks this isn't so well the us news media does a fair job of reporting it....Yea lets see kids terrified and shot at, houses destroyed,farms destroyed...and these crazy Arabs throw rocks and organise and fight back because the jews are so nice to them> Now why would any one Islam, Jew, Goyim fight such nice people who would never harm a kid or make them live in Ghettos with our tax dollars. Anyone who believes Israelis are such nice, caring thoughtful people is a fool. People don't rise up in defence of themselves for being treated nice..Its the Arabs that have to defend themselves from Israeli Atrocities being committed quite freely with my tax dollars. And if you say anything the Holocaust comes up..Sad how they learned quite brutal tactics from the Nazi's and are using them 70 years later. Rockets and suicide bombers seem to be a pretty desperate people against US made Helicopter Gunships, tanks, jets, etc... What would cause a teenager to kill himself for their cause? Is it because the jews are such nice people and Arab gets treated so well?
President Carter stood up to expose the lie about the poor jewish people who just want peace and then he gets demonised by people who know more then he does who have never stepped a foot over there. I get amazed at these armchair generals who know so much.For the most part look at the sheeple in the US who blindly follow the leader. Realively safe,fed,why should they revolt to the wholesale dismantling of the Constitution of the USA? Almost everyone complains about taxes or illegals..Say anything in public your at best a radical and a biggit... A little over two hundred years ago a war was started over a tea tax.... Look at the taxes now we bend over over and take it.
2) Speaking of a tax the kosher tax is quite alive and real and yes it is a shake down and yes we do pay it for it. And almost every product you buy has been fleeced by these Con artist and their kosher tax . And yes we can dismiss it as a cost of business. SO yes we are paying for it. Is there a choice? Look in your pantry and notice all the tax you have given to these con artist just in the past week.



3) Click on the link here about zionist media ownership..

MediaChannel.org -- Media Ownership 2001

Read it and study...Notice how almost every bit of anti Christan anti family filth comes from these outfits?

Media Channel - Home

is there home page... And in truth if you think they (the Media)are doing a bad job...its to keep stirring it up they know quite well what they are doing

4) Why should you care about the protocols that supposedly were never written?... Study one at time, then pause and look around you see how many coincidences they are. It scares me...
Look at the Clinton and Bush Cabinets and see how many of these Zionist have dual citizenship. Then try to tell me they got Americas best interest at heart.

5) The peace I pasted about Pat Buchanan was right on about who the aggressor is..Did you notice how the media ever so slightly mentions about the oil pipeline coming out of Georgia..I wonder where the oil flows too? Then I wonder why American and Israeli troops, and advisers are there...I also wonder why America and Isreal gave their blessing to to the Muslims in Kosovo for breaking away? Some strange reason these Northern Provinces of ethnic Russians want to break away, Georgia starts a war with them,,,Russia comes to their aid and the Russians are the bad guys? I believe the US is still in Kosovo???..I forgot to mention that pipeline is in the Northern Province area..

Just a part of it..Not all of it. But then again look at Iraq and the coming war with Iran..

[OntarioVanMan]

hmmm man..we haven't really come so far from living in caves and dragging our knuckles and fighting over commodities be it food or oil. And we are civilized?
