Re: an article of theirs called: When China Rules the Universe

my comment: China will rule one day, thanks to your friend bush, who's put us into such debt. You at NRO, must be very proud of your fellow Republican.

Their Answer:

Which is more relevant to China's ambitions, our debt or the massive nuclear and missile technology heist that the Clintonistas enabled? We can play partisan games, but I'll win.

1. You might want to write them back and let them know

that Bush sold the same info to them claiming that to do otherwise would only create a black market

[Why Syzygy]

2. I would go out of what is left of my mind

trying to answer that. "Clintonistas"?

Sorry. Do not go there. Hazardous waste.

3. The rise and fall of countries results from economics

Not military strength. I don't worry about a Chinese military invasion. I worry about China replacing the US as the economic leader of the world.

4. There ya go! The Chinese are killing us with economics

There is no need to bomb us. Now, North Korea probably makes them nervous and keep their military guard up.

[jwirr]

5. Often that economic collapse is due to military overreach.

[Weembo]

6. Amen

[Nashyra]

8. They wil ruin us economically

just like we said we would spend the USSR into bankruptcy and of course collaspe is exactly what China will do to us.

7. Technology heist?

Uhm, what in hell are they talking about? Besides, as anyone who's been paying attention for the last, oh, 60 fucking years knows, tech secrets are the most ephemeral and fleeting of all.

But handing the keys to the federal Treasury over to the Chinese ensures that even the sons and daughters of National Review mucky-mucks will be working for folks for whom English isn't their first language.

9. How many military bases does China have on foreign soil?

Zero. That tell you anything?

10. all good responses, thanx

11. The response

about nuclear technology is the type of shallow thinking that is intended to substitute emotion for reason. A nuclear war is the very worst case scenario, something that most likely will never occur. The economic factors are an every day scenario, something that no one can deny is occuring each and every day, with the cooperation of the president.

12. I haven't noticed China pointing missiles at us

I have, however, noticed them sucking up the world oil supply, buying our factories and literally taking them apart and shipping them back home, destroying hundreds of U.S. corporations, sucking up hundreds of thousands of our jobs, and turning us into an international beggar.

Typical asshats at NRO, responding with an irrelevency.

13. "Clintonistas" - yawn - soooo 1990's

One of the easiest ways to tell someone has a weak argument is when they are the first to use Name-Calling.

14. Actually.."we can play partisan games"...

and no one will win, but both of you will waste a lot of time.

[No Exit]

15. Tell 'em about Tom Feeney, republican of Florida. Info on

Feeney can be found in the archives of the post-presidential election threads (regarding the repukes' 2004 election heist.)

Feeney has had some interesting contacts with Chinese. And I'm sure many/most of the repukes out there have, too.

I also seem to remember that one of the Bush Crime family members--either Neil or Marvin--has heavy dealing with the Chinese. Of course, Neil or Marvin would NEVER be involved in selling secrets, but...
