Yeah, like we need more terrorists in Gitmo for the bleeding hearts to wet their pants over. That's something that Bush caused. Now when we see them we blow their brains out and move on to the next one.
It certainly did. Even Leon Panetta admitted that. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...aterboarding-led-us-to-osama-bin-laden-video/
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tr...s-lifeline-hoax-and-related-claims-2012-10-11 "FACT #2: Taxpayers do not pay a penny for wireless Lifeline. Cutting the Lifeline program will not reduce the federal deficit by one cent. That is because federal funds do not pay for Lifeline. The program is not funded with tax dollars. Instead, this program is funded by contributions from telecommunications companies, which can elect to share the costs of those contributions with their subscribers. Companies that offer free wireless cell phone services pay for the phone themselves. Far from imposing a burden on taxpayers, wireless Lifeline has been documented to help low-income people find and keep jobs, which ultimately reduces spending on public assistance programs. " as the other link I posted showed, it's not the government but the carriers that decide who to give this too, kinda like the electric company helps low income people people have switched from landlines to cel phones - one per household, landlines went down, cell phones went up Bush started the program in 2008, it's has ramped up sense then is no supprise as it probably did not even get implemented until 2009 or 2010 knowing how slow government moves . .
Why do you give a rat's behind who they call? Do you want them to call you? Besides, all phone calls are recorded as part of our permanent records. Let some bureaucrat worry about it. That's what they get paid for.
It is rather comical how well we treat the terrorists at GITMO. But without bleeding heart liberals to protect them the US extracted useful information from the Islamic wackos we captured. And zero info from the ones that Obama blasted with drone strikes.
Dang it! There you go with those nasty facts that don't fit people's emotionally clouded vision of reality. Someone called them "Obama phones" and since they hate Obama he's the one providing them to all of those deadbeats across the country. That's what Rush said. - - - Updated - - - If the system is open to abuse get one for yourself.
We must have had some useful information from somewhere since we continue to blast terrorists from the sky. Maybe we get it from those Obama phone conversations.
What garbage!! The Right Wing BS and lies abound, as always! There is a qualification form to feel put requiring specific identifying information, and actual accounts and proof of low income, of which an EBT card can be one. So is a Social Security statement and other low income verification. But each person gets ONE, and ONLY ONE phone.The little movies of some street woman with a box of phones claiming they are "Obamaphones" is the usually Right Wing propaganda looney tunes! They probably gave the old lady a piece of crack to get her to lie for them. How valuable are "Obamaphones"??? Here is a nice brand new one that is a better phone than the free Obamaphone. It costs $9.88 at Walmart, and includes a bunch of minutes. The resale value of an Obamaphone phone is not going to buy ANYONE any heroin, and you get ONE. That is it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/TracFone-Samsung-S125G-Prepaid-Cell-Phone-Bundle/20933059
We extracted close to zero useful information from the mostly cab drivers and storekeepers who who imprisoned at Gitmo in exchange for the reward money our troops handed out to all comers. People who reported rival suitors, rival businessmen, tribal enemies, and disliked family members just to get cash. What we got from the people under interrogation was a mass of fantasy stories and BS that the interrogators wanted to hear, and then used to justify getting MORE billions to enhance their "homeland security" agendas! A waste of money that makes the cost of Obamaphones look like spare change lost in the sofa.
Please forgive me for missing your post about you having an Obama phone. Your questions caused me to think that you didn't have one. Apologies.
Too bad Der Fuhrer didn't give an Obamaphone to the Boston bombers that the Russians warned us about.
Yet waterboarding is rather inexpensive. Just a reusable towel and a bucket of water. How sad that Obama and the libs insist on doing everything the hard way.
You can get one if you are creative. You certainly keep me entertained with your stories. It'll be a snap. As it has been pointed out, countless millions of people have multiple Obama phones. You won't have any trouble getting one.
I'll be laughing all day! Glance over to your right and up a bit --------------------------------------------------------------->
Because of advances in technology and infrastructure cellphones are quickly becoming much cheaper than landlines. Those of us who know history are aware of the fact that the program originally started when Lincoln was President (before the telephone was even invented) to finance a telegraph line along the railroad tracks to California. Therefore the people who are crediting and/or blaming Bush or Obama or Reagan or whoever are simply spewing ignorant BS IMNSHO.The program began before any of them were even born.
How amazing is that! Instantaneous conversation with someone on the other side of the world. Just fill out the form and they will send you one. It's part of our people-to-people diplomatic outreach program.
torture costs a lot more then that, what are we gonna say now if another country does that to OUR soldiers.... that is the sad truth of the matter
The terrorists are soldiers? If so then we have the right to detain them forever without a trial. And we don't have to furnish them with a tennis court and gym either. The Taliban cut people's heads off so don't expect them to play by your rules.
"Life was a bowl of cherries in 1890 NYC" Taxcutter asks: What does NYC in 1890 have to do with a program that gives free stuff to people that have no use for it?
