JOHNNY CASH LYRICS
"A Boy Named Sue"

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

It's clear Trump isn't a Christian, he bears false witness against many people on a daily basis. You'd think his real name is Sue.

I agree, he is a politician.

Well, there certainly are parallels between L. Ron Hubbard and Donald Trump, but Trump doesn't even write his books, and would never be something as sophisticated as a science fiction writer. He has absolutely no class.

 

[Rozman]

How long into the trump term before Trump's supporters realize they were scammed.
How long before they admit they were scammed....

Isis is still running around...
Not a lot of jobs created.
Budget is running a deficit...
Trump killed O Care....Doesn't replace it....
Wall on the southern border is the same....
Violence in Chicago is the same.

Is Donald Trump the new George Wallace? Silvio Berlusconi? Adolf Hitler?

Could be. But at least as much as a southern segregationist, rich pervert turned politico, or genocidal fascist, Trump resembles L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the pyramid-scheme-masquerading-as-religion known as Scientology.

Consider: both men are (or, in Hubbard’s case, were) narcissistic, autocratic, money-obsessed, pathological liars and would-be sexual conquerors who built business empires for the primary purpose of self-enrichment under glitz-drenched brands maintained by fraud and advanced by uncompromising litigiousness and occasional physical aggression against critics.

Hubbard died in 1986, though perhaps only corporeally. He claimed he was Cecil Rhodes in a previous life and today may be inhabiting the soul of Donald Trump for all we know; at the least the two men bear some resemblance.

Both are defined by compulsive acquisitiveness. “MAKE MONEY. MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY,” Hubbard wrote to underlings in an early Scientology “Governing Policy” document. “MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MONEY.”

Trump’s complaints of being unfairly audited by the IRS echo Scientology’s decades-long battle with the taxman; Hubbard was himself named an unindicted co-conspirator to a covert, 1973 Scientology operation dubbed “Snow White” aimed at infiltrating the agency.

Hubbard was also one of the great frauds of the 20th century. A man who lied about nearly every aspect of his biography and repeatedly bragged about imaginary feats of daring and physical bravery, his breathless, downright Trumpian testaments to his own genius and courage were mere preparation for the greatest lie of them all: that he had unlocked the secrets of the human mind in the form of “Dianetics,” the pseudoscience at the heart of Scientology. Hubbard used to claim that “auditing,” a process in which one holds onto electrically charged metal cans and talks about past life experiences, could raise people’s I.Q. by one point per hour.

In one of the many legal cases brought by the Church against ex-Scientologists or critics, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge deemed Hubbard “a pathological liar” driven by “egotism, greed, avarice, lust for power and vindictiveness and aggressiveness against persons perceived by him to be disloyal or hostile.” Sound familiar?

Much as Trump surrounds himself with sycophants and media supplicants, Scientologists venerate Hubbard as a sort of man-god; his portrait, which followers salute while shouting “hip hip hooray,” is ubiquitous in Church establishments.

Question for the Trump supporters: Why do you support Trump? What is it about his policies or stance that resonates the most with you?

This question has been repeatedly asked and answered.

It is not credible that you have missed this.


The asking of this question, with this spin at this late date is nothing but dishonest propaganda.



Want something real?


I support Trump's position on Trade which was proved to be right by the recent WTO Airbus ruling, which found massive government subsidies to Airbus which the EU is refusing to stop.

And you are the Pee Wee Herman of posters.

Even Democrats right now are saying "what was wrong with Mitt Romney again". Escroto Trump has that effect on people. That he would join a cult as a religion would come as no surprise.

I forgot about this epic thread. Thanks fro teh bump!

The biggest danger in having a belligerent and confusing person (i.e. Donald Trump), as Commander-in-Chief of the US Nuclear Arsenal, comes from the potential that such a person would have for accidentally causing the use of nuclear weapons by Russia, against the United States.

Check out a paper titled ‘Accidental Nuclear War – The Real Danger of a Donald Trump Presidency’ at www.nucleardanger.org.

That is very interesting, but only deals with nuclear weapons against Russia.

In my opinion, there is an even bigger chance that he would use nuclear weapons against a city in Syria or Iraq, or perhaps against Iran or North Korea.

And a scenario like, for example, Duterte nationalizing Trump Tower in Manila could definitely lead to some military response, not saying that that particular scenario is likely, but any kind of similar scenario would be quite dangerous.

Question for the Trump supporters: Why do you support Trump? What is it about his policies or stance that resonates the most with you?

Donald Trump is more Democrat than Republican which is probably why you Democrats hate him so much. People always hate in others what they hate about themselves the most. The reason he got elected is because he is a populist president with a protectionist pledge. We'll see what really happens from here.

Republicans voted for him because he wasn't Hillary. The real question you have to ask yourself is why did the Democrats vote for him.

He's not Hillary, for me there is nothing else or anything else that matters, as far as I'm concerned his job is done.
