Sensei: Before you come back with another drawn out lecture of history, further obfuscating the subject at hand, let me return to the original arguement. This whole post started as a debate about the comparison of Gitmo to the Gulag. I was watching CNN last night, you know that pro Bush bastion of conservatism, and the report was about the latest insghts into Gitmo. While the report was not positive in nature, they at least finalized

But you're the monster. And if being that way is the only way to be a patriot, well, then, fuck that. Ah, it seems you speak of your fears when I have said no such thing. Patriotism comes in many forms. I have NEVER nor will I ever insinuate that being willing to perform the necessary evils that many pe

either you don't realize the word has more than one meaning or you're choosing to fixate on a meaning that isnt applicable in this case. common sensei explained it more clearly and fully than i. the statement you found so puzzling wasn't referring to the area around the caspian sea. it related solely to the soviet union's campaig

Hussein's Ba'ath party was never a fundamentalist Islamic party Also, who is talking about Hussein? This link began as discussion of the gulag like conditions at guantanamo. Hell, Iraq stopped being about Saddam and his Ba'ath the day after we captured him. Because kingbee cannot address specific issu

Actually, Islam has probably hated both sides since around 1097, the time of the crusades. I actually do know a little history. And when I think of one culture influencing another, I think of America which has examples of architechture from many different cultures due to the many people that have come here from other countries and caused an influence . I think of the fact that our language is rife with words that origninate in other lan

I wish the left would stop bashing Bush already. It's time for them to accept the FACT that he was elected democratically by the American people. Instead of the bashing... let's see some lobbying for what they think might be better. If not, prepare for another Reublican victory in 2008! Therein lies

king, I have become convinced that you are the mastermind of a well thought out plan to drive all conservatives to the point of insanity so that we are not available to vote in the 2008 election; we will all either be dribbling idiots in an institution or will have committed suicide to escape your insanity inducing diatribes. I know I should just not click on a blog authored by kingbee, but it is an indescribably impossible temptation to resi

One last thought king, going back to the due process and detaining stuff. here's a link showing what your ACLU buddies create. Link A guy with a bloody chainsaw can't be held at the border. It appears even a bloody chainsaw is not enough evidence to deny someone their rights for a while if they have no warrants.

Probably because it is far easier to critique someone's leadership than it is to actually lead... Exactly why the dems lost more seats this last election. while they are oustanding critics, they offer no alternatives to current policy; only criticism and contradiction.

your list reminded me of something i found a couple years ago. it appears to be online and intact still so i'm providing a link. it's a fairly detailed timeline from 1948 to 9/11/01 listing hundreds of what surely seemed at the time unrelated events and decisions...yet taken together it becomes apparent each of them is another pa

Did you use a thesaurus for that rant or do you really know what all those words mean? I mean Holy crap, I copied and pasted that diatribe into microsoft word and even Bill gates didn't know what the hell you are talking about. I then put it into google and it came back with "did you mean Bush is the anti-Christ and everyone on the right bows before him?" <b

As far as the rights, I am repeating something I've put on a couple of blogs. A gay man has the same equal right as any straight man as regards marriage; he can marry any woman he wants to. Same for a Lesbian, she can marry any man she wants to. What gay men and women want are special rights not equal rights. I said on the Montgomery blog that I work in the Ansley area of Atlanta; a

kingbee: I'll not try to argue with you any longer. The way I see it is very simple. We are two different people. Your a lamb. You walk around with your high ideals and you keep our country as honest and just as the utopia that resides in your head. I am a monster, I am willing to do what it takes, no matter how grotesque, to maintain your ability to reside in your utopia. You see king, it's this simple, I am sure

I posted my feelings about this on another blog. A talk show host here in Atlanta, Neal Boortz, who is a libertarian, said this in response to a gay man who felt he should have "equal" rights as straight people; you have every right in marriage that I do, you can marry any woman you want to, what you are demanding is a "special" right. This sort of sums up my position. If we have to reword laws or rewrite or amend constitutions so that

I have recently been raked over the coals for my belief that we should not resort to savagery and terrorist tactics in our detention centers. I'm sorry if I made you feel raked over the coals for your beliefs. My real anger was not your beliefs, but the lack of an answer to my question (which you did ev

Hey Tex, thanks for posting this well thought out summary of your positions. After our exchanges on the Amnesty International topics yesterday, I did not think I could be more different than someone and I find out I am very much like you. I also do not necessarily identify with either of the two major parties, I really follow moreso than not, the doctine of the Libertarian party. However, I am a realist and I know that they will never be a significant
