Hello, all. I haven't been here in so long, I forgot my login information. Why does he think the US was born of a common creed and not a common heritage? I thought the early US republic extended its protection and suffrage only to white, European and preferably English-speaking men with property?
Good Point
Could you be more specific, Gene? Do they need more guns and ammo? More tanks? Better tanks? Working Tanks? Trucks? Helos?
Ugh, Carter. Being the President when I came to live in America for good, he left me very worried about my future in America. Thank God he was out of office in about 2 years.
There should be concern that democracy in Iraq will mean sectarianism will trump the common good for the nation, which could exacerbate the situation. Then the Sunnis will know for sure that the only way they can get what they want is through bullets, not ballots. That is not the concern of liberals. It's their modus operandi anyway. Look in the US. They seek voting blocks of minorities and hope they can get enough guilty, self-hating whit
Reparations are for those who are worse off now as a result of their ancestors being enslaved. In that case, the prerequisite for receiving any reparation money should be forced repatriation back to West Africa, where they will receive a monthly stipend on a debit card from a nearby US consulate. Additionally, they should not be allowed to spend any money in a nation that "profited" off of slavery.
War on Christmas The hot button issue this time of year is the use of "Happy Holidays" as opposed to "Merry Christmas." This passage here sums up exactly what so many American Christians feel and why: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Qu
You won't be the first, nor probably the last either. Stop talking about it and do it, then. Why I do , what I do is actually no concern of yours and you need not understand it. Th
You confuse suicidal tendencies with courage. They are not the same. This is just cowardice. Even Suicidal people (normally) do not take out a bunch of innocent people with their act. I disagree, because your typical suicide bomber is not killing himself to take the easy way out of a difficult situat
I understand "just" fine jerk! The FIRST part of his sentence said what? "Liberate the holy land....." You made it sound like the "only" thing he said was to "kill moslems". Grow up! And just an FYI. If I were you, I'd watch my language. I "will" turn you in to admin. This thread is not marked as adult content and can be read by
Hey yo-yo....as much as I hate to back up the col, you should go back and read! The key word you're looking for here is "liberate the Holy Land AND KILL Moslems"! You'll notice the first half of his sentence said the "same damn" thing you did. What the fuck is your problem, Billy-Bob? When you capitali
I think it was the Pope that sent the Christian armies to liberate the Holy Land and KILL Moslems. You've been well brainwashed by self-loathing attitudes of the academic elite in this country. If anyone ever tells you the purposes of the Crusades were just to kill Moslems, he has had his head stuck up
But do not forget we helped Saddam when we wanted to fight the Soviets. Soviets, or Iranians?
I'm still not clear whether Good Point is a joke characterisation or real, and to what extent Rightwinger is being tongue in cheek, but trust me - there are moderate Muslims. I live with them, I hang out with them and never once in 11 months of life in a Muslim country have I been threatened or felt threatened because of m
Yes, I'll criticize a fire department's handling of a fire, union regulations, and even the fire fighters themselves, even if I haven't "been there done that". I've never been a judge, but that shouldn't stop me from commenting about the 9th Circus Court's inability to think straight. If I were to discount the opinions of everyone who hasn't had the experiences I have, the
Not even close. Many Moslems may have some distrust or even dislike for the U S but the majority are not actively fighting us the way the people that attacked us on 9/11. We must make sure that the majority are not recruited by the radicals or we will need a draft and then some! Limbaugh only addresses the small number (in relati
Is having facial hair a preferred trait in a dictator?
I am not an expert. But I know if we cut and run, without establishing a stable government, they have no chance. If we do establish a stable one, they have a chance. I understand your point, and I also don't claim to be an expert, but I think any stable government that will arise in Iraq will not be to
Well how would you like to be fighting 1.2 Billion Moslems? We seem to have are hands full with thousands. We ARE fighting 1.2 billion Moslems. Far too many of us here in the West don't recognize that. We've been fighting the Moslems for 1400 years. The Moslems don't forget that. They never
Not when you understand the situation. No, Dr. Guy. No four-part analogy is capable of describing the complexities of the world. There's a reason why the Wikipedia articles on the 2003 Invasion of Iraq consists of much much more than a four-part analogy. I'm curious as to your extent of your
No, that was a good analogy. We performed triage, now we have to get the patient to the hospital. not give him a set of car keys and say see you later. No; Dog : Puppy :: Cat : Kitten is a good analogy. critically wounded patient : Paramedic :: Iraq : America is a false analogy
Odd, they didn't seem to have much trouble recruiting for the 8 years clinton was in office. I don't think the 19 on 9/11 were trainees... Good point. Mohammedan anti-westernism didn't begin with the 2000 election or the occcupation of Iraq, Palestine, troops in Saudi Arabia, or any other purported gri
I think Ted said it best. leaving with the job half done would be like racing to an accident, performing triage, and then telling the wounded to find a hospital and leaving. Our staying is doing a lot of good, and if you had even one honest bone in your body, you would admit that even tho you hate Bush. <BR
Which is exactly what we will leave behind if we pull out now! Yes, Murtha was right that we need to discuss it. Bad idea. End of discussion. It would be grossly irresponsible for the United States to leave Iraq in the state that it is in. That's not a discussion. Discussion restarted. The problem is
Col. Tukhachevsky, the so-called abuse of Mohammedan prisoners only causes them to engage in more overt activities against the United States. The entire religion, and nearly all the so-called moderates covertly operate against the West every moment of their lives. That's why in the unfortunate event of Musulmen successfully pulling off a terrorist attack against us, I hope that the Arab street jumps for joy and cheers...and it is all caught on camer
