Conservative Mommy and 2Smart.
Do you actually know this person of which you speak or are you just spewing venom which seems to come naturally to you? You may not agree with their opinions but can you say with any degree of certainty that this person did not serve in the military?
I can't say for sure so I decided to err on the side of them being truthful and thank them for their service.
You call yourselves Christians yet wonder why people rip on Christians. You're not Christians...you are just plain old garden variety assholes.

This has all the ear marks of a glorified monkey in a dress stirring up trouble again. God will judge you and you should really be ashamed of yourself for mocking the scriptures.
But I can see why you are confused, after all you were a MONKEY at one time right!
That's right. God will judge. So why do most Christians feel that judgement is the one area where God is horribly inept and that they must do it for him?

Plants and animals get their energy from an outside energy source, it doesn't come from within themselves. Their energy comes from the sun. What is the outside source of energy for the univese Keith? If their is no outside source, it is losing energy and it is running down. It will one day reach uniform temperature left to itself. My point was that those that believe in the "big bang" or apply gradualism to the univese run into problems with natural laws.
I'll be honest and tell you that I don't know, however a will also not take my glaring ignorance of the subject, profess that I do in fact know the truth(albeit unproven truth) and then force that truth upon others. Sound familiar?

If Clinton had taken Bin Laden when the Sudanese offered him up we may have avoided 9/11. If Clinton had acted on ANY of the terrorist attacks that took place on his watch, we may have avoided 9/11. I wonder if it's the Kool-Aid that causes such memory loss ??
I bet you could find a way to blame the repsonse to hurricane Katrina on Clinton as well?
Talk about living in the past.

There are two kinds of sinners Keith, those saved by God's grace through Jesus Christ and those that aren't. I'm of the former variety, I don't claim to be perfect, but I rejoice in the fact that I am jsustified before God as a result of accepting Christ's sacrifice on the cross on my behalf.
The payoff is enjoying peace in the presence of God for all eternity.
Its my prayer that I'll see you there Keith, but it sounds like you need to cross over from death to life:
" I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life." Jesus as recorded in John 5:24
Maybe I should be more clear. I don't have a problem with someone having religion. Go for it. I don't have a problem with Christianity....I just have a problem with Christians.

WOW !! I'm impressed. The defeatocrats named a bunch of post offices. So let's sum this up; Harry Reid (in true defeatocratic fashion) announced to the world that the war was lost and some post offices were dedicated. I'll have to admit I was wrong, that's a pretty impressive list of accomplishments.
Don't you guys get it? There all no good S.O.B.'s. Democrats and Republicans

It's not a question of proving Bryan wrong. It's about speaking out against an abhorrent idea that has damaged our civilization. People's values affect everyone. That's why it's important.
Ok, so how many of you support a constitutional ammendment to ban gay marriage and why?

Today is the 20 year anniversary of our greatest president, Ronald Reagan, when he stood at the Berlin Wall and announced "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall".
Thank God we had Republican Ronald Reagan as President at that time in our history.
Whatever, dude!

Kool-Aid alert !!
It's nice to see the children get involved.
-
DUH !! Do you really think anyone doesn't know the origins of Kool-Aid ?? The term is now used to describe the radical left (or as you put it, the brainwashed cultists).
I think you should change your screen name to "KearnyTard"
-
Wasn't the Defeatocratic debate a real snoozer !! The Iron Matron was the clear winner and I don't see anyone catching her. Soros and the ultra-left is not supporting her because of her stance on the war. It's going to be a nasty dog fight for the defeatocratic nomination.
The good news is, it all doesn't matter, Rudy is the next president.
What, exactly makes Rudy qualified?

How old are you Bryan? Do you remember the embargo in the seventies? I do. My point was that if the supply shortage they keep feeding us that warrents these prices rising the way the have in a few short years were indeed true, someone would be running out of gas from time to time. I find it suspicious that while they they keep racking up prices because of supply, there still seems to be plenty to go around. I know of no one who has had any trouble getting gas. The only trouble they have is paying for it.
I find that very suspicious, don't you? You can spout facts and figures all day long but if you think for one minute that big oil doesn't manipulate those figures then you are naive.
-
It's interesting to me that as gas prices skyrocket, it's all blamed on supply vs. demand. Seems like a good argument,right? All the while big oil posts obscene profits while still being subsidized by the govt. (i.e. the taxpayer) The one glaring difference I see from the current situation and that of the Arab oil embargo of the early seventies is this: I have yet to see a single gas station that is out of gas. Not one, at least here in Missouri. During the oil embargo when there truly was a shortage, stations ran out of gas and those that had it rationed it. Has anyone here seen any of that? Sure makes me wonder. Keep in mind as the prices in Europe skyrocketed most of that was from increased taxes to steer the country towards more fuel efficient autos and it worked. Here in the good ol' USA it seems to be nothing but pure profit for big oil while you and I are literally held up at the pump.
All the while our administration's silence is deafening. Seems to me like big oil is gonna get what they can while they still have friends in high places.

BushBacker's post invites commentary. Tragically, this isn't a polemic. It's the truth.
1. The radical right in America has no regard for the truth. They make accusations like the one BushBacker just made against the ACLU, which are not true. The right wing doesn't care. Whether it's lambasting their perceived enemies or cooking up phony reasons to go to war or denying global warming, the right wing doesn't care about the truth. They only care that their ugly biases are reinforced in the small confines of their own minds.
2. The radical right is more interested in whether Bob gives Harry a wedding ring than whether Grandma has enough to eat or enough money for her medications. They're more interested in looking like tough guys than in whether seven billion people will have clean air and water fifty years from now, and if you call them on that they'll call you a limp-wristed lefty. They're more interested in taking the toughest possible stance against some Arab, it doesn't matter which one, than in conducting an intelligent war on terror or truly keeping our country safe.
3. The radical right has made ethical and moral perversion an art form. They don't care how many people are killed in the war, how many people starve because the world hasn't begun to think about how to address resource allocation among seven billion people (and counting), or whether people they don't agree with have the right to due process if accused of a crime. They see no problem ripping the US Constitution to shreds, except of course to turn the Second Amendment into something it was never intended to be and legally never has been.
4. The radical right doesn't care about civil liberties, with the sole exception of owning as many arms and munitions as some paranoid nut may choose to collect. The radical right talks about freedom, but is completely unconcerned with the constitutional system, which makes that freedom possible.
5. The radical right is the first group of people to shout about moral perversion, but in fact their own radical agenda is the worst and most radical perversion of all.
BushBacker's false accusation against the ACLU in its defense of Wiccans who merely want their religious symbol on their loved one's grave merits a good rant. This is the truth, which is more than we can say for the attack on the ACLU. People are entitled to their own opinions, but I'm sick of the constant lying, and ugliness, from the radical right. I'm far from alone.
Dear Paul,
I couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately, if they possed any logic or reasoning they would be ashamed but I wouldn't hold my breath.

How liberal and Constitutional of you.
Really? Please explain...........

Immigration:
What is your take on this issue that our law makers are having a hard time with. This is a very important issue that should be given our undivided attention.
I have two friends that I work with who immigrated to the US legally. One is from the UK and the other is from Syria. Both are great and I'm happy to have them here. They both went through an immense amount of shit an loopholes, but they did it legally and I applaud them.
Just coming over the border illegally is one thing, then they will find counterfeit documents and steal SS numbers. Do you want that here? Do you want to turn a blind eye? I don't
If your illegal, go home!
-
The Defeatocrats blinked. They are now offering a bill without a surrender date. Never in the history of the world has a surrender date been proposed in any war, but our Defeatocrats thought it was a good idea. "Rudy For President" !!
Why don't you shut the F**K up and go to Iraq yourself!

You and Matthew are crusaders, period. What the term crusader has come to mean is someone that takes up a cause and fights for it, usually no matter how meaningless it is to the rest of us. Quite often it involves some form of personal gain. Usually the crusader will employ any means necessary to win his battle no matter how sneaky or under handed.
You may not like it but you and Matthew fit this characterization perfectly.
Who knows more about crusading than Christians?

I'll check with Paul and get back to you.
I couldn't get the link to work. Was Mr. P fired?
-
It is?
How do you know?
That isn't the way legal settlements typically work. LaClair probably wanted more than he eventually received.
And here's another way to look at it.
Suppose Matthew LaClair thinks he hears Paszkiewicz saying objectionable stuff in class. Why not talk to Paszkiewicz about it privately and tape that conversation (still sneaky, but it doesn't put the students at risk for Paszkiewicz's most "dangerous" speech)? All it takes is a couple of students in the class to back up the report of what Paszkiewicz was supposedly doing. That way, LaClair has witnesses to what is said in class, a recording of the meeting with Paszkiewicz, and the possibility of resolving the issue without unnecessary division.
The route taken by the LaClairs was about as divisive as it could have been.
So, what would you like to see Bryan? Teachers of any faith preaching in class?

Stixx, you don't understand the topics discussed here, come back when you're out of grade school.
On the contrary, I understand completely. Oh and by the way, I'm so, so sorry about your leader Jerry Fallwell. Not.

Correct. It is reasonable to think that the percentage would be higher among Democrats, unless you think that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to think that the Bush administration knew about or assisted in the 9/11 attacks.
Your placement of quotation marks is misleading.
I agree with you that the 36% should not be marked as thinking the Bush administration responsible for active participation in the attacks. On the other hand, the poll purports to represent the general population--not just Democrats. Among Democrats we should expect higher percentages.
I showed you what I found, but the issue isn't sufficiently interesting to me to dig deeper at this time. Maybe I'll change my mind.
Kudos for your willingness to look at the poll numbers more deeply.
Don't let the habit slip when the poll happens to agree with your views.
You don't see me drawing any conclusions from the poll, do you?
Other than very reasonable ones, that is.
Actually, it does help his case, since it shows that the "crackpottery" (I like that term) is widespread and you have reasonably admitted that we should expect to see it more predominantly in the party to the left.
Did 2Smart even claim to be going by a poll? Maybe the problem is you trying to force him to prove something he never intended to prove. His general point seems to be on target even if his numbers are suspect.
Why don't you run for office? It already seems like you are campaigning. I've yet to see a single topic for which you don't have all the answers. Do something useful and get off this board a make a real difference instead of wasting your time here.

Kool-Aid alert !!!
What are you ? 13?

We can--we just don't have the political will to do it.
1) The mission was clear but complex enough to resist a pre-planned solution (normal in war, which largely consists of mistakes by however many sides participate).
2) The mission is probably achievable--the caveat comes because the ultimate fulfillment is in the hands of the Iraqis. LaClair takes the wrong lesson from Vietnam. Vietnam was winnable. The communists were decimated after the Tet Offensive, but the media gave the communists a political victory by proclaiming the Tet offensive a U.S. loss (Thank you Walter Cronkite). Then, as now, the enemy realized that the key to beating the United States is to win the war over public opinion in the United States.
3) Send more troops and use the Petraeus strategy throughout Iraq for another five years and we almost certainly win. Will that happen? Probably not. The Democrats smell political hay in a military defeat, and likewise many Republicans fear that they cannot remain in office while supporting the war.
Didn't you already admit that leaving may well make things worse? And Bush can't possible be taking that into consideration.
How do you figure? You'd have to start with the presupposition that the war cannot be won to get to that conclusion. That's simply false. Iraq could definitely be stabilized. Tactics such as those used by the Portuguese in Angola during the late 60s and early 70s would win the day within about 10 years.
The disgraceful politics comes from opportunists willing to throw away a critical victory for the sake of political gain. In contrast, conservatives supporting the war take a political risk. Will it be satisfying blaming the next president while out of office and out of power?
All of that leaves completely aside the damage this misadventure has done to our standing in the world, the distraction it has been from a real fight against terroism, the huge amounts money spent and of course all the lives lost. This will go down in history as the worst foreign policy blunder in our history.
Yeah! 'Cause they always generalize about the other side, don't they!?!
You forgot that we really have no right to be there at all. Tell me again what substantiated justifications we had for invading in the first place.
Wating for 2smart to answer.

Actually it HYPOCRITE.
As far as your being a Christian then act like one.
As far as my language goes I never said I was a christian.
I'll say it once more. I don't have a problem with Christinaity, I have a problem with christians.
As far as hypocrisy, why don't you look it up. Not only will you learn how to spell it you may actually learn the definition.
