I think you'd have to admit though, that Obama stepped into a pretty big pile of dung. My main problem with republicans is that they most definately are for the rich, and I'm sorry, but the rich always wind up screwing the rest of us.. and when I say republicans..I mean the Washington DC republicans and their well known media mouthpieces, not the average Joe who works for a living and aligns themselves with the right rather than the left. I voted for Obama, obviously hoping for change...the change he campaigned on, or what I thought I heard him campaign on. No more business as usual... So far it seems business as usual though. However, given the choices we had, I am comfortable with the choice I made. I am still hoping he is able to effect some type of positive change...I still think he's our best hope for a shot at straightening things out and I can't give up on him yet...that would be giving up on the whole thing.,which may indeed be inevitable, but I'll wait and see before passing final judgement. I KNOW that the alternative is the republican party, and I KNOW what they are all about for sure. Massive amounts for money for the elite, mammoth corporations swallowing up everyone in sight and peeing on everyone while getting there, AKA...greed...the simple..understandable things.
Wow! I never thought I'd hear those words part your liberal lips, Dan. Please give me a moment while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
What ideology does the right represent besides the new and innovative "lower taxes for business, guns, and pro-life"? Is there anything more than that. I'd really like to know. Oh...and is Sarah Palin currently the best you guys have to offer??
Yeah, I know all she has done is manage to get promoted on up the line by the people in her home state, run the state efficiently & in the black while gutting taxes and plowing more money into education, run a family business, serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska NG and be appointed Chairman of the Energy Commission.....she's sure no community activist or Acorn attorney, is she?
It really doesn't matter your ideology. The system is too big and corrupt to make ideology important. The Republicans fed at the trough when they were in power and the Democrats are feeding now. More and more. Bigger and bigger. And it is the same at every level of government I can see. The system is corrupt and, what's even worse, it is not sustainable. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
oK...I'll answer. "NO....we don't have anything new or innovative" "We align our ideology with $$" "Sarah Palin is the best and brightest we have had since George. She can even see Russia from her house"
Are you ok with that nut from Ft. Hood not having a tribunal? Is it ok if he is tried in a military court? And didnt Khalid plan the 9/11 thing before there was a war on terror? If he did, then its a criminal act. And why not NYC? Or do you think them liberal wimpy NBC News listening lefties wiill just aqcuit him because they are intellectual?
Fort hood The Soldier who commited the crimes will have his day in a court of Military Justice. If KSM was conspiring to commit crimes against America with like minded terrorist he is an enemy combatant. If a sovereign nation launches a nuke from the sea or from the shore of said country it is the same , an act of war. History read, shows that tribunals are a proven way to accomplish the task of criminalizing war crimes. Terrorists move from one country to another to take advantage of current situations. They in many cases are the defacto leaders of what goes on in those countries until they move or are moved.
I think we should just stick him in Cuba for 8 or so years with no trial. Then we don't have to worry about about the constitution and all of it's silly rights. You see...I think he robbed a bank long ago, but with him in Cuba....I don't have to prove anything....just lock him up cause I said so.
But terror doesnt have one nation does it? Theres no Terrorania. Wasnt the war on terror made after 9/11? Because of 9/11? You know that if it was a Swede or and American you wouldnt have a problem with them being tried in civilian court. Wasnt what McVey do an act of terrorism? Is he still waiting an appeal? Was he not justly tried?
Terrorism Terror tactics on civil populations have been used since war it self came to be. When the Romans wanted to make a statement they would use terror. Most of the time they assimilated populations and made them pay to garrison soldiers to protect their new holdings. Others would kill all, so they could vacate cities and villages without a fight futher down the landscape. This way the had a new city without occupants. Terrorism in the 20th century was used to a great degree in Europe and Asia. Pearl Harbor was the first real terror attack for us. The count was about 2400 + and a great number of ships . Then in 1993 a bomb at the WTC . People still had not got the idea. It takes many hours on a plane to cross America. Nine eleven let people see what real serious terrorism looked like. South east Asia, Viet Nam , Cambodia , Laos and parts of Thailand was very much fought in a terror operations by all sides. Cambodia receiving losses as high as 25% of their population murdered by the Rouge. They were inter twined with the NVA and China. Pol pot was their MAO.
Pep Terrorists are NOT SOLDIERS, they do not abide by the rules of war (Geneva Convention) they are outside that they are COMMON CRIMINALS, they should not be treated with the same respect as captured enemy combatants. Also Cambodia was a Civil war a totaly different thing, the Genocide began after the Khmer Rouge took over, it was akin to Hitlers final solution. The Khmer were kicked out of power by the NVA (just in case you did not know)
Pearl Harbor was an act of war by a uniformed military representing the nation of Japan. Theres a difference.
