The way to Commemorate 9/11

[Guest yod]

Vietnam's mission was accomplished though it took years to see it.

We didn't save the South Vietnamese from Communism but we certainly showed that we were not going to sit idly by while Communism spread.

This is also why we supplied arms to the mudjahadin in Afghanistan instead of taking on Russia ourselves.

Mission accomplished! The spread of Communism has stopped. Now we deal with a new enemy and we'll stop them too if we don't lose our resolve.

I back up everything I say, charlie. Just because you are too ignorant to accept the truth doesn't mean I haven't given it to you.

No you don't. Sometimes you do but when others debate with you and provide more concrete information and more of it, you often resort to deragatory adjectives when you hear something that goes against your own admittedly bias opinion.

I think everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but when you advocate and support doing away with our liberties in the "name" of security, when you advocate and support a republican run police-state then I think that is pure folly. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and absolute power goes against the very principles this country was founded upon.

I guess I'm more afraid of tyranny than you are.

Two questions:

Is the United States SUPPOSE to be the policeman of the world?

If and WHEN a republican run govt gets absolute control, do you think we'll continue to hear scripture and references to God coming out of republican leaders' mouths? Or do you think they'll THEN say, "Christians,.. sit down and shut up"? I think we'll hear the latter.

The rest of those words are good descriptions when I use them.

But are you the only person entitled to an opinion?

Like I said, I think everyone is entitled to an opinion but it's ironic for you to be asking that question. Those ARE NOT good descriptions; they're deragatory and meant to belittle those who disagree with you. I wonder how many people YOU PERSONALLY have driven away from worthyboards with your overbearing, abusive tone? Think about it Yod.

I have never advocated a police state. I have never advocated doing away with civil liberties.

I have given you good political analysis of what is going to happen and why. Ignore reality if you want.

Now....we can talk about whether you or I like it until we are blue in the face...but ultimately it doesn't matter.

We have no choice if Kerry and Bednarik and Nader are the other choices.

I guess I'm more afraid of tyranny than you are.

I'm sure that you are....

And you'll be the first yelling and screaming when you find out your liberties are gone Yod, but then again it will be too late at that point.

And you'll be the first yelling and screaming when you find out your liberties are gone Yod,

How is that possible when you have already have a head start on everybody???

I think that would make a good "flamewarrior" profile. Eh, Nebula?
