And why do you think they are the best.

Informal poll to gauge historical views from a political stance.

it was a license to do anything immoral and it shouldn't be questioned by the public or the media? When people in government shag their secretary's when the wife isn't looking, doesn't that mean they are at least a lair and a cheat, and isn't this a reflection of how it is only a small step to start lying about the need to go to war? It's a slippery slope and Labour have slid to the bottom haven't they?

developmentally disabled adults, people with traumatic brain injuries, mentall ill people, crack babies, terminally ill patients?

we cannot continue to support these have-nots!! They will find their own way of surviving. God forbid someone that makes $500,000 a year has to give a portion of their income to help those less fortunate. What kind of heartless f**ks are we?

I was thinking of going to the local police academy and putting on the nations ss uniform . Then I could slap some poor people around shoot a few and beat the hell out of them and still collect an ataboy and a pay-check twice a month .
Or I could apply at Raytheon and begin to defend my nation by attacking Iraq with laser guided weapons that always hit the target and do not kill civilians .
Then Again a career in politics might be for me . Start a non profit to funnel cash donations through and black mail the local paper into some good press .later running for state congress and then senator and on to the white house . I would deny I inhaled just like the rest of them .
Maybe I could become a fiction writer .And say stuff like the government killed kennedy -- north vietnam attacked our navy in open waters and we kicked the hell out of them .
Or I could just stay retired and posting stuff on here and elsewhere .

Am I the only one who has noticed this?

If you don't know what a straw man argument is, check this out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Basically it is when you avoid debating your opponent on what they actually believe and instead misrepresent their position with something much easier to fight and then attack THAT fictional POSITION.

Kind of like when Democrats say "we need a new strategy in Iraq" and instead of arguing that, Bush says "We ain't gonna cut and run"

It's sort of subtle and it fools dumb people into misunderstanding what people and parties real positions are all the time. It basically degrades the level of discourse to kindergarten grade arguments.

Anybody have any idea why every conservative here seems to rely on this pathetic tactic instead of debating real issues?

All of you nosy people want to know how to turn in illegals. Just mind your business. Try getting a Mexican lover because we are the hottest. Then you won't be so worried about reporting people who are just trying to get a better life.

I'm not even sure of who we are fighting. Who are insurgents? Who are infidels? Are we fighting to protect the Iraqi citizens?

The car is registered in my name, there is no verbal or written contract and there is no lien on the car. I would like to counter-claim him for the harassment and mental angues he has caused me by doing this. It is a guy just trying to cause trouble for me and he can afford it.

As a free society and protected by the "Bill of Rights" why aren't we allowed to say what we think or is that now a privilage only allowed for minorities?
Best defination of Political Correctness?
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

According to DoucheRider:

"You want to see the dead soldiers on the news but after 9-11 the news couldn't show the jets flying into the Trade Center because in the liberal media's eyes, americans couldn't handle it."

Was this guy living in a different country than I was? Because I remember seeing the jets flying into the twin towers being on television perpetually over and over and over again for MONTHS after 9/11.

Anyone else remember the "liberal media" keeping that footage off the TV?
