Here's the highlights reel for anyone still voting for the Democrats:


November 1979: Muslim extremists (Iranian variety) seized the U.S. embassy in Iran and held 52 American hostages for 444 days, following Democrat Jimmy Carter's masterful foreign policy granting Islamic fanaticism its first real foothold in the Middle East.

1982: Muslim extremists (mostly Hezbollah) began a nearly decade-long habit of taking Americans and Europeans hostage in Lebanon, killing William Buckley and holding Terry Anderson for 6 1/2 years.

April 1983: Muslim extremists (Islamic Jihad or possibly Hezbollah) bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 16 Americans.

October 1983: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) blew up the U.S. Marine barracks at the Beirut airport, killing 241 Marines.

December 1983: Muslim extremists (al-Dawa) blew up the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, killing five and injuring 80.

September 1984: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) exploded a truck bomb at the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut, killing 24 people, including two U.S. servicemen.

December 1984: Muslim extremists (probably Hezbollah) hijacked a Kuwait Airways airplane, landed in Iran and demanded the release of the 17 members of al-Dawa who had been arrested for the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, killing two Americans before the siege was over.

June 14, 1985: Muslim extremists (Hezbollah) hijacked TWA Flight 847 out of Athens, diverting it to Beirut, taking the passengers hostage in return for the release of the Kuwait 17 as well as another 700 prisoners held by Israel. When their demands were not met, the Muslims shot U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem and dumped his body on the tarmac.

October 1985: Muslim extremists (Palestine Liberation Front backed by Libya) seized an Italian cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, killing 69-year-old American Leon Klinghoffer by shooting him and then tossing his body overboard.

December 1985: Muslim extremists (backed by Libya) bombed airports in Rome and Vienna, killing 20 people, including five Americans.

April 1986: Muslim extremists (backed by Libya) bombed a discotheque frequented by U.S. servicemen in West Berlin, injuring hundreds and killing two, including a U.S. soldier.

December 1988: Muslim extremists (backed by Libya) bombed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 on board and 11 on the ground.
(Then came an amazing, historic pause in Muslim extremists' relentless war on America after Ronald Reagan won the Cold War by doing the opposite of everything recommended by Democrats, depriving Islamic terrorists of their Soviet sponsors. This confuses liberals because they don't understand the concept of terror sponsors, whether it's the Soviet Union or Iraq.)


February 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, possibly with involvement of friendly rival al-Qaida) set off a bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center, killing six and wounding more than 1,000.

Spring 1993: Muslim extremists (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the Sudanese Islamic Front and at least one member of Hamas) plot to blow up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the U.N. complex, and the FBI's lower Manhattan headquarters.

November 1995: Muslim extremists (possibly Iranian "Party of God") explode a car bomb at U.S. military headquarters in Saudi Arabia, killing five U.S. military servicemen.

June 1996: Muslim extremists (13 Saudis and a Lebanese member of Hezbollah, probably with involvement of al-Qaida) explode a truck bomb outside the Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds.

August 1998: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) explode truck bombs at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 and injuring thousands.

October 2000: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) blow up the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole, killing 17 U.S. sailors.

Sept. 11, 2001: Muslim extremists (al-Qaida) hijack commercial aircraft and fly planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 Americans.

Cigarettes - completely regulated, are known to kill thousands of Americans, are known to be addicting and hazardous to ones health.

Alcohol - kills thousands of people, and ruins a lot of lives with domestic abuse, car accidents... A man slaughtered two women and two little boys here a couple weeks ago, slit their throats and burned their house down. He woke up with no memory of it because he had an alcoholic black out.

But the thing is - I like cigarettes, and I like alcohol. But I love weed. And weed is so much safer, proven to be less dangerous to society than either cigarettes or alcohol. Do the cigarette companies not think they can just switch to dope and keep the same profits? Plus, a lot of this country could use some chill time! And if it was legal, that's billions of dollars less of American taxmoney wasted on imprisoning weed users and dealers, and a useless war on drugs. Sorry, but people are going to do drugs no matter what, at least if its legalized and reg

Why can't people understand that you can be higher critical of Israel's foreign policy in regard to human rights and have nothing but respect for the Jewish faith. I just went on the Anti-defamation site to see what they had written about King Anti-Semite, Mel Gibson and his hateful comments towards Jews during his DUI, only to find it was a highly politicized site promoting Israel's foreign policy. Shouldn't the anti-defamation be concentrating on defamation against Jews instead? I find the logic of equating criticisim of Israel's foreign policy = anti-Semitism as absured as equating criticism of Bush's foreign policy = anti-Christianity.

And that all of them are from the third world?

I went to Australia and saw that many Germans ILLEGALLY immigrate there to find jobs. American media won't tell you that. They won't even tell you that people immigrate to all sorts of countries, even within the so-called third world. Every foreigner is not looking to get into the US, that's a huge lie. Even so, the opportunities aren't that great, and the people are flat-out unbearable.

Given my recent experience with constitutional violations...we don't even have freedom anymore, especially of speech.

So, I was talking to some guy at a local convinience store the other day. When we started talking politics, we had similar interests (Yes to gay marrage and adoptions, universal healthcare coverage, less perks for the wealthy, etc.) But when he said, "I wish we had John Kerry in office! Those moron Republicans would just wither up and die." I said, "Um, dude, hate to tell you this, but I'm a Republican." He started yelling at me, calling me a hate filled war monger, a puss-brained ***hole, KKK lover, gun nut (I thought that one was funny, I don't even own a gun), religeous zealot, pervert. He yelled at me for about a minute or so, until the store manager threatened to call the cops. The guy then threatened my life.
Did I deserve that, just because I happen to have conservative leanings and feel like the government doesn't have a right to say what I can and can not think or feel?

The United Nations is being criticized for failures to really push its abilities.

Genocide all over the world is failing to be stopped. The Hezbollah Resolution signed earlier wasn't, as far as I know, carried out or even attempted.

Do you believe the UN works? Do you have examples of times the UN has succeeded?

If not, how could it be reformed to really work for human rights and lives?
