Call it blood diamond or bloody oil. We are pretty much involved in every mess out in the world to protect out intrest. we are the ones who demand cheap oil. We invented the nuclear weapon. first and only one ever to use it on innocent people. we went to vietnam to help a curropt and unpopular goverment. And when it so really about genocide and democracy (Liberia and Sudan) we put minimal effort. just enough to get by. No saying that we are evil. To me USA is one of the best country in this world. We helped in kosovo, bosnia and many places where it mattered. Then again we are not really innocent either.

I have heard sean hannity, rush limbaugh, and other so-called "conservative"(but really neocon) radio hosts talking about how civil liberties are "protecting terrorists." Why is liberty the target of these "conservatives"? (if you asked me, i would call them neocons or liberals).

"Liberty is an opportunity for doing good, but only so when it is also an opportunity for doing wrong." F. A. Hayek

"Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric." Thomas Sowell

"Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of Tyrants; it is the Creed slaves." William Pitt

"It is seldom that any Liberty is lost all at once." David Hugh




let me just add that you will see people call me a liberal or commie in this question's answers, but i have to say that that is very ignorant, because conservatism (real, ronald reagan consrevatism, not george bush neoconservatism) was founded on these ideas.

It’s clear their ideology has lead this country to deficit, endless & pointless war, and economic aristocracy. Don’t they know that most of the people in this country don’t want that?

How long do they ‘stay the course’ before they realize their ship has sunk?

They're just upholding Bakke - that's not a shift - - they're trying to make it sound like stare decisis is being done away with, it's not - - - state governments can't have quotas and they can't have double standards.

Do you think that America will pick a black man over a woman or a woman over a black man? They are both stereotyped.

When Jack Reed quotes Al-Quaida when addressing congress to convice them to bring the troops home?

He used a statement from Al-Quaida that infered we are making it easier for Al-Quaida to wage war being there and that if we left Al-Quaida would be at a disadvantage.

Al-Quaida is telling the truth; yet you believe Bush is a liar???

Do you think the military will take someone who has broken his spine? They did not when I took the physical to go to Viet Nam? And, I do NOT collect disability. I support myself.

They say "someone has to stay here" or "I'm a firefighter" or "I support the police but I'm not a cop"
What a bunch of baloney.
You all can't be Firefighters and the Police don't desperately need new cops.
As for the Vets who already served, we know that most con's on this site are not retired military (thank you for your service).
The fact is that bush needs more troops for the war in Iraq.
Not millions - just Thousands.
If they walked like they talked bush would have all the troops he needs and our guys in uniform would not be on their 3rd or 4th tour in Iraq.
The con's know that it takes more than lip-service to win a war,
but still the Military barely makes it's recruiting goals.
If they really cared the recruters would be turning people away.

"Of Liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its existence, is unobstructed action according to our will. But Rightful Liberty is within limits drawn around us by the Equal Rights of others. And I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because the law is often but the Tyrants-will, and always so when it violates the Rights of an individual." Thomas Jefferson


"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.... The course of history shows that as the government grows, liberty decreases." Thomas Jefferson


"The object and practice of Liberty lies in the limitation of Governmental power." General Douglas MacArthur

"Liberty has never come from Government. It is always come from the subjects of Government. The history of Liberty is the history of resistance." Woodrow Wilson


"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."
RUDY GIULIANI

Come on Hillary. How about we let the MILITARY run the war, and not a politician who has never seen a day of war in her life.

I'll tell you what. If Hillary spends just a month in Iraq, we can listen to her ideas about the war. Until then, her viewpoint is just as valid as mine: completely irrelevant. i don't know the situation in Iraq, I've never been there, so I let the Generals who have decide.

Anyone else find this amusing?

Re Asking this question from earlier. Serious question here. I read many of these questions and comments daily that blast the military are regurgitating ideology about what we should and should not do. Yet hardly any of the ones speaking like this has the courage or seems the intelligence to join the military. So why is it that so many who know so little about what it is like to be a service member claim to know what is best for those who truly serve. "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." --Mark Twain.
