Politics - 21 September 2007

They waste time and money by playing politics instead of addressing the issues that need to be dealt with such as the recent "resolution" to condemn MoveOn.org for a political ad...but do you know that there was a second resolution?

"Obama, Clinton and Dodd voted for an alternative resolution offered minutes earlier by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. That resolution condemned political attack ads, including those that questioned the patriotism of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and former Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga., both Vietnam veterans. It failed 50-47."

As is typical of the Republican party, they are playing partisan politics where they condemn others of practicing the same tactics that they themselves use. (can anybody say "Swiftboat")

During an interview with The Advocate to be published next week, Sean Kennedy, the gay magazine's news and features editor, asked the presidential candidate, "How do you respond to the occasional rumor that you're a lesbian?"

"People say a lot of things about me, so I really don't pay any attention to it," Sen. Clinton (D-N.Y.) replied.

"It's not true, but it is something that I have no control over. People will say what they want to say."

US Army intelligence manuals provided to Latin American military officers attending the US Army’s “School of the Americas” advocate executions, torture, blackmail and other forms of coercion against insurgents and sanctions the use of “fear, payment of bounties for enemy dead, beatings, false imprisonment, executions and the use of truth serum” to recruit and control informants. [Washington Post, 9/21/1996]

Seriously, if this general is telling the truth then why not arrest him when he comes to NY next week? Why not toss him over to Gitmo and let him wait his military tribunal and punishment like the other terrorists.

Columbia University can have whomever they would like to speak there. That is their right. Do I not have the right to protest ?
Should Columbia NOT allow someone to speak because they are too "controversial"?

Thank You.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070921/ap_on_re_as/afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan - A top American commander on Friday accused Iran of supplying powerful roadside bombs to militants in Afghanistan and said the U.S. would "act decisively" if the cross-border flow continues.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

which will undoubtedly be reason for right-wingers to proclaim our need to invade Iran.

super - and then using that same logic- that those who supplied weapons to the Taliban need to be eradicated - we need to be MOST sure to send troops to take out Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, PNAC, the Bush family - for ultimately being the ones whose signatures are on the receipts for the guns currently killing U.S. troops in Iraq, in Afghanistan..., and let's even go back to the Bush/Nazi business dealings which directly caused the deaths of the Allied forces in WWII

let's do it! - let's heap the consequences upon those guilty of supplying arms and support to terrorists!

time to take out the trash!

Because that Iranian president guy is speaking at a World Leader's Conference at the University.

Now my question is... if you don't want your tax dollars funding a hippie-liberal God hating institution like Columbia...are you okay with these universities that allow fascist authors like Ann Coulter to spread their message of love on their campuses?
Why should my tax dollars fund that? Hmm?

You might've noticed that another user asked about Israel and that's what prompted me to remember just how confounded I am that only in very recent years have the liberals begun their insane campaign to attack Christians too . I often felt bad for Jewish people always being hated and attacked , but i guess I never fully understood how bad it is until Christians somehow got lumped in with the Hate Campaign .
It's ugly , sure . But I believe it's also leading us down a dangerous path .
Where does it end ?
When does it stop ?
How much further will they go if they can go this far in only a few short years ???!!!

And who else has noticed that many liberals are now associating Radical Islamist Terror with . .. . . Christians ??

Send in a team of snipers... hire a hit-person (Just remember Nanny PC just in time there.. PHEW !).. RATHER THAN WASTE BILLIONS of $$$ and ££££ and even MORE IMPORTANTLY than money... LIVES ?

Just a thought... if, as the ppl believe that was his motive for invading Iraq in 2003... after all, it couldn't possibly be for oil now could it?

For many far lefts, faulting America for the barbarity of others is a long entrenched mantra, but did this modern anti- Israeli disparagement begin with Carter?

You do know he identifies with people for whom playing with snakes and drinking poison is viewed as 'normalcy', don't you?
