Politics - 22 October 2007

OK.

Here is a condition that I, as a pro-choice liberal, can accept:

Therapeutic abortion can be outlawed, BUT, if the child is either put up for adoption OR if the father misses even one child support payment he must, by law, by force if needed, be immediately and permanently surgically castrated. If you want to stop abortion, let men pay a price comensurate to that paid by women.

I'll go for that. How about you?

In my discussions with my parents, both aged 45ish, I have found, that when I mention Socialism, or Communism, they label it as a evil.

I blame this on Cold War propaganda, the problem is, due the fact for the foreseeable future, these ideas will continue to squelch things like, Universal Heath Care, Public Utilities, Free Secular and Public Schooling (Including University), will continue to be perceived as bad.

I would willingly, pay 60-80% of my income, along with most of the people in my generation I know, to be assured of those 3 things at top Quality. However these are things only the Government can implement, and in doing so would be labeled Socialist.

So why is it that if a government tried to implement these things as the NDP did in Ontario in the 1980's, they are immediately condemned by, the people, the businesses, and the government.

Be honest:

Would you risk your life in a war zone on the other side of the
world?

Is the "war on terror" worth dying for?

Do you believe the cause is really worth it?
(billions in debt money, hundreds of thousands of dead people)

Would you risk your life and health to support Bush & Cheney?

Do some research into what you are really fighting for:

abortion, welfare programs, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, then why didn't the Republican President and Republican controlled Congress at the time do something about those issues?

It is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and this has never been truer than in the case of Cheney. What Cheney is doing behind his shield of secrecy can be simply defined: planning and implementing a preemptive war of aggression. (Iraq, Iran) During the Nuremberg tribunal in the aftermath of World War II, the chief American prosecutor, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, stated, “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” Today, we have a vice president who articulates publicly about global conflict, and who speaks in not-so-veiled language about a looming Armageddon. If there is such a future for America and the world, let one thing be certain; World War III, as postulated by Dick Cheney, would be an elective war, and not a conflict of tragic necessity. This makes the crime even greater.

Why is it Ok to deny the genocide of Christians Armenians and not Ok to deny the Holocaust?


One happened less than 70 years ago and the other less than 100 years ago.

Now as many will project your hate and lies on me, I say bring it on. It is not OK to deny either. And to give in to Turkey and its threats is to give in to terrorism. These events happened and for those who will defend the act of denial are no deferent than those who deny the fact we can never compromise with evil as we will lose the backing of God and our souls.

Let me put this in to perspective for my fellow Republicans who are bowing down to Turkey. It is like the saying about the left. When two Lib’s’ walking past and see a man attacking a women they say “he needs help” Or to den this is like saying we can not win the war in Iraq with out the help of Turkey. To deny this is to go back to the days when we would help evil dictators on the basis of the lesser of two evils. Was this right then and is it now? NO. And when we claimed to go after the head of the snake or evil we had better make sure our own house is clean. And today it is not and the Jewish lobby is fighting this very evil act and denying the ties and training ground of the holocaust as Germany was in on this. One more thing about the fear tactics of our leaders, which is the lefts tactics to use fear to control us all. To say we can not win with out Turkey is saying we are weak which is what the left says every day and we need the world to defend us which is a lie.

Now for those on the left you want to make friends with Syria and Iran but not Turkey and they all Muslims that is will and want us dead and to trust any is pure blindness on our part. We must win the war and never compromise with any of them.

Now to give some quotes from our past great leaders.

After WW I former president Theodor Roosevelt berated Woodrow Wilson for his refusal to take action to stop the genocide, “ The Armenian massacre’ “ was the greatest crime of war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it”. The Harvard College Library.

Today we see this happening all over again by surrendering our just and morals and gives us no right to fight any evil if we turn our head to one and attack another. This is called hypocrisy and to be a part of this evil!

USA ambassador Henry Morgenthau in a telegram July 16th 1915 “ A campaign of race extermination “ against the Armenians. National Archives, State Department

Turkey has fought to bury this black page of history and our leaders are dipping their hands in this blood of Christians today. I ask that every Republican and Democrat unite for once in this our history that is being made today. By sharing these facts and looking into them for your self’s. Than call the news media and politicians and tell them to support HR 106.

We do not want the blood of innocent people on our hands. For the right it is the belief in God and for the left it is your claim that you care.
Unite today and send a message to congress if they deny this they deny the Holocaust and both are wrong.

And tell Rush and Glenn beck not to sell out the USA and Gods word. To cave in to Turkey and bury this evil is to dip your hands and soul in the blood of innocent Christians and side with Islam that is to convert us all or enslave and kill us.



I am a life long Republican and you are a sell out as this is about right and wrong not left and right.
Jesus did not sell out to the devil in 40 days in the dessert and you are. To deny this is to turn your back on Christians and God. And remember who ever you work for on the hill we the Christian right and the middle will cast our votes for you sell outs for the highest dollar and the Turks are using our tax dollars to pay you and your boss off.

35 Errors Discovered in Al Gore’s Film
NewsBusters readers are well aware of the recent controversy involving Al Gore’s schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
A few weeks ago, a British judge cited nine errors in the film. Team Gore responded Thursday in a rebuttal published at the Washington Post’s Fact Checker blog.
Now, famed climate change skeptic Christopher Monckton, in a detailed report published by the Science and Public Policy Institute, not only refuted Gore’s defense of the movie's contents, but also listed a total of 35 errors in the award-winning abomination responsible for most of the global warming hysteria sweeping the planet (emphasis added):

instead of a two party system, we can have a true multi-party system?

Also, would you support getting rid of the electoral college as well and make it into a popular vote?

The election of senators used to be in the hands of politicans. That is how the constitution originally had it. It was changed by progressives so that now they are elected by the people.

HITLER was responsible for killing thousands of people...making him a murderer.

Well...
George W. Bush is responsible for millions of deaths...thousands of families that have lost a father, a mother...or both.

Does that not make him a murderer?

Or is he "special" because he is the president?
Is it considered "the right thing" because he is a political figure?
Because if that is your agrument, then so was Saddam! And Osama! In their countires, they were considered political figures...do our twin towers going down that horrible day was for the greater good?

If the law states that if a president commits murder...then he loses his presidency...then why is Bush still president?

"Because he has not actually killed them HIMSELF!"

...But he as good as did!
He ordered it to be done.

Whom agrees/disagrees?

in the 70's

yes, there were some scientists, but there was definitely no consensus. VERY few scientists believed in that -- so few there was not a single commission on the subject. no offense, but anyone who uses this argument (that most scientists believed in global cooling in the 70s) sounds seriously misinformed.

p.s. and for those that claim al gore "invented [the theory of] global warming", this is also not possible. AGW was predicted in 1898, half a century before al gore was born.
