It amazes me at the inability of many who frequent this forum to see what is happening in front of there eyes. It appears that to admit that this country is being led by the most corrupt administration in its history is somehow to be labeled un-American.
No-Saint: Your initial sentence says it all. First of all, you callously say that your son or daughter would deserve what they get if standing there holding an RPG. Initially, let me be so bold as to speak for all members of this board, right, left and middle, that each of us, everyday, should get down on our knees and thank God over and over again, in the loudest voice possible that will reach the heavens, that we are not your son or daughter.
Did it ever occur to you (and I may presume it did not) that this guy was defending his country from invaders and occupiers. Had this been a white guy in 1941 holding an RPG at Pearl Harbor he would have been a hero. Your kind and your thinking are the reason this country is in the toilet.
Last night, while watching Farenheit 911, the movie showed some real ugly american soldiers (who I would think hold similar views as you) singing some rap song about "....burn mother ****er burn..." as Iraqis are burning in houses set afire. Thank God we liberated these people.
I called you a moron earlier. That was a mistake. You are sick, uncivilized and hopefully, soon, will go by the way of the dinosaurs.
Now for the forums resident idiot, Dogs That Bark (don't worry I won't confuse you with the forums resident psychopath Dr. Freeze). You continue to lie in your posts, post links to websites favorable to your sick positions on issues (when everyone knows you can find any supporting position on the web for any issue you want) which no one reads by the way, and spin stories to fit your draconian beliefs.
Do you realize we are they????
We slapped them.
We slapped there wives and children.
We killed their children.
I know, I know, I know, you have moved the target from weapons of mass destruction to well he was a bad guy anyway. I know, I know, I know, you don't want to talk about weapons of mass destruction anymore although that was the sole reason for this country, oooops I'm sorry, the coalition of Pagua and others, invasion of Iraq.
Once again, I know your having trouble allowing this to sink in, that guy with the RPG was not in the middle of Bowling Green Square shooting at your lovely bungalow. He was in Iraq defending his country from invaders and occupiers. To many, he was a hero who gave his life for his country. A common refrain I hear from many of you when it comes to Americans dying over there.
I don't think you felt bad for any Japanese pilot who lost his life bombing Pearl Harbor. They were invaders. Guess what, you shallow piece of crap, thats US!!!! You are supporting the most corrupt administration this country has had in its history. You and your corporate minion approach to the world makes me want to puke.
When do you fight back, you ask. YOU DEFEND YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE ATTACKED. Not for some trumped up reason that keeps changing to support a murderous, evil administration. Now as our illustrious vice-president said "Go f*** yourself".
Happy Fourth of July, Saint and Dogs. This holiday celebrates this country's independence from tyranny. Little did we know in 1776 that some 229 years later, we would become the tyrants, murderers and thugs. God help us.
