this appears to be your second post so i don't want to respond with you double suck, let's just say you
suck 1½ times.

Hate crimes = debate!? Who is this guy ... Zell Miller?

geez hog you seem so gung ho and testy.....so again anyone who thinks we ought to get the hell out of Iraq and thinks prez georgi is and idiot must be an a$$hole.

ps the citibank analogy is funny since they helped the terrorist launder money that helped many terrorist organizations and were instrumental in both the WorldCom and Enron scandles....... actually the drug dealer have more moral fiber in their financial dealings than Citigroup. at least you know what they're selling

guess you should learn to read more than the political propaganda that you spew so much. but no that would obvously be a waste of good literature and your eyes might open......hell i doubt you could handle the shock

Will someone summarize this thread into 30 words or less?

It was not the Senator or the Congressman, or the Representative, or the Reporter who gave us all the Freedoms we have now in this great country of ours.

It was the American Soldier.

The American Soldier from The Revolutionary Wars to the present Wars. Thank him/her for they are the true Heros that gave you your right to freedom, and your right to a freedom of speech.

We may not all agree on what we all have to say but that is what makes this country great. We can voice our opinions with out reprecussion.

So me having said that and being a 23 year and going soldier who enjoys fine cigars and a good old fire fight....I would like to say in my freedomistic right...

Screw all of you who talk crap about my Commander In Chief!

If you don't like him, then get your lazy asses to the voting booth and vote when it comes time to vote. Don't complain if you don't vote cause you don't have a damn leg to stand on!

That is all! Smoke if you got them!

Yo R6_80922:

I agree with you 100%.

Check out my post "What do...".

It was not ever and is not currently "only" the American Soldier that gives me my freedom. Do not read this wrong, I am not taking anything away from the millions of past and present brothers and sisters of our nation that have served, fought, died, or retired, I am simply giving credit where credit is due.

Our members of Congress and our Media have played a major role in my freedom. So has the military. So has the housewife that attends PTA meetings and waves a flag on holidays.

The kids killed at Kent State a few years back gave me my freedom, as did the kids that burned the American flag during their own war protests of the era.

The businessmen that travel the world, and then come home and talk to other Americans about how good it is to come home help me keep my freedom too.

I could go on and on, but I won't. Basically, there's a lot more to it than fighting a war to give me my freedom. War is a terrible thing, and many of my freedoms we enjoy stem from people and ideals that were able somehow to avoid war. This war we are involved in now will not in any way give me "more" freedom than I already have. It will protect me from terrorism.....maybe, but not give me freedom.

Don't take "freedomistic" rights too far. There are certain rights that I have that the soldier doesn't. If I don't like the Commander in Chief I can call him an A*shole, even to his face. Can a soldier do that? For this "lack" of freedom, I respect soldiers. Right or wrong, they support their boss. Good on them.

They "enjoying a firefight" part disturbs me. It's a little too gung-ho to be based on experience. I've been there, I've done that.....I still do it. I would give every penny I own, and all my time and effort so that another person would never have to experience it. There is nothing fun about death, killing, or the aftermath of the destruction. I know the ones, that like myself have seen it, it's in their eyes. Please do not pretend to ever enjoy a firefight. One day you may just have to be in one......it will leave a mark on you that you wish you could erase, but can't. If you've been there, and you still claim to enjoy it, then please seek counseling. I mean that. You've got some issues you need to get out of your head before they destroy you. I know.

Freedom doesn't only come from the military. Unfortunately they seem to lose their lives a lot quicker though. Please don't forget the countless thousands of heroes that have had their heads and arms broken under the billy club while protesting for your rights.....they're heroes too. Or the petitioners that devote their time to walking the streets for signatures....they're also heroes.

I think Rick is a hero......he's made more people actually "think" with his posts here than MTV ever could.

the winner and still king of the serial killer group above.

george bush with over 4000 of his countries young men and women and hundred's of thousands of irag citizens.

and for an encore, destroyed the financial structure of his country while enriching himself and his "friends."

if you will look at the date, i posted this long before there were
over 4000 deaths because we invaded a country that had no
connection whatsoever to the tragedy of 9/11. this president
**** hid the bodies of the dead returning from iraq. he knew
why you don't show american dead bodies, it pisses people off
and makes them wonder why. 55,000 dead in vietnam.

he conned the congress with his WMD's and the stupid
congress went along with him until he finally suspended habeas
corpus, the final act of a despot.

have you forgotten that he went to his "ranch" without horses,
he was afraid of them, to clear brush shortley after he failed to
pay attention to a memo from his intel that osama was planing
some attack on america.

forget the torture, what the hell they were only iraq's.

do you know any one in your family or any one you ever met that
could have done that.

are you uninformed or have you ignored the facts the american
people have been privy to eventually.

did you ever read "fortunate son." the bush family bought the
entire first printing to destroy it. is was too true to have it made
public.



his review is from: Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the
Making of an American President (Paperback)
If you want to find out more about public officials, start with the
books they don't want you to read. Fortunate Son, James
Hatfield's swan song, amasses the single most informative and
n: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President
ivilege, and arrogance nearing Shakespearean proportions. In
the wake of its destruction by its original publisher, subsequent
revival by Soft Skull Press, as well as the tragic suicide of its
author, this book has undergone several revisions. This third
revision, featuring a new forward by Greg Palast and Mark
Crispin Miller, is as outstanding as they come, the antithesis to
all of the Neoconservative-sanctioned Bush books flooding the
market. Approached as a cautionary tale, Fortunate Son's
enormous scope is as insightful as it is well-written. An amazing
work by an author whose brilliance resonates through every
chapter.

This is the book that (in its last chapter) documents with
excruciating detail Dubya's arrest for cocaine possession and
subsequent community service punishment...and how he got
the records destroyed as governor by taking the unprecedent
action of issuing a new driver's license to himself and
essentially erasing himself as a person in Texas prior to that
time. Devastating and brilliant!

i don't know who the ddllizard is that you quoted nor do i give a
****, but next time you are tossing a coin to see who you feel has
the facts, try researching it for yourself and then make a
decision based on your own knowledge, you can use the coin
to buy some gum.

Obama is GWB in blackface.

YOU HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED!!!!

i have no hate in me. when i had my heat attack 20 + years ago, i o rid of all of it. i dom't even think i hated bush jr. it is hard to hate a spoiled, self indulgent child, even when he grows up.

i think i hate cheney, because he is evil to the core, so i hate evil. i hate and detest pedophiles because of the damage they do to innocents. amd i hate what bush jr did that has destroyed the country/

i guess i have a little hate left.

i don't even hate the rabid right wingers on the boards nor the tea baggers. it is impossible to forgive their ignorance tho.
