Follow the money. How much you want to bet it leads to George Soros?

Apples and oranges FReep friend.

The Chinese government which invaded and annexed Tibet is still very much in power and doing everything possible to dismantle and destroy Tibetan culture.

The Dalai Lama is revered the world over for his courage and moral authority.

What happened to the Armenians, as despicable as it was, was done by a nation-state that no longer exists. Turkey is now an ally of the United States, and one who’s cooperation we disparately need if we are going to continue our efforts in Iraq.

This resolution in the House is a cynical attempt by the Demoscum leadership to drive a wedge between the United States and Turkey for the SOLE purpose of sabotaging the war effort.

And to think that just weeks ago they were yapping like hysterical poodles about something that Rush said — claiming he was disrespecting US servicemembers when he was doing nothing of the kind.

They, on the other hand, have a real knife in their hands and they are going to use it to stab every man and woman in uniform in the back — unless we call them on it and make sure that everyone knows that is exactly what they are doing.

I cannot wait to see how the Armenian National Committee of America and the Armenian Diaspora react to this development.

Isn't that peacemaker Sheehan running against Nancy???

Worried about antagonizing Turkish leaders, House members from both parties have begun to withdraw...

B.S. They're worried about the voters turning them out next election.

Of course the article totally avoids the obvious angle of the whole thing being a ploy by the left to destabilize our soldiers’ major supply lines.

Absolutely no mention of that angle, and several quotes by lawmakers saying stuff like “it’s a great idea at the wrong time” instead of “what a depraved way to try to undermine our country”.

Unbelievable.

Who cares about ticking off China? They just showed us how much they care with their tainted food and drugs. They came back with false allegations against the US and were ready to start an embargo because their products are unsafe for human consumption. I wish we would really tick them off. Who else is supporting their commie economy? Tell them to stick it.

Who cares if China gets ticked off. They should start to accept some responsibility for a change when it comes to products from that country.

I heard on Monday night on Glenn Beck’s show that there was a spiritual leader from the Armenian Christian Church in Turkey that said this was a mistake.

Expect 2008 to be a clean out for the Dems as 2006 was to the Pubs.

“I\’ve worked with real-world Armenian\’s and I think they would rather we kill current Islamofacists than some stupid declaration of century-old genocide.”

While it is important to never forget any and all genocides, including the Armenian one, it is just as important that we be able to stand up and fight the islamofacists that had helped to make it their history infamous Ottoman Empire possible.

Hope you’re right and that the GOP is smart enough to put all the dem shortcomings together in one piece that says it all. My guess is though that they won’t be effective enough. There is so much material available to really pound the Dems treasonous and ridiculous behavior. I just hope the GOP will get it together.

oh, normally I wouldn't care about it, if we weren't so weak now. Seriously, Hillary is going to win-- hacking the vote machines, voting the dead, payoffs, threats, a few hits here and there-- she'll do it. The Russians aren't big fans of us so Russia, CHina, Iran etc. Have them all get in line. Back when we had MEN in government, real men, and real generals like Patton and Macarthur, you'd have a point- because we'd be safe. Now we've got the 9th circuit court of San Fran, Pelosi and Reid, Edwards combing his hair and Hillary with Obama as her VP. Heck, I'D attack!

I have to agree with you. If Hillary gets in there, we’re all in big trouble.

This makes total sense especially for an Armenian Christian in Turkey. What is most curious about this insanity is that these liberals keep talking about them being the only people in this nation to repair the damage the Bush administration has done around this globe. They can't keep up with their own rhetoric.

Let’s see, we have illegals flooding in, we have a SF Judge placing an injunction telling the gov. it can’t tell employers they maybe hiring illegals, we have an energy crisis that will make the ‘70’s look like a hiccup on the way, we have a two front war going on....

And these knuckle dragger's are worried about an event that happened almost 100 years ago concerning a country that no longer exists!!!

Message to congress.... Bite me....
