Sympathy? Not here, sir. You miss my point. History din’t begin in ‘99, nor did it begin in ‘56. Go back further. Lemme know when you’ve truly figured out this battle. You’re no conservative (interesting word, that) nor will you ever be. Look out for your own, defend the principles your country was founded from...that’s a start in the right direction.

“People don’t realize that there’s only a couple Vin Scullys or Steve Stones around baseball.”

Oh, man...Steve Stone. I miss that guy, I truly do. Never mention his name in a forum I’m involved in, please....EVER.

PS - GO CUBBIES!

Like any other born and raised American, I say screw ‘em! You messed with the US?!? Forget your actual point! Can we bomb ‘em again just to prove that we own the world? Please?!? After all, they did, God forbid, say the ultimate power (us, duh!) was wrong in bombing the hell out of them in an area they consider sacred Christian ground (Christians....who are those again?) and have fought Islam for centuries to defend, and we thus decided to overwrite history regardless of any international law. To hell with the fact that Serbia never attacked us nor never would, unlike those we support. They regressed to defend garbage some regard as “international law”. Meh....what is international law, really? Outside of what is determined through the entire history of the world and millions of lives lost, a process of accepting the differences in mankind for a belief that laws are created within a purpose, to actually mean something and prevent the more corrupt people who find themselves in a place of power from trying to get greedy? To hell with them....can we kill something?! Yeah, yeah....they’ve been our allies since our ancestors made us what we are...blah, blah, blah....they told us we were wrong this time! Kill ‘em all!

Now don’t get me wrong. There is a reason those in power get there, whether on an individual level or as a whole country. I will defend what is mine and what myself or my family have worked harder than others to attain, yet fighting someone else’s battle I will never do, no matter what my personal gain may be. This country was founded off of hard work and an undeniable faith in a God, a fair and just God. He does not tolerate those that feed off another’s suffering, and quite obviously He does not condone it.

....It’s a damn shame everything I thought this country could accomplish was nothing but an illusion. Greed and power-mongering prevails in the most ignorant folks that have the position to go for the gusto...always. This country currently isn’t, nor never again will be, what it was created for. The chance for all people, regardless of where they came from, to make a positive example of the way life could be through the bare effort of trying to be a good, honest, God-fearing person really means nothing. Living life trying just to be hard-working yet fair to all means jack, because....after all, there’s power to be gained from almost every situation life offers to screw someone over, personally or on a global level.

Yes, your eventual replacements as decision makers were idiotically thinking on a somewhat unattainable Utopian level. But seriously, we thought the effort was what mattered, and thus the mindset was justified. We are your generation “X”. We are the immediate future. We thought we were at least striving to be something of an example for the world. Our mistake. Point taken.

There she is. The Democrat response to your position. Odd...you’re right on par with the left side! You know what? You may as well be one, since you see the same way on this one. And who said these two opposite sides can’t meet on common ground? God bless Bill Clinton, I guess. I think the point of the poster you responded to was that all of our potential presidents have one thing in common...total stupidity. I’m with him, Bugs Bunny in ‘08! My only hope is that McCain wins and keels over shortly after, since Mrs. Palin is the only one I know little enough about to at least offer some sort of optimistic hope towards. Otherwise, we’re in for a bumpy ride.

PS - If anything, that lady is a true blue American. Serbia doesn’t make ‘em like that. Yugo’s you can attack at will...fine...bash ‘em all you want...they were a joke for a car, but Serbian women don’t and never will look anything like that. My condolences if your wife does.

“If the Serbs had taken the side of the Georgians, they would have scored not a small number of propaganda points. But they did the exact opposite, and know a left wondering why they are being mistreated.”

Wake up, pretty boy. Serbs took no side. You show me where a Serbian politician backed what happened. No, not where they warned the world it would happen, since that was the main point....where they said it was totally acceptable. Get that through your thick, ignorant skull. Get with the program or GTFO. International law means jack sh** nowadays, thanks to our country’s actions. These are called repercussions, get used to them and stop crying, or stop paying attention to politics.

“...when a small and nearly defenseless country was stomped on in a mismatch of superpower proportions favor the superpower.”

Like the Nazis, perhaps? You’ve got the wrong ethnic group to point that finger at, amigo. Why I come read FR is to get a mindset of what I consider the “thinking, conservative, loyal, and judicious” side of our gov’t. Needless to say, I see where we’re going. Sad but true, everything that comes our way from here on out we asked for...no, we made it happen.....enjoy. And in the meanwhile, remember what every nation that held our power in the past eventually corrupted and doomed itself with.

“If the Serbs choose to align themselves with Putin in the present, while complaining about what happened in the past, then what they are doing in the present is controlling.”

Seriously, you make no sense. The Serbs chose sides? Are you talking about choosing between the former ally bombing them versus the ones who realized it was a bad move to break international laws? Had we backed Serbia and helped them in Kosovo instead of killing them and backing terrorists, who do you think they would’ve “chosen”?

And all your BS about Serbs being delighted about the Georgia debacle is truly tiring. You are the only one spewing this nonsense. Nowhere have I read such a thing from anyone against our position on Kosovo. The point is that just like our offense in Kosovo, Russia’s action in Georgia was wrong. The question you should be asking yourself is why was Kosovo regarded as “Pandora’s Box”, and who opened it? No American has any ground to stand on regarding Georgia because we changed the rules. We were warned.....and it’s not over. This was simply the first of many repercussions.

Was it written by a pothead as well? It’s dated September 9th.

“Fiction. Christians have always been the majority. Muslim 40%, Orthodox 31%, Roman Catholic 15%, other 14%.”

Let’s recheck those numbers in 10-15 years. I think you know where I’m going with this. If not, look at Kosovo statistics and how they have changed in the last 10 years.

“Of course, by doing that they would be accepting in principle the independence of Kosovo...”

Now that the international laws have been broken and apparently were useless, I don’t see any issues here. For an example, see Georgia. Do any of the warnings those opposed to Kosovo’s independence made throughout that catastrophe make sense yet?

“Georgia has long stood with the Serbs in not recognizing Kosovo. This is the bloody thanks that they get.”

Serbia was an extremely loyal ally of the US in WWI and WWII, and pretty much anything else for that matter. What was the bloody thanks they got?!? What you and many other posters like Mr. Tailgunner Joe, who honestly believes Serbs pray to Putin and Russia every morning, need to realize is that if there’s anything the Serbs learned in the last 20 years or so, it’s that there are no real allies anymore. Only countries temporarily uniting their might for the accomplishment of mutual goals.

Seriously....what are you, 12 years old? Calling people “fools” and making statements like...

“You Serbs are Russia’s bitches so you better do what Vlad says or he’ll have to pimp-smack you. Know your role, punks.”

“That’s right, nobody gives a crap about your shitty little country. You are Russia’s friend and our enemy so we are glad now about what Clinton did to you. We feel stupid for ever having sympathized with you. Now we are happy about your misfortune.”

...show you for your absolute ignorance and idiocy. You have real issues, amigo...GO SEEK HELP.

You, sir, are one extremely disturbed and psychopathic individual. Now go do everyone a favor and run into oncoming traffic. Chop, chop.

Continue living life with your blinders on, chief. When it happens here, just go with the flow and bust out your prayer rug. No one here said anything about killing “them” but you. My point was that Serbs should not have to change their lives and beliefs just because terrorists say so, but you once again haven’t a clue what the real deal is. Your mind is fixated on what you want the situation to be, thus no rationalizations or pointing out of blatant facts will sway you. Nothing to see here....move on. You continue to work real hard on figuring out templates, I’ll be out of the basement, dealing with the problem at hand. When something like 9/11 or what almost happened at Ft. Dix happens in your neighborhood, you’re going to have a lot of template reading to do.

You really don’t know the truth about what went on...your ramblings about massacres and people being driven out of their homes...give me a break. Propaganda may work on the ignorant, but don’t try and educate anyone without knowing the facts, especially when they themselves are searching for the real facts while you go with whatever is fed to you. Find out how many innocent deaths those US-led bombings on Serbia caused before you start throwing around numbers here. Find out why those Kosovars were evacuating, and who really forced them out. Find out what happened to those who tried to stay, and by whose hand it happened....then speak, and do so intelligently.

The funny thing is folks like yourself honestly believe that Serbs one day woke up and decided to start butchering people for no apparent reason, and you calmly accept and go with that ridiculous notion. You don’t even once think that maybe there is more to this than you’re being told. The reality is they (young Albanians led by militant Muslims who only want a foothold in Europe) tried to take that region over and were successful only due to the aid of the US (who also want a foothold in Europe). So when Serbia, one of the US most loyal allies throughout history, sees us take the side of known terrorists....can you possibly fathom what that would feel like?

Don’t try and make good Christian folks here feel bad by you siding with Muslims and saying it’s our fault for not doing the same. Some of us here have spines. God doesn’t hand anyone anything “on a silver platter” and if it comes down to living while being forced out of my country, my home, converting to Islam, possibly watching those I love being brutalized or killed vs. dying to try to prevent it.....I’m defending my family, my country, my beliefs and values...a shame you’re not, that’s why our country is where it is now.

PS- No need for the huge fonts, our eyes are just fine. It’s you who are apparently “blind”.

“Sure, you may consider that a “major betrayal,” but, imho, Bush has been loyal to America’s values.”

Sure, you may consider it a move loyal to America’s values, but, IMHO, America’s values should never walk hand-in-hand with church-burning Muslim terrorists. This country was founded off and based on CHRISTIANITY.

In regards to your US/Titanic likening....don’t forget about the media taking the role of the band...happily playing a tune as if nothing disastrous is going on.

“The only way the Russians could even hurt us was if they launched all their ICBM’s today. Without total surprise, we’d crush them in any fight. Our technology superiority gives us a first strike capability that would strip them of their nuclear delivery capacity. Their bombers are jokes. Their nuclear missile subs are no match for Navy. And stealth combined with cruise missiles and JDAMS would destroy the ICBM’s in their silos. More mobile missiles don’t have the range and can be shot down by our missile defenses. Their army is a joke — in Grozny a bunch of Islamic idiots shredded a Russian battalion in a few days. Compare that to US forces who shred Islamic idiots without hurting the civilians hidden aroudn them. Their navy is a rusting radioactive junkpile — useful only for stealing money from India and China. Their air force flies the planes that US made planes have played target practice with for three decades.

Only Serbian idiots think that Russia will come to their aid with anything more than talk.

And no, there’s no way we can blame Serbia for Iran. Serbia would have to actually matter on the world stage. They only matter when they face unarmed neighbors or quiet Austrian princes out on a peaceful drive. They may be the only people that make a Jihadi seem brave and intelligent.”

Your ignorance flows like a mighty river. Looks like my tagline was made just for you, chief. I don’t know what pedestal you perch on each morning, but I suggest you ease up on your rude remarks.
