According to most of my views, I may be, to most of you here, a liberal.
I laugh at your horrible ignorance of a "liberal". I used to be a conservative until I had the sense to question my beliefs and search for logical evidence to support both sides.
I'm not going to say that Kerry is cleaner than a preacher's sheets, but I'm one of those who was eager to get Bush out of office before Kerry was even the main candidate to run against him.
I still don't understand why some of you can't admit that the Iraqi war was a mistake. *The 9/11 commission confirmed that Iraq did not have ties to al-quaida (sp?) *No weapons of mass destruction - which is the very reason Bush gave for why we went over there to begin with. *months before Bush spoke of invading Iraq, I was reading in the back of my local newspaper (The Canton Repository) that troops, ships, and supplies were being sent to the Persian Gulf in preparation of a war. *No one has yet addressed this comment in my conversations: Imposing a forced democracy is not a democracy at all. Especially when the candidates are US appointed choices. *Bush has no other logical explanation for his decisions other than his decisions come directly from God. Doesn't anyone see this as dangerous? If I said tomorrow that God told me to kill Pat Robertson because he was an instrument of the devil and an evil doer, how many of you would blindly follow and believe me without question? *Giving a huge tax cut during time of war is not logical. Taxes are the governments way of paying for everything it does. We all know this. If we all of a sudden have this bigger expense in an account ledger called "The War in Iraq", how do you expect to be able to pay it when you cut taxes? Oh, I get it...you cut from financial aid that students attend college with, you cut from state and local government aid, forcing sales and property taxes to rise, you cut from welfare, which in of itself causes more problems, (Now, I'm not saying welfare doesn't need reformed, but pulling the rug out from under people is NOT the solution), and the list goes on and on.
You people claim that liberals can't do logical arguments. You all cheer together like you are the smartest and best people of society without actually taking a closer look at the bigger picture and problems that plague our society.
I don't expect any of you to like me. But I'll be laughing my butt off when I read your responses. And I'll just shake my head. If you know the definition of logical and meaningful conversation, you'll hold the name calling and put downs for another day. You'll actually show some intelligence if you respond to this post in meaningful, friendly debate. I wonder if any of you are capable of that.
Peace, Beckles
Ever heard of a small town in Russia, called Beslan? That's your future under Kerry.
Fair enough.
LOL, good idea. Just change "LOL" to "Bush", make a full-screen version of it, walk around showing potheads the graphics...
