Merle, America is not as selfish and provincial as France. Deal with it.

Could anyone be that dumb?

Good points Merle: Our fighting men are dying for "freedom" in Iraq - but we can't display the Ten Commandments in the USA. LET'S HAVE FREEDOM IN AMERICA FIRST!!!
To: BenLurkin
Maybe he wonders whether it's worth American blood to establish an Islamic Republica in Iraq.
To: BenLurkin
Bush is all for freedom in Iraq (translation: Islamic constitution), but has he said a peep about the Supreme Court decision that lets government take your home away? FREEDOM IN THE USA FIRST! I think that's what Haggard means, and I agree.
To: churchillbuff
I'd like to know which freedoms Merle thinks he has been denied.

Read the article. He talks about the freedom to display the 10 Commandments - - denied to us by the ACLU. I would add the freedom to not have your home confiscated by government for "redevelopment." And how about the freedom to keep most of what you earn? We aren't free in America - we work for the government, and for lazy public employees who have fat pensions courtesy of our high taxes. I wish Bush would concentrate on making Americans more free. Enough blood has been shed in Iraq, making that country safe for an Islamic constitution.

I have trouble relating to fundamentalist Christian isolationists. I just do. Conflating Constitutional jurisprudence with military and foreign policy seems rather mentally challenged to me in any event. If one cannot distinguish what should be distinguished, and find similarlities, where there are similarities, in a coherent way, one will usually come to the wrong conclusions.

If Merle sees our struggle against Muslim terrorists as being an impediment to pursuing a conservative agenda at home then he really is confused.

By the way, Chamberlainbuff, no one has failed to notice your love of this stuff. You're such a desperate pathetic troll, you must spend hours a day frantically searching for scraps that make you look like you were right when you opposed President Bush's reelection.

Fresh Agitprop Here!

No, the war in Iraq is costing about $1 billion a week.. THat's definitely an impediment to conservative agenda such as balancing the budget and cutting taxes, or even extending the "temporary" tax cuts. Also, the war in Iraq isn't part of a war against "Muslim terrorists," - or at least didn't start that way. Saddam was a secular dictator who had the fundamentalists brutally squashed. The chief of the Muslim terrorists is Osama, and we seem to have lost interest in him.
To: Petronski
So now you're treating Merle Haggard to the smear photos you've always used against me as your substitute for an effective argument? Haggard gained fame as a musical supporter of the Vietnam war and traditional values. It won't wash to smear him as a anti-american appeaser. But your slime tactics against me never worked either.
To: churchillbuff
Saddam was a secular dictator who had the fundamentalists brutally squashed. Gee, the right man, in the right place, at the right time.
Twisted values lead to twisted thinking.

No, I read the Iraq constitution - - it makes Islam the touchstone of all laws. That wasn't worth one American life.

Sometimes I think you're really an alias for Murrymom. You're that treacherous.
