At least 30 people have been killed in inter-communal fighting in south-eastern Nigeria, officials say…

…Nigeria's 130m people are divided into many different ethnic and religious groups, which often clash for control of economic resources such as land.

More than 10,000 people have been killed in such clashes since 1999….

The liberals did not raise a fuss about killing Christians. HCJB World Radio reported on April 06, 2004 that religious violence resulted in the deaths of 1,500 believers, including eight pastors, and the destruction of 173 churches. The Christian Association of Nigeria released the names of the martyred pastors who served Baptist, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Assemblies of God and the Evangelical Reformed congregations, as well as the Church of Christ in Nigeria and the Evangelical Church of West Africa.. …more at http://www.hcjb.org/displayarticle1691-mode=thread.html

The liberals are ignoring what is happening to Christians. Instead they repeat endlessly their following mantra:

Let's remember that liberals were not the cause of our getting involved in the Iraqi conflict, where over 1,500 of our service men and women needlessly were killed and countless others maimed, plus thousands of innocent civilians killed or injured. The liberals did not thrust our nation into an irresolvable debt after enjoying a surplus.

Are you a troll or is it my misunderstanding your sarcasm?? Your last paragraph is suspicious.

I said the last paragraph is the current Liberal mantra. I see it over and over in "news" commentary and even in my small town newspaper. No one worries about 1,500 Christians being killed but every day we get beat over the head with the casualties in Iraq.

Muslims killing in Africa? Say it aint so, it's been going on for years. The problem is, the media refuses too say "muslims are killing Christians in the name of allah and wiping out villages, raping young girls, etc, etc, etc."

OK sorry.

I Guss I should have explained more. The Liberals are also claiming that they were not the cause of our getting involved in the Iraqi conflict. (The Senate voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refused to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions. Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133. I guess there were only 156 Liberals in congress.)
Liberals claim that over 1,500 of our service men and women needlessly were killed and countless others maimed, plus thousands of innocent civilians killed or injured in Iraq. (A relief group, Save the Children, said in a report in 2002. “In the last decade alone, more than two million children haven been killed during wars.” The report did not give a breakout, but among the places mentioned were Rwanda, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Angola, Congo, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, and Somalia.")
The Liberals claim they did not thrust our nation into an irresolvable debt after enjoying a surplus. (It seems the Liberals would prefer that the US "not bothered" with homeland security after 9-11 or taken any military action. They talk like we should have continued the policies that encouraged Enron and others to make sky high profits. Following their strategy, we should have continued the policy of using up military supplies without replacement and of using our oil reserves to keep the price of gasoline down.) They repeat these same statements over and over. (The BIG LIE strategy.)

That sounds like comments made in the ‘40s when the American public, the Government and media circles had the opinion that Europeans were always fighting wars. People thought that WWI was the last big war and the world could ignore the Nazis.

[bookworm100]

I guess I should explain more.
Many Americans in the 1940s felt that US fighting in World War I,(the “Great War” or the “war to end all wars”) was a mistake; that it was a decision imposed on the public by “British propaganda, international bankers, and munitions makers.” In the early ‘30s, there was strong antiwar sentiment in the US. Memories of the casualties of WWI convinced many Americans to never get involved in any future European war. The US passed a series of Neutrality Acts which prohibited US companies from trading with belligerents. In 1937, Indiana Representative Louis Ludlow proposed a constitutional amendment to require a nationwide referendum before the US could enter an unprovoked war without the consent of “We the People.” Until the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, polls of opinion in the US showed 80 percent opposition to American involvement in the fighting in Europe.
Saying we can ignore Muslims killing Christians sounds familiar.
