((((Try as you may, you are a troll. Jim will deal with you in his own time and way. If I am wrong, then you are only acting like a troll. Little difference! ))))


Please explain how I am a troll. Please explain how I am acting like a troll. Please tell me what jim will deal with.
I have done nothing but defend myself from comments made towards me that were completely inaccurate. I have posted my views in other cases.
Please do explain, as I am eager to understand what point it is you are trying to make( other just more namecalling and labeling that is). If I am doing something wrong, PLEASE point it out with examples.

Had the same thought.

((((You signed up yesterday and talk to others the way you do. I don't think you'll be here too much longer. But, I do hope you enjoyed your day trip over here.))))


Care to point out the "how I do"?
While you are at it would you care to provide the post that I responded to so that we can examine the context that my "how you do" fits into?

Almost agree but pulling the lever for McCain would give me severe heartburn.

Best line of the speech: "There's always a temptation, in the middle of a long struggle, to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and problems of the world, and to hope the enemy grows weary of fanaticism and tired of murder. This would be a pleasant world, but it's not the world we live in. The enemy is never tired, never sated, never content with yesterday's brutality. This enemy considers every retreat of the civilized world as an invitation to greater violence. In Iraq, there is no peace without victory. We will keep our nerve and we will win that victory."

Troll or no troll, I think we pretty much have a consensus that no one really wants to hear anything more from you.

Could it be that Operation Enduring Freedom started on October 7, 2001 and that he was giving this speech today for STRONG action tomorrow?

The mid to late 90's shows us all that quite clearly.

I think he did hit the reality nail exactly on the head.

You are abrasive in form, paraphrasing liberal talking points, conducting yourself in a way (especially as a newbie) that is not acceptable on this forum.

Your style and form has existed here for many years. It is how we spot DU trolls. Many of us have awards for perception.

Jim is the sysop here on FR. He is the gatekeeper, and dispenser of ozone. If you had really read (for as long) here as you claim, you would know these things. They comprise the backbone of etiquette on FR.

Agreed, Thrush....I think this speech was a hit out-of-the-park.

W was forced into being a foreign policy President, very early on and thankfully there has been no turning back.

President Bush is most excellent at foreign policy..he also shows a good, strong, front to the rest of the world. I'm glad he was in office on 911....BUT

The Iraqis did not elect him, WE DID. . .Bush does not know that Terrorists are not crossing our Southern Border..nor does he even pretend to care

He also took the time to talk and travel the USA regarding SS reform..his little "pet domestic project". This leads me to believe that what King Bush..ooops..President Bush takes a personal interest in is what he'll work on, but WE THE PEOPLE..how DARE we ask for law enforcement in our own Country...

((((You are abrasive in form)))
Examples? I treat people as they treat me sir, had you been reading you would see that.

((((paraphrasing liberal talking points))))
Which points are those?

((((conducting yourself in a way (especially as a newbie) that is not acceptable on this forum.)))
What way is that? How is it not acceptable to defend yourself in this forum?


((((Your style and form has existed here for many years. It is how we spot DU trolls. Many of us have awards for perception.))))
What is my style? Where do you get the DU thing from?
I have never posted there nor would I, MUCH LESS agree with the stuff spewed forth there.

Funny thing that when you read this thread, I didn't do the attacking, I did the defending. Rightly so, I might add.

You can consider me a troll if you like. Its your dime. But do not think you will label me as such without a response.
Hows that for a liberal talking point?

I agree, that ones in our own party who are now the harshest ones on President Bush.




I supposed the disagreements with him from your own party are completely unfounded?

Or is disagreement just not allowed?

Am I the only one who thought this was big news ?

" Overall, the United States and our partners have disrupted at least ten serious al Qaeda terrorist plots since September the 11th,
including three al Qaeda plots to attack inside the United States.
We've stopped at least five more al Qaeda efforts to case targets in the United States, or infiltrate operatives into our country. "

This should also get coverage :

" Together, we've killed or captured nearly all of those directly responsible for the September the 11th attacks;
as well as some of bin Laden's most senior deputies;
al Qaeda managers and operatives in more than 24 countries;
the mastermind of the USS Cole bombing, who was chief of al Qaeda operations in the Persian Gulf;
the mastermind of the Jakarta and the first Bali bombings; a senior Zarqawi terrorist planner, who was planning attacks in Turkey;
and many of al Qaeda's senior leaders in Saudi Arabia. "

You're comments just don't feel right. You're attitude toward others is just too haughty for you to be so brand-spanking new.
