Amen!
The biggies are No Profanity, that one is stickly enforced. No racist posts, no inciting violence, no personal attacks. These are also enforced but a little laditude is granted since this is an adult forum. Lastly if you refer by name to another poster you should ping them to the post. Also this is a conservative forum so if you are not conservative you might get the zot. Newbies in particulars, the longer you've been a member the more slack moderators will give you, but long timers are expected to set the examble and not immune. Hope that helps.
but I'm not among the classic conservative homophobe stance.
That "Bareback Mounted" movie is going to be the death of us. Next it will be "Gumsmoke."
That they had no ties to Bin Laden construction, when they did. They may not now, but they did. I'll have to go look, like I said.
He can veto a bill? Who Knew?
On most issues, I think most of the folks here are in agreement. Unfortunately it just makes sense that the most visible and action-packed threads are the ones where we're at each other's throats.
Thank you monkeywrench for your excellent assessment.
tell me more about the role dubai plays in Iraq...and what their role is in helping the US in the Middle East.
LOL!!!! Now that was funny no matter what side of the debate you are on.
I caught a little bit of Reid talking, and it was nauseating, him pausing for effect and then mentioning Katrina, etc.
It seems like many here are doing almost the same thing: saying this is payback for the border situation. In other words, opposing this port deal is less about the ports than it is other "issues" and overall axes to grind with Bush. And in the midst of that, they don't care if we just crapped over a critical (not perfect, but important) ally at a really, really bad time. To think the UAE would jeopardize their economy by being complicit in or in any way allowing an attack through DPW is insane. After their oil resources are gone, business and tourism will be what they rely on.
Perhaps you don't think it's an insult to say that my values change dependent on who occupies the White House. Perhaps you don't think it's an insult to say that I support things I don't believe in just because people of a certain party support them, or a certain President is in the Oval Office. Perhaps you think that accusing a person of being weak and lacking values is not an insult.
Since that apparently is the case, I can draw the conclusion that you were not even aware that it was you who began the insults, and not I.......and feel a bit sorry for you.
But, since I have vowed not to get into any of these back biting sessions for the time being, and since you seem intent on biting and denying, and accusing me of lying on top of it, I shall leave you to reflect on the enormous condecension exhibited here in your response to my very civil first post to you.
btw on the subject.......open your eyes. The posts are here to support what I have said.
I never said that. Period.
I never mentioned bin Laden or his family's company in the course of this deal.
You are quite wrong.
"ICBMs don't need to dock."
While I generally value your view on things military, I would like to point out how infrequently ICBMs are useful while ships with marines, cruise missiles and planes are both frquently useful and also highly visible projections of American power.

No, they do not; being reelected is all important, don't you know?
To think the UAE would jeopardize their economy by being complicit in or in any way allowing an attack through DPW is insane.
Why people would ignore this fact is proof beyond a doubt what this is about. It's sickening.
And... you do not?
"Homosexuality far predates us"
That does not compute.
Do you know what 'non-sequitur' means? It means; I called you out on a big lie, you respond with something unrelated to the lie as if it were relevant.
