The terrorists did, but then they’re not a nation.
But they were backed by nations , Iran and Syria .

...unfortunately, although I could read between Giuliani’s lines - tough on terror, liberal at home.

Same with Romney. Check EV's tome of a post on his flips. What a bozo.

The Barbary pirates declared war on us, they were properly handled.

WWII we had a Congressional declaration of war.

The War of 1812 had a Congressional declaration of war.

The Mexican American war had a Congressional declaration of war.

Pershing’s expedition wasn’t a war against a nation, but a romp into Mexico to find Pancho Villa. That would be akin to US military covert ops going into foreign nations to find terrorists, which I support.

Need anymore history?

“This foxnews Poll is being tampered with.. “

I laughed so hard when they said Ron Paul was ahead in poll.

That would be like the captain of the Titanic winning the Cunard Lines employee of the month award.

Romney openly admits he has changed to Pro-Life.

But you are just trying to move the goal posts again.

When are you going to admit that your fluff piece, that the NRA-ILA said was a lie, was wrong. Continuing to cling onto that lie destroys your credibilty when you actually do get other conservative issues right.

Good night. I’m sure I’ll see you around.

Ron Paul’s point is that we should consider the ramifications of what we do instead of blustering about like a bull in a china shop.

So, do we have a PC war in Iraq or are we running around like a bull in a china shop? My head is spinning trying to keep up with where you're coming from.

“Who do you consider to be “a far right winger?” Please define “far right winger.” “

IMO, “a far right winger” is a leftist term and I am leery of anyone who is comfortable using that language.

I didn't try to start anything. We are attempting to set the record straight.

I suggest you post your comment to EV, who did start it, and stop picking on the person YOU don't agree with.

What? The libs love him when he trashes America, and gives OBL’s rationalizations respect in a serious debate for President of the United States, for all the world to hear and see, WITH BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN TWO THEATERS.

Good grief man, his is opinion on CFR means squat after he aided OBLs’ “cause” like he did tonight.

Serves Foxnews right for screwing over Duncan Hunter.

Money talks, and someone is paying very well to suppress Tancredo and Hunter's message. FOX betrays us more than ABC/CBS/NBC by pretending to be conservative and then stacking the deck against conservative issues and candidates.

“Last time in the Primary he defeated an ex wife of Frank Sinatra, Jr......”.
I don’t recall that, but he defeated a strong popular Conservative Democrat named Sklar in the General. He is popular in this District and is known as “The Taxpayers Best Friend” locally.
I believe we need the voice of a Constitutionalist in Washington and I will vote for him again if he decides on running for his seat again.
FYI. there’s another strong Conservative out of the Texas City area who has announced he is running if Paul doesn’t.

Paul lost my vote a few weeks ago when I read the tripe on his website. He seemed weird also in real life, uneasy or even scared. I almost felt sorry for him.
He can save some money and go back home now, he definately isnt a contender imo.

No just smart enough to understand that biased “exit polls” don’t win an election.

But don’t take my word for it...ask John Kerry how those “exit polls” worked out for him.

So, how many innocent lives should we sacrifice for your right to carry whatever weapon you choose? One? Two? Twenty? 1000?
And if you maintain your right to carry any weapon whatsoever...how do we balance the safety scale for those who choose not to carry in kind?

The "safety scale" of those who chose not to carry at V-Tech was zero. - And your claim that certain types of weapons should not be carried is simply irrational.
Your contention that large bore short barreled weapons, - along with automatic weapons, - are somehow more 'dangerous' than ordinary handguns is misinformed Brady bunch hype.

Mojave, - here's another majority rule/anti-gun acolyte for your little group.

He is naive and has to accept the fact that there is no diplomatic solution to this problem. You cannot make deals with madmen, you wipe them out.

Brownback is making sense.
Though he tends to fixate on life
