No, the isolationist argument could not be made post Wilson's mistake. We had to fix the error our actions helped to create in Germany (that was the humane thing to do). Of course blocking off the Japanese (who would have been a good ally) partially for actions in Asia was a bad move but hey FDR wasn't known for being that smart was he? Course I imagine like Bush you think FDR was a good President...I just can't wait to see what the Chinese will do if someone like Hunter gets to be President. Protectionist war with a nation we're up to our eyeballs in debt with (partially to pay for the police action)? Oh it will be interesting
Have you heard of 9/11?
Yeah, I hear Rudy's running for President of it as a matter of fact. Ever hear of cause and effect? Why don't you let us all know when your faux fury over 9/11 is going to run out and exactly what the world will look like after it does. Let me guess, Arabs throwing chocolates and flowers at the troops...You can't blame everyone outside of our borders for it. I mean I can't ever imagine why the Arabs would be upset...after all the partitioning of their region was carried out by outside forces beginning in 1916 and in the process putting disparate groups together that don't like each other. Oh wait that's some of that pre-1941 history...you can look it up.
Is there anything that can wake you and your Ron Paul ilk up?
Yes. Iraq woke quite a few of the Classical Liberal/Old Conservatives up. Remember 2006? Try hawking a candidate that wants to 'stay the course' in Iraq. The defeat in '06 will look tame. You won't have a snowball's chance of winning the election and it will be a landslide in the Electoral College. But please do carry on under the false assumption that the general public will support the police action indefinitely.
Absolutely correct.
By her posts I was thinking she was with ANSWER
Is that a special kind of Ron Paul creep?
Well, I am no Rudy fan, I hope Fred can topple Rudy.
I think the rest of the field including Paul have zero chance unless Rudy and Fred drop out.
No, but the funds find a way to them.
You get a clue.
ANSWER is very creepy. Protesting is just their way of saying “mommy I’m scared”, “If we make nice will they quit trying to cut our heads off”
Like I said, you fail reading comprehension.

I don’t like Rudy anyway, but pray we get Fred, cause no one else will win over Rudy IMO.
Awww, name calling. I didn't know you cared. I also note you didn't address a damn thing I mentioned. Why? Because when it comes to the historical perspective of why the world is the way it is and why it will continue on the path it has, you simply don't grasp it. Perhaps you can't. Perhaps because it takes more than talking points from Fox News and Sean Hannity to realize the situation in the Middle East has been on for oh about 4000 years?
I don't know what Arabs want and frankly I don't care. If they want self government they can grasp it. Just as we did in the West after 500 years or so (oops I gave you the answer to the question in the next paragraph...). Course the last time a nation tried self determination in the Middle East without proper 'approval' from the West, it was smacked down. Matter of fact that happens almost every time doesn't it? You'll have the form of 'self government' we want you to have by God and you'll like it.
Self-goverment is not a uniquely Anglo phenomena, is it?
No it is not. Why don't you enlighten us to how long it took self government to take hold in the West....
I also sense an unhealthy dose of Liberal historical understanding of the Middle East
Translated, I have no earthly idea of what billbears is talking about, since I haven't actually studied history, so by definition it must be liberal....what you sense is actually the ability to think for oneself and not parrot talking points from the RNC. You're right that probably is foreign to you....
We'll have to agree to disagree then, elhombrelibre.
If you are able to get me edit abilities at this site, give me a ping. I will gladly reorganize the posts.

I was willing to stay and asked my Company Commander if I could do so, but the extent of the damage to my left eye was too much of a risk.
Still, I had fun being in the Navy, your smarmy post aside.
You a veteran?
Not pretty!
Freeper Liz has pics of that.
It was FReeper George W. Bush who posted pictures and stuff earlier to me with my thanks.
