Moore: You made a big mistake, America

thoroughly indoctrinated dangerous little brats. Guilt ridden liberals.

[William Tell]

The KG9 Kid said: KG9: "You've", Miss Ivy League. Not 'You'.

Well,... let's see what we have here.

"You made a mistake" is a statement of a past action, so the verb form used is the past tense.

"You've made a mistake" (or without the contraction, "You have made a mistake" ) is a statement of the present state of having perfected some action in the past, so the verb form is present perfect.

It's my opinion that either form is correct and that the two forms have nearly, but not quite, identical meanings.

The tactics they use on us we should use on them! If you know anything about Washington and his men it is self explanitory in that short paragraph. Do yourself a favor, pick up a book or two on Washington and the fight for freedom, you will be amazed at what you read, I guarentee it. Nothing like it was taught in school. 1776 by David Mcullough comes to mind, get back to basics, know whats worth fighting for, know whats at stake, know what a blessing it is to live in a country like this. DO IT! NOW!

Ronaldus Magnus would have hired this girl as a speechwriter in a heartbeat.

[andy58-in-nh]

I guess she take its meaning to heart.

I guess she does, and with God's grace I expect she will succeed.

Ask not for who the bell tolls, it tolls for he.

[Pharmboy]

Unfortunately, you are likely correct. But the school’s not in NORTHERN VA, so we have a chance to hold out a bit longer...

four years of this might even beat the last 8 of the ‘smirking chimp’ and ‘failed bush administration’ talk.

Chimpy BusHitler gives way to Chimpy ObamLenin?

BTW - I wonder what the Lefty website "The Smirking Chimp" is going to do under an Obama administration? They gonna sell to right-wingers, or just shut down because of a politically incorrect name? ;-)

[do the dhue]

Those that had the most to lose, did the least to prevent it from happening.

[LowCountryJoe]

You passed over the greatness of a man who stared death in its sallow face for over 2,000 days, in the wake of torture by the enemy as motivated by pure, unadulterated evil, for a man in favor of the promotion of the very same evil. You neglected the fortitude of a man brave enough to better himself in the name of service to his country. You obliterated the necessity of a man with a heart understanding of sacrifice, hard work, and perseverance...

McCain, while not as bad as the far-Left Democrat Obama, was no model candiate nor did he exude greatness. The only thing I admired McCain for was his stances on spending, trade, and immigration. But the campaign finance reform bill, his stance on environmental issues, and his talk of greed by market participants was very off-putting. His military service (and his history as a POW) was irrelevent for me.

“... the school’s not in NORTHERN VA...”

but you wanna guess where the students are FROM?

[the OlLine Rebel]

That stumbled me too. Although I don’t know who “invented” penicillin, Flemming certainly discovered it. He did not “innovate” it, though. I don’t recall what made it into a viable medicine at least in war time.

[XR7]

Stuned beeber...

LOL
Thanks.
I needed that today.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Give me a break. I’d like to see those !#@$!#@$ say those things to her face. She’d probably out-wit and out-last any of them. I love her apparent temper and forcefulness.

[XR7]

His military service (and his history as a POW) was irrelevent for me.

Irrelevant?
Not for most FReepers I would guess, including me.

[the OlLine Rebel]

And I bet she doesn’t even go...”uh, uh, uh-uh-uh, uh...”!

[bvw]

A stirring reminder. Also she makes a passing association to the French Revolution — the Reign of Terror. Many community organizers in those bloody days.
