Kind of a sad sight.
Do a little research and check out my Alabama buddy who just took over running the NYT.
CNN gets Paula Zahn and the NYT gets a Southerner to lead it back into respectability.
These times, they are a changing...
Shall I start listing threads to get that foot in your mouth AGAIN? Because we don't side with every person or group that opposes our government does not justify the statement you made. You are the extremist.
Just as Koresh perverted Christianity, just as Usama perverts the teachings of Islam, you pervert conservatism. I'm not saying you are anywhere near as bad as those two, but you do take an extreme.
You've played this silly game before. Put up or shut up.
In fact, you all seem to think this crisis is just another opportunity to play more silly political grab ass games. You drip with pious patriotic fervor as you rake your FR foes over the coals of political correctness - cultural jihad version.
Really weird behavior, considering your avowed 'patriotic' purpose to unify our resolve.
here are two from the past 2 days. I don't need to post more because, you said ANYTHING.
Senate OK's FBI Net Spying (Goodbye 4th Amendment) Particularly post #96
Ron Paul Introduces Aviation Safety Legislation
Again, you are an EXTREMIST. We morn our dead, you look for how to place blame on our government. We ready for WAR, you look for how to blame the goverment.
You call me an extremist with no proof.
--- The evidence of government bumbling of foreign relations lies all about us, & you blame those who comment about it, who search for reasons, so that we can avoid 9/11's in the future.
We can both prepare for war AND discuss the causes of 9/11 simultainously. --- You and the jihadi are merely attempting to silence your political foes.
This thread is too long, and the subject has been beat to death. I suggest we agree to disagree, - and stop the flag waving name calling.
We may disagree with Democrats and others, but we are all Americans.
who search for reasons
Tpaine, something I hope you have learned in your life is that the RIGHT thing to do, is usually going to be the hardest and most difficult. Sure, we could ignore all other nations, and be a wuss like the swiss. Sure we could turn our heads from injustice, as long as it is not on our land. But is it the RIGHT thing to do. NO, it is the easiest.
So the reason why people do this to us, is because we stand up for what is RIGHT, and JUST. They despise our morality. We are Jew lovers to them. And to them, that is an insult. They wish the death of all Jews and they want nothing less than ALL of Jerusalem.
They also cannot stand that we keep Saddam in check. Yes we should have killed him years ago, and that was a government blunder that I profess to this day. But still that does not give Saddam the right to build weapons when HE lost the WAR. He forced us to kill people in order to keep him from massing a dangerous arsenal. Just as the terrorists would have forced the military to shoot down innocent passengers if they had had a bird in the air next to the WTC.
Tpaine, do not dare excuse these monster's behavior, and do not dare blame our nation. We are in the RIGHT. And they are soon to be in the DEAD.
So you do not blame our foreign policy for the attack?
A much-deserved BUMP for three patriots who, unlike many of their fellow FReepers, understand that "patriotism" and "nationalism" are two different things. What we have been seeing here on FR is the latter. If "patriotism" is defined as blind, unquestioning loyalty to one's nation, then the Nazis should stand as the epitome of what patriots should be. However, blind, unquestioning loyalty is descriptive of "nationalism." A true patriot understands, regardless of the circumstances, that supporting the constitutional principles of our forefathers comes first. Government leaders can and should be scrutinized during times of crisis as well as during times of peace-- perhaps even more so. It is during times of crisis that the government is more apt to strip us of our liberty.
It is only the practitioners of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED, led by the NYT and the Washington Post, that fueled otherwise!
