A recent New York Times poll stated that 42% of Americans believed that Iraq was responsible for 9/11.

My you've been a busy bee this morn. It's only going to get worse when the stuff hits the fan.

Oh, Skippy, Skippy, Skippy....you forgot to take your medication this morning again, didn't you?

Somehow, these clowns have not figured out that while they have to jump through some hoops to sign back up, it only takes us one click to be rid of them. Somehow they think a few minutes of their own time is worth spending on a second of ours. The exchange rate is not flattering to them (but still probably overvalues them).

I have a similar system for the sites I've developed. I use a binary suspend field (0 or 1) - when someone signs up, they're assigned a 0. However, I can quickly bring the person up on a special admin screen to flip it to 1, which the post/reply screen looks at before allowing the person to proceed.

In addition, a subroutine of the suspend process drops their email address into a banned list (so they can't re-register under a different name with the same confirm email address), as well as scrambling their existing password. That way, noone can re-use the user ID, and the existing user ID can't login without the new (30 digit) password.

we absolutely must forget that President Ronald Reagan dispatched a special envoy to meet Saddam Hussein in December 1983.

While many FReepers like to critisize liberals for lacking a mean IQ, this post demonstrates that many times they are capable of stringing a fact pattern together. That being said, there is a certain point where one's approach towards these facts determines whether they are conservative or liberal.

The liberal cites these facts as a damning indictment of Amercica. The conservative realizes that certain decisions are made at certain times to advance US interests. However, the one thing libs don't seem to realize is that conservatives are willing to admit that situations have changed, and two, are willing to recify them.

I posit that the majority of FReepers where libs or toyed with lib ideas when they were younger. Blaming some deep conspiracy is simply an extension of one's life up until that point: parents, teachers, school admins, etc. It's only after you get a little older, oftentimes when you are now one of those 'authority' figures, that you discover it's all very much like Oz: there's no one behind the curtain.

Humans stumble from one situation to another - no one is really in control. It's a testament to our system that we have the checks & balances in place to help preserve our basic liberties. This is why, at it's foundation, libs live in a fantasy world: there entire wordview is based on a fallacy, that is, that someone or something is in ultimate control.

I have just one simple question that not one Asshole liberal I have asked can answer "WHY DIDNT WE TAKE THE OIL IN THE FIRST GULF WAR"?

My question is:

"If it's really about oil, why don't we just drill ANWR?"

Never gotten an answer, and it really pisses off the greenie weenies...

So you're saying that we inflicted terror throughout the world in the years leading up to 9/11...in the nineties.

Please outline what terror bill clinton perpetrated upon the world and where.

"And if I had more watermelons, I could make even more money, couldn't I???"

So are you then advocating snatching the third world farmer's melons before he can dump them on the market?
