Cheers junior........
I guess you seem to be incapable of grasphing a simple truth here. "Go back and read..."
Since when have I ever given you any cause to think that I care about your opinion, much less that I would do something you wanted me to?
I hate to break this to you sparky, but you're about as high on my priority list as a cat's hairball. Well, to be truthful, I would put a higher priority on the hairball...they actually have some substance.
So why don't you go back and read #whatever and mutter to yourself some more...I'm sure it will make you feel soooooo bad.
I know that I won't convince you to even think about it. You obviously already know everything and look down on others who don't, and I've read enough of your posts to understand that you won't be moved from your entrenched position by something as insignificant as a fact.....
Let's deal first with the AIDS policy. It is modeled after a policy in Uganda (ABC), which stresses morality as the primary solution to the problem of AIDS. The A being taught is ABSTINENCE, and the B is BE FAITHFUL. The AIDS epidemic in that country has been cut back dramatically because of the teaching of moral behavior.
You may disagree with spending the money on it (as most conservatives do), but to call it 'immoral' is not accurate.
And then there's your assertion that this 'apology' means the President is weak on defense. It flies in the face of the facts of the past 3 years, and reveals only that you are reacting viscerally, and not thoughtfully.......because if you put any thought into what you said, you simply would not have said it. It is not a reasoned position, and therefore is inaccurate. The President is strongly pro-military, pro American sovereignty abroad, and fighting a fight against an evil enemy that few would have the courage to fight.
As a matter of fact, there is absolutely no point in my continuing a discussion with someone whose views are so far askew from reality that he doesn't believe that President Bush is a moral leader (and apparently chooses to ignore his pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-personal responsibility positions)...........or believes that an apology for abhorrent, illegal behavior on the part of a handful of our troops means in any way that he is not strong on defense.
I might as well be arguing with Ted Kennedy.........he thinks the President is a liar, and bad on defense too (just for the opposite reason). You two ought to talk some time. You agree with HIM more than you agree with me.
At any rate, it's as much a waste of time for me to try to discuss the President's policies with you as it would be with the Swimmer, and I try not to throw away my time.........it's too precious.
My final suggestion to you, Mortimer.........try reading the Bible and spend some time in prayer yourself, and find a church where the love of God can be revealed to you through the people who worship there. Your bad experiences in the past have darkened your view of truth, and blocked you from seeing the light of the Savior who died for you, and loves you.
Be well, Mortimer.
Video on Islamic militant Web site appears to show beheading of American
Did the President's
conciliatory talk
(and apology)
succeed at "putting
this behind him?" Or was it
interpretted by
the Muslim mindset
as American weakness?
Guess we all know. Now.
