Americans pushed so hard to get the British from maintaining a "presence" (standing armies) on their sovereign territory, post-Revolution, that it's just wrong to impose such a thing on other countries (unless the real goal is to subtly push the notion that "do what we say, or we will effect regime change"). What if the British had maintained a "presence" here after the War of 1812, or various European powers actually interfered (by sending standing armies) with our Civil War?
Tranlation: We are occupying Iraq. Right out of the talking points. Not very clever.
Believe it or not, but sometimes, I do have other things to do, and I passed on the Saddleback extravaganza.
This statement completely eliminates any opinion you might have on McCain since he explained his Conservative credentials completely. You have no credence period. How many Conservatives/Freepers missed that? You saw it but your guy got smoked. Go online or something, your not informed, period. Nice snide remark though.
Legally, the individual is recognized at birth. "Life" (the individual) biologically begins at conception, but the exact date and time is hard to track for legal purposes.
Sure its not above your paygrade? That is right out of the too cute by half playbook. Hard to say legally? Is that what I axed, no. You are really digging a hole w/your Roe v Wade answer.
All sorts of nasty things. But, I wouldn't know exactly, since I am not a woman.
Let me help you even though I am not a women either. Massively increases depression, drug/alcohol abuse, suicide, inability to form relations with future children, massive guilt and those are the good things. Your snide remark was much acknowledged. Course planned parenthood likely didn't explain those things to you so you make a joke.
Yes. But that was still her decision to make.
Translation: It was her "Choice". Nice to see your pro-choice.
Oh, and let me ask you this: John Kerry also served in Vietnam. By your logic, we also must show him the same respect and not question him at all, lest we be hypocrites.
The majority of folks in the armed forces are good, honest Americans...but, like the rest of our nation, not everyone in there is that way.
You make it too easy. Kerry was a phony and the people who knew said he was. He got all those medals in 3 mos, while John sat in a prison for 5 years. No comparison.
Some of our military people are not good, honest Americans?? Excuse me, who made you God? Your hatred just slipped through. Translation: Tools of the military industrial complex, but lets move on.
The simple existence of our armed forces scares the crap out of most potential enemies around the world and allows the rest of us to sleep soundly at night, go to school, and commute to work.
That is what liberals think. No, the reason they fear us is because they think we are going to destroy their defenses and remove their dictators by putting boots on the ground like President Bush did. You do agree with what President Bush did, right?
How anyone could think your anything other than a kneejerk lib, heavy on the jerk is a mystery.It is not only your answers that give you away but your pompus attitude to such "simpleton" questions that all you intellectual libs posses.
Ass for your immigration bait, not taking it since it isn't as devisive as you'd like. Now run back to the DNC and let them know how you tricked us. Nothing personal, but we've seen better.
Pray for W, Maverick/Palin and Our Troops
No, our armed forces are just chillin' in Iraq on vacation on the taxpayer dime. /sarc

McCain's actions speak louder than McCain's words.
Sure its not above your paygrade? That is right out of the too cute by half playbook. Hard to say legally?
It's hard to say legally when an individual was conceived by his or her parents, for legal purposes, without tracking when that individual's parents were having sex or otherwise biologically "making" the individual.
It was her "Choice". Nice to see your pro-choice.
I didn't say that it was her choice to not abort the baby. I said it was her choice to keep (including not put up for adoption) the baby, in accordance with your words.
Some of our military people are not good, honest Americans?? Excuse me, who made you God? Your hatred just slipped through.
So basically you're saying that every single member of the U.S. armed forces is a perfect moral angel all the time? Give me a break.
That is what liberals think. No, the reason they fear us is because they think we are going to destroy their defenses and remove their dictators by putting boots on the ground like President Bush did.
Yes, let's put our boots on the necks of other countries, because yea, the U.S. is an empire now and not a republic, just like FR is transitioning from a conservative forum to a mouthpiece of the RNC's propaganda wing.
It's laughable how the new "conservative" (this includes those who consider themselves as "compassionate conservatives") wing of the GOP believes that limited Government and the ideals of the Founders (no standing armies, direct taxes only, no central banking, no "entangling alliances", self-sufficiency, individual rights, leave other countries alone, and so forth) are antiquated and outdated and even..."liberal."
The Bush-Country Club wing of the Republican Party has done just as much to damage the future and the posterity of this Republic as any of the openly Socialist members of the Democrat Party. And neither one refuses to admit its malicious errors.
