The “ban all religions..’ argument is a liberal one, based on the notion of equality. It is the basis of communism. I never stated anything about a ban, and you know it. We have the right to practice religion. But we also have the right to protect ourselves against people who would do us harm in the name of their religion. Your agnosticism fuels the anti-religion views.
Having a base in a host country at their request is not nation building. Do you think we are building South Korea, Germany, Japan, etc?
You still didn’t give me your social security, birthdate, full name, bank account number and pin. If Bradly did, would you still call him a hero? There are things that are need-to-know basis. Not everyone needs to know everything. BTW, tell me who lied to use forces in war, or was that hypothetical?
If you are calling me a liberal, then you couldn’t be farther from the truth. The Republicans are fighting for a full year of unemployment benefits rather than the 2 months the Dems want, they have 22 jobs bills in the House, etc. As for contracts, don’t you keep your word?
Nobody’s a hero, just an actor on a stage in the scheme of life, some people can be brought to the water to drink of the truth others simply will run away screaming like a crazy Muslim if given something they don't like to hear about. Your reluctance to understand why the data was released fuels your anger at him.
Getting back to banning things....if you think it's liberal to ban them then only the religions you prefer will get any traction and thus all others subject to your censorship, banning and eradicating, so either you drop all these band-aids or you pick one and ban the rest to promote your religion, otherwise they will compete against your religion, either you win and the rest lose, or we all win by not playing this game in the first place, people die everyday just to play this absurd game, it seems rather useless and pointless to me.
All that private information about me can be bought and sold very easily are you kidding? All I need would be your name and the rest can be found, we have no privacy, hence why I support someone such as Paul cause at the least bare minimum he seems pretty aware of this reality. Most people seem to have their heads in the clouds in terms of privacy. If you don't recall all the private names and details were redacted in the Wikileaks dumps.
Well, as public record shows no WMD’s were ever found in Iraq, they were either long disposed of or destroyed before we probably even invaded for our second tour of a DESERT surrounded by oilfields. I would like some answers wouldn't you?
We already did nation building, WW2 was fought(since you brought up japan and Germany) with the hopes to wipe out Europe and rebuild a more socialist utopia from scratch, wouldn't surprise me if that's in store for the USA as well.These wars and battles are very cynical moves and theater that seem more about stroking of egos than anything else, boomers were not the “greatest generation” so they have to invade every two-bit dictator they can find with resources they can find and basically run around with puffed out chest basically chanting “me too, me too, I can be like the great gen too!”. It looks rather weak to me, wars really happen between equals, we have just been in the business of overthrowing resource rich places to take their stuff while they take decades to recover from the events. While doing this overthrowing we have basically lost control of our financial system to such an extent that both parties are out of control looting the public at every chance they can get as if they know the trains gonna go off the tracks in the near future, maybe not but it sure seems to explain their behavior, with inner city collapse underway already, eventually that will spread along with the entitlement mentality as well, cause both sides go along with it for their preferred largess.
As for unemployment benefits I really have not been keeping track of this since I have not ever taken any of these despite not being a major part of the workforce for many years. None of these people plan and prepare so yes they fail and want all of us to bail them out, I really could care less, I don't want unemployment benefits I just prefer to be left alone thank you. You know prior to Hitler's takeover in Europe there were many private non-profit charities that basically closed up operation as a result of him promising to take care of everyone, he ruined what people already choose to do for themselves and took that dignity away from them, so much of what both parties have done over the past several years amounts to that, taking our dignity away from us and supplying their propaganda in replace of our self.
