I was talking about Pat. Not Forbes. You guys really are too much.
If you want to know the honest truth, I wouldn't touch you with gcruse's ten foot pole and blame it on your hubby. To do otherwise would risk polluting my offspring's DNA.
Not for anything, but despite your paranoia, gcruse and I have no connection outside this forum except for saying the same things we've been saying for nearly 5 years, long before you ever showed up. Although he would make a most excellent mini-me.
I could care less about what you say or think, but could you do other freepers the courtesy of pinging them when you decide to rant about them behind their back?
PA has no territory. They need to get a life and move to the Sahara. All the land to the Tigres and Euphates Rivers belongs to Israel. Whether the Euroweenies know it or not, they are doing the devil's work due to their ignorance. A thought occured to me: They (Euroweenies) don't want the Israelis controlling the oil supply, even though the Israelis would do a better job of extracting it (IMO).
That's right, I was talking about Forbes, and you are dodging the question, or missing the point. See if you can stick with me for a few seconds. You seem to be saying that Pat is a loser because he lost the republican nomination, and also the presidency. That is, he lost the run for president twice. There are numerous examples of people losing more than once. Some of them still end up winning in the end. In fact, it is actually not the norm to win the first or second time you run, and that does not even count trying to just win the nomination of your party. So, I am trying to see if you just hate Pat, or if you think anyone who loses twice is a loser. Are you still with me? Steve Forbes is one of many throughout history who have failed twice to win the presidency, so, do you think he is a loser too, or do you just hate Pat? Either answer is OK, even though I suspect the latter, I'm just curious.
BTW, who is you guys? I thought I was mostly alone here, like 1% or less.
Too bad you didn't read "A Republic, Not An Empire" more recently where he called Hitler a thug. Same word he uses for Saddam, BTW.
LOL, change the first period to a comma, and you would have contradicted yourself all in one sentence.
But their deification grates me.
It is not a matter of diefication. They got most of it right, and we are just unlearning what they taught us so that we can all go and learn the same lessons again as if they never existed. That is political de-evolution in my book. I'd rather see us build on what they did instead of tearing it down only to suffer through the same problems in order to relearn things we already knew.
Well that is certainly good news, since I was under the impression that we were harboring them here.
That would be perfect if we could continue the cycle. First we make buddies with Saddam and help him out only to find out he is the bad guy. Next we wipe him out and put the Kurds in charge. Later we will find out they are the bad guys and we will have to kill them and put another corrupt bunch of 3rd worlders in charge. When are we going to stop this idiocy? Don't get me wrong, this kind of stuff is fun when playing Civilization or RISK, but this is real life, not a game.
Some portion of 270 if you believe the thread count. That would include you, and our friends at IBD who wrote the article. And don't forget the <1% too. It's kind of funny how Buchanan threads regularly pull in 200+ posts despite being so insignificant. Perhaps you could cut that in half by getting yourself and your compatriots to stop posting the usual 'insignificant', 'wacko', and 'hates Jews' diatribes.
He rants. He raves. He's, at times, entertaining. Since the Nixon White House (and I'd argue that he wasn't much use there, even) he hasn't done anything of consequence. He's a joke. A charicature of a politician and a hack journalist. A genuine throwback to an era of "machine" politicians. He ran for president the same way Quixote tilted at windmills. Blindly and to validate himself. A mere gadfly, he is. The George Stuffituphisass of the right wing.
BTW, who is you guys? I thought I was mostly alone here, like 1% or less.
But you are a vocal lot, eh?
You couldn't tell that from how some of the people around here talk.
Pray tell how he would accomplish this Herculean task. He talks the talk. However, the difference between amateurs and professionals is that amateurs talk strategy, and professionals talk logistics. And the logistics of securing the borders of the United States would make it extremely difficult to walk the walk.
Darn those tax cuts. So the federal government gets about $1200 less of my money this year because W, and not Pat, is President. Boo-Hoo. Pat is many things; CONSERVATIVE is not one of them.
Cutting taxes is not conservative, cutting the size of government is. Bush may even be surpassing Clinton in that regard.
That is the excuse from the Blame America First crowd, it is not the real reason, however I do understand how some come to that view by watching snippets of statements on the lamestream news without delving into all the aspects of the declared "jihad" aka "holy war". The official spokesman for the Al-Qaeda organization, Suliman Abu Rith has stated that this is a "struggle between Good and Evil" because "U.S. policy is biased towards Jews and Christians across the world".
While Bin Laden does mention occupation, he stated in a 1998 interview that "Surely, their presence is not out of concern over their interests in the region. ... Their presence has no meaning save one and that is to offer support to the Jews in Palestine who are in need of their Christian brothers to achieve full control over the Arab Peninsula which they intend to make an important part of the so called Greater Israel."
So it is not our occupation they are fighting against, but rather our support of Israel as God's chosen nation based on our beliefs in the Bible. They feel they must drive Israel into the sea, not merely because of the land at stake...but because their hatred is rooted in their concept that Judaism and/or Christianity is evil and they wish it purged from their midst, because they feel their religion is the one and only true religion.
LOL! Right on Pat!
Rodney King is a thug. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin were mass murderers.
