Its wonderful news. Its time to do away with the USA once and for all. The chess champion said that at first he didnt believe that it really happened, that all the crimes America had committed all over the world returned to haunt it. He said: I applaud the terrorist act. The USA and Israel have been killing Palestinians for many years. Now they get what they deserve. Therefore, it is no wonder that the FBI has always kept an eye on the Fishers. http://english.pravda.ru/main/2002/11/18/39617.html

Yep...Lib'ralism's DEAD!!
FReegards...MUD
Mudwrestling in a pool of hog's fecal matter??
Well, alright then.
Have a good time now, y'hear?
...just take a bath when you're finished, OK? ;^)
Introduce them to Rush Limbaugh, Learning is a Lifetime Pursuit...MUD
See, each of these guys was a man of means, with lots to lose...yet their courage and faith enabled them to put it all on the line for the cause they believed inour beloved Country!
Their tune was freedom and liberty, not 'country'. Let's include the whole paragraph, please: We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Bin Laden's a psychotic misanthrope and a wild-eyed whacko. A worthless, execrable excuse for a human being. Why should we worry about understanding him? All we need to do is utterly defeat him!
I concur he's a psychotic misanthrope, but I do not agree that there is no reason to understand his motivations, lest we forever be beset by 'psychotic misanthropes'. He is attacking the U.S. because the U.S. is annually purchasing Jimmy Carter's Nobel prize by funnelling American tax dollars in the form of military equipment to Israel and Egypt. He is attacking the U.S. because our troops occupy his homeland. If you saw foreign troops propping up a corrupt dictatorship in our home, wouldn't you oppose them? What is your basis for supporting the decision of U.S. politicians to involve America in centuries old disputes that do not involve us? Where would you have get in wars next? Africa?
FReegards...MUD
Roger THAT! Let's play cowboys and liberals! Then, let's move on to cowboys and muslims. Just in time; I was getting tired of scrabble!
Yes the nation's of the Middle East do have designs upon this Republic they just do not have the material nor the human capital to do so . Instead they take little shots at us by proxy .
The reference you made to Stalin could be tied into the current ME dictators considering the religion that is promoted now is godless as is communism .
Lastly I am not in attack mode here with you . I simply told you how you came across to me in your reply .
Your consternation in your inability to "control" people's personal viewing choices is interesting. Is it freedom when "the herd" is "controlled" and forced to follow your preferred viewing habits?
There's often a lack of appreciation for freedom on Free Republic
Sodom's InternalPanicClock Must Be Tickin'...MUD
Well, after the U.S. ditched Bin Laden as a proxy in the Cold War, who picked him up? Do you think he's working for Hussien, his own religious views, or someone else?
Give this article a gander, and note the date: Osama bin Laden: The thorn in Pakistan's flesh
Which nation did Reagan invade to win the Cold War?
Several conflicts come to mind that were part of the overall strategy. Grenada (direct intervention), Nicaragua (indirect formation and support), Afghanistan (indirect formation and support), Angola (indirect formation and support). In each of the latter three you can be sure we had personnel on the ground at risk too...
Dates can be revealing indeed . Some would say that Sirhan Sirhan was 1 of the 1st to jihad against the Republic .
That's my aspiration as well. Good luck defending that idea against the Freepers trying to build walls on our borders
And when it comes to those oppressors threatening us directly or our allies, then justice demands that we take a stand. It's how President Monroe took charge of the Western Hemisphere as a de facto protectorate ("Hands off, Euro colonialists. Your party's over!") and it's how our other great foreign-policy presidents (Andy Jackson, TR and Reagan come to mind) have operated.
Very interesting that you cite Monroe. Are you familiar with his Secretary of State, the author of the Monroe Doctrine? He spoke toward your ambitions very explicitly:
John Quincy Adams's
Warning Against the Search for "Monsters to Destroy," 1821
"And now, friends and countrymen, if the wise and learned philosophers of the elder world, the first observers of nutation and aberration, the discoverers of maddening ether and invisible planets, the inventors of Congreve rockets and Shrapnel shells, should find their hearts disposed to enquire what has America done for the benefit of mankind? Let our answer be this: America, with the same voice which spoke herself into existence as a nation, proclaimed to mankind the inextinguishable rights of human nature, and the only lawful foundations of government. America, in the assembly of nations, since her admission among them, has invariably, though often fruitlessly, held forth to them the hand of honest friendship, of equal freedom, of generous reciprocity. She has uniformly spoken among them, though often to heedless and often to disdainful ears, the language of equal liberty, of equal justice, and of equal rights. She has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart. She has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama the European world, will be contests of inveterate power, and emerging right. Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force.... She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit....
[America's] glory is not dominion, but liberty. Her march is the march of the mind. She has a spear and a shield: but the motto upon her shield is, Freedom, Independence, Peace. This has been her Declaration: this has been, as far as her necessary intercourse with the rest of mankind would permit, her practice."
Israel is a worthy and decent little ally. Notice they're the only two-party democracy (hell, the only democracy, period!) in that part of the world? Our interests are clearly served in aiding and protecting Israel from the Philistine barbarians around her.
Israel also has the strongest military in the region in addition to nuclear weapons. She doesn't need the U.S. taxpayer to protect her. It has been the U.S. politicians restraining Israel. If you recall Reagan's administration joined the world in condemning them for their raid on Osirak...
As for Isreal I think that is just alot of public postering going on . I believe away from the camera there are some very interesting thing's being spoken .
Exclamatory remarks like Mud's made are a manifestation of his confidence, pride, & admiration of those in our Armed Forces who are now, or will be, fighting to defend the priciples of honor, freedom, & liberty.
I've a great-nephew in the Marine Corps & I'm certain he'd prefer the company of someone like Mud at a barstool beside him than one with a Carteresque mindset.
