You are not above the fray. You either join the fray, or you oppose it. If you oppose it, be a man and live with your decision. That's American. Freeper Sneakypete opposes this campaign ... but he doesn't say it's not his business. That's valorous, and he's a great American.

Ron Paul is a liar and coward. If you construct a societal place that renders you bigger than the American tribe ... you are a liar and a coward too.

My bro called me today to chat about his pal - best man at his wedding - who was vaporized calling on Marsh & MacLennan in the WTC that terrible day. Never found. There's two little girls who'll never hug daddy again, and a wonderful woman who's life has been devestated. Today would have been his 40th birthday. This is real life bozo, you are an American, if you position yourself as above the American group ... stay out of my f****ng way. Sneakypete's a man, so's Mertz and AAA and Doughty and others. They distrust Bush and his agenda. That's a stand. You are not operating on a plane above American war and peace calculations. Pull your load slackass, pro or con. Or slink away. Your soapbox is gone.

What are you talking about??

Ron Paul is a liar

Exactly what has Ron Paul lied about? Please be specific.

and coward

The man is single handedly standing up to extremely strong and well entrenched political forces in defense of our republic. Ruthless forces that have access to and no qualms about using devious and underhanded means to get their way. Good people have died for far less. If I were him, I'd wonder if one day I'd end up missing or dead of the Arkansas flu, or at the very least a rubber glove examination from the IRS. And you think that's cowardice?

If you construct a societal place that renders you bigger than the American tribe ... you are a liar and a coward too.

'Societal place'? What on Earth are you talking about?

My bro called me today to chat about his pal - best man at his wedding - who was vaporized calling on Marsh & MacLennan in the WTC that terrible day.

While I am very sympathetic to his loss and sincerely hope all involved are found and punished, I don't know how this is relevant here. Are you suggesting Ron Paul or I are indifferent to the 9/11 attacks? Did you even read the article?

They distrust Bush and his agenda. That's a stand.

In this thread you are presented with a lengthy, logical and in depth analysis of why our current agenda is wrong. Hint: that's called 'a stand'.

Any thoughts yet on an actual issue to discuss?

Then I count myself in good company. Add me to your list of those whom distrust Bush.
