Free Republic

IPC ideology has blinded them from seeing their own contradictions.

Remember "Meet the Fockers"...same idea.

Walter and Rosie should share notes.

"""Many Americans consider it the ultimate test of a free society to permit the insult or even desecration of one of the great symbols of the nation.""

Biting the hand that feeds you??? Idiots....burn commie chinese, vietnamese, laos and cuba flags...that burn and torture people that speak their minds.... Dumb MTV dopes.

awesome....good for the VP.

The perp will think twice now.

huh, remove for what.... You must be joking.

If you are serious...

You will need to remove the folks at the Chicago tribune not the person who copied it from a newspaper....

Sadly the Muslim community has not stepped up to the plate as did the Japanese Americans during WWII. Japanese enlisted, died, awarded medals etc....true patriots.
They didn't throw grenades into their fellow soldiers tent while they slept.

Decent Arabs must stand up to these hardline terrorist...or they will be lumped in together due to their silence. No excuses...this is war.

There is tons of water in their front yard (Ocean). :)

Thanks, Missouri folks. Didn't realize that.

Can't we figure that moving water to a place that didn't have water will miss up other areas. Look at the Owens lake and Mono lake problems, with LA stealing all of their water.

I think some people are living in a dream. These pre-columbian dreams are just "romantisizing" a time period that can never be again. Environmentally concerned folks have to be realistic, humans will never go away. $$$ concerned folks have to realize that $$$ is not all there is. Selling our national treasures/life lines for $$$= more water, more food, more houses/ more $$ is not moral.

Beavers don't destroy whole valleys the size of Hetch Hetchy..... and all the other animals and plants. In 5-10 years man can destroy Yosemite Valley and turn it into a big lump of cement like LA, but a beaver can never do anything in that scale.


How much more money is needed to restore the vegetation etc....?

How many dams and canals are in Missouri? I live in Cali...

Does Missouri need irrigations for their farms.

No, because Shawn won't show it when I am around to watch his show...sucks..

Rosie...sounds like a temper tantrum. Some big baby needs her spanky and a bottle. (imagine baby crying). Nihilistic problem....caring more for her own desire/comfort than consideration of the baby and mother...

too funny

I am aware in general that UN, libs and France have stated that Saddam had WMD in the late 90's and leading to the war in Iraq. It is irritating when libs yells...where is the WMD, there is no WMD,,Bush lied and peope died etc..... These libs and their leaders are all air heads and think that if they lie long enough it becomes true.... sadly it works on the libs (Demonrats).

To all of Feepers....(including myself)

We must recognize that God's creation is not accidentally created for our pleasure. We do have a moral responsibility to God and his creation, which includes us. To live in harmony is easy to talk about but to actually put into action is a headache...ex..ESA, spotted owl, etc... We must admit and understand that the value of a human being is not their usefulness...or what $ they can create.... The same understanding must be applied to Gods creation (Nature), be it on a different level..because plants and salamanders are not moral agents possible of recipricating morality. Stewardship... Gods law can only be interpreted and understood by moral agents....so stewardship was given to man because of the moral responsiblity that we are born with.."..created in the image of God." Law, (paraphrase) as St. Paul puts it, is the comdenmation of the sin that man performs. So stewardship is a commandmant/law from God to us because of our sinful nature...(e.g. murder, rape, pollution, destruction of habitats..etc...) that humans can commit against Nature.

What is God's stewarship commandment?? That, the moral communities will have to figure out...which many have and are on the way of teaching.

God would not need to have commanded Adam with stewardship if it was not a concern or problem with our sin nature. So at least we must deeply think how God wants us to interact with Nature. We as Christians (morally concerned folks) must not flippantly throw the baby out with the bath water. God will destroy the destroyers of the earth...(Revelation).

Politics ($$ interest lobbiest) on both sides of the aisle confuses and entrap through our greedy nature the votes of morally concern folks...i.e. Christians (84% of US). It does not have to be thought of as feed my family or logging. There is a moral way to deal with feeding ones family and logging/development/strip malls/dams etc. Feeding your family is morally important,,,but when/where does development/strip malls become a automatic moral part of feeding your family. Maybe the farmers/developers/LA have to back up a bit with taking all the water?? Maybe we should change our mentality and the laws will improve and our living condition and nature will be more harmonized. Instead of a us vs nature attitude.....

Peace...think about it..

OT...cases of wiping out the Ashmelik or Canaanites..etc... Was there a reason other than believing in a different god for the Isrealites to attack their cities? Would not human sacrifice be an adequate reason for God punishing these nations? What reason and was it justified for God to punish Isreal and Judah with invasion and slavery? Hmmmmm...

Yes, you are correct in your generality. The hmongs like were are the new immigrants and they will get their due share of stereotypes (Eating the neighborhood dogs/cat...sounds familiar), just like the Irish and Polish got their's.

Mature adults will know how to express their concerns (slow to speak, slow to shed blood and willing to listen) and little immature kids will always yell out flippant racial slurs and stereotypes. Racial tensions are always expected when different cultures/races congregate...the real leaders will tell all the kids to be good or be spanked.

I guess the Native Americans can sue your ancestors and England for killing them. Same logic...

Yes, I am hmong and proud of it. I am not proud of Chai Vang...no, I don't know who he is other than this case.

The media and the communities involved in this case, especially during the few months after it occurred, was trying to stir up more racial tension and stereotype. This is the same mentality that was portrayed by the media and public when Obama and Keyes was running for Senate in Illinois....ohhhh two black man going at each other..... Keyes....reply was....ohhh two white man run against each other all the time and what is so "special" about that & this.

Asian, Black, Hispanic and White folks kill whites, asians, blacks, hispanics etc..... so what so special. I don't think this case is the hmong version of KKK looking for white folks to kill. There is no conspiracy to take over the freekin White house or US by hmongs. This is only a sad case of racial/social/hunting tension that was incubated and birthed by irresponsible Chai Vang and his victim.

I am trying to say, "We don't need to hype up the race baiting anymore than Chai and his victims did?" We need to recognize it for what it was and build a better relationship.... We ain't going no where, since China and Laos is taken over by the commies. So cool it! I don't need to say all this crap...mature adults know how to treat it, but little kids will always spout off racial slurs and attacks.

hmong

huh, what do they disagree with me....?

They don't want these little political games that are using the military as pawns to stop.

Let the military do their job. Let the professionals on the ground make the split-second decisions of life and death and the monday quarter back politicians stop trying to PC this war.

Huh, I must have miscommunicated something. Of course I wish that he will be exonerated, which he was. As I remember the wife of the accuser helped exonerate the accused.

I have never been in the military, but I assume the military doesn't like to be second guessed when they have enemies shooting and trying to kill them. It is better to be alive and deal with the apologies, then dead and mourned for trying to be too PC.

thanks,
hmong

"..French-based Islamic militants, ...." Seems like a lot of these in France.... a dime a dozen??
