Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

It should be the Obama/Hillary ticket.
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Fxashun, I am replying to your quote late, due to the
fact that I was banned 24 hours for defending myself.
However whenever I post a comment (have you ever
noticed) that there is one or more complainers?

I don't care if I write in Chinese my posts is still
understanding by those who can read. However to
make negative comments due to the fact that a person
totally dis-agree with the comment is childish.

My grandma use to always say....people who is always
critizing others usually are the ones who seem to always
complain. My professional status has nothing to do with
how I react towards or think about someone,and if that
was the case everyone on Defending the Truth would
be banned for counter attacking. Fxashun, reading
comprehesive and understanding will allow those who
can't read to learn to read.

Of course you also gave Saddam and the Iraqis every reason to trust and love the US when you went ahead and sold the same weaponry to Iran.

I have always found it tragicomic that the two most hated nations in the "axis of evil" were perfectly acceptable to deal with when there was a chance to make a profit. Never mind the fact that it made the war bloodier and last longer than it might have otherwise.

Alright now, to be honest, I had a bit of trouble with that one. But I think I got your drift.

You are correct; Hkbajwa. I wrote in another post in a different thread about how the US will always deal with any government- no matter whom, as long as it is in our financial interest to do so. It is our credibility that is certainly in question here.Can anybody here tell me that we would have even invaded Iraq in Desert Storm if gasoline was $1.50 a gallon? I doubt it. I mentioned the government of Ferdinand Marcos of the Phillipines. Nobody except maybe the Romanovs of he early 1900's in Russia bled the lifeblood of their people more. What did we do to stop Marcos? Nothing. Why? Because he always had guaranteed the US the two Major miltary installations we had there. It was only after the Filipino people decided to rid themselves of Marcos that we would even speak out against him. Iraq and Iran are no different. As long as we have a financial stake in the Middle East we will continue to treat with any such government. Our credibility is further damaged by our history in Vietnam. We showed the world that we will not stay to finish the job thatwe proclaimed had to be done. This is the lack of the exit strategy I speak of when it comes to involving American forces anywhere in the world. We don't seem to plan for this; and we will continue to lose Amrican lives in any such situations unecessarily until we adopt one.

You are so narrow minded have you ever thought that perhaps
these posts is misrepresenting themselves? Listen Damn it get
real, cause the way you are talking everything you people post
is okay, and if I don't agree with what's being said I am wrong.

You are being dis honest, and you better be thankful that I have
not called you a lier. What is the important issue of the up-coming
election? You want a republician to take office again? Oh I forgot
you are a Republician, and what's happening is Obama is being used.

You know like I know NO Black man will ever be President (Not in
this life). You all is dis-crediting Hillary, but she is the one who will
win. So don't give me that bull that race does not matter because
it do.

You are a damn joke

I guess not because almost everyone is your skin-color (If not all).
So tell me how can you all discriminate against each other? See I
told you that you think everybody is a damn fool.

In closing honestly....I try to stay away from racism discussions,
but its posts like tristandrobin that keeps shit going, and I will
always speak up if I feel discriminated against just like you do.
The topic is a catcher anyways (Does Race Matter)?. I can
say yes it does, and you can say no it don't. However it would
depends on the mindset.

So if you felt that I am upsetting the thread. Then I suggest that
you make sure that you don't. Worry about yourself and nobody
else. Can you understand that?
Reverse racism much?
Or don't you see it because then you'd have to admit you were wrong?
Its post like this that keep racism, and reverse racism, alive.

That's an insult to Mickey. WHoever wins next year, will be a democrat. For that reason, the GOP members may be Quacking (like in Mickey's friend, Donald) in their boots.
