Yea, I always wonder how the logistics for a year's supply of anything is worked out. Does Dr. Feelgood come by once a week to check on his hot dog supply?
I know, Earl, it's pretty far out for me to suggest that Americans, and not the French, are better qualified to determine what is in America's best interest.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... the rhetoric of many recent Democratic candidates has been indistinguishable from the Al Qaeda videotapes. Don't blame me that they sound alike. Often the only way to tell the difference is to check whether the speaker sports a turban or a $400 haircut. I sincerely hope politicians of both parties will wise up and stay focused on what is vitally important. That would be preventing another 9/11, not preventing ice from melting in the Antarctic summers.
So, how about that Statue of Liberty? Is the observation deck in her crown reopened or do they still keep it off limits?
Last week, Japanese scientists placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Cort Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.
"Striving for peace is something we can all agree on, isn’t it?"
Sure, but peace at any price? Peace only by acquiescing to every crackpot terrorist outfit that makes demands? Why are their medieval interests more valid or important than the national interests of elected democracies?
Shallow content in this video. Some answers: Q: Do they see us as facist? A: Doubtful, since THEY are the facists. Now and historically, including supporting the Axis in WWII. What do you think Saddam's Baath party was?
Q: How are we different? A: They deliberately target and murder civilians as policy. We do not. They use children in terrorist and combat operations. We protect the innocent. They think nothing of giving religious justification for murdering other Muslims. We have gone out of our way to protect and liberate Muslims even when it wasn't in our best interest (Kosovo, Somalia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq, Oslo Accords, huge amounts of foreign aid to Muslim countries annually, etc etc etc).
Q: Do they speak for us (showing pictures of Western world leaders)? A: Yes, actually. That's why we elected them to lead our representative democracies.
Comparing the image of the bombing of the World Trade Center and murder of thousands of innocent civilians (including Muslims) with the image of the "shock and awe" missile attacks on a few Iraqi government buildings after hours after fair warning is a ludicrous misrepresentation. Only someone who is mentally unbalanced or who sympathizes with our enemies would consider those events morally equivalent.
So yes, some kinds of world peace are great. We are agreed on that. Now just go convince Al Qaeda and you'll be getting somewhere.
Wow, mrgoodbar sounds like he's running for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Unfortunately for his Euro-socialist-philia, the French just elected their own right-wing President whose victory speech promised France's friendship with their American friends and "that France will always be by their side when they need it". Guess not everyone in the world shares your hatred of your fellow Americans, mrgoodbar, oh well.
Guns should be banned!
Children should be banned too!
And dollies!
And advertising!
And the Internet!
