yes, I asked you...but I asked you a specific question...
about the peace movement. I asked why you did not take your ideals to the real enemies of peace...and your answer was that you leave them to God but will instead preach to us not to fight them, even when they bring the fight to us. So be it.

We will agree to disagree.

I did not personally call you a whiner. As to who sent the military...I will say one thing. When you join the military, you take an oath. That oath has been posted here. You are under no illusions. You know that you may be called to war. It is an all voluntary army over there now. There is no draft. No one is over there because they were forced to go.

As to the people sending having never been...what has that got to do with anything?It was not just George Bush and Dick Cheney, Lurker. It was Congress. Many in Congress do have relatives, even sons and daughters, in Iraq. Have you read the resolution? It is very clear. They knew exactly what they were signing and exactly what it meant. I do not buy the lied to hooey. The Senate and House intelligence committees got the same briefings, or at least enough briefings to vote for the resolution. If they did not (in their own words) use due diligence before signing off on that resolution, whose fault is that? Certainly not Dick Cheney's or George Bush's.

Where were all these people when Clinton was calling for regime change? Because he was a Democrat they will follow him to war? You will see why I do not buy into their rhetoric.

And while I understand your big picture, as I have said over and over and you have never addressed, that will work only if the others in the big picture wish it to work. And if you honestly feel that God wishes that you lay down and let this country be overrun by terrorists, then so be it. I am not of the same mind.

The big difference is that I believe, as did Americans at the time of the Revolution, and that Americans did at the time of the Civil War...and that even some Americans did at the time of Viet Nam...some things are worth dying for. Most of our volunteer military feels the same.

When that is no longer the case, if you are successful in robbing that sense of patriotism from the generations to come without changing the minds of the enemies, where they feel that nothing is worth dying for...in my mind that will only bring death quicker, not keep it at bay, and the loss of the greatest nation on the face of this earth.

So, we agree to disagree.

God bless.
Glad you enjoyed them and glad to see you back!

I never asked you what you did. sm
I made the statement that you are a whiner.  I would never tell the personal information some of you have on here, just for safety's sake if nothing else.
YOU ASKED ME !!!!..

I do not remember specificially but you asked me where were my legs and my mouth. What did I do besides coming to the C board and whining and I answered you.


The peace **movement** as you call it is different from a peaceful nonviolent approach to life. The movement is but one small fraction of trying to live a life of nonviolence. The **movement** shows its face big time when a tragedy the size of Iraq erupts but most of the time we work behind the scenes.


Again, this is our board, I'll preach to the choir as much as I want. If you don't like it, don't read it, how simple is that.


You seem to see promotion of a peaceful existence as one thing and that is resistance to war, or conflict or whatever they are calling it these days. It's all about the **them**, the politburo, the Viet Cong, the communists, the socialists, the terrorists. I don't see things that way. I see a bigger picture, bigger than this country or Iraq or Iran or China or this planet or this galaxy. I have been instructed in no uncertain terms how to behave towards my fellow man. There are no riders attached. That is the part that seems to be so hard for you to deal with. Christ instructed us to love our brothers as ourselves, to do for the least of our brethern as if we were doing for Him. He does not say, except for the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the bums, the slackers, the liars and thieves...there are no riders. That is for Him to sort out, not me.


The terrorists you refer to are everywhere. It is a mind set, not a place.  They are here in our country, they are certainly in Europe, in the Philippines, in Africa, in the islands of the South Pacific, Indonesia. It makes no sense to go somewhere else and protest. We have to look at ourselves first, always. Your approach seems to be to wage war on everyone. I think that is an exercise in futility.  I will stick with my approach. I will continue to pray, continue to do the things I have always done. I empathize with your position, knowing where you come from but I will never see killing as a way to accomplish anything positive. I also sincerely truly and honestly believe the terrorists hate each other more than they hate us and that we would not be in any more danger if we left Iraq than if we stay; in fact, I think just the opposite, the longer we stay, the worse things will become. It is a horrible position our troops have been put into. They were sent into an immoral, unethical, illegal snake pit by people who have never seen a day of combat in their lives, who got out because they had **other priorities.** And now they're stuck and we're stuck and whatever way we extricate ourselves it will not have a good outcome. My own personal opinion is that it is better to get out now and save what lives we can. I know you disagree, so be it.


By the way, I have one question for those of you who have served in the military or have husbands who have done so or are still doing so, doesn't the fact that people like Cheney with 5 deferments bother you/them. That no one who has sent people into war have actually been there themselves. Doesn't that bother you??


As you asked, here's a few...

These are just from the past week.  There's plenty, plenty more, a veritable ton to choose from......


_________________


Can we just admit it...you don't care what the facts are.


What a twisted value system. Twisted.


Here she is folks...the aspiring Ann Coulter of the liberal board.


Don't pretend you actually talk about issues here. You don't.


You do not believe your own platform.


Yeah....liberal compassion. I see a LOT of that on this board....
-
Ahh....the writ handed down from she who decides who and who does not deserve compassion. lol.


You care nothing about the truth. I don't even know if you recognize it anymore. Pathetic.


Cannot let go of prejudice long enough to see the truth when it is in plain black and white.


Again...if this is a liberal trait then God save us from liberals...


Typical pile on attack liberal tactics. Just admit it. You know they are lying, you just don't care.


What a twisted, twisted set of values you have.


Denial, denial, denial. It is so patently obvious...you cannot get past the Bush hatred...cannot see the forest for the trees. Amazing....utterly, completely, amazing


You have so much class, reveille...really, so much class. You could not debate an issue if your life depended upon it. Let us hope that it never does.
 
LOL. You do love to wallow in it.... (to Piglet)


 


Once again, you get what you asked for
I gave it to you and you want to call it retoric. You just can't stand it because you have nothing else to go on. Your own man for president is disliked by his own VP. Strange bed fellas indeed. Gotta wonder what's going on there and just how Obama got talked into Biden for his VP.

Didn't you say show us your facts? What about it don't you like? I admit, it doesn't look good does it?

At least Palin wasn't caught putting down McCain left and right. That bothers you I know but too bad.

You can you tube it and find it yourself since even proof isn't good enough for you.

Such denial you guys are in.
I just asked him and he said

he is FOR the secret ballots because he said that companies start intimidating workers when the subject of unions come up, telling them, we will have to cut your pay, prices will go up, we will have to lay off most of our workers and finally, "we'll have to close our doors."  So it cuts both ways.  I'm sure he'll be more than happy to expound on  his RABID pro-union stance if you're sure you're ready for that.  LOL


Yes, I know Todd Palin is a card-carrying union member and good for him but that still doesn't mean I want to see his wife in the White House!!!!


He was never asked
if he spoke to dead presidents or anything about seances with Nancy Reagan.

I'm for Obama doing well but we do not need humor right now. We need some serious answers to what promises he is going to keep to us and what he is going to do to help us.

Granted, this was the first conference I think he's had (I think, not sure), but don't joke. Jokes are not what we need. He needs to take some time, get acclimated, first get sworn in, show the people he is going to do what he promised, and then there will be time for jokes. This was not appropriate.

And he needs to tell the reporters who as the absolute a$$nine questions, that he is there to answer questions about his plans, not his personal life.
You asked for it...
**Fellow Business Executives:***

**As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned**
**myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and**
**that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.**

**To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have**
**to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot**
**increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we**
**will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been**
**eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't**
**know how to choose who will have to go.**

**So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8**
**Obama bumper stickers on our employees ' cars and have decided these**
**folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way**
**to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.**

**If you have a better idea, let me know.**

**Sincerely,***

asked, but --

He also said when asked..(sm)

Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion?


"Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice."


So which is it?


Of course I make fun of republicans, just like you guys make fun of dems.  So what else is new?  I'll tell you what.  I'll name one republican who I think is reasonable, and you name one democrat who you think is reasonable.  I'll go first.


How about John McCain's daughter....Meghan McCain.  She is 24 years old, just out of college, and smart as a whip.  She has a column on The Daily Beast.  I think she leans a little more towards the center, but is definitely a fiscal conservative.  Give her about 8 years and if she goes into politics she will be a force to be reckoned with.  Check out these interviews.

Who asked you?
.
You asked....
here ya' go.
I was asked what I do besides whine, where..
were my legs. This is in response to something on the other board. Again, let me reiterate, I was ASKED.
I asked a question
About Casey Sheehan becuase I honestly didn't know and I have not seen that before.

As far as throwing troops to the dogs, I never said that, I said bring them home, and I am not sure how that got interpreted in to throwing them to the dogs.

But as usual, the conservative posters love to put words in our mouths.

Sigh ...


uhhh well so far I have never asked one of you if you...
pee venom? So far you have the sole capture on that lovely piece trash talk.
I do understand it, which is why I asked you
xx
You asked the supporters why and they
gave you what they thought, why are you "attacking" this person because you don't like their answer.

It is truly a ridiculous question. It is a flippin' pin. Does it really matter? Shouldn't we be more interested in the people who are running views and formats, be they Democrat or Republican. Why do we keep getting caught up in all of this garbage?!!

Many people were taught that the hand goes on the chest during the pledge and you sing the anthem.
No I asked if someone could tell me why he doesn't and no one knows sm
instead you want to say it is just silly. Who is attacking whom?
Asked and answered...
...ad nauseam!
If you were homeless and asked for one...
you would have gotten it...along with a ride wherever you wanted to go after you voted. lol.
For the poster who asked for me to

was a Moslem.........


The rag was himself while on  "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos.  Obama was talking about his religion and said, " My Muslim faith" and then said when questioned that he "made a mistake".    


Is that enough citing for you or do you not believe what he said either? 


You blind O lovers need to open your eyes folks!


Blindness will get you nowhere when he has sold your country down the river to the terrorists. 


I didn't ask how old it was, I asked
if any of you Republicans want to address it.  Apparently not.  Do you REALLY think the idea is dead?   Oh yeah, now I remember, Republicans. Hallaluja and amen.
I've never been asked either.
I was quite shocked really.  The first time I went to vote I had my voter registration card on me and my driver's license to show them, but they never asked.  Then when I told them that my address had changed, they didn't ask for proof of that, they just marked out my old address and wrote in my new one.  Too easy to mess with the system and that was in a small hillbilly town.  I can't imagine how easy it would be in a huge town.
I asked my parents about this
and they both laughed at me. My father comes from a very politically involved family. My dad tells me things were very charged when Kennedy ran and especially when Nixon ran. He has especially bad memories of the Nixon campaign.
Who asked you to trust me? (sm)
I really don't care if you trust me or not.  That's just rediculous.  Don't trust me...look something up for a change.  I'm simply stating facts.  What you need to do is just admit you got busted and quit digging yourself into a deeper hole. 
I asked what is wrong with this? s/m
Obama just said in his speech:  "I ask you to believe, not so much in my ability to bring about change but in your's."  I think he sure got that one right.
That is my point, WE don't get asked to
handed a pay cut and told it is a 'good thing.' You don't get a chance to be willing to take a pay cut.
this is exactly why I asked the questions I did -
everybody else either has to make it on their own or fail - they obviously have been ripping the American public off for years - a quality product could have been made for a lot less money. Why should we have to bail them out now? The problem is they don't want to lose those big bonuses and big paychecks and actually have to get a job like the rest of us do!
I don't think he asked for that picture -
In fact, I read that he was already wishing he had a little bit more privacy during that vacation trip and thought it was a bit ridiculous that people wanted to see pictures like that of him...

I don't think there was a thing wrong with him going shirtless on a beach in Hawaii and I don't understand how could that equate to not having dignity?

no, i dont, that's why i asked
is it relating to the posts below?

because those were about someone's personality, not the way they looked.

Why are you trying to argue? all i asked was a question, if the OP wants to answer, that's fine, answer and we can have a discussion
No -- Obama was asked about the

war on terror (which is where the word terrorists comes from), and Obama responded with the "moderate Muslims" reply. 


I know it's hard to be told you're wrong, so I won't bother wasting my breath.  You think what you want.  Here's a new one for this board, brace yourself -- not everyone shares your opinion.


You asked, I answered.
I don't think fairy tales make for good foreign policy. Pre-emptive war under false pretenses that kill over 100,000 people waged in the WRONG COUNTRY to avenge daddy's honor and advance mythical global hegemony. No, Lu, the shrub has not made us safer, though you are free to give credit where you see fit. I would never try to talk down a blind Bushie but I can state with unwavering certainty that there are better, smarter, more honest and less deadly approaches to foreign policy, which you are about to witness first-hand on the dawn of this new era.
I asked this before, why should the government be able to tell me what to buy?
I know they are getting food stamps from the government, but why should that give the government the right to tell them what they have to eat?

I don't get it really why you think the government should stay out of your life, but then if you are poor, the government should have the right to control your life in every aspect.

If they want to eat poorly, then eat poorly. If someone gives you money for a birthday gift, do they get to then tell you how to spend it?
I was only addressing the question I asked below. SM

Which was never answered. I do not believe I have addressed Hillary at all. 


I believe Lurker asked if she would go to help rebuild. sm
and MT said that she would if possible. Try and keep up.
You asked a question, I answered it. I'm not sure what you want. nm

Well...Bill asked for one of those himself, dear...
and guess who did it? A special prosecutor appointed by Janet Reno...such a sterling Attorney General she was. Special prosecutor issued a subpoena to Bill and Hill for Madison Guaranty documents and...uh oh...it took them 18 MONTHS to comply. Flaunted the law then, even before he chose to commit felony perjury before the grand jury. Yeah, it was pointless okay, because it was a fixed deal from the get-go.
I asked a simple question...
Your only response is getting your panties in a wad. Throw yourself a pity party and get your panties out of that wad. You will live longer that way!
Why do you suppose he was asked repeatedly
Why do you suppose he was not able to give any? Did you not notice that his facts were not straight (as in false claims) about a governor being a commmander in chief?

I am curious. Why does JM get a pass when he refuses interviews but when Obama does it he is the devil incarnate? Can you say hypocrisy?
She was mayor, constituents had asked her...
about some questionable books in the library. In a meeting with the council she brought up that concern. According to that same Alaskan (Kilkenny, a Democrat, go figure), the same one who wrote the email cutting her to ribbons and one of the points was "She has hated me since 1992"....the first time she described the issue it was "I remember she brought up something about some books in the library but she never took it anywhere." Now, since she is running for VP, it has become "She tried to ban books!" Typical political crap. She was doing her job. Constituents brought her concerns and she brought those concerns to the council.

I saw the military head of the Alaska National Guard last night on TV, and the sitting mayor of Wasilla. Both had nothing but good things to say about her. The National Guard gentleman was really PO'ed that people so minimized the role of the governor as commander in chief of the National Guard. She was involved last weekend in deploying Alaska National Guard assets to Louisiana to help with Gustav.

You would think these folks would spend more time talking about what there #1 is doing than trying to crucify the other side #2. But, that is the way of the left. Politics of personal destruction and the bloodier the better...and enjoying every minute of it. McCain has more character in his pinkie.
I myself would have asked about magic Koolaid!
Ahhh, the pause that refreshes!
If Obama would've come out and asked
to postpone the debate, you would be up in arms..."Barack doesn't want to debate!" or worse.  Give me a break.  They can debate AND vote for the bill.  Remember airplanes!?  Talk about grandstanding.  JM politicizes EVERYTHING!!  Gets old.... no inuendo intended.
He was asked by the media to hold off on his...sm
press conference until they could get cameras to where he was and broadcast it live.
the moderator asked them to look at and speak to each other -
it was not done to be intimidating - he was actually trying to follow the directions he was given.
Has anyone asked Biden that question? No.
What has that got to do with being vice president? If Katie Couric didn't have a cheat sheet she couldn't answer it either.

Why doesn't Katie interview Joe Biden? If she was interested in comparing the two, she would. Nobody cares what he has to say.

And you know, flowery rhetoric and "book" knowledge will take you only so far. I am ready for a person who understands struggling and MY life to be up there. She is the only one in the group who is not a millionaire. She has had the regular struggles all the rest of us have had. There is some heart with the head.

Look at all the "experience" in Washington and where it got us. Please.
My mistake too....I did not want to debate and asked not to...you kept...sm
trying, too, though, and I should have ignored your barbs, even though you didn't think that they were.

My apologies for not having a thick skin of armor on.....will not in the future respond back.
Joe is just a guy who asked a question. The left will
nm
I just asked my husband today what we were going to do -
I am married to a black man and it worries me come next week how we are going to be treated.

The racist whites are going to be mad if Obama is elected and the black people are going to be upset if Obama is not elected. I think it will be made worse by the fact that it has seemed that Obama was so far ahead so that if he does not win people will actually say the election was manipulated in some way to keep a black man from winning.

I live in a very small town that already has problems with us and I am afraid it is going to be worse. For the first time in the years we have been together, I am kind of scared about it.
I asked a question you did not answer.
He said he was going to cut taxes for 95% of the American people. 40% of the American people do not pay federal income tax. So how is he going to give a tax break to 95% of the American people? He is going to cut the ones who did not pay taxes a check. You cannot seem to answer that fundamenal central issue can you?
