The real world is a lot bigger than you Obama loving freaks who see no wrong in anything he does.  Waterboarding is not torture.  Their lives were not in danger.  Now if we were chopping off fingers, pulling off finger nails and toe nails, cutting off someone's ear, etc.......that is torture.  We didn't break their bones or cut anything of theirs off.  We are in a war.  A war where people want YOU dead along with your family all because we aren't Muslims.  Now, you people whine and complain about the God fearing Christians who post and you ridicule them and tell them to go to the faith board and stop all the Bible mumbo jumbo because they are freaks, etc. but you seem to be fine with extreme Islam and them wanting to kill everyone who doesn't believe like they do. 

Whether you want to believe it or not, Obama has put us all at great risk with these witch hunts.  We will be hit by terrorists again.  I'm not the only one who thinks that.  Just look at the people in NYC who ran for their lives when they pulled the idiotic photo op with Air Force One flying low over the city.  People freaked out!  Now...obviously that wasn't a terrorist attack but people are still scared and they should be.  You can't reason with terrorists.  They will not stop trying to kill us until we kill them first. 

Iran warns US.

And we have to worry about our own economy.  Afraid to find out what is next.

I can't stop laughing and emailed this to everyone I know, as well as added it to my favorites.

This is priceless!  Thanks. 

Now THERE'S a post full of kindness, understanding, tolerance, and love.  I wish there were more people like you in this country right now.  I was starting to feel very angry and in the midst of letting them drag me down to their level, but your post just lifted me up from all that (even sans the beads).  You must be very proud of your heritage.  I would love to learn more about it.

Thank you again for your post.

This was a great read and sums up very well the impression Ann Coulter has given me of herself and her so-called values. 

Yes, I've posted on the conservative board a couple times recently.  Didn't take me long to realize it wasn't the place for me, and I don't plan on posting there any more.

However, I continue to read the posts there, note your ongoing confusion and truly hope you get back to school soon so they can teach you that the 9 in 9/11 indicates the month of September, not August.  I do applaud you for getting the 11 in 9/11 correct, though.

Another point of confusion:  I'm not Lurker.  I'm Liberal.

I hope the link works!  If not,  sorry!

Looks like they're breaking out the tear gas and water cannons, along with the bullets.

"  Rafsanjani, one of the most influential politicians in Iran, supports opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who says that June 12 elections were rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. That puts him in conflict with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who has approved of the electoral win. "

" In Washington, President Barack Obama urged an end to the crackdown. “We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people,” he said in an e-mailed statement. "

Till now the verbal support of Obama suffice to give the protesters enough moral support to continue with their just protests.  Khatami is detaining his own people and their relatives!

Unacceptable answer for word verbiage. Do people actually let you get away with that?

You must run in really tolerant debate circles.  Best stay in them.  This kind of behavior is not tolerated in most political circles I know of.  But it is a good example of how far we have slipped into the he said/she said atmosphere of debate in this country.  Just say anything and never have to prove it.  It works well for the MSM, of which you seem so fond.  Well, should have known better. I am off for greener pastures and debate fields where people actually have to prove what they say.  Imagine that!

It's about MJF being used as a pawn to relay false information about stem cell research, 99% of which is false and unfounded.  It's about misrepresenting what embryonic stem cell research really is and what it will be.  So you are right, it's about a whole lot more than MJF.  It's dirty politics and the Democrats used MJF's affliction for their gains.  Shame on them.

Thought I'd switch back over to this board.

Thanks for your reply to my question about your leaving Florida.  It sounds like a big transition in many ways, both geographically and emotionally.  I had inquired because I have similar thoughts myself and so far I keep moving farther and farther north and away from civilization.   Anyway, good luck and it would be good to hear when you're settled in. 

LMAO.

I was listening to a variety of news shows and visiting a number of news sites this morning for my "daily dose" when it struck me that the coverage about Iran is already diminishing - even on sites like Fox News. 

Sometimes I think that we Americans have the attention span of a fruit fly...and I also think that people like the Ayatollah rely on the fact that after a brief period of outrage, Americans will forget that there may be thousands of Iranians either in hospitals or sitting in cells waiting to hear exactly how they will be executed.

Iran's increasingly isolated opposition leader effectively ended his role in street protests, saying he'll seek permits for future rallies. A leading cleric demanded in a nationally broadcast sermon Friday that leaders of the unrest be punished harshly and that some are "worthy of execution."

Well, yeah, it's kind of crazy here, too, sometimes.  But less toxic, much more sane and more welcoming.  I kind of like it overall.

Nice to see you posting again.

And I'm ecstatic!!!  I heard Craig Crawford say that Bush isn't the radical evangelical that some of his more rabid followers think he is.  Maybe Bush isn't as bad as I thought he was.  Maybe he IS choosing a woman who is *reasonable.*  Maybe he's finally waking up and realizing his numbers are going down because he's ignored the majority of the people in this country while trying to cater to the whacky radical minority who want use the GOVERNMENT to force their religious views and imagined moral superiority down everyone's throats.

I didn't even start out being this left-sided.  It seemed the more right-sided he leaned, the more left-sided I became, almost an involuntary reflex type reaction in rebellion.  With the nomination of Miers and the subsequent disapproval by Krystal, Buchanan, etc., I feel as if I can relax a little bit and finally feel there might actually be HOPE for America.  This is indeed a happy day! 

Fear and ignorance.  The only way Bush knows how to lead.

**And for those who don't know already, Ann Coulter is a Conservative apologist who has just released a new book, and while promoting her future Best Seller, she made some off-the-wall comments just so she could get some publicity for said book. She claimed that the windows of 9/11 are milking their husbands deaths, and called them broads who are enjoying their million dollar status. To me, she isn't an alien, just another person trying to XXXX somebody else over in order to make some chump change. I don't believe for a second she means a word of what she came out with, but is just trying to drum up interest in her new product, which is for sale. And according to Amazon.com's book rankings, she's accomplishing her goal. Shrewd businesswomen? Yes indeed. On her way to becoming Satan, halfway there!**

Something wicked this way comes, and we are in the middle of it. Oh yeah, I have been likened to Chicken Little, the sky is falling, blah, blah, blah, but I am cognizant of the falsities this administration would like us to believe, and although I am of average intelligence, not presidential material, am educated enough to know that they, WHOMEVER THEY ARE, were going into a HORNET's NEST in IRAQ, also going to make more TERRORISTS. Also, with my average intelligence, I knew enough to know that Hussain was keeping his people under control, and that NO terrorists would be stupid enough to make trouble or reside in Iraq.  He was master.  So he killed 30,000 people, maybe a little more.  How many have the BUSHWACKERS KILLED!?  Yes, of course, I'm upset with him and his cronies.  He has made AMERICANS LOOK STUPID, DISHONEST and MURDEROUS and no more humanitarian, maybe even less so, than Saddam.  At least Saddam had his reasons to kill his people.  What are HIS reasons for the killing?  Have not heard any that make any sense!  That is my take on the whole thing.  Plus the useless FEMA of the Katrina disaster, and on and on and on.  No time to spell it all out.
