Who are you, and why are you wasting time in this thread? Do you have nothing better to do? Who cares.

Is he related to Jack Daniels? Why does he engage in this lame letter writing. There are plenty of diplomats, scholars, and politicians who are against this war. Yet he chooses to engage actors. Is it because of the publicity potential, and is he a publicity whore?

He is an anus.

So are you and him long lost brothers? What exact problem do you have with his letter?

SuperTool - The only place it is posted is on his website. He has several articles and editorials. And he, like many others of us, don't care for a lot of the opinions of diplomats, scholars, and politicians who are against this war.

Yet you care about the opinions of actors who are against the war?

Then why are conservatives throughout history almost always proven right? Why do conservative actions lead to better results than liberal actions? Maybe one is superior to the other. No two sides are equal. After this conflict is said and done with, conservative actions and the Republican party will be yet again proven to have made the right decision.

If you actually believe that, then more power to you. Do you think you might be the slightest bit biased being a conservative yourself? Is it any different from a liberal feeling the same way about liberals and their decisions? Nope. However, you are so sure you are superior and as a result, feel you have no reason to even open your mind to something different than what you think. Many heavy liberals are guilty of the exact same thing. As soon as you consider your views so superior that you don't even need to remotely listen to something different, you realy lose out IMO.

This is my thread, these are my views. If you don't like what you see, go start your own Republican & Charlie Daniels bashing thread. Nobody's stopping you! Really! Go for it, man!

It is indeed your thread, on a public forum. The last time I checked, there were no restrictions on who can post in what threads. I have no need to start a thread bashing anyone as it serves no meaningful purpose. I try to keep myself open to both sides of every topic...you learn a lot more that way.

I'm just saying to check your history books and pay attention to what happens in the coming weeks. And pay attention to the people, parties, organizations, coalitions, leaders and countries who backed it and who didn't- who are they allied with? Conservatives are much more credible and will continue to be so.

I welcome your posts to stir things up a bit in here, but if you're really adamant about all this, nothing's stopping you from making your own thread as well.

I don't care for their opinion, no.

WTF is a "him long lost brothers"?

But it doesn't matter. You know why? Because the majority of America supports our forthcoming actions, and there's not a damn thing you liberals can do to stop it. Nothing. And it will turn out for the better and have been the right thing to do. So save your loudmouth energy to climb back into your trees to keep them from being chopped down to make the kitchen table and dinette set you plan on buying next weekend.

See, you prove my point. I haven't said anything about what my views are on the situation, and I did not defend or demonize the Hollywood types. However, your knee jerk reaction is to call me a liberal and start talking crap about trees and such. I kept every one of my posts civil, but that is apparently hard for you to do.

As far as Hollywood influencing opinion, you obviously have little faith in the American people to determine their own views. You really thik anyone is "brainwashed" by a TV show? C'mon man.

I will respect your request and leave your thread.


Now, where is my tree? "Here tree, tree, tree...heeeeeeeere tree, tree, tree."

Wow! Great read! Such intelligence displayed by a great name like that guy that wrote this! Im all for sending all of our troops over to Iraq to bomb the bejeebus out of them! Lets forget North Korea for the moment, long range nuclear warheads are nothing to worry about, while we do the U.N.'s dirty work! Rock on! Conform or get the frig out!

What a crock.

Oh I missed a comma. Big fvcking deal. Are you going to dodge the question or what? Sounds fairly typical for you and your nambly pamby liberal friends.

Why do the intellectually inferior always spout this nonsense? Has it ever occured to you that maybe, just maybe, he's already absorbed and and disseminated all the available information and reached a logical conclusion?

The problem with most liberal arguments is that the logic is based on emotion. Just because I, or anyone else, can make informed decisions without first having to hug a tree for reassurance does not mean that our minds are not open to something different. It means we've considered and dismissed it as nonsense.

It still amazes me that some people have trouble with the concept that not everyone agrees with them and that people who disagree with them are not evil commies.

Please growup.

I don't think they are commies, I think they are idiots. Not because they disagree with me, but because they refuse to see the truth and instead are more comfortable with their one-liners, GWB jokes, and "No more blood for oil" signs. Please people, put down the signs, stop chanting and just think about it for one hour, or even one minute. Free your mind from sound-bytes, over-zealous people spouting loaded slogans about the evil American government, and opinions of others. Simply examine the facts instead of giving in to your emotions all the time. You may still reach the same conclusion, but it's obvious that none of you have even given it that much thought. Do so, you might even change your mind (wow, now there's a scary thought).

Ahh..more insulting for no reason. I'm "intelectually inferior" now huh? Well, if you say so all knowing one.

I apologize for the name calling. I am tired of the super patriots, particularly the love or leave guys, who attack anyone who disagrees with them. It is okay in the US to openly disagree with the goverment's policies. It is countries like Iraq and North Korea that repress political and social dissension or protest.

Personally I do not give a successful actor's opinion any more weight than I give anyone elses opinion.

The liberal bashing is tedious.

Isn't it amazing how, when you sling sh!t, you always seem to get a little on yourself?

See? You learned something.

My problem isn't the letter, although I think it's not fit to wipe my ass with. My problem is that the same people who bash actors for speaking their minds are embracing Daniels for "telling it like it is". I don't need Martin Sheen or Charlie Daniels or anyone else to tell me how to think.

The Conservative bashing is just as tedious. It goes both ways. It always ends in name-calling and flaming. What else is there to expect?

How is it so obvious for a liberal any more than it is so for a conservative? There is no proof for either course. It is just as possible that some of the liberals in this thread have spent just as much time evaluating their opinions as some of the conservatives. It is equally just as possible that some conservatives are blindly parroting a country musician as some liberals are blindly parroting an actor.

I notice that my post early in this thread was completely ignored. Would we rather sling mud than consider the notion that Charlie Daniels is no more qualified to wax philosophical about governing the nation than Martin Sheen?

I'm bashing actors because they encouraged people to jam the phone lines at the White House. That borders on treason.

The fact that you agree with a certain viewpoint does not make it the truth.

Please, explain to me how I insulted anyone. Your post implies I was insulting people and I don't see it in this thread. Do you see something I don't? You have no idea what my feelings on the current situation are, so how do you come to the conclusion I'm hugging trees and a liberal? Is it because I challenged someone to try opening their mind to opposing viewpoints?

 

[Insane3D]

So encouraging people to call their elected officials is bordering on treason? Really? Interesting view..

 

[freakflag]

You don't think that was a little insulting given the context?

They were not just simply calling them. They were TRYING to jam the lines so no one else could get through. It isn't treason, but it is stupid and repulsive.

Please. Don't try and change the facts. The plan was to " jam the phone lines at the White House and the Pentagon."

You must have misunderstood. Hundreds of thousands of hooligans tied up critical, federal telephone lines earlier this week to the point where legitimate, yes LEGITIMATE, phone calls could not get through. How is this different from a DoS attack? The server is damaged, productivity is damaged... no difference.

EDIT: Food for thought- how many of these bombarding calls were really by people who were holding a thought-through outline of things they seriously wanted to speak to their congressman or woman about... instead of just yelling the syntax of anti-war signs they saw on CNN? My bet is hedged on the latter.

Never estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
