Bush it doing a whole lot better terrorist-stomping than any democrat could do, if only he would give us back our civil rights!! :p


what civil rights did he take away? i am still able to speak freely, i have my right to privacy, i can still own a gun.

You just haven't been affected personally yet, give it time.

You have a gun? You obviously don't live in California or New York then.

Yeah, I believe the democrats have enacted strict gun laws there.

It's funny how the Constitution doesn't seem to apply when it comes to gun legislation, and yet so many people get up-in-arms about the Patriot Act infringing on their rights...

Im tired of this politics crap. Me too. I wish people would stop bringing up Clinton in a Bush thread. Bush is slowing if not stopping (stopping?) terrorisim across the globe, hes going after osama, because clinton wouldn't That's the reason? and as we all know he overthrew saddam. We are currently working peacefully(per the complaining from the left) on the situation in N korea. No one made a big deal about the blocking of the judges in the senate,This is relevant why? My wife's last apple pie turned out like sh!t, nobody made a big deal about it. <---that's about as relevant to this thread as your judges statement. whats the use the american public is so misinformed.

We don't hate the commies. They are just the antipode of everything America stands for.

So if something is different than America, that's a bad thing? Something to be stopped?

Where did I say it was bad or had to be stopped? That's right, I didn't. I guess this is just your usual attack on things I don't write.

Oh? Where did I say you said anything? I simply asked. I trust you've been asked questions before - you know those sentences with the little curly symbols at the end? Don't be such an asshat, fool.

what do you expect from someone with a link to rush on their webpage.

I'm glad you enjoyed the site. I will be updating it soon, and I'm sure it will be right up your alley. I was thinking of having a a flash intro as a tribute to Rush... you know, with stars and stripes, some patriotic music, and of course lots of Rush quotes. After all, since I have link to his site, I must be a Rush-loving, neo-con dittohead.

Why do you have links to Rush and Hannity, Dan? You seem to get defensive everytime someone mentions the fact that your website has links to them. Why?

Do you even have basic understanding of the english language ?

I never said I enjoyed your site.

If you dont enjoy Rush then why do you have links to his website?

Well the only reason I can think of is that you are on drugs also and you look at him as a "druggie hero".

VioletAura, you are the pefect example of what is wrong with this world. America, despite its flaws, will always be better and smarter than whatever piss-poor country you are from. I have nothing more to say, you bastard (yes, you are eliciting an emotional response from me, which is quite rare indeed).

There is nothing wrong w/ VioletAura considering his argument was very valid, and you couldn't even attempt to refute it other than saying there's something wrong w/ him. get a life.

WTF are you talking about? Do you have any clue at all or is this just one more low SNR post by YACS? The point is that if the guy is gulty of what the website alleges he has been in this country a long time, through several admins. not just Bush's. Do you get it now?

For someone who is constantly running his mouth about how stupid Americans are you don't appear to even have enough intelligence to comprehend simple English. Next time I post I'll use more one syllable words. Maybe your trio of functioning neurons won't go into overload.

look up to your original post, and notice how you made it apparent to everyone that again, allowing Orlando to walk around free was not only under Bush's reign. You conveniently disregard the fact that Bush was the only one "actively" fighting terrorism. Get it? next time i'll try to elaborate since you don't seem to have much ability to reason.


edit: and i remember it was you...or maybe someone else? it doesn't really make a difference - texas - tennessee - same sh!t - that kept throwing the word hypocrite around. I guess this makes BUSH a hypocrite.

Neither do I. What's the point, that Clinton ignored the first WTC attacks, USS Cole, embassy attacks, etc.? Do you have a point or are you just purposely being obtuse because in all reality you're nothing but a troll?

Sorry I almost forgot who I was talking to:

ob·tuse ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-ts, -tys, b-)
adj. ob·tus·er, ob·tus·est

a. Lacking quickness of perception or intellect.
b. Characterized by a lack of intelligence or sensitivity: an obtuse remark.

I guess there are a few ways to deal with terrorists and depending on where they may reside one way may be better than another. However, the Irish question was dealt with by Clinton by bringing Jerry Adams (Sinn Fein) to the US when other administrations refused on the basis that he was a terrorist. The Irish question has moderated to a workable problem and I'd venture there is no greater 'religious difference' than in that tiny country.
So we should recognize the players and try to engage them in a dialog that will result in changes for all parties. I'm not just speaking of OML or the Palestinian terror folks but, anyone who seeks to invoke terror to push their minority agenda. If they can't be satisfied then the world may unite against them and they will have not a place to hide and eventually with out that kind of support will cease to exist.
IMO!

I guess one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. That old cliche rings true when the terrorist in question happens to be fighting against our "enemy." Once again the ends justify the means and the U.S. only looks like more of a hypocrite than ever. I wonder, would we also support terrorists whose target happened to be Islamic extremists? Bombing their buildings and mowing down their followers with AKs in the Mosques?

Are we only appalled by terrorism because of the target and not the methods?

If you define "Terrorism" as: The systematic use of violence as a means to intimidate or coerce societies or governments, (a definition of the noun use of the word) then I'd be hard pressed to disagree with you. In fact, based on that definition just about anything war like is terrorism. I'd agree as well if you define it as an adjective.

I guess we say the use of little bombs is terrorism and the use of MOAB's is peace keeping. Targets are secondary to methods depending on where you are at the time of the explosion.

First, my name isn't Dan... I don't go around calling you "Gaa". Why do I have links to Rush and Hannity? Quite simple, I like Rush's website, and I love Hannity's radio show. Rush provides more links to valid sources than any other host. I don't agree with them all, but it provides good information when I need to reseach something. And, quit frankly, Sean Hannity is just entertaining.

Why do I get "defensive"? Probably because of the snide comments that are made because of my links... it doesn't bother me, but I have every right to "defend" myself when others write things such as "what do you expect from someone with a link to rush on their webpage."

I thought you would be smart enough to figure that one out, Gaard...

As for my response to VioletAura, he is a classic America hater that enjoys nothing more than to see our troops failing (and dieing) in Iraq. I refuse to waste my time discussing things with him, especially when he posts comments like:

"If this is the case, then this cloud may have a silver lining for the US... they can follow the sounds of hysterical laughter to the insurgents who fired on the helicopter."

I'm suprised that all Americans aren't offended by this sort of Anti-American rhetoric. Then again, nothing really surprises me anymore.

From Ultra Quiet-

What's the point, that Clinton ignored the first WTC attacks, USS Cole, embassy attacks, etc.?

That's not true at all. The perps of the first wtc attack are never getting out of the joint. Clinton sicced the CIA on Bin Laden, and our allies' intelligence services pitched in, as well. There were a few cruise missiles tossed around, as well, iirc.

Probably a lot of other under the surface kind of stuff, too. When Bush took office, his team basically decided that the Clintonites were obsessed with OBL, and directed their efforts elsewhere....

Our support of terrorism is long standing and still continues. The Contras are a good example, as are present day right wing paramilitaries in Colombia and other parts of the hemisphere, all financed on the American plan...

When they're working with our money, they're freedom fighters, when they're on the other side, they're obviously terrorists...

All of which is true, more or less, but I would say that the previous admin. didn't really show much "obsession" with OBL. It's irrelevant to the point I was trying to make anyway which is that if Bosch is under some sort of "protection" in this country it is certainly been under more than one admin. No blame, no finger pointing, no defending it, just an observation of the timeline.

Which part do you have a problem with? The 'protects' part? We gave him asylum. The 'terrorist' part? A previous post indicated some events maybe that is not a terrorist behavior.. Or is it 'for the votes' that you have a problem with linking the other two parts to 'win votes'. I think everything a politician does considers the political gain or loss.

I see your point, clinton was in office for 8 years and didn't do a thing to this person, but maybe he couldn't. I maybe wrong here, but I don't think presidential pardons can be revoked.

Which could also explain Bush's lack of involvement, in all fairness. I still think he's an !@#hole.
