The anti-war crowd has already proven itself to be more about politics than philosophy.

The second Obama took office they packed up and went home and put the signs in the attic for 4-8 years.

We are still in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan has been expanded and we are attacking a country that hasn't been a threat to us since the mid 1980s and yet not a peep...

Obama always said he would expand that war. Iraq has already begun the drawback. Afghanistan is still a go for this July? iirc.

I don't get it...he's essentially said everything that he said he would do since day one regarding these wars.

He also promised to kill bin Laden, lol. strangely enough, he did that, too.

60 day limit on the War Powers Act has expired, we're technically in another "illegal war" so where are all the protests?

All you're doing is bitching and whining about it on a computer site forum. Way to fight the power, Mr. Mandela!

Lol stupid egotistical nonsensical hypocrites.

Don't be so hard on yourself. :p

Perknose, I have no interest in actually trying to change things. But I will bitch at those who act or say they do, when they clearly don't. If you're not going to have conviction, don't even fucking start you're just wasting everyones time and resources.


But of course attack me because I was clearly out there protesting our "illegal wars". Moron. Seriously Perknose you could do better than that.

Really? THAT'S your position?

You admit you will do NOTHING, but you will excoriate those others who, in your lordly judgment, don't do enough, or make distinctions you can't or won't, or don't immediately act in the way YOU proscribe for them?

WOW.

Can you even admit to yourself how pathetic that is?

Well Perknose, I wasn't the one protesting "illegal wars" now was I? I was not the one running around making a big stink about things only to forget about it a couple years later. I am NOT those people, so why the FUCK should I do anything like they did? I'm not a hypocrite here for calling out others on their hypocrisy. You seriously don't think you've "got me!" now do you? I mean... please.

Perk just leave quietly, you're making yourself look bad and I already don't have any respect for you or the other mods any longer.



Moderator callout. You can can argue all you want but you are not allowed to bring a mods title into the conversation. But you knew that.

I am the least tolerant of any mod for this behavior. Take some time off to really let this sink in.

A revisionist idiot like yourself probably doesn't realize that the Tea Party movement started as a backlash against the Bush administrations spending and hence before Obama was even elected.

As the great Philosopher Lennon once said "Whatever gets you through the night.."

You mean lack of haircut. One things for certain, there's no beating father time. I just turned 57 yesterday. The sad thing is I thought I was turning 58 so as a present I got a year younger..LOL. I must be getting Old Timers disease:eek:

So what you're saying is you see absolutely no hypocrisy from the previous very vocal war protesters of yore for their complete silence now? This isn't how you get shit changed. This is why I hate hippies.

Has it occured to you that there may be a correlation between the size and scope of a given US military action and the tendency of anti-war people to take to the streets to protest said action? I'm not sure I recall people in the streets protesting Grenada, for example, but that was a long time ago...

Most hippies who used to care about wars are now just self-centered old farts more interested in keeping Democrats in power so they get their free healthcare. Most young hippies are protesting because they are too stoned to be productive members of society so they protest Republican wars to try to keep the Democrats in charge to continue to give them free stuff so they don't have to get jobs. Everybody knows this.
