Iraq and the Democrats
Jun 15 2007, 2:53 AM EDT I am very disappointed that the Democrats did not stick to their guns with the troop funding/withdrawal from Iraq policy which they were pushing..they backed down and it's very disappointing, yet again. They could have, as DUBYA would say, stayed the course with their plan! 1 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Iraq and the Democrats
Jun 24 2007, 2:53 PM EDT I vividly remember the 60ies and early 70ies when people like you spit at our returning soldiers and called them names. Now they do not spit at them but call them the same names: Baby killer, murderers,rapists and torturers. To make it more interesting they have added the attribute Terrorists. But they say they support our troops. It is getting truly stale.They play the same old game by trying to withhold funding as they did at Vietnam. The result then was that the communists killed and tortured millions in Cambodia and tens of thousands in Laos and Vietnam. But again that never bothered the prevailing left wing of the Democrats it was seen as justified. Our country did not loose that battle, it was the Democrats by withholding funds so our troops had to withdraw overnight. Never mind the Paris peace treaty and violations of international Law, Human Rights violations and violations of the Geneva conventions by the enemy then. Like today the torture and willful killing of our captured soldiers was seen as justified and ignored by the press and their antics cheered by the left wing. But they claim : We support our soldiers but not the war! The plain truth however is that anything that would help to destroy our system and could help to replace it with a " true" social state is welcome and supported! And let us again not forget that we all should support and finance their causes but they themselves do not want to spend a penny of their money. They are pillars of the freedom of speech but like in the former Soviet Union would not hesitate to put everybody that disagrees into the Gulags. Not because we exercise our 'Freedom Of Speech' but because we are lying ,since 'They' and only 'They' speak and are proxy to the truth. The rest is trying to destroy their Paradise! And I could go on and on. That is one reason why I can not support the Democratic Party in it's present condition! 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Iraq and the Democrats
Jun 24 2007, 5:03 PM EDT How dare you generalize me as "like you spit at our returning solders." Typical right-winger who doesn't have a clue about what is happening to our country and the world because of right-wingers and your present Administration! Paraphrasing you, "like you", you appear to be like your leaders - you listen to your right wing conservatives who want to take over this country (and maybe the world) and poison the minds of Americans who apparently have no idea what freedom of speech is all about. Your right wingers, including the present Administration are attempting to deprive us of our basic rights of freedom, turning the rest of the World against us, and ruining, YES RUINING, the environment. Pretty sad when your leader doesn't even believe in global warming, believes it's okay to wiretap U.S. citizens without warrants and thinks there are "internets". I supported our troops in Vietnam and lost friends in that war - I never spat on them! I support our troops now and so does the rest of the country - what we don't support is your Administration's handling of the aftermath of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! What was the end result in Vietnam? Failure and thousands of lives lost for what? it's the right wing that is destroying our lives and our freedoms..Get a life and stop listening to your prophets like Limbaugh and O'Reilly. Wake up! 0 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Wake up!"Dear misguided and mentally deprived moron, You either can not read or do not have the capacity to think, a trade you share with millions of your like minded.I am far from right wing, but what is commonly called a 'Social Democrat'. A term and philosophy you probably would not understand. It is a status a great many would like to see the Democratic Party attain again so we could feel comfortable with her once more! I will not respond to you ever again for it would be sense and fruitless, just like my little elaboration suggests. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 25 2007, 7:47 PM EDT "Dear misguided and mentally deprived moron,I'm not even a social democrat (but instead adhere to the philosophy of poststructuralism), but there are a few things you should know about social democrats. For instance, a strong emphasis on human rights is incredibly important. I'm not sure what it is about war that might be screaming "human rights" for you, but I'm definitely missing it. Social democracts strongly support civil liberties, which have certainly been diminished if not completely eliminated under the present administration. Social democrats and existing social democracies (i.e., Sweden, Norway--etc Scandanavian countries) are in favor of low unemployment, low inflation, low national debt, and an overall low cost of living, and my favorite part of all--state funded agencies that provide universal health care. How much of this exists now? And i'm not sure if you can read, because I gathered nothing from the initial thread that insinuated a lack of support for our troops. Wouldn't getting the troops out of Iraq (where we have also destroyed civil liberties and violated human rights) be considered supporting the troops? I'm not sure what brand of social democracy you are buying into, but you have certainly been misguided. Oh, and it's "lose that battle", not "loose"-- if you still feel the need to discuss mentally deprived moronism. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
