Wouldn't you say the mindset of the young depends on the conditions and need for the war?  That is what I was alluding to.  In condemning this generation with their lack of morals you are also condemning soldiers in Iraq, I assume?  My belief is that if this country ever found itself in a dire situation that our young people would respond as needed.  Call me an optimist.  I cannot condemn a whole generation based on my version of what is moral and what isn't.  I would say sending soldiers to die in an unnecessary war is immoral.  Lack of care for our country's poor and sick is immoral.  Little kids starving in our country is immoral.  Our treatment of minorities and your condemntation of all liberals is immoral.  I believe that not only is abortion immoral, but many other things, too.  You may also blindly support our military, no matter what it is sent to do.  I don't.  I'm not a fool.  I would not have supported our military slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Native Americans in the 1800s, or supporting the slavery trade indirectly.  I would have applauded and supported any soldier who went AWOL, any demonstration against this military action.  Unlike you.

But you see, I have common sense.  I cannot argue or debate with  someone who doesn't have it.  You have a blinding anger toward Democrats and liberals.  You have no use for the truth.   I am sure this is not the first time you have been told this.

The rest of your post is so twisted and lacking common sense, even to insulting a person for reading books (heavens, we wouldn't want to educate ourselves -- another fear of the conservative posters) that it isn't worth my time to answer.

Please read Lurker's post.  You will deny it's accuracy, I'm sure.

As far as Ann Coulter, someone posted that the liberals had written and said terrible things also.  Indeed they have.  But Ann's article was posted on the conservative board as a fine and shining example of conservative wit and intelligence.  In reality, it was one of the smuttiest and sickening things I have read in a long time.  I don't recall any liberal posters crowing over such liberal trash on this board.  They seem to be a pretty moral group over all, and a group that's got a lot of common sense, most of all.

You have a need to twist and turn the truth and you appear to have little common sense or ability to see the big picture as far as humanity is concerned.  This may explain why you appear to have little to do with your time other than post incessantly and lengthily on a board where you are only interested in passive-aggressive attacks under the pretense of "trying to understand." 

As far as your post where you perseverate to almost a frightening degree regarding my comment on your "rightwing rags" -- you know exactly what I'm referring to.  Just your comment alone about all the soldiers supporting the war and your questioning the poster about where they heard that some soldiers do not support this war --- that's a prime example.  A year or two ago when you'd post you'd simply cut and paste lengthy quotes from those right-wing publications I refer to. 

Don't know why I'm having to tell you this.  I'm having to play your game and that's not a good idea as your rules aren't fair, or truthful some of the time.

Funny how people like to apply today's current political issues to 25 year ago.  Are you old enough to remember our relations with Iran around 1979 and 1980?  The Ayatollah took over and during the 80s they expressed an interest in obtaining nuclear weapons.  So, we had to choose the lesser of 2 evils, Iraq.  You know, last time I checked the world has been fresh out of crystal balls for a very long time.  You like to live in a hindsight is 20/20 world. 

I was talking with a friend who is a field consultant in the oil industry.  He said that it is very possible that OPEC has plans to terminate the US contract on or about March 14 in which the US gets the lion's share of OPEC oil.  He said what will happen is that instead of the US getting the largest supply of foreign oil, that oil will now be distributed to European countries who have gotten only the "leftovers" in the past and will now leave the US to get the "leftovers."  This, combined with decreased domestic drilling, will create higher oil and gas prices in the US. 

He has been out of work since long before Christmas and is now looking at the very real possibility of having to relocate his family to Saudi in order to make a living.  He and his wife are not wanting to take this route, but with the jobs drying up here, it may be his only alternative if he wishes to remain in the oil industry which is the only work he has ever done. 

There is a pipe yard located about 30 miles from here in which there are a lot of drilling towers just sitting on the yard, and that is only one of many such yards in the area. 

So get ready to either pay through the nose for gas or buy a horse and buggy!

I think I posted an article on this further down on the page.

The anti-missle defense in Hawaii is ready with missles that can take out NK's missles without a problem. Anyhow, they don't believe NK has enough fire power to make it to Hawaii. Hawaii is 4500 miles away, while the missle is only supposed to be good for 4000 miles.

Now, Alaska is a different story, but they are also on alert. 

I trust our miliary. I think our country will be safe. S. Korea, though, is another story if he sets off a nuclear warhead like he threatened. That nut keeps telling his people that WE are threatening nuclear war with THEM and have built up the nuclear war defenses on the DMZ.

This is probably ONE of the tests Biden talked about. The other one is Iran.

Wallace's bash-the-media exercise has its merits as a campaign tactic. It certainly rallies the base. But the base won't lift McCain to 50% in November. More importantly, in her smug dismissal of the media's role in asking questions of the candidates, Wallace was really showing contempt not for reporters, but for voters.

they are usually wrong.  Sorry.

capable of making nuclear bomb.  I have been reading about Israel and Iran every day and looks like one of these days we are going to hear a special report that Israel is attacking Iran.  My question is if the US is going to help?  I read Iran would attack the US if US tries to help Israel.  I also read Iran has missels pointed in our direction to hit our oil refineries and power plants in the gulf coast states. 

The first 2 links are about Israel ready to attack Iran.
