go back 60 years in history.  Times were different then, the mind set was different, so it is not possible to have any kind of logical comparrison.  However, if he were still around now doing that, then yes, he would be a war criminal.

The amazing thing is that you guys sound just like the extreme jihadists to me.  All you want to do is destroy others and spread your religion.  And for what reasons?  Fear and revenge.  You like to talk about being religious, just like the jihadists, but when it comes to something like revenge or torture, you put that religion aside --that same religion you would have everyone else believe is your life -- and you take your revenge and put it in a box with a bright pink bow to sell it.  That is what I call a blight on humanity.

I remember when I used to be 18 and the world was black and white, and I thought I knew everything.

The older I got, the more gray I saw, and the less I knew.

I figure at this rate, in a few years, I'm not gonna know nuttin!!!  LOL

I know exactly what you mean about screaming out at the TV, too!!! LOL.  (I wonder, if I turned down the sound on the TV and opened the windows, whether I'd hear a bunch of other people screaming, too.)

I still don't know if I can bring myself to watch him.  I just hope that every single soldier, whether seeing him personally at Fort Bragg or watching him on television somewhere, is able to return to their families safely and without injuries.  I have a feeling it's going to be the soldiers who really attract my attention, and I always cry when I see them, knowing how they've been betrayed by their "commander in chief."  Our military deserves much better than "chimpboy."  (Laughing at and agreeing with that term.)

Obama is the #1 most liberal Senator, which you can check.  He leaves Ted Kennedy and the rest in the dust by comparison.  Many Democrats fear him.  John McCain is pro-life, regardless what you think of him.  I'm no cheerleader for McCain, but holy hanna would freeze over before I either voted for or sat idly by over something this serious, and I don't even have kids.

If you want to try to spin it so someone you think maybe, kinda could sorda be for this barbaric procedure, so ahead and either not vote or keep your head in the sand.

My guess is that you could track down this nurse if you really wanted.  It's possible that she could no longer take it and then said "enough."

Like the old saying goes, if you don't vote, then don't complain. 

When is enough enough?

He isn't a white flag waving wimp, he doesn't want to censor the media, he has experience, he can speak without needing a script, though he probably has some questionable associates, none are like the Obama associates, most military people respect him, and most importantly, he is not a Marxist or Socialist hiding in sheeps clothing in order to get everyone to follow him.

like someone posted earlier.  Open. Close. Open. Close.  Then you can read what other posters have to say because new posts are in blue.

1.       Dumps his crippled wife and mother of his children to have affair with wealthy heiress, then turns around to apply for marriage license before his divorce is final. 

2.       Calls his wife C-word.

3.       While speaking at a biker's rally, volunteers his wife as a contestant in the "Miss Buffalo Chips" topless modeling contest, including it's legendary banana competition.

4.       Tries to blame his wife for the Keating 5 scandal when it becomes public.

5.       Screams at and thoroughly humiliates a young pub volunteer who set up his podium at a rally.

6.       Jokes about ape rape and killing off Iranians with cigarettes and "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb."

7.       Describes Arizona's elderly as "seizure world."

8.       Throws temper tantrums, punctuated with the casual use of the F-word. 

9.       Calls fellow senators Aholes and sh-heads. 

10.    Ignites a culture war to get elected. 

11.    Questions the patriotism of his opponent and fails to renounce his supporters who question his faith, endlessly insinuate he lies about it and portray his wife as a militant with hidden agendas to stage a socialist/Black Power takeover of the country.

12.    Embraces endorsement from a pastor who disparages Catholics, women, African Americans, Muslims and LGBT Americans, believes that Hurricane Katrina was punishment from God because "New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God," announced a "slave sale" at the church to raise funds and believes that "the coming nuclear showdown with Iran is a certainty,"

13.    Overlooks the Bush-Rove campaign strategy of unleashing a landslide of racist attacks on him, including calling his own daughter an illegitimate half-black love child, turns around in 2004 to campaign for W's second term, throughout it all supported 9 out of 10 of his disastrous policies that has brought the nation to it knees and then embraces Rove as senior campaign adviser in 2008. 

14.    Stood silently by while fellow war hero/veteran John Kerry was swift-boated without mercy. 

Before any rebuttal ensues that would seek to deny, dodge and deflect, keep in mind that character assassination has been a benchmark of JM's campaign and of his supporters, so no whining allowed.  Finally, this is legitimate inquiry, given that 90% is striving so diligently not to be 90% and has hawked character as his main qualification for presidential leadership. 

salt-of the-earth christian folk, you and your alter egos certainly disdain and/or hate many people.

an email I received yesterday....

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.  The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"  I thought this was the BEST idea....I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,
 
Patriotic retirement:
 
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force - pay them $1 million apiece severance - no tax - with the following stipulations that they must do:
 
1) They must leave their jobs...... Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
 
2) They must buy NEW American cars....... Forty million cars ordered -Auto Industry fixed.

3) They must either buy a house/pay off their mortgage ..... - Housing Crisis fixed.
 
Can't get any easier than that!  Way cheaper than the cost of what's going on now!

The diet industry rakes in the big bucks because it is human nature to look for a shortcut.  A segment of the American public is like this.

Tell somebody they can lose an entire person's worth of weight by drinking some glop for six months and they will buy it.  Tell them that they can learn a foreign language in six weeks by listening to tapes while they sleep, they will buy it.  Tell them they don't need verifiable income or means to repay to buy a house, they will sign anything. 

Tell us we have to actually WORK at something - losing weight, building our credit to get a mortage, whatever, we will just look for the guy who says we don't have to. 

if this had been Bush instead of Obama.....you would be saying that Bush made it worse instead of giving him praise for a job well done.

I admit that I'm glad Obama gave the order to do what was done whether or not it was actually him or others who came up with the plan.  So congrats on that part but to totally praise Obama and no one else is ridiculous.  The brave Navy Seals deserve the majority of the credit for actually doing what was done and risking their lives in the process.

You all cry and whine about us not giving Obama any credit and yet you did not give Bush credit on anything either.  Just goes to show the double standards that goes along with politics. 

Have your taxes gone up since Obama has been in office?  With the exception of cigarettes (which is not an across the board tax), mine have gone down.  In fact, my daughter is getting a huge break now.  She works a full-time job, but because she is also a full-time student she pays absolutely NO fed income taxes.

Taxes are definitely going to go up on the wealthy, in fact, that's what Obama said he would do.  However, as far as those who are not wealthy all I have come across is speculation of what might happen, when in reality the only thing that has happened is that those people have seen a tax reduction.

It's called fearmongering from the right, not based in reality, only based in speculation....which is the case with saying he will tax healthcare.

While parts of this may be from a court brief, they are taken wholly out of context and your entire posting is a cut and paste from a neocon website article.  Time to 'fess up!

Your source of "facts" will always be totally different from the liberal board's source of facts so we are never going to agree on much of anything in general.  SO therefore we cannot debate.
