Quote by: Clarence Quote by: dsanthony No, not gone. Waiting for an intelligent post to respond to. The invective and hysteria of the posts I read are nonsensical. Libs have for years said that anyone who disagrees with them is, by (their) definition, automatically a nazi or a racist. I'm not rising to the bait. I laid out specifically the actions which amount to treason. "Dissent" was not among them... though I would say that protesting a war while we have troops on the ground IS anti-american. It doesn't rise to the level of treason though... There's plenty to reply to. For one, I'm not a lib. Maybe you could classify me as a new sort of redneck liberal. I'm a registered republican thankyou. I appreciate that you consider my post intelligent enough to respond to. However; I'm the only one not trying to debate you just belittle you in return for your lack of respect for america's ideals. I have a feeling you got nothing and are a chikenshit to boot. See? unbacked claims don't belong in a debate forum. Don't paint with such large brushes. It really gives a nasty stench and reveals your obvious lack of intelligence/insight. To straighten things out. I consider you an imperialist not a nazi. The only one baiting here is you and now me. The rest of the responses are bites to your bait. You don't have a sound bite to regurgitate so you avoid the questions. pussy. typical for your kind. It's comforting to know that my enemies are weak souls even if they have us patriots in a spot, currently I can tell debating is not your speed. I don't like debating either, personally. I just chime in when my services are needed. So go on say something...anything. It's o.k. You don't have to use big words or even links to debate if you try. Don't let these blowhards scare you away. If you believe what you say, you should have a response for each and every one of them. But, right now the ball's in your court. You went and accused me and others of being unamerican. So back it up. I'll start with a question you can answer specifically. The war on terror is a war which, by definition, could never end. So, in your opinion, when is the appropriate time to protest the handling of said war?

Your invective is neither witty nor intelligent enough to be bait. Fodder maybe, not bait.

An imperialist? That's funny. There is no American Empire. Actually, Hussein was the imperialist, who murdered the Kurds and Shiites in his country who threatened his realm, then moved against his neighboring country to expand his empire. The war to repel him from Kuwait never ended... only a cease-fire was imposed with the UN Mandate that Hussein comply with weapons inspectors. For 8 years under Clinton he played cat and mouse with the inspectors. Remember the constant violations of the no-fly zone? Remember Clinton's pussy-like realiatory strikes? Fact is, whether it's the Lebanon border or Iraq, the UN imposes paper mandates then sits back and watches while they are regularly violated. They are as impotent as the League of Nations.

The US did not overthrow Hussein to acquire an empire. They overthrew him because he was a dangerous dictator who threatened the peace of the world.

As for the "war on terror"... you are a liberal whether you know it or not. Weakness drips from your words. The first WTC attack, the bombings of two US embassies and the bombing of the USS Cole happened under your prez's watch, and he treated them as "crimes"... Weak. The war on terror is real and was not begun by Bush. You're saying so marks you as either a liar, or anti-American.

For the rest... yawn. You are not a match for anyone above a fifth-grade reading level. I disagree with Bush on many things, vocally. But, regarding national security, the country must speak as one voice. Yes, the NYT and others have gone beyond dissent into criminality and treason.
