    ohhh i get it now.


    some college students project makes it all so much clearer.





    a question i've asked plenty on here....where were the teabaggers when Bush was in office?


    now they want answers? after $1 trillion wasted in iraq and about that in afghasnistan, entire branches of government created, laws passed to cripple freedom(patriot act), but now spending and freedom are a concern?


    is it because he's got a D in front of his name, his race, what?

    Easy, Jason P. You need to stop defending those right-wing racists, bigots, and wackos...

    Oh wait, they are going to hold seats in Congress after the midterms, huh?

    shocking...and intern for the cato institute conducted a "study" of signs...

    I wonder what her methodology was...

    "A UCLA grad student did an in depth study at last month's tea party rally on 9/12 and cataloged each individual sign. She found that only 5% mentioned the president's race or religion and only 1% questioned his birthplace."

    So 5% of the signs are based on race/religion......and this is a good thing? Still seems high to me :crazy: :wtf:

    Your dollar amounts that you believe we have spent on the war really shows the level of your ignorance. hmmmm, where have I heard that before. :think:

    i love the ads on there, a coupon for "free get rid of one liberal politician" and reading a few of the "articles" on there i think a better name for that site is americanstinker.com..just my opinion based on some of the blogs i read there.

    the articles are written in such a condescending tone...

    I gotta say....I expected a more profesional response from you Gimmie. How about something to show this is not true. This was first posted by msn.com. Which makes me believe it even more....seeing how it goes against their logic.

    eh, iraq was close, i was off on afghanstan. the total is over $1 trillion though and that was my point.



    tha'ts how much these wars cost, we could fund education/ healthcare/ public transportation, any number of things you and I living in this country could benefit from, instead of on murder and haliburton.

    and considering logic, that killing a people doesn't lesson their motive for killing you, quite the opposite, and fiscal responsibility, (large corporations saw a big part of that money), if you're going to pretend to care about americans, starting with foreign wars might be a good place to start.

    Commy, in a way i agree with you. It seems so low to talk about how much the war has cost us( money wise) . It's like putting a dollar amount on human life. But you know where I stand on the Iraqi war. I thank god and bless our fallen troops for giving their lives to get rid of a human Lucifer that was dictating his people on our planet by means of mass murder and chemical genicide. I believe that anyone against the Iraqi war didn't really know what Sadaam Hussien was really about.

    there are more people in iraqi prisons now than there were under saddam, held without trial, representation, rights. many are being tortured terribly, as pepe has shown. he's posted many links of iraq security forces pulling fingernails out, genital electrocution, just terrible things. we didn't save them from a goddamn thing.

    Well, then I guess our work isn't done. Because the way I've always looked at it, if we can't change things like this, then our fallen soldiers are'nt RIP.

    the use and abuse of our soldiers is criminal, they should never have been put in that situation.

    The thing is, there are horrible dictatorships everywhere, why is it the US's job to play World Cop?

    i don't believe we are playing world cop per se, if we were we would be stopping what is going on in darfur and in the west bank..we would be interevening in somalia and pakistan. we are simply more concerned about protecting our own interests and most of the time that involves bombing people or crippling them with sanctions until they fall in to line with what we think is best for them. it is funny how we allow countries to have self determination ONLY when things we need like oil and other resources are not involved...why are we not in darfur? no oil, why are we not in the west bank? we can't interfere with israel because we are their lapdog...why are we not helping out in the fight against the druglords who are murdering government officials in mexico? why ARE we pressuring iran who has shown no intention of taking military action against any of it's neighbors? because we have an interest in that region and can not allow anything to interfere with those interests..

    because i don't have a link to disprove it yet. this was just published...like i can gather all of this research by myself and have a fucking research project done 2 days after publication of this article..... :roll:

    i still stand by my assertion that americanstinker.com is a right wing hack propaganda site...

    i want to know what the methodology of this study was before i say anything. i want to see some numbers and some statistical analysis before i say anything else. because there are certain tests to prove legitimacy of the study, and if those were not run, it brings into question the legitimacy of the findings...
