Call me whatever you want to, but at the end of the day I want you to remember this. I have seen the faces of the men, women and children that have been liberated or given humanitarian aid by US and allied forces.

So have I. Here's one:

Just as I thought, an EDITED picture. You see a person in uniform. You assume it's a person in the US military because you chose to EDIT the picture yourself or select one that was already EDITED. You dont know the whole story with that picture because if you did you whould have added it. Why dont you put up the pics of the civilian contractors that are beheaded or the Iraqi women and children that were raped and slaughtered by Saddam Hussien. You are exactly like the newspapers and television shows that take excerpts from a presidents speech and edit it to make it sound so ignorant and unbelievable. You should be ashamed of yourself. If a democrat does get elected in this next election and people are sent off to wars and die like in Iraq and Afghanistan I cant wait for the hypocratic people like yourself to blame the president whom you have chosen.

Like this one better? Liberated children in Haditha

And you're barking up the wrong tree if you came here to find a bunch of die-hard Democrats to argue with. The vast majority of the posters on the left have little or no use for the Democratic Party, and you'll find ample evidence of that as you read through various threads. Sure, I'd take 50 years of Clinton over another week of Bush if those were my only two options, but that says more about Bush than it does about Clinton or about my political affiliations ... I didn't vote for either one of them.

His point still stands though. Many people here are quick to pull up whatever picture/video suits their own political viewpoint…without pausing to give serious thought to where the picture came from, what the circumstances were, who is in it, or any other important consideration.

Innocent people died under Clinton's Presidency also. So while we might not be dealing with a lot of people who are die-hard Democrats…we are dealing with a lot of people here who continually vote FOR Democrats. It will be interesting to see if many of the liberal voices here are as loud in the future about war atrocities and social disconnect if a Democrat gets elected to office…especially if that Democrat sends us to war.

First off, If you didnt vote then you should have no reason to to argue with the war or anything. You obviously dont care about education, lower healthcare costs or prescriptions drugs. Your name pretty much sums it up. Let me guess you want to legalize pot? As I said in my previous statement the picture you provided had no such explination of the situation except your title YOU wrote. It was just a picture with nothing to explain it's orgin or where a story could be found with it. You also said you would take 50 years of Clinton over a week of Bush. Clinton did nothing for this country except make Hollywood CA, The Whitehouse and the porn industry have one thing in common ...a SEX SCANDAL! But then again you didnt vote so it makes it okay. Well when we do get another democrat in office and everyone is in their little commune and everyone has become so PC that we have to "walk on eggshells" when were talking about one's race or nationaly Im sure it'll will be a lot easier for Kim Jong Ill and his other "Democratic" Peoples Army to come over here and take over since none of the money went to our national defense.

Thanks for the comment. All I know is that there is no one correct party who will restore America, it takes sacrafices on both ends. And when the two are too stubborn to see whats right, things get fucked up!

This is why people should lurk for a while and get to know who they're talking to before they start shooting their mouths off.

Clinton was not the only guy running in '92 or '96, nor Bush in '00 or '04. I'd be interested to hear your logic behind your assumption that because I did not vote for them, I did not vote at all. In fact, I have not missed a single primary or general election since turning 18 in 1980.

If you'd like to search for my old posts, I think you'll be satisified that I do ineed care a great deal about health care, education and prescription drugs. In fact, I think I've posted more on those topics than on any others.

My name was a joke given by a friend. It replaced my old Pearl Jam related name. I do think pot should be legalized, although I don't smoke it myself. I have met several people on this board in person, and I think they'd all agree that I'm no hippie.

I'm going to have to address the rest of your nonsense tomorrow, since my daughter needs to use the computer, and it's getting late anyway. See ya then!

Outstanding! Im going to put on my uniform and help some people today. But I'm going to carry my weapon with me just incase someone over here who has decided that ALL Americans(even you who oppose this war) are evil and should be killed. God forbid but if I do die I hope EV wont mention it in another song of his, that just makes people more pissed off in general.

Right! Because anything which you don't happen to agree with, or which doesn't fit your conservative outlook, must necessarily be a fabrication.

I wish I were a die hard Republican. It seems that the world would appear so much more simple and black and white through Republican eyes.

Democracy at the barrel of as gun hey.

Sounds like a totalitarian dictatorship to me.

As an aside, if you were at home, in the US, and we were invaded, and occupied, by a nation that thought our system was corrupt and wrong, which it evidently is, and they proceeded to hold a gun in your face in the name of reedom, would you hate those people and do all you could to get them the f*ck off your land?

I sure as hell would.

Good luck out there and all that, but most of all good luck with your future. It is only you who has to live with the things you do in the name of a piece of cloth and an ideal that was bastardised long before you were born. Only you wil have to assimilate, reconcile the horrors you see and perpetrate with the simple fact those horrors are only happening for another's profit.
