While I admire your sate for the mastery of all things you’ve accomplished, truly when I say I misread your previous post, I did. No need to try to belittle me as an enemy. I misread your post, plain and simple. Do you want me to wave a white flag? I.Made.A.Mistake. I wasn’t unprepared to debate you. I just think that from your previous post, you insinuate that conservatives, by way of exploitation, are the cause of terrorism.
You say: “When are conservatives going to realize that exploitation has consequences. That exploitation of American workers motivated the Union Movement. Exploitation of American Blacks motivated the Civil Rights Movement. Exploitation of Native land motivated the Indian Wars. Exploitation is the problem, and terrorism is the reaction.”
Seems like this statement depicts conservatives as the sole cause of terrorism. Do you feel conservatives are the root of terrorism?

The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF). These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas boys will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over within days.
DISCLAIMER: I mean no disrespect to any of our soldiers – I just found this comical.
That trumps any satire I have posted.

<SNIP>
Iraq was becoming the next Afghanistan. There were terrorist training camps and the government openly supported financing terrorists and their families.
<SNIP>
When are liberals going to realize that terrorists hate us and will hate us regardless of if we fight back or not?
Right as Rain imho terrorists, retalliating for exploitation, are not goint to stop as long as the exploitation continues.
I would sure like to have your insight into this terrorism. First off, there is the issue of Israel, the issue of American Troops in the Muslim Holy land and around Mecca, (that's in Saudi Arabia) and the American interference in the governments in the region, and American Corporate recalcitrance, and the poverty that accompanies the exploitation of resources without regard to the people who live where the resources are, there is the issue of Cowboys and Arabs.quote:Originally posted by imho:quote:Originally posted by EdEKit:quote:Originally posted by imho:

Another EdEKit misquote and twisting words:
You are WRONG!
God help you if you believe that terrorists are only lashing out at us because of our actions against them.
Did you support conservatives stand on the Cold War? Were you afraid we might make everyone mad enough to push the button on a nuke attack?
There is responsibility that comes with being a SUPER POWER, and it doesn't include being liberal, cut and run, quitters.

EdEKit,
I think it's a shame that the Army can't fight an abstract entity. If it could, I'd vote "YES!" for a war to defeat ignorance.

We could have a public school system and teach history and basic economics, and perhaps a litte ethics too. We could include the values of Honesty, Integrity, wholesome living, and possibily a little support for doing as Mom and Dad Tell you.
We could put Reading into the curriculum and Mathmatics, with a dose of Civics and Constitution, along with classes on cultural sensitivity, and maybe even a little time on science and the Arts.
But, the Religious right would insist on the ten Commandments, and Creation Science, and ABSTAINANCE. and God only knows what else, and pretty soon there would not be time to teach anything because the students would be arguing that the liberals were controlling the classroom and forcing kids to learn the truth.
Where do you think that little bit of "ethics" you are talking about came from? Same thing for Honesty, Integrity, wholesome living and children obeying your parents?
They did not come from some group of people who said "This is the way we should live." They came from a Supreme Creator who literally communicated to man (who was NOT living this way)that this is the way we are to live.
But, now I've been labeled as part of the Religious Right...and who am I to force someone to learn the truth...

Great post. It is a shame that to speak of anything Biblical makes us the "religious right."
But I don't mind... I am RELIGIOUS, and I AM RIGHT (as are you CWC).
So EdEKit, since you have gone off topic, what is the difference in forcing people to be taught the THEORY of Evolution or be taught SEX Education and forcing people to be taught the Bible, the creation story, and abstinence?
And what in the world is wrong with teaching abstinence? If abstinence is wrong then what exactly is right?
