A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists between the of 17 and 40.
12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
And Now:
For the award winning
Act of Stupidity
Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet --
The Presidency of the United states of America
A Muslim
Male
Extremist
Between
the ages
of 17 and 40.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???
I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it:
'Stupid
Is
As
Stupid Does.
Hey, I didn't see Tim McV on your list. Doesn't Oklahoma City count?
There are enough stupid people out there of all persuasions. Compiling a list of Muslim terrorists is legitimate, but you should not present it in such a way that someone might think they have a monopoly on terrorism.
The nice thing about our country is that you don't have to cast your vote for anybody in particular. You can vote for McBush or Mickey Mouse or not at all.
I have a feeling that when the votes are in Obama will be our next president. If that happens, you don't have to be happy about it, but you might find it easier to take if you realize that a majority of your fellow Americans did trust Obama.
In case you haven't heard, Obama was never a Muslim. That was a rumor started by an assortment of hateful morons who have no regard for the truth.
Actually Obama is very well known among some segments of our society. For instance he made history when he was the first African American to head up the Harvard Law Review. You have heard of Harvard haven't you?
So where are you at on our current president? Do you trust him? What's you opinion about black people in general? Please don't be shy in sharing your beliefs. I'm sure we would all benefit from your personal sharing with us.

Obama - many muslim ties. Hence being named Barrack Hussein Obama.
Some people wear their ignorance like a badge of honor.
Terrance, I have just given you reliable sites to visit in order to check out your leftist, liberal, racist, anti-flag wearing candidate, Barrack Hussein Obama, who's wife, Michelle, said in February that she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." But again, please name the anti-American, anti-white racist, radical ministers to which Obama's opponent is tied. I have asked you this no less than three times. You are doing a good impression of Obama by side stepping the issue. Remember, you were the one who brought up Obama's opponent when you said that he sought out ministers who were, ".....as offensive as Wright, but not to the same groups necessarily." Who are these ministers?
I think I mentioned Hagee and Parsley early on in this post. I assume you read that. Do you have a problem with comprehension?
The bigotry and stupidity of those gentlemen manifests itself differently. I'm sorry I don't have any "anti-white" ministers to give you. I didn't know that only "anti-white" stupidity counted, but perhaps I should have given the way you present yourself.
Is there a reason you left "communist" off your list? Doesn't that go with the line of invective you are tossing out?
I'm sure you know about McBush's involvement with the Keating 5 and his wife's investment in Keating's business. Somehow you left that off your list of links.
Barack Hussein Obama is an intelligent man. You, on the other hand, can't even spell his name right. Both he and his wife have done more for this country than most. I doubt that you would understand that.

As far as McCain's relationship with Bush and Cheney..for the most part, McCain was the liberal Republican who usually voted with the Dem's. That's why he has such a tough time with the conservative Republicans.
Terrance, get your facts straight. Obama - very liberal and very left wing. He and Michelle are not patriotic (however, he has flip flopped on this and is now wearing an American flag on his lapel..heck, he's probably even putting his hand over his heart while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance). Also, the liberal media does a good PR job on behalf of Obama. Hopefully, the sane and silent majority will be astute enough to see through all of the Obama Hype.
Have a great 4th of July - Independence Day. Try to remember to thank McCain and all of our servicemen (dead and alive) for their sacrifices that have allowed us to celebrate the freedoms which we enjoy today.
There's nothing like a self assured, self righteous person. All that smugness doesn't add anything to your basic understanding of the world.
There's a lot you're not aware of.

Again, please name the radical, anti-american, anti-white racist ministers that are associated with Obama's opponent. We all know that Obama is tied at the hip to Wright. Who is his opponent tied to?
His opponent is tied at the hip to the worst of all - Geroge W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Your knowledge of history leaves a lot to be desired. I doubt you know much of anything about the various black leaders who have emerged since the 1950s. You sound like someone who has very little knowledge on this topic.
What you know about Obama's relationship to Wright may only exist in your mind. I said that McBush had ties to questionable ministers. I did not say that those ministers were anti-white. Wright is not anti-American.
I suspect that many of the people around McBush are about as comfortable with black people as you are. I suspect that you think you're clever too.

Farrakhan--a notorious anti-Semite--endorsed Obama. Hagee endorses McCain. So what? One cannot really help who endorses who. However, I wouldn’t compare Farrakhan with Hagee
Some of you think it pretty sad that the MSM seem afraid to really go after Obama on his relationship with Farrakhan. As I recently pointed out, along with terrorist William Ayres, Obama and Farrakhan are neighbors and the latter's thugs patrol to safeguard his Chicago neighborhood. Will one of you libs now compare this to the Guardian Angels?
OK. Let’s look at the more important things. Look at Obama and his voting record in the 110th Congress, we need someone who will show up! ( http://obama.senate.gov/votes/ )
He said learned the most about foreign relations by growing up in Indonesia from age 6-10?! Seriously!? Those were his very words.
With limited experience in Federal politics, and even less experience with the Military, how can we trust him with our Nation's security?
Your facts are a bit queasy.
Mc Cain is practically glued at the hip to W. Talk about bad judgement?
Please provide your source for Obama's quote about Indonesia.
You need to get past party loyalty to have this discussion.

They are all the same wrote: Terrance, you are absolutely correct. I meant to say Farrankan not Malcolm X. I always confuse the two. Both radicals. Easy mistake. What radical, anti-american, racist (anti-white) ministers are you referring to with regard to Obama's opponet?
Obama has no connection whatsoever to Farrakan. For all those who thought otherwise, he made that eminently clear during a debate with Hillary. McCain sought and got endorsements from Hagee and Parsley. These men are not anti-white, but they are anti a lot of other things.
Considering that Malcolm X was assassinated by the Nation of Islam, it's hard to see how you could confuse anyone in that group with Malcolm X.
When you qualify the particular attributes of a screwball minister, you might let some slip through the cracks. The ministers who McCain sought out and appeared with are as offensive as Wright, but not to the same groups necessarily.

Obama has no ties to Malcolm X. Malcolm died in 1965. Obama was born in 1961. What do you figure Malcolm and Obama were doing during the first 4 years of Obama's life?
I won't even bother trying to discuss Wright with you. How do you feel about all the wacko ministers that McCain has sought endorsements from?

I do not like the quote by Malcolm X (Malcolm Little) (1925-1965), American black power advocate. 1964. "After four hundred years of slave labor, we have some back pay coming."
But, I really like the quote made by Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924), U.S. congressman and U.S. Senator (R-MA), in a shpeech in Brooklyn, NY on December 21, 1888: "Let every man honor and love the land of his birth and the race from which he springs and keep their memory green... If a man is going to be an American at all, let him be so without any qualifying adjectives; and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description." I think that this quote is particularly true today.
How does this apply, in your opinion, to Obama?

I do not like the quote by Malcolm X (Malcolm Little) (1925-1965), American black power advocate. 1964. "After four hundred years of slave labor, we have some back pay coming."
But, I really like the quote made by Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924), U.S. congressman and U.S. Senator (R-MA), in a shpeech in Brooklyn, NY on December 21, 1888: "Let every man honor and love the land of his birth and the race from which he springs and keep their memory green... If a man is going to be an American at all, let him be so without any qualifying adjectives; and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description." I think that this quote is particularly true today.

Not very funny, though.
I guess the issue now is blogger personality analysis?

Mendover was a comic and you all bit on him/her.

Mendavor? A socialist, no, a communist nut job but I never knew him to attack anyone personally, at least not me. He is strangely silent since Hillary lost.

No one was worse than TE, except maybe that Whippacoon character. TE's constant spamming and personal attacks on other posters is what did him in. I don't care what one says about Bush, Clinton, Obama, McCain or anyone else. Being in the spotlight is part of the deal. Personal attacks on other posters is not.

The problem is that those who don't agree with the righties on this panel seem to have to be especially careful about what they say. Righties can say anything they want, and none of you will challenge each other. I know I am usually pretty exact in what I say, but it is amazing how people try to trap me. I DO think there is a difference between saying "GWB acts like an idiot because..." and "GWB is an idiot". One focuses on his actions ,the other attacks a man (and is pretty idiotic. He certainly doesn't have the same intellect as many others, including those he ran against for President or either of the current candidates for president, but he isn't an idiot.)
I wish one would focus on the issues and leave aside personal attacks. If you think McCain is going to be better...tell us why. I get so tired of hearing these attacks (and while most have been against Obama, there have been some BS ones on McCain that have not gotten the same distribution because lefties don't get the same kind of woody from negative stuff).
Look....BOTH candidates will receive the votes of millions of Americans. There is something that the both have that appeals to people, and it is not just their facist/socialist leanings. They are both people who have done more with their lives then any of us here, who know more about government then any of us, and who have a more thought out plan for the future of America then any of us could come up with. I don't agree with the specifics of their plans, but to say that this plan or that plan will "destroy America" is patently untrue. It won't...it may or may not be as good as another plan, but the country will remain.
Are you asking for a cease fire agreement? I'll play. I'll focus on the issues until somebody else decides to get personal. It will be interesting to see how long that takes. Personal would include labeling in any form.

Heaven forbid! Everyone suffered from TE (except maybe Fred). It would be terrible if that cyber Nosferato rose again. If our good webmaster is alert it would only be a matter of time for him to pick up on TE style posting and he takes action. Insult posters wind up getting the boot sooner or later. We have had enough of them. In any event, they style is similar but not quite the same. If you were on these forums long enough you will remember that TE started off mildly too. It was a shame because he had very good information but he just couldn't keep his insults out of his posts. They were sometimes endless, abusive, and annoyingly repetitive. Peace, everyone.
How do you place PTG's posts on the abusive/annoying/insulting scale?

There's no problem with your nose. It seems like those who like to dish it out haven't learned how to handle it.
