Plawrence, Plawrence, Plawrence, my man..........Religion IS politics.
Just look at how the Catholic Church was splintered by "Protestants", which then fractured itself endlessly over little details and shit that in the broad picture shouldn't really matter. I mean, Jesus saved the day, got his ass killed by Pagan Romans, came back for a day, and left us until the day that he'll go medievil on my Christian ass for being naughty. Yet its the DETAILS that people pissed at each other.
For instance, why is there a "Baptist" church in America, but as well as a "Southern Baptist" church?
You see, the "Baptist" church itself failed to agree to a unified religious, spiritual, and moral solution in how to deal with slavery. As the country was in its final stages before the American Civil War, the slave-owning southern members of the church, which unsurprisingly weren't comfortable with the northern-abolitionist members who wanted to officially condemn the practice of slavery, split to create the "Southern Baptist" church, which then didn't condemn slavery as immoral until after the war of course.

And my point was to show the type of people that we are fighting here and that part of their beliefs entail killing their own woman. I'm off to work right now but later on I will respond to some of the other things that you stated in your post above. Don Cardi

That's all we need to understand.
Don Cardi That kind of thinking -- de humanizing the enemy...is precisely what causes more terrorism. And Since 9/11 there have been attacks in Spain and the UK. What DC? Since it wasnt in the US that doesnt count? I guess they are animals too. Perhaps the only humans are Americans.

That kind of thinking -- de humanizing the enemy...is precisely what causes more terrorism. Please, spare me your bullshit! It seems to be a standing position within the liberal party to blame everyone else except the terrorists for what's been done. I don't know where you were brought up or how you were brought up, but from where I come from you don't try to embrace your enemy, especially when that enemy has killed those around you and continues to try to kill you and those around you. So please, don't start blaming those who want to defeat terrorism and are willing to face it head on by accusing them of de-humanizing terrorists. :rolleyes: They de-humanized themselves when they blow themselves up in public places, blow up trains and buses, fly planes into buildings and continue to try and cause massive deaths in any way that they can. You want to play the 'humanity' card? Why don't you let some of these animals live in your home? Maybe you can humanize them again. Maybe you should start a "terrorist counseling" program in your neighborhood. And Since 9/11 there have been attacks in Spain and the UK. What DC? Since it wasnt in the US that doesnt count? I guess they are animals too. Perhaps the only humans are Americans. Don't put a spin on what I said. I never said or implied that those in the UK or Spain are animals. How dare you try make a spin like that and to try and paint that kind of picture from what I've written. And as far as attacks in other countries, that was not the issue I was responding to. My response was to attacks within the USA. My point in that post above was to point out that our country has not been attacked since 9/11. My past track record when posting in response to attacks that have taken place in other countries speaks for itself. Everyone here knows damn well that I despise ANY type of terrorists attack on ANY country and it's people. You think that calling them animals dehumanizes them and is what causes more terrorism? Well your another one who's just living in denial. I can't stand that f**king " Let's try to talk to them, let's try to understand them and maybe they'll go away and leave us alone" mentality. It's weak, it's spinelss, it's unrealistic and most of all it resonates cowardice. Your kind of thinking is what has gotten us into this kind of mess because had we had a President in the 90's that would have displayed his b*lls instead of his d*ck, we wouldn't be in the mess that we are in right now.

I have not and did not ever talk about eliminating a 'culture' and I don't believe that the Islamic culture, as a whole, wants to eliminate us When I see the word culture used here, it leads me to believe that one is talking about the Islamic culture as a whole. No one is suggesting that we should eliminate the Islamic culture. Now speaking of extremist/fundamentalist/radical Islamic terrorists, it is my opinion that they are not a culture, nor do they represent a culture. Actually they misrepresent and distort the Islamic culture. So therefore I have no problem whatsover with trying to wipe out these radical Islamic Muslim extremist terrorists. Don Cardi

This is precisely why a lot of conservative Dems are beginning to awaken and leave the Party. They plainly see things the way they are, not the way things "should be" through rose-colored, Utopian shades. It's time we called a spade a spade and dealt with these terrorists using the only language they understand. Thanks for being blunt with the wrong-headed. It's about time we stopped pussy-footing around and apologizing for our patriotism and our desire for feeling safe.

Poor DC. He's been abandoned here to wade through all of this putrescent garbage that has been spouted out here. Allow me to assist you, my friend. Originally posted by plawrence: As long as there are individuals - acting pretty much alone and on their own initiative - who want to engage in these types of actions, I don't see that there is much that anyone - not Clinton, not Bush, not our next president - can do to stop them, short of just getting lucky and simply stumbling upon them. Sure there is. Liberals won't like it, but there are ways. First of all, let's stop cutting the governments throat when it comes to surveillance and intelligence. Holy shit. The NY Times announces to the terrorists when we've got new technology to find them out, and then left-wing groups shout out how its going to be Big Brother watching us and stealing our privacy. Secondly, let's not have another Clinton fire-sale when it comes to human intelligence and covert technology. After the GHW Bush administration left, President Clinton made deep cuts to the intelligence capabilities of this country, which contributed (in part) to 9/11. Let's get more human intelligence, and more R&D to get this people what they need to infiltrate and dissolve these groups from within. Finally, let's be smart about this. We should really stop fucking around with stuff that doesn't concern us. Didn't anyone learn from LBJ's mistake of Vietnam? Okay. We thought Iraq had WMD's. Good. Take out Saddam (and I mean, take him out as in, yes, .22 through the skull) and his sons, get rid of any weapons install a government friendly to the US (ala the Shah of Iran) and leave. Keep the government on a short leash, maybe have them make some reforms, keep the country intact. Don't start a huge fucking war. We also don't need to be pissing on the Israeli situation right now. Our soldiers were slaughtered the last time we were in Lebanon. Let Israel handle their own problems. Besides, its not like we don't give them the arms and such anyways. They're big boys. They can deal with it. They did it to the PLO in the early 80's, they can certainly do it now. Let's use them as our Big Stick in the Middle East, but stop sticking our nose in if we don't want to get punched in the face. That alone would bring down oil prices, and removing a visible US presence would relieve international pressure, as well as allowing our covert teams to infiltrate the terrorist groups easier. Originally posted by dontomasso: Well well well, DC, one of the people you already tried and convicted as a "terrorist" has been let free. I know how these cumbersome and disturbing principles like due process and presumtion of innocence get in the way of your blood lust. Oh, yes. Wow. 1 out of how many? Gee. I guess that's not too bad. Still batting over .500. Now please shut up. Originally posted by dontomasso: George Bush had the chance to get Bin Laden AFTER 9/11 and he blew it at Tora Bora
I guess e was too damn busy getting all the bin Laden Family members out of the country on 9/12 (when all other plabes were grounded, and later holding hands with that Saudi Prince. Right. Because he was standing in the middle of the desert with a big fucking target on his turban, right? Originally posted by Saladbar: The question is are our actions in the Middle East only exacerbating this? Given that terrorism has risen trifold, I say yes. Sure. And that's why I listed the solutions to this problem earlier in my post. But I don't think that our actions in itself have exacerbated terrorism to the extent of trifold, since terrorism has been on the rise in general since the 50's and 60's. But even that won't alleviate the terrorist problem, since it is the oil-driven poverty in these nations that leads to malcontents who mindlessly follow Bin Laden and his fellow manipulators. The young men and women who have no future in these countries because the ruling regimes are corrupt and useless, and economies based soley on oil. Imagine how fucked it will be when the oil runs out. Also, even if the US is gone, they'll still be pissed off at Israel, and want to kill the Jews, and in turn blame us for supporting them. America will always be a scapegoat to these formerly pissant Muslim countries, we just have to stop giving a shit and go back to the Eisenhower formula of covertly "helping" friendly US governments into power to control the disgruntled Muslims. Britain and France are having their own Muslim problems, whic go to show it isn't just the US that has become the scapegoat...rather, Western civilization in general has become the target for these economically repressed, religiously driven malcontents. Originally posted by Saladbar: And, they don't hate us for just the sake of it. They want us to get the fuck out of their region and mind our own business when it comes to Mid East affairs. Despite the hype, they don't necessarily "hate our freedom." They fear that we're trying to eradicate their culture and replace it with ours. (We've done it before, and we can do it again.) Most Muslim men probably don't care that Western women are running around half-naked-- they just don't want their wives and daughters doing the same thing. I think vacating the Holy Lands and areas where Muslims live and worship would be a nice start. Oh, no, I think you're quite wrong, they do hate us for our Westernization in general, and we make very good scapegoats when it comes to the plight of the Middle East. Frankly the "cultural eradication" is coming from them - killing people, knocking down buildings, no good. Then again, any culture with women in cages can't be much of a culture. But hey, live and let live. Which would be fine, if that's what they wanted to do. Unfortunately, they want to kill us. Oh well. Kumbaya. You can't tell me that even if we left, terrorist acts against the United States would stop. Again, I think my aforementioned plan would help, but there will always be these terrorists in one form or another, we just have to be as prepared as possible. Yes, they certainly do hate our freedom. The fuckwits that are attacking us desire one thing - control - over their women, over their people. With the governments as they stand in the Middle East, they don't have it. And so it's by default, our fault - one way or another - for supporting Israel, for buying their fucking oil, whatever.

Blah, blah, blah. Last time I checked, Clinton had a dick, and some balls (at least Monica said so). He should grow some. They were Clinton's cuts, not Newt Gingrich's. Especially knowing what a hawk Gingrich is, stop spinning the issue and, as DC said, "spare me your bullshit." Clinton is gone for six years, but when 9/11 happened, he had only been removed since 2000. So 1-2 years, give or take. Not much time to rebuild all the human intelligence and covert ops we'd lost. And the moron in the White House has done more to encourage terror? Gee, let's all forget Somalia and all the other goodies like not killing Bin Laden for starters. Maybe if he wasn't busy ejaculating on ugly Jewish interns, Clinton could have stopped the grassroots of Muslim terror. BTW - his Middle East peace program turned out well too, didn't it? Originally posted by dontomasso: They do not hate us for our freedom. They do dislike our western ways (somewhat) but there's a lot of Arabs who come to this country and Europe and they cant take those clothes off fast enough, nor can they slam down a few cocktails as soon as their feet are on our soil. That stuff will take care of itself. You're lumping two separate entities - Islamic fundamentalists and people who are Muslim - into one group. Islamic terrorists hate us for our freedom, power, and Westernization. Immigrants who come here who happen to be of the Muslim faith obviously find our freedoms to be favorable, or else they wouldn't come here. In the future, please make a clear distinction rather than a mass generalization. The real root of the hatred is that the countries from which the terrorists come are un by bad, corrupt governments who brainwash them from the time they are small children into thinking their miserable existence is directly caused by the US.

As long as this goes on...as long as it is permitted (i.e. Bush holding hands with that Saudi fuck) That whole region will be a breeding ground for terrorists. Actually, as long as America still exists, it will be going on, since a.) Israel is one in the same in their eyes and b.) they know we need their oil. Best©, Double-J

You're right. They don't want their wives and daughters doing the same thing as westernized woman. They'd rather have them do this : EXCLUSIVE: BABY BOMB By Susie Boniface And Michael Duffy A husband and wife terror team planned to sacrifice their baby as part of a plot to blast transatlantic jets out of the sky, detectives fear.
Police probing the planned terror outrage are investigating an alleged gruesome plan to use the young baby as a "decoy".
They believe the man may have wanted to take his wife and child on board a flight and she was prepared to sacrifice her baby in the deadly suicide strike.
Cops believe they would have hidden deadly chemicals in the baby's milk. The grim discovery is behind the decision to make all mothers taste their baby's milk before boarding flights to make sure it has not been contaminated.
Detectives are horrified at the prospect the terror suspect could have been prepared to kill his own family.
Last night a high-ranking intelligence source said: "This takes things to a horrifying new level. It is truly horrific that a man may have been ready to blow up his wife and she was prepared to let her child die." Sickening. The thought of someone, especially a parent willing to sacrafice their own baby for the sake of Jihad and hatred is just disgusting. Ooops! Here I go again! I'd better be careful what I say because according to some people here I might offend the terrorists with my words and " de-humanize " them which may cause them to want to sacrafice their own babies for the sake of Jihad which translates into a sick and hateful crusade against us infidels. :rolleyes: JIHAD THIS  Don Cardi

It just makes me curious. I mean, if you shared a characteristic with a well known person - I dunno, let's say you had a Masters Degree in Crop Fertilization - and someone, in writing about that well known person, cited the fact, to the exclusion of all others (and that fact had notrhing whatsoever to do with the story in which the person was being described), that this well known person had a masters Degree in Crop Fertilization, mightn't you say.... "Hey....He has a Masters Degree in Crop Fertilization. So do I! I wonder why the author chose to mention that fact."

You are way out of line with that comment Don T. And I take complete offense to your making a remark about a Holy day such as Easter. You've generalized the situation instead of taking what was posted here and addressing it one on one. There is absolutely no reason for you to generalize and attack another religion in response to ONE person's post, I am very very surprised in you as I thought that you were above these cheap shot religious remarks. JJ made a reference to Monica being Jewish, and Plaw addressed it without generalizing or taking any cheap shots at any other religion. But you decide to respond to JJ's post by offending others here, who may not even agree with what JJ posted, by generailing another religion and making an ignorant remarkl. Taking a general shot at another religion is totally uncalled for. I am really really surpirsed at you on this one. Don Cardi

"curious comments about Jews?" Please show me one time when I've been hateful or spiteful towards Jews. Please. I've (repeatedly) defended their right to exist in Israel, and have a great deal of respect for the Judeo-Christian community. So, once again, to paraphrase DC, "please spare me your bullshit."

The problem is that the Cold War was already ending with Reagan in office. Yet, the first Bush administrations cuts were simply trimming the fat - the Clinton cuts severely limited our intelligence capabilities (specifically human and covert ops), and simply added to the buereaucratic clusterfuck that made for zero useful communication between agencies and left us vulnerable to 9/11. Again, as I've said in the past, I don't hold Clinton single-handedly responsible for 9/11.

Perhaps I used a reference to Ms. Lewinsky's Jewish heritage because it as one of the more defining and well known characteristics used in describing her? I mean, I did mention she is an intern (well known) and that she blew the President (well known), don't see why the Jewish issue is such an...issue. Oh well. Maybe Hillary had better taste when she was fooling around with a Catholic assistant to her husband, whom later committed suicide. In addition to Willie Horton, also sounds like the exciting Gannett rule that they had to feature a minority in every story they had in their television news coverage. Cheers, Double-J

Originally posted by plawrence: Not all of those terrorists that you mention, DC, were part of organized terror groups or terror operations.
That may be so, but even those like the Brooklyn Bridge killer, are products of the radicalized speaches and teachings of the IslamoNazi doctorine. Although the murder of that young jewish boy was classified as a homocide, it was later found that the shooter's actions were a result of his feelings on Middle Eastern politics. His ingestion of radical speaches and anti-jewish sentiments taught by those radicals provided a motive for his attack. Statements uttered by the leaders of Islamic radical movements who try covering themselves with religious legitimacy have far reaching influence over many sympathizers and therefore cause a person, who while they may not be part of a terrorist organization in name, to commit acts of terror. So no matter how you slice it, it comes up as an act of terrorism. Don Cardi

Cheers, Double-J [/b][/quote]Easy there big fella....in fact one of the BJ's did occur on Easter and it was the subject of a Bill Maher joke which I lifted from him in my post. As a practicing Roman Catholic, I have reverence for that day, I was just pointing out another irrelevant factoid that had been left out of the discussion. While we are on the subject of trashing religions, I have seen some pretty horrible generalizations about Muslims from some posters (not from you DC) but I dont see much outrage when that happens.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
