		<description>&lt;em&gt;Maybe I should also ask why we have an evil one down here in the 50th?&lt;/em&gt;

Because the back-country boobs and the little blue haired casino queens think he&#039;s just the man to keep them safe from the Mexicans.  He&#039;s even gotten Potrero to OK the building of a &quot;training facility&quot; for Blackwater.  They&#039;re going to be doing live fire tests down there in a week or two, to see if the neighbors think it&#039;s too loud.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;.Yet you condemn the United States for going after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11 when Al Qaeda terrorists slaughtered nearly 3,000 innocent people in the span of about two hours? Comment by Exley â€” February 13, 2007 @ 4:57 pm&lt;/em&gt;

Few people condemn America for doing that.  What they condemn us for is the string of criminal acts we&#039;ve done in the name of that.  Such as invading Iraq (an uninvolved party), and rounding up Afghan and Iraqi citizens that most certainly weren&#039;t Al Qaeda before we invaded Iraq, and still likely aren&#039;t.

But nice &#039;strawman&#039; - the construct of the incapable, ineffective and intellectually &#039;deficient&#039;.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;If my country is attacked by a foreign army, and I watch my kids being blown up, my wife beaten, harrased or raped, you can bet I will do the same thing to anyone that looks like the foreign army.

Comment by Juan C â€” February 13, 2007 @ 12:00 pm&lt;/em&gt;

So, Juan, if someone attacked your country and/or committed some type of atrocity against your family and countrymen, you would be justified in attacking those who commited that act.....Yet you condemn the United States for going after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11 when Al Qaeda terrorists slaughtered nearly 3,000 innocent people in the span of about two hours?

Some might you call your stances inconsistent at best...Hypocritical, at worst.</description>

&lt;em&gt;Why are my family members liveâ€™s more valuable that an Iraqi family members liveâ€™s?&lt;/em&gt;

Well, how about this: In the same way that you point an accusing finger at all taxpayers in the U.S. for not stopping Bush from attacking the Iraqis, would you be willing to point a finger at all of the people who paid taxes in Iraq while Saddam was in power and helped support his regime? Are they all hypocrites? Did they all contribute to Saddam&#039;s crimes against humanity by not taking extreme measures to stop him?</description>

&lt;em&gt;Chimpeach insulted me by ASSUMING that I would support crimes against humanity.&lt;/em&gt;

I apologize. I&#039;ve never known anyone to try that before. Good luck with it. I don&#039;t think the IRS will accept the explanation, but that&#039;s part of civil disobedience--taking the punishment.

The point I was making is that most people have some kind of involvement, voluntary or not, in what this country&#039;s military does to innocent people in other countries. I don&#039;t consider taxpayers to be evil people, even by degrees. I do what I can to try to either counteract what the government does with my tax dollars or try to bring a stop to it through political means. But, I haven&#039;t thrown myself in front of any tanks and I haven&#039;t done anything that will increase the likelihood of getting audited by the IRS (I hope).</description>

I have family members in the military serving and the deserve to die with all the other war criminals.&lt;/em&gt;

Since I went to a memorial service for a Navy Corpsman (medic) today that was killed while rendering aid to an Iraqi who was wounded by another Iraqi, I would like to say just one thing:

&lt;strong&gt;COME AND GET ME B*TCH!&lt;/strong&gt;

Oh, wait, you won&#039;t, you are part of the &quot;peace at any price&quot; crowd. Let me guess, they deserve to die but it wouldn&#039;t by your precious little hands. Advocating death is one thing, administering it is another. 

You are one sick F*CK.

I&#039;m off for a while.</description>

		<description>Jan Schakowsky was courageous to speak out against the pompous ass, but her comments were later stricken from the record because she was out of turn.  
She was heard, however, and so was Issa.</description>

		<description>Are you all beginning to see that the Fascist Right has the power to drive your Once-Great Republic into a horror? The Senate was not given a great enough Progressive majority to do anything but obstruct any meaningful reform. The corporate news media is entirely in bed with the Corpora-Fascists running America and all you on these boards are like prisoners  peering out through a crack in the wall at another world. Sure it&#039;s one reality you can see, but you&#039;re still in a prison camp and nothing will change until you physically change it. 
One suggestion, start protesting at the headquarters of the major American television news outlets. Forget about marching in the streets at Washington, or sending letters to your &quot;elected&quot; officials. We are being skinned alive for our wallets by a corporate-capitalist elite who are turning the United States government into a collection agency for the very rich.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Do you give the Al-Quada fighters the same â€œpassâ€ that they are just pawns like the American soliders?
Comment by criticalthinker&lt;/em&gt;

Why not, if you consider them pawns of a sick ideological doctrine, then yes.
