DISQUS

It is really a shame that people like you are so clueless about who, and what we are fighting.

Brandon, I encourage you to help me understand then instead of just posting a one sentence comment. I am always open for debate.

Let's talk.

I personally am not in agreement with Bradon, because i think bush and company need to understand the fact that they had made several mistakes be it Iraq or something else

Maybe he can't explain it any further because there's no substance to his view. Unum your so open minded and non-confrontational. I don't mean that as an insult I just am amazed when someone leaves a rude comment and your able to respond so pleasantly.

I know exactly who I'm fighting, his name is John Kuhl but is better known as Randy. He's my representative in the house. He represents me and I dislike how he is voting therefore I'm doing what I can to change his mind, that is my fight, but he is not my enemy I have no enemies.

If you were talking about terrorists, what makes you assume I want to fight them? They're violent and at least a little crazy, I don't feel like getting killed because of some government policy that I had nothing to do with. Of course they feel the same way, but I can fight no-violently and get results, they cannot, although they probably should have tried it before going straight to violence.

Quote from above: "It is really a shame that people like you are so clueless about who, and what we are fighting."

Oh yeah? What "we" are fighting FOR, and what Bush will never give up fighting FOR is O I L.

Hey Kigore, I have the same problem in Texas. Being a conservative state, I have to deal with Republican representatives who by all accounts are emotionally dug in and committed to their ideology. There is no way they can see the situation differently. Matter of fact, they would rather see Liberals just disappear than have to deal with them. They are delusional ideologues. Just look at Bush's latest news conference about Iraq. He is not going to leave Iraq no matter what Petraeus says, no matter what the people want or no matter what the Democrats want.

This is why I didn't respond to Brandon. He is one of those people. It's like tying to debate with a Christian or any other devout religious person. They have a deep emotional commitment to their beliefs. I find it disgusting.

And Stan, you are right about our national interest being OIL. But when it comes to Bush, he is following a higher authority. He truly believes God has commanded him to give freedom to oppressed nations and this means at any cost. So, he'll never give up because he is following a higher ecclesiastical power that will assure him (in his mind) a seat next to God.

Could there be any higher authority...not in Bush's mind. So, screw Petraeus, screw the American people and screw Congress, he's stopping at nothing. All I can say is we are stuck because the Dems don't have the political guts to do anything about it. And, the will of the people can only be expressed every 4 years. Like I said, we are stuck and I don't like it.

OH you can express yourself more than once every four (or two) years. I never though protests could have any influence but considering that we've scared my Rep into packing a gun I think its safe to say he's noticed us.

In Texas it would probably be a sign of weakness not to carry a gun.

I know what you mean about "debating"/yelling at fundies theres no point, other than for fun, ie: masochism, maybe a little sadism too. Although if you want to see some crazy ones search for Baptists for Brownback 2008, it might be the best parody ever, but I think its real and frightening, and hilarious.

I can't decide if bush is in earnest when he speaks about his religious convictions, the truth is I don't care what his motives are anymore there are no ends that justify these means.

Stan Nodvik · 2 years ago

Kilgore-- I don't think anyone or anything can stop a dry-drunk like Bush, not even himself, from his f-i-x-ation. As for religion, I'm very curious how Bush knows he's talking with God and not with the Devil? They both must "exist" for him. If one exists, then the other exists too! For him!

Unum · 2 years ago

That's the danger in religion Stan. It trumps everything else. When one thinks they are doing God's bidding, then everyone and everything else doesn't matter.

That's why Bush is so composed and confident. He is not rattled at all by all the criticism and scorn. In his mind, he is 100% right and nobody is going to get in his way. That's why he he can lie, cheat and steal and not be accountable for anything. Because in the end, he is only following orders from above. What higher authority is there?
