For someone with a blog server that runs at a speed of a 386, cartoon boy has some nerve bringing up Dell’s technology problems.
And for being a member of an ideology based on not searching Arab males because of the hurt feelings that may result, it sure does seem odd that a pinko could draw our airport security as naïve.
If Muslim males can’t control their urge to kill the rest of us, the only airplanes they should EVEN see are B52 Stratofortresses flying over their caves.
It is typical of liberalism though, mandate the most ridiculous rules in the world and then blame Bush for everything being so stupid.
Can we racially profile now, Mikey? Is that what you want?

Some people think this war is a joke.
The written transcript is wrenching, the tape difficult to listen to more than once. “Are they going to be able to get somebody up here?” Mellisa Doi, 32 years old, celebrated her last birthday two weeks beforehand, asks. “Of course, ma’am. We’re coming up for you,” the female operator replies. Later on, as smoke thickens at Doi’s location, the 83rd floor of the South Tower, her desperation rises. “I’m going to die, aren’t I?” she says. “No, no, no, no, no,” the operator says. “Ma’am, say your prayers. You’ve got to think positive because you’ve got to help people get off the floor.” Melissa Doi’s words are heard only for about four minutes of the 24-minute tape.”Ma’am, stay calm,” the operator gently repeats again and again as she tries to comfort Doi, even as her words are met only with a chilling silence on the other end of the line.-NYSun

But some have argued that the West has gone too far in its humanitarian concerns. Is it any more virtuous to stand idly by — as the West did in Bosnia and Rwanda — and do nothing during a genocide? Where is the virtue in allowing Hezbollah time to regroup and rearm? Perhaps the debate should be whether the West is becoming too nice or too wimpy? “We are perceived,” writes pundit John Derbyshire, “as a soft and foolish nation, that squanders its victories and permits its mighty military to be held to standoff by teenagers with homemade bombs…”-AmericanSpectator

Then there is moaning that the West treats its Muslim immigrants unfairly, despite evidence to the contrary. After all, Muslims build mosques and madrassas all over Europe and the United States; yet Christians cannot worship in Saudi Arabia or have missionaries in Iran. Western residents or immigrants in most Arab nations would not dare demonstrate on behalf of Israel. But in Michigan last week, largely Arab-American crowds chanted “Hezbollah” — despite that terrorist organization’s long history of murdering Americans.-RealClearPolitics

For more than a month, nearly a million Israelis were trapped in air raid shelters, while the devastation accumulated above them. What would have been a proportionate response? Should Israel have lobbed a few thousand bunker-busters casually into Lebanon’s villages and towns? If they had done that, would the Jew-haters and Jew-baiters of the world have shut up?-RealClearPolitics

Mel Gibson is a Jew-hater, but the president of Iran is not?! For, as Wallace later said, he found Ahmadinejad an “impressive fellow,” “attractive,” “smart as hell,” “savvy” and “rational.” Wallace, the intrepid reporter, apparently smitten by what he perceived as Ahmadinejad’s charm, poise and carriage, refused to call the president an anti-Semite!-TownHall

This is how ridiculous the United States is for not drilling for oil or using nuclear power:
The same brutal heat that kept air conditioners running in late July and early August pushed up the price of natural gas across the country as power companies fired up their natural gas-fueled plants to meet the extra demand.-AJC

Andy/Whiner— your hatred for America and its Constitution is a burning fire for you, huh? Our freedom of speech is one of the things that makes us different from other countries. That’s why we allow Arab-Americans to march in our streets and say what they want about Hezbollah. That’s also the reason why your friends in the KKK are allowed to say the ugly things they say. But it seems that if you had your way about it, it would only be the voices of the KKK and their ilk that we’d be allowed to hear, yes?

The insurgents must be in their last, last, last, last, last, last throes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 — The number of roadside bombs planted in Iraq rose in July to the highest monthly total of the war, offering more evidence that the anti-American insurgency has continued to strengthen despite the killing of the terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Along with a sharp increase in sectarian attacks, the number of daily strikes against American and Iraqi security forces has doubled since January. The deadliest means of attack, roadside bombs, made up much of that increase. In July, of 2,625 explosive devices, 1,666 exploded and 959 were discovered before they went off. In January, 1,454 bombs exploded or were found.

Hey w000t, be careful what you ask for:
Both its low form of girly magazines and punk rock as well as its impressive literature, art, commerce and technology now saturate the world. And why not? American radical individualism appeals to the innate human desire for freedom and unbridled expression. Westernization subverts most hierarchs, especially in the reactionary world of Islamic fundamentalism, where the mullah, family patriarch or state autocrat can’t keep a lid on it. Instantaneous communications have also brought to an insecure Middle Eastern society firsthand views of how much wealthier, freer and more tolerant the outside world is when it is democratic and transparent.
They hate us because we are not in the 7th Century like they are.

Wrong!: Pictures of the late Ayatollah Khomeini have been allowed to proliferate in Sadr City and pro-Iranian figures in the movement have been given positions of authority.[8] Muqtada al-Sadr visited Iran to attend events commemorating the fourteenth anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini’s death on June 4 and spent a week meeting with top Iranian officials, including Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the head of the judiciary, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi He was also reported to have met secretly with Qasim Suleimani, the commander of the Qods Brigade (a special external department within IRGC intelligence).

“1) Are you advocating the United States be forcefully brought under Islamic Sharia law?” Oh, yes, defiantly….
What I’m trying to get through to you is that maybe we have ourselves to blame for the hatred of the United States some Muslims share. We go into their countries, take their oil, meddle in their governments, sit on their “Holy Land”, and kill their people and for what? It’s all about oil. In 1953 we (the CIA) helped to over throw the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, because he nationalized his countries oil industry. Britain became upset with the nationalizing of the oil company and placed a massive embargo on Iran putting further pressure on Iran’s fragile economy. Britain then came to the United States looking for help. So we declared Iran a communist state. The prime minister was replaced by an even more oppressive government which eventually led to the Iranian Revolution.
Fast forward to 1980 and Iran and Iraq go to war with Iraq and Saddam getting backing from the United States and other Western Governments. This was done because we feared that Iran would export its Islamic Revolution to other Middle Eastern nations. President Ronald Reagan decided that the United States “could not afford to allow Iraq to lose the war to Iran”, and that the United States “would do whatever was necessary and legal to prevent Iraq from losing the war with Iran.” We began to sell Iraq equpiment, conventianal and chemical weapons and gave them intelligence to support the war on Iran. Twenty-four U.S. firms were involved in exporting arms and materials to Baghdad. Donald Riegle, Chairman of the Senate committee that made the report, said, “UN inspectors had identified many United States manufactured items that had been exported from the United States to Iraq under licenses issued by the Department of Commerce, and [established] that these items were used to further Iraq’s chemical and nuclear weapons development and its missile delivery system development programs.” He added, “the executive branch of our government approved 771 different export licenses for sale of dual-use technology to Iraq. I think that is a devastating record.” citation“>http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/arming_iraq.php)

Our best bet as a country is to develop new technologies and get them to the market as quickly as possible. That’s what the US used to be about was innovation, and we need to be known for that again.

Ok, for my earlier post, “we buy their oil…” so your panties don’t get all in a knot.

Well, “Islamofascism” isn’t really the correct term to use in this context. However, Sharia Law which Islamofascism is based off of is better used. Sharia Law did not start to develop until the 19th century due to a changing world from agricultural to industrial economies and the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Even the word “Islamofascism” did not appear to 1990. So relatively speaking this is a new term. Islamofascism or Sharia itself did not come to be without the direct intervention of Western cultures.
If you don’t care for the truth then don’t ask for it.

RW, Bush LIED, plain and simple. He said Saddam and Iraq had direct connections to Al-Qaeda. Months later he “clarified” that he didn’t remember making a statement like that. He said there were WMDs which there were none. How many more people have to die for all these lies? How much more money has to be spent on his lies? They said there was no chance of civil war, and yet a top military official stated that was his greatest fear, that the country would slide into a civil war.

Saddam and Iraq had many documented connections to Al Qaeda. Go back to 1998 and find out why Clinton bombed the aspirin factory in Sudan for a start.
There have been many things found in Iraq that would kill lots of people, including you if you want to take possession of them for storage. Call them what you want, but dead is dead.
Iraq itself may end up being our downfall if we keep listening to you losers that want to call it a distraction and get out. It may also be our downfall if we listen to Republicans that think it is simply a war in one country. This is a regional war and we need to start fighting it that way.

There were many of the predictably ridiculous and juvenile after hours comments, but this one really stands out:
“Many people may have bought new cars, as Buy Danish brilliantly points out”
Really, RW. Brilliantly? And danish in the same sentence?!! Your threshold for brilliance is obviously terribly low. Not much of a surprise there though.
But whatever the reason, it’s nice that there are so many fewer of those I Suck for W stickers (except apparently in suck’s posh neighborhood or again, in his delusional mind).
A bit more surprising is ricky’s twisted logic and hatred for the mooslims in Michigan. I’ve never defended Dearborn, unless you can point that out to me. All I’ve done is call a spade a spade, or in your case a bigot a bigot. Looks like you’ve joined that christofascist club. Congratulations! All you’re lacking for full membership now is Dusty and @@.

RW, this was over TWO YEARS AGO:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ID/3909150/
“Secretary of State Colin Powell reversed a year of administration policy, acknowledging Thursday that he had seen no “smoking gun [or] concrete evidence” of ties between former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida.”
“The “most problematic area of contact between Iraq and al-Qaida were the reports of training in the use of non-conventional weapons, specifically chemical and biological weapons.” Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been present in Baghdad, and an al-Qaeda affiliate organization that identified itself as the “sworn enemy” of Saddam Hussein had operated in northeastern Iraq in an area under Kurdish control. There was no evidence proving Iraqi complicity or assistance in an al Qaeda attack. The report criticized the CIA for its lack of human intelligence resources in Iraq to assess the country’s ties with terrorism during the time prior to 2002.”

In just 12 hours we can deliver & install the security which you desperately seek & need; and all within the confines of a liberal’s salary.
Just think about it. If you’re down in your bunker, can the government find you to pay those taxes to support this war? Nope. You can hunker down & opt out in a comfortably temperate bunker installed by professionals at a minimal cost of only $10,000.00. Now that’s a real savings when comparing value.
Yessiree, a bunker is the way to go for all you liberals. Financing is available through the RNC. Be the first in line for your Israeli style bunker. If you’re unable to qualify for financing, then move to Israel. Bunkers there can be purchased on a time share plan. When the Jihadists are quiet, you can cozy up in an Israeli bunker. When they’re wreaking havoc, you’ll be asked to evacuate so that you can get acquainted with the enemy.
Come on down to see us at “Bunkers R Us” today.
