Who's Counting

Ciao,
I am a very conservative person. You're not going to change a liberal's opinions by badgering and name calling. That should be left to them. Just a thought.

Freedom of speech and we can all express ourselves as we like. It is unfortunate that this thread contains primarily ignorant liberals that try to be ass-kissing, politically-correct mindless humans. Why don't you guys go into politics, I am sure you could make this a better world for us all. It is embarassing that you people have any affiliation with Florida or any presence in our beloved South.

I am actually very conservative but find the current state of our international affairs appalling. When Bill Clinton lied (whom I can not stand), Republicans wanted him hung. Now that George Bush has lied, it is to "protect our freedoms"! It is a big crock of s#@#! They both should have been impeached!

I am confused. What has Bush lied about?

Bush is a babbling moron. I voted for him if that tells you anything.

you people? as in the community of sowal folks from all over the country who represent a very wide range of views and beliefs? listen, if you can't see that Bush has brought harm to the country and world, then I guess it would be hard for you to participate in any intelligent discussion here. it really isn't even liberal v. conservative at this point.

war in our age and time is just so ignorant.

He has mislead us into a war for the wrong reasons. Why do you think we are in IraQ? We were told it was becausae of "Weapons of Mass destruction" or wait, no it was to get rid of "Saddam", no wait it was, "war on Terror". My bet is he is unsure of why were are there. Why are we in Iraq? Would someone please help me here and explain why they feel we are there. I will listen. Please remember the people of Iraq had nothing to do with 911.

That your old enough to vote? Who'd of thought.

I was under the impression that Congress (both Republicans and Democrats) voted to send us to war based on the intelligence reports about Iraq's weapons and the fact that Iraq would not comply with the UN resolutions. If the intelligence reports had been ignored by the Bush administration and an attack had occured as a result, Bush and his administration would have been held accountable. I guess I just feel to say that he lied and should be impeached when Congress approved it is wrong.

I pray for President Bush and for our troops every day. There is no doubt that this war is a terrible mess and the stakes are incredibly high. The terrorists want nothing more than to kill every one of us and if Iraq is left in a shambles I fear that they will be successful.

Just my 2 cents for whatever that is worth.

A point about the military point of view in itself... The military is designed to make soldiers. It breaks down a person's social mentality in regards to "normal" society and turns men & women into soldiers. That is the point of the military and that is the result. It's simply & blatant socialization. This does not just happen to the soldiers but also the family, including spouses and children. Military life is not life like the rest of us know. Military personnel & their families live, breathe, eat & s*** military values. So, they truly believe what they are saying is to be 100% true. They can't help it or they wouldn't survive. Literally.

I have a great deal of my family in the Army, including the Commanding General of the Third Army, Lt. Gen. Steven Whitcomb. I love him dearly, but I also look at him and go, "D***! He's a killing machine!" And my Aunt Cathy, his wife, is going to have culture shock coming back into the "real world" after so many years of military life after he retires. (This is probably why I turned into a liberal & somewhat of a hippie. Only my late Grandmother & I were liberals in the family. We learned to keep our mouths shut.)

The only reason that I am saying all of this is that each of you is simply doing this when you are trying to reason with CiaoBella or anyone else who justifies their views from a military point of view.

BTW, there is actually a class at UGA called The Sociology of the Military. It was a very depressing semester.
