It did provoke Spurius Ligustinus’ spot on analysis of the Democrat mindset. It may have been off topic, but it was an awesome post, and I was glad to have read it. If BOB’s trolling keeps civilized smackdowns like this coming I’m all for letting him stay…

I’m just doing the best I can with what little I have.

Regards,

BoB has yet to post anything that constitutes an honest attempt at debate. I think all but maybe one early post from him is nothing more then troll bait. I know I am just as guilty as he is at posting off topic diatribes, and I have been trying to cut back. But all BoB’s post do is derail any talk on a subject. Just curious.

I think the white flags are an interesting idea, will the web page also let us send fish to the NYT’s?

RH

multiple polls show the majority [53%] want a pullout and exit timetable as well.

you guys should pass a constitutional amendment banning numbers

Better off Blue, I find your attempts to stiffle and crush Bryan’s freedom of speech profoundly disturbing. America was founded on the rule of law and respect for minority rights. Your attempt to impose some sort of mob-majority rule indicates a lack of respect for our sacred freedoms enshrined in our bill of rights. Bryan’s speaking Truth to Power like he is is a sign that he understands that dissent truly is the highest form of patriotism. I fear that your knee-jerk, mob-rule mentality is just the sort of threat to our freedoms that our fore-fathers so rightly feared.

Better Off Blue, I must take offense at your attempt to impose your narrow, views upon the constitution with your calls for “numbers ban” amendment. Better Off Blue, for the past two centuries, our civil liberties have been expanded and protected by our constitutional ammendments. Yours would be a chilling step back, and would be an assault upon the rights not only of Mathematicans and Statisticians, but that of all Americans and their constitutional right to use numbers.

Saw this on Hot Air, and I must say it’s a fantastic idea!

Send a White Flag To Congress…

Gen. Casey’s idea for a gradual drawdown of US troops is based on a military estimation of the capabilities of Iraq’s security forces balanced against the estimated strength/nature of the threats they face. It should be noted as well that he’d still leave at least five or six brigade combat teams in theater. That’s hardly what I’d call “cut-and-run.”

Cut-and-run is, however, precisely what the donkey party is all about. It’s recognizable by things like:

(1) Cowardice and defeatism. Often expressed in a thinly-veiled longing for a redux of Vietnam, Somalia or Beirut. Willingness to make the battle casualties we’ve suffered utterly meaningless by running away in the face of the enemy; willingness to consign millions of Iraqis to a nightmare of renewed totalitarian rule; willingness to see America’s diplomatic and military credibility completely shattered for nothing in return.

(2) Arbitrary dates. These are based on a profound, willful ignorance of military strategy and operations in general, and of low-intensity conflict in particular. Dates are disconnected from any kind of needs-based analysis for US forces on the ground, but have instead a “darts-on-a-board” feel. Should we run away at the end of this year? Or the end of July of next year? Ask John Kerry, he’s suggested both.

(3) Absence of any kind of strategic vision. For example, unrealistic notions of where we should run away to (Okinawa?), or foolishly thinking that if we run away to Kuwait based on some weird “over-the-horizon” presence that the donkey party would ever support our return under any circumstances. Willingness to see Iraq become another “Terrorist Disneyland” a la Afghanistan in the 1990s. Utter inability to understand that victory comes from taking the offensive against the enemy where he lives, instead of adopting a bunker mentality at home and ceding initiative to our foes. Eagerness to appease: thinking of foreign policy and national defense in terms of “popularity contests,” manifested by reliance on “talking” and “understanding” and “world opinion” as primary defensive mechanisms, Euro-weenie style, instead of killing the enemy.

(4) Political cynicism. Inability to learn from past electoral mistakes, coupled with a proclivity to repeat them. Complete inability to connect with the thinking of most Americans, who may “wish” for a time-table based withdrawal but who are unwilling to repeat the disastrous ending to the Vietnam war by leaving the battlefield in the possession of the enemy based on nothing more than hoping that somehow he’ll be mollified instead of moved to even greater contempt for us. Thinking that the whole-hearted embrace of American defeat and humiliation overseas is the preferred path to power domestically, which is really all they care about, anyway.

Yeah, better off blue, I’m “LOL” too – at you.

Tighten up, Blue. Now, do you want your white flag overnighted, or shipped by ground transportation?

Are you comparing Iraq to Vietnam? I thought that was taboo amongst Republicans?

Maybe you guys should pass a constitutional amendment banning numbers? Then you won’t have to be bothered with their inconvenient realities.

Send the flag and knee pads to:

B.O.B
911 Gay Freedom Rd.
Surrenderville, Mexifornia 02527

Where shall we mail your white flag? And do we ship that along with your kneepads, or separately?

Oh, and make sure you include that moonbat hippie surrendercrat General George Casey as well, since “cut and run” is on his mind as well.

LOL
