This is getting …

What I mean is that it was fashionable to question the patriotism of anti-war Christians in 2003.

Really?

Name one anti-war Christian whose patriotism was questioned, and by whom. Evidence, please.

It is and was fashionable to blame all Saddam Hussein’s actions, the insurgency, the Iranians nuclear weapons work, most terrorist attacks, 9-11, and all the hatred spewed by Islamic fascists on George W Bush. How’s that fit your definition of questioning someone’s (Bush’s) patriotism?

You are wrong that there were no WMDs. You are wrong that there were no terrorists in Iraq. You are wrong that 9-11 was our fault. You are wrong that the war was not necessary and was unsuccessful. You don’t change Muslim minds filled with hatred of America by offering them a trade mission. They either change their stinking attitudes towards violence towards infidels or be accommodated on their way to their 72 virgins. There is no in between with their religion.

How do you survive in this world since you are obviously incorrect in everything you know about it?

One thing I noticed during the debate was that Obama went back at least twice to the inane position of: ‘we should never have gone to war in the first place’. That kinda works if you’re a 6 year old, but not when you’re supposed to be a big boy who’s running for Commander In Chief. This is a big reason why Demos make lousy Presidents; they’re irrational/magical thinkers.
The tit-for tat BS that Obama pulled about the bracelet made me scream for another bucket. I don’t know why I bother to eat before I watch Barry Whosane. If I bring it up, he just ‘votes’: ‘Present’.

Maybe McCain at the Next Debate should Ask Obama IF he wants to try the Iraqi’s for war crimes for finding Saddam guilty and then Killing His Poor Saddam Hussien..

You know poor “Butcher of Baghdad” that used WMD’s on his own people and the poor soul that was funding terrorists to bomb Israeli’s, the poor man that was violating repeated UN resolutions, and the poor man that was shooting at out airplanes every day, and the poor man that was defying weapons inspectors.. awwwww Poor Saddman Hussein.. Maybe Obama likes his last name.. you know Obama said in his book that “hussein” is aribic for “blessed” well Saddam is in hell.

Some soldier’s Mom gave him a bracelet so that “no other Mother will have to go through what I am going through”? Means what, O’Douchebag? You’re going to disband the American military?

What a f*ucking nitwit.

McCain on points. No knockouts and no major gaffes. In the greater scheme that’s probably a plus for Obama who spent last week lowering expectations. Like Rocky, he can claim to still be standing, though as the list below will demonstrate, I thin…

Hmmmm…

Why not Questions to Obama?

Will he give the Nation of Islam money?

Why not, he gave Father Pfleger’s Church money..

(Sorry. Like Obama’s voting record, somehow life got overlooked in that sentence.)

They are so filled with hatred and blame, they have no sense of honor and devotion.

They hold nothing sacred, not, nor liberty.

All they seek is their own selfish pursuit of happiness.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

The Sturmabteilung, abbreviated SA, (German for “Assault detachment” or “Assault section”, usually translated as “stormtroop(er)s”), functioned as a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP – the German Nazi party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s.

SA men were often called “brownshirts”, for the colour of their uniforms, and to distinguish them from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who wore black and brown uniforms (compare the Italian blackshirts). Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them was cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered for German troops serving in Africa.

The SA was also the first Nazi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. The SA ranks would be adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief among them the SS. They were very important to Hitler’s rise to power until they were superseded by the SS after the Night of the Long Knives.

Kos Kiddies = Obama’s SA Sturmabteilung (Brownshirts) They will be Killed and replaced when Obama Creates the “Government funded Private Army” within the first 100 days.

They Will Be Replaced BY

Nation of Islam = Obama’s SS after what will be reminecent of the “Night of the Long Knives”

Then we will will have a race war.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

What you seem to be saying is that it is unpatriotic to question a war.

…”seem to be saying”…I don’t usually “seem” to say anything…I go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on in thread after thread (I think you get the point) and am pretty clear…

…the cleverness must be confusing you…in which case, go to another blog…clever people here, what….

Definitive statement: Megyn Kelly would make a dandy Christmas present…and, painted like an Easter egg and wearing bunny ears, would brighten up my April.

(I posted this earlier, but, upon reflection, have found that I have strong feelings on the matter.)

…oppose the war? Sure…but how?

Wanting to hamstring the effort when we’ve got troops actively engaged? Defeatism which makes policy-making difficult? Playing politics with soldiers lives? The constant repetition of “no WMDs” and “weren’t involved in 9/11″ and personalizing the war in the manner of “no Vietnamese ever called me a n*gger” (a ’60′s flashback, I’ll grant you)?

Unpatriotic. Full stop.

Now…where’s my Christmas present?
