It is not my wish to offend anyone; I speak just as I write. From what I've read of the postings here, you are, as a group, as intelligent as any I have encountered anywhere.
The Creator gifted all of us differently, but no one gift has more intrinsic value than the next. Accept the gifts I have for what they are. I do have insight, and am a political if not a party animal. I view issues head on, not from an ideological viewpoint. I believe in restraint and moderation, allowing the brain time to do it's job. I believe there is great value in thinking things though before acting on them.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I believe the way to take this fellow down must come from "within." I think that is the smartest, sanest and safest of our present options. The same goals could be achieved with far less risk than some other solutions.
If I were to change anything, it would be to have a more effective CIA.
As regards my personal history, I am proud of my lineage but do not believe it makes me superior to anyone else. Their heritage is just as important to them!
Glad you are are a bit less grouchy today ;-P
Am I to believe that when the very first words you posted to a fellow freeper were, "Have you ever read the Constitution?"
It's just a little smug to assume that a person has not read the Constitution when we all start out in elementary school learning about it, don't ya think?
Then you go on to repeat again, almost word for word, the Demorats talking points...
"Since Congress was deliberately misled, this whole Iraqi misadventure was unconstitutional; that is why it is an impeachable offence."
You also put terrorism in quotes. Just a small hint to imply that the word used by the Bush Administration to describe our enemy's mission is questionable to you. What word/words do you prefer to terrorism to describe the deliberate killing of the innocent to spark fear in the hearts of one's enemies "friend"? Let me guess...something along the lines of legitimate justifiable warfare maybe?
Now, in this your second ever thread to post to, you bring up more leftist talking points about the China/Russian fear factor.
Further evidence that would lead one to conclude that you may be less then forth coming with your real reason for being here.
"I do have insight.."
That's nice but I would wager Howard Dean's mother encouraged him to believe that he had "insight" as well. Tee Hee Hee.
"I believe in restraint and moderation, allowing the brain time to do it's job."
So do the French, who take it a bit too far..so what's your point? ...That you think someone is going to run over to Iran tomorrow and tear up the place? Bahahaha.
"...I am proud of my lineage..."
So was Napoleon.
I don't get this obsession of yours to enlighten us all with your genealogy. A huge majority of Americans can trace their roots back to the revolution or at least some of our early conflicts. Join the crowd.
With all this talk about your lineage and judging by the comments you have made in the precious few days that you have been here, you could be Ward Churchill for all I know.
Grouchy? No..what you are witnessing is the righteous indignation that occurs when a Freeper smells a very slick troll.
