Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Nothing to worry about...They are still playing Golf in Dubai.
President Bush has been given awards for his consistent, strongly Constitutionalist federal judges and SC Justices - loads of them - by people who are a lot more well informed than you are, dear Pelham. Facts are stubborn things
Stop being blinded by grudges and look at what really happened. I know that's hard for you to do since you're driven by feelings and not reality, but give it a try. :)
(You probably still believe that I stalk people on FR. LOL!)
They too believed that our freedom was given by God. President Bush was echoing the Declaration of Independence in his view that freedom is a gift.
Yes. And I'm still here.
Iraq will go down as one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in American history.
I disagree.
You’re right about that. The West no longer has any idea what values are required to make our form of government and liberty a reality.
You can’t allay the fears of those blinded by bigotry
Only someone so naive as to call Islam a religion of peace could believe otherwise.”
Exactly Our entire premise and outlook on the Muslim Middle East is a fantasy and history has proven it as such. Ultimately, it will end very badly.
Where in Iraq are you? I was in Kirkuk and then in Mosul. Iraq was a huge, HUGE waste of money and American lives.
TRUTH # 4 - Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious People
“LOL! Is Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court?”
No, OWF, thank God enough people melted the phone lines to Congress to keep Dubya from getting his way.
“Facts are stubborn things”
True, and it’s a fact that Dubya tried to put Miers on the court. Renounce your world of fantasy, OAF, take down that shrine to Dubya in your basement.
Excatly right. The Judeo-Christian principle of the sanctity of the individual is the cornerstone of Western civilization and the freedom it can provide. This is an alien and unwelcome set of circumstances in the dark backwaters of islam.
Emulate Iraq? You mean, wait for the US Army to liberate them? Iraq had freedom handed to it courtesy of Uncle Sam. Whether they want it enough to keep it is still up for grabs.
Really. What do you call the Federal Convention of 1787?
The budgets for every program favored by the Left increased faster under Bush (and a GOP Congress) than it did under Clinton. Not exactly a conservative champion. Then there was the moronic idea that unConstitutional bills should pass Congress, and be signed by Bush, with the expectation that SCOTUS will declare them null. (Great leadership there, eh?) Then there was the 30-million illegal immigrant issue left to fester. The list of Bush’s conservative failures is not short.
A representive democracy needs a middle class, which they don't have.
These people are rioting not for freedom, but for more handouts.
He bailed out the banks, pushed an open border policy, and seemed totally unconcerned about losing control of Congress.
He is totally naive about Islam, calling it a 'religion of peace' and didn't fight the WOT to destroy terrorism, but began to nation build, trying to establish a 'new world order' like his dad.
“Really. What do you call the Federal Convention of 1787?”
Yes, really.
The Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was the third in a series of meetings convened to iron out trade and commerce conflicts that had arisen between the states. The Mount Vernon Conference of 1785 and the Annapolis Convention of 1786 preceded the Philadelphia Convention that drew up the Constitution.
Considering that the United States government had already been operating for six years under the Articles of Confederation, which themselves were drawn up in 1777, I don’t call the Philadelphia Convention “inventing a government from scratch”. It was, as the Preamble itself states it, a move to create a “more perfect Union”, not a move it invent one from scratch.
Now evidently you may have been operating under the illusion that the American government was created from scratch in 1787, but I ascribe that to your public school education rather than any native lack of ability. So hit the books, Buzzard, and the mysteries of American history will be revealed to you.
