What is frightening to me is that you might actually believe that.

And if you do...it that kind of thinking that poses the greatest danger to this country.

This country is only in danger because of the people who currently are in the majority of Congress combined with a Demoncrat in the presidents office.

I would fully support a Congress of one party and a president of another party, but 8 years of Bush have shown us that a party of one in the White House and Congress is a bad combination and that needs to be rectified at all costs, through legal means..... That bitch Pelosi needs to go and Reid will be voted out anyway.

That's a slippery slope argument.

This has nothing to do with the previous seven pages, but, is somewhat relevant to the topic at hand. It looks like the rulers in Kyrgyzstan, a country that we have military bases in to help supply our troops in Afghanistan, just got overthrown. While analysis don't expect the base or supply route to be affected initially because of this, the opposition leaders, who are now in power, are much more pro-Russia than pro-US. Russia has been trying to pressure the old Kyrgyzstan rulers to not allow the US to have military bases in Kyrgyzstan for a while now and have always failed because of the economic benefits. This has the possibility of changing if the opposition stay true to their more pro-Russia views and give in to Russia's influence.

I jumped from page three to here. Did they really keep at it all that time? No wonder Ali felt the need to start a new thread for them

Yes, bordering on intolerably irritating, in this thread.

Hey...sorry if you and Monster and others didnt like it. Too bad!

But expect more...when I see the wingnut double standard and ignorant Nazi references/hate speech in a post, I will call it out for what it is.

Or you can just ban me for challenging one of your family members and keep telling yourself its just "merc being merc".

You dont get strikes for characterizing others as Nazis, cunts or racists. ..or for blatant double standards and hypocrisy.

Strikes are only assessed for upsetting the family.
