It's just as disturbing to me folks who always paint us as the bad guys. All government policies should always be examined before supporing or decrying them.

I'm not going to debate who reads more or understands more but I'm pretty sure I'm far more pragmatic than you :-)

>No John, it is you who needs help. I read plenty and understand far more then you. As I posted to John H yesterday, it's very scary to read how many are quick to defend our govt policies, especially under the guise of "defending our freedoms".

>It is so sad to see how many are willing to buy into this. What line would our govt have to cross before you stand up? You're just a tool.

>>Perry, it seems to me that it "scares" you anytime anyone does anything to protect this country.

>>Let me remind you of something: America is the greatest force for good in the world. Period. When an earthquake strikes or other disaster we are the first on the ground to help.

>>The conservatives you whine and moan about would be the first to arms and first to fight should fascism or military takeover ever threaten this country. What would you do? Cry?
>>
>>You just don't understand, do you? Read the Federalist Papers. Read history. Read something, for God's sake, rather than being the simpering, weak-kneed, self-hating person posts like this make you out to be.

>>>Ah, once again you come out with your hypocracy. I don't recall you answering my question about how you can consider yourself such a religious man, yet condone such horendous practices by our govt.
>>>
>>>I don't recall who made the original quote, but I saw a roundtable discussion the other nite where someone mentioned a quote about how true patriots question everything.
>>>
>>>It scares me beyond pale to here people like you. It shows me just how easy it was for groups like Nazi Germany were to exist. My entire life when discussing horrors that have occurred thruout history, it was always argued how those events could never, ever occur in America, the land of freedom, because the people would rise up.
>>>
>>>People like you, William, and others how easy it is to get people who you thought would know better to act like sheep. And get led down a path of destruction.
>>>
>>>So sad.
>>>
>>>>Yep, some people like to moan and groan about how terrible the US is for defending freedom.
>>>>
>>>>>No problem. Continue to whine about how it's all the US's fault. As long as our troops continue to protect you you will be able to.
