SP4: good idea congressmen..Jun 19th, 2009 - 17:23:23

...except for the glaring fact that there are no slaves alive anymore. Apologizing to those in the afterlife...perhaps they can apologize to all the needlessly murdered kids in the Waco Massacre, given that Janet Reno is still alive to do so, eh?

And while there at it, say sorry for the 4000 + dead american troops in a worthless war, sorry for the 25000 + wounded, sorry for the 250,000 dead Iraquis and apologize for the americans that were stupid enough to vote for the Bush administration twice...........

And for the fact that SP4 is so stupid all he does is spread hate. Oops, maybe SPr should say sorry for his own stupidity?

...accomplished.

Now run along and ask the boy king up in the not-so white house how HIS war is going. Bush got his done, passed every bill, funded every move, killed the enemy, set up a successful democracy, and heres the part you're really going to hate:

it's all working, kids.

Now, notice how the antiwar sentiment has all disappeared overnight? I guess when libnazis are dropping JDAM's on Afghani kids, the libnazi is willing to excuse it, eh? Liberal compassion...just like Waco, eh? Well, at least we have experience working for us, eh?

By the way, find any WMD's in Afghanistan yet?



Haven't you ever seen a Bush's ode to Cheney T-Shirt? It says

'S--k my Dick!'

Bush's legacy: mission aborted, not accomplished. osama bin laden and his band of terrorists escaped into Pakistan, and the commander in chief looked the other way, refusing to order the troops to follow the terrorists into the country that harbored them. Then in the interest of promoting democracy, Bush saw fit to pay billions to the military dictator of Pakistan, who protected the terrorists. al qaeda is laughing at the US from Pakistan, knowing that they were 110% successful in terrorizing us, and they don't have to do anything else for 100 years or more. You could call it mission accomplished if you were enemy, or a terrorist or traitor living in the US.

SP4 - better look at Iraq, then Iran and do the math professor. Judah Ben Hur in Crawford, got his done.

osama bin laden and his band of terrorists escaped into Pakistan,

SP4: did he? Tell us monkey boy, that this is not the whole point of being in Afghanistan..one f--king guy, then tell us if you think getting him will make one iota of difference in the big picture. I think not.

and the commander in chief looked the other way, refusing to order the troops to follow the terrorists into the country that harbored them.

SP4: nonsense. He set up extensvie bases for UAV's where, today they still blast them at every opportunity, a move Obama will NEVER take a risk on. Hell he won't even lock terrorists up!

Then in the interest of promoting democracy, Bush saw fit to pay billions to the military dictator of Pakistan,

SP4: Like Johnson did to S. Vietnam

who protected the terrorists.

SP4 - while we balst them with Hellfires??? I think you'd better examine the latest scorecard professor.

al qaeda is laughing at the US from Pakistan,

SP4: that's not laughter..that's the sound of hellfires hitting them in the lips...

knowing that they were 110% successful in terrorizing us,

SP4; Most of their senior leadership dead, thousands of their people lured to Iraq and killed....mea culpa....

and they don't have to do anything else for 100 years or more.


SP4; and won't...100 ought to be about right...

You could call it mission accomplished if you were enemy, or a terrorist or traitor living in the US.

SP4: - ...as Obama turns the terrorists loose in our custody...
Tell us professor...how does your equation rationalize that?

No monkey boy, Bush was the guy who walked the walk, while the totalitarians of the world now use this opportunity of America electing as spineless agitator to office. In Venezuela, N. Korea, Iran, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, China, Cuba, and every other nation where people are treated like cattle, their masters are going to get every inch of mileage. Better go look at the stellar failure of the last six months in Afghanistan, by a president who's antiwar public has disappeared, with full support of the press is going down in flames. Apparrantly, libnazis have no problem with paveways killing innocent Afghans as long as it's a libnazi doing it, eh? This just answers a whole lot of questions to me, how about you? No..of course not...that would require an intellect free of bias.

The boy king is beginning to be measured by his sychophanitc press, monkey boy, becuase the only thing they hate worse than conservatives are libnazis who mke them look as stupid as they really are...just ask Bill Clinton how they dismembered him.

Enjoy

...and no one a slave...Jun 22nd, 2009 - 10:35:56

I thought we apologized to them long ago when American heroes were maimed, or died fighting to end slavery.

...the liberal mindset is to constantly apologize for the same thing, while ignoring the same crimes of the current age we live in. Clinton was the last one to carry out this charade, visiting African slave colonies while being silent on the slavery of the present in the Sudan, Sierra Leonne, etc.

Obam, true to form, makes a heartfelt visit to a nazi concentration camp, but is silent on forced child conscription currently going on in the Congo, because, after all, THAT would require real effort. he is silent on Zimbabwe, presumably because it is black-on-white apartheid, which he has no interest in. He is cowed by the Islamic totalitarians,offering hand shake as opposed to a stearn warning reequired. The toalitarians see this and see weakness.

The Conservative and Neocon philosophy is that this is aall a waste of time, and that real efforts to eradicate the slavery and totalitarianism of the day are the ones we need to address. They too, slip into the past too often, but their leaders have, along with former Kennedy - style democrats (now called Neocons in the GOP.) and folks like Joe Lieberman, step out and take the political risks associated with real freedom fighting that the liberals are afraid of.
