this is profound....

it's funny how the "question everything", everything is not "black and white" only shades of grey, there are "no absolutes", "resist resist", protest everything, occupy everything, mostly peacefully of course, don't tell ME what to do crowd... is now telling everyone to STFU and do what they are told....pretty amusing

I wonder how many others here are sick to death of having every discussion, event, or news story being politicized. Last I checked, my views on the withdrawal were as an American, viewing and praying for American troops, all wearing American uniforms with the American flag.....
You might as well just put up your affiliation in your signature. Those of you who view and post from only one aisle, be it blue or red, are nothing more than one trick ponies who lack the capacity to view each item on its own merits and happily post bullet points from your favorite partisan sources. Use your head for your reasoning. Don't blindly follow political postures and attacks from either side. Last I checked, there has not been a political platform with all the right answers.

feel better?


remember...not long ago....when everybody was busting out that old phrase...."well....I may not agree with what you have to say...but I'll defend to the death your right to say it!"....

I didn't believe them then.....and.....

it's pretty much become the exact opposite in fact.....

Trump: 'Bomb the hell out of' U.S. equipment left behind in Afghanistan
Look who beating his chest


What are all the Trump supporters going to say when they find out the bomber who killed our troops was 1 of the 5000 prisoners he Released?

Imagine if there were a major terrorist attack emanating from Saudi Arabia. It could be huge, and probably there would be no consequences to Saudi Arabia or the GOP.

9/11 was planned in Hamburg, Germany, Jakarta, Indonesia, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Funded with Saudi money. Flight training took place in USA. Not a single highjacker was an Afghan citizen.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

come on, you’re saying trump didn’t promise to get us into a bunch of wars? that’s what he obviously heard on CNN, so it has to be true.
