then realize that people like you who think military power is the answer to every problem are exactly what Eisenhower was talking about in this speech...
he knew there are benefits and DANGERS to the use of military power.....people like you think it is an end to all means...and that is what is destroying the US image/respect in the world today....why don't you just go join BLACKWATER as the mercenary you want to be and just go through out the world killing people, then you'll be happy... | |

We've beaten many countries in foreign wars. During World War 2 we beat 3.
As for Bush and Cheney, I think they are finally starting to realize that in order to win a war, our troops have to actually fight and kill the enemy. Prior to the surge, it almost read as if any of our troops who wanted to even holster a weapon had to go through a 19 point checklist before he/she could even fire a shot. My main gripe about the surge is that it wasn't started sooner. We could have saved a lot of lives had we done it. -- Only SHATNER is Kirk. | |

Here's the letter they sent me in May 2006:
26 May 2006
Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. My name is Lorna, and I am happy to assist you regarding NSA story.
Verizon Wireless does not provide its customers' call records, or any information from those records, to the NSA. Any suggestion in news reports that we do is utterly false.
It has been a pleasure assisting you today, and we appreciate your business. Should you have additional questions or concerns, please reply to this e-mail.
Sincerely,

Make health care affordable and accessible to every American. Reduce the cost of energy and make us energy independent. Expand access to affordable, high-quality child care. Make college more affordable. Protect families from predatory lenders and help them avoid foreclosures. Increase the minimum wage. Create good jobs with good wages to expand the middle class. Balance the federal budget so we don't pass today's massive debts to the next generation. Reward savings, protect pensions, and provide greater retirement security.

So what part about killing muslims in Iraq did you misunderstand? I said nothing about killing muslims in New York, the jihadist already tried to do that, along with the Christians, Jews, Hindus and All the rest. I am for killing those that resist our conquest and put our soldiers at risk.
Maybe Fascism is the only goverment that can rule these people. They only understand power. A repubulican goverment, like ours, is difficult to understand. Most of you will call it a democracy, but it is far from what we have, or from what our founding fathers wanted.
If it spills over into IRAN, so be it. Those people need to be taught to respect the power of American might, and fear the mushroom cloud! | |

Make health care a benefit of the rich. Everyone else just get's sick and dies. Keep supporting the terrorist by buying their oil. Stop mothers from working, they should be at home raising the kids anyway. College is like health care, only the rich should be allowed to go. Let's start up MORE slimy mortgage brokers, and break the economy even MORE! Let's LOWER the minimum wage, If you can't live off $5.00/hr ($200.00/week), then you should live on the street. Lets keep paying our executives more and more, and let them oursource all our manufacturing, technical and skilled positions overseas. Everyone else can get a job at McDonalds for $5.00/hr Let's keep spending and cutting taxes! That's the solution to the future. Stop SAVING. The megacorps NEED your money!

| Oops, you missed an important fact, If you are rational, then your views will be conservative. It's logical. I am not some Neocon, but a conservative. You can understand that by lowering taxes, you can raise the revenue. I think that people should have to pass an IQ test to run for office. (Cynthia McKinney is the best example we have, and she's from right here in GA!) So I suggest you sit down in your thinking chair and try to get a little rational on us.
