Gosh.

That''''
s not what Republican fascists said when Clinton was President.

According to them, Clinton was responsible for multiple murders, hundreds of financial crimes, and even an extraterrestrial encounter or two.

In fact the only thing he wasn''''t responsible for was the incredibly vibrant and just economy we experienced.

But now things are different? And the President actually has no power to affect anything?

Wow.

Now that''''s convenient.

If you''''re a Republican.

I never said that. Do not put words in my mouth.If you''ll read my post, you would see that I was referring to ALL Presidents, no matter what their political affiliation. I wasn''t addressing you either, but have a good night anyway.

Come on now, if Clinton had had encounters we would have heard about sexual exploitations.

patriot12436 , yours was a noble cause, yet I fear it fell on deaf ears with toldyouso12. I think she rather enjoys being crude. What a shame. Good night to you, patriot12436 and sweet dreams. It is nice to know there are decent people like you out there.

I am sure if she hid the finances from her husband she would have no problem removing the foreclosure sign before he came home. She could always put it up after he left for work agin.

You are right these comments should be about this woman. I began discussion with toldyouso, becase i felt she was being crude in her comments without a reason.

I also think that the comments posted here should pertain to the subject matter of the article...that is to say, no political opinion about the war in Iraq has been requested from you. What you think you know is actually only what the liberal media wants you to know. We will never know the truth as long as we have the current media and government that we do. You should also realize that no ONE man has the power alone as President to make all the things that have gone down happen. It takes Congress and the Senate to do anything. Don''t you know how our government works? You give the President way too much power and credit for getting things done, no matter which one you are talking about. Also, to answer ST''s question, I do not now, nor have I ever claimed to have served in our military. I only know what nightmares my nephews have suffered with since each of their two tours were served.(BTW one is currently there still serving his 2rd tour)This was a sad story about a woman who took her own life because of her financial woes. It doesn''t matter what caused her financial problems, her life was worth much more than the cost of a home. I am sure that her family would have much rather had her than that house here today. If her family reads these posts, they should read sympathy comments. Pure and simple. They need condolences more than your political rhetoric.

Surely a quote from the Bible will make us all feel better. Does anyone have one?

Husband didn''''t know about the foreclosure? Huh? She didn''''t think she should mention it? Makes sense... Sounds like she had issues. He never sees the mail? Never answers the phone?

And he never noticed that notice in the newspaper or the big sign in his yard saying "Foreclosure auction today at 5Pm? LOL

Her husband is a plumber & they''re hurting for money? If she was working, why was there a problem? Not like they had seven kids. Unless they were up to their eyeballs in credit card debt like a lot of other people. Women who treat shopping as if it was an Olympic sport.

Very well said. When you hear talk of race war, invariably the person saying it is over 45 and has the idea that the status quo they knew all their life is sacrosanct and if it changes--the world will end. These are people who fail to notice all the mixed marriages, all the blended families and children adopted from other races, all the biracial or multi racial children. If there is a "race war" it will not simply be blacks against whites or whites against someone else--it will be intolerance and prejudice against those who refuse that mantle --it may well be a war of the ages with the same people who support Obama now, being the same demographics who resist the war that their parents want due to racism.

My opinion, but i think if obama is elected it will be the end of our country and probably the beginning of a race war in America.

Posted by patriot12436 at 02:06 AM : Jul 24, 2008


Ahhhh. yes. Here it is--the great and dreaded race war....

You might be right--change is always portended as the end by those who fear a shift in the status quo--but you may be right.

Consider this then--if we do descend into race war, at least we will be occupied with fighting in our own country and will not have the will, manpower or ability to continue to visit devastation on people who did nothing to us--maybe God will give us brownie points for not visiting our mayhem on other cultures then.

There are a lot of things worse than a race war--you haven''t thought of those but they are still there--like us becoming so economically crippled that we become 3rd world and no race has an advantage as being American will be enough to ensure we are at the bottom.

Here is a truth--no matter what, and no matter how wrong we were--we cannot give one single life back. Not an American life--not all those Iraqi lives---we did not belong there--we were bullies who started a fight for oil or trumped up reasons and harmed an entire society--we have hundreds of thousands if not millions of death on our hands--those we caused--and those our actions allowed to come into being and no amount of claiming we are heroes will change that fact.

and yet, no matter what. you can''t replace those lives you took. I have seen an apartment full of children (4 girls) burn to death in a fire, while none of us could do anything. I have seen a lot of violence and I did not have to leave the states to do so. You have no more moral authority or license just because you saw or participated in any war nor do you have any more expertise. We don''t have to see war to know how horrible it is or that it should be an option of last resort, not an option moulded and used based on lies.

Wars are not simply the purview of soldiers, men, women and children civilians are often caught up in and raped, tortured and died or used as pawns--most of us know this even if we have never fought--but here''s the clincher--many of the people who DO know were for this war. This war, where we attacked a sovereign country that had not done anything to us, and where our reasons for doing so, changed as we found out they were unfounded--and where now, even though we all know it was done based on lies--we stay. nxt post

There is no such thing as fighting civilly in a war. You do anything you have to do to win and survive. To fight civilly is what is portrayed in the movies.

Unless you have seen a child blown or burned to death, your friends blood and flesh scattered on your clothes, heard their screams of agony, then you still have no idea of how horrible a war can be. The people i killed i will see their faces every day till i die, except for the ones i killed and didn''t see. I came back with a whole different outlook and a respect for life.

I agree with what you are saying about Bush, but it sounds like you want to blame everyone for what he did. We elected our officials to represent us the way we wanted and they did not. I do not blame the people for the failings of our govt.

Posted by patriot12436 at 01:59 AM : Jul 24, 2008


I DO blame every single person who voted for Bush the second time because the Downing st memo, the torture, the lies, the deception, the manipulations were known before 2004 and were there for any voting American to follow and analyze. All they had to do was watch World News tonight, CNN and almost any network except Fox. Many people did not do that. They did not match actions to words and did not look beyond the rhetoric of the players--just like many do not do so now for this election. But the fact is--if you actually look at what has gone on before, what is said now and the reaction of each player--it is easy to see at least some of the ramifications of a vote.

So yes, I blame every single person that voted for Bush a second time and do believe that they and he contributed to destroying our country, our reputation and our economy. If there was a way to secede those of us who thought differently from the idiots still willing to follow the PNAC and the neo cons--many of us on the other side would surely enact it.

No one knows war better than i do. I have seen all the horrors imaginable. Have you ?

Posted by patriot12436 at 02:01 AM : Jul 24, 2008


If you are asking if I have been to war--no. But I have seen my share of horror both domestic and abroad and I have seen what people who fail to consider ramifications can do to other people. If ever we wondered how Germany or Japan could have ever been led so far astray in WWII and why many still think they were justified in what they did--we have only to review our actions now and for the past 8 years.

And WE or at least those of us who voted for them ARE to blame for what our government has done--because what they were doing and why was there for all to see--or at least there for those who bothered to look.
