Well, whether our side believes that the Wars in the Middle East are connected to End-Time Prophecies, the other side does...<BR/><BR/><BR/>The "Hidden Imam", "12th Imam", and the like...<BR/><BR/>The other side struck first, (remember?) and repeatedly, before we responded, and they have gone to War against us <I>in the name of their god.</I><BR/><BR/>For us to respond in kind would be nothing

Nice try.<BR/><BR/>I guess that answers my question about how far you would be willing to go in order to intentionally miss the point.

Oh, and I don't know Charles Manson either, but I'm pretty sure he's a nut.<BR/><BR/>And while things that Ahminajihad has said can be translated into "Israel is a rotting corpse, on it's way to annihilation..." then either we have no method of accurately communicating with him, or he is a hate-filled enemy of humanity, who needs to be opposed by any and all who love humanity.<BR/><BR/>but, as I

Only over there on your side, Brother...<BR/><BR/>Why should you care about Israel?<BR/><BR/>Why should we care about the victims of Socialism who were left homeless and destitute due to Hurricane Katrina?<BR/><BR/>Why should our tax dollars care about educating inner-city children?<BR/><BR/>Why should our tax dollars care about AIDS victims in Africa?<BR/><BR/>The homeless?<BR/><BR/>Healthcare?<

Re-read your own posting: "If Obama is actually a Muslim or a "Manchurian Candidate" of some type, the major American Media has done everything within their power to hide it from the public, or to ignore it altogether." <BR/><BR/>It may have been better to have a said, "If Obama is actually a Muslim, or a candidate from Manchuria, ..." Why Manchuria anyways? There is no Constitutional clause

What is a "card carrying Muslim?" <BR/>And would one really marry a "white" girl from Kansas? Really? <BR/><BR/>Given that it is a laughable notion that there is a "vast right wing conspiracy," I don't subscribe to any notion that there is some "liberal media bias" either.<BR/><BR/>To acknowledge the existence of one (a liberal media bias conspiracy), would mean that the other (a vast right wing

Awesome! <BR/><BR/>I don't care if it is true ("Have I told you yet that I plan to vote for Obama in November?") your timing is hilarious - I am not being an "as*" here.

Thanks for the heads up. <BR/><BR/>Honestly, I have always skimmed Civil War history, as my personal opinion is that it represents an ugly part of history for what I to be consider its being based on “un-American” values. Your prompting me, and challenging me with specifics, I do appreciate. <BR/>My family is split (Southern on my mother’s side, northern on my father’s), so given my belief in

MLD, thank you for your interest in my comments here.<BR/><BR/>What Publius said was that the "notions" of an entire state were so offensively racist that he could no longer stand to be counted among them.<BR/><BR/>That is offensive to me, mainly because I live here, and because I know that particular assertion to be untrue.<BR/><BR/>Anyone has about the same chance at success in Florida,

I went to that site...<BR/><BR/>It listed Slavery as a partial cause of the Secession of the Southern States from the Union, (the economy of the South being based primarily upon agriculture and slaves being the primary source of plantation labor) along with growing uneasiness in the Southern states over fair representation in the Federal Government as western territories were annexed by the Union

Mr. Know-it-All; you stated Publius had insulted an entire state by saying he disliked the "notions" held by that state and those living in it. Why is that an insult? For example, if a conservative moved out of California because they disagreed with the "notions" prevalent there, would that be insulting California?<BR/><BR/>As far as re-stating what has been said when discussing the issue; It
