I have the grass surrounded, and I am inviting it to commit suicide! It is dying by the thousands as we speak. It is dying in the front yard, and in the back yard, and all the places of our land. By Allah, I swear that I am telling you the truth.

Is Magnux someone's alt?

Mom - Jackson, Missouri (Her mom was from AL, but traveled around a good bit before moving back there) Dad - Pell City, AL.

There's a hilarious story related to the Iraqi (Dis)Information Minister on Sgt Stryker's blog. Click here to read it. :)

I'll be damned... I was just about to post that story myself. I understand that they were trying to keep people alive, but what's the point of being in a place if you're not going to report the truth about it?

It was Eowyn. He couldn't be killed by man, so a woman killed him. Merry distracted him by stabbing him in the leg, but it was Eowyn that dealt the death blow.

The socialist remark was in response to your assertion that the people who support the war are being duped by Bush's propaganda, basically saying that those who support the war are mindless dupes who don't think for themselves. That is an insult. In referring to you as a socialist, I wasn't name...

Marxism is unworkable, not because people are evil, but because the system itself is evil. It is an elaborate justification for slavery, and in every country that attempted to implement it, the result was slavery. The fact that Marx promised people a utopia if they would submit to slavery...

The first debate we ever had... It actually began between you and Jan, and I stepped in because I was tired of your insulting behavior towards her. Read it and you will see that this attitude comes through: people who don't share your views are intellectually inferior. You described her as...

Battle of the Bulge starred Henry Fonda, among others. Speaking of Fonda, I forgot to list Midway. That's another good one. I saw it in the theatre when I was uh, 13 or 14, maybe.

That is so true. An assertive military response to the hostage crisis would have saved a lot of lives over the past 25 years. His hand-wringing made us look weak, and encouraged people to attack us.

Those of you who think you know everything are really annoying to those of us who do. :P

X or not-X pretty much covers the possibilities. Yes, there are times when both people are wrong, but that would be a case of one person saying X and the other person saying Y. The more polarized the views are, the more likely it is that one of them is right and the other wrong. I know that...

America held hostage for four hundred and forty days... while Carter sat in the Rose Garden and twiddled his thumbs. Or Carter coming on TV after the Russians rolled into Afghanistan looking shocked, SHOCKED, that the USSR would actually do such a thing. Those were not good days...

Syria's a higher priority, but I'm sure we have a battalion we could spare for toppling Castro. Now here's one that I will just go ahead and say I want it done because I'm tired sick and tired of hearing about the bearded, cigar-toking bastard. He's got no nukes, and freeing the Cuban people...

Hehehe. Way back when he ran against Ford, I was in 7th grade. I hated him then, and I spent the next four years hating him. I would have voted for Reagan in '80, if I had been old enough-- that, even though this Cuban guy I used to argue politics with in high school thought I was a socialist...

In the first place, you are missing the point. I don't deny someone's intelligence just because he disagrees with me. I believe that a person can be very smart and still be wrong. I don't assume that he's stupid, or the unwitting dupe of someone's propaganda. I allow the possibility that he...

I had to go with number three. I've never been a big fan of TV news, unless there was something big going on. I've always preferred print media, and that choice wasn't in there. Ten years ago I was just about to turn thirty... I'm not sure how much I was reading. There have been times when I...

I lost respect for him when I saw Charlie Rangel call him a socialist, and found myself agreeing with Charlie Rangel. O'Reilly was saying that the solution to the health care crisis was to build government-run clinics. :rolleyes: He doesn't have any political principles that I can see. He's...
