    As horrible as that is, it still isn't as bad as using a SURRENDERING US SOLDIER for political gain.

    The liberals did this. Unbelievable. How desperate are they? Seriously.

    I would call 11,000 dead from a war America started somewhat worse.

    You fail to see any good from what happened in Iraq?

    That is f'ing disgusting and pisses the hell out of me. That ad has crossed the line. :mad: :mad:

    What would our TROOPS say if they saw that? That's as big a confidence deflater as you could contrive. Kerry and his liberal cronies at moveon should be ASHAMED. :mad:

    I am comparing violent methods to violent methods.

    Actually, as a Buddhist, I believe some good come from all things. But it really isn't the point. I think there were other options avavilbe to us than starting a war. It wasn't the last option.

    The true point of this thread is to try to claim all "liberals" are like the person that made a child cry. It is sooo tired. We can do better than that. I think this thread should be locked.

    that's absolutely horrible, all liberals are evil people because of this act. Likewise, this lady with a bush sign in front of her yard gave me a cookie and she was a nice person, thus all people who support Bush are nice people and all people who don't support him are evil sign rippers who steal candy from children and probably eat them too, and stuff.

    Some nazi liberal was trying to discuss why Bush's economic policy was doomed to failure and why the war in Iraq was a mistake. I refused to discuss with him, because anything that comes out of someone that opposes the president must be a sinner. If he had just given me a cookie and waved a flag a few times, maybe I would listen to him.

    vote Bush/Chainey, It's the simple choice!

    Probably because his teacher is teaching him that Iraq planned 911.

    I'm not saying all liberals are like this. All I'm saying is that every time you hear about something like this, 99% of the time it's not a member of the Bush/Cheney crowd.

    With regards to slavery, a large part of America's diversity is due to slavery. Having had no ancestors as slaves, I can't say I speak for anyone, but many of my friends most likely wouldn't be here if it weren't for slavery.

    At least the child wasn't arrested.

    Exactly, but it doesn't mean it was the right method of creating future diversity. Much suffering was created by American slavery and we still feel the negative effects from it.

    In the other thread, I voiced my opinion on that thread. The mother should have protested in the proper manner. Interrupting a speech is not a constitutionally protected form of protest. IF she had done it at her own speech outside LAura's, that's perfectly fine.

    With regards to slavery, you're right and I didn't intend to say that that was the RIGHT way to do something. All I'm saying is that 50,000 died each year under Saddam. 11,000 (using your figure) have died since the war started (2003). So by your math, you'd have to admit that this war has saved 39,000 lives. Is it sad to lose 11,000? Of course. But at least we're doing some good. You should talk to soldiers that have been over in Iraq and hear what they have to say. It's a totally different story from what you hear through the media.
