    For many Americans, what happened on September 11th means a whole heck of a lot. You can not have a meaningful foreign policy discussion without discussing it. For the libs to try to say that bringing up 9-11 is 'scare tactics' is stupid. How can you consider any plan without its impact on homeland security? Are we supposed to discuss foreign policy and homeland security PRETENDING that the largest terrorist strike on American soil didn't happen? Grow a spine, cowardly libpigs.

    Saying "9/11" 10000000000000x is NOT meaningful foreign policy discussion. Virtually the ENTIRE country was behind the Afganistan war.

    We were misled into Iraq and we aren't even fighting the guys who freakin attacked us!

    Growing a spine would be pulling out of Iraq and starting a campaign to truly cripple Al Qaeda.

    You are aware that the youtube clip you posted was edited, correct? The discussion INVOLVED saying the words "9-11" but did not stop there. Silly libs...

    It was an edited video?!!! OH MY!!! It appears that someone has cherry picked words and spliced it into one ultraliberal propaganda video.

    God I love being a "liberal" since I'm all about state rights and small central government. God I love being a "liberal" since I love guns and hate Hillary Clinton (damn that biatch for liking guns too).

    You know you can be a liberal republican or conservative democrat. Obviously, you lack the brain capacity to realize this since all you care about is your stock portfolio and how superior you are to "liberals". Oops, I forgot your american flag lapel pin... thats important too. I hear it keeps the terrorists away like garlic keeps vampires away.

    As an active member of the Republican Party, I am not free to divulge any real details. That being said, I can tell you that it involves zombies.

    I wasn't trying to get you to like/dislike anything.

    I was pointing out to T_J that you can be "liberal" and FOR the right to bear arms, just like you can be "conservative" and for abortion.

    Just because someone is pegged to be in a spot on the political spectrum doesn't mean they have a list of issues they follow to a T with everyone else in that same spot.

    If you ever listen to a right-leaning talk radio show... its amazing how many times they use the words "conservative, conservatism, liberal-agenda, etc." when they don't even imply the true meaning of "liberal" and "conservative."

    T_J lives in a world of black and white. You're either for us or against us. You either are an uneducated FOOL or an educated ELITE.

    I've said this before in other threads that we need to get away from labeling people and start understanding why both sides think differently and COMPROMISE. Instead we sink down to fear mongering like the video shows.

    yeah but its hard when you hear them talking about national gun registration.

    And since I am married, outlawing guns would affect me more than outlawing abortion.

    And may I be the first to thank you for doing your bit to break down the unfair stereotypes, labelling and "fear mongering" nonsense by starting this thread.

    Touche... but I did not label any individual anything (except T_J for being politically ridiculous). If you're going to argue that the RNC doesn't use the fear card over and over and over again... you're going to lose.

    ok... I read this again and i think I got a -1 for reading comprehension... I thought you were being sarcastic, but maybe you really were thanking me, but there were no roll-eyes..

    so if u were thanking me.. then ignore my last response.. if you were being sarcastic, please see my last response :cool:
