    no, not really


    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

    As expected, the democrat response on Larry King is to rip her for having no substance to offer.

    The priority is on people who didn't attack us and isn't on the ones who did? Got it, thanks for clarifying.

    Oh awesome. And the rest of us permanent residents can feel free to get screwed and tossed in jail without warrant whenever the government feels like. I feel so much better being an immigrant.

    Dude! I watched for 90 minutes tonight, and only saw a reporter who was non-white. I thought people on this BBS were exaggerating, but dayum... they're going to have to rename the party the GWP.

    LOL Can you show me the part of the Constitution where it says only US citizens have a right to free speech or habeas corpus or any of those silly little things. Thanks.

    You know when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were authored it was meant for everyone.

    I think people may need to review their history.

    For a nice short example, check out John Adams on HBO......

    Those politicians were putting their necks on the line and were men to be admired.....the ones these days....meh.

    I don't think you are the one missing anything regarding the Principles our nation was founded on.

    Remember the Alamo?


    Dude... you win. You know all. Afghanistan is who attacked us. So did Pakistan.

    I have no time to look up all of the ties to Iraq that Al-Q had BEFORE the US went in under Dubya. It's been well documented on this BBS. Much less the original chase that was given to Al-Q and the Taliban in Afghanistan that -currently- is more under control than the effort in Iraq.


    But you win either way. You are in the military too. You are the General.
