Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: politics

Thought it would be a good time to throw out a thanks to Ringmir for getting this thread started over a month ago now. I've found it to be the most entertaining/interesting/civil (for politics) thread on here in a while (I can only read so many should I get the M22 or M60 threads).

I'm currently accepting cash and checks from anyone who wishes to contribute to the "Save Peter From Terrorists" fund.

Rest assured your contributions are tax-deductible.

Come on, Pumbuko, don't you really think they're "freedom fighters" rather than terrorists?

I am so glad to see this thread is still alive. I've been neck-high in dirty diapers and spitup, so I've had to limit my board surfing.

Just saw an interesting thing on Drudge Report.

Apparently, Kerry has contacted one of the Swift Boat vets that he roomed with in Vietnam to find out why they were beating up on him so hard. I guess he ended the conversation with a request to meet with him face-to-face, which was declined by the fellow vet.

I wonder what that's all about....hmmmm, let me think...."Will you guys cut this out? What's it going to take to put an end to this? How much katsup will it take?"

Drudge is also reporting that Kerry's own journals are stating that they had not been fired upon yet.....9 days after the incident with his first purple heart. I guess the campaign is trying to control the flames by floating the possibility that his first award was for self-inflicted wounds.

Man, this thing is falling apart right around him. His service in Vietnam is truthfully not pertinent to his ability to be President, but he used it as a deciding issue and it's now stuck to him like a bad case of herpes.

Yes, I know that I'm quoting something that is only breaking, but Drudge is usually on the mark. The interesting part will be if the mainstream media starts to pick up the story. As is always the case, they may be slanted to the Left, but they usually give in and run a damaging story if the story has enough meat to it...just ask Clinton.

Hey pmbuko, here is a beautiful decanter commemorating the 1968 Republican convention - a must have for any patriotic American! LOL

The far left loaths war for any reason. Basically pacificts that think both sides are wrong and the issue can be worked out.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Correct spiff - it is a good thing in a pluralistic democratic society. However, when a pluralistic democratic society is confronted by evil, take Nazi Germany for an example, liberal tolerance leads to Chamberlain's historic idiocy, Munich, an empowerment of evil and a war of survival.

Sometimes you have to stand up for good, acknowledge evil for what it is, and fight.

Very true. And if you are poor or disadvantaged, your chances of taking a stand and fighting are so much better than the rest of us!

Not so true in todays volunteer forces. Lots of kids from my high school have been turned down by the military in recent years for a variety of reasons.
Also, the reservists and Nat'l Guard troops seem to be regular working guys like you and me. In fact, the guy I replaced in the classroom 6 years ago was an officer in the reserves forced into duty in Bosnia.

I think this is my all time favorite Internet forum thread.
