I have served, have you.?
Please, take a second to read and understand all information.
My quote
Signed on the dotted line, still disagree with Paul.
I actualy signed about two dozen times and initaled about twice that. Darn near gave me carpal tunnel.
Ignore Iraq for just a moment if you are capable(Lord knows the media is, since it is going well). With the examples I gave, are we not better for having waged war? If not for the first, I would be preparing for a spot of afternoon tea, if not for the second, well that one would not have happened but for the first. As for the third, a large number of my African-American co-workers find that the deaths of thousands of my "color"(white) were acceptable compared to the alternative. As for the fourth, only a fool to disagree with. We went from a largly agrarian nation during a massive drought to a world power in a few years. We were attacked. The civilized world was in serious trouble and we did something about it. Thank God Almighty that Dr. Ron FREAKING Paul was not in charge then and will NEVER be in charge.
I would still like an answer to my question about the Barbary Pirates from an expert "Paulite"(as some refer to them), rather than a rank ameture.
P.S.
The idea war is good in anyway shows a lack of maturity.
I would argue that the idea war is bad in EVERY way shows a lack of understanding of the big picture. Fact is that I have been criticized for not throwing away my vote on a write-in for Dr. FREAKING Paul because I would prefere McCain to Obama/Clinton. They said I was
compromising on my ideals. If we had not fought in the Revolution, in 1812, on the Barbary issue(still waiting), the Civil War, and WWII(for that matter WWI) we would be
compromising our ideals,in that,
"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."
So, am I "immature", or are you a hippocrite?
