Actually... I bet Kerry would've done a better job than Bush.

hahaha don't make me laugh, he sold out his fellow solders and called them all murderous baby killers, how do you thank he would have treated our soldiers now that he didn't serve with. oh and lets not forget that he he would change his views and flip flop depending who he was talking to. every one jumps on GWB because they thank is is a stupid hick, how come he had better grades and a higher GPA than Kerry.

Because he was stuck up and didn't give a damn about anyone except for himself, just like now! While Bush was focused on RULING the country, Kerry was focused on HELPING the country!

he sure didn't help his fellow soldiers, the only one he cares about helping is who he is talking to at the moment and that all changes when he walks out the door.

Okay, well I'm done with argument. Im getting all of these replies and its confusing the hell out of me. Thanks and have a wonderful day ...republican.
 
Yea, well, scderigo, if you're confused then why do you post?

I drop in on this thread now and again and it seems to go round and round.

See the title?

Here's the answer.

As close to the horses mouth as I can come.

Been there done that.

This is from way back in this thread.......

I would wager that the appeasers on this thread never had or never talked to their Grandfathers or family members involved in the big one on this subject. I remember long talks on the porches of my Grandfathers on this very subject. Their words conveyed to me the enormousness of that war. With logic, eye witness, sacrafice of the whole nation, first hand recollection, I could almost smell the blood and gunpowder, hear the sounds of war and pain of the injured, feel the comraderie of the entire nation, understand the ramifications of losing this war. To see tears in the eyes of grown, proud men as they talk of lost comrades and family (my Father's Father's Brother, my Great Uncle Jack, whom my Father is named for) and the fear they felt for their way of life and freedom hanging in the balance. Why is it they made a point to talk to me about this? Can you even conceive in todays society a plan as big as D-Day being kept secret? How do you convey these things to these brats?

They truely were the "Greatest Generation". It makes me sick too.

I still think the most salient point made on this topic was the statement, (paraphrasing). What if you were on a boat set for the invasion of mainland Japan? Haven't seen an answer to that one. Again, I say the asker of an unanswered question is the winner of the debate.

From those who were there and made damn sure I knew.

Trump that.

Class dismissed.

I don't really know. I've read some fairly damaging essays, but I don't see a motive for killing a quarter of a million people unless he really did believe it would save lives. I think it's disgusting that over 95% of the casualties in Hiroshima were civilians, and I really don't see how it was "worth it" in any case. I don't see an ulterior motive or gain for him to drop the bomb other than he believed it would save more lives... I've heard some cite revenge, and I like to think that a US president would be above that but who knows?

Do you think if FDR had had a few more years he would have dropped "little boy" and "fat man?"

Do you think the second bomb was really necessary?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Was it really necessary for Japan to attack Pearl Harbor? The Japanese were conquered by their greed and desire to control the pacific. As such, the price they paid for their actions was high.

The Japanese started a war they could not win. As a result, Heroshima and Nagasaki were quite literally obliterated.

War is never pretty.

In the modern day, the Japanese execercise their greed by starting trade wars thet cannot win. The most recent effort by Japan in this light was to add an uneccesary tariff on all imported US Steel. As as result, we the US Government should add huge tariffs on Japanese-made automobiles. This tariff should include any vehicles Japan brokers through Mexico.

In the end, they Japanese let their greed start WWII in the pacific.

Now I'm really curious. I know you're either a little boy (probably 9 or 10) or you're an old man. No one has the kind of grammar as you without a reason.


Time to go back to third grade.

HAhaha!! YOU are saying that *I* have 'flawed' 'THANKING'??!?! You have the brain of a freakin' PEA! You even misspell a simple word like 'SEEM'-- 'seam'. Please tell me, where did you go to school??! Because you are the result of the failure of an education system. Or are you just playing the 'devil's advocate' just trying to make republicans look STUPID? If so, you're doing a REALLY good job. But please, where are you from originally? Though I think TX may be your problem, where they have farmers teaching biology.

Ahhhh, yes!
Now here is the elitist, grandiloquent style that we've all come to expect of you sissy-BOY!
Interesting how you dedicate most of your post to attacking his formal education. Tell me, do those misspelled words somehow preclude him from expressing his opinions here? Did it prevent you from understanding his point? Instead of defending what he considers to be your "flawed" thinking, you go straight to offend mode.
in one paragraph you manage to attack all republicans, everyone from Texas and farmers -- all this because of your fixation with a few misspelled words.

I'll take incorrect spelling over your issues any day of the week.

No you dont, you live in the land you constructively(for the most part) criticize.

Dont even begin to compare yourself to this individual.

Actually, his 'opinion' was far too senseless to misunderstand he only proved that it is his lack of education that made him become a RepubliCON. But believe me, it had a LOT more to do with his intolerant attitude than his education -- I was merely pointing out that the 2 go hand in hand. And I DO believe that Texas has a larger number of poorly educated citizens like him -- why do you think their SAT's are so low?? And you'll have to enlighten me as to what '(my) issues' are.

Nope, NEVER lived in Greece. Though I'd like to visit. I'm born and raised red-blooded American -- and Arizona native. But I lived in San Francisco for 10 years, LA for 3, Tennessee, Georgia and CT.

I'm proud of the US which is EXACTLY why American's need to take our country back from slimy politicians and corrupt corps that are bankrupting the entire planet. I don't HATE America -- I HATE the power structure that is so EVIL that is in full reign right now. But I have faith in the American people that we will regain strength because the people of the US are SICK TO DEATH of the liars in DC and we will win; just like we won gaining independence from Britain. BU$H is DEAD.

Its very obvious to me you have not a clue about education and its statistics.

First off the Texans are the 14th lowest with a average score of 991 and thats due to too many ilegals. The lowest scores belong to South Carolina. The lowest scores by city belong to DC. We also have one of the highest illiterate rates. Iowa and N Dakota have the highest of scores with a 1205 average. So once again you are wrong which doesnt suprise me. I have just about debacled everyone of your arguements in every thread and once I do this you leave or you dont rebut me. I wonder why? And dont result to your pathetic bashing and sissy-like tactics of whinebabying. I would like to converse in a civilized debate.

Then why did it say on your location Greece? Is that a lie? I think it is? The very person who redicules the pers. of so called lying is a liar himself? I think you dont have any room to judge my friend. :lol:

This I agree with. And wehy arent these politicians making light of able danger?

I HATE the power structure that is so EVIL that is in full reign right now.

I do agree here. But the way of bushwacking isnt the way to attain control. Professional killers dont go in the front door blazing their gun, but they sneak through the back door. Same applies here. You cannot go on with this ridiculing casue it wont get you anywhere. We must be smarter than that and better than that.

But I have faith in the American people that we will regain strength because the people of the US are SICK TO DEATH of the liars in DC and we will win; just like we won gaining independence from Britain.

I agree too but Bush isnt the problem. Our way of governing is. The problem is not 1 man but a whole structure of men. Your not going to solve one dam thing by removing Bush. In order to solve this problem its got to be to the point of anyone can run for office if they get minimum of a certain number of signitures. Whining about Bush makes you look like a cry baby and it wont solve anything.

Actually I was just GUESSING about TX!! HAHA!! And I was really VERY CLOSE! They also have the most homeless and are the MOST POLLUTED of any US state. Check the stats on that while you're googling away!! haha!!

But it is interesting that of ALL the 'worst' they are mostly very conservative states -- which proves my very point. But before you start whining about who you're 'debacled' -- just know that in THIS argument you've already lost. I don't know what you are asking 'why' about. Are you asking WHY Conservative states have below average stats?? If you are I can only answer with the fact that many of the people unlucky enough to live in places like that are largely religious, intolerant, prejudiced, bigoted and STUPID. Face it -- you are one of them!
