You're shitting me, right? 9/11 happened on dubya's watch.

See Auraptors late but not great thread claiming the economy is roaring.

...Speaking of credits: LOVED MINE
...Told UN.."We aim to misbehave!"..and followed through.

And why is that a good thing? Just wondering if this isn't ideological crap.

Damning with faint praise.

...Aids funding for Africa.
On the condition "abstinence only" is the only message. The result - AIDS is increasing in areas using Bush's tainted "help".
The rest of your post is too stupid to bother with.


Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

It makes me wonder whether you are a neo-nazi sympathizer yourself to know so much about these groups. German American Bund was made up of ethnic Germans, it's a wonder why they would be so ethnocentric during a time like the Great Depression.
The Order of 76, Silver Shirts and the German American Bund are all overrated as far as their influence goes unless you believe fervently like you do in such noble causes such as fascism and anti-semitism. Next you are probably going to tell me that the Holocaust never happened. Do yourself a favor and visit the Holocaust museum here in D.C. Although it probably make neo-nazis like yourself squeamish. Don't bother replying, I won't be reading any more of your propaganda. Have a nice day.

Congratulations! You are king of not being able to make a cogent argument and spouting bullshit .

A right winger accusing someone else of being evil because they can't come up with a cogent argument? Whatever next? Business as usual I guess.

A Nazi and a Liberal? Sounds a little far fetched, Nazi’s being right wing fascist extreme conservatives and all…

Mate all you had to do is say I'm right and you are wrong, you didn't need to attempt (fairly pathetically) to insult me. Nice to see you didn't answer any of my points, just called me a Nazi because my views are so demonstratably convergent from those of Nazis.

Go Vote Republican, the party that has historically shown itself to like Nazis, because it'll work with your pro-white supremacist mind set .
Don't bother replying, I won't be reading any more of your propaganda. Have a nice day.
Is a nice way of saying "I can't continue this discussion, I'm too stupid to converse with you on an equal level, back to the neo-Nazi websites for old amIadicklion."

Amialion,

your attempt at objectively showing some good things the president has done is appreciated,

but I'd watch the McCarthyite suggestion that knowing about something equates you to that thing. It's a bad way to frame things when you equate information with association -- you know, that whole chilling effect on learning history and looking at opposing ideas?

"We found out you subscribe to a socialist paper. When did you become a communist?"

not that your comment in itself carries such weight, but I wonder if this angle has occured to you.

As I have mentioned in two different threads, I am Canadian, Please do not assume that because I
may or may not disagree with you I must be an "Ugly American".

I believe the term you were looking for is differing viewpoint.

I'm sorry if pointing out that during the 1930's the Republican party had a fairly obvious Nazi connection upsets you to the point you need to bring my ancestry in too question, but frankly it's a fact, as is Britain’s Imperialist past and frankly you bringing it up doesn't bother me one little bit .



I was not trying to bother you in the least. I was merely trying to illustrate a point. It's good to see you can still carry on a reasonable discussion with someone without getting too personal. Oh and please try not to use that be all and end all argument of "well he started it".

BTW, careful when refering to attacks on ancestry, there could be descendents of the American Bund lurking about who wish people would just forget about their families questionable past.

Now for all the bad things you can say about Britain we've always stood up for our mates; which is how we got dragged into both World Wars. By comparison the States, erm hasn't. You got 'dragged' into the same conflicts by being attacked, because the prevailing opinion of the populace was that those wars were your allies 'problem' . Personally I think standing by your friends is a redeeming quality, maybe you have a different view?



I couldn't agree more. Must be the British blood that flows through my Canadian veins.

Disclaimer:
Much of what I just said is a little tongue in cheek, also a bit of a rebuke to the ad hominem on my country of origin, thought I'd better point that out in case you decided to spit the dummy like amIaLion.



Thanks for the response. You managed to post without invoking the NAFTACAFTASHASTA or jew commie pirate... argument. And once again, people can disagree with you, it is their right. It is also their right not to be labled a "dummy" if that is the case.



De-lurking to stir stuff up.

It was a joke, a fact I thought would be plainly obvious by the fact I actually told you it was.

Erm no I mean anti-liberal hate-filled extremist right-wing rant, reference PrairieDogg's post if you want.

Do me a favour; I'm the one in the wrong because I responded to personal insults by saying the exact same thing back, but the person who said them's okay, why's that?

Frankly if someone starts in on me with insults I'll reply. I didn't insult you so why the sermon? Why aren't you giving certain other posters here a telling off? Do you condone their comments?

I disagreed with someone and was called a Nazi right here in this thread because I dared to disagree. Someone you seem to be defending here (I'm struggling to find another justification for the "It's good to see you can still carry on a reasonable discussion with someone without getting too personal." line beyond sarcasm in that direction).

I didn't label anyone anything, I said someone SPAT the dummy, not that they were a dummy, because they lost their temper when I disagreed with them.

What more do you want from me, I outright said I was joking in my post when I replied to you, do you actually want me to open a vein or do you prefer speaking from a position of outraged moral high ground?

Regarding Katrina, National Geographic predicted the outcome a year before it actually happened. Therefore, it was known that it could occur.

I read an interview with this guy in the Navy. He said the big navy ship was in the Gulf, waiting to go in. All the President would have had to say was "Go". And he was incapable of doing that.

Though maybe, just maybe we could deal with the shit happening in our country if the NATIONAL GUARD wasn't in Iraq. National=U.S.=NOT Iraq.

Wow, that is upsetting. I wonder why Bush did not give the order? Maybe there were some jurisdictional conflicts or gross miscommunications. Do you possibly remember where you read the interview? Or even better, could you supply a link so my lazy ass won't have to look it up.
