I realize that this is somewhat off topic, but do you have any update on the British Court's decision to allow the previously redacted testimony regarding the actions taken against the individuals on trial? Has it been released yet? Will it ever be?
Thanks for the info. Missed all that. Just was wondering why he wasn't "patriotic" enough to have a more 'Merkinized handle....even though he's obviously a late addition to the troll roster.
If you're such a red-blooded American, why do you use an Austrian company for your handle? There are plenty of U.S. firearms companies that make .45 caliber handguns. It's kind of funny that you manage to make yourself look like an ass so easily. Perhaps you can make an alt with a more appropriate name like American Jesus Warrior Samuel Colt Navy .45?? I like that...
..there's a pipeline that's coming through? LOGCAP x, cost plus....someday this war is gonna be over..Why stay here and be jobless? I hear there's plenty of work if you don't mind signing away your rights to arbitration. Go live in a shipping container there or a bush here. Why should we build things in the U.S.? Don't you know that roads and bridges last forever? They do last longer than Hope and Change apparently..
Sometimes they want you to believe like you are going to the dentist, when he asks you how much nitrous you want. At first they give you what you asked for but pretty soon they are sending you down to Mexico to find em. Where'd they go, I don't know. Where'd the cheese go? I don't know. But you can't have smoke without fire breaks. Anyhow.........
"That's just my personal view. Alcohol and drunkenness is disgusting, not at all glamorous, and I will highly discourage everyone from drinking (most importantly my own kids)."
Which is why your kids will probably grow up to be drinkers....
So what if I do like cougars?
I believe it's called freedom of speech. You don't have to read it. I find some people's comments here deeply disturbing also. But I will defend their right to say what they want. It's in the Constitution. Check it out.
As someone that has a brother that fought in Afghanistan with NSW for 2 years, and also as someone who has a good friend that was a Marine Corps Scout Sniper in Ramadi for a tour, let me tell you this; In every conversation that I have had, at no time have they ever, ever come out in favor of torture or torture-like interrogation. They, the ones that actually have put their lives in danger- not just some fat ass right wing nutjobs on message boards- know that this kind of behavior will be used against them if they are captured. It may be anyways, but don't think the "enemy" isn't well appraised of our activity. Secondly, ask the men that interrogated the Nazi's what their best technique was. It wasn't torture. It was sitting down and talking to them over a period of weeks and getting to know them. Look it up if you don't believe it. Thirdly, when we abdicate our morals and adopt the techniques of our adversary, we have lost. Period. You might still have your H2, and your poorly built tract housing, your plasma screen TV, your overweight crotchfruit running amok.....But you have become what you are fighting. And no amount of doublespeak, false equivalencies, or fear-mongering is going to change that fact. For real. I suggest you take a long look at your ideology and beliefs. But I know you won't. That takes introspection, something Republicans have never had a use for. Anyways, as long as there are people like you, there will be people like me trying to shut you down.
Cheers!
No, you're not.
make fart noises while the pastor is speaking. Did they not learn their lessons in Sunday School? It's not about them, though they desperately crave the attention and will do just about anything to get it. Another example of the maturity of mind that comes from being a "conservative" that isn't at all. If they can live with their own twisted logic, they damn well expect you to. Sad little men......
..are we reforming when government run health care, single payer AND public option are not even being considered? Same old story.
..no? Sorry, I like the clause and the idea that you have to have grown up here.
He can't. Hawaii does not allow the original copy to released to the public. And yes, that's right, just because he is President of the United States doesn't mean he can march over and demand it be given to him and hold it up over his and jump up and down for you clowns. That is WHY the Republican governor of Hawaii went to the State Archives ( Department of Records, whatever) and personally saw it, and verified it herself. The form he got is what they give you when you need to prove your birth. I was born in Minneapolis. I cannot get the original birth certificate. I can get the short form. Which I have used to get my license and my passport, and to prove my citizenship many, many times.. Am I not a U.S. citizen? Just the face the fact that you are a racist and the real problem that birthers have is that somehow a black man became President. I think that pretty much sums it up. You'll just continue to move the goalposts, continue to fling shit until something sticks, continue to kick and scream like the whiny little babies that you evidently are. And I will continue to wish our Founding Fathers would have dealt with slavery at the beginning.
