Slow down 18T.
I, and many others on here stood/stand ready to defend ANY American's right to their own opinion. You included. The BIGGEST price of that freedom, one FEW are willing to voluntarily pay, is that you have to RESPECT others' opionions. NOT surrender your own, mind you, but, if you want people to RESPECT what YOU have to say you have to be ABLE to respect what others have to say, even if you DON'T agree with it.
As a member of the U.S. Armed Forces I may have an opinion about MY Commander-In-Chief, but I'd NEVER voice it. It may, or may not disrespect his "position." I also couldn't/wouldn't deliberately abrogate anothers' right to do so, assuming they weren't ALSO a member of the U.S. Armed Forces (in which case I may, or, may not choose to turn them in and collect the RE-ward, whoo-HOO!!!).
Besides, shooting someone down just because that have a different opinion is kinda childish, doncha think?.

Bush is an evil, terrible, horrible, killer, etc. Blah, blah, blah. We would have been in this position w/ any other person that would have taken office. I'm too tired to get into ANOTHER we hate Bush thread. Aren't there already a million of them?

RE: Air strike in Iraq
actually it was a sarcastic remark aimed at pturbo. i don’t think Bush is evil. but thanks for the typical patriotic speech.
i don’t feel bad for my views, i feel bad that people can be so compassionate about their own kind and feel nothing for the other people it hurts.
sorry I don’t have my blinders on today.

We shudda started smaller.. Mebbee built a coupla towns, first, worked our way UP to a County or three, THEN, if we dint FIU, try our hand at a State or Territory. THEN, and ONLY then, if we got them ALL right should we have attempted a Country.
