		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;...and I see Bang is making moves on Sis. tsk tsk tsk&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

- Ummmm.... well...If I weren&#039;t old enough to be ST&#039;s daddy, maybe even her grandaddy, that idea might be apropos. But, given 25 years younger, well I tell you what.... *chuckle*. A younger man could hardly do better in a gal. In the means time, I&#039;m not going to stomp on a flattering rumor, no-siree.... :d

		<description>I know Bak.  I am just thinking out loud.  I know that if I am called whitey, or honkey or whatever the latest slang is, that it is only rebellion to &quot;the man&quot;, whatever that means.  But if I were to use the &quot;n&quot; or &quot;s&quot; or &quot;g&quot; words, it would be racism.  LOL :) It just gives me a chuckle.  - Lorica</description>

		<description>You Know, getting back to the racism discussion, I find it odd that everytime I hear a Freedomcenter.org commercial, invariably the white guy is the racist.  I find it odd that there is no such thing as a black person or oriental or hispanic person that could possibly be racist. Libs, you just gotta love &#039;em.  Ohhh Hi all, I am back from my vacation.  Grandma turned 90 on Sunday and we thought we would drive to Grandma&#039;s house, all 7 hours, and surprise her.  It was fun.  Missed you all, and I see Bang is making moves on Sis. tsk tsk tsk - Lorica</description>

		<description>angryamerican,
In conjunction with what you have said, I wanted everyone here to see what typical Anti-American crap there is out there.  I have been visiting a particular blog to see first hand what these people (Anit American) are like and what they are thinking.  I invite each you to visit this blog and if you care, to comment.  
The host is an Iranian who lives in Toronto, Canada.  He is NOT typical of most Iranians I know (I know many).  There are a few true Americans on the site who dispute what he tries to pass off as fact and it is very humorous to see his responses.  If you like, please take a look, you will really laugh your butt off.

		<description>angryamerican: As a sworn daily enemy of America, I presume your questioning of the US media&#039;s traitorous acts and deeds is rhetorical. 

If all these historical revisionists could have their way about just one thing, we could go back to the time when such illicit actions as they (MSM) practice daily with every printing, were punished. If I knew how to link stuff, you would now see a squad of riflemen and a gallows/tree/lightpole.</description>

		<description>BIN LADEN: &quot;We experienced the Americans through our brothers who went into combat against them in Somalia, for example. We found they had no power worthy of mention. There was a huge aura over America -- the United States -- that terrified people even before they entered combat. Our brothers who were here in Afghanistan tested them, and together with some of the mujahedeen in Somalia, God granted them victory. America exited dragging its tails in failure, defeat, and ruin, caring for nothing.&quot; 

&quot;America left faster than anyone expected. It forgot all that tremendous media fanfare about the new world order, that it is the master of that order, and that it does whatever it wants. It forgot all of these propositions, gathered up its army, and withdrew in defeat, thanks be to God.&quot;
 
Osama then added, &quot;The battle has moved to inside America.  We will work to continue this battle, God permitting, until victory or until we meet God before that occurs. &quot;

He believed that 9/11 was just the beginning and that many suicide bombings would have occured by now inside America. 
Osama envisioned the &quot;war&quot; being inside America, but America brought the war to him and now Islamic Extremist Jihadists are flocking to Iraq and Afghanistan to die.
------------------------------------------------
 
We have to win in Iraq.  al-Qaeda&#039;s #2 Abu Musab al-Zaraqawi personally sawed off American&#039;s and Iraqi&#039;s heads.  He was the equivalent to Mohammed Atta, the ring leader of 9/11, but instead Zarqawi went to Iraq to fight &quot;Jihad&quot; rather than come to the United States and plan another 9/11.
 
This enabled our U.S. Military to send the monster to hell and not be able to plan attacks for inside America, which captured intelligence has shown he was planning attacks for America.
 
God bless our U.S. Soldiers fighting the evil in Iraq and Afghanistan.  
 
Our American Heroes understand what they are fighting and what they are fighitng for, but do the rest of Americans??  If we pull out of Iraq now we give al-Qaeda another Somalia that they can take over.  
Do we want this to happen to Iraq and give Osama another &quot;win&quot; and another country for  Islamic Extremist Radicals to base operations??!!!

		<description>But the United States never responded, which emboldened the terrorists into believing they could carry out 9/11 and begin attacking inside America at will.
 
I am not saying Clinton is at fault for 9/11.  
19 al-Qaeda terrorists were reponsible, but we can&#039;t lose our back bone in the Iraq WAR.    We are winning.
 
We brought the war to the terrorists.
 
Bin Laden never believed we would bring the war to him:

The two young U.S. Soldiers were tortured and slowly-excruciatingly killed, where is the outrage???!!.  CNN ran the Abu Graib abuse photos for weeks.  They had every &quot;expert&quot; on to &quot;discuss&quot; this outrage?  
&lt;a href=&quot;http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2006/06/what-really-happened-to-privates.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LINK&lt;/a&gt;
 
The American Heroes&#039; private parts were cut off and shoved in their mouths before their heads were slowly sawed off and were allowed to slowly bleed out until death!!!!  Where is the outrage of these animals?
 
This is what we are fighting.  I would rather have animals like this flocking to Iraq and Afghanistan to die in &quot;Jihad&quot; rather than be flocking to America.
 
Based on the U.S. pulling out of Beireut and Somalia Osama Bin Laden, stated in two seperate interviews with CNN and CBS, that their would be &quot;hundreds of holy warriors in America commiting many 9/11s&quot;.   Osama did not believe we would bring the war to him.

<p>The two young U.S. Soldiers were tortured and slowly-excruciatingly killed, where is the outrage???!!.  CNN ran the Abu Graib abuse photos for weeks.  They had every &#8220;expert&#8221; on to &#8220;discuss&#8221; this outrage?<br />

<p>The American Heroes&#8217; private parts were cut off and shoved in their mouths before their heads were slowly sawed off and were allowed to slowly bleed out until death!!!!  Where is the outrage of these animals?</p>
<p>This is what we are fighting.  I would rather have animals like this flocking to Iraq and Afghanistan to die in &#8220;Jihad&#8221; rather than be flocking to America.</p>
<p>Based on the U.S. pulling out of Beireut and Somalia Osama Bin Laden, stated in two seperate interviews with CNN and CBS, that their would be &#8220;hundreds of holy warriors in America commiting many 9/11s&#8221;.   Osama did not believe we would bring the war to him.</p>

		<description>Well, I won&#039;t make comparisons to racism in this case, just as I abhor the comparisons made by leaders of the gay community, mainly because there are none.  But I thought this Ozzie Guillen story is another example of the special treatment given to the gay community as a result of such comparisons and other whining.  All the while, this &quot;slight&quot; against them is held up as the bigger issue concerning one person fueding with another.  When I find myself at odds with someone, the words they use are nowhere near as hurtful as the tone and intent behind them.  If I was called a stupid pollack, which in some ways I am, I&#039;d hardly be thinking about how my ancestors have been insulted, since it was so obvious the insult was hurled at me.  

At the same time, I am in total agreement with sentiments regarding double standards.  Even more so, I find it insanely frustrating that in this day and age, folks are, on the whole, far more sensitive to name calling.  What the hell ever happened to &quot;sticks and stones&quot;?  It&#039;s a ruse to stir controversy and/or to avoid the real issue of another controversy.</description>

		<description>- Au contrare&#039; mon ami ... Tis &quot;identity politics&quot; at its worst.....All minority groups need the double standard to protect them from the howling mob majority, don&#039;t cha know.... Just ask a &quot;Progressive&quot;, the self appointed guardians of the oppressed. At least thier votes anyway. For a prime example of that, watch Arrrrnnold, as he manuevers the NG on the border issue here in Cal. Gotta hang onto that hispanic block, no matter what. Victimhood is alive and well in American politics...
