i was in the marines, 1970-73. i hope your son makes it home safe. i have a nephew and cousin who have served in iraq. they both made it home safely.<quoted text>
I agree,
My son is a Marine and it is killing me to have him serve under Bush.
I would have understood having him serve and risk his life in Afghanistan after 911 but now he will just be cleaning up the mistakes of what is perhaps the worst Administration this country has ever seen.
I am very proud of my son for serving his country as I am proud of all of the members of our armed services that did a miraculous job of doing what they were trained for during the invasions. I am deeply saddened that they are not led by a competent Commander and Chief and are stuck in a quagmire caused by a President who's reach far exceeded his grasp.

The "Muslim dominated governments" you mention happen to be theocracies. Governments in Europe and America are not theocracies. Even Italy, center of the Catholic faith, maintains separation of church and state and is therefore not a theocracy. In fact, Iraq was not even a theocracy (tough it may wind up being one after things shake out following our destruction of the social and govermental fabric there). If you want to see a place here where Jews refuse to integrate,continuing practices not congruous with their "new" homes and not becoming part of the existing culture, just visit some areas of Brooklyn. In fact, that's what **** have ALWAYS done: maintained their own culture as a subculture within a resident society. And EVEN SO, look at how many American Jews have "reformed" to a much greater adoptation of their "new" homeland's culture. That takes generations. Here's two more examples of faith-based groups that take deliberate pains not to assimliate into the larger Amercian culture: the Amish and many Mormon sects. The most recent immigrant groups have ALWAYS been the least assimilated and therefore the most "trouble." For that reason, I agree that influxes of ANY ethnic or religious group ought to be limited in size and rate of immigration. I don't know where you get that 10% of Muslims are Jihadists. Our goverment's estimation of the number of Islamic terrorists - which, I take it, means members of groups designated as terrorist organizations - as being in the tens of thousands - something on the order of 20,000. If you're suggesting that there are some 129.8 million freelance terrorists operating as independent practictioners among the Muslim populations, I'd have to seriously doubt that. |

Are you talking about Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn? Here's the difference, as far as I can tell-they don't have organized "councils" which seek to influence policy in a way that I've gone into, ad nauseum, in previous posts. Their affect on demographics is miniscule, meaning they don't "breed like rats". OK, that's a very offensive remark but its's my way of honoring Oriana Fallaci. I think your 20,000 number is severely underestimated but I'd have to see where you got that info. I think my conservative estimate of 5 million is more reasonable. |

Hi Ann (thanks for the kind words earlier, flattery will get you everywhere). The Hasidim in Brooklyn, indeed are trying to influence policy, at least at the local level. Many are trying to get stores to close on the Sabbath. As for demographics, many Hasidic families are very large (9 to 10 kids)so it's not from a lack of trying! I will agree that 20,000 terrorists sounds a little on the low side. It's always a little tough to get a head count, I would doubt that Al Qaeda has an organization chart, but you never know. |

Yes, capitalism does favor the most powerful; but the brightest? That's another story. Pure, unrestricted capitalism will ultimately evolve to favor the powerful and well-connected only, whether they be bright or not. Its natural tendency is to consolidate wealth and leverage, stifling competition and eventually shutting out any opportunity for upstarts and startups, however bright, to get any sort of foothold. That this hasn't happened here is because organized labor and government has frequently intereceded. I'd be curious to know just what the conservative idea of "deserving" happens to be, in your eyes. You say millions were "ALLOWED to RIDE the coatails" of Ford,GM, & GE." Oh, really? And here I thought all those millions were providing the service of their labor to MAKE those companies the great successes they were. So, is some low-level worker slaving his butt off for a company really SO much less deserving than some part owner in the company who got where is is by being the son, grandson, or great-grandson of the bright guy who formed the company? Is that worker so MUCH less deserving that he ought to earn a salary that barely lets him live in a car while the scion earns enough to have three mansions and a yacht and never had to worry about money a day in his life? Is a mother working two **** jobs to support her children really SO much less deserving than a lady of leisure who sinks millions of her family's money into stocks so she can spend her days playing tennis? You say you don't want the government preventing companies from running their businesses as they see fit - using antismoking laws as an example (by the way, that's more a libertarian than a conservative point of view). But how do you feel about the governent not allowing companies to hire children? Or to demand that employees work ceaselessly for 12 hour days, seven days a week? Or to demand their empoyers to work in dangerous conditions so they can save a buck? If these are liberal ideas, I'm all for 'em. Aren't you?(They also, incidently, serve to rein in capitalism, for which the buck, and the buck only, is the almighty bottom line.) Funny, I hear liberals being judgemental about thing that I consider to be the most terrible behavior ALL THE TIME. I also hear them calling for accountability for that behavior, and for the Constitutional rules of law to be applied equally to ALL. So yes, I absolutely can and DO deny what you say about that. I guess liberals and conservatives just differ on what exactly constitutes the most terrible behavior. Personally, I think the liberals have their priorities a whole lot more in order. |

Can you imagine if this guy actually becomes our President?
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said. "That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added. So what is leadership? Doing what other countries espect us to do? And I don't get this comment. "Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying,'We're going to wipe you off the planet.'" Doesn't it follow that we would negotiate with the Soviet Union because they had nuclear warheads pointed at us? But what is in it for us to negotiate with Iran? It was bad enough that that little Iranian midget was invited to speak at Columbia University; but a sitting President meeting with this thug? Soaring rhetoric does not a President make. |

I couldn't find any organizational charts for Al Qaeda but I did come across some of their typically sophisticated tactics (from Al Qaeda manual found by UK intelligence): "Poisoning From Eating Spoiled Food" Fill a pot with corn and green beans. Put in a small piece of meat and about two spoonfuls of fresh excrement. Pour the water into..." Well, you get the idea. They have a ways to go before they figure out an Excel spreadsheet. |

Yep, I heard that speech too. Another "moral Dem". I'll translate the Obama..."You all out there, you Americans... you're greedy. You must do without, and then the world will respect us. Me, I'll keep my mansion, as I deserve it." Obama fits right in with the rest of the eco-hypocrites. |
