I wish I could blank them out of my mind, I can't!

The lie has rippled into our television sets....
flooding the airwaves with violent movies, and glamorizing war.

These images, to some could very well just look like a scene from their favorite weekly show.

If your going to glorify war..you need to take a closer look.

Can you imagine if these photos were posted in every mainline newspaper and in every glossy magazine just for one day what an uproar there would be.

I have another photo to post but I am away from home at the moment.

The killing of innocents can never ever be justified.

Cheer up Ladylid....we are winning the war on wardrinker drinker

I remember posting about how Muslims treat their women and female children.


I was told, by liberals, it was none of our business. They have their own cultures. It's ok to sexually mutilate children. It was ok that a mother held he 13 year old daughter down so her husband could rape her.

Now, libs are all up in arms about the atrocities.

Ok, if I get this correct.
War is hell, war is bad.
Then, we should never go to war again? For any reason?

No, I never said that. I never wrote that. I said that oil is worth going to war for, because without oil millions of Americans would die of starvation and disease. I don't believe we should go to war to steal oil, but we should definitely go to war to protect our oil suppliers or the flow of oil through international waters. This isn't the way I want things to be, but I'm a realist. Open up our own oil fields and we won't have to go to war over oil ever again.

I never said that. War, like Government, is a necessary evil.

Veterans and children....my 2 charities...

I don't concern myself in the affairs of others unless it affects those things which affect me.

Other nations have people to fight their own battles, if help is needed it should be given, but ONLY for the cause of humanitarian interest!. But who picks who we support? What kind of support? Who actually receives it? How involved dare we become? Will the cure be worse than the affliction?

Our govt has shown itself incapable of handling our own affairs! How can we trust its judgement on foreign affairs?

Iraq? Worse than before, now suffering from ethnic cleansing! Afghanistan? Well, it is now 3000 times easier to get a good bag of heroin for our kids! Libya? Please! Don't make me laugh! Iran? Yep, the CIA sure did a good job with the install of the Shah!

How about Amin? Noriega? Gaddafi? How many others what

You right.
Read, up in Alaska alone, there is enough oil to last us 100 years.

War is a financially sound investment and it helps Barry create and save jobs.

So we invade countries, take over their oil fields, then because they are ours we kill the population to protect them.... so Americans don't starve.....

Makes perfect sense! slaphead

That is not only a straw man, but it has never happened and a democracy like ours wouldn't allow it to happen.

It does when your brainwashed.
It does when all you care about is yourself and your own.
It does we you have NO understanding of our connection to each other.
