QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 12:40 PM) Valuing your friends and family more is one thing, obviously, but then you go on to add nationalism, racism and religious bigotry to your list of reasons why they are worth less as human beings to you. Not everyone in this world is worth the same to me, or to most sane people. If it was between saving your mom or some random stranger, would you just coin flip it?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) Did you have to make this sound so racist that it makes me want to agree with SB? Figured i would save you all the mental gymnastic to make whatever I said appear that way. Bottom line is I don't give a crap about anyone over there. I have zero desire to help them. If they need help they need to get it from someone 'like' them, otherwise whatever our motives actually are, they will be described as less than honorable since we are NOT like them. You know, white devil, American scum, all that. No thanks.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Shooting a bunch of tomahawk missiles won't cause any American deaths, but I care about Syrian deaths, too. They're not worth anything less than you because of where they live in the world. They are worth less to me because they are not me, my family, my friends, my tribe (country). That whole area over there is messed up. There will need to be a lot more deaths before anything is even near being normal. Let them kill themselves and stay out of it. I just don't care enough to want to do anything. Somebody else can do it. Somebody closer. Somebody with the same religion or skin tone or ideals. Just not us.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 30, 2013 -> 07:46 AM) I see no good endings in any scenario. No intervention = ??? deaths, ??? in power We intervene = ??? deaths, extremist muslims in power From my understanding of this situation, we're not going to want either group in power, but Assad's regime may be better. Not to mention the long term effect is more money, more risk of getting sucked into another conflict, and more of a permanent hit on foreign relations in that region. No, there is a very good ending here. No intervention = no American deaths and i don't give a f*** who's in power, but it will probably be Assad.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) Where did you get this absurd notion from? I say. From only reading one page of comments.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 10:47 AM) FTFY yeah, but does HE know he is VP?

Senator Joe Biden in 2007: I Will Move To Impeach If President Bush Bombs Iran Without Congressional Approval. Senator Joe Biden in 2013: Syria is OK to bomb without approval.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 01:57 AM) I think I better take the Fifth. I don't want to come across as rude or superficial. I would have gone with 2 fifths, but if you can get drunk enough on just one, more power to ya.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 27, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) Greg, let's just skip to the important question. Would you hit that? That is, Hilary Clinton. How much alcohol do I get to drink first? And would I get a reality show out of it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 05:50 PM) Oh my! Why isn't she in the kitchen cooking and cleaning like she's supposed to? It's not the language, it's the total lack of respect for the people around her, the agents trying to do their job and protect her and so on. The disdain for people beneath her is just wrong. I bet she is a lousy tipper as well.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 01:01 PM) So you changed the topic from drone strikes to Bush and the patriot act, and I am the misdirector and subject changer for calling you out on your flip flop? yes

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) wow, how well did you know him personally? that must be so cool. Well I am reading the Reagan Diaries. Good enough for me.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 12:00 PM) You could compile such a list about literally anyone. really? You think Reagan or either of the Bushes went out of their way to berate their security details? Hell Ronnie didn't even like saying 'Damn', he sure as hell wouldn't be throwing f-bombs at the help.

Anyone else would have been fired, ie forced to resign, after Bengazi. Take off your party blinders on just that for a moment and see that you would have been SCREAMING about the dereliction of duty had it come out that Condi ignored requests for more security claiming that they didn't have enough money, yet spent the same amount of money to 'green up' an embassy in Europe. Especially when it resulted in the deaths of several people. But the Dems seem to fail upward. She handled that situation poorly at best. And her screaming at people 'what does it matter!', well, it certainly does matter, especially to the people who were killed under your watch. That whole situation will be hung around her neck when she runs. And all the coverups won't be enough to shut everyone up. They can hide the survivors for a while, but sooner or later they will be found.

Eight quotes from eight different books about HIllary….These are her actual words. What a sweet -lady? (1) “Where is the G*damn flag? I want the G*damn f**king flag up every morning at f**king sunrise.” From the book “Inside the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 244; Hillary to staff at the Arkansas Governor’s mansion on Labor Day 1991. (2) “F**k off! It’s enough I have to see you s***-kickers every day! I’m not going to talk to you, too!! Just do your G*damn job and keep your mouth shut.” From the book ” America Evita” by Christopher Anderson, p. 90; Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with “Good Morning.” (3) “If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags!” From the book “The First Partner” p. 259; Hillary to a Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident. (4) “Stay the f**k back, stay the f**k back away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! Just f**king do as I say, Okay!!?” From the book “Unlimited Access” by Clinton ’s FBI Agent-in-Charge, Gary Aldrige, p. 139; Hillary is screaming at her Secret Service detail. (5 )”Where’s the miserable c**k sucker?” (otherwise known as “Bill Clinton.” From the book “The Truth about Hillary” by Edward Klein, p.5; Hillary shouting at a Secret Service officer. (6 )”You f**king idiot” From the book “Crossfire” ~ p. 84; Hillary to a State Trooper who was driving her to an event. (7) “Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need those f**king sunglasses! We need to go back! From the book “Dereliction of Duty” p. 71-72; Hillary to Marine One helicopter pilot to turn back while en route to Air Force One. (8) “Come on Bill, put your d**k up! You can’t f**k her here!!” From the book “Inside the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 243; Hillary to Gov. Bill Clinton when she spots him talking with an attractive female

In some areas there does exist the 'stigma' of 'acting white'. It does exist. Go ahead, call me a racist for pointing that out. I don't claim to know why that exists, but it does. I also witnessed it with some of my friends in high school, although that was many years ago. But they caught hell for hanging with us white kids for 'trying to be white'.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) i find it funny that Republicans rip on the two people in our political landscape with the best credentials and experience to run this country for being either 1) at b**** or 2) crazy. well... if that's crazy, then I'd hate to hear how you describe your candidates... Joe is a f***ing nutbag, like the drunk uncle you try to ignore at family gatherings. Just because he has been sucking off the government teat forever doesn't make him competent to be President. And just because Hillary sucked up her dignity and stayed with Bill doesn't make her fit to be president either. I don't HAVE to have a viable person to replace them to say that they would SUCK at the job. You still never told me just what Hillary's credentials are. Job titles don't do it. And McCain is a demented old man obsessed with being liked by the media, Palin believes her own hype way too much and Rand Paul will never be able to escape the crazy of his dad. Romney had better 'credentials' than Obama, or Joe or Hillary for that matter.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 11:49 PM) I will say this ... I'd rather have Hillary than Sarah Palin. That's all I can say good about Hillary. How educated people could think Sarah Palin was a suitable Veep candidate (one breath from the button) is beyond comprehension. The same way any Democrat thinks that crazy Joe is a good choice to be one heartbeat away.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 03:38 PM) the irony is that the post I was quoting had nothing to do with her policies and everything to do with her personality. so your post is completely off-topic. Greg wasn't DISAGREEING with her, he was calling her a b**** because she's a strong woman who doesn't put up with bulls***. It didn't have to be in direct response to your post. Consider it a prediction. Every criticism of her job at State and any mention of Bengazi, or Monica or Travelgate or Hillarycare will be construed somehow as a 'war on women'.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) greg you're just wrong about this. Hillary - whether you believe it or not - is the most probably the most popular politician in America right now. In the small circle you run around in perhaps.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 09:28 AM) this post is just so ignorant in so many ways. strong woman = b****? really? Yeah, I really look forward to the Hillary presidency so i can be called a sexist instead of a racist for a change every time i disagree with her.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 22, 2013 -> 07:11 PM) and besides of course being a senator and secretary of state and her health care stuff as you mentioned, right? Are you seriously questioning her credentials? show me Ted Cruz's resume. Or anyone else on the GOP side. Let's see how it stacks up in comparison. I dare ya. Yes I am questioning her credentials. What did she do in those positions? If she sucked at them, which I contend she did, then merely serving in the positions is no qualification. Her State career is a joke. If you think that is in any way a positive thing to put on her 'resume', you are mistaken. Her Senate terms were unremarkable. And once she runs, they can pull out every subtle age jab that the Dems used against McCain.
