Terrorism is not a threat to our survival.

[kurtsprincess]

Thats how I see it anyway.

Based upon what type of experience?

Sure its a big concern, but fighting terrorism is easy.

Easy? Would you be willing to submit a research paper on just exactly what comes easy about fighting for democracy?

Dont fall into their fear strategy, and capture the leaders as an example.

OK son.............put on your uniform and go get them for us!!!!

Why are we focusing all our energy on fighting terrorists and anti-US factions in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Well, let's see...........you tell us that it would be easy to capture the terrorist leadership and you seem to be set on the fact that they are not in Iraq or Afghanistan..........so, if you know where they are, and it's so easy to capture them...........I say ........... GO FOR IT!!!! You've got 100% of my support young man.

Our biggest focus should be on the economy, and no the free market won't fix it.

And, please tell us.......what are you doing to help out with our economy?

LOL the economy is doing well because of the free market and that is precisely what will keep it going strong. Socialism doesn't work and never has...

Bonnie, if we gave out awards for signature quotes, I'd vote for yours.

Tsk tsk ...... Bonnie, you are WAY too polite. Socialism leads to mediocrity. Why should anyone bother excelling if Joe Average can slime along through doing bare minimum and get the same check. Incentive GONE.

Free market is total newspeak bullshit.
Having corporations write the rules for themselves is destructive to this country, and I pray to god that it never is fully integrated.

Socialism is where the government controls commerce and industry right? I duno anyone who likes this idea, sounds like communism.

What I believe is totally different...
I believe in democracy in the way that jefferson and Roosevelt envisioned it.
i believe in capatalism that is responsible to democracy and the American people.
And No i do not believe that a corporation is a human being with rights. Like walmart believes.

 

[CSM]

Well, hasn't this thread just about run its course (as winding as it is)?

We now have an expert on the board who can do quite easily what the United States military and others haven't been able to do...fight terrorism! Not only that, said expert also knows all about economics too and is going to do what 40 some odd Presidents of this country could not do and fix that as well....

We should all be honored by this august presence!

 

[dmp]

If you think that these terrorists are a threat to this country's SURVIVAL, your scared shitless and they win.

What makes you think Terrorists only want to 'scare' us? They don't 'win' - in their minds - until everyone who is NOT A MUSLIM is dead.

(shrug).

Yes capitalism should have safe gaps in it, however there are way too many regulations in place now stifling business. It is corporations that supply jobs period. The government cannot create jobs, all big government does is siphen away money from corporations, small businesses, and tax payers and redistributes to those who for the most part can work but have been so brainwashed into thinking the world owes them everything they see no need to.

Roosevelt's temporary welfare system intended to help pull people out of the depression worked for a time, but has now become the largest entitlement in our government and is slowly going bankrupt with no one in government willing to do what it takes to empower people to take care of themselves and do away with it.

Simple enough, ey D? You would think that is fairly obvious by now, what with the beheadings of innocents, calls for Jihad, and all. Sigh.

CSM,
Thanks for the welcome. I AM suprised even you don't know how to fight terrorism.
Terrorism is a THREAT, intimindation, the use of FEAR. Its not a threat to our survival. Why is it not instantly clear the easiest way to fight them?

DMP,
You said: "They don't 'win' - in their minds - until everyone who is NOT A MUSLIM is dead."
Ya, in mideast countries. They don't give a crap if we live in the USA.

Bonnie,
You said: "It is corporations that supply jobs period."
Sorry, that is incorrect. Small businesses supply the MOST jobs.
Really though, jobs are not the issue, slaves have jobs.
Good jobs are important, If you WORK HARD, pay TAXES. You get enough to put your kids through college and retire. Everyone should have this option, no matter on education.
SORRY, but without free universities, like some of our founding fathers wanted. We cannot expect everyone to have a topclass education.

You are mostly correct on FDR's new deal legislation. It was created to last about this long, it served the babyboomers just like everyone expected.
IT DIDNT FAIL!!! it worked, we just need something new and NOT written by corporations.




So, where do ya'll get your news at? Entertainment tonight? weekly standard?

No, they want us dead because we 'don't believe'. What are you reading to base your opinions off? It's naive to think Radical Muslims simply want to leave us alone.

Yes I know all about small business as my family owns one, so yes it is small busniess and corporations that create jobs.
The government cannot make jobs or good jobs unless you become a civil servant. And everyone does have the option and opportunity to be sucessful........If kids want free college get a scholarship, or work your way thru college as many already have done and are doing now, there are government loans for school that are under 2%.

And no Social security is not working, it gives out a pittence to people who have worked their whole lives.....If people were allowed to save their money for savings and investment they would have triple the money to retire with. You really have a very big problem thinking governement is the answer for everything....

BTW the writers at the "Weekly Standard" have it all over you in the intellect darpartment......

He bases that off the same thing it appears he bases everything from ... The Jimmy Carter Academy.

I guess the terrorists on 9-11 were lost.

They accidentally ran out of fuel.

Hot flash for ya there sweetheart. I know more about fighting terrorism than you ever will. Your way doesn't work...appeasement and ignoring the boogey man wont make him go away. The fundamental difference between you and I is that I do see terrorism as a threat to my survival...you apparently would not mind living under Islam...I would.

Just because you have an opinion does not make you right.

Bonnie,
Maybe you will never understand this, but we are the government in this country. Those people in office only represent us.
Your constituents see to destroy this idea.

Dmp,
The terrorists are like every other group of radical religious extremists.
Just like white christian terrorists want 'blacks' to go back to africa. They want us out of arabia. heh, maybe just our troops out. That was binladens main gripe.


The rest of you seem too simple minded for me to reply. All you have are insults. NICE!

Wrong wrong wrong. Don't you pay attention? They want us either converted to Islam or dead...no matter where we live.
