Two weeks and a handful of days

OK computer freaks...what does this mean?

Hey Hey! What do you know... I said the F word and didn't get kicked off the TDR. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. Maybe because I disquised it with misspelling. :D

I stand my my first post in this thread. It gets old. I stopped listening to Rush during the day because he gets old. When Clinton was in office, all Rush's show was about for three hours a day every day was bashing Clinton. Now Clinton is gone. He still can't get over it. His show is nothing more than hateful bashing of the left. I'm not a left wing extremist. I don't like anything they stand for. I won't even buy an "American Slam" at Denny's. But on the other hand, if the right wing's agenda is bashing the left, that's not a productive agenda either. It doesn't bring the country together in any way. It only devides us further. When Bush sent the troops into Iraq, the whole country was behind him. Even the liberals. So we're all responsible for us being there. Now that we're there and it's not all roses, the liberals are having a change of heart. That comes as no surprise. But I've heard it enough. I'm standing in the middle trying to ignore the left lean more positively to the right. Rush and his followers won't let that happen. They rant and cry non-stop about what Clinton and the liberal media does. Why do you even watch CNN if you don't like what they offer. I watch FOX news for the most part. I don't want to watch the liberals whining about what's fair and I don't want to listen to Rush and his followers whining about what Clinton and the liberal are whining about. It gets old. The TV is off as it usually is for that reason. Then to log onto the TDR and see that Saddam was captured, time to jump up and celebrate, then to read, "but,... I have to cry about what the liberals and Clinton are doing and I have to take this oportunity to cry about it" right in the middle of a thread that's about celebrating the capture of Saddam? All the crying from the left and right gets old. So it ticked me off. I applogize to no-one. I stand by what I said.

For Saddam, his sentence was already begun. He was hiding in a hole in the ground obviously scared to the point of begging for mercy. As much as I would like him to be tortured for the way he treated his own people, I think the goal is to remove him from power and liberate the people of Iraq. Not to lower ourselves to his level. But it sure is easy to think about torturing the old b-expletive.
 
Maybe you should re-read the post. If Robin wants me gone, I'll be gone. No big loss either way. What's your point. Baiting?
 
Steve,

I like having you around, don't get me wrong.



But I think if you want to participate in these threads, you should open your private message box up so we can discuss things off the boards. :)
 
I have had the term "right wing extremist" applied to me many times due to my interaction via school etc with a pretty liberal crowd of folks. I finally decided to scientifically investigate the situation and find out if I really was a right wing extremist.



So, I went to Hooters for lunch with the guys at work. Had a platter of hot wings and carefully logged my reactions. Quickly finding that one experiment provided too little data for analysis, I returned to Hooters several times before the study was finished. With the help of several nubile waitresses, I finally figured out where I really stand in the political spectrum.



Turns out I am actually a right BREAST extremist... :D Oo. :p
 
Just about any political problem can be solved with the application of nubile waitresses. That's it - the day Hooters opens it's first Baghdad store is the day we've truly won!
 
Hooterville in the middle of Baghdad? I don't think you'd want to be served by one of their's in short shorts and tank top. :eek:

I too took the Hooter's test. I'm a leg man myself and found myself just right of the left leg on some issues and just left of the right leg on others. :D

But as some of you have pointed out, if I grew some skin, I could probably enjoy it a little longer. :cool:
 
In all seriousness, I think we're on to something here. We won't be able to instill democracy in Iraq unless and until they fall in love with our culture. Jeans, McDonalds, Nike shoes, Dodge trucks - these are all American things beloved the world over (well, okay, at least parts of the world). Hooters maybe to a lesser extent. Until young Iraqis spend more time speaking English at McDonalds and less learning Wahabbism in Madrassas, we won't win.
 
By George (pun intended), I believe we're onto something as well. Let's just load up a bunch of Americans, go to Iraq and build car dealerships, strip malls, convenience stores (aka "stop & robs"), shopping centers, Burger Kings, McDonalds, Pizza Huts and Hooters (with American girls) in every town over 1000 people. Sort of a democratization of Iraq by the American people, not the American government. The Islamic fundamentalists wouldn't have a chance!! :{ Heck, Iraq would be petitioning the U. S. to admit it as the 51st state. ;)



(Hey, it worked in London. Anyone been there lately? You come out of the tube on the Strand, and the first things you see are Burger King, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. The American burger joints put Wimpy's out of business, and the Brits are grateful for it! :D )



Quick - does anyone have Colin Powell's phone number? Oo. Oo.

Yeah, Walter Reed Medical Center, recovering from prostate surgery.

I guess we're all being a bit sarcastic, but there's a fundamental truth - unless the Iraqi culture grows (or declines, depending on your point of view) to be more like the American culture, we have no business trying to force democracy on them. Our form of govt. is a glorious experiment, worked out over more than two hundred years and a bunch of wars. What makes us so arrogant to think that we can instill the democratic form of govt. upon people that have never had it?
 
I have always

I have always said that the way to whip a country is by placing a Mc Donalds there. Look at Russia, shortly after we did, it fell! We could have done the same in Nam, in three or four years they would all be obese and running around the Walmart in electric carts! I think we could whip em then... . :D
 
"We could have done the same in Nam, in three or four years they would all be obese and running around the Walmart in electric carts! I think we could whip em then"

Now that's a good idea! :D :D



Bad idea Boomer to send Peta over, I think we are looking for a good image of the US. Maybe if we let them work security detail? HMMM maybe you are onto something ;)
 
Doggone it guys, how are we ever going to have a political thread here if people go and start agreeing and stuff? That kind of attitude is plumb uncalled for! :D :D ;)



I think Steve M is on to something with that balanced view. It would make a heck of a good T-shirt - 2 large melons with a smiley face and an American flag smack in between 'em, and a caption underneath: I'M A HOOTERS MODERATE - IN THE CENTER AND LOVING IT!:D

Exactly.

Removing Saddam will give them the chance to grow. for worse or better, who knows?

But at least we did something to try and improve the world we live in.





I believe Chrylser has some exprience in air dropping trucks, remember those commercials?;)
