• Islam Controversies Cast Shadow Over 9/11 events

  In reply to jessieH.

  Yeah… how in the world could you believe that Sharia Law could exist in our country? Because it can’t. People who stone someone to death will be put into jail for murder, no matter if they say they did it because of Sharia law or because of Martians putting the order in their heads. What’s your point?

  @independenttess

  Unless you link your sources, I’m going to assume the reason for that would be that Jews just REPORT a lot more hate crimes than Muslims. Watch “defamation” on YouTube, it’s pretty good!

  @Ronrico

  First off: “Well you haven’t proven your point and will NEVER convince me!!!!!!!!!!!!”

  Soo… can we call this case closed? Because you just said that nothing could ever convince you there’s no reason to argue with you any further. Besides, your statement I quoted above automatically loses the argument for you. Isn’t debating fun?

  And secondly, do you know why a person well-educated on many topics like Progressivelovesamerica isn’t all over the news and talk shows? Because it should be NORMAL to know your way around history and the world today and this should be expected from an American. Willful ignorance helps nobody.

  >the overtaking of banks and auto industry,

  Giving them money so they don’t go under, doubling our unemployment rate and lowering Americas international credit rating…

  >pro-obama/pro-homosexual/pro-socialism school indoctrination..as young as our kids in kindergarten,

  Sources please?

  >joblessness sweeping the nation,

  Thank Wall Street and the banks for this one. They screwed over the economy.

  >the destruction of American quality health care,

  I’ve got to give you this one. His health care reform has been a corporate handout to the insurance companies. It simply doesn’t go far enough.

  >higher taxes,

  Lower taxes for everyone but the richest.

  >the degradation of America by bowing to and praising foreign enemies

  May be considered iffy, agreed.

  >and declaring America is not a Christian Nation…

  It’s not. It never was. See: Treaty of Tripoli, signed Nov 4, 1796

  >telling us what we can and cannot EAT or DRINK,

  He did that?

  >putting America into mega-trillions in debt it can never recover from

  Thank Wall Street. Obamas response may have been too little, though.

  >and selling us out to foreign nations (China)

  China has been buying our debt for upwards of a decade. But I can‘t see what’s bad about that? That’s international trade, it helps support the economy.

  >and completely dividing America by race and religion,

  That’s called intolerance, not Obama.

  >and that is not even the first 2 years of obama. and he satnds with muslims against Americans on every single issue, from covering up the FT HOOD massacre by a muslim infiltrator to the USS COLE bomber to the mosque near Ground Zero,

  Wow, that’s some awesome covering-up, I haven’t heard about any of those things! Them not being all over the media and all.

  >obama’s clear aim is laying the path for the islamization of America,

  To what end?

  >the destruction of our economy,

  Seriously, to what end? What’s in it for him?

  >and the total division of its citizens.

  I mean, REALLY, to what end? This is some comic-book villainy you’re ascribing to that man.

  >United we stand. Divided, we fall. right out obama’s playbook.

  Obama isn’t the one doing the dividing here. It’s you and others that think alike. He IS our elected president.

  >with the faithful anti-American democrats helping him ram his agenda thru (“right down our throats and out our asses” according to an obama union boss)

  That’s politics for ya. Happens in both parties, too. It’s just that the democrats are trying to be too appeasing. See: health care bill.

  >obama is quickly succeeding in the downfall of America. our job: stop his agenda.

  As I said, that’s some comic book villainy here, to act like this without any discernible motivation and all.

• Ceremonies, Protests to Mark 9/11 Anniversary

  In reply to Okiegal.

  Ohh, poems! I got one like this too!

  In Arlington we lay to rest
  our bravest and our very best.
  We send our children off to war
  defending what we soon ignore.
  _

  “You’re free to worship,” so we say.
  “But if you’re muslim, go away.”
  Is this what they were dying for:
  Intolerance, and nothing more?
  _

  Must one be christian to obtain
  the liberties that we proclaim?
  These soldiers died for liberty.
  They didn’t die for bigotry.
  _

  So look upon this hallowed field,
  not only crosses are revealed.
  For you’ll see stars and crescents too.
  They also sacrificed for you.
  _

  In Arlington we lay to rest
  our bravest and our very best.
  They knew what they were dying for.
  It’s something that we can’t ignore.

  Funny thing, I see hundreds of people here being outraged about a planned community center containing a prayer room in the vicinity of Ground Zero. People are getting upset about the littlest things.

  In reply to PATRIOTMAMA.

  To be fair though, Mr. Poppopschell, you‘d have to mention that there are very few Christians who actually follow the NT in every point and I’m willing to argue there are NO Jewish people who follow the cruel parts of the Torah/OT. It’s the same with Muslims. They have a moral compass too. It’s just the extremists who riot.

  In reply to RojBlake.

  >Mr. Willox,

  Mr. Blake.

  >Iraq was NOT the advanced state many seem to think it was. I’ve seen interviews, & heard 1st hand accounts of how many didn’t have electricity, or water etc.
  Iraq had the CAPACITY, but the regime in charge didn’t have the will to meet the basic need of its populace. The wealthy & politically connected lived well, but the majority of the Iraqi people did not.

  Oh, I don’t deny that. That’s why I said (and I quote): “Iraq was a relatively advanced and secular state before we came”, relatively being the key word here. Even before our invasion I wouldn’t have called Iraq being a nation of western development standard. But it was quite advanced in comparison to most surrounding countries. Not so much now. The little stability and infrastructure they had is gone, warlords are emerging again and there is an influx of foreign groups.

  >As far as waging war I would direct you to WHITAKER’s post, he sums it up nicely.

  To Mr. Whitaker’s comment: We DID end the military part of the war fast. The Iraqi army didn’t stand much of a chance. But now we got to a point where a conventional army doesn’t help anymore. Partisans. Terror tactics. Enemy combatants hiding among the civilian populace. Every misplaced bomb, every misplaced shot, every wrongful arrest gives our enemies more fuel. How do you propose we solve this problem with more violence?

  >As to it being unnessacary, that is a matter of opinion & rather moot now. As to US casualties, they were mercifully low, you see projections for US casualties were “20,000″ just to take Bagdahd when congress authorized the war…as tragic as the dead & wounded are, they were far lower than projections…& they needn’t have been as high as they were.

  This is something we can unilaterally agree on. Things didn’t go as well as they could, but they could’ve been much worse. But please don’t forget the death toll among the Iraqi populace, they’re humans too and currently living in a terrible situation caught between a rock (our forces) and a hard place (partisans who don’t care about civilian casualties).
