Gaddafi killed?

[Twodogs]

Chas, I'm afraid your wasting your typing finger trying to talk manners to lefties. Ladies deserve a special amount of respect if you agree or disagree with them. At least that's how I was raised. I know KG from AK, and she is nobodies fool by a long shot. I feel certain she considers the sources.

You're losing even me...and I've been to the city limits of Ixtlan more than once.

Chas

I say he needs to either break them in half, or double up on the Valium.

Aw, c'mon. You gotta have a thicker skin to hang out here, but at the end of the day it's - hopefully - all in good fun. Stick around, please. We need more opinions coming from the right side of the aisle!

Well, whell, I never would have seen that if you hadn't quoted her, but since I did.

Krazygrrl, I'm sorry. Didn't intend for you to take it so hard. Just wanted to ruffle your feathers a little. God knows you're a world class feather ruffler yourself. I probably took it too far. I usually do. I've been told before that sometimes I'm worse when I'm right than I am when I'm wrong. I stand behind the point I was trying to make, but probably should have found a more productive way to make it.

Just to be clear, I don't really think you're a terrorist. And I'll take you off my ignore list. Just, maybe, take it easy a little bit with the "Obama's an incompetent idiot moron with big ears who single handedly overthrew Tunisia and his wife has a big ass" business for a day or two.

That is the height of hypocrisy. That is good enough for me.

So you decided to abandon ship?

These ruffians get out of order once in awhile...but they're men and that's what men tend to do. Believe me...I have seven in my family.
Perhaps you'll reconsider...if not...I wish you well.

Oh, I dunno. There are plenty of opinions from the right flying about here, just an absence of fact and logic to back most of them up.

Before or after asking himself, "what the Hell am I doing here?"

My friends,

Eddie and I have decided to bury the hatchet. We had a frank conversation, and in that spirit, there is room in the forum for everyone. Reading some of the postings here in relation to the conflict, especially those of Chas, Painter, Pete, Twodogs, and Whell, and others (such as Fast-Eddie #225), I have realized that there are many people here interested in debate, in fairness, and in honest opinions; that there are a great many good people here. That is an absolute strength.

Some might consider me a troll, like D-Ray, that is his opinion and I will probably never change that. As far as emotional responses, any good debate should solicit them. If it doesn't, if there is no passion, then I submit, what is the point? I am sure that most will agree that debate, political debate especially, should be balanced and open to all viewpoints. In this spirit, can it be fruitful having certain ideas, viewpoints, individuals, or groups, quasi off-limits, while others are thrashed mercilessly?

Not to embarrass myself further, I wanted to say that I am very happy to be here, and that this forum is a worthwhile place.

Was it not liberals that totally flipped when George Bush removed Saddam Hussein? Did Cindy Sheehan and her Code Pink not camp outside of his ranch in Texas - for several years? Was this "expedition" not paid for by elements of the DNC? Did they not demean this man in every conceivable way? Here keeping a very brutal dictator who had gassed his own people with VX and other nerve agents, in power was accepted as it was a means of attacking George Bush. These same people called G.W. Bush a "mass murderer" and a "war criminal" for bombing supposedly peaceful and innocent Iraq? Perhaps even all those huge "anti-war" demonstrations orchestrated by liberals world-wide did not actually exist. Yet, these very same people are still on their feet, cheering Obama in a wild frenzy, for bombing Libya who has been far more peaceful than Iraq. Are there calls in the press labeling Obama a "war criminal" or "mass murderer"? If there are, I certainly have not heard them. Perhaps I just imagined George Bush being called all of these things. What did Jimmy Carter assert a while back? Was it not that all criticism of Obama is based in racism.
