  1. SINCE ANYONE THAT IS NOT A REPUBLICAN IS A LIBERAL, LIBERAL RESPONSE HERE (IF ONE NOT GIVEN ALREADY) Wow, where can I start? Not surprised at all since you were leaning in that direction for quite some time... Not surprised since your so called liberal members probably left the site a long time ago. Don't care about your political leanings because that is your right and unlike some of your members you respected them enough to be professional with them. So you probably shouldn't care about mine... Your assessment is rather flawed since there wasno reason to bomb Syria according to the Republican led House of Reps. That alone allowed ISIS to be what it is today. All I have seen over the last 6-7 years is Republicans acting childish over the fact they didn't keep power or get their way to the point they threw the country deeper into recession and a downgrade of our capabilities due to sequestration. Requiring something of this President that they never required of any other. Criticizing over raising of the national debt when for 8 years that was all that was being done under Bush. When someone wants to do it under a Democrat it's let's sound the alarm!!!! Yet what I see is a group of people playing this like it were some sort of football game, who cares what they do if they are my team... You and I agree with the firearms. I could care less about someone's sexual preference, not my business. Your relationship with whatever you worship, don't care, I am not God, can't judge your afterlife situation. Yet when it comes to not taking responsibility for the actions that they take, for blatantly lying for saying one thing one week and then flip-flop the next because you don't like someone? Yeah, those are not my so called values that Republicans keep talking about. In fact even the values change week by week except for the I hate Obama. Funny how we are supposed to not criticize a President during war time. Funny how it is that none of you are not willing to go over there and fight if it came to it...(I was there from 2003-2012, Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan). Maybe we should bring back the draft so that you can be more objective about all of this, maybe not. Yet my independent self that voted for a Gore that year supported the President during wartime as we went to Afghanistan. I grudgingly supported but had questions about Iraq yet never would I of supported the sabotage of America by being as extreme as shutting down a government during wartime. Especially if such an actin would cause a downgrade of our credit rating. Those are my values, to judge accordingly to actions while what I see the withdrawal that Republicans tried to take credit for when times were good stating that Bush negotiated it while on the other hand, when things go to sh@t, blame Obama when it could have been resolved by not hesitating to vote on a resolution in the House to vote for bombing Syria. WHY SHOULD MY LIFE OR ANYONE ELSE BE PLACED ON THE LINE BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WOULD NOT VOTE TO BOMB SYRIA EARLIER? Not yelling, just want to emphasize a point. So, this is my last post. If you could disenroll me from VIP and this site it would be great. You got a lot of money out of me, didn't get much in return and I don't plan to. No hard feelings. I just have no desire to be part of a group any longer.
  2. Patriot? No, patriotism is not what you guys are doing. You hate this President and make things up solely to get him out of office or make sure that he doesn't succeed at anything, even at the expense of your own economic well-being or safety. I was never a democrat but I can say with certainty, I will not be a Rpublican as long as these fake patriots keep sabotaging our country...
  3. Yeah, but they read it thinking I wasn't. Sorry to use you like that...
  4. Just the fact that the majority of posts are anti-President and dangerous talk about not following the Constitution and treating him as if he were supposed to be a dictator. This is a democracy, a republic. When the Tea-Party has done nothing but sabotage the government, make it inept, and have only the goal of having more power at the expense of democratic values to get their way, rather than be patriotic and put partisan bickering aside to fix the mess that was created before this one got into office. If all that money's from the profits that these business have made was reinvested rather than spend on politics then we would have been in a much better position. Yet the desire for. a one term President rather than a stronger USA was their goal. Business is only one aspect of this nation, yet instead it is focused on that, criticizing the President's church attendance with a idiot preacher, calling him a Muslim ignoring his Christian past, saying that he isn't an American, calling everyone who is not a Christian to not being an American, ignoring the Constitution when the checks and balances have set the nation to a standstill by your party, and then politicizing a tragedy when the anger should be against those who have done us wrong. So yeah, accept your worthless negatives. They don't mean much at all, because once you and I cash in, of it goes our way, it won't matter. Been defending your right to give and receive negatives for over twenty years one way or another so, bask it! Your in America where you can be brave behind a computer and not have to worry about the Feds coming at your door! So enjoy the negs, my fellow American, I have. As long as I speak my mind and you speak yours, it doesn't really mean a thing. So, neg away, all of mine are from your fellow tea party members not from my opinion regarding the dinar.
  5. Wow, criticizing a President during wartime. I thought. Fox News told you that was wrong? How dare you?
  6. Saudi has a majority Sunni population. The nation he is speaking of is Bahrain, with a Sunni monarchy and a majority Shiite population...
  7. Wow, I hope that you or none of your family members have to go through what they went through... People should think twice and have a plan B if they work in a church, so unchristian like...
  8. I agree, it is just so amazing how finally I get to see people with common sense speaking up and not letting the people who drank the Obama fault everything kool-aid. let's face it, if aliens invaded tomorrow, they would say Obama brought them here. If it were a Republican in office, they would rally around the flag. I was in Baghdad during the worse of the rocket attacks and I for one am grateful we are out of there. If they want to kill each other then it is on them, we gave them the chance for a better opportunity. And oh, if you don't like the democratically elected government here, get over it and stop telling all these stupid lies. Have some honor for once.
  9. Over reacting people! They are job creators! We can make more!!!!!!!!!!
  10. This USAF veteran agrees, BS... Have you noticed that these people are so vocal on shutting down people who disagree with them, calling them anti-American and when we exercise our own rights as an Americans we are told that we are infringing on their rights to free speech? Like they all have read from the same book complete with talking points and..., wait. Fox News, should have known... More negs please, 29 and counting just from exercising my rights as an American...
  11. Let me use apage from their book. If you dont like the government that was elected, leave! No one is stopping you! I am sure at some point you, one of your friends or family members got something out of the taxes I pay...
  12. I agree, I am a Muslim and found offense to all of it. Joking or not, those terms offend. There are other ways of not being politically correct and funny. I just find it hard to believe that someone can be racist to one group and not racist to others, I also find it hard to believe that a term can come out so freely, clearly derogatory and not be meant to offend.
  13. Not sure if this is posted already but the way they date over here is day, month, year...
  14. I have been in the military and I don't believe any of this. More right wing lies and propaganda. Right up there with Clinton owning flight lines in Columbia to bring in drugs... (heard that from a Chief Master Seagent in the Air Force)
  15. Sounds like we would break even when one does the math... Your one million would become one thousand...
  16. Ooops, that sunrise since Belize's coast is to the East.. And ooops was not a dig at Perry...
  17. "You don't have to refer to anything that Bush did or did not accomplish in his administration due to the fact that the main stream media did a very good job of pointing out every negative thing they could towards President Bush and his administration...even if they had to make it up. You even had elected Officials talking crap about our standing President on foreign soil no less. No uproar about that from you liberals! Yet this guy we have in office now is running around the world apologizing for us being the greatest nation this world has ever known." First of all, not a liberal. However I do believe in fairness, accountability and respect to the President, which I did while I was in the military. Something that many of my colleagues forgot to do when Bill Clinton was in office. Those with the same mindset ignored Bush while he performed acts that were contrary to common sense. The situation we are now in is because of his policies and Obama's deficit is in response to it. Do you really think that it is possible to wage two wars and lower taxes and then walk away with a booming economy? Where was Bush when all of the jobs went to other countries? Who is flourishing while others are suffering, you, your family? You can't tell me that you don't know anyone without a job? What did Obama try to do, get you health care so that you wouldn't suffer while you are out of a job, tried to pass legislation that would provide jobs, oh, killed Osama Bin Laden. Yes, I am giving him credit for that since Bush got credit for capturing Saddam. Oh, did I mention Ghaddafi? Tell me, what did the Republicans do? Oh, reaffirmed that In God We Trust is the national motto, and ensured that Corporations still got their tax cuts while refusing to hire anyone... Yeah, maybe I should become a democrat... Yet... I think that being an American is under attack within our own country when non-Americans seem to have more rights than I, to include breaking the law. So that would count me out wouldn't it? "Your attitude will really bring about change. Maybe you should find somewhere else to call home if it is soo bad here. I don't necessarily agree with all that our conservative elected officials stand for, but I choose who best represents my beliefs." My attitude is all American, but since I don't share your beliefs of attacking a President with baseless facts? Wow. If you don't like your President then perhaps you should leave. You choose who you want to represent your beliefs. I am over here helping you to have to freely have and say those beliefs, Kuwait with trips into Afghanistan and occasionally in the past Iraq. Yet part of that privilege is for other Americans do differ with you as well as defend those that I think is unfairly being categorized. "Good job, saved me from having to give you one!" Like it really means anything??????? When I am watching the sunset from Belize should I be concerned with all of the negatives that I get on this site for stating the truth? Wow... "I know the authenticity of who authored the below statement is in question but I believe it applies to our situation today. The Fall Of Democracy" The fall of democracy can also occur when the Corporations take over the means of government and destroy the ability of the represented to govern. When votes for politicians turn into stock holdings you would have a new form of government in which instead of laws, there would be company policies. The corporations had no problem with taking our money to save their cushy irresponsible lives, yet they refuse to hire and get the economy running or contribute to the government that allowed them to prosper in the first place. The fall of democracy, let me think... Who cried out when Hitler took control of Germany? Changed a democracy into a dictatorship? Didnt Bush say he wished he was a dictator? We need our conservatives, our liberals and most of all, our moderates, in which your party is throwing to the sidelines. Keep your beliefs, just don't expect myself or anyone else to agree or to keep silent, it is not the American way to stay silent.
  18. No, just irritated that people are not holding others accountable for their actions and blaming another because of it. Look at what the house has done, vilified every attempt this administration has done to correct the mistakes from the last. All without any substance or alternatives, just more cookie cutter statements that can't apply to anything being presented. Nor any alternatives of any kind, all because on is a Democrat. Go ahead, make it a one term, keep the people in office that won't help the economy for the middle class. As far as a negative goes, I see that it is common for those with moderate opinions to get them, especially when it is rational. Facts? Look at your candidates that are running? The ones that are moderate, in which I would vote for, are sidelined for presenting facts, concrete positions. Instead the ones that are ridiculous are your front runners. Facts is not what is wanted.
  19. The first step towards terrorism and tyranny is who is or isn't an American due to beliefs. He got elected, get over it. The republicans are prolonging our suffering through fear, lies, and you guys are eating it up as they drive the knife further into your backs. They don't give a damn about you. Once these guys get into office, say good-bye to your jobs and your way of life. If you want an example, look at hat the republicans did in Pennsylvania, you can't even drink water without getting sick, all because of the republicans protecting corporations. Those safeguards, al taken away by the republicans. So.., just like when you guy selected Bush and the Republican House, you deserve hat ever happens.

  20. Wow..., is this racism or what? Sure was quiet when Bush was President and we saw errors a mile away. And the forgetting about Bush's complicity on the current situation and the Republicans not giving a damn about America only to remain and take power? Only holding one accountable when the others nothing more than obstructionist! Perhaps I should use the same rhetoric that you guys used when Bush was President? Sure, why not! Shame on you for criticizing a President during war time! Let the negatives begin! As if it means anything now or after it RVs... And for the record, I wouldn't vote for anyone Democratic or Republican as they are nothing more than representatives of lobbyists! I am just ashamed to see how silly aloof you are for playing politics when people's jobs and survival are on the line and all they can do is play the blame game and not hold ALL these people accountable. Not one Republican has shown themselves to be patriotic or in our best interests, just a desire to be President, nothing more. Sad.
  21. Sadr is a Shiite, the Ba'ath party is Sunni. They are enemies and they both see the withdrawal as an opportunity for power...
  22. These people obviously don't understand international law. All embassies are the territory of their respective governments. The Marines that remain there to guard are commonplace and any acts they take to guard that area is within their right. Any personnel that work for the embassy can be given diplomatic immunity at certain levels, should it be only for things done for their job or full immunity for diplomats. Dont take any of this stuff seriously as they obviously don't know what they are talking about (the Iraqi...).
  23. Here in Kuwait as well... Got to work at 4:30 am..., not a word...
