BeenaBobba Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 If Turner had spoken reprovingly against Blacks or gays, you know the media would have been all over him like white on rice. It only goes to show that anti-Catholicism is the only acceptable prejudice nowadays. God bless, Jennifer

marielapin Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 [quote name='musturde' date='Jun 13 2004, 10:49 PM'] I wouldnt trust anything unless it's completely affirmed, cuz there's different talk about this (and there has been since the war). Presidential elections are coming up and people think Bush came to Iraq and lied to America, maybe some Republicans are trying to get some people happy. (I'm no anti Republican. In fact I like the Republican party.) [/quote] This article was a report from the UN. This is outside the US government, and if anything, the UN would be more slanted towards Kerry because if elected, he would become their lapdog. You can bet that if the UN says this, they are not making it up in order to help Bush.
marielapin Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 [quote name='Iacobus' date='Jun 13 2004, 11:06 AM'] And Putman, the Tet offense pulled the American heart out of the war. After that, seeing war and death invade the living rooms, people stopped supporting the war. Did the media bring it in yes. Did ABC attack the marines? [/quote] Despite what the media at the time reported, the Tet Offensive was militarily an overwhelming victory for the US, but because of the reporting done by the media, it became a political victory for the Vietnamese. This is an example about how the media contributed to us losing the war. And Vietnam WAS winnable, militarily. It was the micromanaging done by the politicians that tied the hands of the military that was the problem. We sat there for months on end watching them build up the air defenses around Hanoi. But the politicians would not give an ok to go in, since it was not politically expedient. But once all the military air defences were completely set up, the ok was given and we lost many aircraft and pilots because of it. This is just one of many examples on why it was the politicians that made us lose the war.

(Famous "Catholic" word) And with Bill Clinton, giving up his Rhodes scholorship, left England to hob nob with the real enemy - the Soviet Union!

But he offended me too much in 3 minutes. Okay, blowing up the Statue of Libery and painting a tear on it and placing it on a boat and sending it back to the cry babys in France. Need I count the ways?
Lounge Daddy Posted June 18, 2004 Author Posted June 18, 2004 [font="Courier"]ya - he often gets wound up I enjoy his writing more than his radio show; I rarely listen to his program Are you French? I am half, and that didn't bother me - you know I understand his point [/font]
Iacobus Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I am not French. LOL! But saying things like for about people because the disagree with you? Come on have something called charity and tact.

With the beheading of another American, I am bracing myself for the "cut and run" messages from Kerry and the rest of the liberal Democrats. The killing of nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11 has not aroused them a bit... God bless America! Bill+†+
