Or someone from this country calling a known terrorist outside this country.Tell me about it. From everything I've heard it boils down to the other side wanting us -not- to listen to a known terrorist because he called someone in this country. Riiiight....

Heh, isn't that the truth. And another thing about monkeys; sometimes no matter what you do, it's gonna throw it's crap at you.Shyal, sometimes all you can do with a monkey is throw peanuts at it.
What started this all off was a New York Times article which they had been sitting on for an entire year. Now, why did they sit on it? It's not like the New York Times wouldn't have loved to release this right before the election.LoneWolf23k wrote:From what I've heard, it boils down to the other side not wanting us to get warrants to listen in on phone conversations between suspected terrorists and their accomplices..
I'm not saying that I don't get fed up with liberasl and democrats and just wanna do something mean and terrible every now and again. all I'm saying is that it's probably better not to stoop to their level. all throughout the 2004 champaign all I heard from the left was "lets hate bush together" all I heard from the right was "we've got a job to do, this is what it is and here's how I plan to do it." more then that WAS said but that's all I heard. considering that it makes sense I voted the way I did.RHJunior wrote:Shyal, sometimes all you can do with a monkey is throw peanuts at it.
Given how many layoffs and how much of a drop in advertising revenue the NY Times has been reporting, I'd say a lot of people feel the same way. Boycott the paper's advertisers and let them KNOW why you are boycotting them. That hits the paper where they live.Sharuuk wrote:I'm at a complete loss......short of hunting down and asassinating the editors and some of the reporters......which in all honesty sounds pretty good to me at times.......how can these arrogant bastards be brought to accountability?

Funny I don't remember hearing that in The Bible. I do know there's a passage that says that all a person needs to do is accept God (even if he doesn't accept Jesus) and be penitent for his sins, though. Maybe that's what you're referring to. In that case I agree.Remember the other person is still your brother in Christ even if he does not accept him.
Again, not something I recall hearing. Now I can forgive personal attacks (though I do ban folks from posting on my LJ for basing their arguments against me on personal insults because it's apparent they aren't interrested in discussion, but in attacking me personally). But when somebody upholds something that I think is morally wrong, I lose all respect for them.We are allowed to defend ourselves but if we hate those that oppose us then we are allowing ourselves to drawn into the camp of the deciever.
