OH, so my son going to 9/11 to help with the 'clean up' for lack of better words was insane?

Our economy is in shambles? Why, I thought you had a great union job. Bad economy, no great union job. So, which is it?

I think you need to take big bird's yellow hat off and let your brains get some air.

Lindyy says:

Excuse me, but there were people from other counties killed also. How about respect for them?

We have not been attacked again since 9/11. One result of our actions. Duhhhhhhhhh

Lindyy

For ease of computation, we'll use approximate figures. Assume the U.S.'s war crimes have resulted in one million deaths. That is roughly 1/26 of the total Iraqi population. An equivalent number of American deaths would be 11.5 million people. 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11. In terms of casualties, 11.5 million deaths represent 3,800 9/11s -- or a 9/11 every day for ten and a half years.

That's one hell of an assumption your figures on the Iraqui deaths are no where near accurate but that don't stop you from spreading your poison propaganda. You liberal socialists think if you tell the same lie often enough it will become believeable. Didn't your Political Science professor tell you to check the accuracy of your data before you publish it?

If you go back to about page 45 of this forum and check Gina22, Gary86, and a few others you will find the same tired retoric you post almost word for word. SSDD

Oh come on Lindyy, be nice to me, Aren't we Buddies?

Still spreading your poison Madison? See your cohort Dragon is here too. I see you using the word we a lot. When you were and if you were ever in the service it was probably some kind of admin job. Now your in here trying to act like your some war hardened vet that's tired of the war and actually care about soldiers being killed. Do us real soldiers a favor and stop acting like you give a damn. It makes me sick to the stomach. Knew you were a union s***bag when I saw your photo with you reclined back with your hard hat on. Probably using the computer while your supposed to be working. And then have the b*lls to ask for a raise. Don't you ever get tired of typing other people's comments? Why don't you just scan the crap! It would save you some finger strength. I like how you say " I support the troops not the war". Bullcrap! Your as transparent as glass. Never in my life have I seen the amount of taking the truth and re-writing your own version of it. Are you there? Have you been there? Wish we could send all you liberal whiners over there. Maybe the terrorist have an flak gun you can get photos on and denounce Umerika! Traitor!

thank you Marine. Better said than I could have.

I also agree with you marine. I have a lot of respect for anyone who will put their life on the line so that I may live my life in freedom and as a mom who has watched her son leave and go to places unknown for us gives me a great feeling of pride. So to all the men and women who serve I truly thank them and hope that God will watch over them every day and keep them safe.

How does liberalism differ from socialism?
There are important and fundamental differences between socialism and liberalism. When critics attempt to slander liberals by calling them "socialists," liberals should immediately challenge them to define the difference between liberalism and socialism. If they cannot, or continue to claim that they are the same, liberals should then chide them for being novices in political science, unable to define even the most basic terms of the debate.

Socialism means that workers, not private owners, would own and control the means of production: factories, farmland, machinery, and so on. In democratic elections, workers would vote for 1) their supervisors, 2) their representatives to a local and national council of their industry or service, and 3) their representatives to a central congress representing all the industries and services. Socialism has been proposed in many forms, ranging from republics to direct democracies, from centralized state bureaucracies to free market anarchy. Political scientists do not view the "socialism" nominally practiced by the Soviet Union as true socialism -- this was, essentially, a dictatorship over workers by a ruling elite.

By comparison, liberals believe that private owners should own and control the means of production, formulate company policy, and have the right to select their own management team. Liberals would prevent them from abusing their powers through checks and balances like strong labor unions and democratic government
