I think it was a way to vent, When I was in the Army it was the same thing. They were afraid they would have to go over there. I think it is a way for them to also justify not signing up to help out. They haven't been any where yet and don't know how good they have it here. Remember, they are just learning how to fuck let alone any thing else. One of them may be president one day. (hopefully not in my life time)

Its never been cool....its become tolerated.
Became widely tolerated during the Vietnam conflict, with all the hippies that stayed home voicing opinions about things they knew nothing about. It has continued throughout the years, practiced mostly in the liberal city centers of the country. Its not cool....its ignorant, and sadly, widely accepted by most onlookers. Makes me wonder just how the modern soldier can look at the landscape and still have the desire to fight to support these ingrates rights. God bless them for doing what they do....shame that they must defend the assholes along with the deserving folks. In the end, that is why this country is still great. The idiots carrying the signs through the streets will never understand that. |

It's never cool to ignore the reality, sacrifice, and pride that make America strong. It's at best a misguided attempt to question authority in general, and, at worst, a selling out to the forces that want to destroy us.
Of course, when the president comes up with things like "We're going to do this, that, the other thing, fully fund the war in Iraq, and pay for it with Tax Cuts!!" or "I'm a uniter not a divider" or "I bequeath upon you George Tenet/Paul Bremer/Muhammad Ali the MEDAL OF FREEDOM for your service" or "As long as we keep 'GROWING THE ECONOMY', we can deficit spend infinitely with no reprecussions." which is what he's trying to do. There is plenty of ammunition given to people to be disenfranchised and unhappy by our non-leaders from both sides of the congressional aisle, and in presidential office right now. What's required is maturity and the common sense to dislike the duplicity and lack of common sense from our leaders and remember that America is great and will remain so as long as people understand what she means and will fight for it. |

No one loves America more than me. That's why I get so pssd when I see the deterioration. We the people, are allowing America to be turned into a police state. The "other side" is smart and patient. Al Quaeda has to be anhialated, no question. But I fully expect that the government will mandate the insertion of chips into us eventually, "For our protection". In a few years, with terrorism, identity theft, child abductions, the public will probably start begging to be implanted. Our alleged leaders have already succeeded in passing strict firearms laws. 50 years ago this wouldn't have been imagined. It will be eeerily interesting to see what the new US will be like in 50 years. |

Local talk radio guys got some good stuff on tape when the Latino kids walked out of their schools. One guy, when asked what they were demonstrating about said, "Who gives a fuck, we got out". Other kids (the ones that stayed in school) said school was more pleasant than usual because the trouble makers had all left for the "demonstration".
The irony is that most kids haven't left the relative security of their parents home or the dorm at school to see what's so great about all these other countries that ARE cool. Kids are given too much today in the realm of things and too little in the realm of values. Well you cannot really give them values, you have to demonstrate them in your own life and hope they see the point. And then there's the basic have and have not issue. Too many of the have's want to give what we (the collective) have away rather than leave people to their own choices about how they want to live. Not everyone can be rich but most can achieve a pretty good life with hard work and making good choices. The wife and I took a 2 hour walk through the local parks today and it was pretty pleasant. Guys playing frisbee golf, kids and their families with the dog at the Dog Park. Horseback riders and runners, a few fishermen, young and old, just a general mix of people that seemed to be able to get along. I think the media is stirring shit up. I take the news with a VERY SMALL grain of salt. |

Exactly Fast Jimmy. It's time for the republican party (I'M A REPUBLICAN), to refocus on what being a republic means. Iraq is a quagmire that was created by England's colonialism. They went in, changed the geographic lines, and created a volatile mess. It took a fkn psycho like Sadam, to keep everything in check. There has to be a plan to separate Iraq into its original makeup. The Kurds have the oil, that can't be changed. SO the division should nurture an interactive economy among the separated sectors. Kurds drill the oil, Sunni area builds cars, trucks, washers and dryers etc, Shiites make oil production equipment and infrustructure construction for the whole. Maybe one sector could be responsible for utilities? Outside exporting of goods would be regulated and balanced by a type of economic union assembly. I do not see any other way out of this mess. |

Yes, and all the treasure and sacrifice that will be required to accomplish this so that we can remove a brutal, but secular, dictator who didn't have WMD's (at least at the time of our invasion), and leave a country with Sharia as its basic law, which leaves the pleasant, enlightened option of death for christian converts. My favorite quote from all of this was from an official involved in the recent case in Afghanistan who said that because islam was a tolerant religion, it would forgive the man and not execute him... as long as he renounced his conversion and once again braced islam. Apparently this is the 'tolerance' the muslim world has to offer. I'd be more comfortable if the man most responsible for making sure civilization comes out on top in this clash of freedom against barbarisim and medeival religious totalitarianism (the president) was a better multitasker, and used better judgment. At least he seems to understand the stakes. However, look at how well 'democratic' elections worked out in palestine. what a disaster. And the Bush administration was warned that this is exactly what would happen. Where's the logic? |

How about right after George Bush fucked us on immigration?
How about right after George Bush tried to fuck us on the UAE port deal? How about right after the SCOTUS OK'ed stealing folks private real estate to give to developers? How about right after the liberal idiots nearly elected Al Gore and Mr. "I crawled through the brush on my belly with my trusty double barrel shotgun" that asshat John Kerry? Is that enough or do need more? As a conservative, far right wing government hater, I've got plenty more. This country is populated with idiots and will get whatever it deserves. With our borders as porous as they are, that will probably be a 10 kiloton blast in a major city. Don't forget, the morons in this country VOTED THE POLITICIANS INTO OFFICE that have screwed things up so much. |

No, just Kali.  I would dispute that though. I think many are sick of the 5th Column which seeks, actively or out of misguided ignorance and stupidity, to destroy our freedoms and our country. So we depsise them and those in the gov't which act in their behalf. This is no longer a 1st Amend issue. Speaking out is one thing but when the forces behind these movements seek to undermine the family, the nation, our freedoms and our country it becomes something else. Simply because they hide like women while doing so doesn't absolve them. There was a time when I was younger that I truly believed that I defended the Rights of these people to speak out and oppose their own nation, etc. I have come over the years to realize that they don't give a shit about our rights or what is best for this country. Not even for my right to speak. As such I no longer care about theirs. To Hell with their Rights. What they need I won't say here. Not yet, but I think it can be inferred. |

I agree with this. You hear lots of vitriolic rhetoric bemoaning the 'sheeple', and a lot of paranoid contempt for the US population as a whole and its intelligence. I think half of the people here have some kind of secret wish to just fight it out after the apocalypse, and get to use their toys the way they were meant for. For what it's worth, I work and live in Ohio, exposed to the public, and I'm consistently impressed with the character and integrity of Americans. They are generally polite, hard working, cherish their children above all else, and believe in our country... more so than many on here. I also employ 30 or 40 younger kids (17-22), who come to work on time, work hard, and do what they're told without whining unduly. Some of these kids make me damn proud. |

Sure... blame the general public for the John Kerry/GWB dichotomy. It's our fault that political parties are made to pander to polls and charts, rather than try to find the right way for America. We make them be less than honest about what the contry needs, especially a 2nd term, no chance for reelection republican only there because the other choice was utterly lousy. GBW could show as much leadership as he wanted, discuss the sacrifice necessary to make us strong for the future, and force the hard choices. Insted, he's concerned about his legacy, while the rest of the republican party tries to hand pick a GWB clone that can win with another 51 percent, while not making sense on half the issues facing us. How is that my fault as a voter, or yours? Yep, all the moronic voters fault. It's true that the American public will take as many bones as it's thrown, but they made the hard choice to not elect Kerry. How hard is it for politicians to stop the gravy train and get to work? Wait... that's not how to get RE-Elected, so screw it. |

Pull an Alec Baldwin......oh yeah, he ended up not liking the option not to well himself. Some of y'all are so full of shit and you think it is so bad here, why don't you go see how you would do in Cuba, or China, or Nigeria? We live in the greatest country, with the greatest people, with the greatest economy, with the greatest system of government the world has ever seen. I challenge any of you to provide one scrap of evidence otherwise. If you can prove me wrong.....move your ass to place you find so damned appealing. I love this country, and everything we stand for. We are the best at everything, and the rest of the world knows it.....to bad some of you don't. [rant off] |

Right again, Jimmy. I can't believe our leaders allowed a government to take control that mandates the death penalty for conversion to Christianity.

In the sixties with the rise of communism on the campi. As the hip generation slowly achieved tenure and took over the university chairs, they achieved more power and the ability to shovel their brand of red-diaper baby shit out to all of the young students with heads full of mush.
They feel guilt...lots of it. They blame all of the ills in the world on conservatives, capitalism, corporations, rish people in general (Except for those in Hollywood or the Northeast who "CARE" and on virtually all Republicans in general. Process began a long time ago...just because the old Soviet Union is gone doesn't mean that the true believers aren't still hanging around.

You're not paying attention if you don't think AR15.com hates America.
The blue states hate the red ones. The south hates the north. The whites hates the blacks. The Christians hate the Muslims. The straights hate the gays. The sober hate the drunks. The country folk hate the city folk. The divorced hate the females. The truck drivers hate the drivers. American car drivers hate Japanese car drivers. And everyone hates the Air Force. And of course, visa-versa. This single forum has done more to destroy my faith in mankind than anything I've seen anywhere else. The amount of hate here is simply amazing. We Americans love to hate the other guy and can't learn enough about the other guy fast enough to hate him. Whatever 1% difference they can find is enough to hate them for. There is nothing so small as to not make fun of, insult, and hate another American here. There are a very few amoung the people here that have given me some faith back ... very few. |
