Since all these folks will be in one place at at the same time, how about free one way air tickets to the destination of their choice, after signing an agreement that they can never again set foot on U.S. soil.

Folks, just remember that many of these same 'peace activists' were demonstrating passionately a couple years back for a war against Serbia, which they got. Why? It's all about the muslims. Whether they are for war or peace, that is.
One of the key organizers is Brian Becker of a group called Answer, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. What a name. Because of course all wars are racist... [rolleyes] |

Dear [b]subsailor[/b]:
Yours of this morning as been received. I take this mouse in hand and hope that my letter finds you and yours doing well this morning. Earlier this morning, we had a question about what 'your people' meant in relation to the article which I posted. I made the statement that [b]'Thirty years ago it would have been billed as the largest pro-North Vietnam demonstration in US history!'[/b] Do you believe this or not? Simply being an 'American citizen', will not suffice any longer. Citizenships are being sold to the highest bidder in INS convenience stores everywhere. Citizenships are being handed out by some of our politicians to anyone who could possibly vote for an America that the Founding Fathers would simply not recognize! So citizenship and a $1.00 bill will not even buy you a small cup of java in the Hun Store. Commitment to the founding principals upon which the United States began its life and a $1.00 bill will get you anything you want. No citizenship required. That will come later. In due course. We have way too many native-born American citizens like Jihad Johnny Walker, for me to believe that simple citizenship is sufficient! In closing, let me covey Scooter's kindest wishes upon you and yours. Until next we meet, I remain, Your obedient servant, Eric The(SignatureWithFlourish)Hun[>]:)] [SEAL] |

The UNDENIABLE fact is that the OT covenant DEMANDED that while Israel was disobedient to God, they WOULD be under His punishment. Currently, israel is in a state of disobedince to God. And even a cursory reading of the OT will reveal that God was NEVER of a glad heart WHILE Israel was in disobedience as they are now. And you are encouraging them to continue in that state of disobedience. Your heart is glad. God's heart OBVIOUSLY is not. My heart is distressed for Israel, UNTIL they embrace the Messiah.

Oh, and g-man, there's nothing particularly "Jewish" about rye bread. That would be a "bread libel" I believe. Just can't get over the fact that Jews are not Christians, eh?
As a matter of fact, the History of Bread website says this about rye bread: "c 500 AD. Saxons and Danes settled in Britain and introduced rye which was well suited to cold northern climates. Dark rye bread became a staple which lasted to the Middle Ages" [url]http://www.bakersfederation.org.uk/histbread.htm#top[/url] |

I think the US is fairly desensitized to protest nowadays. I know I am. It's sort of like the media, it's hot when it doesn't happen very often but when it becomes an every-other day agenda item, its no longer news (AIDS, divorce, drugs, teen pregnancy, even guns in school get a little less press now). Maybe if one more celebrity kills his wife it will hold true there as well. I'm getting a little tired of Robert Blake on TV.
I will always be pro USA, at least in the sense of how we were originally created. I disgust the downhill trend we're on, as a country (although we have no one to blame but ourselves, right?). When's the last time we've had any good news that had more magnitude than the bad news we see? I will not try to cover a thousand issues here. Compared to the rest of the world, life is still fairly good here. My bottom line? You can only play referee between 2 year olds so long before you separate them, or let them fight it out on their own. separating didn't seem to work, so give them the boxing gloves and go have a beer. Cut the aid too, my money has more value elsewhere. Those who really, and I mean really, want to help them should buy the ticket and bring a comfortable pair of boots. Don't forget your sunscreen. Why cry about it here for a day and then go home to your nice house and your cushy job where you get paid more than your foreign counterparts you defend? Because you have the right to, that's why. Remember who gave you that right and why they gave you that right the next time your head hits your cushy pillow. Our forefathers turn enough in their graves already without the help of the fickle.

Eric,
Sharon is going to cost Israel dearly. Already most of the Europeans are not supportive and only a poorly informed American public remains supportive of Israel. I agree it is difficult to remain informed due to media bias but still there is enough information out there to remain reasonably well informed. To support either Arafat or Sharon is to support murderers. Sharon has worked diligently to embarrass and piss-off POTUS. I'm thinking he has succeeded. If GWB is reelected Israel will pay dearly in GWB's second term. |

Sharon is going to cost Israel dearly. I don't think it will turn out that way at all! The IDF just keep catching the vermin every day, and the good thing about catching rats, is that at least that rat will no longer be a problem. Oh to be sure there are others, there will be more, there are young rats growing older every day, but so what? There were rats in Israel in King David's day as well! Already most of the Europeans are not supportive and only a poorly informed American public remains supportive of Israel. Not at all, first, who needs Europe? Do we need Europe? If Europe said to us hgo catch Bin Laden by yourself, would you call off the hunt? Second, only poorly informed, or miserably motivated, Americans could support what has been happening to Israel over the past generation. I agree it is difficult to remain informed due to media bias but still there is enough information out there to remain reasonably well informed. Yes, the media surely hates Israel all right! Thank God (I mean that literally), that we have other news sources than the mainline US press! To support either Arafat or Sharon is to support murderers. Well, I do know that Arafat sanctioned the murder of those two US diplomats back in Africa in the 80s, but I have never heard anyone credibly charge Sharon with murder. I suppose those 'suicide bombers' were [u]not[/u] supported by Arafat? Is that your view? Sharon has worked diligently to embarrass and piss-off POTUS. I'm thinking he has succeeded. Then President Bush should be embarrassed to believe that the murderers of his countrymen should be hounded to the ends of the earth, while the murderers of Sharon's countrymen should be visited by US diplomats and given all sorts of assurances that those mean old IDF guys weren't gonna put one of those explosive belts found in his compound around Arafat's stupid neck, and light it up! If GWB is reelected Israel will pay dearly in GWB's second term. Then George W. Bush is not the honorable man that I have been led to believe that he was. Eric The(ButILoveGeorgeW!)Hun[>]:)] |

Quoted: Have I not told you before, [b]subsailor[/b], that I have been eaten up with this subject since about the time it happened? Until this very moment! I look at it as one would look at having a beautiful young wife and a happy marriage, and then one day coming home from work to find her gone, and just a note that said 'I'm leaving you,' no more no less. No explanation, no justification, no nothing. Just the great emptiness and the little note. So yes, I remember everything about the day, and cherish it as one would cherish the toy of a dead child. Simple enough? Eric The(TrulySaddened)Hun[>]:)] Thank You Hun. (Such sensitivity from a genuine HUN !!) I've thought about the many topics posted here on AR15.com and believe only the incident we're not discussing causes me such personal pain. In an earlier post you said something like..... shafted by Israel, The United States and their own Navy.......each assertion you made is true. I remain enraged at all three. However, I must tell you that even without the incident my position of disagreeing with U.S. policy of paying Israel to kill Palestinians would remain unchanged. I just as strongly condemn paying 'anyone' to kill Israelis. |

To extend 'the beautiful young wife' metaphor, I would rather believe that [u]anything[/u] happened to her, rather than contemplate what actually might have happened.
'The note was a forgery, she is still in the house.' No, I have looked in every room. 'The note was written by her at the threat of a knife or gun.' No, there is no sign of a forced entry and where is the ransom note from her ravishers? 'My beautiful young wife was crazy.' No, I knew her too well to believe that. You see, there is simply no palatable answer to the young wife's disappearance. Eric The(None!)Hun[>]:)] |

What a wonderful group of posters on this topic...people who read and remember.
The Macallan for noticing all the "Poor Palestinians" who were actively screwed by Jordan and every other Arab country...heck, Ol' Yasser is Egyptian...kind've an uglier Jesse or Al Sharpton. ErictheHun knowing the name of the El Quseir and why it was suggested...boys and girls, it's the boat the happy Jews in Israel claimed they thought they were shooting instead of the USS LIBERTY. Those nasty US flags, liferafts, flybys, radio messages...all those things the El Quseir was trying to fool our buddies, the Israeli's, with. Ilikelegs...I'd say most people here agree with his category of "not my people" Do I give a rats butt about Israel? Nope! They're not our friends, never have been, would sell us south in a second if it benefited them. They are no one's friend except Israel. They don't even stay bought (unlike a Kennedy). Remember, these guys supported the Iranians when they had our people hostage. They sold the red Chinese AWACs planes and only stopped when we reminded them they contained US-designed components. Of course, they did sell the Chinese the Mark III Israeli version of the Exocet (since the Mark II had US designed parts). These will be used to nail our ships by the Chinks....our good buds the Israeli's. Wish we'd stay out of there and not risk one American life on these people. P.S. Don't give a damn for the Palestinians either, they cheered when WTC towers went, they cheer when their brats blow themselves up...doesn't seem like a good genepool to continue...least it's not deep. |

Only someone incredibly ignorant of history in the Middle East would not know that! This is not the [b]remedial[/b] AR15.com GD Board, this is the one for adults. So don't be surprised if someone [u]assumes[/u] you know something of this world! [b]subsailor[/b] knew, all too well, and since it was to him that the post was directed, I did all that was necessary. Eric The(GoRagSomeoneElseWhoCares!)Hun[>]:)] |

Eric, you said ".... but I have never heard anyone credibly charge Sharon with murder." I thought i read somewhere that he may still be brought up some international charges for the Lebanon refugee camps ? If the death toll in Jenin is as high as some claim and it is made up of a lot of women and children it is going to go bad for him as well. Frankly as previously stated the area would do better with out him and arafat.

Eric, you said ".... but I have never heard anyone credibly charge Sharon with murder." I thought i read somewhere that he may still be brought up some international charges for the Lebanon refugee camps ? That's why I said 'credibly charged'! Oh there are still folks who wish to 'bring him to justice' but they are nuts and so is anyone who believes that alleged war crimes in Lebanon should be tried in Belgium. Israel had to try its cases against former Nazis linked to the death camps in Israel, simply because the countries in which these Nazis were found hiding would do nothing against them! West German officials never bothered looking in South America for Eichmann or Mengele, or any other Nazi of note. So Israel had to go it alone. If the death toll in Jenin is as high as some claim and it is made up of a lot of women and children it is going to go bad for him as well. Well, I think it's very obvious that, once again, the Palestinians are hollering about something that will turn out to be nothing! Were innocent folks killed in the Jenin Refugee Camp? Undoubtedly. Purposefully? Nope. No more than the US and Britain set off to kill German women and children in any large German city they bombed. If they had their wishes, only Nazi soldiers would have died as the result of each bomb. If others were killed, it was a mistake. Eric The(Reasonable)Hun[>]:)] |
