  1. That the goal or mission of the American people, nor policy, has been terrorism. The CIA is a different story, though I believe they more accept barbarism than push it. They may teach tactics, kidnapping, and interrogation, but raping, mutilation, beheading, and burning are extracurricular.
  2. Pent up resentment because his mama would avoid going near him. When she fed him in his high chair, she stood on the other side of the room and used a slingshot.
  3. Not in the name of terrorism. Raping, beheading, and burning alive don’t require training. I have a very dim view of the CIA; Tuskegee, Gladio, Northwoods, etc. Truman regretted forming the agency, Eisenhower warned us about them, JFK died trying to eliminate them, Nixon was taken down after making statements to the same effect, yet they still exist, strong as ever. They operate as an entity unto themselves, often beyond even the president’s control. Who’s to blame?
  4. Nor making yet another thread about himself.
  5. That’s part of the delineation i was talking about. I don’t think you can show that Americans support killing civilians, raping girls, decapitating babies, or burning people alive.
  6. It’s not that elements of our government, whether by our consent, supported or trained anyone, it’s the terms terrorists and terrorism that are arguable. One man’s freedom fighter being another man’s terrorist, and all.
  7. I’ll endeavor to contain my rhetoric to driver’s ed equivalent for you.
  8. MTG is a thread about bananas. The professor. Genius.
  9. I know you aren’t a ‘professor’ but chose to denominate you the title much as I might have by using the term genius, bananas.
  10. There’s a whole world out there when you escape gooogul.
  11. Not much.
  12. Something wrong with your computer, professor?
  13. Next is an “Oil for Food” program.
  14. The way it’s going, kamela will be running as the incumbent.
  15. “ When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. Sell not liberty to purchase power. Ben Franklin
  16. If it leads to CRs and ‘omnibus’ bills then it doesn’t matter a bit.
  17. I don’t think it’s as big a deal as some are trying to make it. It’s democracy.
  18. I think spending is more congress’ doing than the president. For Trump, his position on everything was diminished by the legislators who were sucked in by the ‘collusion’ propaganda during the first two years, and dims controlled congress the last two years. When George W. was president, he just set back and let congress do what they wanted. I don’t know where any of you fellas got the idea that I blame only dims for spending too much. While it is true that they are the biggest spenders, they haven’t done it without help.
  19. I don’t believe you. I didn’t move off of anything. I don’t know Jordan’s financial status but I wouldn’t be surprised to find he’d benefited from his position, probably not as much as nancy polosi, though.
  20. Would have never dreamed the necessity to enforce simple decency.
  21. Maybe I haven’t been clear. I’m not saying anything about Trump or whom he doesn’t like. I’m saying democrats vote in lockstep while Republicans are more independent. So many in Congress have lost the perspective that it’s not their money they’re spending, it used to be our money they were spending, but the money they’re spending now doesn’t exist, except on paper; worthless paper. As for Jordans legislation, a lot of work, discussion, negotiation goes into creating some bills, done in committees. Reagan had a saying, something to the effect of how much could be accomplished when you didn’t care who got the credit.
  22. Yes, RINOs. Big spending republicans, led by lobbyists. Part of the uni-party. Whatever you want to call them. Most will leave congress many times more wealthy than they entered. In the meantime, service on our debt is greater than our defense budget.
  23. Who is this inmate you speak of, one of your students, family?
