There are many posts here in RW that make me head scratch. What do you want?..The Middle Eastern Islamofascists to "
Beat" the "Western progressive minds"?..What do you think their agenda is? Islamofacists will enslave your your women and behead you! You are a Frakin infidel! Just read their redirects and religion..Kill the infidel's..The first group they will eliminate are western liberals.....Anyone who believes in Women's rights, Gay marriage, or any progressive liberal thought will be the first to go...It's why they hate the "West" to begin with..They have more in common with Republicans than with liberals...It is one of the greatest Ironies going. There is no intelligent response to this...Just "TRYING" to have one makes my point. And you know it..They don't hate the west because of Hero or Auraptor..they hate us because of you...Watch what you wish for!!!!

Um, the thing is, kaneman, these Islamo-fascists you're talking about don't have a chance in hell of carrying out your fantasy. Yes, they may kill a few thousand people every, oh I don't know, five years?

Well, not yet.

Maybe, every ten?

So every ten years a few thousand Americans die from spectacular terror attacks? Even this worst case scenario ain't gonna break us, kaneman. More Americans die in car wrecks and from cancer and from a million other causes and it don't put a dent in the American Way.

You and folks like you are taking the stated wishes of a few outlaws and imaginatively granting them near infinite power to bring their fantasies to fruition. The evil blood-thirsty Koran wasn't written yesterday. The "jihadists" have had hundreds and hundreds of years to get their game on and it's amounted to very little, politically speaking--

--until the neo-cons made 9/11 their pretext for launching a full-frontal power-grab in the Middle East. Because of Bush and Co., these political nobodies have more press than they've gotten in 30 years and more influence than they could have gained any other way. These folks don't even run a country, their infrastructure is constantly under attack and their membership constantly in harm's way and they are not, inspite of American hysteria, gaining ground (and please, don't talk to me about Iraqi "insergents," that is a whole different issue).

Okay, kaneman, we're stretching the usefulness of internet communication here. You seem pretty irate. You're jumping to a lot of conclusions. I'll try to make myself clearer. If I don't see any progress in your next post toward understanding me, I will not reply.

Firstly, I was not suggesting that any of these attacks you mentioned were unreal or fantastical. Good grief, what a bizarre opinion you must hold of me!

The fantasy I was talking about, the fantasy you neo-con apologists love to repeat in varying degrees of lurid detail was this:

Quote:
Islamofacists will enslave your your women and behead you!

No, kaneman, they won't. I repeat, there is no chance in hell that Islamo-fascists will ever be in a position to enslave American women en masse, or cut off the head of any RWED forum poster you care to name. It's pure hysterical fantasy.

Quote:
Do not let your hatred of the US cloud your Judgement...Terrorism rides the same freight train as progress. First stop? Liberal Station!

kaneman, what evidence do you have that I hate the US? I mean real evidence. What have I said that is consistent with hating the US? What is it with you guys and imagining that people who simply disagree with you must hate America?

Seriously, where do you get this crap? It honestly saddens and disgusts me to be told this over an internet forum. It is my love for our amazing country that demands that I speak out against the corporate interests that are trying to dismantle our legitimate government and create a perminent majority based on greed and global military dominance.

Quote:
PS. Your "few thousand people every five years or so" are Thousands of others' Grandparents, Children, Husbands, Wives, Loved ones, etc...Lamest argument ever...Like The post says "Watch what you wish for"! Put to "Troll" country! There is no Intelligent discussion on this topic outside of mine!

Your rant is so misplaced. Do you think I'm advocating that we simply sit back and do nothing, that we should simply and coldly let these people die? Where do you get that idea, kaneman? Man, kaneman, are you new here or what? You have absolutely no clue who I am or how I feel.

Again, I was objecting to your premise that the Islamo-fascists would enslave our women and take off my head. I was saying that the most they could do was kill people in terrorist attacks. I did not mean to imply that killing people in a terrorist attack was somehow unimportant or excusable.

I simply meant to suggest that terrorist attacks do not take over countries, kaneman! They don't. And they won't take over this one. Please, don't try to paint me as an inhumanly cold monster that doesn't care about the loss of life.

Quote:
PSS. Car wrecks and smoking are human error that do not have ILLINTENT AT HEART..you must understand that?...or maybe not. I forget sometimes, all on this board are "Shiny type folks".....erm please..Where is Citz' back ass logic when you freaks like you need it most!

How old are you, kaneman? I'm imagining that you are very young to speak so rudely without cause.

You seem to suggest that punishing wrong doers is more important than saving lives, that someone dying in a car wreck is less important or tragic than someone dying in a terrorist attack.

Again, you were suggesting in your original post that terrorism presented a great threat to our American way of life, and I was saying that it actually didn't. That's all.

DREAMTROVE

I want the islamofascists to have the right to swing their arms at a distance which does not reach my nose.

1. 9-11, cheney, rummy, wolfowitz, perle, hillary, difi, nelson, kristol, etc. hijackers, not islamic.
2. lot of arm swinging room in the middle east.
3. islamofasicsts. islam, sure, fascists, believers in power, sure, mono-ethnic societies, yeah, hard militant rule, sometimes. Yeah, I guess islamofascists is fair. But the problem is, actually, only some of our opponents are islamofascists. We're also being opposed by islamolibertarians.

But also, islamofascists have the right to be both islamo and fascist. The fascist party has ruled austria for years, and no one complains. Why should they? It's a political perspective. Because fascists killed millions of innocent people in wwii? democrats (sorry guys) dropped two atomic bombs on japan, communists exterminated more people than fascists, and sadly republicans are now backing the genocidal pograms of wait a second, what's the word, can we get a new one out here, judeofascists? (no offense to the jewish members of the forum) But seriously, could any rush limbaugh get away with such a word today?

The problem here is that we are still running a racists society. We look at groups by their race, and not by the content of their political movement. We see jews as 'victims' and as 'liberals' whatever that means anymore. But israel is a monoethnic militant society which worships power, which is more or less our working definition of fascism.

If we want to define fascism by intent, which perhaps we should, since no one calls the japanese fascists anymore, or the s. koreans, but they do say it of the n. koreans, that under such a new definition, a whole slab of white supremacists will get dropped from the title, and some black power groups might get added. Which reminds me of another thing, just a curious question.

What has the nation of islam been up to? Does anyone hear from them? are they being profiled as suspected terrorists? Someone detaining Louis Farrahkhan at airports?

anyway, fascism doesn't imply that you're on a campaign of regional conquest (imho zion-america is on one), but austria is not on a campaign of regional conquest of europe, nor japan of asia.

I think if we're going to define fascist as an ideolgy of regional conquest, torture, massive depopulation, etc. we might have to bring out the term judeofascism.

They also believe that western countries don't have the stones(balls) or intestinal fortitude(guts)to continue to oppose them. After reading some of the opinions sheared here, it would appear so.

Just the other day I watched a family of middle eastern people walking to the store ...the women[covered from head to toe in cloth] stayed 3 steps behind the men... I approached the men to ask why this was... from what I gathered the woman is a defilement and she is only the property of the man if he wishes and she was ever out ahead of the man then all kinds of rituals would incur to clean the sin(right about here my eyes glazed over cause I knew from reading other stuff what these people were all about)there was a few other explanations about their way of how women should be treated but I'm sure you can see where these people are at as far as a equality type society. If you don't know how Muslim's treat women then ask one he will tell you they are proud of it.

One more thing... they believe it not to be a sin to lie to any non-Muslim. SSSSssooo ...you can not believe any thing they say to non-Muslims.
Which can only lead one to believe they are liars bent only on world domination.

Good post KANEMAN thank you.

If these people ever gained a strong foot hold here in the USA their agenda would accelerate only to be kept at some control by every gun toten' NRA member and non-NRA member who wish to die free.

Its all I ask.

What in the world? "Psuedo logic?" It's not a matter of logic, it's a dang oversight. FMF, ya know, you're right. You're absolutely right. I was not thinking of our active duty members. I meant no insult to them. At all. The soldiers that post on this board were outside the context of my argument with kaneman.

A good friend of mine is in the Air Force. He just got his orders and shipped out last Monday for 7 months in the desert. But my friend and those folks on this board on active duty weren't the ones kaneman was attacking. He was attacking folks like me. When I said "any RWED forum member you can name," the forum members that he would name was implied. That was the context of my remarks.

My argument was focused on people like myself and Signy and Rue and other vocally anti-GWOT folks who specifically won't be going over there. My point was that folks who don't go over there won't be getting beheaded.

The core of kaneman's argument, as I understand it, is that we must do as the administration says, accept every abridgement of our rights, or face Islamo-fascist take over. I disagree.

Does context count for nothing anymore? The whole thrust of kaneman's rant was out of context ravings about what people like me believe based on his willful misunderstanding of our position; about how evil and stupid and naive and dangerous people like me are for not believing that Islamo-fascism is a credible threat to the American way of life. He wasn't talking about soldiers who post on this board and neither was I.

Again, I apologize if anyone got the impression that I was making a comment about any forum posters who are in the military. If any of you are reading this, I'm sorry. The world is in a lot of trouble and we all must make some very difficult decisions. I admire your courage and your faith and your willingness to put yourself at risk for your ideals. And I pray daily for an end to this war and your safe return home.

They hate us for our freedom?

How about:

"people don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome."

Perhaps if we left these people alone and didn't support oppressive Middle Eastern governments (as long as they keep the oil flowing) they might leave us alone in return.

OBL's main issue was US soldiers in their Holy Land. That and the US's unwavering support of Isreal. It is, after all, American bullets and bombs that are killing the Lebanese and Palestinian people. Even if we don't pull the trigger, we still are somewhat responsible.

Things are rarely black and white. There is often some truth in all sides of an argument.

Lastly, if we had minded our own business and not trained a generation of these people on how to kill in Afghanistan, we might not be in this position.

Good luck to your nephew FMF. Tell him to keep his head down and while they will likely not make it past the switchboard, he will be in my prayers.

if i may be honost, this kind of comment literally makes my skin crawl. i constantly hear republican talk show hosts beating this same drum, about how Americans are weak in our resolve, and dont have the back bone to stand up for "whats right;"...its all these damn tree hugging liberals who love the terrorists!"

do you understand what your saying? youd rather rush off to fight a war, based solely on the governments word, when youve been given nothing but faulty evidence from day one? 5 years of foreign policy, a several trillion dollar+ deficit, a never ending war on "terror" and the middle east; a permamant decline of civil liberties, along with increased federal control and authority. and do i need to remind you that our borders are WIDE OPEN! with the NAFTA super corridor on the way! 10-20 million illegals a year..so what about these "terrorists"?

you dont believe its because Bushs wonderful policies that we havent been attacked do you, when every known terrorist attack in America of the last 15 years has known(proven) government envolvent? and im not even saying that a legitimate terrorist attack couldnt occur..its just that they are attacking our shadow government and the turmoil its creating.

a policy where we "dont negotiate with terrorists" doesnt exactly leave a door open for dialogue; but it honostly wouldnt make a difference, because our foreign policiy advisors all have the same NWO agenda. i think we need to realize that they dont want peace, and/or our best interests

this whole "cut and run" montra might have some truth, if the context for war was something you could justify; if you can even justify death. but the Iraq war has proven to be anything other then benevolent and selfless; as it is, they are conditioning you, to appeal to your national patriotism, and playing to your fears about an enemy that only exists through their creation.

our constitution forbids foreign entanglements, and especially acts of agression; dont you see glimpses of Nazi germany, when we're told that its "UN-patriotic" for questioning the motives of our government, or "anti-american" for not wanting to rush off to war and murder our agenda into place. obviously, every human being deserves freedom and democracy, but a legitimate one with no alterior motive.

i mean given the history of decietfulness from our own establishment, who really stands to gain from terrorism? we only encroach futher into the Muslim world and remove more American liberties under the guise of security; to be, it would seem our own establishment wins either way.

as others have said, Al-qaeda recieved major American funding, and had Osama listed as a CIA asset until only recently. we can prove he was even visited by CIA officials at a hospital in Dubia in '00, while he was wanted for the USS cole bombing. how are we honostly expected to believe Osama is the big bad boogy-man antichrist of America, when his own FAMILY is a friend of the Bushs?

there so little truth to grasp on to from the government, what are we really basing our decisions from? dont you Bush/war supporters share any of these questions?

Along a similar line... I just read a self-published op-ed (or blog post

"Wait, Aren't You Scared?"

Errr, no. And if you are, you frankly should be a little goddam embarrassed.

No false bravado and it's not that I don't take terrorism seriously. I do, which {is} why I voted for the guy who believed in securing our ports and fighting terrorism with criminal investigation methods -- which is, if we may remind everybody, how this particular plot was busted.

I am just not going to wet my pants every time some guys get arrested in a terror plot. I will do my best to stay informed. I will support the necessary law enforcement agencies. I will take whatever reasonable precautions seem, um, reasonable. But I will not be terrorized. I assume that the terror-ists would like me to be terror-ized, as that is what {it} says on their nametag, rather than, say, wanting me to surrender to ennui or negative body image, and they're just coming the long way around.

...

Maybe it's just, I cast my eyes back on the last century ...

FDR: Oh, I'm sorry, was wiping out our entire Pacific fleet supposed to intimidate us? We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and right now we're coming to kick your ass with brand new destroyers riveted by waitresses. How's that going to feel?

CHURCHILL: Yeah, you keep bombing us. We'll be in the pub, flipping you off. I'm slapping Rolls-Royce engines into untested flying coffins to knock you out of the skies, and then I'm sending angry Welshmen to burn your country from the Rhine to the Polish border.

US. NOW: BE AFRAID!! Oh God, the Brown Bad people could strike any moment! They could strike ... NOW!! AHHHH. Okay, how about .. NOW!! AAGAGAHAHAHHAG! Quick, do whatever we tell you, and believe whatever we tell you, or YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!! PUT DOWN THAT SIPPY CUP!!

Thanks for the link, SoupCatcher. "YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!" That's funny.

Yes, the liquid explosives plot was thwarted by conventional anti-criminal procedures, not by starting WWIII in Iraq. Terrorism is the M.O. of the politicallly powerless. If these folks could have advanced their political causes by conventional means they absolutely would have. No legitimate government over there would support them. If we had continued to deal with terrorists as criminals they would to this day have no real political power.

As has been stated loudly and often, the Islamo-fascists want to bring down the West. But they can't do it on their own. No terrorist attack, no amount of terrorist attacks will do it. But if they can spark WWIII then the West might indeed be brought low.

The Islamo-fascists want WWIII! And under the current administration we are giving them WWIII! We are giving them exactly what they can't get themselves: political power and relevance!

HKCavalier, I particularly loved the line (wrt the UK plot), "The fact that these wingnuts could have been rolled up, at will, at any time, seems to have competely escaped the media buzz. ... This is terrorism's A-game? Sack up, people."

I firmly believe, as I have stated previously, that al Qaeda and other groups cannot accomplish their stated goal of destroying the US. Not on their own. The biggest threat we face is that our leaders, in an effort to "protect" us, will change the country to something that would be the antithesis of what the founders intended.

These various terrorist groups are a threat. And there is no doubt in my mind that they would like to kill me. But the level of threat they pose to the survival of our country is negligible. And the level of threat they pose to me personally is somewhere less than getting struck by a bolt of lightning. Just because someone wants to do something doesn't mean they can.

However, and this is the part that really pisses me off, we're not even taking reasonable precautions. The sole extent of this administration's plan to protect our country is to send our military to engage in some domino-theorying in the Middle East (Wasn't the domino theory a bad thing? Why are we trying to implement it?). I read an article like this ( http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1155AP_Terror_Explosives_Detect
ion.html ) and I wonder how serious the Department of Homeland Security is about securing the homeland.

I don't want my government telling me to be afraid. Although, since I'm not one of those authoritarian followers who are prone to panicking easily, that message is probably not intended for me anyway. I do want my government investing in cutting-edge technology and implementing protocols to minimize the likelihood of another attack on US soil. And I don't see this administration doing that. What I do see this administration doing is hyping the fear so the masses fall into line and scream, "protect me, daddy."

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

I thought we had an agreement. I'll let it slide this time..

So Kaneman is a terrorist too, cause this trollpost serves exactly the same purpose, doesn't it ?

I guess that makes Al Qeada the real world equivalent of an internet troll, which, one must admit, isn't exactly scary.

But then, neither is Kaneman.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

They also believe that western countries don't have the stones(balls) or intestinal fortitude(guts)to continue to oppose them.

This is nonsense. I'm sorry, but this is a pretty uninsightful look into the situation.

Most of 'them' actually would like very much us to leave their homeland, a few would prefer that we fight. This is because the extremists, Bin Laden et al, actually benefit from our presence.

This of it, if a group of americans were tremendously anti-semitic, it would help there cause greatly for israel and the jews to start behaving in an evil fashion. Check it out in any city, enrollment of youth into neonazi groups is skyrocketing. Why? Not because the nazis have evolved a better recruitment campeign, they're still on the old, "oh, please worship our mass murderer." No, it's because israel and the MSM are out of control, and they are the longest standing direct opposition to israel and the MSM.

Same applies to Bin Laden. He's been saying the US will invade the middle east, target civilians, torture children and steal oil. When we do that, it's a giant recruiting poster for Bin Laden.

It's not that the ragheads are a bunch of ninnies who are taunting america.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!

Sorry to be so late.

Uhmm ..... HK ..... exactly how did you become "w" of RWE? I looked and looked. OK, maybe I'm just a little distracted (just got out of the ER), but I just couldn't find it anywhere.

Besides, as your VP, I get to stay down in the secret bunker for the next few weeks.

So buck up old chap, chin up, that's a boy. :pats you on the shoulder: Cheerio now !

(JUST KIDDING OF COURSE! IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AROUND.
