Commented Dec 02, 2009 at 21:30:59 in World
“And I never said that they had died already. Thousands of Americans have died in Iraq along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Is this the direction we want to go in Afghanistan as well?”

“What about thousands of innocent Afghan civilians and American troops? Will that make you sleep better? Are your shoes worth it?”

“We have not killed thousands of Afghan civilians. Nor have thousands of troops died. (In fact, I think we are far too timid with our troops.) That is why I called the argument ridiculous in my initial post.”

“I am worried about the cost. But the "thousands of lives" argument is ridiculous.
And if we happen to kill thousands of Taliban, and other extremists, Insh Allah, I will sleep better at night, and maybe one day keep my shoes on at the airport.”

“derek-The usual out for a lib. Saving billions and saving American lives. Tell me were you as concerned when we responded to 9/11 or are your concerns the way you really felt after 9/11. Nice side step on the Sudan.”

“Are there any real journalists left in this country?”
Durango replied on Sep 17, 2009 at 13:41:06
“Yes, absolutely.
Watch Bill Moyers. And apparently Mcklatchy. Amy Good man does an excellent job though her bias is evident. It doesn't detract from her ability to cover stories.
And of course, Stewart and Colbert. A sad commentary but true.”

Healthcare Reform Named After Ted Kennedy Must Not Suck
Commented Aug 28, 2009 at 13:35:39 in Politics
“You think that's not already happening here? Haven't you heard of the hospitals who dump patients without insurance into a cab and then dumped on the curb by another hospital, with the patients still in their hospital garb?
Not to mention 50 million people in this country aren't getting ANY care in hospitals at all, appalling or otherwise. You act like we aren't capable of improving on other countries models which are ALREADY BETTER than ours... Every health care system has problems, none of them are perfect. But it's just dishonest to paint the entire NHS as a failure (just ask the people of Britain if they'd ever give up their NHS system) because of some of the problems they've had. And regardless, they're health care system is STILL better and costs infinitely LESS than ours.”

“Who cares about either of these stories? And honestly, who did Obama endanger by parking illegally? Do we know the circumstances of the parking?
Speeding is clearly more dangerous. Especially in a school zone.
But like I said, I couldn't care less about either of these stories. They're both non-issues. 90% of people on the road speed at some time or another, this guy was just unlucky enough to get caught. Give him a break.”

“The Boston Globe's reporting of the story indicated that President Obama (while in law school) parked in designated city bus stops, in areas that required parking permits, and at metered spaces without paying the meter.
I agree that the danger is likely non-existent. The issue the article brings up is whether these instances reveal that these individuals feel that they are above the law. Many have attacked other politicians and political appointees in recent months for failing to pay taxes. The criticisms go to the same point - people who wish to make the laws by which we must abide must set an example by abiding by these laws themselves.”
