How can you say that? Before Israel was a state many of their founding members were terrorist trying to win independence for themselves.
So your base argument that a Palestinian would be worthless is deeply flawed.

Sarge I have a question, what exactly is President Obama doing wrong. Could you help us all out and explain some of the flaws......If you need help look to the next quote and response.
But I would love to hear from your own words what our President is doing wrong. Hm I wonder if you would feel the same if McCain had won?LOL
You do not suspect for a moment that Cheney would love to say,"I told you so?" you do not think that for a moment?
By the term,"right action" you mean the far right response to terrorism?
You mean
Torturing people in our name?
Wire tapping Americans?
Lying to Congress when you need to get something passed?
Arresting anyone that is Muslim?
By passing the Bill of Rights by the stroke of a pen (executive order)?
Hiring untrained people to do interrogations of prisoners who know nothing.
These are just a few of the marvels of the Bush administration. Are any of these what you want the Obama administration to do?
Hm Sarge, I have a question, it is a tinny tiney question about the respect you hold for ole dick.
So your you find it offensive when someone mocks a former V.P., right? So please do tell how you feel about former V.P. Al Gore?LOL Do you hold him in the same standard or not? If you do respect the title of V.P. so much please why not tell us how you respect Al Gore also.LOL
Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind!!!LOL

There you go again trying to make something out of nothing...LOL You seem to missed the complete story for some unknown reason....Hm why word you seem to overlook the rest of the story?
Maybe you just missed it....But in an effort to help the far right I bring you the rest of the story...
http://www.abcnews.go.com/Health/Politics/story?id=7846870&page=1
The historic speech in front of a group that has blocked past reform efforts was met with respect -- he was interrupted 36 times by applause, including a handful of standing ovations. But at least once -- when he said he would not back caps on jury awards in medical liability cases -- he was booed, although the booing was notably restrained given the emotional attachment the AMA has to tort reform built on caps.
Now I can not wait for real health care and not this corporate controlled care. I spent 1000.00 dollars a month to cover my wife. Let me tell you, that was the worst thing we ever spent our money on.
1000.00 per month was suppose to be the best xEtxa provided through our company. But let me say that it was terrible. We had to wait for just about everything and when we had to do anything we had to call up and get a number.
After we got our number we would call our doctor. After we gave him the number, he then would have to confirm the number also. Then we could get the special procedure done. But, we had to wait a while because we could only go to Hospitals they were ok with.
More than once we had to wait more than two weeks to have something done. Worst part of all was when she needed a CAT scan. Well that one took too long almost 3 weeks. Do not ask how long it took for chest x-rays..
The AMA is happy with the ways things are right now. They are making hand over fist, so they do not care. But the American people are going broke trying to pay for their country home.
We need to get sky rocketing medical bill down. The only way to do this is by getting a Japanese style medical system in place.

You know the more time passes the more I really believe that Cheney wants us to pay for his mistakes. I really do think that he wants the U.S. to get hit. He may not want a big hit, but he wants a breech so he can yell that he was right.
Yet he was probably the worst VP in the last 20 years.....Well him and Quayle are neck and neck there. But I think Quayle did nothing to hurt our nation while Cheney did many thing to hurt us.
You know what is real sad about all this? Well, let me tell you, Cheney has said many things and has defended many of his tactics during his time in office.
He claimed that torture was a good thing and it kept us safe here at home. Hell, he probably has a do-it-yourself water boarding kit in the basement dungeon of one of his homes. Maybe the one he takes his "special friends" hunting.
I am still wondering who did invite Guckert to spend quality time at the White House. You know the sleep overs....LOL
But I digress, the more time passes the more and more we find out how wrong he was. We also find out how wasteful the administration he was in was.
Now it has come to light the two men the CIA was paying $1000.00, yes one-thousand DOLLARS per day, to train their interrogators how to conduct proper interrogations had never done one themselves.

It just amazes me how badly run the Bush administration was. They were giving away money to the worst qualified persons. They did not care how they spent it as long as they spent it.
Cheney has the nerve to claim that he and his friends in the W administration kept us safe. The more things come to light the worse he looks.
Funny how the only people that believed him were the ones on the far right.

I actually did and not once did he say,"Obama is the messiah" He was giving a sermon and could have been speaking about himself.
BTW where exactly as any Democrat called President Obama the messiah?
You guys bring these clips of sermons from radicals and have yet to provide a single case where anyone has said and I quote,"Obama is the messiah".
The only people talk that sort of bull are the far right wingers here and every where else.LOL
Here I just love some of these ones, some are far right winger religious nut bags other are well, just far right winger nut bags! LOL
This one is great, I loved the religious music....You guys on the right need help badly!!!LOL

Funny how the far keeps trying to claim that Louis Farahkhan said that President Obama was the messiah. While in fact what he said was
,"Sen. Obama is not the Messiah for sure, but anytime, he gives you a sign of uniting races, ethnic groups, ideologies, religions and makes people feel a sense of oneness, that’s not necessarily Satan’s work, that is I believe the work of God."
The whole thing got started by the World Net Daily a far right news source. Hm I am beginning to believe that the far right believes that President Obama is the messiah while the left thinks he is the President.

Psssssst teleprompter, do not want to kick your soap box from under you. But, Nixon resigned in disgrace because of his use of dirty tricks.
Ford was one of the worst Presidents in history and the people wanted him out.
Bush Sr was so bad that he was the only President in history to lose an election after winning a war.
Bush Jr has gone down in history as the worst President since Hoover.
I see how his views were shaped sooooooo dare I say, well..LOL
Looks like you forgot a few things about his distinguished career. Let us count the ways;
While Deputy Assistant to President Ford Cheney wanted to use the US Department of Justice to go after the reporter Seymour Hersh. Why you may ask, well Mr Hersh is an investigative journalist who digs into stories till he get the truth and it appears that Cheney hates that word...Truth.
He was campaign manager for President Ford's 1976 presidential campaign. You all know how well that turned out don't you?LOL Cheney was one hell of a campaign manager....
As a congressman Cheney voted against the establishment of making Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday a national holiday.
Voted against the creation of the Department of Education, we all know how much he wants to make sure all kids get a good education.
Cheney voted against overriding Reagan's veto when Congress tried to pass economic sanctions on South Africa. Hm wonder why....
Cheney also served as ranking minority member of the Congressional committee investigating the Iran-Contra affair. He just loved the way the far right subverted the constitution. If ya do not believe me, look it up.....
As Sec of Defense he began to down size our Military and to remove many projects.
Cheney persuaded Saudi Arabia to allow Military bases in the nation. Which later became a rallying cry for the terrorist. For some reason many Muslims did not like Western troops near their most sacred site. Wonder why that would make them angry?
CEO of Halliburton....
Did I forget anything? Hope not......
Hm interesting I looked up the job of the Director of the CIA and I did not find anything that mentioned not going after Cheney.

He wasn't just a nut, he was an uneducated nut.
He did not have the good sense not to say yes. What kills me about this guy was not the fact that he was stupid. What kills me is the fact that he had some REEEEEEAAL stupid morons following him.
His group actually believed that he was born in Afghanistan. He whipped them into a fury with the belief he was doing something for his country.
These guys were stupid.

We have had home grown terrorist for the longest time. From 60's far left radicals to the present day far right christians. The new ones to join the fray are the uneducated so called Jihadist.
How sad it is that all these folks just can not be American's.
I say take everyone one of these terrorist and haul them off to a super max and let them have fun for the rest of their lives......

Dick Cheney is a patriot, but the state of his mind maybe in question when he makes bold statement the likes he has made in the last few months.
But what type of patriot is he really?
His claims are the claims of a man who has defied the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights in the past.
Before you all in the right start jumping threw hoops and calling for my head, let me be heard.
Dick Cheney, the man who has served our nation for many year as a bureaucrat. Dare I say he has never been a sailor, soldier or marine and has a belief that our founding fathers wanted our nation to kept secret from the people.
But that way of thinking is wrong.
This man has been involved with some of the darkest periods of our greats nations history.
I will name just one to make my point.....
Iran-Contra: A moment when the Executive branch subverted the Legislative branch (subverting our Constitution!) to support an anti communist group known as the Contras. Mr Cheney, then a Rep in Congress gushed over the tactics used to fight the Communist, and I quote;
**But there were dissenters. A number of House Republicans on the committee cheered Colonel North on. One who led the way was Dick Cheney of Wyoming, who praised Colonel North as **“the most effective and impressive witness certainly this committee has heard.”****
Hello Mr. Dick Cheney, the EXECUTIVE branch just committed treason and you agreed with it? WTFO????
I myself dislike Communism, but to agree with those who subverted our Great Constitution is in my mind a crime in itself.
I do not mind seeing someone burn our flag in protest, I will defend your right to do so. But to stump on our Constitution or Bill of Rights, NEVER!
I love our Constitution, I would lay down my life to defend it. Hell I was ready to do just that for over 12 years! But the flag is nothing without that Great Paper known as the Constitution!
Mr Cheney does love America, I will never fight that statement. But he has proven in the past that he does not hold the same ideals as our founding father.
For that I will fight him and his kind always!
He believes that the people must not know everything that is done in their name. He believes that the people could never stand to accept what is done in their name.
But who is he to judge what we will stand for and what we will not?
Mr Cheney has been a supporter of the things we as a people have never stood for. He believed that it is his way or the highway......But that is the thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. His way of thinking put in place some of the most disruptive periods in our great nations history.
For that he is no patriot.............He and his war hawks need to sit in a nice hot bath and take what is coming to them.....
You all yell and scream about how our President is not protecting us all the while praying to your god that we do get hit so your point can be proven. Your far right claims to be "true patriots" but in fact your those that hate our nation. Too bad and truly too sad.

Of course he would say that, a no arms Palestinian state makes an easier target and keeps his party in power.
New election coming, attack Palestine.
The press is critical of your party, attack Palestine.
Come on what is he going to say, he wants an armed Palestine?LOL He is putting a demand on the table that he knows the Palestinians will never accept.
Could you imagine what the Israelis would have said if the Arab nations tried to force the same restrictions on them in 1948? They would have never gone for it, why should the Palestinians even consider it?

Ok now why would our President need to fire Panetta? His critique of Cheney are on target. Cheney and the rest of the far right wingers are hoping that our President and his Administration fails.
Is tell me, if you want someone to fail, don't you want the worse to happen? I for one agree with our CIA chiefs assessment of the Cheney attacks.
So why again would you fire CIA chief Paneta, could it be that he has spoken against one of your far right's sacred cows?LOL
Now I know that Paneta is correct!LOL When you a far right winger trys to make your point by hugging Pelosi you must be desperate to make your point!LOL
Everyone who has half a brain knows that Pelosi was lying about what she knew. The easy way out for her was to run to the anti CIA far left crowd. That she did, and she may have saved her political career.
I for one believe that Paneta is correct and Cheney and the far right's comments are nearly traitorous if not traitorous.
Cheney and Pelosi need to go the way of the Dinosaur...Quickly with a big explosion....LOL

I for one am sorry for the guard's family, they lost him because this far right wing nut bag wanted to kill someone.
When this far right winger ( Nazi ) walked into the museum he was trying to do one thing, be remembered for something.
Like most "outspoken" Nazis, their lives are that of mad little no-bodies who try and shove their thoughts and beliefs onto everyone. They scream and yell when someone stands up to them and forces them to back down. They try to bring everyone into their deranged world by claiming just about everything.
But when things just do not go the way they dreamed, well this is what happens.
What really is sad is that there are many more of these nut bags running than we dare to even understand. Some of them are in the open, but many more are hiding. They hide because they know that the way they think is not supported by 90% of all other Americans.
They hide in plain site always looking for more of their kind. When they find hidden friends who are like minded as them, then they sit around and talk their hate to each other. All the while knowing that if anyone ever heard them their careers would be over.
Some are highly educated professionals, some are blue collar workers. Hell some of them even go into politics. But all of them have one thing in common, they hate everyone who is not White (so called) Aryan like them. Funny thing is none of them can really prove they are this mythical race known as the Aryans.
Another really sad thing are the people try to toot their own horn at the expense of other peoples misery.....Take the great "in his own mind" Bill O;
Bill O'Reilly: "By the way for you Far Left loons out there here's something very interesting. You know the guy who murdered the security guard at the Holocaust Museum has me listed on his website as a bad guy."
The far right nut bag known as Bill-O is trying to tell America that he is not a far right wing nut bag. How is he making this connection, well because this White supremacist did not like him?
How sad is that......
Now could someone tell what the difference between these two Far right sayings are. For some reason every time I have asked it no one can or will answer it for me.....
White male power structure
White power
Please tell what the difference is, no one seems willing to answer that question...
