ParticipantOr as that fellow Burke said some time ago, “For evil to triumph only requires that good men do nothing.”
Our wealth as a nation, coupled with a relativist zeitgeist has allowed the elevation of muddle-headed emoting to pass for actual thought. Add to this an ersatz edutocracy, and we have far too many citizens incapable of discerning the difference.

ParticipantRight now at this very moment we absolutely should not intervene in Iran. Seriously, if Obama ramped up his rhetoric and started denouncing the election all those people in the streets of Tehran would be seen as treasonous against their own country and working on behalf of America. This would give the current regime all the bs reasons they need to be open fire on their own people.
we don’t want to give them any other reason to place blame on what is happening other than Iranians are finally fed up with the theocracy in their country. Any other way would be rash and immature. Germany, France and England can say whatever they want, because who really cares in the world arena what they think. The mullah’s only care what we think and say.

Participant[quote=GoUSC]Of course we shouldn’t get involved in the issues of other countries…
I mean it’s not like…
1. A bunch of guys flew planes into two buildings in New York.
2. Or blew up a bunch of trains in Spain.
3. Or just today said if they got Pakistan’s nuclear weapons they would use them against us.
4. Or are trying to acquire nuclear weapons and plan to fire a ballistic missile towards Hawaii.
Of course not. If we just stick our heads in the sand and don’t activity take a roll in the world today all of these problems will go away.
I mean afterall we should all behave like Neville Chamberlain. That really worked out well for Europe.
The naivity of people never ceases to amaze me.
Look I am no surpport of George Bush. He did plenty wrong. But Obama is trying to use the current situation to push through a huge program of increase government spending and doing it at a time when everybody is more worried about paying their bills then focusing on what Washington is doing.
We *CANNOT* run ourselves in tens of trillions of dollars of debt and expect it to work.
With all that said I think everyone in DC doesn’t give a crap about us and that being a politician has become more about getting re-elected than serving the country.[/quote]
Dont bother trying to bring this kinda stuff up in a thread like this. That isnt the point of a thread like this. The point of a thread like this is to blow off steam, fingerpoint, get angry, insult “them” and their “lack of understanding or leadership”, and get those who agree with you to reinforce your views. Same as the threads it rails against. It is differenton in target of the furry only.
Hopefully these threads serve the purpose that people can then speak civially on othter threads and actually exchange ideas and reason together.
