That's the side you're on, because you knee-jerk against everything I say.
Like yesterday, when you inexplicably took Granule's side when I said Obama's was the worst admin in modern history on marijuana persecution. You're really a fool.

You see.... We have about a 70-80 year history with this shit. The whole entire reason we have a threat from radical Islamic fundamentalists, is LIBERALS! Yes, I blame 9/11, and everything that led up to 9/11, and everything that has happened since, with the Taliban and War on Terror in general, on the LIBERALS!
Way back, when America COULD have done something to prevent the course things were on, we listened to knee-jerk idiot LIBERALS who refused to even think about "American intervention" abroad. When we COULD have eradicated the problem in short order, with minimal loss of life, it was the LIBERALS who defiantly stood in the way, and insisted on DIPLOMACY instead. So we've gone along with the passive LIBERAL approach for all these years and decades, until Bush began an aggressive campaign against these people, and LIBERALS turned it into "Vietnam II" as they had all-so-often threatened to do before.
And now, after successfully destroying Bush and his policies, the LIBERAL way is once again being followed. In tow, you now have a good many Libertarian goofballs and Republican misfits, who go along with all your anti-war banter because it nostalgically reminds them of the youthful 60s, when they were young and pretty. But as we watch the nightmare of radicalism unfold across the middle east, and creep into Europe, the results of following LIBERAL policy for all these years, is becoming apparent. Things are NOT getting better, and they WON'T get better!

you're insane onceler. nothing you claim happened, ever. you missed this btw:
is this democracy:
The days leading up to the runoff proved increasingly tense for Egypt, as judges appointed by former President Hosni Mubarak ordered parliament to dissolve, a blow to the democratically elected and Islamist-dominated governing body.
On the heels of the parliament ruling and in the midst of vote counting, Egypt's ruling military issued an interim constitution that seemingly deflated whatever power the next president would have.

of course onceler runs away from the tough question....again.
This is thoroughly insane, btw. Par for the course, but insane.

THat's a complete and total strawman. What you're pissed off about is your double standard and hypocrisy being pointed out to you. I'm not exactly thrilled about an Islamic fundamentalist being elected as the head of state of Egypt but what you seem to completely miss is that this is the right of the people of Egypt in a free democracy.
We elected a war mongering incompetent nitwit in Bush who's misquided policies resulted in the death of over a hundred thousand innocent Arabs in Iraq but it was our right in a free democracy to elect such a nitwit. Your point is not only a double standard and hypocritical it rings hollow.

Yea....and look how that turned out? He was almost as inept as Bush. Granted he wasn't a war mongering liar like Bush but he was just about as inept.

onceler?
This aspect of what happened is not democracy; there are elements of our own gov't that are NOT democracy. For a 1st step, a democratic election ain't bad. And that's what Egypt had.
Or do you disagree w/ that? Now, you can answer my question. Remember - yes or no on that one.
You won't answer, though. Watch.

by definition, no, egypt is not a democracy. democracy is more than just an election of the president. you need the entire government to be a democracy. next thing you know you will claim saddam was democratically elected.
Saddam ran unopposed.
Is that what happened in Egypt? You didn't answer MY question. Was it a democratic election? Yes or no.

you're an idiot. there is no consensus on what exactly is a democratic election onceler.
how embarrassing for you. the rest of the government is not democratic, but because people voted, you want to call that democracy.

Interesting.
I said that Egypt had a democratic election, btw. That's when you replied "poor Onceler." Which is why I wanted to hear you say definitively that you think it was NOT a democratic election.
Again - it's an intriguing view, and one that I'll remember.
