Terror!?

Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?

And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was ‘desecrated’ when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?..Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.

I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia

I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I’ll care when the cowardly so-called ‘insurgents’ in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .

I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don’t care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care…

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed ‘special’ food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being ‘mishandled,’ you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care.

And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled ‘Koran’ and other times ‘Quran.’ Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don’t care !!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

‘Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem’ – Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND…I hope you forward all this.

‘If we ever forget that we’re One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.’ Also by… Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: ‘A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in… And how many want out.’

The last thing, by the way, that we should do is to elect as President of the United States, someone who claims to love America yet, WILL NOT salute the flag, WILL NOT pledge allegiance to our flag, and sat in a church listening to a ‘pastor’ that HATES America! Are you Freakin’ kidding me?

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

  1. Jesus Christ
  2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM

I wondered when the political message would be delivered…get everyone fired up with things we all probably think, then throw in some unfounded BS about a political candidate - BRAVO douchebag. Between this crap and the emails about his middle name being HUSSEIN I realize how ignorant we really are as a society.

We have done oh so well in the past 20 yrs with White Christian Men running this place…

This line of thinking will only lead to 4 more years of all the crap we’re already dealing with. Our economy can’t handle all the money we are spending on this “war on terror”. And in the definition of “war”, isn’t there supposed to be an opposing side that is fighting back? Why can’t we get back to defending OUR country, instead of spending lives and dollars on a place that doesn’t even want us there.

I’m all for the Department of Defense, but I can’t stand how it turned into the Department of OFFENSE.

Face it… a handful of crazies changed the lifestyle of 275 million people. And we just let it keep happening, day after day, while OUR freedoms are being taken away… not by them, but by our OWN government.

Try blaming THAT on someones middle name!

You should both stick to racing.

You’re right Rex… politics is not my subject. It just pisses me off that our country always seems to have enough money for many things abroad, and never enough to fix our own problems right here.

9/11 didn’t ruin our economy and freedoms, the decisions since then have.

Yea…if only I could…

Between this crap and the emails about his middle name being HUSSEIN I realize how ignorant we really are as a society.

well, yes, exactly.

it’s so much better to vote for him because he’s an “enlightened being”.

A San Francisco Columnist?

You didn’t really use a column from a San Fransico paper to support did you? I put as much weight into that as I do from the people that claim Obama will not recite the pledge. The man’s middle name is what it is. If I were McCain I would use his full name every time I mentioned him! As far as what all this has to do with racing I have no idea! Maybe If we do nothing against terrsorist all we will have left is Camel racing?:aetsch013:

The price of FUEL. The fact that we are losing buts in the seats to fuel prices is a TERROR ACT against racing. The fact we are paying FUTURES prices for gas is a TERROR PLOT That will never be brought to light of day.

sooooo, we should drill for oil in Alaska and off the coast of Florida? sweet, i’m voting for you.

to support what?

bubba was accusing people who don’t like Barack of being “ignorant” and “douche-bags”.

i’m just pointing out that if you think people who can’t stand Obama are bad, you should check out the people who are voting for him.

i dunno, maybe bubba is one of those women who faints we she attends an Obama speech? :confused:

personally, i think it’s hilarious that a through and through Chicago Democratic machine pol is campaigning on going to DC as a “reformer”. well, it would be hilarious except Arkansas was just as corrupt and the Bill and Hill show made it work.

Lets be clear on who I think are ignorant and douche bags…

Those who send assinine emails/posts thinly disguised as patriotic rhetoric, based on right wing propaganda - those and the ones who accept it as fact are in my book - ignorant and douche bags.

Dislike him/McCain/Hillary all you want, I respect your right to do so, but don’t try to send uninformed propaganda to the masses and pass it off as fact and patriotic bahavior. That is my point.

Vote for who you want and let the majority dictate - I had to choke down 8 years of a 3rd grader running this place. I didnt like it one bit and still don’t, but that is how this place works. Best damn country on the planet and I aint going anywhere - couldnt afford the gas if i wanted to.

I see what you mean. Our opinions are uninformed propoganda, but you are allowed to spew whatever you feel like.

Go ahead and elect a radical, high taxation democrat. These years will be known as the “Good old days”.

This discussion belongs on another forum.

I had to choke down 8 years of a 3rd grader running this place.

Oh I KNOW Bill had more than 3rd grade in Arkansas - you must be mistaken!

:wink:

I didn’t vote…

Way back in Arkansas, when I lived there, I didn’t vote for Bill Clinton for Governor.
Here in Fla I didn’t vote for him for President either. I did think his impeachment process was bulshevecki, and Hillary’s acceptance of the action starting it was equally disgusting.
But I have to say, Clinton did leave us with a surplus in the Federal coffers, that G W Bush didn’t know what to do with. Remember the $300.00 every taxpayer got soon after George took office? Thank Bill Clinton for that.
Oh, I never voted for G.W. “WAR” Bush either.
This time I don’t like anybody with a chance. John “4 more Years” McCain or Hussien Obama.
Ron Paul was the only Constitutionally true candidate we had, and the Gov’t Media wouldn’t give him a chance.

This thread has gotten incredibly boring. I can find trash talk about politicians on just about every other forum in the world.

Q. Do you really think you are going to change anybody’s political opinions on here?

(Hint: the answer starts with N)

Change anyones opinion - not a chance…

Boneman - The only political opinion I threw out was about GW being a 3rd grader. I didnt call any of the candidates “radical” etc.

Oh well, I am done…on to racing.

these are the only assertions about Obama in the entire article:
“The last thing, by the way, that we should do is to elect as President of the United States, someone who claims to love America yet, WILL NOT salute the flag, WILL NOT pledge allegiance to our flag, and sat in a church listening to a ‘pastor’ that HATES America! Are you Freakin’ kidding me?”

to which you replied:
“then throw in some unfounded BS about a political candidate - BRAVO douchebag.”

the only problem is, all of those statements about Obama are true. oh, except that he might have dropped his “principled” refusal to wear a flag lapel pin nowadays.

then you follow it up with:
We have done oh so well in the past 20 yrs with White Christian Men running this place…

wow, racist much? oh well, if you consider “facts” to be “right wing propaganda” that viewpoint doesn’t surprise me.

Calling me a racist is probably the most ironic thing in this entire chain!

the only problem is, all of those statements about Obama are true. oh, except that he might have dropped his “principled” refusal to wear a flag lapel pin nowadays.

I don’t want to get involved in a political debate on this board but just felt it necessary to correct this statement. You say it’s true that Obama “will not salute the flag”, “will not say the pledge of allegiance”, and the pastor thing I’m just going to leave out. I think it would be fairer to say that Obama sometimes chooses to salute the flag in a different manner than other grandstanding candidates. You ever look through the grandstands at a race to see how many spectators are saluting the flag like the politicians? Most salute it in the same way as Obama did. Standing erect, hat off, looking at the flag. 2nd Claim: Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Senator Obama drew some criticism over a photograph that showed him standing without his hand over his heart during the playing of the U.S. national anthem, but the claim that he “will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance” is false.

Just wanted to correct these statements. My main objection to these types of posts are that most of them presume to be fact when, in fact, they are just malicious falsehoods meant to demean someone.
