"Democracy" didn't work out the way the US wanted when Hamas got themselves elected the LAWFUL GOVERNMENT of Palestine.
Actually, I think it worked just peachy. Now if they do inhumane things, overstep their boundaries, and whatnot, we can discuss it with a governing entity and the people themselves can face the consequences that follow. Afterall, they did vote for the guys. Isn't that what you all have been saying about Bush?
quote:
Perhaps Condi Rice JUST ISN'T SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH to handle the complexities of the gig? Hell, she can't even hide the home she owns with her lesbian friend ( Which would get her tossed from the military... )
Well, you managed a smear, an allegation and an outright insult all without saying much of anything!! Hats off to you.
Jeesh.
I said she wasn't up to the job. If you don't consider that "much of anything" then that's not my problem.
No, you said she wasn't sophisticated enough. You didn't actually state any factual information.
quote:
It's sad that some would consider valid criticism of her repeated failures as a smear, allegation or insult?
There was nothing there other than your basic name calling and smears. Any sort of actual facts, links, logical reasoning as to why you feel she ought to be criticised? Nope, just smears.
quote:
Do you think being Gay is something to be ashamed of, and therefore insulting? And therefore there's something insulting about recognition of her homosexuality?
Obviously you do, since you brought it up with a negative tone and even suggested that she'd be ousted from the military (though she's not a member of the Armed Forces).
quote:
Are you not allowed to criticize homosexuals for their failures in other arenas?
Hmm... I don't know... are you? Do you have anything other to say critical? Your post was rather light on details other than her sexuality.. Your whole problem seems to reside in that arena, though it's the first I've heard. *shrugs*
quote:
If she's too scared to come out, then what does that say for her Personal Integrity and Fortitude?
You have links? As for personal integrity and fortitude, you haven't actually given me any proof. As far as her sexuality is concerned, it'd be nice if it didn't matter, but she'd be likely to be envicerated by Democrats as much as by Republicans.
quote:
Do you have evidence to offer of Rice's Competence in *any* arena? Foreign Policy? You're wanting me to disprove your source-less smears? I think it's your job to prove your allegations or accusations. Plus, I think this would deserve it's own thread. And how is this related in any way to the original topic? quote:
Or even keeping under the strict Don't Ask, Don't Tell restrictions required of other homosexuals in the service of the US requiring them to avoid joint-ownership of real-estate assets with their partners?
Wow, you jump from one thing to another. This is actually two different topics altogether. First, is it a good idea to have gays/women in the military and second, if it is, how? Openly practicing homosexuality allowed? How about you start a thread on it?
