quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity quote: Ba'athist Regime Brought 'Peace and Stability for Decades' to Iraq, Thom Hartmann Gushes But hey, give the man credit -- how often do left-wingers ever admit that Saddam Hussein was a socialist? Read more: http://newsbusters.org/#ixzz37ABVate8 I am not sure what this has to do with anything that I said... So what if Saddam Hussein had some socialist policies? The United States has some "socialist" policies. Do you suffer from confirmation bias to such a high degree that you want to point out that there is a baddie who happens to have enacted some socialist policies? Can you say ideologue? With that said, calling Saddam Hussein a socialist is not completely accurate. Sure, the founders of the Baath Party, Michel Aflaq and Salah al-Bitar, had some very leftist ideas. But these men were only leaders of the Ba'ath Party in name, nominal leaders, who never capitalized on their influence. Instead, it would be strong men like Hafez al-Assad and Saddam Hussein who took power, men who albeit were leftist, were first and foremost, ardent nationalists. To put things into perspective, Saddam's view on border patrol is closer to that of a U.S. conservative, his view on defense, closer to that of a U.S. conservative, his view on dealing with potential "national security" threats, closer to that of a U.S. conservative. Although, "U.S. conservative" is also inaccurate. There are many U.S. conservatives who care strongly about preserving individual rights and liberty--and would stand against such draconian measures as were enacted under the Bush and Obama administrations.

Be it the case they are destroying relics when are they dropping by one of those Republican conferences? They can destroy their hearts out at one of those gatherings.

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 As if you give a fuck about ancient relics in the middle east......... Your boy George kicked all this off in Iraq, along with Blair. No doubt you will continue to blame Obama though. All the Dems such as Bill and Hill, Gore, Kerry, etc etc etc were on board, giving speeches about the extreme dangers of Saddam Hussein, bombing him, sponsoring legislation calling for his overthrow, voting to authorize the invasion, voting to fund the invasion But leftists and reality don't play well together, do they Its all a political game to them Leftists don't care about people, or ancient historical artifacts, anything... So long as they can throw some mud around and con the people out of enough votes to gain the power they crave As if you arent playing a political game, you are so dense you cant see your posts for what they are. Like I said, you dont give a flying fuck about the relics, just about having a dig at Obama.

HuffnPoo told you there was a vast secret conspiracy, and you know for a fact that everything worth doing is supposed to be done for free, regardless of how dangerous... I suppose you volunteered to dodge the bullets and the bombs in order to help get the Iraqi people up and running on oil revenues free of charge? Oh, wait - you don't think the lives of the Iraqi people or the many ancient relics in Iraq are worth anything, especially not any personal risk on your part I almost forgot Fucking laughable, Iraqs oil industry was up and running before George "liberated" everyone. Or do you forget your own words ?

Your straw man construct of me is short sighted and stupid, and I detect that you are projecting here regarding the political aspect of it I love history and the study of civilization, as everyone should... Everyone including yourself. That its beyond contemptible how these irreplaceable ancient relics are being purposely hunted down and destroyed is something that even a lowly trollish sort such as yourself should be able to agree with me on But youre just a mindless little troll after all, I suppose. And I should therefore know better, and not be too surprised

Again you claim your pasion for history, which is a shock considering you know fuck all on the topic. Take note, I have never said it is okay to destroy relics, thats only another lie from you. Pulling you up on your continued political bashing of your own President, isnt me setting up straw men, it is me pointing out your bullshit. You forget one thing, no I take that back, you are just too stupid to spot it. So yet again I will have to treat you as a four year old and point it out for the umpteenth time. I blame Blair more for getting us involved than I blame Bush, that is because Blair was our Prime Minister at the time. Now listen carefully because I know it wont sink in otherwise. Bush is right wing, Blair is left wing, more left wing than Obama could ever be. HOW THE FUCK CAN MY BLAMING BOTH A LEFT WINGER AND A RIGHT WINGER BE POLITICAL.

And I am sure someone has pointed out to you that we are discussing American politics, but you're just too stupid to get that by our standards you are a very typical far left loon And really, Obama fully deserves to be bashed for his part in this

I agree with you on one point in your post though, because by your extremer right wing views, another moderate right winger would indeed be "Far left by your standards"

FR Back to the topic: Dam yoo George Boosh As the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) leaves a path of destroyed churches and mosques in its wake, some wonder whether Mecca may also be in line for destruction. [image]local://upfiles/292349/F6AC96EA8A5D4CAFBD703201526E67B3.jpg[/image]
